TJlooinlngton Saloon-Keepers Outwitted. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Lloomington, Oct. 7. This has been a very dry day in Bloomington. Not a saloon has been open through the day. A few weeks ago a Law and Order League was organized in the city, the membership of which numbered many of the leading citizens of the place. The first step was to get the County Commissioners to refuse to grant license to sell liquor in less quantities than a quart. Then the officers began watching for violators of the liquor law, and by last night a number of cases were secured against each saloon-keeper, and they were given notice by the city marshal that if they opened this morning they would be prosecuted. As a result, but one saloon opened this morning, and after the proprietor of this one was lined 800, he also closed. It was a Hank movement by the league and has caused consternation among the saloon-keepers, since they have been informed that from live to a dozen cases are pending against each of them.

SHE MAY NOT MARRY. Report that the Encasement ol Miss WinnieDavis and Alfred Wilkinson Has Been Broken. Syracuse. N. Y., Oct. 7. The announcement came from New Orleans this afternoon that the engagement of Alfred Wilkinson, of this city, and Miss Winnie Davis, of Beauvoir, had been broken, caused much comment and surprise here. The nuptials 'had' been looked forward to with a great deal of interest When the engagement was first announced tho wedding was put down to take piaco last month. In July came the announcement that it had been postponed until next June at the request of Mrs. Davis. It is now believed that the engagement was broken at that time, and that the matter has been kept quiet until now. When your correspondent called at the home of tho Wilkinsons this afternoon he was told that Mr. Wilkinson was out of town. Miss Rebecca Wilkinson was seen and asked if there was anv truth in the report. She replied: 'That is entirelv a private matter; it is nothing for the public to know about anywav." Miss Wilkinson declined to deny or affirm the report about theengagement being severed. Dr. Thomas Emory, at whose home Miss Davis was tho guest when she first met Mr. Wilkinson, said that ho had no definite information regarding the report that the engagement has been broken, but that be did not believe it was true. "There has been a report," he said, "that the wedding had been postponed from September to next June, but I don't believe Miss Davis over intended to marry earlier than that, anyway. She would not marry before then out of respect to her father's memory." Relatives and near friends of the Wilkinson family say that in all probability tho engagement has not been broken, one going so far as to pay that he understood that preparations were goiug on for the wedding. It is believed here that Mr. Wilkinson's finances have bad something to do with theeua of theengagement, if it is really broken, and the following facts rather substantiate it. About the time of Miss Davis's return from Europe, early in July, a gentleman of the city of financial standing received a request tor certain information concerning Alfred Wilkinson andhis family. The request came from a point hundreds of miles south of Syracuse. The person of whom the inquiry was made understood that it had something to do with Mr. Wilkinson's . relations with Miss Davis, and he answered it at length. The points touched upon by the inquirer related to Mr. Wilkinson's habits, associations, his standing in his profession, his income, etc. The failure of Wilkinson & Co.,.. bankers, was particularly inquired into; The inquirer wanted to know how the Wilkinsons stood beforo the failure, and how that event was regarded by the commrriity. He asked for complete information concerning the transfer by members of tho firm of certain property before tbev assigned; the subsequent etlorts of creditors to realize on that property; as to what proportion of the firm's debts had bren paid, and how the family of which Alfred is a member had been supported since the failure. This is believed to have had something to do with the reported broken engagement.

I wonld amend that by saying that if I were given the forming of the character of the yonng men of a land, I would not care for the rest." He went on to talk of the prospects and duties of the union, and relerred to the plans of work that are to be discussed at this meeting, more especially the question of the formation of readingrooms and libraries. The' Hon. John V. Douglass, the president of the Board of District Commissioners, then addressed the convention on behalf j of tho city and District government. President Lavello responded to Mr. Douglass's address, and called upon Bishop Keane to favor the union with a few remarks. The Bishop 6aid he was sorry their welcome to this city should be such a wet one, and yet he thought there was something appropriate in it, too. for in three days the Catholics would celebrate the anniversary of Father Mathew, the great Catholic temperance advocate. On motion of Father Waters, of New York, a committee was appointed to draft a message to be cabled to tho Pope at Kerne, informing him of the meeting and asking his blessing. After tbo reading of various reports, the convention took a recess. BROTHERHOOD OP. ENGINEERS. Arrangements for Their Annual Convention Next "Weelc Prominent Speakers. Pittsburg, Pa.f Oct. 7.

The Fight Against Colored Railway Employes. Terre Haute, Oct. 7. Before leaving for Houston, Tex., yesterday, to attend the meeting of tho Supremo Council of the Federation of Kail way Employes, called to consider the strike on the Houston & Texas Central railway against colored switchmen, Grand Secretary Debbs said: "It is a 6erious question involving the righta of the -negro. It is the first instance in which the race question has entered into the consideration of a grievance brought before the Federation." Mr. Debbs said thatliot one of tho railroad organizations accepted col ored men as members. The white men refuse to take the colored laborers into their orders. There are many colored liremen, brakemen and switchmen in the South, but the colored man is not made an engineer or conductor. Wages paid to such employes arc not equal to tlio rates on Northern roads. Tho white employes are endeavoring to raise the wages in tho South, but colored labor can be procured cheaper. The colored railroad men have organizations throughout the South, but they aro not permitted to affiliate with tho white organizations. Owing to the peculiar conditions existing in the South, the questions to be considered by the executive council will be grave ones. Short in Their Accounts. Mary8Ville, Kan., Oct. 7. James M.
