There was a long discussion over tho manner of bringing the matter bo-

fore the house. Some deputies claimed that the matter could bo brought before the houe bv reconsidering

the vote already taken. rinally. Dr. Dix, who presided, ruled that the mat ter could. be put before tho houss in the form of the re port of the committee on finance. The roll of dioceses was then called, and it was found that there were only eighteen dioceses in favor of receding from their for mer action aud thirty dioceses against it Two dioceses were evenly divided in the votes of their deputies, fco the houso or deputios sent back tho resolution of the house of bishops without its approval.

The proposal was received with unanimous approval. The secretary's report shows that churches have been added to the roll in three years, reaching a total of 4,508. The largest gain has been in the Dakotas. South Dakota reports two more churches than both recorded in 1886, and north Dakota renorts a train of fiftvtwo.

Special to tit Indianapolis Journal. Danville. IlL,Oct.O. The Kimber M. E. Church, of this city, is In trouble. Tho Rev. L. I. Coultas. who has served them as pastor some two years, has had a call from St. Paul, Minn., and has tcccptod. In September, at tho annual conference held at Quincy, Mr. Coultas asked for a transfer, which would have been consummated had it not been for tho presiding elder of tho St. Paul Church, who was opposed to foreign ers coming into his conference and getting the best places. So the matter has rested until yesterday, when a telegram came stating that all opposition had been withdrawn, and that the pastor of the St. Paul Church would come to Danvillo aud succeed the Rev. Coultas. The Kimber folks are not suited with this arrangement, and have detemined that, although thev. as much as they are attached to their pastor, will cousent to his leaving, yet they are bitterly opposed to any one being sent to them without their asking, and have de termined to close tho doors of the church until next fall nnless they can find some one exactly suited. Aa Kimber Church ranks as one of the bet charges in the btate, the result is looke d forward to with considerable interest. esn?ciallv by churchgoing people. The Rev. Coultas leaves for his new appointment to-morrow. United Presbyterian Synod of the West. f?eclal to the IntlanaixIis Journal. Bloomington, Ind., Oct. 9.

Tho Ministers' Al liance, composed of clergymen of every denomination, has taken hold of the Sun day closing law in earnest and has ap pointed a committee to raiso funds for the prosecution of the violators. For a time during the summer tho authorities attempted to enforce the law against saloonkeepers, but the refusal of the police judge to inllict more than a nominal penalty rendered tho attempt useless. Tho ministers' committee proposes now to see that the law is enforced not only in tho cases of the saloons but also against all classes of busi ness. . A Corrupt Jury Foreman. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 9.

Washington, Oct. 9. In tho claim of John H. Lunderville, late a privato in Company K, Tenth Vermont Volunteers, on appeal from theCommissionerof Pensions, Assistant Secretary Bnsscy to-day rendered a decision in which he reviews and rescinds tho "order" which was issued by the Commissioner on April 25, 18bt, and which abolished tho rating of -S3 per month and established for the same the sum of 4 per month, in all cases dating from March 27, 1SS9. Tho . Assistant Secretary, in his review of the aforesaid order, addressing tho Commissioner, saj's: "It appears that pending the report on this appeal the chief of tho law division of your otlice referred the case to the medical referee for an opiniou as to whether, under the present practice of the Bureau of Pensions, tho claimant is entitled to any advanco of tho rate ($2) for chronic diarrhoea. In response to this request, the medical referee in a slip, dated May 8, 18M0, says: In accordance with an order from the Commissioner he is entitled to 4 from March Ml. lStf).' I find by reference to a communication, dated the 2d inst.. and addressed by tho acting Commissioner to the Secretary of tho Interior, that the order referred to in the foresaid slip is as follows: "April 25, 1889. Order. In nil eses where a pensionable disability is found, liie rate allowed shall not be less than .4 per month, to date from and including March 27, 1889. Jam 4 Tannkk, Commissioner. "The foregoing order of tho Commissioner 6cems to be the only ground upon which the proposed incrcasp of claimant's rating (fc3 lor chrome diarrhoea) is to be based; but the question ' arises, is tho order itself consistent with tho established precedents of the department, or in conformity with the methods whereby a pensionable rating having been conferred upon a claimant may thercaiter bo legitimately modihed by increasing or otherwise changing the same. A careful consideration of the inquiry impels me to answer in the negative. The error of tho above-mentioned order, issued by the late Commission of Pensions, is manifest, and the rescinding of it necessarily follows. It has neither tne color of law nor the authority of precedent. If, however, it appears to yon in the light of medical examination, that the pensioner is entitled to an increased rating lor an increase of disability from chronic diarrhrea you will proceed to adjudicate his claim according ly." Needs of the Chicago Fostofilce. Washington, Oct. 9. The report of the Postal Commission, of which First Assistant Postmaster-general Clarksonis chairman, recently appointed by the Postmastergeneral to examine into and report upon the postal needs of Chicago, was made public to-day.

Harris removed; Round drove. White county, Mary E. Crose, vico J. II. Stotts resigned. Indiana Counterfeiter Denied Pardon. Washington, Oct. 9. Tho President has commuted to six months' imprisonment the sentence imposed in the case of Wm. Fearn, convicted in the district of Illinois of violating the postal laws. He denied the application for pardon in tho case of Frank Young, convicted in Indiana of passing counterfeit money. Mrs. lva Hamilton's Latest Story. New York, Oct. 9. Mrs. Eva Hamilton has been talking to reporters again, and an entirely new story is the result. She gives her side of this extraordinary scandal and tells how she met Robert Ray Hamilton, was married to him, and how, to prevent "Josh" Mann from telling her husband of her past life, she submitted to their blackmailing schemes. She says she was an actress onco and was with the Florences for a time. She says she did not want to marry Hamilton, but was forced to do so by Mann and his mother, and that that worthy couple profited more by the marriage than she did. Sho insists that sho still loves Hamilton and believes that they would have lived happily had it not been for Mann and his mother. She protests that she is not as bad as the newspapers would make her out, and most of the stories about her are pure fiction. Mrs. Hamilton still says that Beatrice is her child, aud explains the purchase of babies by Mrs. Swinton by saying that they were for another woman. Higher Prices for Oysters. Camhridge, Md., Oct 9.Tho high prices of oysters in the shell, owing to their scarcity, has made it necessary for packers to put up prices, and, looking to this end. there was a meeting of peniusula packers at Seaford, yesterday, at which members of twenty-five firms, representing the trade in Cambridge.

DunuQUE, la., Oct. 9. The steamer Silver Crescent made her trial trip, yesterday, with a new feathering stern wheel. The trial was entirely satisfactory. With only 140 pounds of sieam pressure tho boat made eighteen miles an hour against tho current, the wheel revolving only twentythree times a minute. Iustead of tho sixteen paddles or buckets usual on river steamers, this wheel has only ten. Ryan , ingenious system of cog-wheel gearing.

these paddles always strike the water vertically and pass through it horizontally, leaving it again iu a vertical position. The old wheels, with stationary paddles, enter the water with the buckets at an angle of forty-five degrees, striking the surface with a force that jars the whole boat. With the new wheel there was uo perceptible iar when the boat was running fifteen miles per hour. Tho paddles on the old wheels also leave the water at an angle, carrying a great bulk of water np with theiu. With the new wheel there is no power lost in this way. It is estimated that the new wheel will save one-third of the total power now necessary to run a boat.
