" " London, Dec 21. Mr. Gladstone, In hi letter to Sir Robert Peel's grandson (Speaker Peel's son), who is the home-rule candidate in the Marylebone district, says: For the first time since commencing in Pari i a-, ment the ptrnggle under O'Connell, the Irish party, bent .on a constitutional and effective scheme of home rule, is looking to Great Britain to pronounce judgment in the contest between it and the minority of the seceders. under Paruell. The Liberals of Great Britain, who themselves since 1SS6 have had to resist and overcome a similar .secession, will not doubt which side they are to Tecognize with the name and trno title, 'the Irish party with its honorable tradition of resistance to wrong. Assuredly yon enter the field at a moment of extreme interest, when the cause of wisdom, justice and freedom has claims upon all who love it enhanced beyond the ordinary standard." Said to Be Losing Confidence. London, Dec. 22. The DaiJy News Kilkenny special says: "Mr. Parnell is fast losing his feeling of certainty of success. The meeting at Johnswell was comparatively sparsely attended, and there was but little applauding. Mr. Parneir speech was dignified. but sounded like the knell of a lost cause. His speech at Kilkenny in the evening was delivered under great excitement, and ha was exhausted at its close. The McCartbyites delivered thirty-six speeches during the day. Tbey covered the whole constituency, with at least one member of Parliament in each district. This was in accordance with Mr. Davitt's plan to have the last word everywhere. Mr. ' Davitt claims 1,500 majority for Hennessy." Says England Is Ireland Only Hope. Kilkenny, Dec. 2L In his speech at Goresbridge Mr. Davitt said that if Sir John Pope Hennessy was defeated the Irish people wonld no longer be able to count upon an alliance with any English statesman. Parnell. he coutinned, baa in desperation appealed to the hillside men. to the Fenian sentiment of tf:e country. It would be criminal folly for him or any other man to ask the young men of Ireland to face the overwhelming might of England in the field. Parnell himself would be the last man to lead the way to this policy of madness and desperation. And he was only making his appeal in the hope of snatching a victory in Kilkenny.

San Francisco, Dec. 21. Chinese 'advices report the execution of sentences on thi villagers near Shanghai for the cruel murder of fourteen salt inspectors, and the burning of the bodies of the wounded and dead. Last March these salt inspectors made a. raid on a village. They wore no uniforms, and the villagers mistook them for pirates. The inspectors seized a pile of contraband salt which they found by the sido of a house, and while removing it to their- boats ihey were attacked by villagers and overpowered. Nearly all were only stunned by blows, but a visit to their boats showed the villagers that they had attacked government officers, and. fearful of the severe punishment, they decided to burn the boat, and with it the bodies of the wounded inspectors, to remove all traces of the crime. So they carried the injured ie en to the boat, and, despite their entreatties, set tire to it and burned the whole. The chief criminal was sentenced to decapitation, but committed suicide before the day arrived, and, according to law, his body was exhumed and the head struck oil and exhibited as a warning: to the public. Four others were strangled and four exiled after heavy tines. . Cable Notes. The election of Deputy Banmbach as burgomaster of Dantzic is confirmed.

This is the first time the Emperor has used the sleigh, which was consequently an object of much interest to the crowd that thronged the avenue. The Emperor William in said to contemplate making Alsace-Lorraine a province, not only separate, but to a certain degree autonomous, to be ruled by a prince of the house of Hohenzollern. It is understood that the matter is now being discussed by the Cabinet, and a plan may probably be submitted to the Keichstag, which body, under imperial direction, has control of the conquered territory.

Women Win by a Large Majority in tlio Northwestern Methodist Conference. Probably Fatal Saloon Brawl Shot by a Gambler Three Snicides Old Plan's Keck Broken by an Experimental Twist. INDIANA. Complete Tote of the Northwest Conference on the Admission of Women. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Ckawfordsville, Dec. 21. The vote in the Methodist churches in the Northwest Indiana Conference upon the qnention of admitting women to the General Conference shows that out of a membership of 31,092 only 5,400 votes were cast. Of the votes cast, 4,037 favored the proposition, and 1,303 were opposed, thus making a majority of 2,674 in favor of the question. The largest vote cast was in the Greencastle district, 1.043; and the smallest vote was 763, in the Valparaiso district. It is the opinion of one of the presiding elders that as the vote cast is so small, when compared with the membership, it will indicate nothing as to the actual will of the church, and that the General Conference will -hardly adopt the "new departure" upon the meager vote that has been cast throughout the church. The main cause for the small vote seems to have been the fact that interest iu the question submitted was wanting, and therefore only a little over one-sixth of th members in the conference voted. .The following are the full returns from each district: Hemiter- Totes Zlaj.

Special to the Indianapolla Journal. Chawfokdsville, Dec. 2L One of the main reasons for granting a new trial to W. F. Pettit, at Crawfordsville, seems to have vanished. George Boyland, of Garfield, who made affidavit that Fred Imel, one of the jurors, had expressed an opinion before the trial, now comes and makes another affidavit to the effect that it might be possible that he waa mistaken in thinking that Imel had made uso of the expression, as there were several in the store at the time, and it might have been one of tho other men. Fight men have also-made affidavit that the reputation of !3oyland for trnth and veracity is bad, and Joe Thomas has made affidavit that upon the occasion alluded to Intel did not say a word about the case. Thomas also says that he made the remark that Boyland credits to Imel. Thus one of the strong points in favor of a new trial is probably injured beyond recognition. Bloody Saloon Drawl.

BULL'S DEATH A GOOD THING

Gen. Custer's Widow Regards theKilling of the Old Sage with Equanimity. The Celebrated Chief, Crow-FIies-Higb, and His Mandans Are Dancing Revelations of the Messiah Said to Have Been Hade. Special to the. Indianapolis J ournaL Washington, Dec. 21. It is something of a coincidence that the widow of General Caster has been hero the last week at the time when the killing of Sitting Bull f.nd the death of General Terry have been announced. It was Terry who commanded the expedition which culminated in the slaughter of Custer and his little band of heroes, and it was Sitting Bull who conducted the massacre, although he was not directly responsible for Custer's death. Mrs. Custer was at the breakfast table when she glanced over the newspaper head lines telling of the old chiefs death. For a time it put Lrr in a meditative mood and when she did speak it was to share the common expression of late that the conntry was better off for Sitting Bull's death. She spoke of him as a coward, who liked to map out extensive plans of depredation for the purpose of haying others execute them. He was usually in the rear inciting others to do murder and mis chief. Asa medicine man he had been constantly misleading tho Indians into blind superstitions such as the Messiah craze. Mrs. Custer is here to secure an increase of her pension from $50 to $100 per month, and in this connection it is a significant fact that, while the government has long sapplied Sitting Bull and the thousands of Sioux with blankets, rations and ammunition, there is very littlo supplied to the widows and orphans of those who went down in the Custer tragedy. One of the widows is giving musio lessons and teaching dancing and deportment, and by his means adds a meager addition to the $26 which the government gives her in the way of a pension. Twenty dollars is for herself $3 for each of three children. When the massacre occurred she was thrown upon her own resources with her children, then less than eight years of age. There are many other cases of the same sort, but Mrs. Custer is the only one who receives a special pension by act of Congress, giving her a sum more than the ordinary allowance of the Pension Bureau, but with the $600 a year which she receives she is obliged to do newspaper and book writing in order to make a comfortable living. Crow-Flles-nigh's Got 'm. Too. Bismarck. N. D.. Dec. 21. The Indians on tho Fort Berthold reservation, unable to any longer stand aside and see their brethren have all tbe fun to themselves, have at last become ailected with the Messiah craze and are indulging in ghost dances with the samo vim tnat characterized other demonstrations. The Bertholds have been the most orderly Indians on the American continent. A private letter received to-day states that some fears are entertained from these hitherto peaceful Indians. They are under the tutelage of several Sioux from Standing Rock, who deserted during the annual visit of the Bertholds to that agency a month ago. They are beginning to act very strangely, and Agent Murphy, desiring to be on the safe - side, has asked for ' troops. If any serious results ' should occur these Indians, who are composed of the Gros Ventres. Arickarees and Mandans, .would notify all tne white people on the reservation to leave and that the . Indians to not intend to break away from tho reservation but will attempt to holditagainst intrusion by the whites. They want the reservation all to themselves with no white men in their midst to molest thorn. There is a band of Mandan Indians, under the leadership of the celebrated chief, Crow-Flies-Higb, located on the Little Missouri, which has never yt yielded obedience to the government. The Mandans bold themselves aloof from any intercouse and do not draw subsistence from the government. More fear is felt from the last-named Indians than from those at tho reservation, who have so long been the .white man's friends. , - In Earnest About the Messiah. . Lawrence, Kan., Dec. 21. Several of the students at the Haskell Institute, the Indian school here, have received letters from their relatives in the Indian Territory regarding the Messiah craze. One of the letters is from a Caddo chief to his daughter. It is dated Anadarka, and tells of the ghost dances. The chief tells his daughter not to ridicule the coming of the Indians' Christ, for she knows nothing of the wondrous manifestations the Indians have received from bim regarding bis appearance on earth again. He says that maybe some time her Indian instincts will assert themselves, and then she will come back to her people, join in the dance and make herself ready to receive the Messiah. The old chief says the belief is confined mostly to the good Indians, and he regrets that the bad ones will not mend their ways and accept the Christ. Another of the letters is from an uncle to his nephew. This letter also tells of the wonderful revelations that have been made at the ghost dauces and of the marvelous interviews that the inspired Indians have had with the Messiah, borne of the inspired Indians, says tbe writer, have had interviews during their trances with dead relatives, who have told them to prepare for the coming of Christ and not treat Him as did the white peoble of old: The writer cautions his nephew not to reject the Messiah until he has attended a ghost dance and has had an opportunity to judge himself of the evidences of the coming ot Christ. Canadian Reds Excited. Moose Jaw, Assinaboine, Deo. 21. The Sioux Indians here and at Wood mountain are greatly excited over tne killing of Sitting Bull, and a number of armed Indians have crossed the line from the south. The Messiah craze appears to have reached them. Chief Black Bull, now at Wood mountain, says the whites will soon be exterminated and the Indians have control of the country again. Ghost Dance Ghost Story. Okuuioma', O. T Dec 2L Thre is no truth in the report that 1.000 Kickapoos are engaged in a ghost dance in the Indian Territory.

Diabolical Plot to Waste Unman Life for the Purpose of Robbery Many Injured. Woodvil e. Miss., Dijo. 21. A most diabolical and atrocious crime was committed Saturday afternoon in wrecking the paytrain of the L., N. O. & T. on the Woodville branch of that road. The pay-train, after paying off the employes of the road, left here at 4:09 P. M. and had proceeded two and a half miles from this place when the engineer, in turning the curve, saw a man at a distance of forty yards deliberately pull a rail away. lie immediately reversed his engine and called for brakes, bat it was too late, and ere the echo of his whistle had died away the entire train was a wreck. When the reporter arrived on the scene at night the injured were laid upon the ground near by, while medical aid was prompt in administering to the suffering. As soon after as possible conveyances were sent for and the injured were conveyed to the Cohen House, where they were made comfortable. The disaster, from all information gleanei, was planned several months ago, and but; for the promptness of VV. F. Fusler no doubt the loss of life would have been very heavy. S. A. Bradford, a resident of this place, was identified as the man who pulled the rail, and is now in jail. It appears that he and another man entered into a conspiracy some months ago to do this deed. While talking and planuing they were overheard by Fugler. They, in turn, discovered that their conversation had been overheard by Fugler, and threatened that if he would not go with them or said any thing about it, they would kill bim. Fuller consented to assist them, and everything was planned and . agreed, tbe time, the place aiul all particulars, ' but Fugler, instead of remaining silent, imparted what information he had sained to the oflicials of tho road in Memphis, and they, desiring to bring the guilty persons to justice, made Fugler a decoy to assist them in capturing the robbers. Upon leaving Memphis the officials of the road warned the creW of the pay train to be on their guard and that an attempt would be made to wreck and rob them on the Woodville branch, and for further protection they sent two of their detectives along with the train. Upon leaviug Woodville every man was at bis post of doty, and while danger was expectid they thought the attempt would be made further down. The spot was well selected, bnt the time inopportune. Upon seeing the train turn the curve, Bradford pulled the rail and lay in the bushes to await tho result of his work. Discovering that he was not successful, he immediately retreated on a rnn, and, ere he had taken many steps, detective Laird started after him. Bradford continued on his race for escape, but was captured, as he was about to enter his house, by detective Laird and W. F. Fugler, who immediately brought him to town and delivered him to sheriff Lewi 8. Tho motive that prompted the deed was to rob tbe car, as it was supposed that paymaster French had about 10.000 aboard. The crew of the wrecked train consisted of the following, all more or less badly shaken and scratched up: Mr. Bryant, the roadmaster, received very painful, and perhaps mortal wounds, but at present is resting quietly and doing as well as can be expected. Col. J. li. French, paymaster, received slight wounds about the ribs and face. W. L. Harris, clerk, was slightly injured. Conductor Jetf. Smith was bruised about the . body. Engineer D. Brown's shoulder was dislocated, the colored fireman and cook were bruised about the face and railroad detectives Laird and Anthony were both injnred on the arms and legs. Last night Sheriff Lewis placed an additional guard at the jail, as rumors were all oat that Bradford would be lynched if Mr. Bryant died. Numerous crowds could be seen congregated on the streets until a Iato hour last night, but all is quiet now. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Local Forecast.

Message to the Senate. Fort Wayne Gazette, It is about time that tbe Kepub'an members of the Senate shut off the ssant chattering of the Democratic mil r and proceed to the enactment of legiti .e business. Had the Senate acted with ae same promptness as. did tbe Iloufe, the present trouble would have been obviated, and aflairs would have, in all probability, been much different than is the case. It seems that it is pretty nearly time for the old barnacles to unbend themselves somewhat. Let them exhibit at least a modicum of the suap and energy manifested by tho Kepublican leaders ol the House, aud the liepublicans throughout the country will be a great deal better satisfied. Aud by such a course the business of the country will be the more speedily and satisfactorily accomplished.

Wis., is iu an asvlnm in Freeport; I1L No particnlars are given and thja dispatch only adds to the mystery that surrounds the case. Z Fairfield, Tex., is a scene of Intense excitement over tbe scourge of spotted fever or perhaps meningitis. Nearly all the stores are closed and business is almost entirely suspended. The decease is so fatal and dreaded that the people are closing their dwellings and leaving. Last niftht Fred Lawson and John Paine, of Uniontown, Pa., were taking a baud in a poker game. The two got into a dispute and Paine drew a revolver and fired three times. One ball pierced Lawson's brain, another his heart and the third entered his stomach. Paine escaped.

Milwaukee SentineL What the South wants is money that can be bad for tbe kind of security it is willing to oiler, and, this given, it is not very narticular as to the quality of the money. Hence tbe anxiety to return to tbe old system of wild-cat banking 'judiciously regulated by tbe Stale legislatures. " It is not diuicult to imagine th kind of ''judicious regulations" which would be adopted by tho legislatures of Georgia, South Carolina and other States where the Alhanco controls legislation. What tho "Ilobber TarllT Has Done. Chicago Inter Ocean. In IStfUbe wealth of the United State, was computed at 44.000,000.000: now tbe wealth is estimate! to bo 04.000,000,000 an increasH of $2,000,000,000 for every aiugle year. And yet tbe people were living nniier that 'robber tantt" all the time. Terrible, isn't it f Just stand back and let the free-traders have a cbance. It will make all England, and France, and Germany smile just as it will make all America weep Pemocratle Company for the SentlneL SpriDRfltW Republican. Tho Democrats of Mesa county, Colorado, are out in a platform demanding that all taxes be gradually removed from industry and ita products and concentrated on land, thereby securing both a just and wise tas svstem and 'equal natural opportunities to all."
