" Xaselle and the Rebellion Records. Washington, April 5. Representative Grosvenor was before the House sub-committee on military afTairs to-day to anawer a statement msde by Col. Laselle, in charge of the rebellion records, regarding the publication of a

portion of the appendix to the last volume. Gen. Grosvenor testified that he obtained bis copy of the volume, by the usual method, from the government printing office. He never furnished the newspaper men or any body else either a sheet or extra proof, or authorized any publication connected with it . He had never written to the newspapers or suggested the writing of a word for tbem upon the subject. The objection he had to Colonel Laselle's testimony was that it looked as if he (Grosvenor) h ad been using his official position to give information to the newspapers. Col. Laselle asked Gen. Grosvenor if be did not know that Gen. Boynton bad a teadlly vilified bim (Laselle) in the press ', since be had been here, and the General rei pit ed that he did not know anything about it. The committee then asked if the witness did not know that bis (Liaelle 8) ebiel cleric nad a grievance, and if the witness bad not obtained information from bim concerning the matters in question. Gen. Grosvenor said he had seen the chief clerk but once this winter, and that his information was obtained from the newspapers. Indiana Pensions.

Fleet Wolf and Honnd-that-bays, Chippeway Indians, are in the city and called to see the President yesterday afternoon, in regard to some land claims they have pending in the department. Mr. Cleveland received them very cordially and talked to them at length. The Indians ,nse the English language very well, and when they arose to leave they looked anxiously about the room for the sideboard, which, not being in sight, moved eae of tbem to suggest that they sometimes took fire-water with government officers. The President smiled and ordered the doorkeeper to .admit no one for a few minutes. Then he (walked into a side room and got a demijohn of whisky and three glasses; when they were wellfilled they touched glasses and drank heartily. The Indians are solid for President Cleveland nd a second term. It is believed that all the Indians who visit Washington hereafter will call upon the President and inquire for that domijohn.

Calkins started to Indianapolis, to-nigbt, having completed his business before the Supreme Court. Mr. and Mrs. Craig, late of Greenville, O., entertained quite a number of friends to-night, and among them were several Ohioan3 and Indianians. Miss Myla Charles, daughter of Mrs. Emily Thornton Charles,, has been confined to the house for several days by illness. A post-office has been established at Calvertvillo, Greene county, and John O. Calvert appoirted postmaster. Mrs. McCulloch and Miss Mary McCulloch, wife and daughter of ex-Secretary McCulloch, had a charming reception yesterday afternoon. Tbey were assisted by Mrs, McCulloch's niece, Mrs. Talbott, of Lafayette, who arrived a few days ago. Mrs. McCulloch wore a Dolly Varden dress of pale flowered silk, and a cap that was made for ber golden wedding breakfast anniversary. Miss McCulloch, in a Greek dress of white cloth, served tea in a second drawingroom that was lighted by a pink-shaded fairy lamp. The site of the postofSce at St Joseph's Hill, Floyd county, has been changed into Clark eonnty. The Comptroller of the Currency has authorized the organization of the German National Bank of Yineennes, with a capital of $100,000. George R, Alsop is cashier. Maj.-Geo. Alfred H. Terry was placed on the retired list of the army to day. This is in accordance with the report of the army retiring board, of which Major-general Scbofleld is president. The report was submitted by the jgeerotary of war to the President to-day, and was immediately approved. Senator Morgan appeared before the Senate commerce committer, this morning, and vigorously opposed the csafirmation of the nomination of Jared L. Rathbone as consul-general at Paris. Eleven of the thirteen members composing tbe committee were present, and, after Mr. Morgan's argument, a vote was taken, and nine Senators voted for a favorable report on the nomination and two adversely. The United States attorney for the Northern district of Texas has informed the Secretary of the Interior that Jesse Lee Hall, ex-agent of tbe Kiowa. Comanche and Wichita Indians in tbe Indian Territory, bas been indicted by the grand jory sitting at Graham. Tex., upon the charge of embezzling $14,000 belonging to tbe United States. Hall was appointed' agent in July, 1883. Oil and Gm Deals Concluded. Detroit. Mieb., April 5. -The big oil and gas deals, for which negotiations have ben going on for several weeks for the control of the Hall patent in thn United States, owned bv tbe International Oil and the International Gas Company, were completed to-day and the contracts are now in possession of the Toledo syndicate. The contract gives the syndicate control of the Hall process under payment of a certain royalty and under condition that tbey treat 5.000 barrels per diem for a certain time; then increase to 10.000 barrels for another period, after which the minimum will be 15.000 barrels per diem. Te do this the syndicate will at once proceed to build good-sized refinery at Lima, Ohio, soother at Fiudiay, and finally a mammoth eoncern at Toledo. The gas deal was completed oa a different basis, although tbe syndicate getting tne control of it is practically the same as the other, and the gas company owning the Hail ira process is the same as the oil company. The contracts in this case give the sru aicate the control of and right to use the Hall process in the United States, aod the latter agrees to pay to the company a certain percentage of the receipts.

WORKING UP A NEW STKIKE

Efforts to Make Terms with Powderly and Be;iii Another strike on the "Q." Earaors that the Brakemen and Yardmen Are " Preparing to Desert their Posts The At tempt to Swamp the Barlinffton Fail&, Chicago, April 5. Referring to the reported deal between tbe Brotherhood of Engineers and Firemen and General Master Workman Pow derly , of the Knights of Labor, by which all Knights in the employ of the Chioago, Burling' ton & Quincy road were to be called out, the Chioago Times says this morning: ""The proposition is still pending, and a decision may not be reached for some davs yet. Tbe engineers, firemen and switchmen desire Mr. Powderly to eall out the. Knights of Labor who bave taken their places on the Burlington. And, if it should become necessary, also the train and section hands as far as they are Knights of Labor. In short, they want bim to make the strike official with the Knights of Labor. All the men who struck under this arrangement are to be supported by the Brotherhoods. In return tbe engineers, firemen and switchmen will obligate themselves to stand by the Knights of Labor on other roads if it should become necessary. This Mr. Powderly may agree to do, and probably will, as far as those men are concerned who took the places of the strikers, if be will exercise any authority over tbem. These propositions rest upon the condition that the engineers, firemea and switchmen are acting in concert. Such a combination is in existence. The switchmen have been promised that iz tbey would strike on the the engineers and firemen would assist them on other roads when tbey had any just grievances. This refers especially to the Lake Shore, where the switchmen want to compel the employment or union men in place or tnose wno toot tne places of the striking switchmen in 1886. But this effort is not to be made until after the trouble with the Burlington is settled. It is not at all improbable that tbe engineers and firemen will amalgamate permanently." The quietude which followed the attempt to boycott tbe Burlington cars was rudely broken to-day by a rumor which gained credence among tbe more radical of the Burlington's ex-employes, that the brakemen of the road, in conjunction with such yardmen of the "Q" as are known to he loyal to the Brotherhood and the switchmen's union, were preparing for a shut-down along the whole line. They contended that the imnotency of tbe attempt of the switchmen in bringing the "Q to terms resulted from a lack of concerted action in that the men went out only here and there, and that with the aid of those who remained with the company the Burlington soon had its road in running order again. 'I don't know anything abont it," said Chairman Hoge, "and if there is anything cf tbe kind brewing it is not with the Brotherhoods' consent. We are going along in the way heretofore followed. We know the Burlington is killing and maiming people through the agency of its incompetent engineers, and that freight and passenger engines are being wrecked or burned out every. day. When they get tired of this they will probably see that they can't do without the Brotherhood," and Mr. Hoge turned with evident satisfaction to a lengthy letter f rem engineer Frazier, of Atchison, Kan., chronicling a wrack at Humboldt, Neb.; in which a conductor, brakeman and two traveling men were maimed. The letter gives the numbers of nearly a dozen engines that bave been wrecked to a greater or less extent in tbe seryice at Atchison. The damage alone to engines at Atchison is estimated variously from $10,000 to $12,000. The attempt to swamp the Burlington with business at Chicago has not proved a success. Paul Morton, speaking for the company, said to-day: "We don't propose to get swamped, for, when freight comes in too big quantities for us to manage, "we just decline to receive it. You need not fear that. " "What do you think of thj talk that the brakemen. section men and other union organizations mean to go out?" "Don't believe it If they had an v such intention they would have done so bbore the attempted general strike. I think they are all loyal men." Mr. Morton announced that cn next Sunday they would put on their fast trains, the Burlington's No. 1 (westward), and No. 2 (eastward), which run between Chicago and Denver. Further testimony was taken to-day before the State Railroad and Warehouse Commission, in tbe matter of the alleged incompetency of men in charge of the engines on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. There was a good deal of sparring between opposing counsel, and some of the testimony in behalf of the new engineers was greeted with derisive laughter from the strikers who filled the room. Several of the new engineers were placed on the stand, testifying to what experience they had when assigned to their present places. It appeared that all had knowledge of the road and of tbe rules governing engineers, but none were possessed of either practical or theoretical knowledge of running an engine. L. E. Johnson, snperintendent of the St. Louis division, testified that he had known many of the new men for a loig time. He regarded them all as entirely competent. They were sober and trustworthy. The accidents for March were 25 per cent;, less in number and 6o per cent, less in valm than for February, while the business was 75 per cent, of that handled during February. 1 This morning a detail of 100 city police taken from the different precincts were marched to Desplaines station and instructed to relieve the Pinkerton guards that have been keeping watch over tbe property of the Burlington road. From to-day forward the blue coats will have full charge of the "Q" road in this city, and are to protect it until the road signifies that it no longer needs protection. James Derry, a night switchman ' in the em.ploy of the Northwestern road, is locked up charged with 'assault with intent to kill. Yesterday afternoon he assaulted a PinKerton watchman in the Burlington yards, and drawing a revolver threatened to shoot bim. Tbe approach of other officers frightened Derry away. Last evening he stood behind a telegraph pole at Twentieth and Brown streets and fired two shots at the cab of a Burlington switch engine which was passing. The bullets shattered the windows of the cab, but fortunately did not strike the engineer or fireman. The fireman returned a shot at Derry, who then ran away. He was arrested soon after by the eity police. Disruption of a Once-Powarfal Body. Chicago, April 5. If the disruption of the trades assembly is not already complete, it will be when the returns are all in at the next regular meeting. The initial step toward the dismemberment of what was once a powerful central labor organization was taken more than a month ago, when Richard Powers made his vigorous attack on the radical element, and tbe action was followed up by the withdrawal of tbe Seamen's Union. Since then one conservative assembly after another baa dropped out No wholesale withdrawal of assemblies occurred, however, until last night. At that time D. A. 24, K. of L., embracing about thirty assemblies, resolved, 'almost without a dissenting voice, to withdraw its delegates from the trade's assembly. The fsw remaining Knights of Labor assembles which are comprised in D. A. 57 will soon follow suit. A leading member of D. A. 24 said to-day: "The great mass of laboring men in Chicago ara tired of Morgan and socialistic rule." - The Shut-Down of the Carnngie Works. NjewYork, April 5. Andrew Carnegie says the shut-down at his Pittsburg wcrks affects only one of his seven establishments, namely, the stel rail mill and blast fornacs. The report that he bad ordered a general shut down on account of the refusal of tbe men to accept his sliding seala is erroneous. He says out of three thousand men in the steel rail works referred to, only five hundred high-priced men, namely,, the Knights of Labor, objeet to the scale. lie expeets the others to eventually accept it. Fotherlnghatu on tbe Stand. St. Louis, April 5.-In the Fotheringhem damage suit against the Adams Express Company, to-day, the plaintiff himself was tha principal witness. He gave a minute description of tbe whole affair, and especially entered into every detail of the hour or more that be spent with tbe robber on tbe car. He was sent back time and again over his story by his attorney, so that every point and circumstance in the case might be brought out and clearly nnderetood. He told bow be admitted the roober to bis car on a written order purporting to be, and as he believed it to be, from J. B. Barrett, bis superior cfSeei, set bim to work, aa directed by the order, how he was, later on, suddenly eonfronted by the man, disarmed, compelled to look down the muzzle of a revolver, imd was finally bound to the iron safe in tbe car. Tbe dec notion was grapbie and tbe seen treat! y heightened and intensified by the witness illustrating ,

how he was handled and lashed to his safe, the safe having been brought into the court-room for that purpose. His return to St. Louis and his report of the matter to Superintendent Damsel were given in the same detail, and tbe witness added that in his statements to newspaper men he did not tell his foil story because be was instructed by the datestives to leave certain parts out, one of which was the offer to him by the robbar of $10,000 if he would not aid the officers in his capture or would give a false description of him. : - SOUTHERN INDIANA TEACHERS. The Most Successful Meeting Eyer Held Topics Discussed at Yesterday's Sessions.

Special to the Indianapolis JournalColumbus, Ind., April 5. Tbe Southern Indiana Teachers' Association convened in this city last evening. The attendance is very large, and the session is pronounced the most successful of any ever held. It was opened with an address of welcome by Mayor" Spencer, followed by the annual address of Dr. J. H. Martin, of Madison, which was eloquent and pointed. He said that the perpetuity of republics depends on tbe intelligence and virtue of the people, and, to inculcate these cardinal principles, common schools were established. Intelligence and morality should keen pace with the growth of population. It requires more sd.-un aod virtue to govern a nation of 50,000 000 or 100.000,000 than one of 5,000,000. The public schools must be a promoter of intelligence, tat how far shall they go? If a little learning is a good thing, more is better; hi ?h schools should be sustained, and tie State has a right to levy taxes to sustain then:, if it can tax for educational purposes at all. Tbey must tech morality; intelligence must be based on morality. Human wisdom and human laws cannot furnish the morality required. It must be based on the Bible, on the principles of Christianity. Such a morality will kill anarchy and socialism. Tbey must teach tbe dignity of labor. Educated young persons usually seek the professions, or something that does not require manual labor, under the impression that it is degrading. All honest and necessary labor is noble. The (blacksmith who honestly toils at bis forge is as honorably engaged &s tbe man who stands in tbe pulpit. There is a false publie sentiment on this subject, and it is tbe work of tbe schools to educate it and dignify labor, and to this end there should be morn industrial schools, and every child should betanght to earn a living. They should teach patriotism. The Nation is approaching a great crisis. Anarchy, Socialism and intemperance are at tbe front doing their pernicious work; hordes of foreign immigrants are pouring in on us; many of them ignorant and vicious, . knowing nothing of our form of government and caring nothing, tbey form a dangerous element, morally and politically. The question is, shall they be Americanized or shall this country be foreignized? Immigration must be restricted, and the common sebools must make Americans of all pupils. Every child must go out from the schools with a loyalty to country only second to loyalty to God. This can be done by precept and example, and largely by the use of patriotic literature, acclamations, ' songs, etc., which should oe more generally used. A greater trial ii commencing than that of 1S61. Some time when there is a great financial crisis, afailure of crops, or something that will stop tbe wheels of manufacture and commerce, when the country is filled with idle men, out of employment and out . of bread, when the doctrines of socialism and anarchy have gained many adherents, when unprotected wealth stands in the presence of idle and desperate men, then the great crisis in the life of the republic will come, and it is the work of the common schools to instill such a spirit of patriotism in the minds of the rising generation as will enable tbem to successfully meet this danger when it does come. The session opened again at 9:15 A. M. The first paper on the programme was "The Teacher's Greatest Hindrances and Their Remedies," by E. H. Butler, of Kushville, but that gentleman was ill, and tbe subject was discussed informally by Professors EL E. Smith, Churchill, Craig and Marble, which proved to be very entertaining and instructive. "Latin in the High School" was a paper by Prof J. H. T. Main, of Moores Hill. He believed in teaching Latin in the schools; it secured a good mental training, assisted in the proper understanding of English and of general education in many ways. The criticisms of classics is not against the classics but tbe teacher of the same. W. P. Shannon, of Greensburg, led the dis cussion, agreeing in the main with the paper. Every lesson in Latin should be one in English. It develops the memory, reasoning faculties and the power of reproduction. "How to Cultivate a Taste for Good Literature" was the subject of a most excellent paper, by Miss Kittie E. Palmer, of Franklin. The good seed of tbe taste for good literature should be sown and cultivated, while the bad seed should be rooted out. Text books should be standard. More attention should be paid to reading. Some books are written for instruction; others to please. In poetry, that should be brought out that makes the production literature. Analyze easy poems in the grades, then in the high school or college; go on to the works of standard authors. Teach the reading of principal governmental events in tbe newspaper; that history is part politics and politics is present history. Friday afternoon exercises are excellent. Teach children to discriminate between the healthful and unbealthful state which the reading of a book or paper leaves the mind. Read books that illustrate daily events and a pure life. Some books are not to be" read, but read in, and one must not be discouraged at a failure to grasp tbe full meaning. We should reach upward to the full measure ef our ability. This was followed by a pretty general discussion, particular attention being directed to the impure literature children are permitted to read. F. L. Morse, of Hanover, read a paper on "The Class and the Individual." It was an earnest aod able plea in favor of developing the individual characteristics of each pupil, and an earnest protest against the machine methods so generally in use, which swallow up the individual in tbe class, dwarfs tbe growth, destroys the independence and manhood of the pupiL Dr. Stott, of Franklin, discussed "Instruction in Crimes," ureing the great necessity of all youth being made acquainted with tbe prin-, ciples of government, and showing how it can be done. It can be by connecting and enlarging on the various reading lessons and history; also, time can i taken for teaching some small elementary work on the subject, and many special occasions or events can De taken advantage to impress certain , principles on the pupils. L. H. Jones, superintendent of tbe Indianapolis schools, spoke of "Written Examinations as a Basis of Promotion." He would not make them the sole basis, hut tbe principal one, to be supplemented by the knowledgejand advice of ' the teacher. He believed in written examinations as a means of discipline and test of knowledge of the pupil; also, as an indication to tbe superintendent as to the kind of teaching they had received. Tbey must, however, be conducted in a rational manner, not merely a routine or machine operation. E. E. Stevenson, of Rising Sun, led "the discussion and took an opposite view. He believed that it led to many abuses; that in time the teachera and pnpils came to make it an end rather than a means; that the teacher who bad charge of a pupil for a year knew best whether promotion was deserved, and her knowledge' should decide the matter. This evening Prof. Jno. M. Coulter, of Crawfordsville, delivered a very entertaining lecture on "Our National Park," w .-ch wasghighly enjoyed by a large audience oi teachers and citizens. The session will close to-morrow afternoon. - A Fiendishly Cruel Roy. Cincinnati, April 5. At Industry, a few miles down the Ohio river from the city, bas been discovered a colored boy with the most fiendish propensities. His mother goes out to wash and leaves her children in care of a girl thirteen years old. Tbe charge consists of a boy between five and six years and twins, ten months old. On Tuesday the girl left the house for a short time, and on returning found tbe twins screaming in pain, the boy with a cut on his bead begging ber to drown bim, and the tove turned over. The boy had upset the stove and was hurt by its falling, but it was found that he had deliberately broken both thighs of one of tbe babes, and a thigh and an arm of the other. Every effort to get him to tell the story cf his cruelty failed. Arrested for Offering m Hog-as Check. Pittsburg, April 5. Shortly after 2 o'clock to-day officer McKelvey arrested E. E. Kline, of Brooklyn, for attempting to pass a bogus check for $1,000 on the Diamond National Bank. Kline cslled at tbe tank and deposited tbe check and said be would be in to-morrow. i He then went to Seidel's jewelry store and tried to buy goods on tbe strength of this check. The check was on the Sprague National Bank of Brooklyn. N. K. Smith, cashier of that bank, notified Cashier Seully..ot the Diamond Bank, by telegraph that the cheek was boeas. Kline is said to be a very artful swindler, having worked in otber cities. f As the master, so ia the servant. ; As your brains are, so ia your body.

BASE-BALL AND KACE C0UBSE

The Clev elands and the Local Team Are to Give the First Game otthe Season. Exhibition Contests Elsewhere Which Promise Good Playing When the Regular Serie3 BeginNew Orleans RacesOther Sports. The base-ball season in this city will open today with a game between Indianapolis and Cleveland. The rain yesterday will not affect tbe ground, although it may the weather. The Cleveland team will arrive this morning from Columbus, and will stop at the Grand Hotel. There are three ex-league players in the team Snyder, Hotaling and Stemmeyer. The team has been strengthened since last season by the addition of Albert at short, Faatz at first base, and one or two pitchers. In McKean, who last year played snort-stop, and is now working in left field, tbe club has one of tbe cleverest young players in the profession, and Gilks, a young pitcher, and Zimmer, a catcher, are also men of fine promise. The team is managed by Williams, at one time secretary of the American Association, and one of tbe brightest aod most popular man in the profession. It depends on the weather as to who will pitch for the home club. Moffet, whose arm is perfectly well, will pitch if the weather should be unusually cold. Otherwise, the two teams will probably play as follows: Indianapolis Buckley, c; Shreve, p.; Esterbrook, 1 b.; Baasett, 2 b.; Denny, 3 b.s Glasscock, a. "a.; fieery L f.; Hines, c f.; Shomberg, r. f. Cleveland Zimmer, C; Gilks, p.; Faatz, 1 b.j Strieker, 2 b.; MeGlone, 3 b.; Albert, a. s.; McKean, L .; Hotaling, o. t.; Hogan, r. f. The play will be called a 3 o'clock.

The Detroits and St. Louis Browns play in Cincinnati to-day. It is said that Pittsburg has sold Barkley to tbe Kansas City club for $2,000. Esterbrook made his start in the profession with the Cleveland club several years ago. Leonard Sowders, tbe father of the ball players by that name, is lying at the point of death at his home in this city. . Cleveland has five batteries Crowell or Mor rison and Goodfellow, Stem my er or Oberlander and Snyder, and Gilks and Zimmer. Manager Morrill, of the Bostons, has decided to try Nash at second base. The infield will be: Morrili first, Nash second, Sutton third, and Wise short stop. Gecrge Myers attached his name to a contract last night, and now he is a full-fledged Hoosier for another year. His says his hands are in condition for him to go immediately to work. The St. Paul club, which is to play here on Monday, was defeated by Cincinnati on Wednesday by a score of only 7 to 6 in eleven innings, and Cincinnati had her crack pitcher, Elmer Smith, in the box. Tbe home team was out practicing yesterday in new blue uniforms the kind that they are to wear away from borne during the championship season. It is very pretty and will probably be worn to-day. George Leitner, who pitched a part of the season with the Indianapolis team, was graduated and became a full-fledged physician last month, and has bem appointed an assistant surgeon in St. Franeia HoBpital, Jersey City. A great deal of anxiety is manifested because of the eondition of Healey's arm, which is .very stiff. Manager Spenee, however, is confident the lame member will be brought around all right by the tims the championship season opens. i fci Tbe admission to all the local exhibition games will be 25 cents to "the terrace," 50 cents to the pavilion and 75 cents to the "fashion boxes." These are the names assigned by Manager Spence to tbe bleaching boards, grand stand and private boxes, respectively. Sh Won by Courtesy Only. Special to the IndianaooIIs JoprcaL. Lafayette, April 5. Wm. Graham, the champion shot of England, who is here on a visit, in a card this morning denies the printed story that he was defeated at Long Branch by Miss Annie Oakley. He says he bad four matches with Miss Oakley, in one of which she won only by courtesy. He save he is willing to shoot a match with Miss Oakley for any torn at any distance, and ' "will only use one hand to my gun to give heran extra show." Racing at New Orleans. New Orleans, April 5.

He has been working among the country people for the past six months to get up this squad of converts. The crowd was composed of men. women and children. Some of the women were young and unmarried, aa were also some of the men. The elder seemed to possess some strange power over them, as they cringed in his presence, and seemed to fear him aa slaves wooH ffar a master. He engaged one room at the Metropolitan Hotel last night and the whole crowd passed the night in it. Early this morning tbe converts were marched to the depot, and left on tbe first train for their Western home. An Experimental Jnmp, New York. April 5. An interesting experiment waa made to-day by tbe New York fire department. Mae. Zazel, a professional female athlete, jnmped several time from a three-story window into one of the new life-saving nets with which the department ia now experimenting, and one of which it proposes to adopt in future Zazel was dressed in ordinary street costume, with a heavy wrap. The strong fire

men stretched out the net to its full tension, and the woman landed squarely and in perfect safety, anda momentlater climbed out upon the pavement. The experiment waa most auceessfull. Nets will probably be served" out to ail the engine houses, as a part of tbe regular life-saving apparatus. POLITICAL NEWS. Floyd County Republicans Give Gen. Harrison a Solid Support. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. New Albany, Ind., April 5. An immense massmeeting of the Republicans of Floyd county, tha largest in many years, assembled at tbe hall of tbe Lincoln League this afternoon to appoint delegates to the Third district convention, at Seymour, on the 19th, to choose district delegates to Chicago, and also to the State convention at Indianapolis to select delegates to Chicago for the State at large.

V. Mallory, Louis Hantaan, John S. Marsh, Charles Grundy, L. Lew Russell, R M. Compton, C E. Duncan. J. H. FenwicK. To the State convention: George F. Penn, Albert Hopkins, Dr. W. A. Burney, Hon. Jesse J. Brown. . The Gresham men, failing to carry the convention on a proposition to have tho chair appoint a committee to select delegates to be reported for the action of the convention, declined to vote when the ballot was finally taken, and, though tbey "kicked" a good deal, there was an evident undercurrent of satisfaction among them at the result, and they all declared if Harrison is the nominee at Chicago they will give him an enthusiastic support, and there is no doubt they will do it. Prohibitionist Hoghes at Spencer. Special to the Indianapolis JonrnaL Spencer, Ind., April 5. For several days large posters have been out announcing that the Rev. J. S. Hughes, prohibition candidate for Governor, would speak in the opera-house here to-day, and at 1 o'clock an audience of about seventy-five persons of all shades of political opinions gathered to hear what he bad to say. There was nothing new in his speech. He re

peated part of an old speech delivered here in a previous campaign, ridiculing the Republican local option platform of two years ago and sneering at all people who do not choose to vote with bis political party, especially reflecting on preachers who choose to vote the Republican ticket. He declared that tbe prohibitionists would not vote tor temperance men on either of the old party tickets, and that tbe saloons dominated the old parties and bad the churches by the throat through the preachers. He opposed license and local option, and said the Republican party bad been deceiving the people sinee I860, pretending to favor prohibition, when they never intended to enaet such laws and had joggled with the conscience of the people on this question in order to secure their votes a little while longer. District of Columbia Democrats. Washington, April 5. The Democratic eonvention to elect delegates to represent the District of Colombia at the National convention in St. Louis was held here to-night. William Dickson and Lawrence Gardner were chosen. The resolutions adopted favor home rule and congratulate the President upon the reforms introduced in every branch of the government, and conscentious efforts made to administer civil-service reform. The civil-service plank in the resolution was hissed and the home rule utterance loudly applauded, one delegate shouting: "We want no more trotters." The following resolution, submitted by Mr. H. T. Burrows, as a minority member of the committee on resolutions, was laid on the table by a viva voce vote: Resolved. That the Democrats of the District of Columbia, judging by the treatment received by tbem at the hands of the present administration, do not believe that either their interests or dignity would be subserved by the renomination and election of Grover Cleveland. Mr. Dickson declared himself for the administration, and Mr. Gardner summed up his position in the statement that Mr. Cleveland will be renominated and re-elected. Republican Oalna in Clark County. finer.Ial to the lndianaoolis Journal. Jeffersoxville, Ind., April 5. As is well known, this (Clark) county is Democratic by a large majority, but the returns from tbe township elections, the last of which were received to-day, do no afford much consolation for the "unterrified" hosts in this section. But for the general apathy existing among the Republicans, and the fact that in three townships they placed no candidates in the field, the result might have been still more discouraging to the Democrats. Only three townshipa bave Republican majorities, and five Republican trustees were elected. In Silver Creek township, where the Democrats are about 100 in the ascendency, tbeir majority was cut down to 3. Monroe township, which has a Democratic majority of 60, elected a Republican by 57 majority. Oregon township has a Democratic majority, and elected a Republican trustee by a handsome majority. The Democrats made no gains in any of the townships. Mississippi Republicans. Jackson, Miss., April 5.

"You may put it down as settled that David Bennett Hill, the keen and wily Governor of New York, is in the field for the Democratic presidential nomination. Any one who, for any reason, pins his faith on rumors that the Governor is going to announce his declination of the honor before it is offered him, or after, is simply mistaken. Tbe most surprising of all these rumors waa that David, following tbe example of the late lamented Bltine. had written a letter to some faithful henchman, which at the proper time would be sprung on the public. This was industriously spread by trienas ot the administration. Governor Hill has not written a ny such letter, and he will not write such a letter." Edgar County (111.)

Root, Strong Ss Co., wholesale dry goods merchants, have assigned to B. Howard Lawson, a banker of Brighton. The failure is attributed to the recent death of Mr. Root and the complications liable to arise in the settlement of bis affairs. He bad large investments outside that in the dry goods house which closed its doors to-day. Ha was at the head of the Mason Lumber Company, at Alpena, being its president and chief stockholder. That corporation, which had a capital stock of $100,000. has also assigned. R. C Faulooner. a member of the company, being assignee. These diverse and undetermined interests will embarrass as well as prolong the settlement of Mr. Root's estate, and as tho easiest as well as the shortest way -out of tho dilemma, the assignments referred to are made. Inventories and balances will have to be determined before the assets and liabilities of tho firm can be announced. It is thought that tho assets will exceed $700,000. Bridgeport, O., April 5. The La Bell Glass Company tailed to-day for $65,000; assets, $100,000. Addison Thompson, secretary, was appointed assignee. liquor Liw Complication. Des Moines, Iowa, April 5. A curious complication under the prohibitory law baa arisen here. Some weeks ago the stock of liquor belonging to F. L. Stubbs. a wholesale dealer, was seized under a charge that he was selling ia violation of the law. jjTbe liquors were put under charge of a watch, pending a final decision In court. It is charged that a few days ago ho secretly removed a portion of the liquors to tho freight house of the Burlington road, while tbe attention of the watcher was diverted. Yesterday a constable pounced down upon tbe freight house and captured twenty-one barrels ot whi.rky, under the pretense that be was recapturing the goods taken from bis custody. But it is charged that be took more than the Stubbs liquor and seized some regularly consigned to another dealer. Tbe threat is now made that Stubbs will be prosecuted for having stolen his own liquor, and that the constable will be prosecuted for having stolen somebody else's liquor in his zeal to recapture the first lot. High License to Hlancaota. St. Paul, Minn., April 5. A local paper publishes interviews with about two hundred prominent Republicans of Minnesota regarding the workings of high license in this State, where the law has been in effect for about eight months. It is agreed that the law has worked well in all the cities, and that the effect has been good, not only in the sense of increased revenue, but in lessening tbe number saloons and in bettering the character of those that are in operation under the law. With one single exception the replies show that tho sentiment is favorable to tbe retention of the law, and in nearly every case tbe statement is made that the people would not consent to a return to tbe old order of things. In Carver county alone, where their are a great many Germans, the law bas been disregarded, but the sentiment there has always been strongly opposed to any restriction of the traffic. Suffocated by Gaa. Beaver Falls, Pa.. April 5. Katie Dovlt and Mary McClain, supposed to be from Mt. Pleasant, Pa., earn to tbe Grand Hotel yesterday evening as chambermaids. They wert asked if they knew how to turn off the gas, and they said tbey did.

Katie Doyle died in a few minutes. Miss McClain still lives, but is nneonscious. The girls are apparently about eighteen or twenty years of age. " Horned by Molten Metal. New York, April o.
