In order to show the comparative work of the minor baseball teams in the State the Journal will publish a table at the close of the season, giving , the number of games played, won. lost and percentage. To make this of real value to the different clubs the managers or captains should make a complete list of games won and lost at home and abroad, giving the number won and lost from each club. To secure recognition in the Journal table a club must have played at least ten games There are now five clubs, perhaps more, claiming the amateur championship Lebanon, Elwood, Kokomo, Union City and Knightstown. The only way to decide tbe question is by the actual record. .To prevent Inaccuracies the number won and lost from each club should be in the table. These tables should reach the Journal as soon as possible The first table will be published as soon as eight club have been heard from, and will be added to from, day to day until all are given. AMNESTY TO SAINTS I POLYUAMOrS MOIIMOXS PARDONED II Y THE PllESIDEXT. Civil Rights Restored to Those Who Are Xow Obeylnir the Lntr of the Land The Pullman Strike. WASI n N GTO N, Sept 27. The President has issued the following proclamation: "Whereas, Congress, by statute approved March 22, 1832, and by statutes in furtherance and amendment thereof, defined the crime of bigamy, polygamy and unlawful cohabitation in the Territories and other places within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, and prescribed a penalty for such crimes: and "Whereas, On or about the 6th day of October, lb'JO. the church or tne LAtter-aay Saints, commonly known as the Mormon Church, through its president issued a manifesto proclaimlnir the purpose of -.jaid church no longer to sanction the practice of Dolvtramous marriages, and calling upon all members and adherents of paid church to obey the laws of the United States in reference to said subject matter: and "Whereas On the 4th day of January. A. D., 1SD3, Benjamin Harrison, then President of the United States, did declare and grant full mrdon and amnesty to certain of fenders under said acts, upon condition of future obedience to their requirements, as is fully set forth in said proclamation of amnesty and pardon: and "Whereas, Upon the evidence now furnished me, I am satisfied that the memlbers and adherents of said churchgenerally ab stain from plural marriages and polygamous cohabitation, and are now living in obedience to the laws, and that the time has now arrived when the interests of. puDlic Justice and morality will be promoted by the granting of amnesty and pardon to all such offenders as have complied with the conditions of said proclamation, including such of said offenders as have been convicted under the provisions or said acts: "Now. therefore. I. Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, by virtue of the powers in me vested, do hereby declare and erant full amnesty and par don to all persons who have in violation of said acts committed either of the offenses of polygamy, bigamy, adultery or unlawful cohabitation under the color of polygamous or plural marriages, or who, having been convicted of violations of said acts, are now suffering deprivation of civil rights in conseouence of the same, exceptimr ail persons who have not complied with the conditions contained In said executive proclamation of Jan. 4, 1S93." rEIU'LEXIXG PROBLEM. A Strike ConimlHloner Discusses the Pnllmun Investigation. WASHINGTON. Sept- 27. The United States commission appointed 'to investigate the Chicago strike, after a two days executive session for the purpose of . discussing and decidfng on the nature of the report to be submitted to the President, adjourned this evening until the last week In October. The commission was able to harmonize such differences of opinion as existed, and there will be no minority report. The report will be a vigorous document, so one of the membeis of the commission said this evening, and will, after summarizing the facts as set forth in "the testimony and discussing at considerable length the schemes suggested for adjusting and avoiding differences between labor and capital, give its conclusions. These conclusions the commissioners have decided not to make public. It would, they say, be discourteous to the President to do so. 'The solution of the problem with which we are to deal," said one of the commissioners, "is a more diflicult one than that of the civil war. There the, government knew what it had to do meet force with force. This problem is beset with all the perplexities that surround the rights of capital and of personal liberty. We have had the experience of other countries to guide us. The report will discuss the question in all Its phases, and, I think, will offer something practical, though, of course, any legislation must be tentative." It Is believed the report will lay special stress on arbitration, and will offer a general scheme of arbitration for the settlement of future difficulties. Senls Diminishing- Rapidly. WASIIINGTC S, Sept. 27. Assistant Sec retary Hamlin, of the Treasury Department, has returned to the city from Ihis tour of the customs districts of the Pacific coast and a brief visit to the Prybiloff Islands. Mr. Hamlin stated to-day that the Northwestern frontier was greatly In need of . a more comprehensive police system. He arrived at the seal Islands after the killing season had closed. About fifteen thousand skins had been taken, he had learned. From the best information obtainable, he said, the seal herds were diminishing very rapidly, indeed, and only the greatest care could prevtnt their entire destruction. Sealing in the open sea had been carried on this season with great success, and many of the sealers had returned home loaded with skins. It is not unlikely that Mr. Hamlin will definitely recommend that sealing be entirely suspended for a period In order to prevent the complete destruction of the sealing Industry. Ezetn Mission to Mexico. WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The reported plan of Mexico to unite all the Central American states in one great republic is doubted at the Mexican legation here. The reports state that General Ezeta's visit to Mexico is part of a plan for the extension of the new republic from Texas to the Isthmus of ranama, and it is added that all the states save Guatemala favor the union. It is said, however, by the Mexican authorities here that they have never heard such a plan suggested in Mexico, and that no negotiations to that end have ever been maue among the Central American states. On the contrarj Mexico has, they say, quite enough territory already. Kzeta'a visit to Mexico is believed to be flue to the fact that he Is a Mexican by birth. Afterward, when his brother became President of Salvador, he maintained close personal relations with his native country. General Notes. TVASirrXGTOX, Sept. 27.

REV. HUNTER'S FIGHT

HOT OX THE TRAIL OP TEItltE HAUTE TOLICE AXD GAMBLERS. Another Case of lloemophtlla at Mar tinsville Trains Flagged by a Ghost Near Jeffersonvllle. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Sept. 27. Rev. R. V. Hunter, of the Central Presbyterian Church, who on Sunday created a sensa tion by attacking the trotting association for selling for 53,000 the wheel of fortune and hieronymus privileges at the recent race meeting, this evening published a card in which he tells how he furnished the grand jury some time ago with evidence on public gambling, but could secure no indictments because, as a grand juryman told him, the officials would not permit it. He says: "The gambler has immunity In this coun ty, and everybody knows it. Two men prac tically govern our police because they se cured the places for the police commlsisoners. The people pay taxes to uphold a police force, which is run in the interests of a few men who have a business interest that must not be affected by police interference. I have been looking up some of the Jobbery connected with our city govern ment, and I am astounded. We need a civic federation, and we are going to have it. The morals of Terre Haute have been de bauched long enough by a few conscience less, heartless and shameless libertines." Next week evangelist Chapman begins a series of meeings here, and Rev. Mr. Hunter's card is thought to be a sensational call on publlo sentiment. NIXETEEX WILD CARS. They Kan Dorrn a Three-Mile Hill and Demolish the Station. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept 27.-Nlneteen loaded freight cars on the Lake Erie & Western broke from a train at the top of a hill three miles from Lafayette last night and ran back to the station here, where the Chicago Big Four passenger was standing, ready to start for Indianapolis. Yardmaster Harry Brighty, of the Big Four road, fortunately turned a switch and threw the wild cars on a siding, and they crashed into the ladies waiting room, demolishing It and piling themselves in a heap. The only casualty known at this writing was that to Harry Washburn, a hackman. He was caught by tha wreck and severely injured. His horses were killed and buried beneath the debris. He was partially burled, but officers Rlnard and Powell dug him out. His leg is hurt, and it is feared he has internal injuries. The scene of the wreck has been visited by thousands to-day. Klaprsretl ty ft Ghost. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSON VI LLE, Ind.. Sept. 27. Connecting this city with New Albany, Ind., five miles south of here, is a branch of the Pennsylvania lines, known as the dinkey road. Over this road the passenger trains operated by the' Pennsylvania Company pass every thirty minutes, and also at Intervals the Monon trains, which go from New Albany to Louisville over this road. Several times during the past week the .Pennsylvania trains have been signaled to stop at Stile's station, located about three miles below here. In each case the engineers and firemen have seen what appeared to be a man standing In the middle of the track frantically moving his hands. When the train stopped nothing could be seen of the man. the figure disappearing as if into air. The Monon train has also been stopped in the same way. 'As this crossing is not a. flag station, the trains would not stop unless flagged In such a way as to give the engineers the Impression that something was wrong. The crews all claim It is an apparition. As they are all steady, well-known citizens, and not inclined to be in the least fanciful, they are believed by all the citizens. Several men have been killed at that crossing.Whatever the explanation of the mystery, the trains are often stopped. Homeopaths at Elkhart. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Judge McNutt to-day decided that tha Council elected this spring had no right to abolish the office of city "attorney, as it did to elect a Republican successor by immediately reestablishing the office. Foley, the former Incumbent, claimed that under the new McIIugh law the term of his office was extended to i this month. An appeal will be taken to Jthe Supreme Court.

The Mayor will meet his cabinet to-night for discussion of several propositions for th amendment of the charter. The chief one and one that numbers among its numerous late converts, it is said, the Mayor himself is the proposition to abolish the School Board and devolve its duties upon a board tto be appointed by the Mayor. It Is urged that with such a change a deal like the Rlcketts purchase could never be consummated because there would be four or five checks to the expenditure of money. Tha friends of the reform instance the appropriations in the Board of Public Safety. The estimates this year were first made by the board's clerk and then were inspected by the board. They, then went to the controller, who had to approve them before they could be submitted to the Council. The Council finance committee had a scrutiny of the figures before they were reported for passage, and then the Council as a whole voted upon the report. Thia does not take Into account the interest the Mayor and his cabinet would have in an appropriation likely to arouse general attention, the Mayor being the bull's eje of responsibility for the action to be tt.ken. The cause of the proposed change is the arbitrary disregard of public sentiment and public good by the School Board in the purchase of the Hlcketts property. There i also a proposition to be considered to regulate the payment of street assessments. The contractors have had difficulty in making collections and unscrupulous persons have taken undue advantage to extort large sums out of those who failed to pay on the moment. Both parties in their political nominations for the Legislature have taken cognizance of th abuse, and the next Legislature will ba asked to set a certain time for payment of such claims or to authorize their collection as taxes are collected. There Is a movement to have the charter provide for a park commission. The Commercial Club has aroused a large interest on the subject. The financial necessities of the city which last fall led to the opinion from the city attorney that salaries of policemen and firemen were payable quarterly Instead of monthly have now passed away and the Legislature will be asked to change the law so as to authorize a change to the old method of payments. The other amendments under consideration Include one to make the benefits of the Barrett law applicable only In sums of over $10 or other like trivial amounts. The various boards would like to have authority to order repairs without reference to the Board of Public Works, and the chief of police ought to have some legal authority in disposing of unclaimed property. The building inspector It is held ought to have more powers in condemning and ordering removed dangerous rubbish. r --- A Terrible Dream. Kate Field's Paper. Mrs. Blank went shopping. Mr. Blank went with her. No one can explain Just why he went, for she didn't positively compel it, and he 13 still regarded as sane. He went, anyhow. She wanted buttons. Those at Jenkins's store were too small, much too small. So she went to Kahn's and Poznanskl's and the Merchants' Supply; then to Poznanskl's and the Merchants fupply and Kahn's. At Jenkins's again, they showed her the same buttons and she found them too large. Blank guessed It a case of expansion caused by the heat; It seemed hot to him. She got almost to another place not quite I or they saw her coming and locked up for the night. So she went home. That night Blank's hard breathing woke his tired wife, so she woke him, in turn. "What's the matter?" she demanded. "I I had a dreadful dream," he gasped; "I thought we were both dead, that you had gone to heaven, and that I I handn't." "How perfectly awful," she cried, grasping him convulsively around the neck, "to be separated, and " "We we weren't separated," moaned Blank with a shudder; "I I could have endured that. But no no. I dreamt you wer to be allowed to go shopping forever, and that I was condemned to go with you." Pole on lYhUt." London Star.

J', C0RBETT CHALLENGED FITZSIMMOS AVAXTS TO FIGHT TUB CHAMPIOY OF THE WORLD. He Una Signed Articles to Contest for A Pure of $23,000 and AVI 11 Slake n Side llet of $10,000. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 27. Middle-weight champion Frtzsimmons this morning mailed the following letter to Oorbett, addressed "Mr. James J. Corbett, Champion of the World:" "Dear Sir At every opportunity, when my name has been used in connection with a battle with you for the world's championship, you have endeavored to belittle my claim for a fight on the grounds, as you put it, that I am not in your class, or that you have not seen he color of my money. I am very well aware of the fact that, although I have earned more money thac you at fighting since I have become middle-weight champion, you can buy and sell me financially, no doubt, your faculty of saving being better than mine. Therefore, I hope that a ten-thousand-dollar side bet will not stand as a barrier against securing a match with yu. The amount of money that I shall put up has decided many a championship contest in the past, and I hope you will not refuse when you sign for a $23,000 purse. Such Is offered by the Olympic Club at the present time. You will find my name attached without asking for a loser's end. In order to show m sincerity to the public at large, I will make you two propositions: "First That we engage the largest hall In New York cKy and give a boxing exhibition, four rounds, scientific points only, for the benefit of the poor of New York city. I will give you any pledge that you may demand that I will not attempt to knock you out In case competent Judges decide that I am not in your class, so far as skill and science are concerned, I will never ask for a match with you again. "Second I ask to be allowed to formally challenge you to give me a chance to meet you to a finish to decide the world's championship, according to Marquis of Queensbury rules. In order to again show my sincerity, I hereby deposit the sum of $10,000 as a side bet. with the privilege of increasing it later on if my financial standing will aUow. "I most respectfully call your attention to the fact That I have already signed articles to meet you before the Olympic Club for a $2S.0u0 purse, winner to take all. and I trust vou will see your way clear to do likewise." The letter Is signed "Robert Fitzslmmons, Champion Middle-weight of the World." CORBETT LAUGHED. The Champion Amused nt Fltzstm monn O'Donnell Want to FlffUt. . LEWISTON, Me., Sept. 27. Champion James J. Corbett, who appeared here tonight In "Gentleman Jack." was made acquainted with the fact that Fltzslmmons had published a formal challenge to fight him. The champion read the letter aloud to Steve O'Donnell md when he came to the place where the middle weight pledged himself to cot attempt a knock out, he roared with laughter. "Well, Steve, what do you think of that?" said Corbett, while O'Donnell smiled. After he had finished reading the challenge, Corbett turned to the reporter and said: "Of course I expected Fitz would do something of this sort, but he Is too ambitious. I will attend to him. however, when the proper time comes and will answer his letter in a few days. I don't propose to fight h'm." continued the champion, "until he has defeated some one worth mentioning. What's the use of my fighting a middle weight when there are plenty of men who can do him easily, lie wants to skip over all the other heavy weights and tackle me." "That's right, too, Jim," interposed Steve O'Donnell. "Ill fight him and take him any way he likes." Then turning to the reporter O'Donnell said: "You Just say for me that Fitz need not go so far. I'll make the same proposition to spar him in New York city that he makes to Corbett and then if I don't prove that he is out of his class, it will be time for him to talk about meeting Jim." "Will you accept his challenge for a finish fight?" was asked. "You bet I will," said Steve, "and I can cover his money Just as soon as he wishes. In fact, I am coming out with a challenge for him and he can get all the fight he wants without talking about fighting Corbett." Corbett Must Act Soon. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 27. As Corbett wired that Fltzslmmons must defeat O'Donnell before he would meet tfc? middleweight. President Scholl, of the Olympic Club, has determined to bring the affair to an Issue at once. He will wait three days for a reply, and If the same does not materialize he will call a meeting of the board, and a manifesto will be issued giving Corbett a reasonable length, of time to reply. Should he fail to aree to a meeting with Fiuslmmons the club will announce the latter as heavyweight champion of the world and ready to hold the title against any and all oomx-rs. The club claims the right to do this, as tha title was lost and won in lis arena.

Her Parcel Struck Twelve. Louisville Courier-Journal. The embarrassment and the amusement that a simple incident can sometimes occasion were illustrated on a Market-street electric car a day or two ago. Tne car was filled, and one of the passengers was an attractive young woman who had a larg package on her lap. Suddenly there was heard the peculiar burr-r-r that the old style of clocks maka as a warning that they are about to sounl the hour. Tne young woman almost leaped from the seat, colored to a bewitching crimson, and further attracted an undeslred attention by a half-smothered exclamation. In another instant the musical tones of a bell were heard, and the distressed young woman excitedly gathered the package to her bosom, as does a mother in attempting to silence the cries of a cblld. One time she seemed to be on the verge of tnrowir.g the package out of the window. Meanwhile the clock, which was on the hour of 12, continued to toll out the numbers with painful exactness and slowness. By the time the strokes had reached a half dozen every person on the car was laughing, and before the last strike was delivered the holder of the timepiece had recovered her self-control, and, after a brief battle for dignified composure, had given herself up to a full shre of the general enjoyment. .
