prison garb walked through the gate from the deputy warden's office into the south cell house of the Prison North. Up to this time the control that both had displayed throughout the ordeal they have been passing through never failed them and seldom weakened in the slightest- It did not fail them at this time, and there was but a very slight weakening on the part of either, and it was but momentarily. In the room were representatives of Indianapolis papers. Warden French, Chaplain Sanders, Deputy Marshal Foley, special guard George Gasper and Rev. G. A. Carstensen. It was a scene to elicit the sympathy of anyone knowing the former circumstances of the men. Regardless of the opinion that might be held as to the guilt or innocence of the two men upon whom the prison doors were then about to close. It was a trying time to see two men accustomed to luxuries in life submitting with apparent resignation to the Inevitable and obeying with humility all requirements, and to observe upon their faces the look which Indicated their determination to face their trouble with all the fortitude they could command. It was 11 -Zd when the Monon train carrying the two convicted men pulled out of the Union Station. It had been announced that the families of the two men, with a number of friends, would accompany them, but thi3 was not a fact. They were accompanied to this city by Rev. G. A. Carstensen, pastor of their church, and John M. Roberts, brother-in-law of F. A. Coffin, who left the train at Frankfort. The trip waa without Incident so far as the manner or actions or any display of feeling on the part of either of the Coffins was concerned. They were In charge of Deputy Marshal Foley and special guard George Caspar. Three newspaper men were also of the party, and the whole party sat together and conversed on topics yof the day. A large number of curious persons, knowing that the men were to be taken to prison on that train, passed " through the car to catch a glimpse of them. At the Massachusetts-avenue station the train was met by about twenty-five former employes of the cabinet company. The eight of these men, come to bid him a last farewell, deeply touched F. A. Coffin. The men came up to the car window, which was open, and, reaching his Hand through the window, he shook hands with all of them. As he did so tears welled up into his eyes, and his voice was a little choked and had a tremor of feeling. Percival Coffin sprang from his seat when

he saw the workmen and called to Deputy Foley to 'accompany him to the platform where he could speak to the men. He left the train for a few minutes while he shook hands with the men. Tho train had not proceeded more than twenty-five miles till the two men ate lunch. Some lady friends had prepared a dainty and bountiful lunch, and they ate heartily. To the uninformed it would never occur that two of the persons In the party, occupying seats In the middle of the smoking car on that Monon train were bound to the penitentiary, under sentence of ten and five ye-irs. About 1 o'clock a game of cards was proposed, and Percival Coffin and three press representatives sat In a; came of euchre. As the game was begun .Percival remarked that it was the penitentiary against the press. He was, by far, the most Jovial man in the crowd. Francis A. Coffin conversed with the Rev. Carstensen. the deputy marshal . having him in custody and the press representatives. ALMOST A WRECK. Between Lacrosse and Walkerton the train narrowly escaped being wrecked. A freight train, which had passed over the road a short time previous, had dropped hot coals upon a culvert. It had ignited and the wind fanned the flames briskly till one girder had been badly burned. The burning culvert was noticed by a farmer residing in the vicinity, and, knowing that the passenger train would be along in a few minutes, he hurried to the track and flagged It. Engineer Foss stopped the train Just before It came upon the culvert; a hasty examination was made, and It was 'concluded that the train could pass safely over If it proceeded slowly. This was done, and the train passed over without accident . The delay was only for a few minutes, and no excitement was caused by the incident, as but few of the passengers knew how near they had come to being plunged into the ditch. Just before getting into Michigan City Percival Coffin asked to see the commitments. Deputy Foley nanded them to him, and, after examining them, he suggested to Mr. Foley that as they contained no description there was nothing to prevent him from retaining possession or them and handing the officer over to the prison officials as their prisoner. All along the route persons who were aware that the Coffins were being taken to prison on the train came down to the depot to get a glimpse of them. It was 5:15 when the party arrived here. As they stepped off the train a hotel runner handed a card to Francis A. Coffin, with the remark, "We would be glad to accommodate you at $1 a day." "I would be glad to have you do so," Coffin answered, but not In a tone to be heard by the runner. The trip to the prison was made on a horse car, and it was just 5:45 when It was reached The men were met at the door of the prison by their brother. C. F. Coffin, who had arrived but a few minutes before from Chicago. There was a hearty greeting between the brothers, and the whole party were ushered Into the directors' vrcom. Here they were Introduced to Warden . French by Deputy Foley. After all had been seated Warden French turned to the men and told them that their brother and Rev. Carstensen had requested that they b permitted to retain their citizens' garb till the ruling of Justice Harlan upon the application for a supersedeas was passed upon. He said he could not do this, as he k must treat all persons alike. He had agreed to await the answer to a telegram to Judge Raker asking that he order the men simply held in custody In citizens' garb, and while waiting this reply he told the men tc make themselves as comfortable as possible. He also told them that the successful management of any prison depended upon discipline, and that he was compelled to treat all prisoners alike. The men must not expect to be treated any different than others.. While the warden was speaking C. F. Coffin stood behind Percivars chair with his arms folded about the latter's neck. Roth were very much affected. Percival restrained himself with Borne difficulty. While the reply to the telegram to Judge Raker was being awaited the warden showed the press representatives about the prison. IX PRISON GARB. At 7:30 o'clock supper was served to the men in the directors room, and they ate it upon a desk made by them and purchased through the American Desk and Seating Company of Chicago by the prison officials. The company will be remembered as being frequently mentioned upon the trial of the Coffins. A few minutes before 8 o'clock a telegram was received from Judge Baker saying that he had no authority to request that the men be held in citizens garb. The warden told them to prepare to don the prison garb, and explained to them what would be required of them while in the prison. They were told that they would be required to wear the regulation coat. vest, trousers and shirt. Under clothing and shoes they miKht have furnished them if they desired. They might have such books as they wished In their cells, and might also furnish their own bedding if they desired. Then began the procession to the bath room, where the men donned the ' stripes. John McFee, serving a term for forgery, has charge of the clothing of the convicts, and took the measurements and descrlotion of the men. Roth men re moved their clothes and donned the stripes as if they were simply changing from a street to an evening attire. While this was true so far as their conversation was con cerned, their faces assumed a serious look. Yet, notwithstanding this, they were more or less facetious. As F. A. Coffin pulled his coat on he remarked: "Why. I have worn worse lxklng clothes than these when I played tennis." On . the garment were the prisoners numbers, but this, is only for the purpose of identifying the garments, as all prisoners are known by their names. Their numbers on the books are 9) and D4o. From the bath room the men were conducted back to the cell house. placed in charge of the guard and locked together in cell No. &5. Warden French eaid he did not know what he would do with the two men in the way of providing work for them, but would nave to leave it greatly to time. There is a difference between federal and State prisoners. The former cannot be put at contract work. Within a few days, if the men are not released, he will place them at such work as he is permitted to put federal prisoners Ufon. . ...

The running to the first quarter was easy In the sea of mud. To the half the pace was but little better, the track preventing anything like rapid work.

All Sorts of FfllMttlcfl In Leading Talkers Speeches Create a. Fight That Ended In Words Only. PROHIBITION PARK, N. Y., June 5. The closing session of the International prohibition congress here was marked by some lively scenes this afternoon. Rev. Dr. A. A. Miner, of Boston, In an address on legislative enactments against the liquor traffic, charged the Republican party with repealing a prohibition law In Massachusetts and accredited the Neal Dow prohibitory law in Maine to the Democrats. .Mrs. Bryant, a delegate, arose and said there was no Republican party In Maine when the prohibitory laws were made. Dr. Miner also said that the press of both parties Is in league with iniquity, and was being paid for it. He denied that Governor Tillman had captured the convention for South Carolina dispensary laws, and when he asked how many favored It only seven of the two thousand people present arose. The Rev. T. B. Wakeman, of New York city, followed Dr. Miner. The prohibition theory, the speaker said, could not succeed because it was wholly theocratic In nature. "You have not succeeded In Kansas, Iowa, or Maine," said he, "and you cannot succeed under your present system. You mut change from theoracy to scientirtc common sense. Your proniumon arguments are in direot opposition to our republican form of government. Yesterday you worshiped Governor Tillman when he addressed ytu. and to-day you repudiate him. Tals shows you are flexible, and glve3 m& iiops that In time you may change about in your views and come to a sensible view of the l.quor question." During his address Dr. Wakeman was several times interrupted by cries of disapproval and contradiction, and when he retired a number of delegates jumped to their feet 'to answer him. Chairman Bacon, however, forbade discussions until the set programme had been finished. A number of delegates then again took the floor and denounced the chairman as an autocrat. The committee appointed to consider the advisability of organizing a natlnal temperance board reported that sucn boards should be established In the United States and Canada, the members to be composed of the first two oilicers of each general temperance organization. The congress then came to u close. CITY NEWS NOTES. The Blackford-street M. E. Church will give Its annual picnic at Blue-river Park, Tuesday, June 13.

State Ticket to Be Nominated To-Day Gossip About the Platform. COLUMBUS, O.. June 6. The Republicans of Ohio met In State convention today to nominate candidates for Secretary of State. School Commissioner," member Board of Public Works and Supreme Judge. The convention was called to order by J. e. Bonner, a manufacturer of Toledo, who Is chairman of the State central committee. On account of the 81,000 plurality for McKinley last fall the convention has 8C6 delegates. This is the fortieth annual Republican convention in Ohio. Hon. Bellamy Storer. member of Congress from the Cincinnati district, was presented as the temporary chairman and was tendered a continuous ovation as he bowed to Colonel Bonrver, to, the; audience, and then to Gov. McKinley. who occupied the box to the left of the stage. He made a spirited rpeech. After the announcement of the vice presidents, secretaries, members of . the State committee and the committees on resolutions, credentials, rules, order of iu3lness and permanent organization, President D. D. Woodmansee, of the State League, made a speech, urging all to attend the national convention of Republican clubs In Denver June 26. It was after 6 o'clock when the convention adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. To-night the committee on permanent organization called on Governor McKinley and asked him to preside. When the Governor found it impossible to do so ex-Secretary Charles Foster waa selected as permanent chairman. When Foster arrived at 10 o'clock to-night he was met at the depot by a delegation, headed by Judge Nash and ex-Assistant Postmaster-general Rathbone. Mr. Foster accepted the chairmanship and participated In the work of the committee on resolutions, which committee will be In session all night, owing to differences on the silver question. The committee is composed of men who agree on the tariff and other planks. The subcommittee drafting the platform is composed of Judge William .Lawrence, president of the Ohio woolgrowers' Association; George E. Baldwin, McKlnley:s neighbor at Canton; C. D. Firestone. . G.' H. Ely and J. W. Nichols, all tariff men. who favor the Indorsement of the McKinley law. It is likely that the platform will be more emphatic than ever for protection and the so-called honestmoney declaration, and be less specific on other Issues than usual. The new State committee to-night elected Chairman Bonner and Secretary Davis, and there Is no doubt about C. W. F. Dick being re-elected chairman and John Mallcy secretary of the executive committee, which means a continuation of the McKinley organization of the party in the State. Mnlne Republicans. LEWIS, Me., June 5. The Republican State convention was held in this city today and Henry B. Cleaves was renominated for Governor. .There were over 1,100 delegates present.

Congressman Boutelle was elected chairman of the convention. and in a lengthy speech inveighed against the present national administration. Hon. F. P. Spofford, of Deer Isle, followed with the nominating speech and presented the name of Governor Cleaves, who was renominated by acclamation. The resolutions favor International bimetallism; the. restriction of immigration and advocate a high protective tariff.

Morrill, a E renounced gold standard man. seems to ave a majority of the delegates In his train for Governor. Charles S. Martin, formerly Clerk in the national House of Representatives, has been agreed on for temporary secretary. Coxey Will Hun for Confrrena. MASSILLON, O., June 5. Jacob S.

There was a spirited argument as to whether or not women should be at the polls Saturday to urge ihe cUlins of their nominee. Finally a tanllng vote vkas taken, and most of them aroe fts in favor, but when it came to volunteers lor this work it was difficult to .et any (o undertake It.

Judge Winters Is firm In his declaration to wind up the Iron Hall trust this month. He Is exceedingly annoyed thit the receivers of other States do not decile what they are to do with their funds, but has hopes that some definite action will be taken soon. The court proposes to decl.ire a dividend to-morrow and haa instructed tho receiver and attorneys to be In court. The fact that a number of the States have not accounted, will greatly embarrass Receiver Falley in estimating the total liabilities of the Insolvent order. A Xlcke! "Worth ot Knougli. . Annie Hendren, residing at No. y',i H'est Washington street, became despondent last night over ljfe's gloomy prospects and took 5 cents worth of morrhlne.
