ventlon here Sept 20, bgun to regard their unnamed nominee as the favorite, and there ttas much excitement The tide was turned In the afternoon, when R. J. Walsh, the committeeman from Breckinridge' home, and one of his strongest supporters, announced that he would never vote to go behind the returns rhen the committee met at Frankfort. As this would leave the committee a tie, er five to five, and as other Breckinridge men on the district committee who had etood by him to iie last were not disposed to go behind the returns, the old guard of the silver-tongued orator gave up the Ktru?r'e. They vrill not, however, concede the plurality of 52$ which the Owens men claim to-rright from complete returns. Among: Breckinridge's strorest friends are the nominees here on the county ticket, and they, as well as other county candidates, were not disposed to hazard their interests by assisting in throwing out any one of the Owens votes at Frankfort next Saturday. It is not likely that there will be more agitation. Colonel Breckinridge will serve In Congress till next March.

BRECKIXRIDGH AT WASHINGTON. He la Ostraclned by Public Men and Ilia Influence In Gone. Letter In Cincinnati Tribune. A Kentucklan in Washington holding on of the highest official positions under the administration said to-night to the correHpondent of the Tribune that in his opinion. Colonel Breckinridge would never again appear in the House of Representatives. He had it from a close friend of the silvertongued orator that Breckinridge had declared that unless he could come back to Wafhingtori with the indorsement of his constituents he would not come at all. "If Cobnel Breckinridge should com to this decision," said this Kentucky member of the administration, "he would, I think. m.et the wishes of the great body of the people In the bluegrass State, regardless of party. They feel that his usefulness as a legislator is gone, and even those who voted for him in the primaries yesterday did so more for family reasons rr because they sympathized with the desperate situation of the man than because . Ihiy expected him to resume his old iosItion among the leaders of the House." The belief here Is that the strongest reason which will prevail with Breckinridge ihoold ho. not withdraw from Congress at oaca will be fcls need of the salary of the place. Breckinridge Is a poor man. He Is In debt everywhere, and the Judgment which MLss Pollard secured against fclrn is not worth the paper on which it is written so far as any financial benefit goes. Whether the stress of poverty should stifle the promptings of a sensitive spirit is a problem which only a Breckinridge can decide. Breckinridge Is now ostracised in the House. He has been & man apart there ever lnc the day of his return from the disastrous trial which resulted In a verdict b era Inst him. There are not a dozen men on the Democratic side who will volunteer to spak with him without original advances on his part, and there are scores of men there with whom he was once on friendly terms who will not now speak with him at all. It 13 not likely that this condition of affairs will be changed by his attempt at a vindication and its unsuccessful issue. So far does the feeling extend that there was a rirvrg protest against Breckinridge reporting fhe goneral deficiency bill from the appropriations committee, of which he is a member. In spite of the fact that this is one of the most ordinary of routine procedures. Breckinridge having been placed at the head of the subcommittee In charge of the general deficiency bill early In the session, he Insisted upon reporting the bill, but the feelinsr was too strong, and the next day he departed for Kentucky and left Governor Sayers, the chairman of the committee, to take charge of the bill cn the floor. In the next session of Congress not only will Breckinridge be witiout influence for good, but the mere fact of his support of or opposition to a bill will have a tendency to induce other members to vote the other . way. In view of all this the only thing for Breckinridre to do if he wishes best to -serve hi3 district will be to resign his position without delay. He need not be without means of employment. He Is a good lawyer, and.' although a little venerable to make an essay at elevating the stage, he la none too old to go on the lecture platform, where his genuine eloquence and fame would Insure him large audiences and . generous gate receipts for a time at least. SIIOUTIXtt FRAUD. folonrl Ilrreklnrlde TIiinI; He Wan Cheated at the Poll. CINCINNATI, Sept. 17. The Enquirer has corrected and official returns from the eight counties of the Ashland district showing a plurality of 310 for Owens over Breckinridge1. When asked about the counts in the county to-day, Colonel Breckinridge refused to say anything, except that the re sult as shown on the face of the returns wa obtained by flagrant frauds, and if they were eliminated the nomination would i purely be given to him. He would not ritny that he would contest Owens s nomination next Saturday. Ho would not af firm or deny anythlrg, and is feeling very tino about the action of srme of his old v friends. The Knauirer s advices from dif ferent count le is that the Breckinridge iru-n are quietly but earnestly working so tfrrvt they v.ill have all the evidence possi ble in event a content Is made Saturday. It Is generally thought that every effort will be made to get Breckinridge's friends on the committee to cor.sent to opening a contest and hearing evidence on the

i chiigcs of fraud, especially In Scott county.

The trial of Mrs. Cordelia Coleman, the ex-society leader, of Thorntown, this county, who is charged with arson, was called In the Boone Circuit Court Ihere this morning. ard gives promise of being full of sensa tional disclosures The woman married William B. Coleman In 1SS0. Like his wife, William was fond of society, and swell parties and dinners were a common occur rence at the Coleman home. But the qui etude of their apparently happy lives often gave way to harsh words, occasioned by th husband's fondness of ladies. His nu merous escapades were always forgiven by Mrs. Coleman until during the summer of 18&), when he returned from one of his periodical visits to Iowa, bringing- with hlra Mrs. Ella Byder, the pretty twenty-year-old wife of Edward Kyder, of Wappolo. Ia. He explained her coming to his wife by saying she was his illegitimate daughter, whos6 husband was a cruel wretch, and that she would only remain with them for a few days until shn could arrange for a permanent home. The cli max came about a week after her arrival. when the deserted husband of Coleman s paramour put in his appearance , and denounced the guilty couple. Mrs. CoJeman at once left her husband and brought suit for divorce, which wasr granted Oct. 21. isyo. All efforts at reconciliation proved in vain, and Coleman waa again married within a year. Cordelia, however, was a broken-hearted woman, and, taking up her abode on a little farm about a mile, from that of her ex-husband, she began a life of apparent seclusion. Shortly after Cole man s 6econd marriage began a series of depredations, whicCi ceased only after the arrest of his divorced wife. First a barn was burned, then his carriage was cut to pleoes, his stock poisoned, another barn destroyed by lire, and finally, about a year ago, his residence was burned to the ground, and the escape oz the family on this occasion waa only a few moments before ths roof feel in. Coleman then brought a civil suit in the Montgomery (Circuit Court for damages, and alter a long, sensational trial was 'awarded $3,500. The grand Jury of this county then Indict ed his former wifeu and she was at once arrested. While her many friends flocked to her relief, she stubbornly refused to enter Into a recognizance, and for the past seven months she has occupied a chjerless cell in the Boone county Jail.

Both Crops in California Reported to Be Below the Average. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17. The vintage in California (has begun. The earlier varieties of grape are beins gathered and the picking of the main crop will be started this week. The general estimate of the crop is from 15,000,000 to 1S,000,0(X gallons of wine. This is considerably below the average. The formation of the California Wine Association, composed of seven of the largest wine dealing bouses on the Pacific coast, has changed the condition of the wine industry in this State. The Independ ent dealers, consisting Of three leading houses, and all the smaller ones, are ngating the association vigorously. The wine makers nave so far failed to organize, but there is a scheme on foot, If the growers can be Induced to act together, to form a nool. with the assistance of the State Viticultural Commission, and establish a warehouse In New York and market their wine there Independently of the wine deal ers.

Flight of Two Bankers with the Saving's of Foreign Laborers. PITTSBURG, Fa., Sept. 17.-The police department has been notiflea of the sudden disappearance of Vincent Carrier! and Salvatore Levata, two Itauan bankers, and with them has disappeared the ..ard-earned savings of a number of foreign laborers who estimate the amount of money taken at from $3,000 to $10,000. Within an hour from the time the news of their sudden departure was made known, hundreds of depositors called at the establisnment'in the hope of securing their savings, but they found the doors closed. Excitement ran high, and If the rascally bankers had put in an appearance at that time they would in all probability have been lynched. The heavier depositors were almost beside themselves with rage and declared that they would hunt down Carrier! and Ievata if it took a lifetime to find them. ELLIOTT 18 CIIAUiIOS.

This was on Saturday. Dr. Carver's poor showing was caused, in part by a sore shoulder. This member did not bother, idm so much to-day, and he gave Elliott a much harder tight MAY LOWER WAGES. Prospective Trouble in the Pittsburg Minlngr District. PITTSBURG, Sept. 17. Lrfist week the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company won the fight with their miners and succeeded In getting all of them at work at a 55-cent rate. This resumption ap parently places the other operators in the district, who are paying the Columbus scale of 69 cents, at disadvantage, and it Is probable that a combine will be made to force their men to work for no cents. To meet any such movement the mine workers orhciais are preparing to have their men continue work at the reduced rate, but In each case civil suit will be : entered to com pel the operators to make good the loss. and for the future live up to the agreement The miners claim that the New York and Cleveland company's coal does not come Into competition with any other output in the district, and, therefore, the break does not impair the Columbus agreemeat Will Import Colored Miners. CLEVELAND, O., Sept 17.-The coal operators of the Massillion district held a secret meeting at the Weddell House to day, at which every mine in the district was represented. The meeting was called to bear the reports of committees ap pointed to secure miners and to make final preparations for breaking the long strike. It Is understood that a large number of col ored miners will be brought in from West Virginia immediately and put to work In the strikers' places. A strong guard, under command of a Cleveland military man. has been secured to protect the new men. In case of trouble, which seems quite prob able, the Fifth Itegiment of this city will be sent to the scene on a special train. The operators decline to name the day on which the mines will be opened, but it will undoubtedly be this week. Deba's Mission nt Ilnrrlnbnrjr. HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept 17.

The Grand it might almost be called the new Grand opened the season, last night, with a blaze of electric lights and a coating of royal red and gilt that -gave the interior such a warm effect as to make one think of summer toilets and lemonade with straws dancing In tall glasses. Messrs. Dickson & Talbott have given the cozy lit tle theater a new dress and it looks as pert as a Hoosier girl at a picnic. Society can hardly help but welcome the change as the gorgeous, almost blazing tone forces the toilets of the ladies into a prominence never before obtained in any assemblage hall in this city. With all the catering to line arts and music In which Indiana polls has been struggling for years to show her cultured taste there has never been a place in the city that really deserved a full-dress audience. The badly-decorated Grand Opera House has, heretofore, been little better than many of the barn-storming pens with which the country towns are supplied. The bedraggled English's, for years, has looked like a washed calico dress, not half Ironed, while that great hulk of a battery Interior at Tomlinson's Hall really never hail pretensions to being more recherche than a poultry show. F.or the first time in the history of the admittedly charming little capital city, whose pride ha3 never been ousted less than par, Dickson & Talbott have h!t upon a sumptuously colored theater Interior which really suggests dresa suits and box parties. There la jut one thing they have left undone and their own acute business perception will, no doubt, speedily urge them to remedy this. That Is a change of scene settings. Artist John Wilson has furnished a new drop curtain . with a border well executed In rather too flaming reds, perhaps, but which is in keeping with the fundamental tone selected. The Grecian betrothal scene selected for a center piect. with Its gray and white and a roofing of green foliage, is a welcome relief to the burning interior. It is also deserving more than brier pral&e, for ta

artist has really attacked a classic effect J that broadly suggest Alraa-Tacema. although Mr. Wilsun says It is a true copy of an unpretentious painting by a German painter and the Tadema genre was not ob served until it was near compieiion. iui this handome drop and the newly-colored house the Grand should have new stage settings to match, and that without waiting for the dress to grow old- There are several very pretty interior settings already in tbe house, but new exteriors are a crying necessity. From an artistic standpoint a critic with a taste that has outgrown smiting colOiS. might feel inclined to Pick an argument with Dickson & Talbott on their judgment regarding the tone se lected, but as the general errect or the Grand Is now so far above what it has been ihere Is no crying necessity for fastidiousness. . The audience last nisrht was a flattering turn-out for such a bad night, the house being comfortably well filled. "Plue Jeans" behind the footlights went orr witn its wejiknown dash. "Th Rising Sun Roarers," with drum malor Mallov doinx the bump tious baton whirl, precipitated the usual uproar In both pit and balcony, and got a cheering encore. June, with her fat "mulev" offering for Perry nasconrs bar becue, surrounded by a crowd of howling villagers, converted the stage into a Harumscarum scene that was only second in sensation to that produced by the snorting band. In the sawmill scene there was an Incident not laid down. In the business' prescribed by Joseph Arthur, and one that causes the spectators to shudder at the possibile tragedy in which the play might sometime end. In rushing down the steps from the old omce to liberate her lover strapped to the platform that is moving on toward the buzz nir circular saw Ann e uuckiey. last nignt tripped and fell headlong. frhe rat tied down the steps and almost roke her proud little nose on the floor of the mill. To pick (herself up. even without stopping to rub 'the brutss on her Knees ana snmoones, took a ctitain amount of time for which there vat. no allowance on the part of the moving plane bearing Mr. JJ.wood toward the murderous saw. A number of women, with suffocating gasps, buried their faces to prevent beholding the sight . or Mr. Elwood's body being sawed in two. Such a climax would undoubtedly have made William Klwood the not renowned of all actors on the American stage, fo a time, at least, but It would also have put him in a poor fix to reap any of the benefits of his sudden leap to fame. Miss Buckley, however, made a wild dash and tore away the straps that bound him Just ai3 the screeching saw teeth were about to take a tite of his arm and tne trageay was averted. Some may have thought this was all in the play, but It wasn't except on this occasion. There have been some changes in the actors since "liJue Jeans" last appeared here. Some are better and some arc worse, so that they about even up. The play is given true to the .first conception of the producers. and hence is still prodigiously pleasing to the audience. EnKllli' A Hide for L.Ife. The new candidate for melodramatic honors, "A Ride for Life." had its first presentation in this city at English's last night. Tiiere Is enough action In the piece for several plays and enough machinery and scenes to convert the back of the stage Into a railroad machine shop. Walter Fessler, the originator, rightly styles himself the author and Inventor. The ride for life Is executed by means of a locomotive that. If on rails, would be. going at a mlle-a-minute rate. The locomotive about all goes, except the smoke stack and cab, but It Is off the ground and the wbeels whiz without gaining ground. The gravel roadbed and dog fennel along the side axe made to dart backward at a dizzy rate to cover the Impression that the locomotive is tearing across the country. A continual shewer of sparks and smoke are driven back over the cab and coal tender In an extremely realistic way, and it is plain that if the hero, who has Just escaped from jail, where he, .was, about to be executed, for another's' crime, only keeps hl3 place back among the coal, all the sheriffs in the State of Indiana cannot overtake him. There is an abundance of appropriate scenery for the piece and considerable bright dialogue. Many of our old friends of the vlllain-still-pursued-her school, were recognized and cheered to the echo by the gallery, which was better patronized last night than ths pit. The cast Is large and temple. Including Walter Fessler, Harry Driscole, Huga Ford, Bert Coote, I. N. D;-ew, J. P. Winter. Kl P. White, Charlet Miller, W. H. Palmer, J. C. Nlckson, with Julia Kingsley, Ltlie Dinsmoreand May Nugent. At the Park Theater. The Park Theater patrons thoroughly enJoy the Neuvilles, whose new play is probably the strongest those clever artists have ever had. They opened a week's engagement yesterday in "Cell 22" before two immense audiences, who cheered the rapidlysucceeding incidents of a thrilling character In a way that betokened their feeling of enthusiasm. Madame Xeuvllle appears in a part somewhat dissimilar from the emotional line of wor to which she has been accustomed, but she Is none the less excellent In the new character. Augustin Neuviile has a dashing rile after the general style of those which he has made conspicuous In past seasons, and adds another to his successful line. These artists will always retain their hold on the patrons of the popular-pr'.ced houses. The supporting company is, perhaps, the best in all respects the .Neuvilles ever had, and the new play Is already a favorite here. The standing room sign was out by 7:4. last night. "Cell 22" will be kept on until Friday, when "The Boy Tramp" will be presented. There will be the usual daily matinees. At the Empire Theater. "The World" drew two good houses to the Empire yesterday, and the revival of the old drama was well received. The drama was well mounted and the cast was acceptable. The panorama scene was loudly applauded, and the well-known raft scene and the feature of the stage settings were realistically presented. "The World," In story and plot. Is Interesting, full of strong sensational climaxes. There is a good vein of comedy running through the piece. The cast of the drama Includes Mabel Eaton, Harry Lewis, George O. Morris, C. E. Walters and Miss Hose Wilder, all of whom met the hearty approval of the audience. "The World," in lt3 present presentation, is in many ways the better of any other former production in this city, and lovers of the sensa clonal drama will find it to their liking. It will be given every evening this week, with a matinee dally at 2. A LIST OF MISSING PEOPLE. ' Hazel Sanders's Body Keportcl to Have Been Found in-Eale Creek. List Thursday Hasel Sanders, of No. 232 East Court street,. disappeared, and has not been seen since. Last nig"ht It was rumored that her body bad been found In Eagle creek, near the National road, but the matter was not reported to the police or Coroner Deck. Robert Trice, aged thirteen years, residing at No. Z21 Wjst Maryland street, 13 reported rrdsslng. Albert Knickbocker, agel eleven years, residing at No. 159 Union street, left home last Saturday and has not been sien since. His parents are greatly worried over his absence. . Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, patrolman Crane saw a little curly-headed boy, about fve years old. wearing dresses, hopping on' street car3 at Illinois and Ohio streets. The little fellow could not pive his name or address, and the ofllcor took him to the police station, where he was In charge of police matron Mrs. Uuchanan last night.

Holliday will not accept th nomination for the Legislature, and the Democracy will have to try ajraln to fill Its. legislative ticket- Mr. HoIIilay sill yesterday that he had not the eilKhtit idea that there was a possibility of his nomination, did not know thit there was to be a political convention of any sort on last Saturday. He says that he did not think that a political convention would nominate a man without any party connection whatever. This, he claimed for himself, saying that he was not a Penvoerat. rvsither Is he a Republican. lie says that In polilcs he Is a free lance, and votes independently. While he admits the support of the Democratic tariff doctrine and some cf its State legislation, he says he would not support nor vote with the pnrty If the money question were tbe issue, becaus? he does not believe its financial policy to be a wund one. He said that having ten a free lance for twenty years, he saw no reason for becoming a partisan now. He believes that if he accepted the nomination and were elected his constituents would expect him to support party measures, and would have a right to exiect it. This, he thinks, he might not be able to do conscientiously, and hence will not consent to be put in a position where be would be compelled to. Another reason given by him for refusing to accept the nomination was that all of his-time is oocupied with his duties as president of the Union Trut Company, which he did not care to slight for the Legislature. Jadge A. C. Ayres is still seeking soma v;ay in which he can slide oul of the nomination with good grace. He was aked by a Journal representative yesterday If he would accept the nomination. "I have not yet decided that question," he answered. "You do not wish to accept it?" suggested the reporter. ' "No, I do not want to accept it 1 I can gH out of it. It is a business preposition with roe. If I accept the nomination X would, of course, have to serve if elected, aad 1 do not care to give two months from rriy business. Of course, 1 do not know tliat I would be elected if I accepted the nmlnatlon. If I knew that 1 would not lh elected I would be willing to nake the race on the ticket, as 1 couli manage to Iare the time this would require. My f i lends have been urging me to accept it, though I have said positively that I would not. I cannot tell what my ultimate decision may be. I have not yet taken the time to consider the matter carefully, which I shall do before making a final decision. I shall consider it within tbe next fw days and make known my Intention." Even ex-Mayor Sullivan, despite the political obligations that would necessitate his acceptance of the nomination, is trying f crawfish out of It. He said yesterday he did not know lust yet what he would do. He also frankly admits tha. ht does not want to run and may decide nol to do so. SINE ADDITIONAL CAKRIEUS. Postmaster Salmi Granted an Increase In His Force. The present force of carriers at the Indianapolis postofflce is to be Increased by nine additional men. Yesterday Postmaster Sahm received word from the Postmastergeneral that his request for an Increase In the force of carriers had been favorably considered and he would be entitled to nine more. The new men will be selected Nov. 1 from the substitute list, which Is already large. This will leave nine vacancies on, the eligible list. Postr aster Sahm says that there are from 5,000 to lO.OoO people in Indianapolis who have been compelled to get their mail at the general delivery because of the insufficient force of carriers. With the increased force he says he will b able to deliver mail to every citizen in Indianapolis, and in many sections of the city where deliveries have been infrequent the mail facilities will be much improved. The department will at once begin the work of redistricting the city. The Thirteenth Itrunlon.
