CRISIS IX IIAYTIAN AFFAIRS

The Kesidents of Port-au-Prince Terrorstricken Over Hippolyte's Advance. . American and English 3Ien-of-War Ready to Shell the Citj in Case Foreigners Are Harmed Women Assisting Legitime. roRT-AU-Pr.iNCi:, July 7. This city, within the last few days, has been in a state bordering on frenzy, llrppolyte has assanlted the extreme out-works, but he is being held in check at the present writing. Legitime is impressing into the ranks every man capable of carrying a rifle. The people have been delirious with excitement. The Minister of War has execu ted some of tbo prisoners with his own hands. Hippolyto is destroying farm-houses in the very sight of the city. All foreigners have been threatened with extermination, but the United States naval force on hand is prepared to shell the city if necessary. The Kearsarge and Ossipee are in good 6hclling positions. All the guns are ready for tiring. A system of signals has been established with the American consulate, and the moment tbo danger flag is exhibited picked infantry companies from the Kearsarge and Ossipee will jump for the boats. The captain of the British cruiser declares that if one Englishman is touched he will open every gun in his batteries. The American ships will not be second in this. Everybody aboard the Kearsarge and Ossipee are ready for the assault. The moment Hippolyte comes over the broastworks he will rind a row of bayonets and cutlasses encircling the American residents. Hippolyte's nearest fosition is within almost a mile of the city, t is rumored that his force numbers 10.000 men. It is now a question of but a few davs before the end is at hand. Port-au-Prince knows it, and men, women and children aro prepared to die with Legitime. The feeling against the foreigners is one of bitter hatred, and it needs but a spark to turn the whole native population into a frenzied mob. Commanders Shephard and Kellogg are on the watch at evry point. Admiral Gherardi considers himself ablelto protect every American resident. It is out of tho question to take any aboard, and, with the Kearsarge and Ossipee at hand, their present position is almost as safe as if ou tho deck of the war vessels. Legitime is working like a beaver. Ho has every man at the out-works. Many women are there, too. All the ablebodied of Port-au-Prince are doing service: No one dares to flinch for fear of summary death. If Hippolyte makes a general assault he will be sure to sustain heavy loss. His forces can readily be made out with tho aid of glasses. He is covering a very extended position. Provisions are becoming very scarce; a can of condensed milk of inferior quality costs $1. Many are suflering from hunger. The Kearsarge arrived here on July 1. The Ossipee reached Port-au-Prince tho day . before the Kearsarge arrived. The admiral feared serious trouble brewing and ordered the Ossipee out of St. Nicholas mole tho moment he got in. Rumors have been flying about that gave evidence of an acgresftive movement on the part of Hippolyte's forces. For fhe first time during tho trouble the American minister and consnl-Keneral became alarmed, and they earnestly requested Admiral Gherardi ou sailing to v?nd them protection as soon as possible. The minister does not fear Legitime's forces as much as he does those of Hippolyte. Should the latter carry Port-au-Prince it is believed that he will sack and cut the place. No one will then be safe, and especially the foreigners. Every one is talking of the "fire-eater" Legitime War Minister) having executed some prisoners "with his own hands, to show the soldiers that it was not necessary to burn powder to kill. This brings the execution to the very doors of the government. It is only increasing thehatrecl of Hippolyte's men for Legitime and the former swear they will wreak vengeance when the time omes. It is said that Hippolyte is cansing all these reports of cruelty to spread from mouth to mouth in order to ctlect if possible a national uprising. Tho present state of atlairs is the outcome of an agcrressivo movement made by Hippolyte on June SO. The pressure in the north became too strong to permit of further inactivity. The leader of one faction threatened to bolt from Hippolvte's support unless ha moved at once or oil ered proposals of peace. Hippolyte accordingly determined to advance, and on the SOthnlt. threw a body of men into a position distant live miles from Legitime works. At onee great excitement prevailed in "Port-au-Prince, and the consternation became so general that had Hippolyte then pushed ahead ho would have mot with comparative' little resistance. His advance, which was made in the early morning, was heralded to the city by beacon tires burning from hill top to bill top, together with a general firing of signals, and everybody was called to arms by the beating of drums and sounding of bugles. Squads of soldiers rushed from place to place, forcing every man in the fortifications. Men, women and children rushed but into tho night air, screaming with fright, while horses and wagon trains dashed headlong through the crowds and out to tho front. Daylight finally broke and revealed the city in condition bordering on a panic. Swarms of armed, half-uniformed soldiers roamed through the streets, shouting and yelling, while crowds of women and children huddled together. Others, possessing more presence of mind, spurred on by fright, rushed to the water with all the effects they could carry. All day long the uproar continued, Hippolyte still refraining. As night gradually came on, confidence was in part restored and fewer troops were to be fonnd back in tho city. Toward evening the greater part of the transportable property had been gotten out , of the city, and as night advanced a strange and pitiful spectacle was presented of a great crowd of women and children huddled together in a email plain situated to the northwest of the citj. Here they remained the entire night, the children clinging to their mothers, and all sending up aery which sounded on the night air like a great wail. Daring the early part of the second night, and again toward the approach of the following morning, volleys of musketry could be heard in tho direction of the front, at times coming in quick succession and again spreading out in a slow, steady lire. MorninK revealed Hippolyte's position within a mile of the outer posts, and, by the aid of a good glass, his men could bo seen straggling along in detachments up to the adyance. The impression prevails that had Hippolyte ordered a general assault on the first night, instead of making a mere feint of an attack, he could have carried Port-au-Prince. At the most he would have found a mob before him, which could have been crushed had he made anything of a determined effort. It was on the evening of the 4th that tho report was passed from mouth to mouth that the foreigners were be exterminated during the night. Immediately all arrangements which had previously been mado were perfected and tho United States naval forces were made ready to land in company with the British. The instructions of tho latter were to protect Hntish interests at all hazards. At5r. m. of the 5th, Hippolyto threw out an extending skirmish line, supported by strong infantry columns. Tho opening of the battery guns at any time is a signal for a great crowd to rush to tho scene. Hippolyte is now camped within one mile of the city. The people of Port-au-Prince appear to have but little confidence in Legitime, but they stick to him, believing their only show is success for Legitime or death. The Tate President Salomon's Concession. Washington. July li). The Star, tonight, after referring to the communication which it said President Salomon, of Hayti. had made to this government shortly before his death, offering to give to tho United State the absolute right to the harbor of Mole San Nicholas, that wo might establish a coaling station for our war vessels there, says: "Tli is proposition of President Salomon was still unacted upon wheu Mr. lilaine went into the State Department, and it is believed to have furnished tho incentive for his proposition to send a commission to Hayti, with a view of ascertaining whether or not Legitime was disposed to give ns as liberal concessions as were offered by President Salomon. President Salomon's reason for making this oiler, it

is said, was to effect a close alliance with tho United States, with tho hopo that it would insure a stable government in Hayti." BECOMING DESPONDENT. Kesidents of the Conemangh Valley "Who Expected Too Much Leaving the District. Johnstown, Pa., July 19. Business in Treasurer Thompson's little bank progressed smoothly, to-day, and about 10,000 was paid out, making a total of $2?,S05 for tho two days. The total of registered losses in .the Conemangh valley is between $8,000,000 and 0,000,000, not including that of the Cambria Iron and Pennsylvania railroad companies, nor such others as did not register. So far tho people have received tho $10 a head fund, whicb amounted to $1C0,000. and the first distribution of tho general relief now being made involves $500,000, so that the sufferers have been paid $000,000. In the average case this amounts to about 1 per cent, ofthe actual loss, and if. as the commission says, only about $1,000,000 remains to be paid, there will be 3 per cent, of their losses made good to the sutterers. This state of affairs has depressed many, and the result is that hundreds have left the town. Probably for the first time in its history the Cambria Iron Company finds itself wanting men, several hundred positions being vacant. This may in somo measure be accounted for by the fact that a reduction has been made and another is contemplated, but many are known to have gone away that they may the sooner banish from their minds the terrible ordeal through which they have passed and the impression it left on their minds. Hundreds have left because nothing but ruin meets the eye wherever they turn. Indeed, the work yet to be done in clearing up the town is so great, and the force of workmen employed so small, that men of Judgment predict it will not bo completed for next summer. All these drawbacks, including the small percentage of losses likely to be paid, tho debris covering tho town, wages reduced, no homes, no clothes, tend to cause many of the most prominent people to consider the future of Johnstown. There seems, according to the opinion of most, but ono means of recovery, and that is to invoke aid from the national government. It is understood that a meeting for this purpose will beheld shortly, and in the meantime the courage of the people will depend somewhat on the result of that meeting. Should the prospects not be brighter within a short time many will bo added to those who have left Johnstown to seek permanent homes elsewhere. Wonderful progress has been made of late in clearing tip. The workmen are eo systematically distributed that they are enabled to accomplish much more than formerly. Is'ew buildings are going up everywhere through the town, bnt few of them are moio than ono-story. Dr. W. 11. Lowman has rebuilt his ofiice, it being tho first brick structure erected since the flood. Mr. Graham and NellieBly this afternoon finished the distributing of the New York World's $10,000 fund, and left for home this evening. Five bodies were found to-day, and there aro indications that many more are under the debris where the men are now working. Losses of Life Insurance Companies Pittsburg, July 19. The losses to tho various life insurance companies by reason cf the flood in the Conemaugh valley will reach over $250,000. The following is tho list completed to date: The Provident Life and Trust, $7,000: Fidelity Mutual, SOOO; New York Life, $4.3,000; Home Life. $2,000; American Life, $10,000; IT. B. Mutual. $0,000: Etna Life. $9,000: Travelers', $4,000; United States Life, $18,500; Equitable, $2T,000; Mutual Life, &3.000; New England, $2,000; Penn Mutual. 11,000; Washington Life, $8,000; Pacific Mutual, $3,000; Standard Accident, ,000; United States Mutual Accident. $7,500; People's Accident, 15,000, and various assessment associations. $20,000. Of this amount of losses $175,000 has already been paid to tho beneficiaries, and as fast as the proofs aro mado the money is disbursed. One remarkable instance is that of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which had over 1,000 policies in the Conemaugh valley and sustained only three losses. The money is being paid by the insurance companies as fast as it is ascertained to whom the money belongs. This is the great question, and many new and strange complications have arisen and

will arise, and many suits must of necessity follow. In some instances whole families perished, and the impossibility of proving which of several direct or possible heirs perished first and the like makes them serious questions. Only those learned in law can tally understand the many difficulties in litigation over losses that will arise. Upon the question of survivorship depends the direction in which the money must go. This opens the door very wide for pretenders ana false claimants to kinship. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Local Forecasts. For Indianapolis and vicinity For the twenty-four hours ending at 8 p.

Plea for National Aid to Educate the Masse3 in the South Kindergarten Training.

Nashville, Tenn., July 19. The seventh session of the Educational Association was opened at tho Theater Vendomo this morning with prayer by tho llight Rev. Bishop John Keane, rector of tho Catholic University, Washington, D. C. The committeo on honorary members of the national association added the following names to tho roll: Mrs. James K. Polk, Gov. Robert L. Tayloc, of Tennessee; John M. Lea, president Historical Society of Tennessee; O. St. Eogg, president Nashville Board of Education, and CcL A. S. Colyar. of Tennessee. A paper on "Sound Blindness" denned the term tole any disorder of the ear. Tho infirmity was as universal as color blindness, and quite as important to be cured. Charles Foster Smith, of Vanderhilt University, condemned the too promiscuous bestowal of honorary degrees by American institutions. There has been but one honorary degree granted by Vanderbilt University. Alex. ITogan, of Texas, said the problem of tho hour is to secure universal suffrage and universal education. Sir. Hogan advocated national tinancial aidfo education in tho South. A per capita debt of 13 will not permit the South to meet the requirements of tho hour. He also urged absolute uusectarianisin in any system of public instruction. Tho family and the church, with six-sevenths of the time of the child, should care for its moral and religious training. Invitations were received from St, Panl, Minn., Saratoga. N. V.; Lexington, Va., and Bethlehem, N. II.. urging theirrespective attractions as a place for holding the next annual meeting. A noticeable featuro of tho present meeting of tho Educational Association is the unusual interest manifested in tho subject of kindergarten training. The doors of the Masonic Theater had to be closed this afternoon to keep back a portion of tho. throng. Proscenium boxes were reserved for and tilled with Sisters of Charity. Department President Sheldon, of Massachusetts, read a congratulatory telegram from Mrs. Senator Stanford, of the Uolden Gate Kindergarten Association, of San Francisco, to which a suitable rerdy was ordered eeut by the convention. Kindergarten in its relation to motherhood was discussed by Mrs. Sarah Cooper, of California, and Mrs. Putnam, of Illinois. Colonel Parker, of Chicago, spoke on the importance of the system of instruction in the kindergarten and schools which would preserve the natural innocence and purity of early childhood. The board of directors of the association voted this afternoon to hold next years meeting in St. Paul, Minn., if favorable arrangements can be made with the railroads and ample local facilities are furished. Tho closing exercises to-night consisted of an enthusiastic meeting, supplemented with a reception at tho Commercial Club. The national committee on resolutions condemn the delay of Congress in passiug pending bills in aid of education, and urgo the necessity of increasing tho proposed appropriations. At 11 o'clock the meeting adjourned sino die. The Missing AeronnuL Jackson, Mich., July 19. The people of Jackson are deeply interested in the fate of Professor Hogan, tho celebrated aeronaut, who started on Tuesday from New York in Campbell's air-ship. Opinion is largely divided as to his fate. Many think he has gone down in the ocean, while others are of opinion that he is hiding somewhere for the purpose of creating a sensation and securJ ing advertising. Still others believe him safe, and that ho will turn up all right in a few days. Hogn is known to be a man of nerve, and no matter in what predicament ho finds himself never loses self-control. He was deeply interested in this air-ship, and before leaving Jackson expressed the utmost confidence in its success. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Hogan rvceived a dispatch from Campbell as follows: "Have heard from Hogan. He is all rieht and may be hero to-day. When I hear further particulars will wire quick." Late last nitflit Mrs. Hogan had heard nothing further. She is nearly prostrated with fear and anxiety, but still clings to hope. Professor Hogan was billed to make an ascension at St. Thomas, Ont., to-morrow, and his brother William left last night to till the engagement. Nkw Youk, July 19. Up to a late hour to-night the missing balloonist, Hogan, had not been heard from. Steel mates VSTU Not Be Redaced In Trice. PiTTsnuRG, July 19. Chairman Abbott, of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., emphatically denies that his iirm has Teduced the price of steel plates $6 a ton, as reported, or made any other cut whatever in the selling price of their products. He says, further, that steel plates have been selling at cose for a long time, and reductions aro impossible. An Anniversary Observed. Several hundred invited guests assisted the National Surgical Institute, last night, in celebrating the twentieth anniversary of its establishment in this city. The entire building was thrown open for the occasion, and with floral decorations and brightlyilluminated apartments presented a very attractive appearance. When the guests were assembled tho Rev. Dr. Haines introduced the exercises with a brief address, in which ho spoko of tho work of the institute. After tho exercises tho guests wero invited to partake of refreshments, and wero shown through the institute. Beforo the company dispersed Dr. Allen was surprised with a gift in the shape of a beautifully engrosstid testimonial signed by all the patients in tho institute. The present and its receptiou wero a departure from the regular programme of the evening, and formcd'U pleasing incident. Accepted with KegreL The resignation of Rev. Arthur T. Pierson, formerly pastor of tho Second Presbyterian Church of this city, has been accepted with expressions of regret by tho trustees of Bethany Presbyterian Church, of Philadelphia, to which he went from here. At a congregational meetin g held on Tuesday night, the retiring clergyman stated that his relations with the church collectively and individually were in every respect congenial. In giving his reasons for tho dissolution of the pastorate he stated that it was his belief that God had called him to push forward tho work of foreign missions. He had no other definite planfor tho future, and asked that he be permitted to sever his connection with the church on or about Sept. 15, Expenses of Arbitration. Reese Hammond has brought suit for twenty-live dollars against an insuranco company to test a new question. His barn, insured for $1,000, burned. The company offer of 700 in settlement for the loss was refused. In the arbitration that was held Hammond had to pay his representative 125. It is this he sues for, claiming that he had paid all demands of the company accordingto his policy, and should not par more. The matter will probably be tasen to the Supreme Court. Insurance men say that if expenses of arbitration are to be paid by the companies it will add greatly to their outlay. Released from a Long Term.Isaac S. Seay, of Marion county, was yesterday pardoned by Governor Hovey. Seay was sent to the State Prison North in 1883, on a twenty-one years' sentence for manslaughter. He got into a quarrel with his brother-in-law, Isaac Baker, and killed him with a blow from a board. His pardon was asked for by the judge, prosecuting attorney, the jury and many of the citizens of Indianapolis.

NATURAL-GAS AFFAIRS. A Property That Requires Considerable Mon- ( ey to lie Serviceable to Consumers. George B. Yandcs, receiver for tho Broad Ripple Natural-gas Company, filed his final report with Judgo Howe, yesterday, in which the sale of the property as mado on Thursday was set forth in detaiL The court approved the roport, and ordered the proper entry, thus settling, once for all, tho question of its ownership and responsibility. A gentleman thoroughly familiar with all the affairs of the Broad Ripple was asked the question, what would bo done with the plant! "If it doesn't fall into the hands of some one." he said, "who will at once put SG3.000 or $75,000 into the extension of the line and the drilling of at least fifteen wells in good gas territory, the consumers on the Broad Ripple lino will bo without gas after Dec. 1. I mean that as soon as there comes a demand for gas there will be none.- It is a known fact that during tho time this company has been in the hands of the receiver some six wells that were flowing gas havo ceased, and the field the company has been operating in has been drowned out by water." "Can it be made a paying property!" "I do not think it can under existing circumstances. The company has at present about 1.000 consumers, ana that is approximately the capacity of tho line-ran 8-inch pipe. First, there is the interest on the $125,000 debt of Mr. Wescott. a mortgage and first lien. The property was 6old subject to that debt. Now to that must be added the interest upon the debt due creditors, which is $50,000, and tho interest upon the money necessary to extend the line into the field whero a larger supply of gas is. That added to the creditors', debt will mako 110,000 or $115,000 more, which means a total of between $14,000 aud $15,000 of interest. To that are to bo added taxes and expenses of keeping up the lino, office service, etc., estimated at $10,000 a year, which would make $25,000. To the amount thus gained you must add $5,000 a year for renewal of wells. One thousand consumers would give a revenue averaging $30 each per year, making the fross receipts of the company $30,000 a year, ive thousand dollars for maintenance of tho field, drilling wells, etc, would bo wholly inadequate. I think the result would, be absolute loss. These are tho figures Mr. Wescott had before him when he s:id he had enough of tho gas business. The remains of the Broad Ripple company are, however, in the hands of shrewd, levelheaded business men, and we may bo suro that they will do tho best that can bo done under the circumstances."

Action Regarding the Trust. Of the COO delinquent stockholders who have been sued by the Consumers' Gas Trust Company, one-third have Bet tied up to date. Yesterday was tho time agreed upon wnen a test case would be tried in Justice Walpole's court, but it has been decided to postpone any further action until Aug. 10. This step has been taken to furnish the delinquents additional days of grace. But many of those sued living in the Twenty-first ward are determined to resist as'nient and meet the matter in the courts. ast night a large meeting was held at Moh's Hall, when Councilman Trusler presided. After speeches by Messrs. 8trobel, Hay, Rouse. Williams, Hasely and others, it was decided by a unanimous vote to appoint a committee with instructions to prosecute the Consumers' Gas Trust Company for not making the required extension into tho ward. The committee consists of Chas. R. Hasely, L. G. Dynes. Leo Kimmick, L. L. Curtis. S. S. Bragg, J. H. Rouse, exCouncilman Brnndage. John Upd3'ke. Jos. Allerdice and J. E. bhelton. An organization was afterward perfected of the delinquent subscribers who have been sued by the Trust Company to fight the cases on the grounds that the Trust has totally failed to fulfil any of the promises made as to furnishing gas. Tho feeling was very general that as the Trust had succeeded in keeping the other gas companies from the ward and the people from enjoying the benefits of tbo natural gas, every means should be employed to compel it to fulfil its obligations.
