Patrician, IVnremnker, Violet and Others Win at Graveaeml. NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-The best race of th day at Gravesend was the third, and Xwr oni uuKnuwn reason Patrician was at

the remunerative odds of 6 to 1 at the post. He let Candelabra do all the running, and then came away ani won as he chose. In the fifth race Lady Violet was an odds-on

choice, while Stonenellie was heavily backed for the Dlacp. In fact, the latter carried much more money to run second than Ldy Violet did to win. When tne flag fell Correction went out In the lead as if it was a five-furlong race lnstead'of a mile, and Stonenellie ran behind her under a heavy pull, while Lady Violet had her head lust as high in the air in tniru piace. This was the order to the stretch, when Stonenellie passed Correction, anl Laly Violet did the same thing. Gritfln then took a steady pull on Lady Violet and won about as he pleased.

Kd Webster, who has been In New York and Chicago trying to secure the signatures- of Corbett and Jackson to articles tor a fight here, re turned home to-day. To a man who Interviewed him he said: "I am convinced that Jackson is afraid to meet CcTbett and simply wlshes to advertise himself. I don't think the two men will ever get together and I am satisfied that It will not be Corbett'9 fault. Nevertheless, I have authorized Edward Hackett, of New York, toact for the club and endeavor to make a match before Jackson sails for the We3t Indies if possible. I do not think the club will trv to get on a match between Corbett and Fltzslmmons. They would not prove the drawing card that Jackson and Corbett would." "Wizard" Edison Private 91111. NEWARK, N.

THE SHERIFF RESIGNS

HOWARD COU.TY OFFICIAL CAVT MAKE A LIVING IX THE OFFICE. ofRennlt of a Democrntlc I.ntr Second His -Natural Can Explosion la Alexandria State "ew. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO.,.Ind., Sept. 12. Sheriff Edgar A. Simmons to-day forwarded his resignation to Governor Matthews, asking immediate acceptance. Unler. the recentlyenacted fee and salary law the sheriffs salary, Is $2,0(0, without fees. Out of this he. must pay two deputies $1,200, with traveling and other expenses, amounting to $C0Q more. Judge Kirkpatrick ruled that sheriffs must keep prisoners without fees, and are allowed but 12' cents per meal for boarding them. The job is, therefore, not Relf-su?taining. and the, sheriff practically works for nothing after paying Ills help and necessary expenses. The sheriff figured from the docket for the next term of court, with its enormous amount of foreclosures, sheriff sales and other litigation, that he would fall from jstk) to behind. Under the law the County Commissioners can allow no claims for extra work, and all this the sheriff must hire done out of his own pocket. The work Is very heavy, keeping two riding deputies busy nearly all the time. Mr. Simmons, who Is the tirst sheriff to resign, says he is compelled to engage in other business to obtain a livelihood. Coroner Turpin. on whom devolves the sheriff's office pending the appointment of a successor, declares he will resign his office rather than have the shrievalty forced on horn. It is doubtful If the commissioners find a man to take the office. Mr. Simmons is a popular officer, and hi3 resignation Is greatly regretted. TIIC III ILDFNG COLLAPSED. Another Ills; XnturnI Gas Explosion nt Alexandria. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ALEXANDRIA, Ind., Sept. 12.-A destructive natural-gas explosion occurred In the business portion of the city at 4:30 o'clock this morning. The night watchman at the corner of Washington and Canal slreets at that hour was partially stunned by the concussion. He saw an entire building collapse, carrying with it a family of four, who occupied the rooms on the second floor. The Ill-fated building was the new addition attached to the rear of the Commercial Bank Block, owned by S. Free, and situated just opposite to the scene of the disastrous Whitesides Block explosion, which killed four victims last March. The lower rooms of the building, which is now a total wreck, were used by the United States Express Company, the Western Union Telegraph Company and an insurance agent as offices, while the flat above was occupied by C. Meyer, editor of the Alexandria Press, his wife, child and sister. The odor of ,sas had been detected the evening before, and no doubt the fluid collected In Fuflleient quantities to become ignited by the light kept burning all night in the Meyer apartments. The force of the explosion aroused the entire city, yet It was a half hour before the members of the Meyer family were extricated from the mass of brick, mortar and timber heaped on them. Most fortunately, the fire department arrived within a few moments and extinguished fhe flames, which otherwise would certainly have cremated the imprisoned ones. Meyer, his wife and Infant child escaped with nothing worse than severe bruises, the sister being tne oniy one of the four seriously though not fatally injured. The adjoining room, occupied by the A lpia r!; ITnrrlwrare Cnmnn n v -a partially demolished, and plate-glass windows were scattered In all directions. The total loss will exceed $6,000, wholly unprotected by Insurance. - AVAXTED THE MOXEY. Serious Predicament of n Clinton IlaMbanil and Fnlher. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CLINTON, Ind., Sept. 12.-A family, fight, here to-day caused to be made public-the-details of a forgery that was perpetrated yesterday. Mrs. Malinda Boatman had In the Rockville bank $1,031, the proceeds of the sale of their farm, and to keep it out of her husband's hands the Lad it payable to the order of IJ. H. Morgan, a merchant. Yesterday her husband presented an order to Mr. Morgan for the money and was given a check for It, but, being suspicious, Mr. Morgan notified Mrs. Boatman, who pronounced the order forged, and went to Rockville and stopped payment. Foiled In his attempts to get the money. Boatman drank heavily and started to break up a buggy, when his son James Interfered and a fight followed. Boatman says James shot at him four times and shows his hat full of holes, while a big gash on his head bled profusely. James, however, says he hit his father with a club, as ho was coming at him. The old man was arrested and placed In Jail on a charge of breaking the buggy, ami may be held to the grand Jury on the forgery case. TI" PL ATE "WAGES CI T. Manufacturer Say n Redaction of HO Per Cent. In Nepesnary, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD. Ind., Sept. 12. The American Tin-plate Company has served notice on the employes of the hot mills department of the plant that a cut of 23 or 30 per cent. in wages will be made Oct. 1, and the employes, who are Welshmen, refuse to accept it. When the scale was signed, in July, It was for a year, with the provision that ll the new tarlfr bill changed or did away with the duty on tin-plate there was to be a reconsideration of the wape scale as it relates to the hot mills department. The proprietors of the plants here and at Gas City say they are compelled to ;mke toe cut to meet the new conditions imposed by the change in the tariff, and the men are equally determined not to irive in. A committee from the two plants will meet wltn the conference committee at Pittsburg to-rnorrow. When the matter will doubtless be adjusted. . RAX GILES M I' R HERE II.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND. Ind., Sept. 12. When the Indianapolis Journal reached Richmond this morning, and the article regarding Dr. Dougan Clark was read and noised cbout. It created considerable surprise. People had heard of hl3 being baptized, but they v.-cre not aware that he had been asked to cer.se his ministry at tho East Main-street Friends Church because of it. and that he had done fo. Members of the Friends denomination are quoted as saying that his urtlon will not produce a ripple in the church, but Dr. Clark hiirself believes that it will. The exact rrisons for his action will be foun 1 In the following interview, which he gave thus morning: - submitted to the right of baptism, first, because I believe thu the rrc-pjnder-ance of Sorirturo is in favcr of it. an I, therefore, I did net feel easy to omit it. Secondly, I did it to throw my Influence in favcr of the liberty of conscience In the in-livldu.il men;b?rsnip. Ry this liberry of conscience I r:fer to points not essential to salvation. My b?lief Is, according to the old aphorism, that in essentials there should Ih unity; in nonessentials, liberty, and In all things, charity. I do not believe that George Fox would have disowned a member, and can hardly believa that he would have displaced a minister.

for being baptized. The meeting of ministers and elders has requested m; to cex:v? my ministry at East Main-street Meeting, and I shaJl comply with the request." The nritter Ir. Clark continu'ng as a mmVer of the Earlham College Tacult as instructor in tne biblical department cannot be settled until the yearly meeting convenes, when It will come before the board of trustees of the Institution. Until that tlmo he will continue hl3 work.

PLEADS IXSAX1TY. Sheriff "WIllins Defence In the Halts Murder Trial at Vlncenne. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. VINCENNES. Ind., Sept. 12. -The trial of ex-Sheriff Lemuel Willis for the murder of Prosecuting Attorney Hultz. of Sullivan county, was brought, on a change of venue, to the Knox Circuit Court here, and after much parleying began In dead earnest this afternoon. It will be bitterly fout?nt. Three hundred witnesses have been subpenaed. Willis Is accused of disguising himself and. taking a shotgun, marching down the street, early one Sunday morning, in Sullivan and, meeting his enemy, shooting him down. The provocation was the Intimacy existing between Hultz and Mrs. Willis. At the time of his sensational death Hultz was a candidate for Congress. The case commenced at noon, but the jury will be selected with difficulty. The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge, but also put in a plea of insanity at the time of the killing, although no admission is made that defendant did the killing. VOORIIEES GETS A RESPITE. "Will Xot Fire HIh Indiana Gun Refore Sept. '2'2. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. The date Of Senator Voorhees's opening speech in the Indiana campaign at Terre Haute has been changed to Sept. 22.

Good AVord for Capt. Worrell. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MADISON, Ind., Sept. 12. Capt. John Worrell, of Clayton. Ind., filled the last of his appointments in this county at Dupont this evening. Monday night he spoke at Canaan, t-.nd last night at Kent, to large and appreciative crowds at both places. Captain Worrell Is a vote getter beyond doubt, his manner and language being such as to give offense to no one, although he makes his points strong and maintains his propositions In the most vigorous style. He makes no attempt at toplofty oratory, but In plain conversational terms presents the facts with such force as to carry conviction to his hearers.

FINANCES OF THE ORDER. Quartermaster-general Louis E. Wagoner, In his report, states that the affairs of his department are in good condition. There are no unpaid bills against the National Encampment and nothing owing to the National Encampment except the per j capita tax of two of the smaller depart- i ments. He suggests larger and fewer requisitions in order to save expenses in shipping, etc. He also makes the following suKgrestlons: "Require the quartermas-ter-general to send the needed blanks without requisition to all departments twice a year, say, on Nov. 1 for the returns due on Dec. 31 and on May 1 for those due on June 30; Issue officers cards Independent of issues of rituaLs at 10 cents per set; ime seiarate items for the several rank Ftraps, and rearrange the order of supplies on the requisitions so as to put them in logical and consecutive sequence" No change in the price of supplies is recommended, as the present balance in the general lund will soon be drawn upon and reduced by the reduction In membership, as already developed in the amount of taxes paid by the several departments. Receipts for per capita tax, while showing a larger total for 1S94 than for 1833, show slight decreases from the six months ending Dec. SI. 1893, to the six months ending June 30. 1S34. in all but five departments, and that the total Increase In these amounts to but $1.80, the largest Increase being in the department having the largest membership, but amounting to only $1.33. The condition of the fiag fund from which to furnish flags for Union graves in Southern cemeteries is as follows: Balance from last report. )714.9T: received from Mrs. Armilla A. Cheney, national treasurer of the W. R. C. $815.97; received from members and posts of the G. A. R.. $196.03, making a total of ?1.72ti.S7. Kxpenditures during the year, $l,4'.tf.ti4; cash balance on hand, in addition to 21.878 fiags, $230.33. It has been suggested that cash appropriations for music, transportation, etc., on Memorial day should be made In addition to the- issues of flags, but the foregoing financial exhibit shows it to be, under existing conditions, altogether impracticable. The following general financial statement is then made: Balance on hand Sept. 8, 1893 General fund, S&06D.07; Grant monument fund. $3.678.62: llajc fund, $714.95; received from sale of supplies, $3,778.82; per capita tax, $9,44G.73; interest on United States bonds, $300; interest on deoslts. $1C1 .$; Interest on Grant monument fund, $134.80; contributions to flag fund, $1,012.02; contributions to Sherman monument fund, $204.50. making the total to be accounted for $16,651.25. Expenditures Supplies, $7,387.27; traveling expenses, $1,673.15; salaries. $3,838.76; postage and incidentals, $5,685.92; flag fund, $1,4J6.64; Graat monument fund, $3,000, making the total, $23,081.84.

The organization has $16,000 Invested in United States bonds, 4 per cent., due in 1907. Senior Judge Advocate-general Leo Rassleur. In his report, recommended some change In the form of court-martial proceedings. Sutk eon-genera I George R. Graham reported that of a total of forty-four lepartments only seven medical directors had sent in reports. He said: "I made the effort to secure, by correspondence with the authorities of several large cities, the mortuary statistics of the males over forty-five years of age in those cities in order to compare them with the death rate per one thousand of the Grand Army veterans of the same " localities. Unfortunately the vital statistics of the several cities were kept in such a manner that the required information for comparison could not be obtained. These comparative statistics, if they could be obtained, would die of Immense value to the G. A. R. committee on pensions, as I oelieve that they would tend to show that the death rate per one thousand among the survivors of the war is much larger than that of males of the same age who were not participants In the war, and hence that disease and disability is far more prevalent among the veterans than among the other class." LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE'S REPORT. Thi report of the committee on legislation, after reciting that the G. A. R. endeavored to urge upon the Fifty-third Congress, at its long session, the duty incumbent on this great Nation to give preference in every public employment to the survivors of the war for the Union by the enactment of- a law which would, though tardily, carry out promises made men in Sections 1754 and 1755, Revised Statutes United States, passed March 9, 1855, says: "Rut alas, a3 the war days recede furthor from the remembrance of the people of the generation of which we formed a part and the sacrifices and sufferings of those days are unknown, except by tradition, to those who have since been born, the greatest indifference seems to be shown on the part of our national lawmakers " toward those who fought the battles of the Union and still survive. In consequence, but scant attention is paid to any appeals made for justice to these men. .And this will continue until too late for our comrades to profit thereby, unless we. as members of the Grand Army of the Republic, oecome more closely united In a fraternity which means something as a cardinal prin ciple and the motto or our order is regarded as more than a figure of speech among ourselves. Resides this, there Is great need that those charged with the lawmaking power in the national Congress shall attain a higher and broader patriotism than they now seem possessed of. This can hardly be wondered at. when we reflect that men who rought to destroy the Union now dominate and control in both legislative branches of the national government." The committee further reports that there is no law through which preference is given the veterans, and every change In governmental administration has affected him In public service to his detriment. The committee recommends that the National Encampment direct the commander-in-chlef-elect to promulgate, either in general orders or by circular, the text of H. R. No. 324. and urge upon the comrades to interview or write the Senators from their several States and Representatives in Congress from their home districts, urging favorable action unon the bill at the second session of the Fifty-third Congress, to meet Dec. 1 next. Senior Vice Commander I. N. Walker, in his report, said: "I have visited many of the encampments during the past year, and It was especially gratifying to note tiie heartiness of welcome and the fullness of hospitality with which the citizens of ttie cities and towns in which the encampments were held received the veterans, proving thus, by word and deed, that t'le lamps of memory and gratitude are still brightly burning among a loyal peonle." Junior Vice Commander J. C. Rigzersiid: "I have visited the encampments of Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi. Alabama, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Kansas, and found everywhere that the boys In blue are enthusiastic, wide awake and zealous In the gool cause." After the reading of reports, appointment of committees, etc., the next business was the fixing of the next encampment place. Ijoulsville was selected by a unanimous and rising vote. The nominations 'or comrrander-in-ehlef were then taken uu. and the names of Messrs. I. N. Walker, of Indiana, and Lawl?r. of Illinois, were presented. Nominations were close 1. and the convention adjourned until tomorrow morning. Mr?. Genc-r?l Custer sent to the nat'onM encamorrent for use during the rresent session the tab'e unon which General I?e figned the articles of capitulation. Th table wai originally the prop?rtv of Goner-.! Sheridan, but he gave It to General Custer. While 200.COO persons have left the city si'ic-ft the l?t o'l sMdlT passed li review yesterday, there are still 2fMXV strangers In town, thf majority of whom will stay until Saturday or Sunday, while some remain even longer.
