MARTIN. D. P. A. STAETL1NG DEPOSITIONS. Knights of Labor Charged with Crimes In Connection with the Missouri Facific Strike. St. Louis. Sept 127. It will be recollected that daring the great strike on the Missouri Pacific railroad system, in the spring of 1886, a freight train was wrecked near "Wyandotte, Kan., and two of its crow lulled, and that a number of Knights of Labor strikers were arrested, charged with the act. Ono of the arrested men, George Hamilton, was tried and acquitted, and the other cases were nollied. Subsequently Miko Leary and Kobert Geeis, two of the arrested Knights, brought suit against tho Missouri Pacific company for daniages for malicious prosecution, and yesterday depositions were taken here in this case by B. E. Waggoner, of Atchison, Kan., attorney for the Missouri Pacific. These depositions are given by Knights of Labor said to be more or less dissatisfied with the order, and it is allecred that they show that $ the order took the Wyandotte train wreckcrs directly under its protection and spent some $o0.0u0 of its general fund in their delense; also, that in a spirit of revenge over the failure of the strike, the Missouri carworks at JSt. Charles, Mo., and the Vandalia freight depot in East St. Louis, were destroyed by tire, and that a plan was devised to blow up tho bridge hero by floating a dynamite-laden bargo against it, but this "was not carried out. The names of tho actors in these events were given, and it was stated that men much higher in the ranks of Knights knew much about these things. In view of these statements it is said that Master "Workman Powderly and Secretary Hayes, when they arrive here next week, will bo put through tho affidavit mill, and that other members of the executive board will bo compelled to tell what they know. The testimony of other local Knights will also bo taken. Two or three local labor leaders, when seen in regart to the disclosures made in these affidavits. Raid that tho Knights of Labor court the fullest iuvestigation, and that the act of the railroad company is a bold case o bluft' intended to frighten other defendants from suing the road and also to scare Powderly from coming here to investigate various things in connection with the indorsement of Thomas Furlong, the applicant fur the position of head of fif tho United States secret service. " Fit Persons Drowned. Fall Kiver. Mam.. Sept. 27. Five persons were drowned this afternoon iu South Watuppa pond by tho capsizing of a rowboat.

An extraordinary suit is on tho docket of the Circuit Court for trial at an early date. WhenNilson Schimizchelwitz went on a visit to his relatives in Russia, last December, his life was insured in tho JEtna Life Insurance Com pany, in the gum of 7,000, the policy being made payable, in the event of his death, to his father. On Christmas night, while crossing the river Neva, Nilson drove into a hole that some priests in the Greek Church had cut in the icofor the purpose of immersing the imago of the Savior. After tho fathers had performed the ceremony they thoughtlessly left the hole in the ice without auv red lanterns or other danger signals, and Nilson drove in and was drowned. Iho body was never recovered: at least, thin is the story told by his father . when ho mado a demand for tho payment of tho policy. The officers of the corananv declined to pay. Suit was then commenced by the father, and if the case is pressed tho litigation is likely to bo expensive to both sides. If the company should set up a plea that the holder of the policy is still alive and in flesh, the other side will be compelled to prove to tho satisfaction of a jury that the river was actually frozen at tho time; that the priests actually cut the hole and immersed the image: that Nilson went into it, and that he never came put alive or was seen afterwards. FIGHT WITH TRAMPS. Short Battle with a Sheriff's Possee, in Which One JIan Receives a Fatal Wound. Marsiialltowx. la., Sept. 27. At Hol land, yesterday morning, J. N. Vennum, principal of tho school, wont to the depot at an early hour to meet his wife. Two rough looking men, who were there, after asking Vennum a few questions, began to threaten him, and finally drove him away. Vennum found tho constable and the two returned, the latter with a lautcrn, to ar rest tho miscreants, but they attacked tho constable, breaking the lantern and setting tho depot on fire. They escaped in tho darkness and tho fire was extinguished by tho citizens. They wero found at 10 o'clock at Keinbeck, in a box car. The sheriff, with three other citizens, de manded their surrender. They climbed out and started to escape, one of them shooting at the posse as he ran. Tho sheriff returned tholirenino shots being exchanged. The tramps were unhurt, but ono of tho bullets struck Archie Neal, an old resident, in tho neck, intlicting a fatal wound. Tho villains escaped in the excite ment but were pursued and captured sev eral hours later. Uiev gave their names as John White and Thomas Williams and are desperate-looking characters. When tho men wero caught they wero arraigned at Keinbeck merely on a charge of carrying concealed weapons and sent up for thirty days to await the result of Neal s injuries. An excited crowd had gathered. a rope was produced, and, but for an opportune train to this city, both men would Lave b?n lynched. Abe two men wero seen in jail this morning, vt imams refused to talk, but White finally acknowl edged having done all the shooting. He declared he shot only at the sherm and expressed regret over the hitting of Neal, in quiring anxiously as to his condition. Threatened Danger at Quebec. Quebec, Sept. 27. Another fissure is visible in the overhanging rocks and tho cliff is somewhat bulged out. Tho kioska at tho end of the Dutterin terrace is also inclining over gradually. It is the general opinion that a couple of days more of rain or a night's frost will result in another landslide. Notwithstanding this thecitv authorities are having a roadway built over the fallen rocks, just as if there was not the least danger. Two liar 5 of Silver llnlllon Stolen. Hklkna, M. T,. Sept, 27.

A "XICGElVMIATEXt.' Captain Kello;;c of tho Ossipee, Refuses to Take Minister Douglass to Hayti. Fpeclal to the TnAiananolts Journal. Washington. Sept. 27. The United States steamer Dispatch arrived here last evening for tho purpose of carrying Minister Fred Douglass to Fortress Monroe, where he was to haye taken the Ossipee for Hayti, but Mr. Douglass will not go to Fortress Monroe to-morrow, and will'not sail in the Ossipee for his post at all. Tho commander of the Ossipee is Captain Kellogg, who is a rank Democrat. In Mr. Kcllogg's make-up there is a very strong vein of animosity toward tho negro race, and this caused the commander to emphatically refuse to carry Mr. Douglass on his vessel. Ho said that his officers did not care to associate with a colored man, and that he himself would absolutely decline to sit in. the mess with a "nigger." lie, tnereiore telegraphed to be released from the command of the vessel, and his request has been granted. The command was transferred to Lieutenantcommander Evans, who has suddenly discovered that tho boilers of the Ossipee are in such a condition that he would not dure to take her to eea unless thev shall first be thoroughly overhauled. Or course, the Navy Department cannot think of sending the othcers of .the navy to sea in an unseaworthy ship and they are averse also to risking the life of the new minister to Hayti in such a vessel. The consequence is that the minister will not sail in the Ossipee, and as there is no other vessel which is immediately available he is to re main hero until the kearsargo can be made read3' lor sea. When this is done Mr. Douglass will sail in that vessel from New York. ritErAIUXO FOR CONGRESS. The Capitol Receiving a Thorpugh. Cleaning, Repainting and Refurnishing. ' Special to the IndiananoUs Joarna Washington, Sept. 27. This was a climax of house-cleaning days at theCapitoL That very spacious building whi:h shelters Con gress was topsy turvy throughout the hun dreds of committee-rooms, tho two legislative chambers and the miles of broad corridors and lobbies. A smell of fresh paint greeted the visitor at every step, while there were bare floors and an absence of furniture, where carpets, desks, chairs and lounges and all kinds' of conveniences wero a few days since. It is customary to recarpet, repaint and revarnish the cham bers and committee-rooms at tho Capitol every two years, just before the beginning of every new Congress. New furniture needed is put in, and the worn furniture reupholstered and revarnished. lhe Capitol Building has three business floors, besides a basement. It is the length of two ordinary blocks, or squares, in the average city, or about 700 leer, by tho length of one block in width. Through iti center, on every jtloor, is a broad corridor, and on every hand are committeo-rooiis. To clean, repaint, revarnish and refurnish a building of these dimensions requires some work and some money. liundrrds of men were engaged to-day. Thousands of yards of old carpets were taken up and carted away to be sold at auction aUar-loaus of worn furniture was treatel in the same way. A few days hence near articles will come to give the dingine& of the place newness. With tho ihconing of the Kepublican Congress and Republican admin istration a new broom 's applied at the Capitol, and there will bo cleanliness which is next to cod 1 fa ess. Healthful legislation should follow.; Very few people were loitennc around the House t-day. A little knot of statesmen, nnong whom were Kepresentatives McMilhn, of Tennessee, and Bynuin, of .Indiana. were, congregated, with Postnaster Dalton, in the House postoftice, teling stories. Three or four waiters and theiook stood around in tho House and Senae restaurants, but they had no customed. There were but half a dozen employes ahput the Senate. Oulv ten senators aU in town.

Members oj the Houso will also find a better attiosphero to breathe, whether or not tho1 deserve it.

Boynton, tho wellbown Washington correspondent, has j$t returned from a visit to Ohio, where ho ;losely observed the working and stud ied ho issues of tho impending campaign. Ho iys of the outlook: "When Foraker was firi nominated I thought ho was liable to b defeated. Ho has an immense populaiiy in the party, but there are a number o Republicans in the State who do not !ikbini, and who seemed likely not to vote fonim. They would not havo voted the Deiixratic ticket, but would have either scrtched or not have voted at all. But whenhe Dayton convention came oil a lot of tht crowd which both parties had put dotr for election trickery and fraud attendecthe convention and pressed themselves fothe front. They were for Campbell, anddoubtless had much to do with his gettig the nomination We have put down all Jat old corruption in politics.

Democrats My Carry Montana, bnt the Other tica Are Safely Republican. Fperial to thAThanapolis Journal. Washixot,, Sept, 27. Mr. F. A. Carl, the correspouent of the St, Paul Pioneer

Fress, has just returned from a trip through

the w est. chielly n the new btates. He is one of the best informed men in Western . political matters, and has been making a careful observation of atlairs in the new States. He says he does not think the Democrats havo a chance to get anything out of - the October elections,- except in Montana. There he thinks they will elect tho Governor, and if thero is perfect harmony in the party they will get tho Legislature, but he has no doubt that the Kepnblicans will elect " the congressional liepresentative. While there is an appearance of great harmony among the Democratic leaders now, he thinks ho sees where there is liable to be a eplit over the question of the senatorship. If such a split occurs, the Kepnblicans will get the Legislature, otherwise, ho thinks the Democrats will get the Senators. The Democrats, he says, think they are going to get the Legislature in Washington Territory, but ho does not think they are. WILL VIIT INDIANAPOLIS.

The Old Seward House, aa It Has Been Fitted Up for Secretary Blaine's Family. Ececlal V th IndlananoUs journal. Washington, Sept 27. Secretary Blaine is spurring the workmen engaged in fitting up his house on Lafayette square with a view to take possession by Oct. 1. It is his idea and that of Mrs. Blaino to have Mr. and Mrs. Emmons Blaine as guests after the hoaeymoou and prior, to the young couple going to Baltimore, where Mr. Blaine is engaged in business pursuits. The old Seward house, where the Blaines will entertain this win ter, is a typical New En gland mansion, tho effect being heightened by the coat of red paint with which the house has been recently touched up, while the interior is one of the roomiest and most comfort-inviting of the many hospitable residences ot public men at the capital. Then, too, from the 6outh the windows look out npon a broad expanso of velvety green sward, for the grounds of tho Department of Justice run up to the wooden fence which keeps intruders off tho premisos of tho Secretary of State. ; Proposed Monument to Mrs. Hayes.

Chicago, Sept 27. Ignatz N. Morgenstein. until last week general secretary of the Polish National Alliance of North America, has left tho city and taken with him all the funds of tho order. Morgenstein was also secretary of the Polish National Building and Loan Association, and the financial manager cf the Segoda, an influential Polish weekly paper, and acted as an agent for real estate owners and as a passage and transportation agent. It is believed that he has embezzled from the building association, the newspaper and the real estate owners and passage agents. The amount of money lie has taken away with him is variously estimated. Some say he has stolen $12,000. The Polish National Alliance of North America is a confederation of all the Polish political and benevolent societies on this continent Nearly fifty societies are included in the alliance, and represented in the convention. Morganstein has been the general secretary for several years. The annual convention convened last week in Buffalo, and Morganstein was a candidate for a third term as secretary. There was a vigorous opposition, and several responsible Poles openly charged that Morganstein was a swindler and had collected money for endowments on deaths that had not occurred. Ho was given time to prepare a defense against the charges. On Friday, the last day of the convention, he answered by producing vouchers for every dollar he had paid. It is now supposed that these papers wero forged. When the matter was brought to vote Morgenstein was defeated and Constantino Mallek was chosen general secretary. The ex-secretary returned to Chicago that night, and next day went to E. S. Drver & Cos Bank and drew out $3,116 held in trust for the Polish Alliance. It is supposed he took whatever funds he held for the building association. Tuesday morning ho was seen on the way to the depot with his wife. A person who met him asked him where he was going, and Morganstein aswered that he was not going away himself, but was escorting Mrs. Morganstein to the Wisconsin Central depot. Wednesday the newly-elected secretary called to take charge of t the alliance books and discovered that his predecessor had flown. He communicated with his brother officers, and it was determined to keep the matter a secret. This afternoon, however. Joseph O&uch, a former president of tho alliance, took out a warrant for Morgenstein's arrest Two Polish saloonkeepers are on Morgenstein's bond. Alderman Kowalski may. however, bo the one to suffer, sinco he is the treasurer of the alliance, and ho had authorized Morgenstein to draw out the money-in Dreycr & Co.'s bank as it might be needed. : . FIVE VlOIiEXT DEATHS.' Two Fatal Accidents and Three Murders in a Southern County in One Day. . Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 27. Death has reaped a harvest in Jeflcrson county today. This morning Georgo Estes got caught in tho fly-wheel of a rolling-mill at Gate City and was beaten to pieces. Ho leaves a family. . To-day Wm. Benton, an employ of tho Pullman Car Company was walking backward behind a car in the Georgia Pacitio yards. The car was disconnected and moving slowly and he was trying to stop it with a crowbar. He fell across the track and his body was cut in two. Deputy Sheriff King Vann went out this morning to arrest a negro named John Steele, at Walker's Station, a few miles from the city on tho Enslee dummy line. In sight of a dummy-load of people John defied arrest, and killed Vann with a double-barreled shot-gun. Vann leaves a wife and four little ones. The negro lied, but a posse caught him a mile or two away, making for Ked mountain. His dead body, riddled with bullets, is now undergoing investigation at the hands of tho coroner. A telephone message from Pratt Mines says: "John Maxwell, alread3' under 10,000 bond for murder, has just killed a negro woman, and reporters have gone to the scene to investigate." Lateii.

The Nun Evidently Mistaken in ChargingJohn Murray, of Terre Haute, with the Crime. Edoc1.i1 to th TnlianaiKlis JonmaL Tekre Haute, Ind., Sept 27. There is something wrong in the report from Emporia, Kan., that Sister Camillo had been brutally assaulted there by John Murray, whose alleged unwelcome attentions at the hospital here, some mouths ago, caused her to ask to be removed. Tho Emporia account of the assault says that Sister Camille recognized Murray, and told how ho could be recognized by his maimed hand, on account of which ho was in tho hospital. Murray is here, and has been hero steadily, in the employ of tho Vandalia road. Wednesday night he was the switchman at the Union Depot. He says ho cannot understand what it all means. A special from Emporia, Kan., says that Sister Camillo who was no brutally beaten at Sacret Heart Convent Thursday afternoon, is couscious. Sho says her assailant is Murray, but does not know his first namo. She also says she was persecuted by him in Terro Haute, until she was obliged to leave. He was a brakeman and met her there in a hospital. Then he attempted to make love to her and presisted until, at her own request, she was transferred to Emporia. He followed her there, and on three different occasions sneaked into tho school building and attempted to kill her because she refused to go with him. Ho said he would kill her if ho died for it. Ollicers are in pursuit of Murray. Women as Highway Robbers. New York, Sept. 27. The novelty of seeing two women arraigned for highway robbery was one of the features of the proceedings in the Tombs Police Court to-day. Early yesterday morning Samuel Whittler, a molder by trade, was passing through Battery Park. Without any ceremony the women gave him peremptory orders to go along with them. Whittler refused, whereupon the amaons seized him by the hands, knocked him down and took f0 cents in small chanse from his pocket. The molder. who comes from Jersey City, lustily cried 'Police." The women were arrested and at once disgorged the proceeds of the robbery. They gave their pedigrees as Mary Fitzsimmons, aged tifty-ix years, and Mary Ann Beals, aced thirty-five years.
