MEETINGS AT CAMP ACTON

Ibe Several . Exercises Noticeable for Fervent Interest and Hopefulness, . JL Day Devoted to Children, in Which Mnsic ' and Marching Are the Princiral Feature's ; ' . Addresses to the Little Ones. ; Yesterday -was delightful at Acton Park. Tho san shone down bright and warm,, but a delicious breeze was about,, anil ; from under tho shade of the, widespeading beeches the cottagers looked ant npon'the beautiful prospect and almost forgot the discomforts of the night before when the xain camo down in torrents, leaving, a legacy of dampness they had no genial gas lire to drive away. Hut there is no doubt in the minds of any one that tho present camp-meeting now getting under way will be a thorough and complete success. It is in the air; everybodj'saysso. Tho lirst meeting yesterday was at the inconveniently early hour to the Icity people of 5:45, and yet the campers were up and fully three hundred attended the services, which were conducted by Kev. Joheph II. Smith, who led with great fervor. At 7:45 a. m. there was a children's song service, led by Prof. K. E. Hudson, of Alliance. O., who has had long experience in such work besides natural adaptability. Ho has had charge of the music in Sabbath-school conventions and camp-meetings so often that he no longer counts theru by single occasions, but by series, and the present is the beginning of Hyde, of Hall-place M. E. Church. Indianapol is, gave a forcible and earnest talk concerning tho training of children in the church. .He was of opinion that too little attention was paid to the Catechism, and said that be had asked a class of fifty children what it -was. Seven or eight had heard a little about it, but only two or three knew anything of it. Ho believed in the work of conversion in childhood, and iu answer to the ouestion of how many there were con verted while children a largo number stood up. : At the 10 o'clock a. m. services the sermon .was preached by Dr. Pepper, of Philadelphia, a man evidently of great Dower, but now in feeble health. The sermon wasjogicai, scnoiany ana strong, lnauaition to the many clergymen who navo been on the ground since the camp-meeting opened, the following arrived yesterday: Kev. J. F. Woodruff, Ames Church: Kev. William Teller, California-street Church; Kev. W. .y. Sheridan, Ulaekford-street Chnrch; Kev. fJ. S. Tevis, Fletcher-place Church; Key. E. A. Campbell, Aurora: Key.C. E. l . i l.i : i i i cj S juiuo, x rauKiiu; iwuv. vjr. r. tonurr, xairlaud. The number of children that were expected to bo present, two thousand or more, failed to arrive. There were about four hundred of the little ones, however, and the service in which they took part was very interesting. At s r. m.. the ceremony of marching around Jericho took place. This consisted of a procession of about fiixhundredpersous,chifrty children, marchingthroughtheprincipalstreets of the park, fringing gospel songs, the ceremony concluding by tiling into tho Tabernacle, where the children's mass-meeting was then opened. This meeting was conducted by Professor Hudson, who got a largo amount of song nut of the boys and girls, the first effort being the cold-water song. "We'll never touch the poisoned cup; No, we'll not even take a sup Of that which ruins hangs men np. Cold water for inc." Rev. E. P. Drown, the evangelist, made a ehort talk and exactly suited his young audience. He said a great many people had the idea that children were not good for anything much except perhaps to malco a noise. When ho first went to Chicago he saw a bit of a boat, not much bigger than a KkiiL come along chug-chug, with , great black smoke rolling out of it. There was no place for passengers nor any lor freight. It made a great deal of noise, but did not seem food for much. The little tug's name was lero, and a few days after that he saw Hero again. This time tho httlo boat had a big schooner in tow, bringing her into the fiver, coming in chng.chug-chug. Ho said that was the way with some of these cirls and boys lots of fuss and sputter but when they are in the right road and going right they may be bringing into port their papas, ivnd mammas, and other large craft. Ho was followed by Kev. W. F. Sheridan, who spoke briefly but entertaining, and the Children's day was voted a Success. At C:30 p. m. a youugpcople'a meeting was nddressed by Kev. J. S. Ditler, and at 8:30 r. M. Rev. Joseph H. Smith preached. One of the features of the meetings is the singing. An organization of tho singing talent of the young ladies and young gentlemen has been eftected. There are now nearly 100 enrolled, and tho number will soon be increased to 200. The services to-day will begin with the usual Pentecostal meeting, at 5:45 a. M., conducted by Kev. Dr. S. A. Keen, of Robert's Park M. E. Chnrch; at 8 a. m., love feast, led by Rev. J, H. Ditler, 10 o'clock, preaching by Kev. Jos, H. Smith; " XL p. m., song service; Jed by Prof. Hudson; ' - 2:30 r. M., sermon by Dr. Pepper; 4 P.

Pi of fMor Hudson is tryiug to work up a sent!-,-jncnt that will lead to larger audiences on Buncay, and of the very best lK'oule who will be desirable additions to the attendance. He says that at Lakeside. Chautauqua and Round Lake special trains are run from the oitles on S.ittir- . day nights a late as I) o'clock. This is to accommodate workinsiiDen and their families who tiefire to sind the babhath on the camp ground. Arrantfrneeuts can Ik made to furnish such comers c ots at ten cents each, and these may be sheltered in cottages or tents, They nan then,, either bring their own . food with theni or be supplied at a fair price on the ground. He said that at Lakeside 2.000 or 3,000 people are nrrught out on similar terms each Saturday night and stay, in camp ou Sunday. The Assembly at Bethany. The annual encampment meetings of the Bethany Assembly will begin Wednesday next, and continue until the 19th of August. A more successful meeting is expected this year than evertefore.

In addition to its regular tralu, the I. & V. road will run an excursion L-ach day during the session, leaving the city at 11:15 a. m., and returning at C:05 r. M. The Date Changed.' Yesterday morning the executive committee of the Seventieth Regiment met in 'Squire Smock's office and decided to chane the date of the rerl- - W9 menta reunion from Sept. 5 to Aug. 23, the day following the iaylDg of the monument cornerttoas. This change of time was made in order to

- - enable President Harrison, who will probably r?o present at the corner-stone laying, to attend. The meeting will be held in To mil ns on U&1L ' V Satisfied with the Administration. .y. C Heron, of Cincinnati, who has been engaged In the trot trade with Rogers, Brown A Co., of that city, for some time, was at the Bates yesterday. -He is an ardent Republican and took an actira part in the last campaign. 44 1 find the people in the various States I hare visited lately, he "said to a reporter, "are very, well satisfled with President Harrison's administration. The conservatives throughout the country are contented. - The office-seekers, of course, may do a little kicking, but that would be found, no matter which candidate had been elected." , "Have you observed any difference In labor markets which could be attributed to the administration!" ' "It is hardly fair to attribute any Improvement nolely to Republican policy as yet Southern iron has advanced nearly $1 on the ton, andt the market is active and large. I would rather say that this hopeful outlook Is due to the assurance of security that Is felt in President Harrison throughout the country. The Southerners are interested in Iron and they arc mostly Democrats, but they have enough confidence in tne Republican party to base their business speculations on it if they do talk differently. The protective policy of the party is what catches them, and that tells in business, where it wouldn't do to talk it out In public." In Search of Ills Son. A. D. McCormack, a wealthy farmer of Henry county, was In the city yesterday wearing a look that meant business. Ills son Frank, nineteen years of age, shaving left home Thursday, ostensibly to go to Knightstown, had not returned home, and when Mr. McCormack telephoned to make inquiries it was learned that the youth had come here and married Katie M. Crandall, a girl about his own age. When Mr. McCormack reached here yesterday afternoon, he learned that Susan B. Fcrstln, the girl's mother, had made affidavit that Frank was of the legal age to marry. Mr. McCormack at once announced tnat he would both prosecute Mrs. Ferstin for perjury and hnve the marilage annulled. Ills chief objection, he says, to the marriage is made on the ground that the girl has been out of the Insane Asylum but a few months. She was committed to that institution Sept. 17, 1883, and released Jan. 31, 1889. Mr. McCorniack says he will spend $1,000 on the case, if that much is necessary to carry his point.

Funeral of Captain Whltsit. The funerd services of Capt. Courtland K. Whitsit will occur at tho family residence, No. 180 Christian avenue, at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. The O. A. R., Scottish Rite and Center Lodge, F. and A. M. will have charge of the services. Department Commander Travis has re quested all Grand Army posts and visiting comrades to meet at the court-house, at 1 o clock, from which place they will march to tho residence. Street cars for the cemetery -xrill be waiting ou college and Home avenues. The members of Phil 11. Sheridan Post are requested to meet at their hall to march in a body to the court-house, and from there go with the other posts to tne n hitsit residence. Matter Will Be Dismissed. A meeting was appointed last night, in the city clerk's office, to give an opportunity for all citizens who have complained on account of the treatment they have been receiving from the water-works company, to make their objections known to the water committee of the Common Council. What was supposed to be a complaint arose out of euspiclons on tho part of certain citizens that the company was snowing partiality in it rates charged, but no one was present to tnaka such charges, and nothiug was done. The matter will be referred back to the Council as dismissed for lack of any regularly filed remonstrances. Death of Perry Todd. Yesterday morning Perry Todd, an old and respected citizen, died. He had been a resl den of Marion county for sixty yfars. He married fifty-three years ago and his wife survives him. He united wifli the Baptist Church when ayoung man. He was the father of ten children, nine of whom yet live. After pitching hay on his farm last Thursday he complained of feeling bad and went to bed. Friday, being much better, he walked about the yard. About 10 o'clock he eime in, sat down m his favorite chair: a moment later his head diopped forward, and he was dead. His disease was rheumatism of the heart. The lloatraen's Trust. H. n.Lee and James Bradshaw met each other one day last week at Petoskey, Mich. "Been fishingl" asked Mr. Bradshaw. . "Some," replied Mr." Lee. "Out yesterday on Crooked lake, and had good sport." "What do these boatmen charge!" inquired Mr. Bradshaw. "Three dollarss," was the reply. "There are eight or ten of them, but they all charge the same." Whew!' exclaimed Mr. Bradshaw; "these pernicious trusts have even penetrated tho haunts of the honest fishermen!" Knocked Down by a Team. Yesterday an old gentleman named James Kussellf crossing the street at tho corner of Washington street and Virginia avenue, was knocked down by a runawuy team. He was cut about the head and badly bruised on tho shoulder. He was removed to No. 90 Lincoln Lane by Kregelo. Confession of Judgment. -In the United States Circuit Court, yeeterday. John V.

A TRIBUTE TO MRS. ADAMS.

The Example of Charity and Christian Char acter She Formed by Many Acts of Devotion. The funeral of Mr Hettie M. Adams vras held at the residence of her son, Jostns C. Adams, 750 North Delaware street, on Mon day afternoon last. The death of this good and useful woman is a loss to the , com munity sensibly felt by those who knew hermany good qualities of head and heart. Her life of twenty-six years in this city was & benefaction to many a poor and lonely . rerson, as in her life she literally fulfilled the Scriptures by feeding the hungry and clothing the , naked. The weather was never too severe, or the night too dark, or the distance too great to provent her from 1 1 I a ll.. ot n a leaving ner nome to minister xo ine v auio, or relieve the suttering of those she knew were m distress. On different occasions she risked her life in going among those attiictc d with contagious diseases. Among the legacies she left to the unfortunate poor is one that well portrays the character of this courageous, yet unostentatious woman. While an otticer of tho Orphans' Home, of this city, there came- to the institution a poor deformed boy. Mrs. Adams's sympathy and desire to nelp the cripple went out to him, and through her efforts the Surgical Institute received him and cared for and relieved the unfortunate boy. Being an amiable and interesting child, he attracted the attention of a gentleman and his wife stopping at the institute, who finally adopted him. He grew np their son, and on the death of .the gentleman he was made his heir and came into an estate of 100,000. To-day, as a man, the onco deformed boy is honored and respected by all who know him. Another child found in the asylum, badly crippled, was similarly treated, and now is a useful and worthy mechanic. It is the lives of such women as Mrs. Adams that make the world better, and the memory of her many acts of charity and Christian virtues will cause her to be long remembered as a practical, faithful Christian, a devoted and unselfash wife and mother. . Travelers' Protective Association. ' At the rate the association is going ahead since the convention at Atlantic City it will soon be a power in the land, and one of the strongest combinations ever organized. Manager J. C. Van Pelt, on Thursday last, enrolled six new members in St. Louis, making a total of over five hundred admitted to Post "B of that city. In the last two weeks. Missouri Division has appointed permanent hotel committees, who are already sending in contracts made with the leading hotels in that State. ! Applications for ten new members have been received by the secretary of Post B, Indianapo-. lis. There are prospects for flfty new members to be taken in during August. A committee of ten, consisting of five active and tlve associate members, has been appointed by Post B to confer with the Board of Trade and arrange for a general meeting in this city at some near date. The wholesale merchants approve of the endeavors made by the association, and seem quite ready to lend their assistance and support. Quite a number in this city have already consented to Income associate members as soon as the general manager arrives and be gins his work. Several members of the T. P. A.. C. T. A. and IT. C. T.. who are enjoying their vacations at Cedar Beaob, made a special trip to Fort Wayne Friday, and spent the any with the commercial travelers of that city. Tho club-rooms are al ways open to visitora, and one of the virtues of Post A is the liberality it shows to guests. It al ways extends such a hearty welcome that ,one regrets being obliged to leave its society. Chairman of hotel committee M. S. Sonntng, or Evansvuie.expects to spend the coming week, in Chicago. Will Rebuild at Once. E. Rauh & Son will begin at once to rebuild their fertilizer factory on the sito of the one de stroyed by fire on Friday. The Messrs. Rauh state that the stench from the tire arose from burning oil, and not from the fertilizer. That. they say, is ground from raw and dry bone, the offensive material being carted off to Seller's farm before the process of manufacturing has begun with any material that is brought to the iactory. A Huckster Fined. Market Master Isgrigg has niado several coni- " plaints to the city authorities that country hucksters, who refuse to pay any market license, range their vehicles alongside those of others who comply with the law, causing no small amount of trouble to the market-house officers. At his instigation. J. M. Mount was arrested. yesterday morning, and taken before Mayor Denny, who nned mm and costs. Value of Last Year's Improvements. According to the returns made to Assessor Quill the value cf building improvements in the city and suburbs last year was $1,031,863. f)f this amount SH23.0GO represents city improve ments, 85.72." for West Indianapolis, $1 1,300 Urightwood. $7,500 Woodruff Place.

McDonald was here yesterday to procure affidavits regarding Ed Cross, who was killed at Maysville, Ky., a few months ago. The woman who shot hira was sentenced to the peni tentiary for two years, and as that is thought under the clrcunistauces to be a heavy sentence it is proposed to appeal to the Governor in her behalf. . . . .

When Principal Chief Mayes, of the Cherokee nation, was questioned as to tho attitude of his people concerning tho oncoming con ference with the United States commis sioners, he said, speaking in correct English: "The gentlemen will bo treated with the utmost courtesy; but if they come here to negotiate a sale, or any proposition to sell, their labors will avail them and their government nothing. In the first place, the Cherokees don't want to sell to auybody, and in the second place their constitution forbids any such transaction." The chief then produced a copy of the Cherokee Constitution and read the prohibitory section. "Hie only way this can be amended," he added, "is by giving public notice six months before a general election, and no such election will be held here for two years; therefore, any and all legitimate eftorts on the part of the United -States to transact a treaty with the Chero"kee Nation for the sale of its lands cannot possibly mature for two years. Now. I understand tho idea of tho government is to shows that it contains certain liaws. Of course it is natural that any expedient, however unfair, should be auoptcd by the government. The Cherokef s refuse to sell, but they will undertake a 'monstrous task when they attempt to undermine our patent. We had in black anil white tho words of President Andrew Jackson giving this land to the Chcrokees as long as the grass grows and the water flows. Moreover, our title has again and again been .continued by the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the government, and several inferior courts have held similarly. The C'herokees, therefore, will have cause to be extremely suspicious if the commission begins its labors by assailing our title." A dispatch from Kansas City says: Treasurer Andrew Sindler, of the Cherokee Strip Live-stock Association, yesterday notified Treasurer R. B. Boss, of the Cherokee Nation, that 100,000 rental for the strip, from July 1, 1660, to January 1, 1800, was in bank at his disposal. A meeting of the cattle association was held yesterday, but only routine matters were disposed of, and nothing was said of tho extension of .the lease. White Karth Agency Indians in Dad Humor. White Earth Agkncv, Minn., July 27. It seems pretty certain that the great White Earth reservation of 3,000,000 acres will not be opened this year. Commissioners Kice, Martin and Vhiting are discournged over the outlook. After suggesting many questions to the commission In reference to the Nelson bill, the Indians took a decided stand against opening any portion of the White Karth reservation to settlement. There have been several stormy sessions, and the Indians are not in good humor, so that It will be a difficult tatdc to secure their consent. The commission has been in session at White Earth ten days, and ns yet has not secured a signature. The Clan-na-Gael and Martin Ilurke. Chicago, July 27. John F. Pcanlan, a friend of the late Dr. Cronln, was asked by a reporter for the Journal, this evening, what his opinion was in regard to the rumorthatthe Clan-na-Ciael men were gathering in Winnipeg for the purpose of rescuing Burke from the custody of the authorities iu case he is delivered up by the Winnipeg police to the Chicago ollicials. lie replied that he was convinced that such was not their intention. He believed they were not there as Burke's friends, but as his enemies; and they were prepared, in the event of his extradition, to assassinate him in order to prevent his return to Chicago, In the belief that he would make a confession of the plot to murder Cronln, if ho should fall Into the hands of the Chicago authorities.
