ARMSTRONG fc O J 77 ttouti Illinois Strojt ASK YOUR OROCER TOR PRINCESS FLOUR, THE TOPLK OP THE SAIKT& Dedication of the Mormon Edifies Forty Tears After the Corner Stones Were Laid, Balt Lake City, April C Tbe great Mormon temple was dedicated to-day. The services were as secret as a Masonio lodge. Tbe temple's history is interesting. The site for the structure was selected July 23, 1S17, the filth day after the Mormon pioneers entered Great Salt Lake valley. Brighatn Young, president of the church, chose tbe spot by dramatically striking his cane on the ground and exclaiming, "Hero will bo the temple of our God."' Gronnd was not broken for the structure till Feb. 6, 1653. On the 6th of April following the corner stones were laid sixteen feet below tbe surface of the ground. When Johnston's army came through in 16.") S the foundation of the temple was covered over with earth and the people moved south from Salt Lake for a time. Four years after this work was resumed on the building, and, with the execution of two years ltCS and lbGU, when tho workmen of the Territory were mostly employed in constructing the Union Pacific and other railroadshas continued without serious interruption. The cap stone was laid April ti, 1512, at which time the date of dedication was fixed for April 6, lS'A the sixtythird anniversary of the organization of the Mormon Church, and lorty years from the day the temple oorner stones were laid. Tbe building is lSCMi foot long and W feet wide. With tbe towers it covers an area of 21,850 square feet. Tbe foundation wall is 10 feet thick and 1G deep. On this the granite walls are 9 feet thick on the bottom and narrow to 6 feet at the square. There are six tow ere, three on the east and three on the west. The corner towers are 2tJ feet square at the base. Those on the east are iiOO feet high and on the west VM feet. Tbe east central tower of the building is 222W feet high, surmounted by a figure with a trumpet to his lips proclaiming the gospel. The east part of the temple is for the Melchisedeo priesthood, representing tbe higher or spiritual allairs. The west is of the Aaronio priesthood, representative of temporal existence. The figure on the east central tower symbolized the angel named in the 14th chapter and 6th verse of John's Revelation. There are in the building many stones symbolical of different conditions of mankind. Around tho base are earth stones. Above these are moonstones, showing the moon in its various phasos. emblematic of terrestrial glory. Still higher than these are sun stones, typical of, celestial, or Xhe highest glory of the heavens. There are also star stones, representing the glory of tbe stare. On the west tower is the Ursa Major, pointing to the polar star and indicating that there is a fixed guide for fallen mankind to return to God. Then there aro cloud stones and others of like symboho nature. Tho architecture of tbe building is without known parallel in ancient or modern times. There are four doors to the temple, two in the west and two in the east corner towers. The cost of tbe building will be $5,000,000. The belief of the Mormons, or Latter-day Saints, as they call themselves, is that without the ordinances and endowments that can be given only in a temple, they cannot obtain complete salvation. These endowments are tho conferring of certain blessings pertaining to their existence hereafter, for thoso who are living and also in belief of those who have died without the opportunity of personally reoeiving in the flesh the desirable ordinations. This aocounts for tbe activity and persistency of the saints iu bnilding temples. Am on 4 ordinances are the sealing for eternity, by divine authority, of family relationships, and those of husband and wife, and parents and children; also baptisms and various rites in behalf of tho dead. It is tho rule that only those who become disciples of Christ anl seek to live sincere Christain lives will be admitted to the temples. There ato places of worship for those only who aro members of the Mormon Chnrob, which claims to be tho Church of Christ, and the only one on earth existing by his authority and directed by revelation from him. They look upon tbe temple in tyilt Lako City as the one described in tbe first two verses of the fourth chapter of Micah. The building is provided with all the modern appliances lor lighting, heating, ventilating and sanitary arragements. The assembly room in the fourth story accommodates about 2.5C0 persons. School Fnrnltnro Trust Arraigned. SrniNGFiKLD. 111.. Aorii CThe committee appointed by tbe State Senato to investigate the school furniture and schoolbook trusts made its report to-day. Tbe report arraigned the United States School Furniture Company in tbe severest terms, and advised that legal steps bo taken to stop the trust. It stated that the trust had practical control of the entire output of school furniture, and that it had managed its allairs so as to annihilate all competition in that branch of trade and advanced prices of school furniture. As to the American School-book Company, It was not a trust. It did not attempt to do away with competition, but to reduce tho price of school text books. 'Daring- Feat That Prided in Death.

Tbe Spectators Thought It "Queer'' end Wanted the "Mill" Declared a Draw, but Captain Bar net t Wcnldn't Consent. New Orleans, April C Andy Bowen. of this city, and Jack Burko, of Texas, fought to-night for the light-weight championship of the South and a purse of 82,500, of which $500 was to go to tho loser, before the largest audience ever assembled in the arena of the Olympio Club. The men were to weigh 133 pounds at the ringside. Both were in perfect condition, and the betting was slightly in favor of Bowen. Prof. John DniTy was chosen referee, while Captain Barrett was in charge of the polico detail. Tho men en- ; tcred the ring at '0:15. Bowen was in tho lead, followed by his seconds, Thomas Anderson and James Spitzfadden. Burke came in shortly thereafter, and received a warm reception. Burke's attendants wore John A. Sullivan. George La Blancho and narry Black. The fight commenced at 0:20, when the men shook hands and retired to their, corners to commence the first round. They advanced to the center of the ring, and Burke, in getting away, slipped and fell. Bowen landed a good right on Burke's cheek, and tho latter clinched. Bowen landed his right on tho nbi, and the latter was thrown over Bo wen's head in a clinch. Burke was fought into his coruer, and when tho round ended' Bowen was in the lead. Iu the second round Burke was allowed first blood, but was fought to the ropes with heavy right and left-handers on tb body. In tho next three rounds the slugging was lively, in tho sixth round Bowen took a walk, stuck out bis chest and did eomo good acting. Burko landed a heavy left on the ear, but missed a heavy owing with his right, it was a funny round and everybody chonred. Keferee Duffy cautioned Boen in the seventh for his foul fighting and clinching. It was any one's fight at this stage of the game. In the next six rounds bouors were about even. Burke landed two good punches on Bo wen's head in the fourteenth and had the best of the round. In tho fifteenth nothing was done. In tbe sixteenth and seventeenth the men fought hard, but the home man fought foul several times. Burke caught Bowen with his right onthonosain the eighteenth, which was the hardest blow of tho fight up to that time. In the nineteenth honors were easy, but in tho twentieth Bowen received somo hard raps in tbe face, which staggered him. Iu the twenty-first Burke landed several facers, and tho round closed in his favor." In the twenty-second Burke half fell and was half, punched down, but Bowen was not strong. In the twenty-third Bowen was knocked down in an oil-corner and was floored again later in the round. Burke had much tho best of the fighting now. In the twenty-fourth littlo was done. In the twent7-fifth Bowen was Dearly knocked down by two pnnches in the head, but his opponent failed to follow ud his advantage. Little was dono in the' noxt three rounds. From the twenty-ninth to the thirty-sixth nothing but misses characterized the light. The men were clumsy beyond compare. There was nothing done from tbe tblrtyeeventb to the forty-fourth round and the audience, growing woary, whistled "Home, Sweet Home." From the fortv-tifth to the forty-eighth, inclusive, tho fighting grew hot. Bowen knocked Burke down in the forty-eighth, but the gong sated the falloa man, who aroso in time to fight. Burko was very weak in the forty-ninth round, and Bowen went at him fast and furious. Many blows were struck, but the home man's poor judgment was evident, and Burko managed to hold out for round fifty in which several blows were hit, both men going to their corners weak. The conbatants were too tired to do much from, the fifty-first to the fifty-seventh round, and the spectators kept calling for a draw, .but Polio) Captain Barrett said there ehonld bo no draw when the fight was not brutal, in the next four rounds the light looked "queer" to the old ring habitues, and many thought the fight a fake. In rounds 63 and 71, inclusive, nothing of importance was done. Came of Duooran'i Deth. Syracuse, N.

Arrival of Commander-in-Chief Wclssert Election of C) Ulcers. Gpeelalto the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville, Ind., April C When the State Encampment got down to business to-day tbe first report beard was that of W. II. Armstrong, of Indianapolis, of the committee to cod skier tho report of tho State Soldiers' Homo committee. The recommendations m the Carnahan report are concurred in and the present committee, which has rendered so efficient service, will be continued. In this connection it may be said that the encampment adopted a resolution deolaring that no candidate will receive the support of tbe Grand Army who does not pledge himself to vote an, appropriation for the home. The encampment was very much in earnest about this matter. There has been from the first a great deal of consultation as to the attitude which the Grand Army in Indiana should take in reference to the dodication of the monument. There was a unanimous desire to do all that can be done to promote the success of tbe encampment. At tbe same time the encampment did not want to have it understood that it would sanction tho perversion of tho purpose of the monument, 'After a general consultation George W. Spabr drew and presented the following resolution: Kenolved, That we extend to Col. Ell Lilly and tbe citizens of Indianapolis our most cordial approval of tho eSJoient efforts now being made for the entertainment of the National Encampment at that city in September next, and wo pledge to hlin and them our earnest co operation in that behalf. Yet we dejlre most earnestly to impress upon all persons Interested that we do not regard with Indifference tho perversion of tho tftate soldiers' and sailors' monument from its original purpose to commemorute the eertlcett and sacrltlces of tbe soldiers nud sailors of Indiana in the war for the suppression of the late rebellion and the cause for which tbey fought, and we deem it a duty to ourselves, to our fallen .Hrurade9 and to posterity to deprecate the dedication of the monument in its present perverted condition, and we believe that our vlsitlnjr coiiirados will not desire to participate In the dedication of the monument unless it be restored to its original purpose. The resolution. was reported back with the hearty approval and recommendation of tbe resolutions committee, and was unanimously adopted. It is satisfactory to all. The committee on commander's addross reported through Past Commander Storiuont indorsing all Its recommendations, laying particular stress on those urging Indiana posts to uniform for the encampment, urging that intemperate pensioners be put under guardianship, appealing for an aggressive canvass for members and indorsing his views and action regarding the monument. The report was adopted by a ruing vote. At this point tbe business whs interrupted by the announcement of a eommitteo of the W. If. C. bringing greetings. The committee consisted of Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Siddeli, of Indiananolis; Mrs. Towsley, of Elkhart, and Mrs. Butterfield, of Evansville. each of whom made appropriate remarks, to which the commander responded.

We are either the survivors of the greatest war known to ancient or modern times or we are nothing.'' The Commander added: "1 have been to all tbe encampments from Maine to Texas, and when 1 tell you tbey are looking forward to the Indianapolis encampment. I am saying it mildly. Indianapolis will bave all it can do to entertain them. The multitude at Washington will bo as a shadow to the great throngs coming to your Indiana gathering."

Loss of Over 975,000, Caused by a Careless Tinner 200 Inmntea Safely Removed. Cincinnati, April C A careless tinner upon tbe roof of the College Hill Sanitarium, this afternoon, caused a, loss of from $75,000 to Si 00,000 of property, and imperiled the lives of two hundred patients. A hot soldering iron was permitted to ignite the roof, and the flames quickly got beyond tbe control of tbe water works of the institution, as well as that of tbe village of College Hill. By wise arrangement the superintendent, Dr. O. Everts, directed the attendants to give every ellort to tbe task of safely removing the sick, the insane and the ailing patients. In this they were faithfully assisted by the villagers who fiocked to the place. The scenes within tho great structure, four stories in height and lillecT with two hundred patients, were exciting. The insane shrieked and tore their clothmg.while the less unfortunate were distracted by tear and begged to be helped away from tbe flames. It is believed that every life was saved and every inmate, except two men and one woman, was safely housed in adjoining buildings and in private houses. In the confusion two men and one woman escaped to the woods. A searching party was sentafter them. The main building was entirely destroyed. It was built by J. C. C. Holcnshade and used for somo years as a female college. It has been used as a sanitarium for the private treatment of the insane and others for eight or ten years. Other Fires.

I left without a cent, and have begged everything that I have eaten. It is my intention to reach Chicago in time to be present at the opening of tbe world's fair, if possible." Miss Minnehan was neatly dressed, and claimed to be tbe daughter of wealthy parents in Paterion, N. J., against whoso will she had started on her journey. A Jealous Spaniard's Deeds.

CLEVELAND'S ORDER REVOKED

Senators and rcllti:ians Disapproved tbe Effort to Mnzzle the Frcsi and Hide tbe Fact that Removals Were for Partisan Rsasoni.

SnOItT-LlVED ORDER. Cleveland Forced to Iteseind TJis "No l' jb Hcatlon", Order Removals by Hoke Smith. Special to the IndiaoapoU JoarniL Washington, April CThe dark-lantrn ,order which was issued at tbe Postofflcc Department yesterday, upon tbe direction of President Cleveland, forbidding the publication of cbanges in postmastershlps, and which promised to cut off from the publio all information relating to the ap-" pointment of postmasters of the fourth class in Indiana and other States, was today rescinded. It is not probable that it will ever be renewed. The order had tbe eilect of depriving tho readers of tbe Journal of tbe news relating to tbe appointment of a largo number of postmasters yesterday, but there is no probability that any further effort will be made to curtail in the least information'for the public It was learned, to-day, that tbe reason the President directed tbe appointment book to bo closed agaiustbe newspapei men was that some of them have been ic tho habit of writing bloodcurdling introductions to their dispatches each day, in which they noted tbe cbanges which tool place in their States, and referring ta "bcademan Maxwell's bloody ax" and the 'ilow of gore which followed the leading of so many innocents to the guillotine block," etc., and which furnished tbe text for severe criticisms upon the part of certain mugwump newspapers. The President got it into his head that tbo country was coming to the conclusion that he was chopping off the heads of postmasters without regard to the time they had served, their efficiency or popularity, or anything else, and was simply beheading Kcpublicans, as such, to give places to spoilsmen Democrats. Tho order to close the books brought a perfect storm of disapproval from men in all parties. Senators especially denounced tho programme for secret decapitation, and a number of resolutions were prepared and would have been introdnoed in the Senato to-day had not the order been rescinded. At tho bottom of the list of appointmenti made to-day appeared a note explanatory of the changes, and intended to excuse the large number of removals of Kepablicans. After stating the number of appointment! for to-day. the number of removals, resignations and vacancies created by death which were filled, the explanatory official note observed that "twenty-six of tbe post masters removed served fonr years &?io over, and thirty-three served over thrt e years." This disclosed the point where President Cleveland's shoe pinched. He wanted the mugwumps to believe he had some regard for tenure, for time served, even if he did not for efficiency and general merit. The fourth-class postmasters appointed to-day for Indiana were as follows: Akron, Fulton county, N. Ilcttmansferer. vice A. Strong, resigned; Buena Vista, Monroe county, J. V. Kirk, vice J. T. Crom, resigned; C rUand. Jackson county, L. CjBauKhman. vice, K. i). Hayes, resigned; Disco, 1 ulton county, J. W. Bearo, vice II. W. Case, refllgned; Elrod, ltlp ley county, N. LI. Delap, vice F. M.

Swann, vice J. Keudrlck, resigned; Saint Omer, Decatur county, C. D. Harwood, vice R. L. Laird, resigned; &urirl3, Jackson county, R. L. Isaacs, vice, B. R. White, resigned; Weston. Jennings coanty, F. Gardner, vico J. B. Lowell, resigned. It is learned on the highest authority that the list of fourth-class postmasters which are daily being given out at the Poatoflic Department are not complete, and that they give no adequate idea of the extent to which postmasters are being removed and tbrir places filled by Democrats. This is a serious statement, and will undoubtedly bo denied in positive and official terms, yet it is absolutely true, and is made on authority which cannot be questioned. It seems that the dark-lantern principle is to be introdnoed into other departments of the government. Secretary Hoke Smith has removed between thirty-five and fifty Kepublican special examiners for the Pen sion Office who are out in the lield. and he refuses to give tbe names of the men removed or to assign any reason for his action. The exact number removed he will not state. One report has it forty-eight. and another over thirty-five. Some of them aro from Indiana. An. intimate friend of the Secretary of tbe Interior told the Journal correspondent this evening that the reason there had been wholesale removals of speoial examiners in the pension service was "be cause it was found that out of eighty examiners but two were Democrats, and the Secretary is determined to have some Democrats in the pension field." Since these ex aminers are appointed through the Civil service Commission, it is hard to conceive how forty or fifty Democrats are to be s leoted from the party for these positions, to take tbe plaoes, of Bepublicant, if tba law is not openly and criminally violated. But it i safe to say that all of the men who will take these positions will bo Democrats. If the Civil-service Commission objects there will be new Civil-service Commissioners, and they will be spoilsmen who are deaf to the law. TWO IMPORTANT POSTS FILLED.
