PETTIS, BASSETT & CO REVOKED ITS PER3IIT. An Assessment Insurance Company Prohibited from Doing JJnsiness in This State. When Auditor of Stato Carr went into office ho found a doen or more associations doing a life insurance business in Indiana on the assessment plan. A majority of them -were not altogether substantial, direct or legal in their dealings with tho people. The situation became threatening when Michigan drove a number of companies beyond hei borders. They settled in tho towns and cities oi this State, near tho 'northern boundary, but their stay was brief, as they could not obtain from tho Auditor permission to do business. All of these companies, with many of Indiana origiu, are gone except three, and tho Auditor says they are working legitimately and with ample resources, Hut these three companies, on going into New York, were refused permission by the Insurance Com mivfiionrr of that State to remain. That, however, did not deter the Flour City Life Association, of Rochester, from coming into Indiana with a request for a permit. This was about a mouth ago, and its representatives said that Indiana assessment companies wero allowed to do business in New York. Auditor Carr granted the permit, but re-c-utlj on discovering that the law of reciprocity was not observed, decided to revoke it. Thi he did yesterday, and for so doinc, in addition to the reason based on a lack of reciprocity stated that the Inaurrance Commissioner of New York had found that the Flour City coiurutny used $4,ttTo.i2j of its mortuary fund to pay expenses, that it carried on an endowment insurance, and that it settled a claim of $.".ujO for fl.onu. All these things, with the lack of reciprocity, were violations of tho Indiana law. Suvcil from drowning.

FEATURES OF THE FOURTH

A Holiday No Patriot Refuses to Strictly Celebrate as Pleases Ilim Rest. Large Crowds Expected from Oat of Town to See the Long-Talked of Industrial Parade Which Promises to Be Most Attractive. The indications for tho local celebration in honor of to-day have for 6orae time been such as to warrant high expectations, and the success with which the ellbrts of tho executive coinmitteo have met seems to point to a happy realization of tbem. Numerous excursions on a majority of the railroads will, early this morning, begin to till the streets with residents of outlying towns, and, while a few Indianapolis citizens may wend their way to the woods for a da ys rest, the increase in visitors will, doubtles1!, aid in making one of the largest crowds that has ever assembled here upon similar occasions. The endeavor is being made to havo everything put on as much of a holiday air as possible. People who anticipate transacting any business will havo to do so early this morning. Rut one mail delivery will be made, and all the offices of the State, county and city will bo closed in order to permit everybody, employer and employe alike, to enjoy a relief from work. The principal feature of tho day will be the parade, which is to bo made as nearly representative of the city's industries as possible. During the day base-ball will bo afl'orded to those who enjoy tho game. This afternoon the picnic, by the supporters of tho eight-hour system, will bo held at Hammond's grove, a beantifnl park located on Fall creek, near Schotield's mill, a distance of live miles from Washington street. This resort can be reached by carriage, taking, tho College avenue. Fall creek and Allisonville pike, or by special trains over the Lake Erie & Western railroad. These will leave tho Union Station at 11 o'clock a. m. and 1, 2 and 3:30 o'clock p. M. Return trains will leave tho park at 11:30 a. m. and 1:25, 2:30, 4 and 7:30 o'clock r. m. All of them will stop at the Massachusetts-avenue station. On the grounds speaking, dancing and music will o the order. To-night there will bo no formal display of lire-works, but the patriotism of the Indianapolis small boy has not become so'extinct as to do away entirely with the usual number of sky-rockets and roni.m candles that will make themselves visible as soon as to-day's sun has set.

OUTWITTED THE PARENTS. A Young Civil Engineer Elopes with a Lady of Terre Haute and Is Married Here. When the fast mail train from tho west over tho Vandalia road pulled into tho Union Station, at 3 o'clock, yesterday afternoon, a dapper young man of smooth face and with light hair and mild blue eyes, alighted, followed by a young lady, neatly dressed and girlish in appearance. As they passed through the big iron gates, they each gave hurried glances at tho peopio gathered there, and then, to avoid tho crowds in the waiting-room, passed out of the shed at the west gate, going at a brisk pace up Illinois street. Tho two wero Donn M. Roberts, city engineer of Terre Haute, and Miss Graco Tieruan, of the same city. They came here to be married, and did not want to bo discovered until they had had tho connnbial knot tied. They walked directly to the residence of Father liessonies on West Georgia street, and producing a license he had obtained in Terre Haute Mr. Koberts asked to be married at once. Rut thero was an obstacle in the way. Miss Tiernau being a Catholic, and a re-' cent gratuate of St. Mary's-in-the-Woods. and Mr. Roberts a Protestant, i ather Ressouies informed them that he could not perform the ceremony unless a special disfensation was procured from the bishop. Ie, however, consented to accompany them to the Bishop, and in a few minutes the dispensation was obtained. The marriage then occurred according to the forms of the Catholic Church, and the young husband and wife smiled triumphantly as thev bade Father Bessonies good-bye. At 8:30 o'clock Mr. Roberts walked into the Grand Hotel and registered as 'Donn M. Roberts and wife, Terre Haute.'' He had hardly done so until J. G. McNutt and several other Terro Haute gentlemen congratulated him, and proff ered him any assistance ho might need in carrying his little romance to a successful end. Mr. Koberts thanked them with a remark that he thought tho worst was over, and ordering a carriage took his brido out for a couple of hours' drive over the city. The young man who thus succeeded in getting the lady of his choice for a wife is a son of Dr. W. H. H. Roberts, of Terre Haute. He is just past twenty -one years of age, and graduated at the Kose Polytechnic Institute last month. 15y profession he is a civil engineer, and was elected civil engineer of Terre Haute only a few days ago. The lady is the daughter of Hi, A. Pieman, of Terre Haute, and is twenty years of age. Her parents are quite wealthy. After supper Mr. Roberts was glad to see a Jonanal reporter, and relatn the story of his courtship and elopement! Ho said lie always liked to assist newspaper! in getting tirst-class items, and for that rea son he had made a contidant of the editor of the Terre Haute Express, aud told him sevr eral days ago of his arrangements. "There is not much to be said about us gettingmarried,"8aid he. "I made up my mind to marry MissTiernan; she was willing, 'and as her father would not consent, we hart to go away from home to have the ceremony performed. The old gentleman would noty even allow her to have company, btitI managed to see her occasionally, and after' she graduated at St. Mary's, last month, wo concluded to et married." "Did you have any trouble in getting away from Terre Haute!" "None whatever, because her parents were not thinking of anything of this kind occuTing. The3' knew I thought a good deal of their daughter, but as they did allow mo about tho house they did not suspect that an elopement cont'd be planned. Rut as to how we got away. Well, she just walked down to the trhin' and got on, and as it' was about to stairt I appeared and boarded it too. Nobody know wo were leaving but a few of my friends, and I was not much afraid of ;rjeiug headed off bv telepraph." ' "Do you think Miss Tiernan's parents will become reconciled to tho union. " "I do not know, aud I am not Jiving myself any uneasiness on that score, am amply able to take care of myself and wife, and Mr. Tieruan can do just as ho pleases about welcoming us home.' "Why did the young lady's parents' object to the marriage?" "Because Miss Tiernan is of Catholic parentage, while my father is an atheist and my mother a Methodist. I do uot think no could urge any other objections against me." "You will, of course, return to Terre Haute with your wife!" "Not for a few days. Wo will go to Chicago, where we will remain for a week, perhaps, and we will then return' to Terro Haute to live. I do not feel tbat I havo done anything to be ashamed of, and I think I will still havo the confidence of my friends when I return.' Mr. and Mta. Koberts left for Chicago on the 11 o'clock train last night. m An Important Arrest. The United States Treasury agents say they have run down another member of tho gang that has beeu dealing in the counterfeit $10 greenback. Tuesday night Samuel Kivers, alias "Pap" Wiggenton, was arrested at Shelbyville, charged with handling the spurious money, and yesterday morning be was brought to this city and placed in jail to await a preliminary examination. Kivers is also under indictment in Shelbv county for horse-stealing. Tho officers who have been working on tho counterfeit case regard his arrest as tho most valuable that has yet been made. They claim to have evidence showing that ho was an extensive dealer in the bad money, and there is a possibility that ho maybe induced to furnish some valuable information as to those who make it. MatTinge Licenses. Marriage licenses were issued yesterday to John D. Kader and Josephine DeMott, William H. Flannery and Cora M. Dricsth.itigh. Albert I. Kendall and Kegina Yung, John N. Smith and Annie E. Smith, Charles R. Williams and Carrie Dohn, Christian F. lletzand Ketta Trontwine, Kobert Squibb ami Elizabeth C.Nicholson, Charles Konsch and Ella Drum, Frank J. Wolsitler and Mary J. Taylor. The New Insane Hospitals. Tho provisional board of the additional hospitals for the insane held its regular monthly meeting yesterday, and disposed of a great deal of routine business. All the hospitals will soon be ready for occupancy, ami the members of the board express themselves as well pleased with tho progress and character of tho work. Sold to Frank A. Maui. The property used for State offices while the Stato-houso was under construction has been sold to Frank A. Maus for the appraised value, S40.0000. He paid one-half cash, and the remainder is carried on one and two years' paper. Accident to a Doctor. Dr. Field, while getting oil a street-car Tuesday night, fell and suffered a complete fracture of the femur. Drs. Eastman, Todd, Maxwell and SutcliiV wete called in attendance. The prospects are favorable for an early recovery. Money for Pensions. To tho credit of tho pension agency of this city $1,000,000 has been placed. During the past fiscal year .8,000.000 was paid out at this point to nearly 45,000 pensioners.

YOUNG PEOPLE'S ALLIANCE

A National Convention Wherein Methodist Workers Arc to Consider Plans. Dr. Cleveland, in Welcoming the Delegates, Re- - fers to the Fame and Position of Indiana Scientists The Order for To-Day. The national convention of the Y'ouug. People's Methodist Alliance began yesterday afternoon at Roberts Park Church with a much smaller attendanco than was expected, tho reason therefor probably being because of tho intervening holiday. It is, however, expected that more delegates will arrive, but thus far only four States are represented, Michigan. Illinois, Ohio and Indiana. The convention was called to order by W. W. Cooper, of St. Joseph, Mich., Qtid a committee was chosen to select names of officers for a permanent organization. This committee consisted of M. D. Carrel, of Chicago, Charles La Fontaine, of Joliat, and W. F. Sheridan, of Indianapolis The committee, after brief consultation, reported tho following nominations, which were adopted: President Kev. W. I. Cogshall, Nile?. Mich. First Vice-president Rev. W. F. Bwitzer, Covington. Second Vice-president F. H. Kosseter, Indianapolis. Secretary Miss Lodilla Ambrose, Evanston, UL The following were chosen a committee on credentials: Charles La Fontaine, Joliet; Miss Frances Rummell, Indianapolis: Kev. L. H. Melvin, Knightsville; Miss Helen Sheridan, Flora, 111.; Frank McCluny, Chicago. Among the prominent people of tho alliance present are S. A. Iveau, a Chicago banker; Kev. F. A. Hardin, also of Chicairo, and Kev. Henry Date, the evangelist. Tho report of W. Yv. Cooper, corresponding secretary at large, showed that during the past year over S00 alliances had been formed, making a present total of 42.". with a membership of 17,000. There are two factions in tho convention, one of which favors tho merging of the alliance into tho Epworth League, a society recently organized, of which Dr. Hurlbut. of the Sundayschool Union, has been elected as secretary. There is considerable opposition to this project on the ground that the league does not at all embody tho alliance idea, and that it will be better to continue the latter organization. It is claimed thattho league represents a culture line among the young people, while tho alliance is devoted distinctively to spiritual work, biblical training and soul-winning. The discussion on the proposed merging of the two organizations will tako place to-day, and some definite action will be taken. At the evening session Rev. Dr. H. A. Cleveland delivered the welcoming address, which ho began by very wittily showing the advantages of this city and Stato. "You will pardon me," said he, "if I tell yon what kind of people you havo come among. The famous blue-grnss region of Kentucky got its grass from this State. It was planted thero, but it is native to Indiana soil. We have natural gas for light and fuel; oil wells are opened in some parts of the State, and mineral springs and mediciual waters abound. There are one hundred distinct church organizations in this city, and our own denomination has over seven thousand communicants. Our people lind time to keep abreast of the nest thought of tho age. But a single other State in the Union has as large an invested public school fund. Our commonwealth is. young, but awake, vigorous and progressive. Indiana has given great men to the world in war, in statesmanship, in literature, in science. In dialect and satirical stories Indianians aro sometimes called Hoosiers. Rut what is called tho 'Hoosier element' among us bears no more relation to Indianians proper than the Cape Cod folks do to the citizens of Massachusetts. ''When the ignorant, who sometimes come among us, wish to satirize the stolidncss of the native Indianians they speak of "Hooppole township' and 'Posey county.' Rut tho fact is thero is no such township, and the whole Nation is as much indebted tb Posey county for tho original and useful brain work done there as to any county in the Union. It was in this county, in 1824, that tho New Harmony settlement was founded by Kobert Owen. Here David Pale Owen lived, the pioneer geologist of the whole Mississippi valleyt and whose works are an authority to this day. Hero lived Kobert Dale Owen, who wrote 'Footfalls on the Boundaries of Another World,1 and Wm. McClure, who introduced tho pedagogic reform of Pestalozzi into the West aud revolutionized tho educational methods of tho whole country. Here lived Gerard Troosr. tho founder of the American Academy of Natural History, and who established the iirst alum-worku in the United States. Here lived Thomas Sav, who was founder of the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia. Here, too. lived Kaffenesque. the great botanist, and hero was translated for the first time and hero was published Michaux's great work, "The North American Sylva," which is yet the best authority on North American trees. Thus you see that Indiana people havo long had tho faculty and habit of greatness. You would lind Posey county very interesting should tou visit it. All tho great people who come here go down there for a little while. It was visited by ir Charles Lycll, by tho Duke of Saxe-Weimar, Princ e Maximilian and many other distinguished travelers. "This is anew age, with new conditions, new duties. Pressing upon us are new influences, intellectual and social, and new perils. We trust you will show us how in our new relations and prosperities wo may keen ourselves unspotted from tho world, and how we may maintain the integrity and loftiness of our faith, and become more zealous and efficient in all tho manly aud 'Christian work that awaits our doing. Two difficulties especially seem now to stare our church in tho face. These are, How to mend the uuinstructed narrowness that continues among us. that is alwa3's useless, and is harmful in proportion as it is pious;' and 'How to provide congenial relations and work for the high and cultivated talent that comes to us more and more every year, and that if it does not lind appreciation and a welcome field will turn sour and be the cause of many agitations and evils in our midst.' I hope that you may be united, wisely airgTessive, and filled with faith, love and hopefulness." Mrs. S. A. Kcan, of Chicago, general treasurer of the alliance, made the response to tho address of tho Doctor on behalf of the delegates. She is a bright and pleasant speaker, and though she spoke briefly her remarks wero very interesting. She explained that tho red and white ribbons worn as a badge Ly the members of the alliance typified purity through the blood of Jesus Christ. A friend had remarked to her concerning the alliance: "I am afraid you havo pitched your tune too high." She rejoined that they had not pitched it too high. God himself has Iiitched the tune: "He ye holy for I am iolv." Enoch sung to that tune and he walked with God; Paul sung this same tune without a discord until he was able to say at the close of life: "I have fousht the good light, I have kept the faith;" Jobn Wesley taught the same thing and told everyone tb strive for this purer better life. Heury Date, of Chicago, the evangelist, spoke, after which thts exercises for to-day were anunounced. At 9 o'clock this morning the meeting will open with reports of officers, after which will come the discussion of the question of consolidating the several societies of the church. At 7:iJ0 p. M. there will be a love-feast, to be followed bv short addresses by Kev. Dr. Hurlbut, of N'ew York, and others, with Kev. F. A. Hardin as leader. All the meetings of tho alliauee will be held at Koberts Park Church. Protecting Agaiiit lirewers. The Meridian W. C. T. U., Mrs. Jacobs president, met yesterday afternoon and passed a series of resolutions condemning the recognition in the industrial parade of the beer business as one of the great industries of tho country. As an organization of Christian women the union protested agaiust "giving to the children of the city such an object lesson as such recognition of this so-called industry will be." And "we pray." said they, "that all business men of temperance principles may protest against it bv declining to tako part in the parade with the brewers." The ladies in another resolution expressed their thanks to the State Roard of Education for rejecting the text-book on physiology, submitted by tho I Indiana School-book Publishing Company

as tho work contains not only insufficient but incorrect and dangerous teachings as to the nature and effects of alcohol and narcotics." The ladies further lray "that iu the exercise of tho unlimited authority vested in tho boani by the new text-book law, it will require that the book selected shall be in no rospect inferior in its scientific temperance teachings to those of cither publishers who have submitted their books for revision to Mrs. Mary H. Hunt, national superintendent of scientific . temperance instruction, and which have received tho indorsement of the N. W. C. T. U." The meeting adjourned after providing for missionary and evangelistic work. ELECTRIC STORAGE SYSTEM.

A New York Company Would Like to Tut It in Operation as a Test in This City. Permission is to be asked of Council, on behalf of the Jnlien Electric Machine Company of New Y'ork, to allow it to lay a short stretch of track on which to test its storage battery street cars. If tho pcoplo are not satisfied after tho test with that system of electric motor, the company says it will remove its tracks and replace tho street in as good order as it found it. John Caven is representing tho company here, and thinks tho proposal is fair. "The company," he said, "has been ruuning test cars for some time on Fifth avenue, in New York. It is building more. as the experiment has given satisfaction. I regard the storage system as entirely successful, and that is a conclusion reached after a careful study of electricity as a propelling motor. The Brush Electric-light Company has no interest in the proposed test, except to supply the current for tho batteries. When charged, a battery will propel a ear seventy miles before becoming exhausted, and the car with such motor can run twelve miles an hour. The battery will be detachable, so it can be taken out. and replaced by another when necessary.' Mr. Caven claims for this system less expense than for horses or mules, and probably for the overhead wire cars. The Julian company has spent $100,000 in perfecting its equipments and inventions, and is said to be able to fulfill any agreement it may make. "All we ask," said Mr. Caven, 'from the peopio of Indianapolis and tho city legislature is a fair opportunity to demonstrate the value of this system. If there is any loss, then it is ours, not theirs." Superintendent Shaffer, of the Citizens' Street-railroad Company, says that it is in no wise interested in the test. He gave his consent to have tho system tested on the tracks of the compan3 and that led to the 1reparation of the resolution introduced in Council Monday night. Rut if the test is made on the Citizens' strcet-railroati lines, he would insist on having it done by tbat company. A test, to be thorough and otherwise satisfactory, he said, must be over tracks of all kinds and for some length of time, as no test of that character can bo made in a day. While he regards the system as one worth considering, ho is doubtful if it can be operated successfully at this time, so far as profit to a company is concerned. The Julien people do not propose to operate lines, but to build cars for &o,000 each and to ask $3 per day for the use of each.
