Her Liaison with Abeille recounted by the Attcrnejs Ixcitinz Debate In the French Deputies cn the Press Laws. DEACON SCANDAL REOPENED. Tb Gallty Wife Wants th Court to Place Iler Child In Convent. Paris, Nor. 16. The appeal of Mri. Deacon from the decision of thetribnnalof the Seine, declaring that sbe bad no right to apply for a diTorce from her husband and awarding the custody of the children to Mr. Deacon, came np to-day in the first chamber of tbe Court of Appeals. Jndge PeriTicr presided. Mr. Deacon was present, but Mrs. Deacon did not appear. M. liarbonx, for Mr. Deacon, said tnat Mrs. Deacon cnarged that Mr. Deacon was a man of Tiolent temper and that he neglected his wife. He further declared that for. two years Mr. Deacon bad studiously ignored his wife's liaison with Abeille and refnsed to apply for a divorce treatise Mrs. De aeon paid the household expenses. On the night that Mr. Deacon shot and killed Abeille there bad been no criminal intercourse between the latter and Mrs. Deacon. Mr. Deacon bad consented that Mrs. Deacon hoald have two of tbe children. Mr. Deacon's demand for his daughter was unreasonable and was due simply to a desire for vengeance and to hatred of bis wife. M. Barboux claimed that Mrs. Deacon was Justified in sequestering his rbiid until her appeal waa heard and decided. Who bad taken the girl from the convent to prevent her husband sending her to America. Continuing, M. Barboux declared that tbe attitude of Mrs. Deacon after the tragedy was comparable with Mary Magdalene, who had supplicated for sympathy. He asked that the court place tbe child in a convent and allow Mrs. Deacon to visit her weekly. When M. Barboux had conclnded, M. CInnet. who appeared for Mr. Deacon, addressed tbe court. He traced the history of Mrs. Deacon's liaison with ADeillefrom its beginning to the time Abeille waa shot by Deacon. Mrs. Deacon, be said, bad brought an action for divorce in Paris, that she might avoid scandal and condemnation for adultery by the court. He deuied that Mr. Deacon had misused his wife, and said the statements that be was a man of Tiolent temper were untrue. The tribunal of the Seme, before which Mrs. Deacon had brought proceedings, had given to Mr. Deacon the custody of bis eldest child. Mrs. Deacon had abducted tbe child as soon as she learned of the court's decision, and threatened that Mr. Deacon would Reversed tbe girl again unless his action against her for criminal adultery was abandoned. Mrs. Deacon asked the court to withdraw Mr. Deacon's rights as the natural eua:dian of the obild. Mrs. Deacon was a woman of pleasure. Her intrigue with Abeilla was not a sudden weakness. Five weeks after her confinement Abeille was found with her. Mrs. Deacon admitted this. Then she left Paris for Cannes. t?he stopped at the Hotel Nonilles la Marseilles, and there Abeille joined her nnder an assumed name. He used tbe name Adam, and Mrs. Deacon used the child to screen her adultery. Maitre CInnet conclnded his speech by declaring that a woman who behaved as Mrs. Deacon had done was not lit to have the enstody of a child. The court then adjourned. MUZZLING ANARCHIST EDITORS. Discussion In the French Deputies on an Amendment to the Press Lawn. Paris, Not. 16. The government bill providing for the imposing of severer penalties on Anarchist papers that incite to violence, and generally adding to the stringency of the press laws, was introduced in the Chamber of Deputies to-day. An exciting debate followed, but tbe Chamber adjourned without taking a vote on the measure. .: .. . ... . Great interest was manifested in the bill, and on its fate depends tbe fate of the government. There was a full attendance of the members of the Chamber, and the galleries were crowded. M. Laguerre, the well-known Doulangist member, opened the debate. He declared that he was irrevocably opposed to the bill, which he declared was a dangerous measure, tending to interfere with the liberty of the press. The government, hedeolared. ought to prosecute Anarchists, not journalists. This remark brooght forth loud applause from the members of tbe Left. M. laesero, the reporter of tbe bill, urged that it was imperatively necessary to fill up the loop hole in the present press laws. The Chamber, by supporting the bill, would show that liberty was not to be confounded with license. Count Albert Demun. an extreme Catholic said that the lamentable state of allairs evidenced by tbe introduction of the bill was due to tno secularization of the schools and anti-religious education. M. Loubet, tbe Prime Minister, protested against an assertion made by Count Demun, that tbe whole Kepublican party aimed to destroy, religions belief, and that the government prosecuted a propaganda of ouicial atheism. The existing laws of the republic. M. Loubet declared, were founded on the principle of religious neutrality, both regardiup tbe schools and their administration. The state government did not resort to coercion in any form. It had never swerved from this policy since its advent to power. M. Lou bet's remarks were greeted with cheers. Count DeDouville-Maillefeue, a member of the Left, opposed the bill. Alluding to Count Deinno's Royalist opinions, he caused a scene by exclaiming. "The monarchy is a mere tissue of falsehoods." Many members of the Right sprang to their feet, and loudly protested against such an assertion. Others laughed derisively, whereupon the Count violently abused them, and concluded his attack by declaring that he pitied thera. M.l'lonuct called tbe Count to order. The latter protested, and, when he was prevented from uttering his opinions, he left the tribune. M. Deschanel supported the bill, which he declared would restrict not the liberty of poblie opinion, but crime. He denounced tbe doctrines of the collectivists, and said they were profitable only to those preaching them. Every strike. M. Deachaoel added, produced a new politician, who toon blossomed into a member of the Chamber of Deputies. He appealed to all Kepublicans to oppose ideas which were carrying France back to tbe days of barbarism. Other speeches were made by less well-known members. GENERAL FOREIGN SEWS. fttbe Rebellions Convicts Shot to Death by Soldiers In a Spanish Prison. Madrid. Nov. 16. During tbe past year several breaks among convicts have occurred in prisons in various parts of the country. To-day the most serious of all the series oecurred in the prison at Tarragona, and nine of the convicts were killed. The convicts have been dissatisfied with their treatment for some time, and formed a plan for a general jail delivery. Ordinary oonvicts in Spanish prisons are allowed considerable freedom within the walls, and this practice allowed them in this case to carry their plan out. Shortly after the prisoners were released from their cells this morning th"y mutinied. At a iignal from their leader they sprang upon tbe warders, and tbe latter, taken completely by surprise, were soon overpowered. The convicts then had full possession of tho prison, whteh included the auarters occupied by the Governor. Soliers were at once summoned. The convicts were ordered to surrender. They refused and tbe troop then fired at them, with the above result English Society r Gudgeon-Catchers. London, Nov. 16. Mr. Henry Latumchere, in Trnth, to-day, unearths another bogus society of science, letters and art, similar to the International Society of Science, Literature and Art. the council of wbieb. including Sir Gilbert Campbell, were recently copvicted of swindling and sat to prison. Dr. Albeit Sinrman re

cently founded the Bosses' Society, of which he made himself secretary. Sir Henry Valentine Goold, an impecunious Irish baronet, eighty-seven years old, was tbe president of this society. The names of tbe Earl of Mar and Sir Arthur Temple Clay, baronet, appear in the society circulars as patrons. They probably never heard of the concern, branches were

started in the United States and in Berlin to Hell certificates of membership and grant fellowships. Each fellow was privileged to wear a hood of black silk lined with mauve. Mr. Laboucbero concludes his expose of the fraudulent character of tbe society by aving: 'Tbe gullibility of the British public is illimitable." Nina Merub-rs of a Wedding; Partr Killed. Madrid, Nov. Id A sad story of tbe fa tal interruption of wedding festivities is reported from Bejar, a town forty-five miles south of Salamanca. A yonng conpie had just been married in tbe church there and the wedding party bad gone to a restaurant, where a wedding feast was served. Everybody was in the highest spirits. After tbe banquet dancing was begun, and everything was progressing pmoothly when, without an instant's warning, the walls of the building collapsed. The entire party, together with the employes of the restaurant, were buried in the ruins. Nine persons were killed. The injured numbered thirty, some of whom, it is thought, will not recover. Otbero will be crippled for life. It is supposed that the movements of the dancers were responsible for the collapse. Fleeing from an Earthquake. Rumf, Nov. 1C The inhabitants of the island ot Ponza are in a state of terror, in momentary expectation of a disastrous earthquake, of which they had a premonition last night and to-day by heavy rumblings and the shaking of tbe earth. The inhabitants, with three hundred convicts from the prison, are encamped in tbe open air. A steamer with troops has left Naples for the island. Ponza is the chief of a gronpof small islands belonging to the Italian province of Cazerta and is situated about twenty-nine miles southwest of Terracina. And like many other small islands in the Mediterranean sea is of volcanio origin. It is ued for prison purposes, but has a population of over 3,000, a governor's house ana a commodious and well fortified harbor. Yellow Fever Wiping Out as Town. New York, Nov. 15. A letter received by James Gallagher, of this city, to-day. from a friend in Cordoba, Mexico, gives a most distressing account of the state of affairs there. Yellow fever has raged with an awful violence and oarried away almost one thousand of the people of the town. Most of tbe inhabitants have fled to the mountains to escape the plague. On the day when the letter was written, the writer said, tbe only living beings that could be seen in tbe streets were a few convicts who had been pressed into service for burying the dead. Trade has been utterly paralyzed. Cordoba in a pretty little town in the heart of the Orixaba mountains. It has about four thousaud inhabitants. Cable Notes. A train on the Mexican Central broke in two on the Sierra Madra mountains and rushed down the grade at a frigbtfnl speed. Three men were killed. Anarchy still prevailrin the province of llio Grande Do Sul, liraziL Tho federal forces and tbe revolutionists have bad several encounters recently in which honors were about evenly divided. Queen Ljlinokalaui of Honolulu, has appointed the following cabinet' to succeed the one lately ousted by the. Legislature: Hon. G. N. Wilcox. Minister of the Interior; Hon. M. IV Robinson. Foreign Affairs: Hon. Peter Jones, Finance; Hon. Cecil Brown, Attorney-general. f The London Graphic says that the English admiralty has decided not to build any more guns weighing over fifty tons. It has also decided that every gun must be mounted In such a manner that it can bo loaded, trained and run in and out by band power. The guns will have a degreo of elevation that is now unattainable, and the gun screws must be better protected. MCRCHISOX SPEAKS AT LAST. He Denies Having Written the Letter That Kemlted in Minister West's Kccill. Chicago, Nov. 16. M. Y. Murchison, the alleged writer of the famous letter which led to tbe recall of Lord Sackville West from this country four years ago was in tho city to-day, and for the first time since the letter was published he con sented to talk about it "I am' he said, "one of the unfortunate men who have fame thrust upon tbem, and although tho publio may look upon that letter aa a. joke it has been a very serious matter to me. I have been talked about, I have the finger of scorn pointed at me. and all because some one whose con duct I shall not stop to characterize forged my name to a letter written to the English minister. I was never in California in my life. 1 never wrote tbe letter attributed to me, yet I cannot enter a place npon ordinary business without having people point me out and whisper, 'that is the man.' Once in Cleveland a Democratio cab-driver refused to take me to the tram and I missed nu Important engagement. I have not publicly denied the letter. because, wnen it was written, l was on my farm in Glengarry county, province of Ontario. I received a paper but once a week. My father was ill and died. and then I was ill myself. The matter had gone so far then that it would have done no good to deny it. Whether tbe man who wrote that letter used my name by acci dent ordesign is more than I know. If he did it intentionally I will never forgive him. This is tbe first time I ever have talked for publication on this matter and I hope the public will believe me. If an ath davit will nelp matters I am ready to swear that I never knew Sackville West; never wrote him a line, nor even had personal knowledge of anybody writing to him.'' KADFilAN WAS A TERROR. With a Drawn Revolver He Controlled a Pennsjlvaiiii Train from Delphes to Fort Wsyne. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Fort Wayne. Ind., Nov. 16. This after noon telegrams were sent along the line of the Pennsylvania railway to arrest a man who had possession of train No. 1 with a revolver, and was running it to suit him self. At a number of stations the police were present to make the arrest, but were afraid of the desperado, who was armed with a huge forty-two-caliber weapon. The police force of this city was notified. and Lieutenant Lapu and otlicerQuinn were at the train with the patrol wagon when it arrived. Conductor James C. Craig told the police that the desperado was in the rear coach with a revolver. Both ofiicers closed in on the man. and after a desperate struggle handcuned and rolled him into the patrol wagon. At the station he gave his name ad Henry Kaufman. hotel porter at Del phos, O. He had been out the night before with an actor, and both got drunk. He got on the train at Delpaos. Iho passengers lived in terror of the fellow all the way He walked up and down with his revolver ready to shoot the hrst one who disputed his possession of the train. A large bottle of whisky was found on his person. At Vauwert conductor Craig kicked him oif the tram, but as it was leaving he boarded the rear car. National Road Coogrrss. Memphis. Tenn.. Not. It The National Road Congress was called to order to-dav by President Mulliu. and after welcoming addresses ana responses bad been heard the programme of the convention was an nounced to bo a full discussion of tbe road question, the kind of roads, the character of paving, the use of convicts on publio roads, the advisability or a bonded indebt edness as coutr; distinguished from slow progress and cash payments, necessary legislation and other points Dertainino to road-buildiug. These questions Will be discussed by the various States represented. Opportunity f'" Needy Students. ..VIiHOAOo. Nor. 1CL The owner of the I yrambulating chair privilege at the

world's fair grounds must have 4.000 chairs.

both single and double, ready for use when the gates are thrown open cn Mayl next. He wants only the best attainable talent to operate the chairs, and he announced this afternoon that he would engage all the students who apply. They can choose be tween SI a day and 10 per cent, of their receipts or ft certain percentage of tbe daily receipts. Tbe charge for a single chair by the day will be 6. At 75 cents an hour it is estimated that a single chair will bring a return of $7.o0 a day. A large number of students gathered in the steward's olfice to hear the outlines of tbe plan explained. It was pointed out that a man could as easily roll a double chair as a single one. and that the customary "tips" would help to swell the students' earnings, home of the students will undoubtedly take advantage of the chance to make needed money. WEEDING OUT DEMOCRATS Third Partjites Seem to Have a Majority of the Farmers' Alliance Delegates. Tillman and Macune Legislated Off the Executive Committee Patrons of Husbandry Want Fair Treatment from Tariff Tinkers. Memphis, Tenn.. Not. 16. The National Farmer's Alliance and Industrial Union waa in executive session all day, and the press censors had little to give out. Since adjournment it was learned that the two elements Democrats and Populists are still struggling for the mastery, and it was learned that some acrimonious discussion was indulged in. The Populist element seems dominant at present, and is seeking to oust Mr. J. F. Tillman, of this State, a member of the national executive committee.' Mr. Tillman's offense is that after his coadjutors had sent out 200,000 official circulars advocating the election of General Weaver he used his stationery and official position to send out an equal number of circulars advocating the election of Grover Cleveland. Mr. Tillman was also general manager of the National Literary Bureau, and the charges amount toabreaoh of faith. His circular letter was to tbe effect that Alliance men could not hope to eleot General Weaver; that they should support Cleveland and thus defeat the force bill. etc. Mr. Tillman does not deny the charge, but rather boasts of it. As a Democrat, be says, he did only wbat the thud party members of tbe organization had done in assisting bis side. Au investigation of Mr. Tillman's conduct was at one time prepared, but later in the day other tactics were adopted. Mr. Tillman's term of otHce as executive member continues another year, and. preparatory to legislating him out of office, the constitution was changed to-day. Another executive board must now be elected. This throws out J. Y. Macune. also, and some members claim that it is a clear triumph for the Populist wing, and insures the election of Mr. Loucks, the present president. . The factional leaders. Mr. John McDowell and J. F. Tillman, spoke freely in the presence of a reporter to-night, and each accusod tbe other of official dereliction. To-morrow's session will likely witness tho combat and its termination. Patron of Husbandry. Concord, N. H., Nov. 1C The National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry assembled in the State-house in twenty-sixth annual session this forenoon. J.' II. lirlghatn. of Ohio, presided. Twenty-five out of thirty-four grange States were represented at the first roll - calL Master J. II. Brigham delivered the annual address. He said that the financial standing of the National Grange is good and that reports from States granges show increasing numerical strenatb. activity in every good work and a careful observance of the principles of tbe order. The speaker outlined the benefits that had accrued to tbe farmer fronxc-r-ganization, in favorable legislation, and advocated renewed 6ll'orts to secure the early passage of the Washburn-Hatch anti-option bill at the next session of Con gress. In discussing tbe labor question, tbe speaker said that the relations which exist between tbe employer and employe in this country are of deep interest to farmers, and they view with apprehension the disagreements which are too frequent for the best interests of alL The speaker then reviewed the result of the recent election and said: All our order will ask of the new admtntstration is that tho same consideration given to other interests be accorded to agriculture. If tbe producer on tbe farm must compete with cheap labor, let tbe producer lu tbe factory "and tbe . mine do tbe same. Let tbe cleaver of free trade descend upon every protected Industry and not alone on axrlculture. The farmers have become accustomed to neglect and unequal legislation, but tbey are not wholly indifferent to it. and they may at some future time reach a point where partisan associations and prejudice may not be strong enough to prevent them from resenting unjust discrimination against the agricultural Interest. The speaker deprecated, as unnecessary at this time, the movement to induce the government to spend large sums of money in the irrigation of tbe dry lands of tbe West and passed on into a lengthy discussion of the financial question, advocating honest money.

Nkw Youk, Nov. 16. Fears are expressed that an epideinio of small-pox is imminent in 1'rooklyn. The discovery of eight cases last evening has aroused the health officers to action and to-day a corps of physicians were sent to the neighborhood to vaccinate the citizens. About three hundred persons were vaccinated and about as many more refused the opportunity. The police have put tbe district temporarily under Quarantine pending tbe disinfection of Bouses at Nos. 410 and 434 Fifth avenue, where the victims lived.

GRAND ARMY'S OFFICIALS

Council of Administration Considers Details for Next Year's Encampment. 'Twill It IUU Dorine- the First Week in September Itccp,in at the State-IIcnse Speeches by Weil-Known Men. COUNCIL OP ADMINISTRATION. Date and Other Details of Next Tear's Encampment Fixed. Bright and early yesterday morning comrades of the Grand Army began to call at the Denison to pay their respects to Commander-in-chief Weissert. who arrived from Milwaukee on tbe Monon at 3 a.m. Commander Cheadle, with his staff, were on hand to welcome the national commander and staff. Colonel Lilly, chairman of the encampment committee, called to pay his respeets to the head of the great soldier organization. He was obliged to wait a few moments while the commander-in-chief attended to a wound which he received at the battle of Nashville and which has persistently refused to heal in all these years. In passing, it may be said that the conynander-in-chiet is a soldier with a record which any patriot may be proud of. even if he will not tell it himself. His adjutant-general. CoL E. li. Gray, of Milwaukee, is a man who seems to be admirably adapted to the very responsible position because, in the first place, he gives representatives of the press attention to the exclusion of many others. J. N. Taylor, of Philadelphia, is quartermaster-general, having tilled the place for years so acceptably that no man has yet been able to oust him. Tbe council of administration present is as follows: L. B. Raymond, Hampton, Ya.; II. I. Deitrich, Chicago; A. P. Burchfield. Pittsburg, Pa.; Jonathan McKelhey. Louisville, Ky.: IL H. Cochran, Toledo. O.; H. C. Luthie, Providence, K. L; W. H. Armstrong. Indianapolis. A meeting of the council of administration was held at 10 a. m. to consider matters of minor importance referred to it by the National Encampment. In the afternoon a general meeting of the national council of officers of tbe Indiana department and the committees of the Commercial Club was held to consider the important matter of the next National Encampment. Colonel Lilly, chairman of the committee in charge of the arrangements, with Secretary Fortune, went over the whole ground, showing what bad been done and what it was proposed to Co. Kepresenting the Indianapolis committee, CoL Lilly declared that he was confident that the patriotic people of Indiana and Indianapolis would so generously respond to the calls of tho managers as to make the encampment all that could be desired. When Colonel Lilly bad made bis statement Commander Cheadle, speakiug for the Grand Army of the Republic in Indiana, declared that its 25,000 members would take hold of tbe matter in earnest, and help the Indianapolis committee, wbioh bad the fullest coniidence of the order. Other leading members present from different parts of the State pledged the Grand Army iu their respective localities to hearty co-operation. After all the Indiana representatives had spoken Commander-in-chief Weissert said that he was gratified with all that he had seen and heard, and had no doubt that Indianapolis had been wisely chosen for the grand assembly of veterans. His associates expressed themselves fully satisfied with the representations and the spirit of tbe Indiana people. Tbe next thing that came up was the date of the encampment. There was no division, tbe couucil unanimously agreeing to the date most agreeable to tbe Indianapolis committee, namely, the first week in September, the encampment to begin Wednesday, Sept. 7, the grand parade to take place tbe Tuesday before. The next subject was tbe charges of .hotels. The council said that it was necessary to give the visitors advice regarding the rates for entertainment. That the matter ought to be on paper. Mr. D. P. Erwin and tothers went to see the hotel proprietors and gut written pledges that the rates should not be higher than the regular. This does not mean that every guest shall have a room to himself for the ordinary price, but that each person shall have lodging and meals at the regular advertised rates. This was most satisfactor' to the committee. A communication was received from the chairman of the committee in Washington, suggesting that each member of tbe(i. A. K. receiving free lodgings should be required to advance a dollar as evidence of good faith and to pay for damages to furniture, etc. This was discussed, but objected to by tbe Indianapolis committee, as well as tbe board of administration. To prevent the imposition practiced in Washington, whereby thousands of men who were not members of the G. A. K. got free quarters, the same as members, it was decided to require that all posts whose members propose to attend, and accept free or other quarters, should make application through their commanders, who shall certify to the department headquarters to which the posts belong that the persons applying for quarters are bona tide members of the Grand Army. All such applications must b on tile by the first Wednesday in August in order that the Indianapolis committee may make definite arrangements for their entertainment. No arrangement will be promised to veterans who make application after that date. When the business had been concluded, tbe commander-in-chief and bis suite, with Commander Cheadle and 6taff, Past Commanders Walker. Travis, General McGinnls, Colonel Eli Lilly. General Tucker and Adjutant-general Shaw, of the Union Yeteran Legion, took carriages and rode over the routes which were contemplated for the grand march. The committee would not give out the route on the around that it had not been fully fixed. After the trip the party returned to the Columbia Club bouse, where au elegant lunch was served. To a Journal reporter. Commander-in-chief Weissert said that he was delighted with tbe spirit and business tact which tbe Indianapolis committee and the Grand Army people displayed in regard to the encampment. Enthusiasm is a good thing, but it is not enongb. - Business capacity is necessary, but that alone will not make a successful preparation for an encampment. But here in Indianapolis is enthusiasm, local priie, publio spirit and first-class business capacity combined. I shall notify all the departments that Indiana and Indianapolis will royally entertain one of the grandest of national encampments. EVENING DECEPTION. Festivities at the Capitol Speeches by a Number of Prominent Men. The decorators did their full share in transforming the interior of the State-house into a patriotio bower in honor of the publio reception, last evening, tendered tbe city's guest. Commander-in-chief Weissert, of the national G. A. K. organizations. Timothy Griffin, custodian of the Statehoube, had the decorations in charge and, as usual, his efforts were attended with . success. The speakers stand was located just south of the rotunda under the west gallery. Tbe sides and front of the stand were gaily embellished with bunting, and on it chairs were arranged for the presiding ofiicers, the guest of tbe evening and the members of tho council of administration. The railings of the first and second galleries, above and surrounding tbe court onto which tbe speaker's stand looked, were plentifully and artistically decorated with Hags, large and small, while the four immense marble pillars were wrapped with folds of bunting. In the first gallery, just north of the Court referred to, the orchestra was located, and ever and anon beautiful musio floated out and penetrated into all tbe rocesnea of the great struotnre. All around the speaker's stand and in the galleries above chairs had been provided sufficient to accommodate several hundred people. The public generally bad been invited to atteud the reoeption, and tbe invitation was freely accepted. By 7 o'clock crowds

began to gather in the corridors, and the throng was continually augmented by fresh arrivals from that hour until 10 o'clock. It was a splendid assemblage, too. and when, about b o'clock, the orchesua, concealed above.struck up a lively air.promenading was in order, and it was indulged in until the exercises began. Arrangements were provided for taking care of wraps, a thing much appreciated by tbe ladies owinjr to the warmth of the building. The members of the reception committee were here, there and everywhere, making people comfortable, and helping along social converse, aud altogether everything moved alone as smoothly as though it had been greased lor tbe occasion. It was almost 9 o'clock when Commander-in-chief Weissert and tho members of the council of administration arrived at tbe Capitol and tooic thoir places on the stand. This was tbe sianal for an overture by the orchestra, and then a few remarks were made by the chairman. Hon. Joseph B. Cheadle, of Frankfort, department commander of tbe G. A. K. of Indiana. His remarks were brief, bnt extended a hearty welcomo to tbe guest of the evening. He closed by introducing Governor Chase, who delivered la short address. He spoke of the G. A. K. organization, forming, as it does, a grand army 500.000 strong, and interspersed his remarks with a few anecdotes and reminiscences of the days when this country was convulsed by civil strife which highly pleased the attentive audience. The next thing on tbe programme was a song by tbe G. A. K. Glee Club, which took so well and elicited such hearty applause that another song was rendered, after a few appropriate remarks by Governor-olect Matthews. Commander-in-chief Weissert was introduced by tbe chairman, and was welcomed with continued cheering. In opening his brief remarks he thanked the audience for the weloome accorded him. because be said

he knew the sentiment that evinced such a royal welcome was the same that had pervaded the fathers, and sons and brothers who shouldered their muskets and went to the front at their country's call. He spoke of the organization of tbe Grand Army of the Kepublio in this State, in 1SC6, and his remarks contained pertinent reminiscences of the great generals who figured in the late war. His tribute to Oliver P. Morton was loudly cheered. Another song was then rendered by tbe glee club and closing remarks were made by Adjutant-general E. B. Gray, of Milwaukee, John Taylor. of Philadelphia, and other members of the eounoil of administration who ocoupied seats on tbe stage. After this programme had been gone through the reoeption began. Commander-in-chief Weissert, Governor Chase, the reception committee and their wives received in the Governor's parlors. The crowd entered by the west doors, passing on through into the Adjuant-general's office and out into the corridor. At the doors policemen were stationed to prevent jams or pushing, and all went well as it would had they not been present. It was 11 o'clock before the crowd had all disappeared. Many ladies were present, and the reception was, in every sense, an eminent success. Tbe reception was conduoted by a committee on arrangements, of which Hon. Claude Matthews was chairman and State ofiicers, city post commanders and members of the monument commission. The receiving committee consisted of Governor Chase, Mayor Sullivan, President Murphy, of the Board of Trade, and President Lilly, of the Commercial Club. Grocery Dnrslarlzed. Thieves got into the grocery of John Gresh, in North Indianapolis. Tuesday night, and stole S1S0. They obtained an entrance to the bnilding by stealing a brace and bit from a neighboring blackemith ebop and boring ont a panel of the door.

Chicago, Nov. 16. The first estimate of the amount lost by the city through the irregularities in the water office was made to-day. It is 500.000 for tbe year 1892 alone. The books, according to expert accountant Holbrook, are in a condition of hopeless demoralization owing to tbe erasures and lack of system on tbe part of clerks Lorlmer, Dwyer and Brokoski. Commissioner of Publio Works Aid rich says he has not received a partial or complete report from Mr. Holbrooke, and he can give no estimate on the amount of loss. It is not probable that any of tbe money that has been diverted from the city treasury can be recovered. THREE LITTLE STRUEMPFLERS. Grover, David P. and Harrison Ushered Into the World at Brooklyn.
