THE BLU-RIBBON PLEDGE 0 An Eloquent Appeal from Francis Murphy to the Mechanics of Haughville.

-Thej GiTe Him a Hearty Kcccption, and 3Iany of Them Enlist in the Cause of Gospel Temperance and Reform. Whatever number of people the Ilaughville Methodist Chnrch can be made to iold Tfas in that edifice list night. Those -who kDow ay that 500 can be crowded in; they were there, and more would have been could they have got in. Haughville has been thoroughly aroused by the gospel temperance work that is now going on there, conducted by William F. Murphy, but last night his father, Francis Murphy, did the talking. His speech, largely in the nature of a familiar talk, was a stirring one addressed to mechanics and laboring men generally. "If there is any man who should be careful of his health," said Mr. Murphy, "it is the mechanic; the man who has bought & little house out in this pleasant town. It would be so easy for him to swallow that little house; it would only take about a half a dozen good big straight drunks to do it. It wouldn't last some of ns more than three weeks. But the mechanic, the man with the machine shop under his hat. must keep sober. Keep him sober, this man with genius, honor, integrity. "I am glad this is a center of industry, and if this country is great, and grand and f lorions, it has been made bo by labor. abor is the inspiration of the ago, the hope of the age, the new Columbus. Be sober, be maniy, be noble; dare to resist the temptation of drink. Labor and sobriety, they will disband armies and bring the peace of God upon earth. You are the ' men to disband armies, to make it impossible to have war; to bring heaven upon Will yon make it a paradise or a hell? You need not talk to me apout capitalists. It is not capitalists that support the rum shops in Haughville. No, they don't do it; it is the workingmen who do it. Do you hear thatf and it's about timo'f or you to withdraw your sub scription. ies.it is. This man" shaking hands with a wearer of a blue ribbon "has withdrawn his subscription and bought new clothes. That's what I did after I withdrew my subscription. "Once, when in the East, I was called npon by the Governor of Kbode Island to deliver an address to the men in the State's prison. I took my seat on the platform, and 1,200 men tramped in with the prison itcp. As I looked at them in their striped mit the tears came nnbidden to my eyes. I thought of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and how ho came into tho world to save that which was lost. Great, strong men sat before me, tears streaming from their eyes. I saw man with but one arm. I thought I knew where he had been. I asked if he had not been a soldier. The Governor told me yes, and the cause of his imprisonment was drink. I was asked to step into a corridor. I saw an aged man bending over a stretcher, and looking down on the face of his sick boy. The superintendent said he had thought the father would like to see his boy before he died, as he could not get well. There was the father talking to him about his mother, about home. Oh, Mr. Superintendent,' he cried, let me take him home. His mother and I will nurse him, and bring him back to you. If we can take him home we can get him well. He was such a good boy but lor the drink.' 'Oh, the drink, drink! What a curse it is. ' You have had it here close to your own homes. It was here the other day that a poor wife grew tired of her life. The sadnearted woman pleaded with her husband to get out of the business of selling drink. But the drink brought somebody to the house that destroyed her peace and her love, and then she used the instrument of death. God help that man to get out of the business. I am not here to denounce him, or any one; I am hero to help the men who sell and the men who drink, by God's blessing, from this awful curse of death." Mr. Murphy spoke of himself and his own bitter experience. "Some people," he . continued, 'have an idea that men who have fallen are a kind of bend, and that the men who sell liquor are also fiends. The Chinese have missionaries sent after them, and so have the Hittites and the .Jebnsites, and tho Amalekites, but the drinking men they pass by on the other side yes. even the church passes them by. What is there for the drinking man? The patrol-wagon, the policeman's club and the jail. Yes, these are the great reformatory institutions. Dr. Fletcher spoke in an interview in the Journal about an asylum for men who had been betrayed by drink. These men can be saved; not 90 per cent., but 99 per cent, of them can be saved. But the m patrol-wagon, the policeman's club and $10 and costs or the jail will not save them. But they can be saved by the love of Christ. There is not a man who has signed tho pledge at a greater disadvantage than Francis Murphy." Mr. Murphy closed with a fervent appeal for all those who had not already done so to come forward and sign the pledge. The Thirty-four names were added to the list. This r'd not represent all who last evening attached themselves to the movement, as a large number of persons (fifty or more), in addition to those who left their names with the secretary, donned the blue ribbon. The people were, as Mr. Murphy expressed it. 'the most courteous audience I have been before for a long time," as men were constantly giving up tneir seats to accommodate ladies who were late. Mr. William J. Murphv wiil continue the meetings. Francis Murphy wiil leave this afternoon for Champaign, 111., where, beginning tomorrow evening, he will hold a series of meetings lasting one week, at the end of which time he will return to this city. CCTiLINGS FROM THE COURTS. County Commissioners Sued for Not Keeping a Bridge In Safe Condition ,- ; Robert J. Craig, a resident of Hamilton lounty, filed a complaint against the Board of Marion County Commissioners, yesterday, asking $5,000 damages for injuries he received. He states that on April 2 last, on the highway, in this county, leading from the Indianapolis and Xoblevillo gravel road, at a point a half mile north of Allisonville, he drovo across a bridge that was out of repair, through negligence of the commissioners. Tho bridge gavo way, and Craig claims to have been severely injured, and that in rescuing his family and team from the stream his exposure led to malarial fever, which was attended by several hemorrhages. His wife and children were also badly injured. Wants Money on an Accident Policy. Mary Gibson yesterday brought suit against the Equitable Accident Insurance Company of Cincinnati for the recover of a thousand-dollar policy npon the life of her first husband, George H. Freeman. The companv. she claims, agreed to pny her the face of the policy within ninety days after duo notice of tho proof of her husband's death as having resulted from violent or accidental means. On March 2t5, last year. Freeman was injured at tho Indianapolis car-shops, and in five days he died.

General Delivery of Convicts Thwarted. Jersey City, N. J., May 24. Warden John Grimes, of the Hudson county penitentiary, at Snake Hill, this morning unearthed a plot for a general delivery of the convicts confined in that institution. The attention of Deputy Wardens Vollers and Clarke was attracted by suspicious conferences of live long-terra prisoners named Butler, Karmanhaus, Kelliher, Connelly and Bridell. They reported the case to Warden Grimes, who ordered a rigorous search of the cells to be made. In tho cells occupied by the convicts named were discovered nineteen tiles, six knives, five saws, ten drills, a pair of compasses and other articles. The files were smuggled into the prison from'tbo outside, and the other tools were made by a convict blacksmith now at liberty. The live convicts were brought in from the quarry and searched. A set of keys, made of lead, found in Butler's pocket would have readily opened tbe door of the cells and that of the corridor. The men were at onco put in close confinement, and for some time will subsist on bread and water. Other prisoners are believed to bo implicated, and a searching investigation is now in progress. The conspirators undoubtedly intended to overthrow the guard at night and escape to the Hackensack meadows. Chinaman. Convicted of Grave Crimes. Milwaukee, Mav 2-1. Sain Yip Jah, one of the Chinamen charged with assaulting little children, and whose arrest some time sinco led to serious rioting and the demolition of various Chinese laundries, was. this morning, found guilty.

UNION IN RELIGIOUS WORK I

Northern Presbyterians Partially Approve the Southern Assembly's Plans. They Insist, However, in Haying the Separate Colored Chnrch Clause Stricken Out Action of the Southern Assembly. New York, May Si. The lively discussion on the question of co-operation with tho Southern church, which took place in yesterday's aession of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, was the cause of bringing a lareo audience to Dr. Crosby's church this morning, in anticipation of hearing a continuance of the debate. Almost the first thing done was the reading of a telegram from the stated clerk of the Southern assembly, now in session, announcing that that body had adopted the majority report in favor of co-operation in the home and foreign fields, in the evangelization of the colored people, and co-operation in matters of publication, etc., by a vote of 99 to 27. The statement was received with applause. Rev. John Fox, a Kcntnckian, continued his speech in opposition to co-operation. The white peoplo of the country, during the past century, he said, have not observed that Christian equality between the two races that thoy 6hould have observed. They should now try to break down this lingering prejudice, and he would therefore vote against the majority report because it advocated separate churches for the white and colored people. The debate on the third section of tho majority report co-operation in the evangelization of the colored peoplewas continued. The first two Rections co-opera-tion in home and foreign missions wero adopted yesterday. Tho report is the same as that adopted by the Southern assembly. Kev. Dr. Joseph L. Smith, tho chairman of the committee that drow up tho report, held that the matter of separate churches, was desired by the colored people themselves. Rev. Dr. Striker, of Chicago, said that he would vote for no reoort that asked one Christian to stand aside at the communion table in favor of another. Ho moved to strike out that part of the report which reads: 'While conceding the existing situation, it (the Northern Assembly) approves the policy of separate churches, presbyteries and synods, subject to tho choice of tho colored people themselves." A vote on Dr. Striker's amendment was taken, and it was carried by about 400 to fifty. With this exception, the paper, as a whole, was adopted, and the paper on co-operation was also approved Of. The next thing was to adopt the majority report as a whole, as amended. This was done, only a few "nays" being heard whon the question was put. A motion was then made to telegraph tho Southern Assembly what had been done. Kev. Dr. George T. Purvis, of Pittsburg, moved as an amendment that when tho clerk telegraphs the clause stricken out he also add the reason it was done was 'not to prejudice future action nor to outline a future policy of the church, but simply because this assembly did not believe that it stated the historical . facts of tho case." This was carried by a vote of 1203 to 107. Tho report of tho standing committee on church erection was then presented by Rev. Dr. John F. Hendy, of Kansas. The report said that many appeals had been received for new churches. During the year the board had aided in building 1S2 churches and expended over SOS.OOO. The estimates for the coming year are 6150,(00. The report of the committee was then accepted. On tho overture of fifteen Presbyterians asking for a revision of the Westminister Confession of Faith, Dr. Crosby advised that if any action was to be taken with this standard of tho church it should bo done with the utmost caution. In conclusion he recommended the adoptiou of the report of the committee, which recommended that all Presbj'terians should bo asked, 'Do you requiro a revision of the Confession of Faith, and if so to what extent." Dr. Richards said that there were some things that should be changed. Dr. Duflield called attention to the fact that there was but one presbytery that overtured for a revision of the confession, tho other fourteen only asking for a change in certain chapters. Dr. Dulheld ottered to substitute for the committee's report one that stamped the change unwise ana inexpedient at tho present time. This substitute was by a large vote laid on the table, and that of tho committee accepted. The assembly then adjourned. Southern Presbyterian Assembly. Chattanooga, Tenn., May 24. In tho morning of the seventh day's eession of the Southern Presbyterian General Assembly members who were absent from balloting on the previous evening were granted the privilege of stating for which sido they would havo cast their vote had they been present, and of having such statement placed on record. Permission was asked by those members who disapproved the non-reference of tho co-operation question to the presbyteries for discussion, to place their disapproval with the rest of their party on tho record. It was granted. The standing committee on home missions completed, or rather re-read their report. It contained a recommendation for the appropriation of a sum not less than 810,000 to evangelical work among the colored race. There was raised an objection to the wording of that part of the report touching the right of presbyteries to act independently of the recommendations of the General Assembly. After a brief but spirited debate, the report was adopted as originally read. A report from the committee on Sundayschools was heard and adopted. Tho committee on foreign missions made a final report, in which was shown tho happy condition and progress of this department of the church's labor, and offering resolutions which were appioved. The report of the standing committee on publications was presented and adopted. The removal of the office of the board of foreign missions from Baltimore to Nashville was provided for. Rev. Mr. Houston, of Baltimore was unanimously elected president and Rev. D. C Rankin secretary and treasurer of the board of foreign missions. The night session was devoted to consideration of a telegram from the Northern assembly touching co-operation. District Kplscopal Convocation. Special to the Indianapolis Joarual. Plymouth, Ind., May 34. The Northern District convocation of the Episcopal diocese of Indiana closed a very interesting three-days session, in this city, on Wednesday night. There were present the following officers and representatives: rfWident, tho Rt. Rev. D. B. Knickerbacker, bishop of the diocese; rural dean, the Very Rev. J. J. Fuude, of Michigan City; secretary and treasurer. Rev. G. D. Adams, of Marion; Rev. B. F. Miller, of Logansport; Rev. Walter Scott, of LaPorte; Rev. A. W. Seabrease, of Fort Wayne; Rev. G. C. Betts. of Louisville, Ky.; Rev. Frank Mallett, of Garrett; Rev. Otway Colvin. of Peru; Rev. R. C. Wall, of Hammond; Rev. Frederick Thompson, of South Bend, aud Rev. Dr. Thos. B. Kemp, of this city. On Tuesday, as a part of tho special business of the convocation, a new church was consecrated at Rochester, by the bishop. The erection of this church is the result of missionary work of the rector of St. Thomas Church, at Plymouth, during the past year. It cost 1J00. On Wednesday morning the Rev. G. C. Betts preached an able sermon, which was followed by ordination to the priesthood of the Rev. Frank Mallett aud Rev. Otway Colvin. Tho former came from tho Methodist and the latter from the Baptist ministry. On Wednesday evening a reception was given to the bishop and the clergy at the rector. During the convocation eight persons were confirmed, and one baptized. Great interest has been shown by tho people hero in all the services of this meeting, and very good results arc anticipated. Reformed Episcopalians. Boston, May 21. At tho session of the General Council, Reformed Episcopal Church, to-day, it was voted that when

the council adjourn it be to meet in the Church of the Epiphany, Cleveland, O.two years hence. The proposition to admit Rev. Mr. Usher, rector of St. Bartholomew, of Montreal, to the synod, with the title of bishop, provoked discussion, and was strenuously opposed as an act contrary to the spirit of the church, because, as it was claimed, the title of bishop properly pertains not to an order, but to an office. Tho council, however, finally voted to recognize the title and admit Bishop Usher. Highwaymen Hang: Their Victim to a Tree. Ciiaklotte, N. C, Mav 24. When Dr. John Allen, of Stanley county, was returning home on Tuesday night he was met by highwaymen who robbed him of 830. When the Doctor was released he became furious. As he was not armed, he picked up stones aud clubs, and pelted the highwaymen. Ho was again overpowered and led to a tree, where the robbers, after putting a noose around his neck, told him to pray, and then swung him up to a limb, by some mistake in adjusting the noose Dr. Allen's ueck was not broken, neither did death result from the hanging. After he had been hanging about half an hour he was cut down aud luft lying on the ground, as the robbers supposed him to be dead. Allen went home and told his experience, lie says he pretended to be suffocated by the rope, struggled for a moment, and then was quiet. This seemed to show the robbers that he was reajly dead, so they cut him down. Donald Chavis has been jailed on suspicion of being ono of the highwaymen. Change in CI, A. It. Committees.
