A LUXURIOUS EXCURSION.

A Large Sumter cf Indianapolitans Enjoy the Hospitality of the C, II. & D. On Thursday nearly two hundred citizens of Cincinnati made a fashionable call it Indianapolis. Yesterday about the same number of Indianapolis people joined in returning the visit. The occasion of the interchange of interstate end intercity civilities was the trial of a new train put on by the Cincinnati, Hamilton fc Dayton management. The road itself is one of the pioneer lines between Indian&polis and Cincinnati, and so far as traditions are concerned no other line is entitled to more consideration from Indiana people. It is within the memory of persons now living when the trip from here to Cincinnati was made only by wagon, and under greatest difficulties. That it can be made now as easily as dozing in an after-dinner chair is due to modern improvements. Yesterday's excursion was intended as a trial trip for a new train put on by the C, H. 6c h people. The generous manner in 'which Indianapolis responded to the invitation showed at once an appreciation of the value of interstate-railroad facilities, and of a desire to see the fading beauties of the autumnal woods. The country never looked more beautiful and was never more thoroughly enjoyed than it was by the guests of the C, II. & D. road who made this trip. The trains are entirely new. the Cincinnati. Hamilton &, Davton fnrnishinir eitrht: the Louisville. New Albauy & Chicago the same number of cars, and ttaeTullman Pal-. ace-car Company, four sleeping coaches. The trains are each complete in construction. All are heated by steam, and can be lighted by electricity or gas, just which device th com panics see lit to choose. All are equipped with the most approved couplers and air-brakes and with Pullman's perfected safety: vestibules, and it - is claimed that trafus might collide at a speed of thirty miles an hour and the coaches would not telescope, so substantially are they built. The baggage, mail and express cars are sixty feet in length and of the latest design. The mail car is made from specitications furnished by the gov- . eminent. In the day trains the first coach is linished in antique oak and upholstered in red plush, and one of its special features is a regular tmoking-rooiu upholstered similar to Pullman sleepers, with a gentlemens' lavatory. Tho Indies coach is finished in mahogany and upholstered in gold plush. In this car a new feature is introduced. On-third of tho coach is partitioned oil' with spindle work across.it, forming an archway, which is handsomely draped, and which will make a pace in which a party of ladies can travel by themselves. Tho lavatories are of the latest design and will be a big card for the road. Next comes the combination parlor, dining and observation car, complete in every respect. The parlor and observation portion of the car is in the rear end oi tho train, and contains fifteen large upholstered eaav chairs. The rear windows are largo and of plate glass, and so arranged as to give a passenger a full view of the scenery as tho train moves along. Tho dining-room will seat twentyf our persons. The kitchen adjoins the dinning-room, and is nerfect in the way of cooking apparatus.' These dining cars are to be in charge of George Ohmer, and on each will be a foreman, two cooks and two waiters. The excursion train was made np of two of the trains above described. All jxre nainted the Pullman standard color," wi tn gold trimming. The side panels have the two trade marks (C. H. & D. and Mouon). the letters in gold with black back-ground. The baggage-rar and two tirst coaches rest on four-wheeled trucks with thirty-oight inch paper wheel. The parlor car rests on a six-wheeled truck with the same sized wheel. The excursion train yesterday was hauled by engine No. 128, Schenectady build, and at several different portions of the road hauled tho train at a speed of a mile a minute, and some miles were covered in less time. One thing deserves special mention. On each car appears in bold gold letters tho words "Cincinnati, Indianapolis &. Chicago," the management of the two roads making it a point that the name of Indianapolis should not be left out. The train left here at 10 o'clock a. m. and reached Cincinnati at about 1 o'clock r. m. An elegant lunch was served at 11 a. m., and a most satisfying dinner on the way home. These refreshments were a very satisfactory test of the culinary resouces of the train. Several officers of the road were on tho train assisting in the management, and it would be difficult to conceive how things could be made more pleasant. On reaching Cincinnati the excursionists marched in a body from the C, 1L fc 1). depot to the Chamber of Commerce, where a number of Cincinuatians had remained after call to meet them on the part of the Chamber of Commerce of that city, L. H. Brooks, president, made a fow remarks in the way of welcome, which was responded to by General Carnahan, of Iudiauapolis; W. E. Taylor, city attorney; Judge Study, of Kushville, and Judge v'andervcer, of Hamilton, who accompanied the excursionists from their respective cities. On the return trip an impromptu meeting was held, wuh the following result:. At a meeting of tho guests of the C, II. it D. Railroad Company, organized on board the special train from Indianapolis to Cincinnati, T. F. Haughey was chosen chairman and A. L. Mason secretary.

It was generally conceded that the liberality of the road in carrying citizens of Indianapolis to Cincinnati was only equaled by their liberality in bringing tncni home again. It was a sort of red-letter day. At tho Union Station three cheers were given for the management. CHURCH SERVICES TO-DAY.

SEVENTEENTH INDIANA BATTERY. x ' The Surviving Veterans Celebrate the AnnK Yersary of the Battle of Cedar Creek.

A number of tho survivors of the Seventeenth Hattery of Light Artillery held. a reunion in the City Court-room yesterday. There were only two dozen of the veterans present, but they appeared to be enjoying themselves. A number of ladies, the wives of these comrades, also attended the meeting. The Seventeenth Indiana Battery's greatest service was during its participation in the operations of Sheridan's army, beginning with engaging the enemy from Maryland Heights, July 4, 1864, and at nalltown, Aug. 24. In the grand movement against the forces of the rebel General Early the battery took part in tho battle of Opequan, tjept. 19; at Fisher's Hill, Sept 21; at Xew Market, Sept. 23, and at Cedar Creek, of which this meeting waa the anniversary, Oct, 19, in which this battery lost five men killed and fifteen wounrd, and twenty horses killed.

PROTESTANT EPISCOPALIANS. Committees Appointed and Thursday Fixed for Adjournment Liturgical Kevlsion. Xew York, Oct. 19. -Services were conducted in the house of deputies this morning by Rev. Campbell Fair, of western Michigan, assisted by the Bishop of Slontana. At 10:12 the house was called to order by the chairman, Dr. Dix. The chairman announced the names of the following deputies appointed on new committees of liturgical revision: Dr. Hart, of Connecticut; Dr. Taylor, of Springfield, and layman Robert A. Lamberton, of central Pennsylvania; on the place of holding the next general convention. Rev. W. X. McVickar, of Pennsylvania; Dr. Hattershall, of Albany; Mr. Elliott, of Massachusetts; Mr. Packard, of Maryland, and Mr. Doe. of Milwaukee. Messages from the house of bishops and regular reports of the standing committees were then read. The committee on the state of the church moved that a cheap form of the Prayer Book be authorized. The motion was adopted. The committee on constitutional amendments recommended tho passage of the resolution, referred to them some days ago, allowing a diocese to cede a part of its territory to the convention for missionary jurisdiction. Chancellor Woolworth. of Xebraska, who had brought the resolution before the convention, asked that its provisions be made to apply to his State. Ho gave a description of its physical features, and said its present condition rendered it impossible for the needs to be properly attended to. This motion was carried. A motion was made that the rules be suspended to allow tho houso to vote on tho question of adjourning on Thursday, Oct. 21. The question was put without discussion and carried unanimously. The House will hence adjourn on Thursday of next week, at 12 r. jr. The closing ceremonies will take place in tho morning. This leaves but three more full days for the transaction of business. : The House resumed the discussion of the Question of liturgical revision at 12 o'clock, lr. Hart moved to save time that tho committee of the whole be abandoned, and that tho House proceed to vote on each question finally. Much discussion followed, "but the resolution finally passed the House, but slightly amended. Dr. Hart then moved the adoption of the prayer for a person, or persons, on a journey. A motion was made to strike out the words "Grant him tho fruition of a just decision,7' and carried. Tho resolution was then adopted. The second alteration passed by the house of bishops, that there be inserted before tho collect for Ash Wednesday a rubric, providing that instead of the Venite shall bo sung, or said, the anthem from the selection of Psalms for holy days immediately before the Psalm, was lost. Dr. Hart then moved the adoption of the third section, providing rubrics, etc., before ofiertory senteuces on page VJ. of the "Book of Liturgical Revision." The motion was lost. The fourth amendment was then put before the house. For the first orl'ertory sentence it substitutes: "Remember the words of our Lord" Jesus Christ, how He said Tt is more blessed to give than to receive. n This was adopted. The llf ih alteration for an additional oflertory sentence beforo "Thine, O Lord, is the greatness." was not concurred in. The sixththat it Jta provided that the proper preface for Ascension day be used until Whitsunday, met the same fate. Dr. Hart then read the seventh amendment: "That in prayer of consecration, instead of the words 'that He may dwtill in them, and they in Him there be substituted 'that He may dwell in us, and .we in HiuiV The motion was declared carried. The next resolution was a great surprise to the majority of the deputies, it having passed the bishops but the evening preceding, and it was not believed that it would ;be acted upon before Monday at least. The 'change was in the communion service, and read thus: "There shall be no celebration of the Lord's supper except there be some to'communo with the priest." Dr. Huntington at once took the floor and moved that the house nou-concur. "The proposed rubric is thoroughly pernicious," he said. "It is bringing in under the cloak of liturgical rovision matters which should not come up before the house. It is precisely in line with the doctrine of the Church of Rome, add is proposed by those who are seeking tnj introduce the dogma of the Kucharist." Dr. Jibson, of Xew York, took issue with the speaker. He thought it one of the most desirable things that the holy communion should be restored to its primitive condition as the Christian paehover. The nfotion to non-concur was lost, Mr. Spaulding, of California, asked that the whole matter be postponed, and was voted down. Mr. Hall, of Massachusetts, protested acraint depriving a priest of his right to receive the sacrament whenjofficiuting in au isolated parish. The proposed rubric was defeated by the clerical vote of a majority of the lay deputies being clearly in favor of adopting the change. The balloting stood: Clerical yeas, 23; nays, 25; divided 1. Lay Yeas. 19; nays, 13: divided 3. The announcement was made that the house of bishops had refused to concur with the lower house in the adoption of a short otlico for sundry occasions, which had twico passed the latter body. Dr. Huntington immediately moved for the appointment of a committee of conference, which was granted. The house of bishops also decided not to concur in the proposed division of California, on the ground that such division was opposed by the majority of communicants in the diocese itself, and because there were not snfiicient resources to support such division in a new diocese. Inter-Seminary Mltiionary Alliance. Chicago, Oct. 19. Tho third day's ses sion of the American Inter-Seminary Missionary Alliance convention began this morning. The first paper was read by Mr. A. M. Elliott, of McCormick Seminary, in the absence of Mr. Franklin Pierce Lynch, of the International Medical Missionary Society, who had prepared the article on "The Work of the Medical Mi ssionary." "The Relation of Faith to Missionary Success" was the subject of tbo second paper, read by Mr. Edward L. Smith, of Yale Seminary. Both papers wero discussed at lencth. Rev. Dr. Shcdd, a missionary lately returned from Persia, occupied the remaining time of the morning session, with a talk on "Mission Life in Persia." At the afternoon session the work of tho convention ended. The committee on resolutions reported in favor of supporting the "students' volunteer missionary movement," and recommending the Soudan as an important missionary field. It also recommended the appointment of lay missionaries, aud especially medical missionaries, by the inissioniboards, deprecating all selfish motives and urging harmony among denominations in missionary work. Under the head of miscellaneous business Mr. Milliard, of the Chicago Seminary, presented the following resolution for adoption: Whereas, The United Btates law forbidding Chinese immigration is hurtful to missionary work in China. Resolved, That the United State Congress bo requested to repeal said law. The resolution fell like a bomb among the delegates, and before the chairman had time to call for remarks a half-dozen delegates had risen to their feet, each eager lor recognition from the chair. When they finally came to order it was fully demonstrated that Mr. Milliard's resolution did not meet with a very hearty approval from the convention.

Philadelphia North American. The statement that the number of Indians entitled to vote at the next presidential election will be twenty thousand calls attention to a new and important factor in politics. As only those Indians who receive allotments or lands in severalty become voters tho change will be gradual, but the manuer in which this vote will be distributed will be watched with interest by politicians of both parties. Th6ro is nothing to support the opinion expressed bv some that the vote will be thrown solidly. It may be, of course but it is likely that it will bo more dividftd than the negro vote. Tho ease with which the Indian takes hold of politics is illustrated in the Chickasaw Nation. The elections among these Indians are contested as hotly and with as important political principles at stake as those of the white man. The Chickasaws are as bitter in their party affairs as the most uncompromising Republican or Democrat, and . they are not much inferior to their white brethren in local legislation. With these Indians as an example, it is safe to say that any politician who thinks ho can handle the Indian vote in a lump will find himself mistaken. A Boom Goeth Before a Fall. Nebraska Journal.

SUDD UN DEATHS OF ACTOUS.

Tragic landings in the Tsst, Kren on ths Stage iUelf. NewTork Letter to the Hartford Tost. The audience at the Lyceum Theater 011 Tuesday night had a sensation of the most tragic character in the death of tha comedian, Charles B. llishop. This adds one more to the sad list of those, who have died on the stage, and which includes some onco noted names. In Great Britain. Palmer, who was almost a star, fell dead while playing before a Liverpool audience. Peg Woffington, while pla3ing Kosalind. was paralyzed and never recovered, iiho had just uttered tho words. Td kiss as many of you as pleased mo." when her voice was hushed and was never again heard on the stage. The once famous comedian Foote was also paralyzed while performing in his own comedy, The Devil on Two Sticks." and never recovered. Another case was that of Moody, who held respectable rank on the British stage, and whose last appearance was as Claudis in 'Measnro for Measure." Just as bo exclaimed. "Aye. but to die and go we know not where," he bank to the lloor and was borne off a corpse. James Bland, who also had a respectable position m the profession, expired in the Strand Theater. Edmund Kean afiords another very impressive instance. While playing Othello in London, iust as he exclaimed Oh, then, farewell," he fell into the arms of his son, (who took the role of lago). and he had just strength enongh to Fay, "Speak to them; Charles, I am dying." He was borne off and revived for awhile, but death soon closed his checkered career. Hanley, the comedian, became speechless on the 6tage after uttrinc the words ot Launcelot Gobbo, T fcav an exposition of sleep come over me," and he never spoko again. CummingR. who occasionally appeared in tragedy, expired while performing the role of Dnemcnt in Jaue Shore." Barrett, who was so mver in old men's rarts. died after playing Polouius, and was carried home a corpse, Mrs. Glover was struck with paralysis on the occasion of her farewell beneiit and dici three days afterward. Mrs. Linley, the .onV Popular vocalist, expired at. a concert wliilo singing "I Kuow that My Redeemer Liveth." A very remarkable occurrence of this kind took place at the llolli-day-steet Theater, Baltimore, in lb74. John irria. whilo playing a leading rolo in Lad.y Audley's Secret," was borne off the stago in a helpless condition, and died before morning. McCullough broke down on the sta'e in a manner that proved worse than death, or he only survived to become a lunatic, a.tnl rwr we have the shocking death of pooiT VHshop. A TENVHSSEi; rATKIAHCII. An Old GentlenA& n wlt'a a Iu-pe Family A Var .Iwetnlnlsceuce. New York M sll sad Exirss. General Alger tolcl of a queer and interesting customer wAam he met recently in Tennessee at a place named after himself. Anderson, and of whom .hei had recently bought 20,000 acres of timber land. The old gentleman lived in n large white housewith a big portico in Yront of it, and there were, dotted around jr ditierent fields other 6mall white aoiuacs. General Alger asked him: "How old are your Eighty-two.,r "Enjoying good health!" "Yes: very good." 'How many children hare yoitl" "Nursing the on e-hundred-and-forty-ninth great-grandchild now. I'll send and get him for you." 'What do you mean to sayf Onehundrod and forty-nine!" "res: 1 have baa twenty-seven chtidren ? and with children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren we are nursing the one-hnn-dred-and-forty-ninthnow, and Pll send aud get him for you." So the old gentleman sent ont to one of the small white houses in the cluster, and a very nice specimen of a hearty baby boy was brought in. The General asked him where he was during the war. "Right here, and the boyr. cheated me out of everything except a sow and two pigs which we kept in the cellarright under our parlor floor, and they were not found; but one day one of the bluecoated generals came along and asked me how many cattle I had. 'None at all,' I told him. 'None at all!' 'Not one,' said I. But I paid for that he about two days afterwards when those blue-coats found my herd of cattle and drovo them down here into this placo and began slaughtering them right before ray eyes. I interfered and ordered them tn 'Mnn that; rou'rft slaughtering my cows.' 'Oh, no said the f eneral, 'they are not yours; we have it rom yourown lips that you had no cows at all.' and they went right on and slaughtered the whole of them. I could never get a voucher for them, because 1 had said that I didn't have any, so I lost the whole herd." now a watch can travel. The Average Timepiece That Covers 6,570 Miles In Two Years. . New York Journal. Take a cylinder watch of the average size, for instance. A glanco at the movement shows, first of ail, a small cog-wheel moving rapidly back and forth, without completing the revolutions Every single swing of this balance-wheel ' is equal to about 72, or three-fourths of a revolution averages having been taken in all figures to bo adduced for the matter of convenience. The diameter of the balance-wheel is usually, in the average 6ize watch, 60ventwellths of an inch; the circumference, consequently, twenty-one-twelfths, or one . and three-quarters of an inch. The small point of resistance at the outer eriphery of the balance wheel consequenty covers with each swing a distance of 34 xl34 of an inch, which is equal to one and hvo-sixtoenths of an inch. An attentive observer will find by carefully watching tho second-band of the watch that there aro five swincs, or steps, in each second. That means 18,000 swings in an hour, or 132,000 in a day of twentyfour hours, says a writer in the Chicago Tribune. Consequently tho point of resistance covers iu a day 000x1 5-10 of an inch, or 5G8.GG7 inches, or feet, which is within a fraction of about one-fortieth, nearly nine miles. If a good watch runs two years without repairs, the point of resistanco has mado 6,570 miles without a stop. In an ancre movement of tho same size as the cylinder watch ref rred to, each swing of the balance-whee 5 twico as large. Each given point at " outer circumference of thebalanco-T -for thcro is no point of resistance ao ancro watchwould cover in tw r four hours a distance of eighteen, or m two years. 13.140 miles. At tnis rate it would take the balance-wheel, sometimes erroneously called escapement, about three years aud nine mouths to cover a distance equal to the circumference of the earth. Portrait of Zaclwiry Taylor. Washington Press. Secretary and Mrs. Blaino wero busy yesterday superintending tho arranging of the furniture in their new mansion, "The Bed House," onFifteenth-and a-half street. The Blaines have a very legant assortment of pictures, to many of which personal and historical reminiscences aro attached. One is particularly interesting.

It seems that Mr. Blaine stepped into a shooting gallery in an Eastern city, and whilo there noticed that the target was a portrait of Gen. Taylor. The fact of its being an especially pood likeness of tha old war horse attracttd the attention of Mr. Blaine, who thereupon examined it very closely. ThVpainting.' for such it was. had. been pretty well perforated by bullets, but Mr. Blaiue determined to get it if possible, and asked tho proprietor of the plsc what he would take for it. He said 07; for which price Mr. Maine purchased it. It was sent to a celebrated artist in Philadelphia, who made n copy of iu The original 19 also iu possession of tho Secretary of State.
