THE INDIAKAPOLIS JOTTITNAIi, FRIDAT, NOVEMBER 4, 183T.

of the room is of tbe plainest character, and the floors are bare except for two small and wornoat roes, whieh appear just like a patch in the eenter. A more uninviting room and apartments can scarcely be fancied, but it wa all forgotten in the charm of the presence of the owner. There is a peculiar attraction in the culture and the- manners of many of tb Catholic - riestbood, which ia not less appreciated and admired . by Protestants than by Catholics. I do not know when I have ipentan hour more fall of interest, instruction

VmIa iuwcuvviiua4 vuvuicut iuu vu jiear, lovely old roan. He is within a month or iwo of four score; but, while his figure is very jpare, his face wan. and the wrinkles on it deep indeed, the glorious soul and mind which God pave him beam with an unspeakable luster. He looked me straight and steadily in the eyes as be talked in earnest, gentle tones, and it was long after I left before the brighter and purer atmosphere which he diffused faded. Naturally, our talk ran upon English, Irish and American politics, and to some extent upon church mat. ten. The Cardinal evineed accurate knowledge of American affairs. He admires our form of government, bnt thinks its administration could be improved if we bad fewer elections and longer terms of office. . He tatces much interest in the proposition for the assembling: of a Catholic congress of English-speaking people, and said be had jnst received a letter from Bishop Ireland in regard to that matter. I asked the Cardinal about the progress of Catholicism in England. He said it was most gratifying; that it was not so much in comparative point of numbers as in material progress and influence. Tbe church now stood on a happy basis in England and was given as . much consideration by government and people as an other denomination. The Church of England did not exercise or attempt to exercise any direct infiaence on legislation or politics, but of course its patronage controlled votes. He showed me from his window a splendid site, covering four acres, which be secured some time since for tbe erection of a grand cathedral in London. He said he should not, at bis advanced time or me, attempt to oegm tne work of building this cathedral; that he must leave for his successor. In speaking of English politics, he said it was probable that no people were better satisfied with the strncture of their covernment and its institutions than those of &reat Britain. In no government in the world was there such a degree of absolute personal liberty aa in Great Britain. One never knew there was any law until he ran against it. Scotland and England were completely fused In Identity of interest. It was different with Ireland, because of the different treatment That inhappy island has been ruled by England for more than three centuries by force alone. It iras under Henry VIII that the policy was intngurated which had made and kept Ireland lisaffeeted. Had it not been for tbis Ireland would have been as devoted and as loyal to the Enslish crown as Scotland. He was an Englishman to the backbone, but he knew and ioved the Irish people! A more true, a more loyal, and a more noble race never existed. They could be ruled with an uplifted thumb when kindly and justly dealt with, but they never would bow to foree and wrongHe had often been asked about boymtters and moonshiners, and so on. He believed that injustice always developed the worst passions of men. and boycotters and moonshiners were the product of injustice. Proper and just land laws be considered to be the essential elem'snt for the tranquilizing of Ireland, and one feature must be the requirement of absentee landlords to return or part with their estates. There were several big corporations in London which owned vast tracts of land in Irelaud. This was manifestly wrong, and one of the first things to be remedied was that these lands should go into the possession of those whose labor gave them all the value they possess. The Cardinal said he had never been much enamored with the name of "Irish Parliament." Id his view tbe legislative body to be treated for Ireland should not be one with the prerogatives of a Parliament as commonly understood, but a chamber which shoald have the control of legislation affecting local matters nly. I said to him I had found no sentiment worth speaking of in London in favor of Irish lome rule, and inquired what he thought about the prospects. He replied that London was intensely aristocratic, intensely wedded to custom, -,nd therefore opposed to change. But it was jot so in the provinces. The feeling in favor of jome rule was growing rapidly every day in the country, and he had the strongest belief it would eventually be strong enough to control both houses of Parliament and force justice to be done the Irish. He could not venture to predict Then this day would come, but he hoped to see A REMARKABLE CENTENARIAN. A Friend of Robespierre and a Witness of tho Reign of Terror. Pall Mall Gazette. A Constantinople correspondent writes to us as follows with reference to a remarkable centenarian who bad been a friend of Robespierre: "Constantinople has just lost its oldest inhabilane in tbe person of M. Dimitrios Antippa, who died on the 10th inst. at the extraordinary age of 115. He really counted as a figure in history, though few who knew him and respected him as a modest yet influential merchant were aware how eventful had been the early part of his long Ufa. He was born in 1772, at Cephalonia, his Barents being engaged in commerce at Constantinople. Here be remained until he was fifteen. When, yielding to the persuasion of the attache) at the French embassy M. Chenier, brother of the famous poet, nd a great friend of the family Antippa pere resolved to send his son to Paris, the center of thought and learning, where he might complete his education in the best way. The boy saw the Freneh capital during its most awful revolutionary period. He witnessed all tbe Khastly scenes of the Reign of Terror. He knew Marat, Danton, Robespierre porsonally. As a Greek he could frequent both Girondist and ftlontagnard societies; and was intimate, now with Camilla Desmoulins and Barnave, now with Tallien and St. Just. In Rime. Tallien's salon be daneed the Carmagnole and sang "Ca ira." He was a friend of poor Andre Chenier, and aw him die. He also was present at the murder of Marie Antoinette on the scaffold. In fact he witnessed the guillotine destroy all its most Jamous victims. When tbe storm had passed, in the calm time which succeeded it, young Antippa returned to his parental home at Constantinople, and started life as a merchant From numerous friends of note in Paris he had obtained most flattering letters of recommendation; and these helped him at once to get complete recognition in the French society of Constantinople, then far more powerful than it is to-day. The embassies one and all received him as a distinguished guest; and the Freneh embassador became his most intimate friend. At the French embassy young Antippa is said to have first introduced the Carmagnole, which was danced in Pera durine the carnival of 1794-5. In his habits M. Antippa was m?st retiring, even reserved and cold toward strrneers. For eighty years he lived at his residence at Tatavla, on ice neiguis racing too inrsisa capuai. xs was within easy distance of his office at Galata, to which bo was wont to ride daily, invariably attended by a servant GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Two Companies of Peruvian Soldiers Rebel Fourteen of the Mutineers Shot. TatJJiLLO, Peru, Oct L At 11 p. m. on Sept 27 a mutiny broke out in the barracks of tbe Zepita battalion, which is quartered here, and two companies succeeded in escaping, after mortally wounding the captain of the guard and killing the sentry. It is said the soldiers mutinied owing to receiving only three paper soles per day as ration money. The movement was led by a sergeant who is known to have been a triminal of the worst kind and a murderer. The mutineers proceeded to the barracks, bnt the lieutenant on duty stood bravely to his' post and resisted a heavy fire until he was reinforced by the sub-prefect of police.

Tracing; th Orator to HI r.alr. London, Not. 4. The Standard, referring to the speech made by Minister Phelps last night at Nottingham, in which he deprecated the fact that there was so much public speaking in England, says that he "put it in such a nice, alluring form that the average man might be excused for taking it for a virtne not to be able to speechify. If, however, Mr. Phelps wants to trace the emit home, be will find that the track leads to the doors of the great orators of the western continent" Bismarck Reassures the Turk. St. Petersburg, Nov. & The Porte has displayed some uneasiness concerning the recent interview between Prime Minister Criapi, of Italy, and Prince Bismarck, in consequence of the views attributed to Italy in regard to Tripoli; and Prince Bismarck, in order to quiet tbis apprehension, has assured tbe Sultan that Germany will never share, either morally or materially, in any enterprise which threatens the integrity of Turkey.

THREE FAMOUS CRIMINALS. "Big Ed" Eice, "Fatty" Stewart and "Punch" Mason Lodged in Jail at Brownstown. Special to the Indiananolis Journal. Seymour, Ind., Nov. 3. Sheriff L. P. Byrne, of this eounty, arrived here at 11 o'clock to-day from Detroit, Mich., having in his custody "Big Ed'"Rice, "Fatty" Stewart and "Punch" Mason, three confidence men of national reputation. Sheriff Byrne was accompanied by detective Albert Bierbeck, of Detroit, and Jaa. J. Huston, deputy sheriff of Wayne county (Detroit) Mich., who, as a precaution, were handcuffed to the prisoners. The men were brought by way of Cincinnati, where a special order was given the fast mail to stop at Brownstown, the countyseat, where a large crowd, anticipating the arrival of the prisoners, had congregated a the jail. The men were hurriedly plaoed in separate cells, and a guard will be placed over them. As is generally known, the men are . charged with robbing a farmer named Zacbariah Deputy, near here, of $3,000, some months since, for which three men, supposed to he the robbers, were sentenced for three years to the Southern prison. It is generally supposed that the men conrieted furnished the information that led to tbe arrest of Rice and his pals. Sheriff Byrne has been at Det roit three weeks, determined, if pos sible, to secure the men, who made a hard fight for their liberty by means of habeas corpus proceedings. Failing in this, they made a dash for liberty from the court-room of Judge Look, of Detroit, but were fina lly subdued, after an exciting and vicious struggle with the officers. The prisoners are all fine specimens of physical manhood, but with vicious countenances. Deputy Sheriff Huston said be did not care to talk .about tbe case, but that Sheriff Byrne had tbe right men, and Detroit was glad to be rid of them. There is a difference of opinion here as regards the action of Sheriff Byrne and the guilt of the men convicted at the last term of court Parker, Forbes and Kearns who had for their attorneys A. G. Smith, Jason B. Brown and Frank Brannaman. The men were prosecuted by D. H. Long, prosecutor, and Judge William K. Marshall, who are confident the right men are in prison. During the summer a stranger earns to the residence of "Zac" Deputy, in Jennings county, looking for a farm. He professed to be pleased with Deputy's place, and brought his father-in-law, so claimed, the next day. While riding down tbe road looking at the farm, a stranger rode up, who claimed to be a "Bible agent" In due time he produced some eards, and the farm buyers were coaxed to bet ou a card; they woo, and were paid large sums provided they could show a like amount Soon Zachariab, who bad been known to bet on fakir's games, won $3,000, which the Bible agent would pay as soon as the Deputy would show a like amount Deputy hurried to Seymour, seven miles with the ''Big man," borrowed the money at the bank, returned to the land buyers, and the three took the money and departed. Business Embarrassments. Evansville, Ind., Nov. 3. William Caldwell, tbe leading grocer of tbis city, filed an assignment to-day to Hon. C. A. Debruler for the benefit of bis creditors.

Boyish Imprudence and Carelessness Cause the Death of a Youth. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. , . Greensburg, Nov. & This morning Henry Clemens, Thomas Hughes and Wright, each about eighteen years old, started out hunting. When less than a mile from town young Clemens went ahead to stop some holes along the railroad to prevent the rabits from hiding. He then langhingly said: "I give you leave, meaning the other hoys might shoot at him. Young Hughes raised his rifle, loaded with a twenty-two caliber ball, as though to shoot, but lowered it again, saying he onght not to fire, but upon the banter being repeated, discharged his gun.

A circular of which the following is the substance has been issued: At its annual meeting, held in Indianapolis last May, the Indiana National Woman Suffrage Association announced that it would hold a convention in each of the thirteen Congressional districts of this State during the autumn and winter of 1887. Pursuant to this announcement the necessary arrangements have been made and the congressional district conventions will be held as follows, by Congressional districts: District No. One.... ..at Evansville. Nov. 4 and 5. District No. Two ..at Vincennes, Nov. 7 and 8. District No. Three.... at New Albany, Dec. 3. District No. Four.. ...at Madison, Deo. 1. District No. Five ...at Bloomington, Nov. 9.

District No. Ten at Ijogansport, Nov. 16 and 17. District No. Eleven.. .at Wabash, Nov. 21 and 22. District No. Twelve... at Fort Wayne.Nov. 21 and 22. District No. Thirteen.at La Porte, Nov. 25 and 26. The primary object in holding these conventions at this time is to organize the suffrage sentiment in every congressional district of the State in such a manner that it can be effectually used to influence the men who will represent Indiana in the Fiftieth Congress. The sixteenth amendment, which was brought to a vote in the United States Senate during the last session of tbe Forty-ninth Congress, wiU be brought before the Fiftieth Congress so soon as that body shall convene. Wherever elections are to be held it is the first duty of the advocates of Woman Suffrage to ascertain the opinions of candidates upon the question of the political enfranchisment of women, and to see that only men who favor this movement are elected to congressional seats. It is the next duty of the friends of progress to see that members who hold over are informed upon this question and also upon the sentiment concerning it in their respective communities. The National Woman Suffrage Association expects that the Fiftieth Congress will pass the sixteenth amendment to the federal Consitution. Miss Susan B. Anthony, Sirs. Zerelda Wallace and other able and effective speakers and organizers will assist the president of the association in these conventions.

William Young, who was arrested at Kokomo, Monday evening, for stealing $2 from Mrs. Doan Nichols, of this city, was bound over to court in the sum of $500 by 'Squire Eiler, this afternoon. The action of Mr. Eiler is a great surprise to the attorneys and those who heard the evidence, as Mrs. Nichols, who, it seems, was in love with Young, swore she gave him money time and again, and now alleges tbe money was stolen. Young bore a good reputation while a resident of this city, but in all probability he will eat turkey with Sheriff Maitlen during the holidays, as the grand jury does not convene until in February.

MATTERS AT THE CAPITAL

Contingencies Under Which a New Telegraph Company Will Be Organized. Tronble About Cancellation of Export Customs Bonds The Financial Operations of the Navy General Washington News. Special to the Indianapolis Journal, v Washington, Nov. 3. A gentleman who is intimately associated with George W. Childs and others, who, some time ago, made a feint toward the organization of a rival to the Western Union Telegraph Company, and who has frequently consulted with tbe parties who constructed the Southern Telegraph Company, says there is no doubt whatever that if Congress does not adopt postal telegraphy or pass an interstate telegraph law, there will be an opposition company organized early next summer; that a director in Gould's company told him only a short time before the absorption of the Baltimore & Ohio that the directory of tbe Western Union had come to the conclusion that a monopoly could not be maintained of the telegraph or any other institution. This gentleman further says that Gould is anxious to now dispose of the telegraph to the government, and that one of his purposes in taking in the Baltimore & Ohio was to get the whole thing within bis own grasp, so he could negotiate with the government. Gould believes the government should control the telegraph, but will not publicly say so. He will make enough to pay for the Baltimore & Ohio lines before the end of the current fiscal year by a raise in the tariffs and a reduction of operating expenses. Report of the Commissioner of Customs. Washington, Nov. 3. The annual report of the Commissioner of Customs, submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury to-day, shows that during th past fiscal year accounts were examined in his office involving $218,618,391 in receipts and $23,796,762 in disbursements. The commissioner says that there seems to be trouble at the port of New York in procuring the cancellation of export bonds, owing mainly to the indifference of exporters and sureties. This state of affairs, he Bays, is doubtless due to tbe fact that no suits are brought on these bonds, and also because of a belief that tbere can be no recovery on such bonds unless special damage be shown. He recommends that a trial suit be instituted to establish the validity of tbe law relating to the cancellation of export bonds, and suggests that in case tbe present law cannot be enforced it might be well to consider whether a statute of limitations as to such bonds might be passed, requiring at the expiration, say of three years from tbe date of tbe bond, that the cancellation should be made by the collector of customs in the absence of any evidence of special damage to the government.

The Rooms of the Chicago Club Badly Bamaeed by Fire and a Torrent of Water. Chicago. Nov. 3. It was nearly 4 o'clock thia morning when fire was discovered in the Chicago Club, in Monroe street, direel'.y opposite the ladies entrance to the Palmer Housa. By the time the first relay of engines had rattled up to the fire the flames bad spread throughout the fifth floor and were bursting from the windows on all aides, while signs of fire could be seen on the fourth floor. A general alarm was promptly turned in, and in fifteen minutes a score of engines, hook-acd-ladcer trucks and hose-carts thundered down the street and clattered up to the fire. A wild panic followed at the Palmer House. ' At the windows on Monroe street appeared a hundred frightened faces, peering into the streets, and at the sight of the steamers a rush for escape followed, under the impression that the hotel was on fire. Half-clad ladies and gentlemen tumbled out in the balls and shrieked wildly for help. All the bell-boys were promptly sent to tbe rooms of the guests, and with tba aid of tbe clerks succeeded in calming the panic, though many of the guests refused to return to their rooms until the hose-carts bad reeled up their hose and with other apparatus had smarted home. Half a dozen club members and as many women who are employed - about the club were asleep in the building at tbe time. They bad no warning of the flames until the firemen rushed into their apartments and pulled themout bodily. Tbe fire started on the fifth, floor;' in tbe kitchen, from a defective fine, it is supposed, or a carelessly smothered fire in tbe range. Leads of hose were run on all the high, buildings, entirely surrounding the building, and half a hundred streams of water poured into it from all the windows. A torrent of water poured down the stairway, cascaded down the elevator shaft, and soaked throuch floor after floor until the furniture and every thing else about the building was completely ruined. The first floor was devoted to the office, reading room and cafe. On the second floor were the library and card rooms, and on the third the sleeping rooms. The dining-room occupied the fourth floor, and the kitchen was immediately above it, in the mansard roof. The smoke from the burning building entered the Clifton House, adjoining on the east, and scores of guests SDrang out of bed and rushed in terror to tbe street, with tbe impression that their bote! was on fire. The Chicago Club building was erected about fifteen years ago at a cost of $131,000. Tbe fixtures and furniture cost about $25,000, and are a total loss, but fully insured. The damage to the building can cot be estimated at present, but it will be heavy. Besides tbis there were many valuable paintings in the rooms, which, no doubt, are utterly ruined. No lives were lost, ' Loss, $25,000; insurance, $60,000. . - Destructive Forest Fires. Poetia, -Ark., Nov. 3.
