Hoagland, president; Cornelius N. Hoagland, vice-president; and William Ziegler, secretary and treasurer. Each drew the nominal salary of $1,800. A year ago the Hoaelatid brothers offered to buy Ziegler out, but be refused to sell. The brothers then combined and left Zeigler ont in the cold and raised their own salaries to $2,500 a year. Another offer was then made to buy Ziegier's stocks but gain he refused: again the Hoaglands raised their own salaries, bat still Zieeler refuses to be frosen out The brothers say they will increase their salaries until the profits are wiped out and Ziegler forced to sell.

Smith and John Forbes, a prominent confidence man. ; sent from Seymour, were dis covered under hia armp-pits. Thompson was held, and with . Clark confessed that an escape was planned for to-day at the time when tbe convicts are allowed in the hall for shaving. The keys for the cells and outside doors were found with Clark, also drills hidden in the leg of his bed. The convicts in tended to overpower or kill the guards and then let themelves out. Two Louisville men, whose names are a secret, were to have a carriage in waiting for Clark, who was to assist them in cracking the safe of a Louisville bank as the price of their aid.

Two boarders in the house then made their appearance and forced Mrs. McDermott out of tbe house into the yard, where she was thrown upon the ground, the shreds of her clothing were ripped off, and with snow the fire was extinguished. There is scarce a spot on her body that is not frightfully burned. Uf hair and eve-brows she has not a vestige, and not until this morning was it thought that she could survive.

LOUISIANA REPUBLICANS. The Convention Completes Its Work and Adjourns Who the Candidates Are. New Orleans. La., Jan. 26. The Repub lican convention completed its labors about 1 o'clock this morning, and adjourned. Colonel James Lewis was elected as the fourth delegate at large. Governor Warmoth was not on the floor of tbe convention. He has been in poor health for some time, and yesterday afternoon was confined to his room. Colonel Frank Morey, in an interview last night, stated that a number of prominent Re publicans were with Mr. Minor until a late hour Tuesday night, using every argument to induce him to accept the first place on the Re publican ticket, but he declined to allow his name to be used, on the ground that the plant ing interests of himself and members of his family would require so much of his time that he could not possibly give proper attention to tbe duties of Governor. It was with great re luctance that Mr. Minor consented to take sec ond place on the ticket. The ticket may be described as follows: Mr. Minor, who i9 about forty-three years of age. is one of the most successful and wealthy sugar planters in tbe State. Mr. Patty, who is the only colored man on the ticket, is an attorney practicing law in St Mary's and adjacent parishes. He was born in St. Marys parish. He is a gra duate of Straight University and about thirty years old. Mr. Hero is a native of New Orleans and a well-known notary. Dur ing the war he was the major commanding tbe battery of the famous Washington Artillery in the army of Northern Virginia. Mr. r orsvthe is a native of Ireland and fifty years old. He is a lumberman and merchant, and was at one time a State Senator. Mr. Wyiey, aged about fifty, is a wealthy cotton planter, and has for eight years been an associate justice of the Supreme Court of Louisiana. Mr. Flanders is an -ex-Governor of Louisiana and an ex-mavor of New Orleans, and formerly wss the United States sub-treasurer at New Orleans. H. C. Minor, who was nominate! yesterday by tbe Republican State convention for the office of J-iteutenant-tjrovernor, stated to-day that ne would not under any considerations permit the use ot nis name on the ticket. -bx-Uovernor Flanders, who is on the ticket for the office of Superintendent of Public Education, will also d-riali-nA QAiAtsrlino tr fha cfafarnanta rf Tiic fvianrla "'"v-f a..w.M& vr P...W.1XVUVO wa. usi aasvMvo. j a ar . a. m tt- -v rrr ' a aispatcn irom v icstonrg says ouuga w. G. Wylie, of East Carroll Parish, La., was in : that city to-day. He stated that be would not accept the nomination for Attorney-general on tbe Republican ticket, and wonld not bo a candidate under any circumstances. The First congressional district convention yesterday adopted a preamble and resolutions denouncing J. ' Hale bypher tor assuming to represent the Republicans of Louisiana. He is declared, among other things, to be a non-resi dent. i Cleveland and Bill Factions Evenly Divided. : Special to the IndianaooMs Jurna. ' j Albany, N. Y., Jan. 26. Tbe Democratic State committee were in session for three hours ' and a balf to-night, and adjourned sine;' die without having made a choice of member ofUhe centra! committee to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Hubert O. Thompson. The names of Henry J. Mowry, supposed to represent the Cleveland presidential faction, and of Roswell P. Flower, understood to represent the Hill in terest, were presented. The calling of the roll revealed a close contest between the two elements. The vote stood 17 to 17. Twentyfive ballots were taken with- the same result, during which time motions to adjourn were lost. A recess was then taken for dinner. After recesa another ballot was taken with the same result. Mr. Grace then moved to adjourn, saying that everyone wno changed his vote now would ; oe sure to nave bis motives impugned. JUr. &nenan thoneht a few more-? ballots should be taken. and Mr. Grace withdrew hia motion. Two more ballots, with like results, were taken, and Mr. Spratt moved to adjourn, but withdrew tbe mo tion. After the thirtieth ballot a conference of the leaders of the two factions was held, after which Mr. Murphy moved that tbe committee adjourn sine die. This was carried with only two dissenting votes. The choice of successor to Mr. Thompson is, therefore, left to the national committee. ' 1 Eleventh, Michigan District. - Marquette. Mich., Jan. 26. The Republican congressional convention for the Eleventh district of Michigan succeeded in nominating Henry W. Seymour, of Sault Ste. Marie, on the HCth ballot. The nomination was made at 7:45 this evening, after a two-days' session. i Tbe result was attained by the transfer of ihe Marquette delegation to Seymour in the evening session of the convention. The delegations from the copper district counties voted for Hubbell without a brean from beginning to end. On the niaty-eightn ballot Hubbell had 30 and Brown 45 within one of necessary to a choice.

The Sun says: 1 tThe sugar trust gave another evidence of its pqwer. yesterday, wnen it ordered JHoiler. Siereek & Co. to close their refinery. One of the firm said that the shut-down would not occur until the raw sugar on hand had been used up. lot the meantime the firm notified its employes tor look for new jobs. This is the fourth sugar refinery that has been closed since the sugar trust was perfected in this city. The three others were the North River, the Oxnarde and the Qavemeyer. All are members ol tne trust neces sarily. It was learned that a movement is under way to build a gigantic refinery in Phila delphia, and the supposition in lower Wall street is that the new refinery will be used by tbe trust to club the recalcitrant Philadelphia refiners who now refuse to join the trust."!

LABOK INTERESTS.

Preliminary Steps Looking to Forfeiting of the Reading Company's Charter. Harkisburg, Jan. zu. ro-day a committee of the Knights of Labor, consisting of Edward Moore, Henry Bennett and Joseph Cabilt, ap peared before the Attorney-general and asked that a quo warranto be issued against the Phil adelphia & Reading Railroad Company with a view to a forfeiture of its charter. They said they came as private eitizens to lay before the department facts to prove that the railroad company has violated the State Constitution by engaging in the business of mining coaL They were asked if they had any petition or affidavit, and replied in the negative, but said they would at once make one to the effect that they have positive knowledge that the Reading Railroad Company and the Reading Coal and Iron Com pany are the same, and the debts of one are paid by the other. It being explained by the Attorney-general that it is a rule of the denartment to hear both sides before granting a writ ot quo warranto, it was decided to hear the ar gument next Thursday. In the meantime the petitioners were instructed to serve notice on as many of the company's officers aa possible. The committee claims to have abundant facta to prove the company a violation of the Constitu tion. Read-no. Jan. 26. The partial resumption of operations at a lew mines in the Schuvlkill re gion has yet bad no visible effect on tbe coal shipments, wnich are as meager as at any time within the past two weeks, averaging only fifty to seventy cars a day. All tbe coal that is be ing mined by the men who have just resumed work is either reserved by the company for its own use or sold in tbe immediate vicinity of the collieries. bhoasdoah. r-a., Jan. 6.

The Cameron and Luke Fidler collieries, where the employes have been on strike since last September, will be put in shape to resume operations. To-morrow about 400 men will be put to work, making nec essary repairs of the damage done by the long idleness on tne mines, it will require about three weeks to put the collieries in working or der. This is the first break in the strike which was inaugurated in connection with the Lehigh strike. It is understood that the miners will resume work at the wages against which they struck. . Labor and Industrial Motes. Philadelphia Record. Four hundred men are mining granite in two quarries in (.teorgia. They cut on an average 30,000 blocks a day, which is equal to 1,500 square yards. About 25,000 square yards of this granite will be used in Atxinta. The numerous projections of pipe lines are leading to inquiries for pipe iron. A New York report states that 25,000 tons of iron have re cently been sold to pipe manufacturers. The guess is probably not far out of tbe way. - A new combination last has just been invented by a Lyun manufacturer, in which the block of the last can be withdrawn without unbuttoning the upper. It is a great economy in time and money, and the concern making it is overrun with orders. The spirit of trade organization is extending into every channel. Some twenty representatives of threshing-machine manufacturing establishments between Ohio and Wisconsin have organized an association to prevent catting of prices. A good many trade organizations have left tbe Knights and gone into the Federation of Labor because of its economic management. Unless the coot of Knights of Labor government shall be reduced and salaries lowered a great many men and organizations will be driven into the Federation. The painting trade is creating a demand for a larger cumber of first-class painters. Greater skill is wanted. This fact is weakening tbe spirit of unionism in some quarters, because excellent workmen find that they can be better paid for special work than by accepting standard union wages. It is said that a syndicate of four men who have (25,000,000 invested in manufacturing establishments, namely. Conger, Raymonds, Perkina and Barber, the latter of match-making fame, is now examining the natural-gas fields of Ohio and Indiana. . They are credited with the intention of locating important manufacturing enterprises. . A real estate company composed of Chattanooga and Northern capitalists, with a capital of $2,000,000 has purchased 2,000,000 acres of land near that city, and has expended $50,000 on improving it. It is laid out in town-lots, and will net the owners at least $5,000,000 when sold. Manufacturing enterprises are springing no to work wood, mine coal and develop minerals of various kinds. A Youngstown firm has the contract for making thirty-five tubes, each twenty-five feet long and sixteen inches in diameter, which will have a strength of 2.000 pounds to the square inch, and will be used to convey compressed air to a new gun, which, it has been stated, will be sixty feet long. It will throw a dynamite cartridge accurately seven miles, if all this be true. The Cramps have the contract for tbe boat. Wonderful reports come from Arkansas about the large supplies of ore for every purpose. Fifty mines of manganese lie in proximity. Two roads are being built through some of the valuable mineral land, and it is expected that it will soon sell for fire times its cost. An enthusiastic writer says the rugged mountain sides will soon be dotted with towns and vil lages, with thrifty people and new enterprises, and the roar of the torrent will sound in unison with the locomotive, the pioneer of development and the great civilizer. A few years ago mechanics cared very little about winter work of any kind. They rather looked forward with pleasure to the prospects of a long rest. Things have been changing recently, and the tendency now is to secure all the winter work possible. One reason is there are more building and loan associations, more in surance societies, more lodges and more organizations of one kind or another. . all of which must be kept up. Besides, there is an increasing amount of worn tbat has heretofore been done m summer, ihe cost or labor in a good many vocations is less in winter than it is in summer. owing to the small amount to be done and the greater number seeking it Business Embarrassments. " Chicago. Jan. 26. The hardware house of Ignatius M. Pribyl, a heavy jobber in guns and cutlery, was closed by the sheriff to-day on a confession or Judgment tor. $48,392 in favor of Alanson Paxton, the American partner of Alfred Field & Co.. of New York and London. The total liabilities of Mr. Pribyl are thought to be between $90,000 and $100,000. The major portion of the indebtedness is to New York bouses. Alfred Field & Co. have for some time been backing Mr. Pribyl with stock and money, but of late the business has been unsatisfactory because of tbe illness of Pribyl and his absence in Colorado. His business methods, too, are said not to have been abreast of the times. The assets are nominally $75,000. Cincinnati, Jan. 26.

O., Jan. 26 An extensive and systematic coal-steal has oeeo discovered at Batnbridge, Ross eoonty, Ohio, a small towa on the Ohio Southern railroad. A car-load of coal

would at times disappear in a single night, and the peculations became so extensive tbat the railroad company employed detectives to unearth tbe tnieves. Tbe result has been tne arrest of fifteen prominent eitizens of Bainbridge, inclnding the marshal, hotel proprietor and a Presbyterian preacher. Detectives say that balf the citizens of the town are implicated in the steal. Tbe peculations amount to many hundreds of dollars, and tbe extent of them may be imagined when it is known that, although coal is universally used in Bainbridge, not a single ear-load has been billed to a resident of that place this winter.

Boston Special in Philadlphla Press. The Rev. Justin D. Fulton a new book, "Wby Priests Should Wed," will be issued on Monday. It is so scandalous in cnaracter tbat the law is likely to be invoked to prevent its sale. Rev. Mr. Fulton is a Baptist clergyman of unim peachable character and a successful writer. Three months ago he placed the manuscript of this book in the hands or Kand, Avery & t-o. Tbey did not immediately read it, as they sup posed it was of the same character as his earlier worK. W hen. however, the first chapters were given out to the printers, its scandalous nature at once became known; and severel women em ployed in tbe booK department of the firm re fused to work upon it. Kane, Avery & Co. then declined to publish it or to return the manuscript. Rev. Mr. Ful ton urged tbat tbe book demanded the reform of a terrible evil, and was therefore a moral pub lication. He offered to submit tbe copy to a committee, of wbieh Mr. Anthony Comstock, of New York, should be one. The difficulty about the publication was finally overcome, the author, it is said, guaranteeing the printers against loss from prosecution or other causes. The first copy struck from tbe press was ex hibited in a store on Washington street to-day. The cover is luridly printed and illustrat ed with tbefigure of a priest, a wo man and the devil. , Xsinetenthsol the contents of the book is wholly un fit for publication. It is an onslaught upon the Holy Catholic Church through its priests, and contains accounts of alleged offenses against morality committed by them under the protec tion of the church. To support tbe assertion that "all priests should marry.1 the Rev. Mr. Fulton has collected scandals which have been revival at intervals oy tne enemies or tne enure for tbe past two centuries. Nearly all are apparently based upon vague and sensational rumors wbieh tbe author seems to have made no effort to verify, even if such verification were possible. AU tbe shocking details or such re ports are given, however, with absolute freedom, and Rev. Mr. Fulton does not seem to question tbeir truth. To the recountai ot some of these alleged iniquities, tne author aaas sucn general statements as this: 'This is but a specimen or nunareas or letters which reveal tbe extent of this iniquity, about which the American people know so little and care less. 'In Lowell, Mass., in Biddeford, - Me., In Charlestown, Mass., women who have fled Rome pronounces her iniquities worse tban we have painted them, and claim that the half has not been told. "The conduct of priests in nunneries ought to be investigated. Nunneries should be examined, and every nun should be permitted to see a representative of the State alone, and apart rom the surveillance or her Keepers or her com panions, once a year, cecause mis was insisted on in Germany, the convent system was aban doned. It might b so here. "The theory that a woman may obey the priest. and. without sin, and that she can never be called to account by God for any actions she may have performed to please him, compels millions to go wrong." The book gives a "History ot tne ngnt with celibacv" comprising twenty-six pages, and then follows copious extracts from the book "Popish Nunneries," by William Hogan; "Master key to Popery," by Rev, A. Gavin, and other works. There a.-e manv reasons why priests shoold wed. They are men; and uod says, it is not well for man to be alone.' 'Marriage is honor able for all' for priests, as well as for ministers of tbe gospel, or other men. The vow of celibacy is proven to oe deceptive and vain. History with trumpet tones aeciares tnat priests do nob keep the vow. These assertions are often repeated and with each repetition the reverend author tells a dif ferent story, each more shocking than the last, to illustrate his point. A chapter on "Convents" contains modern versions ot stones which were printed in England as long ago as Charles li s day, and winch have been repeated in lampoons and attacks on the church at intervals ever since. Tbe last chapter of the boon Rev. Dr. Fulton devotes to the "Confessional." Tbe pith of his views may be gathered from one paragraph, in which he sums up: "What is bad for tbe priest is terrible for the women. .Nothing can be worse, nothing more corrupting, than the law which forces the female to tell her thoughts, desires, and most secret feelings and actions to an unmarried priest. American Catholic women deserve emancipation from this thraldom. The confessional is a school of pollution. Let it be closed. It is not more a necessity in lioman Catholic thau in a Baptist church. Acquaint the law-makers of the land with the influences imperilling the life of woman through the confessional, and they would by the most stringent laws prohibit auricular confession as a crime against society. The best remedy is for tbe priests to marry. Then the wifely influence would make short work of a priest being -closeted hour alter hour with women, conversing on topics which could not be tolerated before a third person, and which disgraces and degrades those who thus lay siege to and plot the ruin of tbe soul." Walt Whitman's "Lieaves or lirass" ana tne Pall Mall Gazette's "Modern Babylon" exposure were prohibited from sale in Massachusetts, it is a question wnetner tne attorney general ot the State will not be compelled to take action against this new work of home production, al though it comes from the 'pen of a successful and popular preacher, and from the press of a widely-known publisher. NATD RAL GAS ON RAILROADS. It Will Supplant Coal A. Locomotive Can be Bun for SO Cents a Bay. Ennia Citr Times. Within the cast nine months more improve ments have been mads in railroad equipment than m any like period in the history of tbe country. Perhaps the most dariog one now being attempted is the utilizing of natural gaa as fuel for engines, and to furnish light and heat for tbe cars. Several roaster mechanics in the country hold that this product can be confined and used at will, and tbe master mechanic of the Fort Wayne, Cincinnati and Louisville road has demonstrated his belief so plainly that the omciala of that line nave placed at bis command all tbe money, men and material necessary to a thorough test. The route of that road is through the heart of the immense gas regions of Indiana, many or tbe wells being of great pres sure, and flowing from 3,000,000 to 12,000,000 cubic feet every twenty-four hours. several weeks ago tbe master mechanic ana superintendent had constructed a wrought-iron cylinder, eigbteen feet long and two feet in diameter, with heavv ends screwed in. The cylinder was subjected to tbe most critical and scientific tests, and was provided witn gauges to register the pressure. It was placed on board a car and transported to Montpelier, Ind., where there are located two stront gas wens. The cylinder was attached to one of them, which had a rock pressure ot 450 pounds to the square inch. When the cas was turned on the gauge snowed that it was f 'tit in less than one minute. The tanK was then loaded on the cars and taken to the shoos at Fort Wayne. Here it was attached to tbe usual natural gaa . burning apparatus with a "rernlator" tbat controlled the enormous pressure of the gaa ao that it flowed out iu a steady, regular currtut of one and &

The gauge showed that the gas lost but little of its pressure, and it supplied light in the burners in the shops for several hours, besides beating one large stove and one forge. So much of a success was the first test that others have been made with larger cylinder and the gas transported each time a distance of thirty-eight miie. The officials and experts are so well satisfied with the experiment that orders have been icsued to equip the road engines with tanks, and the workingmen in the shops are now making the necessary changes. Large steel tanks or cylinders somewhat after the pattern of the Standard Oil Company's cars are being made, and these will be attached to the engine in the rear of the tender. They will have a capacity equal to as as many thousand cubic leet of gas as will represent enough ot coal to make a trip over the road, which is about 110 miles in length. The attachment to the fire box of tbe engine and stoves in the cars will be by means of a pipe leading' from the tank, and will be regulated by a hand screw. The cost is exceedingly small, as an engine can be supplied for about twenty cents a day. The experiments made at Fort w ayn have been watched by expert mechanics employed by tbe Erie and Pennsylvania companies, and these systems will also commence tbe construction of gas tanks for the same pnrpose. In case the tests made by these companies are successful, it will only be a short time until the full probj lem on railways is solved. Any Trifle for an Excuse. Burdette, in Brooklyn Eg'e.

It has been said that Mr. John M. Kelly, who owns a large tract of marsh land near Burr Oak, Mich., has "struck it rich" by raising peppermint. The past season he has grown some thirty acres of mint, from which was distilled over 700 pounds of oil. Tbe land on which the mint was raised bad before been of little value, but now produces as much profit a? any in tbe township. There are but few localities in the country (Wayne county. New York, taking tbe lead) where peppermint is marsh-grown, and the product of the crop (oil) usually commands very remunerative prices.
