Corydon boasts an historic elm tree under whose spreading branches tradition has it that a session of the Indiana Territorial Legislature was held. It is known that an extra session of the Legislature was held at Corydon dur ing a summer while Indiana was a Terri tory. It is also believed that the tree was then large enough to shelter such a body, and as it stood upon a cool, mossy bank near a spring and only a short distance from tho Capitol, it is quite probable that the members of the Legislature would leave a warm, crowded room and repair to such a cool snot. A convention was held at Corydon in June, 1816, for the purpose of uuupuiiK vsonsiiiuuon ior tno new state. It has been reported that this convention was held under the famous tree. It is a known fact that in a later dav the grand jury for the Harrison Circuit 'Court held sessions under the tree. Manv visitors on reaching this place ask to see the historical tree, and are referred to this spreading elm, whose body measures thirteen feet three inches in circumference, and between tne tips of tho limbs is a distance of 115 ieet.

AWAITING DEVELOPMENTS

Anxiety in London Over To-Day's Possibilities in the Strike Movement Monster Meeting: at Hyde Park TesterdayChicago Trades Assembly Talks of RevolutionEnglish Interests in Africa. WILL THE STRIKE BECOME GENERAL? London Anxiously Awaiting To-Day's Derelopmenta Monster Meeting of the Strikers, f pedal to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Sept L London is awaiting with breathless anxiety the developments of the great strike to-morrow, when the turning point is expected to be reached. Tremendous pressure has. been brought npon the officers of the different tradesunions by the leaders of the men now out to induce them to bring about a general strike of all the workingmen in London tomorrow. If anything approaching such a general stoppage of work should take place to-morrow, and continue for only a few. days, the danger to publio safety could scarcely be overestimated. Even in ordinary times the feeling among the working population of the metropolis that they are being oppressed by their employers is sufficiently pronounced, but with this feeling intensified a thousand fold by idleness and starvation, and with a million workers whoso only occupation would be to meet and excite one another with the stories of their grievances, tho police and the military force must be formidable, indeed, to orerawe them, desperate with hunger and conscious of their strength of numbers. It is di&cult to-night to give auy reliable estimate of the number of workingmen who will join tho dock laborers to-morrow. All the trades have had their meetings, and in all cases a conclusion of some sort has been reached, but their leaders are closemouthed, and special care has been taken to prevent any hint of their proposed action leaking out The men. as a rule, are so anxious to convey . the impression that nothing will be dono, and this is so entirely opposed to tho plan usually pursued of loudly boasting of the great work to- be , accomplished, that the conclusion is naturally drawn that something like a general strike has been decided upon, and that the leaders are only anxious not to lose the advantage of a thorough and complete surprise. However, this appears to be pure speculation, and tomorrow may pass without the dreaded suspension of all industry. But even if it does not come about in this shape matters are certainly drifting toward such a state. Every day of the past week has seen now additions to the number of striking trades, and the time is ripe for organized workmen to discover grievances never before suspected. To-morrow, without a doubt, thero will be isolated strikes, involving thousands of workingmen, even if the general revolt of labor docs not take place; and at tho rate of progress made so far it would not take long to involve tho larger part of London's working people in tbe great strike. Tho temper of the merl already out is very different from that they displayed a week ago. They no longer allow Burns, their conservative leader, to dictate their policy, and already ifc is apparent that he will be overruled. The men are growing ugly, throats are frequontof bloody work, and their passions are further inflamed by the slight rise in provisions, which has been the unavoidable outcome of their own action. Tho strikers held a monster meeting this morning on tho Thames Embankment, and at its close marched in procession, f0,000 strong, to tho afternoon meeting at Hyde Park. They carried a great many banners, and bands of music were interspersed at frequent intervals. The contribution boxes were carried along the edge of the procession as on last Sunday, and were lib erally treated, as then, by the crowds along Yl i. iuo tine til juarcii. luo bu i&cib muiuiaiu an undaunted front, and profess to be con fident of victory, and that soon. Three American vessels arrived in the Thames todaj and tho American sailors on board were offered three shillings per hour, or six times the pittance for which the strikers are contending, to unload their own ves sels. When the sailors had taken in tho situation they did not ask for a moment to make up their minds, but promptly refused to do the work at any price. They were received with loud huzzas by the strikers at their meeting this morning, and were iriven the place of honor in tho procession. The meeting of the strikers at llj'de Bark this afternoon was a monster affair. Burns and others of tho leaders made speeches, in wnicn tney urged the men to stand hrm, and assured them.that victory was certain. Kesolutions were passed unanimously in favor of continuing the strike until the de mands of the men were fully conceded. After the meeting the men dispersed quietly. Ihere was no disorder whatever. Over two thousand coolies employed by Parker Lambert as bargemen joined the strikers to-day, and they will not return to work to-morrow. The council of the strikers had a prolonged meeting last evening, at which every phase of the situation was discussed. Ihey decided to continue tne strike. It is estimated that 150,000 persons took part in the demonstration at llydo i'ark. During the progress of the meeting Mr. Burns and others passed throuch the crowd and took up a collection for the benefit of the strikers. Ihe money was recervedin hats and open parasols, and a large sum was obtained. An, American gentleman who was present cave a handsome dona tion. In an interview, Mr. Bums said that the strike committee had decided not to have a procession to-morrow. They propose to devote the day to real work, especially to improving the hicthod of collecting lunus. Five thousand railway men held a meet ing at Darlington to-day, and decided to striko unless shorter hours of labor were granted. Revolutionary Talk at Chicago. Chicago, Sept. 1. -The Chicago Trades Assembly to-day adopted resolutions de claring: The wonderful rapidity with which the great strike in London spread from the dock laborers to other trades and occupations in no way related thereto, and the active interest, sympathy ana co-operation of the great manses of people in that city, together with the tendered and active help of the workers in the industrial centers of Great Hrltain, on the continent of Europe, America And Australia, marks the creation in the minds and hearts of the workers ot one common and vital Interest that makes practical and very probable the simultaneous uprising of such crcat masses of angry workers as will seriously endanger existing social and industrial institu tions, and emphasizes the immediate necessity for the employing class to concede such reasonable reforms as will remove the possibility of a revolution that threatens such terrible results to life and property. . GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. British Interests In Africa Stanley's Services Substantially Acknowledged. Ficlal to the Indianapolis JournaL London, Sept L The British East Africa Company have decided to lengthen their cords and strengthen their stakes. Everything so far has been so successful with them that they feel every confidence in the future.

WITH 1IIS OLD KEGI3LENT. General Sherman Spends an Evening with the Thirteenth Infantry. Milwaukee Sentinel. It was like old times. In the dim light of Japanese lanterns, in the middle of the lawn adjoining tho residence of Henry Hase, on Third avenue, near Lapham street, there sat on a chair "Old Tecnmseh" Sherman, and around him squatted his old fiard, the surviving members of tho hirteenth United States Infantry. A more brotherly reunion is unknown to history. It was twenty-five years since Gen. Sherman and the men who sat around him had been constantly together facing death and sharing in the joys and sorrows of the war, and twenty-three years since they had last seen one another. General Sherman did notkiss nor embrace his old comrades, but In the manner in which he shook their hands, in which he addressed them and recalled war incidents familiar to them, there was the boundless love of a father meeting his eons after many years. The old soldiers, on the other hand, feli like loving children. There was both love and reverence in their demeanor towards the General. For three hours they sat chatting in the open air, the veterans asking questions and General Sherman giving answers. Among those present thero were Maj. Horr, of Dubuque, la.; Capt. Muhlenberg, of Galesburg, Mich.; Sergt, White, Of Rush City, Minn.; Scrgt. Richards, of Omaha; Sergt. Kaephart, of Iowa; Sergt. Lawrence Kirk, of bt. Paul; the Rev. Daniel Ryan, of Columbus, Ind., tho chaplain of the Thirteenth Regiment; I. Hnyk, of Liberty, Neb.; John Sullivan, of Chicago; C. A. Nelson, of Dccoran, la.; H. A. Oliver, of Cincinnati, and many others, accompanied by their wives. 'These very boys that yon see around me," the General said, "were with me on a train that left Memphis for Chattanooga, about twenty-five years ago. We had only; 450 men, S00 regulars and 150 volunteers.' Shortly before reaching Colliervillo we were overtaken by 3,200 rebels, in command of General Chalmers. Well, we did not give in. We showed fight, and defended our selves as best we could. Wh made me leave Memphis with such a siTTall number of men was tho fact that two detachments that went ahead of me had met with no accidents. The boys fought bravely. In the meantime I sent to General Corse, who was camping about fifteen miles from Colliervillo, for reinforcements. When they camo tho enemy rutircd. We lost over 100 men during that engagement." Captain Pabst olicred him a glass of beer, . and ne accepted it with the remark: I have heard of the Milwaukee beer for the last twenty-live years. Captain Pabst bado tho General long life. "Don't you think my life will be shortened if I drink this!" General Sherman inquired. No!" replied the Captain, emphatically. 'Then Pll drink it.' said the old warrior, emptying the glass. General Sherman, in sitting down, told his old comrades to make themselves comfortable, and they sat down, forming a circle around him. He became talkative, and recited to his attentive listeners tho whole history of tho Thirteenth United States Infantry. "Of all the officers of the regiment," he said, "Colonel Ferdinand de Courcey is the only one whom I met several years ago and most of theouicers that served with us aro gone." One of the soldiers recalled how the General had instructed him to call while on guard on the Mississippi river, "ship ahoy!' if a vessel should come in view. "Yes," said the General. "I was something of a sailor myself. I had gone around Cape Horn and traveled a good deal on tho sea, and that is where I cot my knowledge of tho marine signals and expressions." Continuing in a rambling manner. Gen. Sherman informed bis listeners that he was the one who saved their lives. ."Fifty-three per cent, of your battalion were gone," he said. "I was afraid you would get slaughtered entirely, and that is why, after the battle of Vicksburg, I ordered you back to Tennessee." General Sherman recalled how the battalion to which tho boys around him belonged were once, frightened by ten rebels, and how, after the firing of two shells at hi command, the rebels surrendered, although they were separated from the Union soldiers by a river. "I have a picture at home representing just this incident," he Baid, "and I often think of it." In reply to a remark of one of the veterans, he 6aid: "You fellows had better food than we in the otlicers tent. An old nigger used to bake apple dumplings for us, but the apple dumplings, after the many mealshe knew how to pre pare, always tasted to mo as if laden with lead. On day I told the nigger that I was tired: that I could not eat theapple-duniplings after the many other things, and that ho should let us know whenever there were apple-dnmp-lings in order that we might eat less of the other food and save up room for them. The nigger took a board and wrote upon it, in large letters, 'Apple Dumlins.' Whenever he had baked them the board warned nsin advance of their presence, and we ato less of the other dishes. Whenever there were no apple-dumpling the boam was reversed, and we were at liberty to eat nioro of the other things." In the course of his further conversation General Sherman dropped the remark that the war was of great moral cnVct upon tho character of the Nation and had produced great men; Senators, United States Supreme Court Justices. Presidents and so on. Three of the oilicers in his statfhad become members of tho United States Supreme Bench. President Harrison was also an oilier of his staff, and Judge Helm, of the Supremo Court of Colorado, was one of the drummer boys in the Thirteenth Regiment. Shortly before midnight the veterans bade the General a heartv farewell, and he assured thera that he would never forget the evening. Not So Fopular Now. low 8tat Rortatfr.
