He aald. in part: "No limitations have been laid upon the eminent men and women who are to address you, either as to the matter or manner of their discussions. Even with most faithful loyalty to that 4 profound courtesy which the occasion requires. It cannot fall that much will be said alien to the thought and even the faith of many who listen. No speaker upon the platform is responsible for anyone except himself. This is also entirely in harmony with the method by which the world is moving towards its adjustments of peace. Unity- can be accomplished by no spiritual ledgefd-jmaln. In these days many are crying, lo here, and lo there, may be found the heavenly kingdom of peace. Go ye not after them. It, is the- business of each individual to aeek honestly and adequately to express his individual life. There is nothing else possible to the human soul but to be faithful to Its personal vision of the truth. There Is nothing else for the human hand but to seek earnestly to do the nearest dutr. There is no choice of the loving heart but to worship before such altars as bring the wldet ana nenest Denisons or inspiration and of grace. To neither state craft nor church craft has been committed the organization of a lasting peace. As its achievements will be mightier than human imagination, so its forces are deeper and holler than the human will. They flow forth from the fountains in the heart of God. Hut because God Uvea and because God is one; because man lives and is the child of God; because the harmony of God and man is the final purpose of the kingdom of earth and time, to surely will the kingdom of heaven come, dream of poets, and prophets and ecers. There Is a faroff music, but long eince audible to gifted oul3 who have brightened the world with psalm3 of redemption. That music is drawing nearer, and in due time It will not be for the earn of the few alone, but for the ration of the waole earth. When at length the common mind and heart of humanity is flooded w.a deepest and dlvinest harmony, it will be a message that all can unertanl, for Its refrain will be the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood o IT 3 n Rev.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUR, Ind., July 18. After two days and nights of Investigation and the examination) of many witnesses Josie and Dottle Derringer were acquitted to-day of the charge of having instigated or being accomplices cf Dollle Belknap in the poisoning of Fleming Sarver .and wife. All the evidence introduced was favorable to the girls. It was shown that the girls were of good parents and their characters above reproach. They were watched c!osely and put to a severe test and proved themselves innocent of the charges preferred against them by the yound murderess. Dollle Belknap now stands alone by her own confession as having administered the poison. The confession in which she accused Hays Robins and the Derringer girls with being implicated in the murder recalls the confession made by Stone, the murderer of the Wratten family near Washington, Ind. After being arrested he a'so made a confession and accused some of the leading farmers of his county as having assisted him in committing the desd. On trial the men proved themselves Innocent and he alone paid the penalty for the crime. There are a great many people who still believe that some person of maturer years put the girl up to committing the crime. The next grand Jury will Investigate the matter thoroughly. Coroner Henry Scott swore out a warrant at Brownstown for the rearrest of the Derringer girls, owing to an Irregularity in the court proceedings. It Is now claimed that their trial was held across the lino in Jennings county, when it should have been held In this county. The rearrest of the girls will be made tonight. A DIFFIDENT EX-COXYICT.

Bullard s crime was an attempted murder of his rival for the hand of a young lady of this county. He had met a few times a Miss Robertson. who did not know that he was Infatuated with her, and who paid but little attention to him, but married a young and then pros perous farmer named Rothrock. On the night of July 3, 1S31. Dullard went to the home of young Rothrock, and fired on the couple while they were in bed.

Madison County Farm a Are Overrun with Wild Lettuce. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD, Ind., July lS.-The farmers In this vicinity are considering ways to combat a new pest in tne shape of wild lettuce, which is rapidly overrunning fields and farm lands, and Is spreading at an astonishing rate. In many places It threatens to crowd out growing crops in a year or two, and is far worse than the famous Canada thistle. It is hard to kill, as cutting It off does not destroy it. It then sends out several sprouts from the roots and Is worse than ever. It reaches maturity soon ana its seeu ripens raniJly and - the stock will cure them up even if It is cut green. They are so llzht and airy that the wind -easily scatters them over large areas ani but little progress is made In killing It off.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind.. July 18. To-day was the last day on which the bituminous miners of thi State wero to continue at work pending a final settlement of the wage question, and as the men have rejected the agreement entered Into here last week It Is expected that thcra will be a

generel suspension of mining to-night, although In some localities the men may continue at work at 51. cents, especially as the officials of the United Mine Workers to-day sent out a request for another vote by the local lodges on the agreement. The request is accompanied by a statement Intended to remove a doubt In the mlnda of the men as to the duration of the El-cent scale, many of them having voted to reject the agreement under the belief that they would be bound to work for 51 cents until May. The officials say they know that the number voting does not represent the majority of the miners. A letter from President Talley is quoted, in which he says his understanding is that the contract applies only until conditions shall warrant the committee of operators and miners In advancing the price, and does not bind the miners to work for 51 cents till May, IJTO. unless present prices continue until that time in competitive fields, and Is intended to give the miners of Indiana the full benefit of whatever advance takes place In these fields.

XO POLITICS IX IT. Old Order to Pans Itnllwnr Brotherhood Men Over the Ynndalla. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind.. July 18. The story that Tresldcnt McKeen, of the' Vandalia, had issued an order to pass railway brotherhood men over the lines of the system as a means of enlisting the good will of the la bor organizations in his behalf as a candi date for United' States Senator Is wholly untrue. The fact is, the order referred to was Issued in 1801 by the then general su perintendent. Colonel Hill, with the approval of General Manager Williams. It was a bulletin order, and. having become obscured by aee. it was reissued the other day, which fact gave rise to the sensational reports as to its political bearing. The truth Is that Mr. McKeen did not know of its reissuance until he raw the newspaper stories. The same report found a mare's nest in the alleged hostility of the Pennsylvania Company to labor organizations in connection with what Mr. McKeen - had done. The order, as will be noticed, was Issued before the Pennsylvania secured con trol or the vandalia. but. as a matter of fact, the Pennsylvania people do not seek to introduce any of their ideas into the operation of the Vandalia. On the con trary, the Pennsylvania officials simply ask that the Vandalia be operated as an independent property, and as it was before the ownership changed. SPIRITUALISTS. IX SESSIOX.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., July 18.-The mystery as to the identity of the burglar killed at Poland ten dajs ago deepens as the In vestigation proceeds. The Terre Haute detectives had been confident that the dead man was Charles Shaw, a crook, who served time in the South Dakota prison for robbing his cousin, Mrs. Chaska, the school teacher who married the Indian of that name, but now it seems to be well established that the dead man was really T.

Sayles and himself that he would, under no circumstances, be a candidate for the presidency again: 'The report is made absolutely out of whole cloth. Mr. Harrison never spoke or even hinted at such a matter. The truth is that he did not speak on the matter, directly or Indirectly.

Attempt to Interview Harrison. SYRACUSE. X. Y.t July 15.-A special to the Syracuse Post from Old Forge, N., Y., says: "That General Harrison made the statement attributed to him In the dispatches of yesterday cannot be denied truthfully by the parties to the conversation.

In his denial Major Poole says he did not tell any one that General Harrison had said that he would not be a candidate for the presidency. As a matter of fact. Major Foole. after he and hi friends had boarded the steamer Zip, on their way to the Forge House, from Dodds's Camp, called them around him and confided to them the result of the interview with General Harrison. He told them not to state the conversation to any newspaper men. He laid particular stress upon this.

"I have nothing to say about the story," answered the General, pleasantly, but firm"Will you not deny or affirm the truth of the Poole Interview?" "I will not." General Harrison . said that all efforts to have him talk through a newspaper on anything of a political nature would prove in vain. "I must be left alone so far as that subject Is concerned while I am here," he sail.

H. H. HOLMES'S STORY HE SAYS THE PIETZEL CHILDREN WERE SENT TO LONDON, Bnt the Police of that City Cannot Find Minnie Williams, Who Had Charge of Them An Alibi. PHILADELPHIA, July 18.-District Attorney Graham has issued an official statement of the steps taken by the local authorities In their endeavor to locate the Pletzel children. The district attorney says that after Holmes's conviction he questioned him closely about the children, and that Holmes told him the following story: The boy, Howard, was taken to Detroit and turned over to Minnie Williams, the woman Holmes met in Chicago. Holmes then took the two girls, who were afterward murdered In Toronto, where he sewed 1100 in the clothing of Alice. Then he joined Minnie Williams at Niagara Falls, where he gave the girls Into her keeping, and the woman and children went first to New York and ultimately to London, where the woman established a massage resort at No. SO Veder or Water street. Holmes says the Is known in London as Minnie Williams, Geraldlne Walda and Adele Coveli. Th$ statement of the district attorney concludes as follows: "In view of the discovery of these facts, the reasonableness of the theory that Holmes killed Pletzel at No. 1216 Callowhill street, this city, becomes apparent, and whether the prisoner, who is securely held in our county prison, shall be tried here for the murder- of Pletzel In this jurisdiction or be taken to Toronto to be tried for the murder of the two little girls, depends on circumstances, but the public may rest assured that no effort will be spared to bring this criminal to justice, where he 6hall be made to suffer the penalty of his misdoings. It is my desire to have Holmes tried for murder, and If it shall appear that his conviction can be reedily secured at Toronto I will arrange for his being sent there. Otherwise I wJl see what can be done with him on the charge of murdering Pletzel. If he Is acquitted in Toronto 1 will endeavor to have him returned here to serve his sentence for conspiracy, and very likely to answer the charge of murder in relation to Pletzel." A French Canadian, stockily built, and with short black whisker, called to-day at the office of W. A. Shoemaker, Holmes's counsel. After a conference with the lawyer, who positively refused to give the name of this mysterious visitor, it was stated that the stranger had arrived today from Toronto. He said that he had been with Holmes in nearly all the latter's business ventures in the South and West and had known him for years. He stated that he would swear that Holmes, when he went to Toronto, gave the Pletzel children to a man named Hatch, and this was the last either he or Holmes has seen of them. He says a complete alibi can be proven for Holmes, when the proper time comes, and he will go on the stand in the, defense of the notorious criminal. Attorney Barlow and detective Crawford mysteriously disappeared from the city today. It is thought they have gone to Toronto. Crawford, it is thought, will work with Geyer in ferreting out the mystery surrounding thedlsuppearance of the missing children. Holmes Did Not Tell the Truth. LONDON, July 18. Inquiries made In this city regarding the statement of Herman Mudgetts, alias Holmes, alias H. H. Howard, suspected of having murdered the two Pletzel girls at Toronto, and who is now in custody at Philadelphia, Indicate that he did not tell the truth when he Informed District Attorney Graham, of Philadelphia, that the children were taken to England by the Williams woman. According to the dispatches received here. Holmes Is said to have given the girls into th3 keeping of Minnie Williams, who came to this city from New York and established a massage resort at No. 8 Veder street. He also said that she was known here as Minnie Williams, Geraldlne Walda or Adele Covell. But the inquiries made show that there is no Veder or Vedar street In London, and when Vigo and Vere streets, the nearest names to those mentioned by Holmes, were searched no trace was found of a woman or of an establishment answering the description of those referred to by the prisoner. Why He Killed the Children. Philadelphia Inquirer. The o.uestions that were on almost every lip yesterday were "Why did Holmes murder the two children? What object could he have In making away with Innocent little ones?" The answer is easy:. The children were in Holmes's way. Alice had been here to identify the body. She knew pretty much the whole story. The other ones knew parts of it. While they were alive they were a care and a burden. It took money to keep them. They might let slip something sometime. They would certainly raise a howl when they found that their father wts dead. Murder was the easiest solution of the difficulties. From facts also in the hands of the authorities, it is believed It was Holmes's intention to get rid of Mrs. Pletzel and the other two little ones. The hot trail of the detectives prevented the fulfillment of the plan. The Indianapolis story that the boy was probably killed in that city is doubted by the authorities here in tto points that show the boy to have disappeared there. Howard Pletzel was last seen in Detroit, and there, it is believed, he met death. Detective Geyer's reports and the reports of the Insurance people bear this out. HOT SHOT FROM HORR. (Concluded from First Pane.) because I say to you, in all candor, the members of Congress are fully up in honesty and decency to the average of the American people. I know it because I have been one myself, you know. (Laughter.) But what has all that to do with whether this bill was properly presented and discussed? I am familiar with what Mr. Kelley said afterwards, but I now read to you what he said when this bill was up in the Houso on the report of Mr. Hooper, and it Is not a speech that was printed "by leave." This took place right on the floor of the House: "It is impogEible to retain the double standard. The value of gold and silver continually fluctuates; you cannot determine this year what will be the relative value of gold and silver next year. They were 15 to 1 a short time ago; they are 15 to 1 now. Hence, all experience has shown that you must have one standard coin which shall be a legal tender for all others." Mr. Horr then took up the history cf the demonetization act and proceeded to show the stage through which It had passed, and that its final enactment was not until after it had been before Congress for nearly three years. Mr. Harvey then returned to the attack on the honesty of legislators throughout the country, including Congress and th Illinois and Colorado legislatures. This venality was sapping the foundations of the government as f. had sapped the foundations and destroyed every republic of the past. Mr. Horr then returned to the defense of the honesty of the American people. He said Mr. Harvey merely picked out a few corrupt men and drew from them the proposition that tne people of the Nation were all corrupt. "Why." he said. "If Mr. Harvey had lived In Job's time he would have looked over that unfortunate man's sores and would have gone out and published throughout the world that all chalsea was one immense carbuncle." Mr. Horr then, amid laughter, said he would return to the question under discussion, rnd proceeded with the history of the demonetization of silver, pointing out how the bill had been read" In full several times and printed separately eleven times and twice in the reports of th Controller of the Currency. The debates In the Senate on it occupied 6lxty-six columns In the Congressional Record. J- tha report of the committee It was stated that it hftd been examined Une by line and word by word, and was finally passed. He would show ihat In. so doing the Senate knew what It was about. A MATTER OF RECORD. Mr. Harvey, in reply, said that Mr. Hcrr would have to retreat from hlst position when the proper time came. In point of

fact tho bill about which he had been talking was not the bill finally nasjed. Judgt Kelley. ia presenting the bill in the House, saia mat it was merely a calincatlcn cr the mint laws. In response to a question Judge Kelley replied that the . bill made ry change in the value of the coins of the Nation. In 1S72. when tho till came up again, it was poken of as a bill on a dry subject and members lost interest, it waa a: that time, as appears from the reeortts. that the nrst disclosure of the intention, to change the standard to gold was made in a speech by Mr. Hooper. There wa reason to believe that the epceca was not actually delivered, but was printed by leave, or that it was -read from manuscript and those words omltie. but no reference was made to the ocmon'.tuation of silver. On the enrollment of th6 bill a clause was omitted which had the effect of limiting the coinage of t?tlver, ; Mr. Hcrr, replying, charged .Mr. narvey with quoting a single sentence and leaving out a modifying context. The record showed that this statement was made Irj. the morning debate ana was not unaer leave to print. In the very speech referred, to by Mr. Harvey the breaker said thla bill rrovided for a standard v"in a fingja metal" Instead of as before. In two meta6 and that all coins, except subsidiary coins. should be of goll. Mr. Horr then spoke on, the demonetization of sliver in ISIS, as h. result of experience In the use of th double standard. 1: W Grrrr.any aborted the gold standard ana threw on tne mil Kt-t uu,C'.M.tAo in tuver. ii was tnis that set the world to considering the silver Suestion not any 'gold bug' conspiracy. The nnnclal policy of no jrreat nation was ever dominated by a conspiracy. This closed the debate for the day. ex cept the answering of questions by the disputants by members of the audience. The most Interesting colloquy, perhaps, was at the very end of the day's proceedings. Thi fnntmdrum was nut to Mr. Harvey by Mr. L. G. Powers, of Michigan: "You said yesterday my answer is, nrsi. inai i uiu not say that l naa lorqea mom to cnanpu it or to correct any mistake In Coln'a Financial School ud to date, rage Z2. VOU say 'Coin here explains how an error had crept Into the official report of the treas urer. That he naa since xorceu tne .treasury Department to correct that error. Please explain the manifest discrepancy. Mr. Harvey The answer is: coin, a nxtle bov in knee rants, represents the causo of bimetallism; he does not represent me. (Applause and groans on eacn siae or tno knma rrrtivlv-i I would not have tho egotism to claim that I represent Coin In, the many arguments and sentiments ar.d kind things said about the little boy by the author and when Coin's influence is exercised at Washington or at San Fran cisco, or Memphis, it means tne mnuence of bimetallism and humanity. On the request of Mr. Horr the further hearing of the debate was adjourned to I p. m. Saturday. A BRIDE IN SORROW. Drowning of Drngslit Warner Said to Live Here. A telegram from Kansas City, Mo., received at an early hour this morning, saya that William Wagner, of the firm of Wagner & Wagner, druggists, of Indianapolis was drowned near Ft. Scott. Kan., yester day, while fishing. The telegram adds that Mr. uagner was married but a montn ago, and that he was In Kansas on his wedding trip. The city directory contains no sucn firm name as Wagner & Wagner, and th name of William Waptier does not appeal as a druggist or drug clerk. Severe Storms. PEORIA, III..

The roof was blown off the postcfllce block and the mails soaked. At Tivoll. J. Comper was struct by lightning and killed. To-nlcht. at 8:S0. a deluge passed over Peoria, flooding every thing.
