J., Sept. 8. The eighth annual encampment of the Command ery-in-chicf, Sons of Veterans, will begin here tomorrow, and the city is actively preparing for the event. George B. Abbott, of Chicago, commander-in-chief of the Sons, and his staff, together with the Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, Michigan, Nebraska, Colorado, and Wyoming delegates will arrive to-morrow afternoon. In the evening there will be a camp-fire, and on the following day the formal opening of the encampment will take place. On Tuesday afternoon there will be a grand parade-, in which the military will take part as escorts to the onaof Veterans.. The meeting this year will be of unusual importance on account of the indorsement of the recent G. A. R. encampment of the camp system. There are two branches of the fc-ons of Veterans, designated as the camps and the posts system. Both organizations have been exerting themselves for years to get the indorsement of the Grand Army of the Republic. Last winter a sort of consolidation of the two systems was patched up. each agreeing to make concessions. Since then the post system has withdrawn from the agreement, and as a result the National Encampment of the G. A. It at Milwaukee unequivocally indorsed the Sons of Veterans if. 13. A., otherwise known as the camp system. Tho rejection of the Bchcmo of. consolidation will rcmovo what promised to bo an element of discord. The fcnc.i;TMuent viii continue all week. The third annual encampment of the Ladies' Aid Society, auxiliary to the Sons of Veterai:, will be held Tuesday, and will continue, with daily sessions, daring tho week. N REBELLIOUS KNIGHTS TEMPLARS. The Iowa Controversy Looms Up to Mar the Festivities of the Triennial Conclave. Washington, Sept. 8. The controversy "between Grand Commander Ropme and tho Grand Commandery of the Stato of Iowa over the adoption of a new ritual is one of the most important questions that will come before the approaching triennial conclave f oraction. The Iowa Commandery decline to follow Grand Commander Rooine's order for the adoption of a new ritual, on the ground that it was beyond Jus power to issne such an order. Thereupon the Grand Commander declared the Iowa Knights to be in a state of disloyalty a3d rebellion, andis interdicting all Templar intercourse with them by rno Knights of other States. The Iowa Knights have made arrangements to attend tho conclave next month, the grand recorder writing that from live hundred to eight hundred would be present from that State. This coming to the knowledge of Grand Commander Roome, he has notified the local committee on arrangements for the pcxade to allow no Iowa corumanderies In the procession.

Brakeman Shuts Them in an Ice Chest and Sits on the Lid During the Trip. Bloomington, I1L, Sept 8. Trainmen on the Chicago & Alton railroad have been troubled a great deal of lata by tramps. Last night three of that nomadio species boarded a freight train -at Joliet Edward Brennan, a brakeman, put them off, whereupon they tired several shots at him. Tho three tramps then got aboard another freight train which was following the one Brennan was on. James Roberts, a brakeman on this train, had heard of the trouble Brennan had had and lured the tramps into (the ice chest on an empty refrigerator car and attempted to lock them in, but found the ; fastening to tho trap-door on the top of tho car.. broken!. In' order to hold tho " tramps Roberts was obliged to throw his weight on the door. When the tramps learned they were in the toils, they endeavored to get out, and Roberts was obliged to light them all the way to the city, a distance of about seventy miles. The tramps would partly raise the door on which Roberts sat and point a revolver through the opening. They tired several shots, out Roberts kept out of range of the bullets. In order to prevent the tramps escaping die was obliged to hammer them back with a conplingpiu. This morning he landed them in this city, and they were taken in charge by the police. HU3G 1,000 FEET IN THE AIR. A Lad at Portland, Ore., Involuntarily Takes a Thrilling Balloon Trip. Portland, Ore., Sept 8. A very exciting incident occurred hero this evening. Prof. P. H. Redmond, an aeronaut was to make an ascension this evening in a hot-air balloon. Just as the large air-ship . sailed away skyward, a lad aged twelve years, named Lddie Hill, became entangled in the ropes attached to the trapeze. His neck got caught in a half noose and the boy could not extricate himself. He clung desperately to the ropes with bfth hands, and by winding them around uoth arms managed to save himself from falling, and . from choking to death. The balloon rose over 1,000 feet and drifted several miles away to the southeast finally coming down as light as feather, landing the lad without a scratch. The boy was frightened nearly to death, but soon recovered after finding himself safely on earth. , Professor Redmund did not go up at all, for if he had his weight would havo choked the boy to death. When ho saw how the lad was caught he let go the ropes and remained on the ground. Great excitement prevailed during the time the balloon was in the air. llISHAPS ON THE RAIL. m I Vestibule Train Wrecked and Baggage-Master Killed on the X. Y., F. Sc O. Greenville, Pa., Sept a Vestibuled train No. 8, the fast New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio train from Chicago to New York, was wrecked about two miles below Greenville at 12:S0 this morning. The conductor of a freight train, standing on the switch, ordered B. Ludwig, a brakeman, to open the rear switch, and flag train No. 8. instead he opened the front switch, and flagged the fast train to come ahead, and the wrong signal resulted in a collision. The engineers and firemen on both engines jumped for their lives, and escaped serious injury, except passengor eugineer Johnson, of Meadville, who was badly wounded, but may live. The baggage carwas telescoped, instantly killing baggage-master Cleveland, of Salamanca, if. Y. When found trunks were piled all over him.

History of the Case as Disclosed bj an Examination of the Papers on File Bpedal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Sept 8. There seems to be a desire on the part of certain Indianapolis papers to mislead the public concerning the release of Sim Coy from the penitentiary. A glance at copies of the Sentinel and News received here last week reveals the fact that their editors are either extremely forgetful or are determined to pervert the facts in the case. Tho News of Monday last, in its editorial on Coy, says his pardon was recommended by Republicans and Republicans only; that a similar petition was tiled with the Cleveland administration, but not acted on, and plainly charges that Coy's pardon was owing to Republican scheming and inception. These statements and insinuations are not sustained by tho record. The Journal correspondent yesterday visited the Attorneygeneral's office and examined the papers on file there. The first paper bearing on the case was the petition for a remission of the fines and costs against Coy, not for his pardon as stated by the News. It was accompanied by a letter from Charles M. Cooper, ono of Coy attorneys, of which tho f oUowing is a copy: Indiaxatolis, April 10, 1839. Benjamin Harrison, President, Washington, d. C: My Dear Sir At the request of Simeon Coy I prepared and circulated the inclosed petition, asking jou for the remission of the tine and costs standing ajrulnst him iu the United States Court. Permit me to sy that every man to whom I presented this petition signed it without hesitation, and I could nave had many more signatures If the time had been taken, as It seems to he tho universal sentiment in this community that the line and cost be remitted. Hoping it will receive your favorable consideration, 1 am Your obedient servant Charles M. Cooper. The petition prepared and circulated by Mr. Cooper, is as follows: To Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States: We, the undersigned citizens of the State of Indiana, respectfully petition you for the remission of the line and costs assessed against Bimeon Coy, amounting to $719.18. Said Pimeon Coy was sentenced upon the 3d day of February, 1888, to eighteen months in Indiana northern prison, and was fined in tho sum of 9100 by the J udee of the United States District Court lor the State of Indiana upon a charge of conspiracy.

It will be seen from Mr. Cooper's letter that he was acting on Coy's request, and as Mr. Cooper is a good Democrat, and claims sole responsibility for the petition, it is hard to see just where the Republican scheming and inception comes in. Tho let-. tor was dated April 10, 18S9, and if a similar petition went to the Cleveland officials it is not known, or at least there is no record of it to be found. The petition was referred to the Attorneygeneral, who recommended that it bo granted, upon the ground that Coy had no property from which the fine and costs could bo collected. He suggested, however, that inquiry be made upon this point before action was taken, whereupon the private secretary telegraphed Mr. Cooper and received tho following in response: Ixdiaxapolis, May 21, 18S9. E. W. Halford. Private Secretary of the President: Coy has no means whatever to pay flnoand costs. Sentence expires June 2. - Char. M. Cooper, Upon receipt of this telegram President Harrison made the following indorsement upon the report of the Attorney-general on the application: Executive Maksiox, May 22, 18S9. In view of the representation, which I am satisfied is true, that the convict has no property out of which the tine and costs can be collected, I do hereby remit so much only of the sentence as requires the payment of a tine and costs. Ben jr. Harrison. The indorsement distinctly remits only so much of the sentence as relates to fine and costs. Coywas not pardoned. He was released from paying something he had not the money to do. The movement in his behalf was engineered by a Democrat, and at his solicitation the petition was signed by prominent citizens of Indianapolis, including members of the Committee of One Hun dred. It v;as indorsed by the assistant district attorney, who prosecuted Coy, and who is also a Democrat. This is the whole story in a nutshell, and completely refutes the charges that Coy was pardoned for his offense, and that the scheme was of Republican origin. ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE. Figuring on the Republican Majority Candidates for the Various Places. Epecial to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Sept a President Harrison's proclamation admitting the four new States to the Union is not expected before November. Tho Republicans confidently expect to eleet the Legislatures in three of the four States, and believe they have a good chance of success in the fourth, Montana. They rely upon securing all of the fivo members .of the lower house of Congress. This will give the Republicans a majority in the House of at least six, under the very worst condition of circumstances, while it may be increased to eight or nine, not considering the result of contested elections. The Democratio employes in the House are relying upon a dead-lock in tho organization which will carry them in their positions over to a late day in January, and if it was not for the augmentation of the Republican mnjority by the admission of new States they believe they would continue to hold their places until next spring, while many of them, on account of the closeness of tho Republican majority and the possibility of compromises in the organization of the House, would tight to keep a continuous hold on their places. The candidates for the leading positions under tho new organization are Edward

McPhcrson and Jno. M. Carson, of Pennsylvania, for Clerk; and Charles II. Adams, editor of the Hagerstown (Md.) News, and Captain Wheat of Racine, Wis., for Doorkeeper. It is said that Ohio will produce a candidate for Sergeant-at-arms if Major McKinley is not elected Speaker. Captain Thomas II. McKeo, of Indiana, is a candidato Xor Postmaster. SOCIAL TOPICS.

Miss Proctor has only seen nineteen summers, Washington society is preparing to witness or read of the marriage of Miss Thoron to William C. Endicott, jr., 6on of President Cleveland's Secretary of War, The wedding will take plaee at Lenox, Mass., Oct 8, aud is to be attended by ex-President ana Mrs. Cleveland, the Whitneys, Fairchilds, and other magnates of the recent administration. The Washington friends of Mrs. James G. Blaine, jr., say that her determination to not go on the stage after many months of preparation is the result of overtures from Sirs. Blaine's husband, which will result in a reconciliation aud the coming togotherof the husband and wife. The family of United States Treasurer Huston are now located in their newly acquired residence in Mt Pleasant, tho beautiful northern suburb to Washington.

FALLEN FROM TOWER. tfLe Rol Est Mort, Tlve le Roll" as Applied to the Cleveland TainHy. Epecial to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, Sept. a The following paragraph in to-day's Herald, of this city, which was a very ardent advocate of Mr. Cleveland's administration, is regarded by his friends as quite as severe as true; yet it shows how the tides are turning among the friends of a President who sought new friends at the expense of his old ones: . "It is remarkable how soon a family loses what might be called its marketable value after it falls from power. Publishers no longer make handsome otters to Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, photographers have left otf importuning Mrs. Cleveland for sittings, and ex-President Cleveland is not considered a valuable card by summer hotel proprietors." MR. WANAMAKEK COAIPLEitENTED. Ilerr Wabner Surprised at Ills Knowledge , of German Postal Telegraphy. - Washington, Sept a Herr Wabner, the distinguished official of the German postal service, now here to examine the operations of the American postal system, hara long talk with Pojtmaster-general W.Ainaker before that, gentleman went to take part in the Log College celebration. Herr Wabner states that he was particularly struck by the acuteness, intelligence and comprehension exhibited by tho Postmaster-general in his questions concerning the German postal telegraphy. While he expected to find at the head of the United States postal service a man of ability, he did not suppose that a political appointee who had been in office but four or live months would be able, &s Mr. Wanamaker evidently is, to thoroughly digest all the features and theories of good postal service. Tn our country," said Herr Wabner, "a man to hold a position in the publio service equivalent to that held by the Postmastergeneral of the United States has to pass through a long term of study and practical experience, at every stage of which he is required to pass a thorough examination before he can be advanced a step. Mr. Wanamaker is as thoroughly well acquaintedwith postoffice matters as any of our officials who have passed their whole lives in our postal service. I will no longer doubt the adaptability of the American to any emergency." MINOR MATTERS. John I Sullivan's Candidacy for Congress May Prove No Laughing Matter. Flrc!l to the Indianapolis Journal ; Washington, Sept 8. Somo Boston Democrats who are in Washington say the annoucced candidacy for Congress of John L. Sullivan may not prove a laughing matter. Sullivan is located in what is known as "Pat Collins's district." It has a reliable Democratic majority of 7,000, and is controlled by Irish voters. Those who know the district will say that if Sullivan would only keep sober, escapo the Mississippi penitentiary and cultivate popularity he might capture the nomination next year. The novelty of having tho champion prizefighter of the world occupy a seat in the House would undoubtedly give rest to the campaign and an advantage to the champion. Will Reside at the Capital.

To this end they have bought a lot on the north side of Massachusetts avenue, on which they will build a very handsome house before long. Mrs. McDonald and Mrs. Harrison have been friends for many years. That Democratic statesman's wife openly rejoiced when this Republican was elected." Secretary Rusk Seeking Information.

Prominent Man "Removed" and His Hired As sassin Lynched to Keep the Secret Special to tlie Indianapolis Journal. Wheeling, W. Va., 8ept a Investiga tions by the grand jury of Fayette county, this city, have brought to light a fiendish plot About a month ago a white man named - Charles West was waylaid and butchered by Bill Turner, a worthless negro who had been a criminal all his life. West was a prominent citizen, and a committee of regulators lynched Turner. Curiosity abou the motive for West's murder was aroused and rumors of a statement that Turner had made just before he was strung up became so numerous that the grand jury, then in session, took cognizance of them, and began an investigation. One of the lynchers, John West, a cousin of the murdered man, was summoned, and during his examination broke down, and made the following remarkable confession: "Charles West was politically obnoxious to a number of persons of Fayette county, and they determined to have him removed. He was too prominent a man to be killed without exciting a searching examination, which might prove unpleasant for his murderer; and hd could not be provoked to a quarrel in which he might be shot in sell-defense. The plotters were in a dilemma, and held several conferences. At last they hit upon the plan of hiring Turner to do the deed, aud then lynching him before he had a chance to implicate them, thus destroying all trace of their guilt" West was killed and Turner was lynched, but before they could strangle their hired bravo he let fall a few words that (rave a clow to the officers of the law. The investigation has not been concluded, but those concerned in the plot are known and will be indicted at once. Three of them have become alarmed and have left the vicinity, abandoning their property. NEW "JIM TILE PENMAN." English Former Who Flew High as an Earl Canght in the West Fargo, N. D., Sept a Oswell Riddle Miles, alias Leonard Morris, Earl of Durham, alias Earl of Chester, was arrested in Fargo this morning, by Inspector Mitchell, of Scotland Yard, for forgery of $7,500 on Woodall&Co., brokers in London. The act was committed about the middle of July, and Inspector Mitchell left London a month behind the forger, who was a clerk in a banking-house. He first got track of him in New York, next in Chicago, where, it is said, he committed another forgery, then in Minneapolis whence he camoto Fargo. On his arrival he registered as Robert Morris, of London, but soon avowed his noblo origin, fctating that owing to family troubles, he was taking a tour of the world. His income he stated to be $50,000 a year, and he spent money lavishly. He first appeared at Mayville, and exhibited letters of introduction from Cornelius Vanderbilt and other Eastern gentlemen to the Dalryinple and ether wealthy families. He speedily got in tho best society and has lived high. A week ago he left for the West, announcing his departure for Japan. However, he stopped 'at Jamestovn, and on Friday night returned here. This morning as he was about to board the west-bound train ho was arrested by Inspector Mitchell. Inspector Mitchell was accompanied by J. W. Woodall, son of the head of the firm on whoui the forgery was committed, who identified Miles. The inspector claims other forgeries must have been committed either in this country of England, as they had already traced enough to show whore he had disposed of over $7,000 before starting for America, and that he spent not less than that amount in this country.

The Lord Mayor to-dav asserts that Burns unquestionably accepted the compromise proposed, and says that, now the men have rejected it he washes his hands of the whole business. Hints are not wanting to-day that the leaders of the men have ends of their own to compass, which are to be furthered only by a continuance of the strike, and that they do not hesitate, for purely selfish considerations, to sacrifice the best interests of their willing dupes. Bums himself to-day denies that he ever accepted the terms proposed, and insists that the men are certain to bring the dock managers to their senses, and that Thursday will see a complete victory for the men.. He says that the strikers had excellent reasons for r electing the compromise, by virtue of which the increased pay for which they contended was to be deferred until the 1st of January next The dock managers, he savs, were willing enough to end their troubles in this way, as this would give them over three months in which to prepare for the change, and long before the end of that time thev could have ousted every man, concerned in the agreement and filled the places of the men with others who would be perfectly willing to work at any terms offered them. The men. be says, are not to be caught by this sort of charl. They are well aware that they hold the whip-hand at present, and they will not consent to yield their advantage for a deferred advance of wages, tho fruits of which they are never likely to reap. The Lord Mayor of London, Bishop Temple and Cardinal Manning have written a Joint letter in which they recount the negotiations conducted by them with the dock companies with a view to the settlement ol the strike. They express surprise at the strikers' repudiation of the terms agreed to by the dock companies, and declare their opinion that if the men continue the strike they will forfeit the sympathy hitherto accorded them. The strikers held another large meeting in Hyde Park to-day. The proceedings were orderly. Mr. Burns, in a speech, declared it was a mistake to suppose that he had agreed to the proposal of the arbitrators. He invited the strikers to declare whether or not they would accept the proposal A loud shout of 'No" went up from the crowd. Mr. Burns, continuing, said the 6trike committee were prepared to hold out for three weeks more, but he believed the directors of the dock companies would concede the strikers7 terms before another week had passed. Mr. Tillet visited the Lord Mayor this evening and proposed new terms, to commence in October. The Lord Mayor demurred, but promised to use his best endeavors to persuade the dock directors to agree to the terms. It is probable that a compromise will 6oon be arranged on the basis of increased wages, beginning in November. The Lord Mayor told Mr. Tillet that he and Mr. Burns ought to have resigned when the men declined to accept tho compromise, llr. Tillet explained that the compromise was rejected because it would have, created difficulty with the wharfingers, who had already conceded six pence. PRINCE OF WALES TO RULE. A Question of Importance to Im Decided at the Meeting In Italy. LONDON, Sept a There is considerable speculation as to the meaning of the proposed meeting of royalties in Italy next month. The Empress Frederick will make her residence at the villa occupied by her mother last year at Florence, where she will t be visited by her ' 6on, the Emperor of Germany, and his wife, although tho objective point of this latter pair will ostensibly be Rome. Although great pains have been taken to keep the tact from the public, the Queen of Engl&nd will ioinher daughter aud her imperial grandson at Florence, where a matter of the highest importance, not onlv to Great Rritain, but to the world, will bo decided; This is nothing less than the proposal that Queen Victoria should abdicate in favor of the Prince of Wales. The Prince has been pleased to announce that his health has been much improved by quaffing the German waters, thus still further ingratiating himself with the Germans and their ruler, which it is his role to do now for the most powerful reasons. Their outward reconciliation at least is now complete, and the Prince has privately given it out that he intends henceforth to abandon all frivolous habits of life, discard all loose acquaintances, however entertaining, and conduct himself as becomes the heir to a throne nndoubtedly the most enviable of any in existence. Daughter and grandson are expected to impress this edifying resolution upon Queerj Victoria at the meeting of the trio in Italy, and another attack will bo made upon her to relinauish the cares of state, It is well understood that the reason that a former as sault failed was the old lady's vigorously expressed objection to seeing, putting it as delicately as possible, a person leading such a life as the Prince had led assume the regency over a peoplo accustomed at least to a virtuous court Now that he has determined to foreswear ballet girls aud professional beauties, abstain from baccarat and similar seductive games and accept only the society of the grave and learned, it is hoped that the last objections of tho Queen to retiring to private life will be overcome aud that she can conscientiously gratify her secret desire to pass her decliuiug years wherever she pleases in the companionship of her widowed daughter.
