Bloodj and Fatal Assault on a Farmer by . Drankn Hand. fipeclal to the Indianapolis JournaL . Muxcie, Sept. 29. For four years past John Smiley, aged forty-five and unmarried, haa resided with Benjamin Anthony, a prominent farmer, four miles north of here. Smiley did not at all times work there, but seemed attached to the family and was permitted to call It his home. Saturday be camo to this city and became crazed with intoxicants. Going home about midnight, he seemed bent on murder, for he picked up a large ax from the wood-pile before entering the sitting-room where Mr. Anthony and wife slept, taking it withhim. After entering the room he sat down by the BtOTO and commenced pounding on the Hoot with the ax, which caused his employer to ask him to desist. This remark seemed all that was necessary to provoke a murder, as the drunken brute at once sprang at the man in bed, uttering an oath and crying, "Don't you say anything or I'll kill you.'' At the same timo he made a murderous strode at the man, as if to decapitate him, and the first blow was only prevented from being successful by Mr. Anthony throwing up his arm, warding oil the blade of the ax, the side of which badly mashed his skull. The wife and baby screamed as the murderer rained several blows on his senseless victim, until the wife and her mother, Mrs. Hearsley pluckily disarmed the wretch and put him out of the house, since when he cannot be found. Besides Mr. Anthony's head being crushed, one shoulder is badly cut, while a large gash two inches deep was made in one hip. Smiley formerly resided at Marion, where it is thought he has gone, but as yet numerous searching parties cannot locate him, and it is thought by many, after realizing his horrible deed, he has committed suicide. Anthony's condition is pronounced fatal. Race Discrimination Approved by a Jury. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL E van s v I LLC, Sept. 29.

Tbo sellers o tiered him a ticket to the colored gallery, lie refused it and demanded a reserved seat, the best one in the house, for which he was charged $100. Sheldon left the boat, went up town and pawned sufficient jewelry for the amount, returned, purchased a reserved-seat ticket and entered, but remained only a few moments, lie left and immediately filed suit for $100, and damages in like amount under the civil rights law. The case has been on trial for the past rive days, some of the ablest lawyers in the State being pitted against each other. The iury to-night found for the defendant Robinson. Killed by a Boiler Explosion Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Peru, Sept. 29. A boiler explosion in a tile-mill at Deedsville, a small town north of this city, this morning, killed Charles Deeds, a young man, his head being blown into fragments, besides seriously injuring George Abbott and Elijah Shoemaker, other employes. The building was completely wrecked, and fragments of the boiler were found three squares away. Deeds was sitting near the boiler at the time of the exI loion. - The other two men and Richard wobbins, engineer and owner, was some distance away. Robbins was unhurt.

The night watch discovered smoke issuing from the windows and gave the alarm. The fire was extingnished after several prisoners had been nearly suffocated.

Ed Robeson and Xewton Leach, who started the blaze, will be prosecuted for arson as soon as their present terms have expired. Terre Haute Water Kates.

A team of mules ran away with tho boy, and he was thrown out of the wagon against a tree. Then the wagon-wheel struck and ground him against the tree.

A CHECK FOR A MILLION. How Partners Rockefeller and Andrews Parted Company. Carpenter's Letter. , Rufus P. Ranney. of Cleveland, one of the most distinguished lawyers in this country, once told me of a check for $l,C00.00u which was given by John Rockefeller. It was drawn in favor of Sam Andrews, another coal-oil millionaire, and was accepted by Andrews only becauee he was too proud to refuse it. Rockefeller and Andrews were poor youne men in Cleveland together twenty or thirty years ago. Iu connection with Flagler and others the3 organized the Standard Oil Company and at once began to make monoy and grow rich. Rockefeller in some way got the start of Andrews and Andrews was very jealous of his growing power and wealth. He tried to outshine Rockefeller in everything ho did. and when Rockefeller put up a big house in Cleveland, Andrews put up a bigger one, bringing artists from Italy to do the fine work in it, aud making one of tho finest residences west of the Alleghenivs. Then Rockefeller bought a country seat near Cleveland and Andrews bought another, and so the strife went on. When Rockefeller was made president of tho Standard Oil Company Andrews became very jealous, and in order to show his own importance he came, in one day asked Rockefeller how matters were getting along. Mr. Rockefeller said everything was going all right, and Mr. Andrews asked for a look at the books of the company. "Yon can't see the books just now," said Rockefeller, "but if you come in in a day or two I will have a statement made out for you." A few days later Sam Andrews came in again and asked for tho books. In reply he was handed a long sheet of paper covered with figures which he was told was a statement of the condition of tho Staudard Oil Company. He looked at it, and as ho did so, his fate got red and his eyes grew angry. 'This is uot what I want, Mr. Rockefeller," said he. 1 waut to seo the books of tho Company. If I can't see the books I want to sell my stock." "What will you take for your stock!" replied Mr. Rockefeller, very coolly reaching for his checkbook. "I want just Sl.OOO.aK) cash," said Andrews. "All riht. you shall have it." replied tho president of the standard Oil Company, and he therefore wrote out a check for 1.000,000 for Mr. Andrews. Andrews had to take it or back down. . He was ashamed to refuse, and he had for tho next few months all he could do in trying to invest that 81,000,000. He put, I think, .i00,000 in government bonds, and scattered the rest here aud there. Wrecked by Striking a Cow. Dr.s Moines. la., Sept. 29. A disastrous wreck occurred yesterday near ' -Eldorado Junction. A freight train struck a cow at tho approach of a high trestle and nine cars and the engine were plunged into the ravine. The wreck caught fire and everything was burned.

The Fowlers have made arrangements by which they will temporarily occupy the Allerton slaughter-house. They slaughter almost exclusively for the English market, and the throwing on the market here of hogs which would have gone to them had they 4 been working caused a drop of 10 to 20 cents per 100 weight in the price of light hogs. The ag gregate insurance on the Fowler buildings is $100,000; on contents, $561,000. Much of the property thus covered is only slightly damaged.

THE ANTI-SLAVERY TREATY. is of tlft C Provisions of tlte Convention Between Nearly All of the World's Civilized Towers. Springfield Republican. The United States is about to take such part in tho groat results of opening Africa to civilization as it properly can. seeing that it cannot, like almost all the European powers and some of the Asiatic, possess territorial interests in the dark continent. Representative John F. Andrew has presented to the House at ft ashington a report from the committee on foreign atlairs concerning the' slave trade in Africa, which closes with a resolution requesting tho President to take steps toward the participation of this country m its suppression, in accordance vith tho convention at Erussells in which we joinod last summer for that purpose. That couvention-was entered into by the sovereigns or executive officers of Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Spam, Portugal, the Congo State.ithe United States, the French republic. Great Britain, Italy, Holland. Persia, Kussia, Swedeu and Norway, the Ottoman empire (Turkey) and Zanzibar. It is one of the most important instruments of civilization produced in the century which has known British emancipation and the proclamation of Abraham Lincoln. In every respect it is admirable, in its opening statement of principles, its description oi the territory to be covered, the work to be done and tne means to do it, by operations on both land and sea, and tho detailed provision of the machinery for the work. Such a convention is statesmanship, and if tbe Enropean powers would enter into a convention as careful as this with respect to their international problems, and be iaithful to it, there need never come that war which the world is always dreading to see break out. One misses from the list of nations engaged the liberty-loving Swiss, but thts is the only nation of Europe not pledged' by the treaty to take part in the redemption of Africa; and in Asia the Shah and the Sultan, in both of whose domains slavery yet exists, are equally engaged to suppress the (African tratho in slaves. Tho conference whereat this convention was made owes its initiation to the enlightened Leopold, of Belgium, who is also sovereign of the Congo State, in agrooxuent with the government of Great Britain, which thus sustains its noble traditions of leadership. Its object is stated in this comprehensive phrase: ''Equally animated by tho firm intentions of putting an end to the critntfA aud devastations engendered by tbe trallice in African slaves, protecting effectively tho aboriginal populations of Africa, aud insuring for that vast continent the benefits of peaco and civilization." Tho convention declares that tho methods to be employed are ''progressive organ

ization of the administrative, judicial, religious and military services in the African territories placed under the sovereignty or protectorate of civilized nations;" the establishment of military stations, the construction of roads, especially railways; the development of steam navigation and of telegraph lines; the protection of all these by military expeditions and llying columns; the restriction of tho importation of tirearras. Stations, and cruisers and ports are also to serve as refuges for the native populations, to diminish interior warfare, to initiate and encourage farming and Indus tries; to, in tine, civilize tbo peoples, to protect all religions missions, to provide sanitary service and to help explorers. In order to bring about these results tho contracting powers are to enact, within a year from tho date of signing, penal laws, or extend such laws already enacted. Every provision is made for the liberation and protection of slaves, either returning them to their own lands or settling them wherever they shall be liberated. The provisions against distributions of tire-arms and ammunition are minutely made, and these provisions are to remain in forco for twelve years, and after that, if no contracting power withdraws, for two 5ears more, and so on, for periods of two years. There are elaborate details in respect to preventing the trans Sort of slaves by land or sea, but especially y sea, for every precaution is to be taken as to registry and inspection, and authorization by a representative of ono of the signatory powers in tbe shipping of black men4 this extendingto every tishing vessel; and with regard to all vessels in the specified waters the right of search is asserted and the verification of required documents is decreed. Provisions are made for the trial of the cases of all vessels offending against the provisions of the convention. On tho part of tbe contracting powers in whose countries domestic slavery exists, "the Emperorl of the Ottomans," the Shah of Persia and the Sultan of Zanzibar consent to give their earnest and effective support to these repressive measures against the slave trade. There are restrictive measures against the traffic in spirituous liquors; wherever their use does not exist, their importation is to be prohibited; where it does exist, heavy excise duties are to be laid. An international office is instituted at Zanzibar, where each of the signatory powers may be represented by a delegate. Other powers may signify their adhesion to this general act, and notifications of adhesiou are to bo sent to the King of the Belgians. This agreement leaves nothing to be desired,.! f the signatory powers carry it out in good faith. It rests with a few powers how efficacious it should bo with Great Britain, fortunately, tirst of alli.then with Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, the Sublime Porte and the sovereign of the Congo State. Perhaps the German authority on the east coast has been maligned in the dispatches that represented it as encouraging the slave' trade. But the conduct of German officials and expeditionary forces has not been encouraging, and has beeu in strong contrast with the British and Belgian intluence. The part tho United States has to tako in the matter of suppressing tho slave trade is the same it formerly took in support of Great Britain, when it was certainly a very efficient second. The resolution which closes the foreign affairs committee report is a joint one of both houses, and states "that the President be requested to enter into such arrangements as he may deem suitable and proper. with one or more of .the maritime powers , of .Europe for the suppression of the .African slave trade." The carrying out of this service to humanity and the progress of the world may atl'ord eraplo3'ment to our splendid new "white squadron" of cruisers, a far nobler employment than they could rind in any war, and which would afford our country a better fame than it could possibly gain in war., if glory be counted by value instead of by show. " BENNETT AND GREELEY.

Trials the Great Editors Had with "Intelligent Compositors." Seattle Press. . During bis variod career Mr. Charles Prosch, of Seattle, was for eoino time in New York. There ho knew the cider Bennett and Horace Greeley. That was fifty years' ago, but Mr. Prosch remembers the incidents of that long ago as though they happened yesterday, lib can tell many amusing anecdotes of the famous editors. Bennett was very much annoyed by tbe mistakes constantly occurring in tho Herald. When he complained about them to the foreman he wa3 always told: "Oh, that was done by a sub." Tho old man was quite caloric, and one day a mistake worse than usual occurred. He hastened up the stairs to "jump on" the foreman, and ran into a printer coming down the dark passageway. "Who are you?" he demanded, after he had recovered from the shock of the contact. "I am a sub on the Herald," was the reply. "Then you are the blankety blank fellow who makes all the mistakes in my paper." was the irato rejoinder. "Get out of here, quick" and with that he raised his ponderous foot and administered to the unfortunate printer a kick which sent him headlong to the foot of the stairs. Mr. Bennett was not troubled so frequently by mistakes after that. Editors in that day, according to Mr. Proschj-jwore rather belligerent. One day Horace Greeley was pacing up and down in his sanctum, which was directly beneath the composing-room. There was a knotbole in the lloorof the composing-room, and one reckless printer, unable longer to resist the temptation, took a huge quid of tobacco from his mouth, and taking careful aim dropped it through the knot-hole on tho bald bead of the deeply thinking editor below. Stopping a moment in stupefaction, Greeley rushed up the stairs three at a bound, and slamming open the door cried, with a burst of pyrotechnic and picturesque profanity: "I can lick the blank-blank who threw that quid" but the printer had hurriedly disappeared and the editor ealmed down. The knot-hole was immediately boarded over. The Yirtue of llobson. Toledo Commercial. Seeing that they cannot divert the United Status lioru its protective policy by raising alarms, by threats, or any other means in thoir power, the British press has fettled down into the more reasonableattitude that the McKinley tariff bill is not as bad as it has been made to appear. Resignation to the inevitable may not bo a virtue, but it is a good substitute. CopjTicnt,lS90. " AU on one side tlio offer that's made by the proprietors of Dr. Sage's . Catarrh Remedy.
