Assignment of Fleming Bros., Dealers in Pro . prietary Medicines Liabilities, $250,000. PiTTSBURO, Oct. 4. Business circles "were greatly excited here this morning by the announcement that the notes of Fleming Brothers, amounting in all to some 50.000. had been protested last night. The Fleming Brothers are extensive manufacturers and wholesale dealers in proprietary remedies, and have business dealings all over the country. The protested notes are the regular commercial paper of the concern, and are protected by their properties. JohnL. Keno, a well-known insurance man, has been appointed assignee for the firm. Their estimated liabilities amount to $250,000, frith assets of at least $1,000,000. It is contidently stated by business people here that the affair will be adjusted and the tirm go on as usual, as the only liabilities pressing are the notes mentioned, which are held by different parties. The explanation given by the firm for the assignment is as follows. The members are two brothers. Kid and Cochran Fleming. For some time past the wife of Kid Fleming has been hanging between life and death, her demise being expected at 'any time. Her husband has been devoted to her. to the entire exclusion of all business matters. Days of anxiety 'and nights of vigil have worn him completely out, and as a result his business has suffered. He is the practical manager, and has entire charge of the tirm, and aa a result of his neglect thise complications arose. It is stated that his brother, Cochran Fleming, is very wealthy outside of his connection with the tirm. Bold Bobbery of Fostofflce. 8pec!al to the Indianapolis Journal. Fort Wayne, Ind., Oct. 4. At midnight last night three masked robbers entered the house of Postmaster Philip Hathaway, of Heller's Corner, Allen county, and demanded the government money in the postoffice, which adjoins the postmaster's residence. At the muzzle of a revolver they compelled Mrs. Hathaway to accompany them to the postotiice and hand over the funds while two men stood guard over her husband. The frightened woman gave the robbers 25, which she found in the office, after which the men made their escape. There is no clew to their identity. The Monon'a Coal Branch Special to the Indianapolia Journal. Brazil, Ind., Oct 4.Articles of incorporation for a railroad from Bridgeton to Carbon were tiled to-day with the Clay county recorder. Forced right of way through Clay county was asked of the clerk. The projected line is but ten miles in length, but it is on the route for the proposed Monon branch from Brazil to Bambridge. Maj. J. J. Safely is the moving spirit in the present link, and its construction seems quite probable at no distant date. Coal operators and citizens of Brazil generally are favorable to improved shipping facilities to the north, such as the Monon branch would guarantee. Arreated While Starting: for Europe. New York, Oct. 4. Ernest Rial, cashier for a business house in Omaha, Neb., was arrested this morning as he was going aboard the steamer Scrvia to sail for Europe The arrest was in consequence of a telegram received at police headquarters stating that Kial is an embezzler. The prisoner was taken to Jefferson Market Police Court and held. His couusel offered to produce bail for him, but the justice refused to accept it, .

--!.. MIND-READER JOHNSTONE'S RIVAL. An Organist in & Philadelphia Church Who Possesses Remarkable Powers. Philadelphia. Pa., Oct. 4. Johnstone, the great Chicago mind-reader, has a rival in Camden in the person of D. Edgar Kern, a young man who recently discovered that he possesses the mysterious faculty to a really wonderful extent. Mr. Kern, a rather slight-built young man, is the organist of the First Presbyterian Church of this city. He has given several private exhibitions of his abilities as a mind-reader, but his first public exhibition was given in Morgan's Hall, Camden, last evening. Three or four physicians and medical students from the University of Pennsylvania, hearing of the proposed exhibition, went to Camden to investigate, and they returned satisfied, if not surprised, at what they had seen. Mr. Kern repeated all of the acts that he or any of the spectators had seen, and did them qnickly and accurately. The mere tips of the fingers of the subject's hands were touched by the operator in his performances. Probably the most difficult of the acts performed was the finding of a handkerchief, in which a dozen articles offered by persons in the hall had been placed, and then the return to tho exact spot from which the article had been taken. Mr. Kern was blindfolded during all of the tests. PREACHES IN HIS SLEEP. Somnambulistic Performances in Pennsylvania of Rev. David Kanffman, of Indiana. Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 4.The vicinity of the Gap, this county, is excited over the visit of Rev. David Kanffman. of Indiana, who preaches in his sleep. Mr. Kauffman arrived at the Gap on Wednesday afternoon and went to the house of his brother. On his arrival there he immediately began to show signs of nervousness, and, a bed being made for him, it was not long until he laid down and went to sleep. Shortly after 6 o'clock he arose in his sleep and began to preach, first in English, then in the German language, and continued to preach until about ttSO o'clock, when he became somewhat exhausted. He was then carried upstairs and put to bed, where a natural sleep seemed to take possession of him. it is said that while he is preaching in that condition he can neither hear, see nor feel, and that when he awakes in the morning he seems fully refreshed, but has not tho slightest recollection of anything that took place during the night. Kev. Mr. Kanffman has been preaching his improvised sermons for a number of years. When he is awake he is a very companionable man. The Mining Industry Booming. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil, Ind., Oct. 4. The outlook in the block and bituminous mines was never brighter, so far as concerns a healthy demand for coal. There is not necessarily an idle miner in the district Staunton, Knightsville, Center Point, Clay City, Carbon and other points in Clay county, with Coxville and Koseville in Parke, have rilled up with miners, and are now crowded for room, and yet more miners are wanted. At Brazil, which is the center of the fields, Hadleytown, a southeastern suburb, has recently sprung up into considerable prominence. Two or more mines are in full blast there. The Vaudalia reaches them by a coal branch connection with the main lino at the courthouse. Forty acres have been platted into lots, and most of them have been sold and built.upon. Two churches hare been built this season. The same general prosperity is manifested throughout the district

Many Suspected Persons to Be Sent to the Siberia Mines for Alleged Participation In an Attempt at Train-Wrecking.

Renewed Activity of Socialists Since the Lapse of the Repression Act, The German Emperor Not Sorry About the Failure ot the Laws, as He Thinks He Car Pat Through Better Ones. FEARS OF THE CZAR. Buitla's Antocrat Adopts Extraordinary Precautions for the Protection of His Person. Copyright, 1890, by the United Press. J London, Oct. 4. Advices from Russia represent the Czar as taking new precautions for the protection of his person. None except Cabinet ministers are admitted to an andience without the presence of an officer of the guard, and the Eastern custom of tasting food before it is placed on the sovereign's table has been revived, after having been in disuse since the days of Emperor Paul. The Kussian autocrat-seems suspicious of every one around him, and even his favorite advisers are said to dread an interview with him. The recent attempt to wreck a train on which he was supposed to be riding has greatly added to the Czar's irritation and moroseness, and he is known to have given orders for the immediate deportation to Siberia of the large number of persons arrested on suspicion of having been connected with tho act. Among these unfortunates are twosentinels, whose duty it was to guard the part of the line where the obstruction was placed. Sentenced by courtmartial to be hanged, they had their doom commuted to a lingering death in the mines. Three peasants who were arrested near the spot hae been terribly knouted, one of them fatally, although there is said to be no ground whatever to, suppose them guilty of any connection with the trainwrecking. The two others, half dead, had their lives spared for the time, in order, that a confession might be extorted from ihem. The wife of the peasant who died under the knont went mad when she heard of "his fate. The letter containing these Particulars came by way of Zurich, and is roni a source of unquestioned authenticity. The further statement is mado that the Nihilists are unusually active, and that the frieuds of the victims of Siberian massacres do not mean that they shall go unavenged. KAISER AND THE SOCIALISTS. Renewed Activity Since the Death of the Repression Laws. Copyright, 1890, by the New York Associated Press. Berlin, Oct. 4. The lapse of the antisocialist laws has led to a renewal of the discussion regarding Emperor William's attitude toward the socialist question. Tho Cologne Gazette repeats that t'e Emperor and all his Ministers, with the exception of Bismarck, desired the continuance of the special ..act, arid were ready, to accopt a. permanent act in the form offered by the .National-Liberalsnamely, without the power of expulsion but Bismarck disagreed and the Keichstag inconsequence dissolved.The Emperor himself, says tho Gazette, would never voluntarily have dispensed with tho act. This statement is in the main correct, except that the Kaiser was opposed to any modification of the laws if retained. Ac the same time he views the death of tho laws without regret, confident of his ability to solve the social problem without them by means of remedial legislation depriving the party of discontent of their most serious grievances. Meetings of Socialists in celebration or the event have been held. The tone of most of the meetings was one of exultation, but ail were perfectly orderly. A ereat meeting of Socialists was held at the Brockbrauerei. The men present appeared to belong to the intelligent working classes. They were accompanied by their wives and families.. All were well clothed, and had the appearance of being amply fed. and all carried some kind of a red symbol. Had it not been for these the meeting might have been taken for an ordinary election meeting of a working constituency. After a speech by Herr Be bel several women addressed the meeting. A sheet entitled "Farewell to the Socialist Law," explaining how Christianity might have been destroyed in its inception if the Jewish and Roman authorities had only imitated the Russian police and dissolved every meeting of its founders, met with a large sale. Herr Bebel, who for firmness and earnestness has been compared with John Dillon, tho Irish leader, declared, in an interview, that his party would meet the government's remedial bills on their merits. Where the clauses appeared to be beneficial to the workmen the Socialists would support thom, otherwiso they would oppose them. In regard to. the workmen insurance act, he said that he did not desire to postpone its operation, although he considered it far from perfect, inasmuch as small employers could not afford to contribute as much as required, while the workmen reaped too little benefit from it. It is not believed that tho Emperor's scheme for the formation of boards of workmen to carry on negotiations with employers will succeed. Never, under the German laws, could such boards secure the Eower which the English trades-unions ave secured. It is noticeablo tliat at the.. Berlin elections for delegates to the coming Socialist congress at Halle, all the men elected belong to the moderate section of the party. A large restaurant has been purchased at Eriu, for 120.000 marks, and another, with a large hall for meetings attached, will be bought shortly to assist the propaganda.' The programme published in the Volksblatt is identical with tho famous Gatha programme of 1875, which could , not be openly published while tho anti-Socialist laws were in force. Knowing, however, that the repeal is only an experiment, the party will be careful to avoid giving occasion for a renewal of the coercive. Herr LiebknecLt will address a great meeting at Bechnm to-morrow, and open the campaign among the miners. The Emperor is bestowing special attention upon the schemes which the government is preparing for tho reform of the rural local government and national school system, as well as upon the project of direct taxation. The far-reaching proposals of Herr Miquel, Minister of Finance, tor the collection of income tax will, it is estimated, raise tho amount collected 25 per cent. Hogs at Faucy Prices. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Portland, Ind., Oct., 4. At a stock sale held here by John W. Williams, the famous breeder of Poland-China pigs, seventythree pigs were eold at prices ranging from $55 to $105 apiece. Bidders were present from twelve States. Tho choice pigs were sold to J. Harold, of Wapello. 111., and N. W. Williams, of New Providence, la. Well-Known Pioneer Drops Dead. Special to the Indianapolia Journal. Fort Wayne, Ind., Oct 4. Peter Kiser, the oldest inhabitant of Fort Wayne, dropped dead on the street hero to-day. He was born in 1605, and came to Fort Wayne in 1(25, when he was employed by General Tipton to furnish meat rations to the Indians. He started the first butcher-shoo

in this city, and the firstlodgeof Masons, in 1&23. "Uncle Pete," under which name he was known all over this section, was unique character and a uuaint type of the old-time Hoosier pioneer. He was twice elected to the Legislature, and though unable to write his own name, be acquired a moderate fortune by his natural business ability. - IMPORTERS GAIN A POINT. They Induce th. Collector of Customs at New lorkto Keep His Office Open Until Midnight New YonK, OcL 4. The most intense excitement has prevailed in and about the custom-house all day. Whole troops of importers and brokers kept coming and going. As 3 o'clock approached the numbers increased until finally the rotunda of the

j custom-house was filled with a solid mass of humanity, which perspired, jostled, pushed and yelled. All carried largo sums of money. They were on hand to enter goods that were expected to arrive late this afternoon. Thoy wished to get their entries in under the old law, and stood ready to mako their entries the moment tho vessels were sighted at Fire island. By the decision of yesterday the custom-housa was to have closed on the stroke of G o'clock this afternoon. All goods arriving after that, hour wore to come in under the new law. and duty was to be charged accordingly. The mass of importers and brokers in the custom-houso was so great at S o'clock thv Collector Erhardt deemed it inadvisable t j close at that hour. He announced tkr.t the time would bo extended until 4 o'clock. Each moment after 3 o'clock the excitement became greater. Those in tho rotunda appeared to be going crazy. They shouted, yelled and made futile efforts to move about. The scene was not unlike that of the Stock Exchange. The clerks in the various divisions were swamped with business. Not for years has such a scene been enacted in the custom-house. Every few minutes whole delegations of importers and brokers invaded the collector a office and importuned him to keep tho custom-house open nntii midnight. The collector was in a quandary. His office was jammed full of importers, who waved rolls of bills in their hands and shouted to him not to close tho customhouse The pressure on the collector bocame so great that finally he sent a telegram to Washington. It was directed to Secretary Windoni, and requested advice as to what the collector should do under tho circumstances. The importers expected vessels to arrive at 5 o'clock. In a little time there came an answer from Washington. It was from the Secretary of the Treasury, and informed the collector that he could use his own discretion in the matter. Upon receipt of Secretary Windom's telegram. Collector Erhardt and his seven deputies held a consultation. They decided to keep the custom-house open until 12 o'clock to-night, The importers cheered. At 5:30 p. m. the City of Chicago was, entered and a great part of the waiting crowd was relieved. At C:05 r. M. the steamer Regulus, with a cago of laces, silks and velvets was entered. There was still duo the Etruria, the Thingvalla and the Zaandam, and news of them was anxiously a wai ted. At 10:30 r. m. it became known "that the Etruria had been sighted off the outer bar at 9:34 p.m. At one minute of 12 tho captain of the Etruria had not arrived. Ten seconds later, when half the lights were out. a carriago came on a rush to tho door and a great shout went up. From it jumped Captain Haines, who was immediately behind tho counter and entered his'vessel just before the clock struck midnight Three cheers and a tiger were given for the captain. The captain had como up on a special tug and was driven at a break-neck pace from the dock to the customs-house. The receipts at tho customhouse to-day were $1,154,53, tho second largest amount taken in there since the war. The receipts for the week wero over $0,000.000. THE IDAHO VICTORY.

The Republicans have elected forty-four out of fifty-four members of the Legislature. The Statesman says this insures the election of Dubois, the present congressional Delegate, to the United States Senate. It claims that nearly every Republican membor of the Legislature is pronounced in Dubois's favor. George L. Shoup, tho Governor-elect, and Wm. H. Claggett, are the only prominent candidates mentioned in connection with the second senatorship. The chairman of the Republican central committee has issued the following: IlEADQUAETEKS OF REPUBLICAN 8TATE COM., Boise Cirv, Ida., Oct. 4. $ I desire to congratulate the people of Idaho upon the magntlicent Republican victory of Oct. 1.

BROTHERHOOD VERSUS K. OP h New York Central Compelled to Choose Between the Two Labor Organizations. New York. Oct 4. It is reported that the management of the New Y'ork Central railroad was asked by other labor organizations to drive the Knights of Labor from the service of the company, A correspondent writes: It is not generally known but it is a fact that this latest order not only has the approval of some of the other organizations, but that the Central management has been actually requested by representatives of the Locomotive and Firemens' Brotherhoods to drive the Knights of Labor out of the system. Members of the Switchmen's Union have been complaining ever 6ince the strike that they were molested, threatened, abused, and were at times in a state of terror on account of tho intimidation practiced by tho walking delegates and other agents of the Knights. A committee of the Locomotivo Engineers' Brotherhood went so far as to tell Mr. Webb that tho Central company would have to choose between the engineers' organization and that of the Knights. There is no opposition on tho part of the Central management to any labor organization whatever, excepting tho Knights. In fact, all of the others are encouraged and supported." New Labor Organizations. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 4. President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, was in the city to-day to attend the testimonial tendered to William Martin, the retiring secretary of the Amalgamated Association. Mr. Gompers outlined a number Qf new moves to be made by organized labor in the next few weeks. Among other things several national trades-unions will be organized. Oct ( the marble-cutters will perfect a national organization in Now Y'ork. Every organization of this class iu the country will be auxiliary to the national union. The coopers will organize a national union Oct. 1G, in Columbus. Vessel loaders and 'longshoremen will complete a national union in Buffalo, to includo these workers on rivers, lakes and seas. Tho rotail clerkti will perfect a similar organization in Detroit Each of these organizations when completed will be controlled by a national president secretary, and executive council; each will be affiliated with the American 1 ederation oi .Labor.

It Tits Greatly Disturbed the Calculations ct German and Austrian Manufacturers, and Many Wcrks Are Shut Down.

French Society of Hygieno Petitions for the Admission of American Pork. Exploding the Mythical Story of Its Dangerous Character Woes cf Irish Tenants Belgian Iron Men AknnecL DOW IT AFFECTS EUKOPK. Our New Tariff Law Said to lie Cloilns 3 lany Foreign Manufactories. Copyright. 1S3; by the UnitM rrea.1 London, Oct 4. A Vienna dispatch says that Germany and Austria have come to a substantial agreement to discriminato against the exports from the United State, and that Italy, the third member of tho triple alliance, will probably Join the movement. Tho accession ot Holland to the arrangement is certain, an economic alliance against North America having been firs: suggested by that country. In pnrsuanco of this new policy, Austria and Hungaryhave already relaxed the prohibition on Servian swine, and changes of a restrictive character are proposed in the existing tariff on products imported from the United States. A reciprocity arrangement between Austria and Germany is impossible, as the industries of Austria couKfnot stand Getman competition, at least to the Auctrians themselves Velieve. Both, in Germany and Austria the industrial conditions have bocn much. disturbed by tho new American tariff bill, and many thousands of working people heretofore employed on goods ior the American market aro out of .employment with winter closo at hand. Thousands of theso are prepar ing to emigrate, but the many who ha not the means to emigrate cannot escape suffering. On the continent the prosrect for the poorer classes this winter is very bad. Colonel Vincentj the noted advocate of protection for British industry, has been, interviewed in relation to the McKinlcy bill. Ho says, in subctanco, that Great Britain cannot longer arlord to throw her markets open to countries which place an embargo on British products, and he will urge the question of fair trade with renewed energy in the coming session of Parliament English industry is also beginning to feel the ellects of the new American tariff law. Manufacturers were kept busy up to the latest moment possible making goods for America, to be shipped in advance of the new law going into operation, and inauy are now busy in h'lling orders which meanwhile accumulated fror, England and foreign countries other than-; ho United States. This will ,keep such establishments activo for several months to come; but this good fortune is not universal, and from many quarters como evidences of commercial disturbances more or leis serious in their ejects. In the Staffordshire nail-works the employes havo been subjected to a 10 per cent, reduction in wages, and a similar blow has fallen upon the small army of laborers in the steelworks of Barrow-in-Furness. The Yorkshire mining and manufacturingopcrativcs contomplato a considerable reduction in tho number of their employes, and have dispatched traveling agents in all directions to endeavor to secure new markets in placo of the American. The button-makers of Birmingham have sent agents to America to see if it would bo practicable to retain their market in that country by establishing factories therein conjunction with their English houses. The Yorkshire Post a leading organ of the industries of that region, says: It is useless to live in a fool's paradiso and to attempt to persuade ourselves that the lossef our best market is a good thing. It may be trus, as claimed by optimistio theorists, that the absurd tariff now being put in force in America will so injure that country's ' export trade as to permit England to secure markets now interfered with by American competition. But this is a contingency for the future only, and does not diminish the gravity of the immediately present situation. It does not meet current iixed charges on capital, nor put bread into tho hands of his discharged workmen" It is believed that Leeds will almost entirely escape any bad effects from the new law. Her cloths are of too highly finished and expensive a character to be much affected in demand by sl.ght variations of price, or to be competed with by American goods. Bradford, however, with her lower grades of Btuffa. will be hard hit, and the worsted and coating industries of Dewsbury will be almost wiped out FRENCHMEN WANT OCR POBK. The Society of Hygiene Asks the Government to Remore Restrictions. Patus, Oct 4. The discuesion which has been conducted by the newspapers here on the question of the admission of American pork into France is dying out in a measure, and that topio is now bemg replaced by general denunciations of the McKinley tariff bilL The more important journals on the side of tho government seem still to be :aot unfriendly to the withdrawal .of. tb m. m. m . m lift ff decree of prohibition aeainst American pork. The French Society of Hygiene has printed an important document on American meats, which was .written by Dr. Petra Santa, general secretary of tho society. The pamphlet examines carefully the charges that have been made as to the unwholesome character of American meats, and comes to the conclusion that the charges are unfounded. It then quotes from the dispatch of Mr. Whitelaw Keid,ithe American miniver, to $U Itibot, which it styles a model of finesse, courtesy and diplomatic discussion, based upon practical good sense and precise knowledge of facts. After quoting passages from Mr. Ileid's letter, in which are shown the disadvantages to French wcrkingmen, which result from their being deprived of a cheap article of food, the secretary continues: "These facts and comparisons constitute a page of contemporaneous history which will not fail to amaze future generations. We would, ourselves, like to know how our profound politicians and unreasonable prohibitionists can refute these argumentative paragraphs in Minister Keid'a dispatch to M.
