The selection of the place of meeting of. the next conference has been referred to the eight State officers, who compose the State cabinet. The following resolutions .relative to an all-important topic of discussion were adopted: "Resolved, That we deprecate the spirit of lawlessness prevalent in our State and pledge our vigorous resistance to all parties and all men who will not decare uncompromising fidelity to the enforcement of laws, especially those relating to the wile of Intoxicating liquors and the obeervance of the Sabbath. We commend what Is known as the good citizens' movement, organized for the purpose of purifying politics and public morals. Resolved. That we indorse the Nicholson Law and insist on Its enforcement to the letter, while we labor with untiring diligence for the total suppression of the nefarious rum traffic." There was a very lively debate regarding the debt of TO) which Mr. Van Doren a former secretary, contracted by the publication of, the Epworthlan. When Mr. Watson stated that he was security for the debt, some of .the numbers seemed inclined to come to his assistance, but the Rev. Mr. Halstead called attention to a resolution passed at the Peru conference. declining to take any financial risk in the publication. A resolution was finally passed tendering' the sympathy of the conference to the gentlemen who has assumed this burden, but deeming it unwise to compel the local chapters of the loague to assist in paying the debt.

Cpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. EL WOOD, Ind., Oct. 12. In a conversation with a leading member of the Foresters' Lodge in this city relative to the proposed $100,000 damage suit of Dr. Thomas A. Cox against the Supreme Lodge of that crder, at Toronto, Canada, he imparted the information that the Foresters were fully rre-ared for any move Dr. Cox might . and asserted that they would make 11 t.ar-1 for him if he started the ball roll-It-.j br bringing suit. He further asserted t it the Foresters were in josess.on of i..3iccf.!n in which Dr. Cox alleges he -ri: J Thomas Myers, anl that they also -v3 the "weight" which was nailed in the t to counterfeit a corpse's weig-ht to :l tie discovery cf the -fake."

coffin and weight Is belns cared, for by the Foresters at Clifford. Ind.. and they are being preserved to offer in evidence at the proper time. Dr. Cox 13 still here, but is keeping rather quiet.

LOGAN.SPORT, Ind., Oct. 12. About seven years ago William Tamm, of Monticello, went to Dr. William Spencer, then the leading physician of that place, and had a broken arm set. Recently Tamm entered suit in the Circuit Court; charging Dr. Spencer -with malpractice, and the case was brought to this county on 'a change of venue. Yesterday a compromise was affected by which Dr. Spencer is to pay Tamm J1.000 and the suit wasVdis-. missed. The large amount for which the suit was compromised has caused much speculation as to the .nature of the evidence which the plaintiff would have produced. The friends of Dr. Spencer assert that the case was compromised because the Doctor did not care to enter into a fight in the courts. He is an old man now and practicing very little.

The statement contained in a telegram from Madison in your Saturday morning's issue to the effect that, in my opinion, the death of A. C. Lanier resulted from the shock of an operation for cataract performed at St. Vincent's Hospital, is entirely incorrect. The operation performed by Dr. Thompson was perfectly successful, sight having been completely restored, and had no conenction with the illness which caused Mr. Lanier's death. Death resulted from an attack of and continued malarial fever. I wish to write a line to the effect that your correspondent acted. in good faith, having been misinformed by a mesenger from me. DR. DAVIDSON. Madison, Ind., Oct. 12. Very Tired of the Mcholion Law. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL LOGAXSPORT. Ind., Oct. 12. The saloon men of this city are preparing a petition which will be presented to the City Council on Wednesday, asking that they be allowed to conduct their business without regard to the Nicholson law, pending decisions on the validity of the law by the Supreme Court.

MME. ALBONI'S WILL

HOW TIID FAMOUS SINGCIt DISPOSED OF "WHAT Iimi VOICC EARNED. Many Unique and Charitable Bequests The Prince of Wales Unfortunate In Ills hncing Ventures. (Copyright, 1S9-", by the Associated Preps.) LONDON, Oct. 12. The will of Mme, Albonl (Maria Marsia Albonl Sieger), who died near Villa d'Avray, in June, of last year, has just been proved, and its contents have attracted much attention In and out of the world of amusement. It Is quite a remarkable document. After leaving her jewelry, and snug sums of money to her sisters, brother and brother-in-law, nephews and nieces (the latter receiving 80.000 francs each), and remembering her butlers, cook, linen women and chambermaid, the will continues, 'saying; "I desire a funeral of the second clas9 and to be accompanied to my last-resting place by fifty male orphans and fifty female .orphans, to each. of whom twenty " francs, by vay of gratuity, shall be given. The orphans 'shall be selected by the manager of the charity department and the Bureau De Blentalsance of the Eighth district, acting in concert. I desire no publicity of any kind! with reference to my death. Letters announcing the fact only are to be sent a few days after. I bequeath to the town of Lugo, Italy, the portraits in oils of Rossini, in order to carry out a wish expressed in past times by the great master. I established myself in France, Paris, in 1817, and in all circumstances, I have found in that adorable country the most sympathetic reception and the most perfect courtesy. -In one word, as a woman and as an artist, the French have always treated me with the greatest consideration. I wish, therefore, to show my gratitude for the same. For this purpose I bequeath to the city of Paris 10,000 francs of 3 per cent, rentes in thoi French state, which will go to form saving bank books of 30 francs. These books-shall be inscribed and distributed annually by way of encouragement to work to the pupils of both sexes having -attained the age of thirteen years (without distinction of nationality or religion), who attend the classes of the public and gratuitous schools maintained by the city of Paris, at the rate of two books for each district, one for the boys and one for the girls. I desire that encouragement for work shall always be given In my name. I bequeath to the communes of Ville d'Avray and Marnes la Coquette a yearly sum of 200 francs to form four' savings bank books of fifty francs each. I bequeath to the charity department of the city of Paris the sum of 100,000 francs, in order to found, maintain in perpetuity, in my name, Albonl, in one of the hospitals of the city of Paris, two beds (or more if the sum should permit), which shall be set apart exclusively for persons of Italian nationality, without distinction of occupation or religion. I bequeath, after the death of my husband, my portrait in oil, by Perignon, to the Carnavalet Museum. I bequeath to the city of Paris 26.009 francs, of which my husband, Charles Denis Sieger, shall have the usufruct." Mme. Albonl appointed her husband, Charles Denis Sieger, universal legatee, subject to the disposition, and added: "It is by singing and by following that supreme, and, above all others, consoling art. that I have acquired all the fortune which I possess, and I shall iuit this life with the sweet thought of. having disposed of the same in such a manner as to encourage and console." . The attention of the world of politics has been almost turned towards Constantinople dnring the past week, while the interest of the world of fashion and sport has centered at Newmarket, especially on Wednesday, when Mr. V. J. Blair's filly Rockdove won the Czarewltch stakes, and yesterday, when Mr. Leopold De Rothchild's colt St. Frusquin captured the Middle Park plate, the greatest event for two-year-olds, owing to the fact that so many Derby candidates were entered for it. '. The gathering at Newmarket was large and decidedly aristocratic, in rpite of the fact that the weather was cold and Stormy. There was a strong muster of royalty and nobility, and the latest fashIons in ladies' light furs were agreeably displayed. The Duke of Cam bridge had his usual shooting parties on the six-mile bottom. The much favored guests have been out shooting during the mornings, and have afterwards spent the afternoons at the races. Report has it that they have secured enormous "bags" of pheasants. The Prince of Wales Is understood to be much disappointed at the performance of Florizel II on Wednesday last, when the royal entry finished fourth in the race lor the Czarewltch stakes, and he Is paid to be epually put out at the fact his colt Persimmon could do no better than to come third in the struggle for the Middle Park plate yesterday. Th Prince, it Is claimed, had been very confident of capturing the Czarewltch, and his eldest son, tho Duke of York, was also present at the Newmarket, mainly in the hope of seeing his father land the prire with Florizel II But both the Prince and the Dufife , were doomed to disappointment. The former, however, apparently resolved to console himself as much as possible, for after the races yesterday he started for Warwick Castle on a visit to the Earl and Countess of "Warwick. The latter, first as Lady Brooke and later . as Countess Warwick has had the Prince at the head of her lifrt of admirers for many years past, avl is still one of the great beauties cf England, although she has a son thirteen years old. The Prince .will remain th guest of the Earl and Countess of Warwick until Monday next. The list of guests invited to meet the Duke of York at Dunrobin last week Included the Karl and Countess of Warw ck. The weather in Scotland recently has been very cold, for this time of year, especially, but it is understood that Queen Victoria has been driving about Balmoral and ltsfieighborhood at late hours In the afternoon in an open victoria, to the dismay of those who are continually dwelling upon the acelng and apparently daily Increasing he'nlessness and feebleness of her Majesty. Londoners, it fs said, are expected to flock to a new attraction a floating chamber of horrors which promises to rival the chamber of horrors at Madame Tussaud's famous wax works exhibition. This floating exhibition of terrible happenings of the past is an old convict hulk, the Success,' which recently arrived here from Australia! after a voyage of five months duration' and which is moored at Blackwall while being prepared to receive the public The Success has been used for exhibit'orl purposes In Australian waters for years past but Just as she was on the point cf being demolished, she was purchased from the government by speculators and brought to this country. The hulk is over a hundred years old and is the only . one remaining of the terrible floating prisons established by the government of the colony of Victoria from 1850 to 1S53, as a result of the discovery of the gold fields of Bendleo and Ballarat, and the rush to the colony of, among others, many thousands of desperate, lawless men. of nearly all nationalities. Every side of convict life in the old days on board the hulk will be depicted on the Success, especially the different modes of punishment, and the speculators who have purchased her expect to reap a small fortune as the result of their stroke of enterprise. Following upon the purchase, for use as a museum, of the house formerly occupied by ' the late Thomas CarhMe, at Chelsea, and the successful accomplishment of that undertaking, it has been proposed to purchase the house formerly occupied by Turner, the great English painter, which Is also located at Chelsea. The first idea was to convert the Turner house into a museum, but that proposition, well under way, was suddenly killed by the fact that some person wrote to the Times throwinr doubt on the statement that the house was really occupied by Turner, and hinting that if he did stay there for a. time, It was for purposes other than those of art. The price asked for the property was $7,500. and a lady has alsj guaranteed to pay this sum for the property in order that it might be converted Into a Turner museum; but the intimation conveyed in the communication to the Times was more than the lady referred to could be expected to bear up under and she promptly withdrew her offer to supply the funds for the purchase of the house. Since then, however, it has been definTtely established that the house at Chelsea was really Turner's residence aadrteps arr again being taken to purchets the bouM and convrt tt. with othtr3 fcdjci-ln.

Into refuges ,or homes for. unfortunate landscape painters. There Feem3 to be a prospect that the latter plan may be adopted. ,.' Strange to recori, the English newspapers are greatly Interested In New York elections. The Dally Chronicle, for example, said yesterday: . "It will be of supreme Interest to the whole world if the bad government of most of the American cities has been set back for the Democracy everywhere. If Sew York can. Teverse her failure In .this respect she will strengthen the Democrat fc Institutions of the world." - The London newspapers comment with surprise on the so-called "Golf craze" of America. They say that so far as club houses are concerned, the Americans are alreadv far ahead of England, and relate It .almost in sorrowing tones how Willie Dunn has started for Chicago to lay-out a course at Dobbs Ferry which will probably be the richest golf club in the world. - The church congress which has been sitting at Norwich this week devoted yesterday to discussing Sunday observance. The Bishop of Norwich, who presided, says that the upper classes were the greatest sinners In the matter of secularization of of the Sabbath, as among them was tha growing habit of spending it in games, amusements and novel reading. One paper read bofore the congress advocated playing golf, tennis and cricket on Sundays, under judicious restrictions, but, it was added that It ought to be, in the case of golf, on the condition that no Vaddie" should be employed, that no refrerhments should be furnished and that the golfers should not play during the hour? of di vine services. Another paper read sall that it was useless for the church to lead a cru sade against t?unday papers, which, it was added, had come to stay, end it should be the mission of churchmen to- win over tho editors to reduce the Sunday labor of those employed in their production and distribution to the minimum. In the discussion which- followed. the fashionable i$unday wits strongly condemned. Most oi the speeches disapprove! or opening museums on Sundays. Harry Woods, ji -agent of California, sails for home to-day from Southampton. He says that while the season has not been profitable, it has served to secure a market for fruit from the Pacific coast and has created a permanent demand for such products from America. The California growers, it is understood, intend to ship larger quantities of fruit to England in beginning In the month of June. Mr. Woods, during his stay here, has learned much about the condition in which fruit should be sent and has inside pointers as to Just what fruit fs wanted. He is confident the shipments of ISM will be profitable. It is learned from other sources that great dissatisfaction prevails in regard to the manner in which California fruit is handled here, and it is probable that next year's consignments will be different, with results which will benefit the growers. The recent remarkable Influx of gold and silver into the Bank of England is severely taxing the capacity of the "strong rooms" of that great financial Institution, and workmen are busily at work building extra steel-cased chambers for the storage of bullion. Incidentally it is said that the influx of valuable metals indicat.es a substantial' revival of trade. It is reported hero, via Paris, that the Count of Turin, nephew of the -King 'of Italy, is soon coining to England, and he will marry one of the daughters of the Prince of Wales. The Prince was born In isto. . . For some time past the rumor has been current in theatrical circles, that Haddon Chambers, the dramatist,-would, in connection with Mr. Henry Barnato, the South African millionaire, known as the, "Kinp of the -Kafflrs." .write a play that will be founded on the-experience of the latter, who has had a most eventful career. It is now stated that Mr. Chambers recently accompanied Mr. Barnato to Paris, where the-, plot .and scenery was decided upon. 'When questioned about the matter, Mr. Chambers said that he was not yet in a position to either affirm or deny the report. It is stated that Mlss Eastlake, who will be remembered'as playing the leading parts in the company which toured in the United States with Mr. Wilson Barrett on his first visit there, will, after a long retirement, again appear on the London stage. Miss -Eastlake, who "has appeared in a!, most every line of character, from broad comedy to ''Ophelia," will, upon her return, be seen in a drama of the romantic school. The ninetieth birthday of Mrsi Keeley, the veteran actress, will be celebrated in becoming style on the date of, its occurrence. Nov. 22. ' On that day a matinee performance will be given at the Lyceum Theater and Mrs. - Keeley will recite an address which -will-be-wrltten for the occasion by Mr. Ashly Starry. The proceeds of the matinee, in which all the leading actors in London will take part, will be distributed among seven deserving theatrical charities.

nt o A FALSE AFFIDAVIT JUROR SLRBER, IS IIIXSHAW CASE, DISPOSES OF CrtABB'S STORY. Motion. for a tt Trial and Alleged Xeir Evidence Which the Defense Claims to Have Found. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DANVILLE, Ind., Oct. 12. The motion for a new trial of Rev. William E. Hinshaw was filed before Judge Hadley this morning by the attorneys for the defense. They present a bill of exceptions, in which they state forty-eight reasons why a new trial should be granted. The first reason assigned Is that Alexander A. Surber, one of the jurors In the case, was an unfair man for the place and an Incompetent Juror. An affidavit, signed by William N. Crabb. claims that some time in last May Crabb had a conversation regarding the Hinshaw case, and that during the talk Surber said:' "This preacher ought to be taken out and hung." "Alex., you ought not to talk that way,", answered Crabb, to which Surber replied: "I never was in favor of mob' law, but I would help mob that fellow." "He is no more guilty than I am," responded Crabb. "You cculd not bring evidence enough to make me believe but what he was guilty," replied Surber. Mr. Surber, when shown the above, was greatly surprised, and denied the whole thing from beginning to end. Said he: "There is not a word of truth In the statement. I never had any conversation with Mr. Crabb regarding the affair, though at one time I was in the bank, and Joseph Ferrce spoke of it, but I let him .do all the talking. This is a great surprise to me, as It Is all a falsehood. 1 feel positive that when the thing is sifted to the bottom and I intend it shall be sifted that I shall prove 1 did not make any such statements as are here charged." Forty-three exceptions to the rulings of the court are named, in which it is claimed the court erred either In allowing witnesses to testify to certain facts after the attorneys for the defense, had offered objections, or that efforts of the defense to introduce evidence were- denied by the court after having been objected to by the attorneys for the State. As to newly-di?oovered evidence the motion reads as follows: "That tho testimony of the witness Louise Rushton as to, her having seen the defendant In September, 1894. at the houpe of Sylvia Bayllss, in the city of Indianapolis, sitting oa a sofa with Allie Frree. with his arm on the bacfc of the sofa, was false and given upon the suggestion of other?, as appears from the atfidavits of Jennie Baron, Luclnda Garrett and Rachel Busby herewith filed In support of this motion- . . , , iL "That Eva Worrell, on the night of the shooting of Thurza Hinshaw, and within a few minutes after .eaid shooting, saw Thurza Hinshaw fall at the back door, where she wa9 afterwards found. "That . the . testimony of --Eva orrell on the trial . of this fame :I;at when she looked out ' fcrnurh the door at Elisha Markcri house and immediately after the hearing or the shot fired she saw no one and beard no one but the defendant, was false, for that she saw Thurza Hinshaw fall at the back door of the defendant's house, where she was afterward found, and also that she heard other persona in the street, as though some one was fighting, as is fully shown by the affidavit of Caroline Irons and Ella Irons, herewith filed in support Of this motion. "That the verdict of the Jury is contrary to the law and the evidence." Mr. Spaan announced to the court and attorneys for the defense this morning: "A new trial will be a big expense to the county and a burden on the people, and w Intend to fight it to a finish, but want it done fairly and have it so presented to this court that he will not err Sn any particular, so if it is carried to the Supreme Court his decisions will not be reversed, and for this reason we shall insist on each witness who has made an affidavit being brought into court and give his testimony. An affidavit is only a one-sided affair, and we shall insist on having both sides presented. ' . , A , Judge Hadlev has held court over until next Wednesday evening to allow the State to procure such evidence as is necessary to offset what is presented by the defense in favor of a new trial. The State does not believe a new trial will -be granted, and that If it should be carried to the higher court the verdic: as rendered will be sustained. . . The witnesses are being summoned to appear before the court Thursday, so that all evidence may then be submitted, and on Friday Judge Hadley will hear the argument. It is generally believed a new trial will be refused. 1 ANGRY FRENCH CANUCKS. Joneplt Mercer Sayu lie Will Spit In Premier Ta!lIon Face. MONTREAL, Quebec, Oct. 12.
