FRIENDS' iNEWCHUBCH

llCt. Jilt. TRl'DLOOD, OP IIOSTOX, riuucin: at Tin: dhiiicatiox. Church I Entirely Out of Debt Throngch Contributions Ilnlicil Yesterday Some $ntltliN. Tlje new church, erected by the Society of Friend, which Plan-Is al the corner of Alabama street and Heme avenue, was dedicated yesterday. The joy of being In it was not unmixed with sorrow. The congregation has worshiped thirty-nine years this month In the meeting house at -tho corner of Delaware and St. Clair street, and there was sadness in leaving the old place, and again there was sadnesa in the deatli of Wiliiam It. Evans, which occurred Saturday. Mr.-Kvan? was chairman of the buildins committee and passed away Just as the labors were completed. The picturesque Quaker, with quaint garb and plain speech, is passing away and with him the name of the gathering place has gone. The name meeting house has been changed to church. The new buIMlng is a large, Fquare room, and many modern idea have been followed out in its construction. The floor Is slanting, tho pulpit Is in one corner. The seats are placed in semi-circular rows. The room la divided about In two, with folding doors somewhat after the style of the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church. The walls are handsomely frescoed in tones of tan and brown and tho windows have cathedral glass of corresponding tints. Tho brusstls carpet is of small and neat design, also in browns. The seats are exceedingly comfortable and everything about the building, ' inside and out, denotes progress. For tho dedicatory, services the church was filled and extra chairs were placed in the aisles for the accommodation of the members and friends of the congregation. The opening exercises were condcuted by Thomas Rrown, pastor of the church. The choir, which sits in pews at the right of the pulpit, opened the services by singing the doxology in which the congregation Joined. Hymn No. 4 was then sung and the Scripture lesson was read by Calvin Prltchard. He read from I Kings vill, 31, and from John vl, 19. This was followed by a dedicatory prayer by Mr. Prltctiard, who also prayed for the iauiy vl ur. vans. xne choir sang an anthem. "Jesus, Lover of 3Iy Soul," w ithout accompaniment, as there is no organ or other musical instruments in the church. Tho announcements for t meetings were made: 3 n. m.. Junior Fnflirnr R-".i n xm m- ' W ------ - ww v a V WV fm Ait Senior Endeavor; 7:45, preachlrgr Wednesday, 10:30 a. m., devotions; Thursdaj', 7::, prayer meeting, followed by teachers meeting, i Tho sermon was delivered by Rev. RenJamin F. TTublood. LI D., of Boston, who took: his text from Matthew iv, 17. "The coming of the kingdom , of heaven." Jesus haa passed through childhood, boyhood and early manhood, lie had passed through-growth and development by trials and temptations; had been baptized at Jordan and it was the introduction to Ills work on earth. He had been in tho wilderness and tempted and had submitted to the pangs of hunger. Carlisle says that the trench revolution was only a great cry tor bread. Jesus had come to the full consciousness of His divine Eonship ani of strength In God. lie had jiower to meet and overcome temptations, with this rreiaratlon of human suffering. The Lord Jesus came to preach and say "repent," for the kingdom of heaven was then and there realized. Ho had conquered sin and was pure within and without. Tho kingdom of heaven was there realized. Hls word "repent" has a new meaning, it had not reference to sorrow for sdn, for men had llttla consciousness of sin. The word "repent" had a different meaning. Jesus cornea out of temptation and what doc. He say? Come unto me. He went about and did not deal with their nin. but turned their mind to the great remedv to come and find the true life. John could not bring balm and cure; he left man under his senso of depravity. Jesus dealt with men in a new way. "I am ready to forgive all sins." The great new life was' dawning. i "V1!; Shurch haa made a great mistake in dwelling on sin and not enough on the healing power of Jesus Christ," said the minister, "Jesus knocks on the door and asks to bo let in. Christ means the church should not siand over the sinner with a drawn sword, but should ask the sinner to come to Him. The church and Chrlstains make a mistake in believing heaven is far away and only to bo found after death. Jesus said, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand,' which meant that whatever relation it may have the work must begin on earth. The kingdom of heaven is to be enjoyed in alt its fullness here. Who ever saw Him saw the Father. When the human soul is born into the kingdom of God it is made over into a new creature. The kingdom of heaven is In it. The only difference is in the magnitude. This kingdom of heaven is set up in human souls, one by one, and Is developed and carried out bv human souls, who carry it to other men and women. To that extent we are perfected. A thought that we may lose in these republican and democratic times is that God's country Is a kingdom. He steps not down from His throne In four years. H i king by divine right. It will alwavs be a kingdom and never a republic. He is a king who rules in heaven and on earth. He has the right to all our lives and our service, the right to our bodies and souls forever. "The fact that God is king by divine right makes it impossible for any man to be divine king. The time Is coming when all men shall be free and equal, in all church and life. It must be so, and I am not .reaching politics to-day. Whatever happens Cuba shall be tree and Turkey shall be free. The hope of men is in the establishment of the kingdom of Ood, and that is the only way in which liberty can be gained. What are some of the characteristics of the kingdom of heaven? It is a kingdom of truth, and truth is the most fundamental of all. Jesus came to bear witness of the truth. Outside of the kingdom of God all Is false. "It is a kingdom of righteousness. Men should choose the truth and do the truth; that brings righteousness. Those who know w hat they should do and do It are risht men and right women. We need a revival of righteousness which shall touch the ex tremest circumference. The place to begin is in our own souls. It ! u kingdom of love. While not lirst. It Is most far-reaching In its results. The lirst kingdom was set up by love. The whole coming of Jesus was through the love of (lol. Jesus ki loved thft world that He came and died. The divine love houM enter the Unite human being, who must show love to Him and to each other. If all was love the whole world would lie at the feet of Jesus. "When the church was begun in 1017 th term was friend- of truth and friends of the righteous. Our profession should correspond with our practice. If Quakerism lias any glory It must do the truthmust ! friends of righteousness. It i.-? equally true our people -have loved men who were slaves and the outcast. We are getting flee from form and dress. The Quaker kingdom is a kingdom of truth, love and righteousness, wrought out by what God has done for us. We can never be true and gentle without the love of God. The worlt has not lost its Quaker, if it has lost th6 name. As a result, the kingdom of heaven is a kingdom of peace, and a soi as men come into this love they come into this peace. It Is part of their mission to make peace. Peace mean co-operation and help fulness, and all men are brothers and sifters in God and promote good In fellow-, men. This kingdom will ultimately become universal. It is no dream, but will be worked out by holding u; Jesus as Savior, not by theories and denominationalism, but as the way, the truth and the life. Thf dogmatical church has gone by. To hold up Him the church shall be promoted on this earth. It Is to this kingdom we dedicate this house; to Him who has made it possible and to His children, that evermore, according to our best ability. Kf shall love, serve and honor lllm and build up His kingdom on earth." Then followed a second dedicatory prayer. Mr. mown gave a few statistics which ho thoucht would be cf interest. The f!nt established meeting was orsanlzed in 1VI. The first official meeting was held in Pvi". At the latter the membership had grown to lf.t. Th o'd house was erected in 1, und was dedicated In December. The membership now is over eight hundred. There tame a necessity for a better place of worship.

George S. IJafsoom, a young Armenian who is an exile from tho home of his people. occupied the pulpit of the First baptist Church yesterday morning and that of the Second Presbyterian Church last evening. Interested audiences listened to him at loth places. Mr. Darsoom was compelled to llee from Turkey about two years ago, $e says, because he gained the enmity of the Turks by capturing a prize at Robert College. Recently he has received word that his brother, sister and two uncles were killed near Constantinople In a recent massacre of the Armenians. Mr. Barsoom is at present a student in a medical school at Chicago. He is deeply interested in the affairs of his persecuted people and consequently is doing all he can to enlighten the people of this country on the enormity of tho outrages and the causes leading to them. At the Second Presbyterian Church last evening, Mr. Rarsoom began his remarks by a reference to the history of the Armenian people. The Armenian is one of the oldest civilized peoples in the world. The Armenian Church is Episcopal in polity and closely resembles the Greek Church in outward forms. Tho Ulble was translated into the Armenian language in the fifth century. Tho Armenians belong to the Indo-Ger-manic family and In the early centuries were governed by Independent kings, but afterward they became tributary to the Assyrians and Medes and later to Turkey. The Armenians have been persecuted relentlessly for many years by Kurds and Turks. In ancient times the Armenians were numerous, but now they number but live million. Of this number fully a half are under tho Sultan of Turkey. Tho speaker referred to the persecutions, and stated that tho Saltan had done nothing to Improve the conditions in the last fifteen years. In the Berlin treaty the powers of Europe promised protection to all Christians in Turkey, but no protection has been granted them. The Turkish government and the Mussulman are working to destroj' the Christians. Mr. Barsoom said' the education of the Turks ha? been one to cause hatred of the Armenians, and a strong national feeling against the Christians has been created. To show how this has been done, Mr. Barsoom quoted from a sermon delivered by a priest. "To violate the wives and daughters of Christians is Just and righteous. To destroy and ruin their churches is aa acceptable service Unto God. To plunder and pillage their property Is the command of God." Such teachings have resulted in persecutions for years and years, the present. outrages being but fresh outbursts. Abdul Hamid, the Sultan, is a faithful disciple of Mohammed, says Mr. Barsoom. Abdul is simply carrrying out the teachings of the law as laid down by Mohammed In the Koran, where the instructions are given: "When ye encounter the unbelievers, strike off their heads until ye have made a great slaughter among them." Mr. Barsoom believes the blood of the slaughtered is on England, who promised protection to the Christians, and who could have put a stop to the persecution longago if she would. The powers are held back for commercial reasons and from jealousy of each other. section of the Berlin treaty promising protection to the Armenians is ignored. Were Turkey to fall In new hands England and Germany would lose their best customers, for a different people in Turkey would produce for the people of the country. Mr. Barsoom recalled the massacre of his people, a portion of h's description being from information which he has received. The pad story is Known to all readers. He slmpy made more emphatic, these tals and contlrmed them. The speaker said it was within the power of the Armenians to stop the outrages if they would rut discard their faith and become followers of Mohammed. He appealed to Americans for sympathy, and asked, that a sentiment be born here which would urge an end to the outrages. HILL WILL NOT COME TIIH SEX AT OR CANCELS HIS IXDIAVArOUS ENGAGEMENT. Ills Leeture Tour Abandoned, So Chilly NVns the Reception He Received Everywhere. A telegram was received last night from Senator David B. Hill's manager, who is with his attraction in St. Taul, stating that the Xew York Democrat would be unable to fill bis lecture engagement in this clfy on account of illness. Mr. Hill was to have lectured at Tomllnson Hall next Thursday, and it was proposed to have an inforraal conference of prominent State Democrats here at the time. Perhaps, it was suggested last night, the New York politician saw a copy of the Journal a few days ago, in which was outlined the plan of Governor Matthews's friends to swoop down on the Xew Yorker for his support in behalf of Mr. Matthews as a presidential candidate. Maybe the fear of this entanglement kept Hill away, the same man suggestfd. The Associated Press, however, carries a different story. A dispatch from Minneapolis says: "Senator David B. Hill's lecture tour in the Northwest has proved a failure, end came to an abrupt end to-day, when the Senator closed his business arrangements with hi manager, canceled all further arrancements and returned to New York with the reason assigned for this action that he contracted a severe cold while in Duluth. making him adverse to further public speaking at present. The fact is, however, that the audiences which gathered to listen to him at Milwaukee, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth were so meagre that the financial returns wero insufficient to pay expenses, and Senator Hill refused to talk for nothing. He lectured last night at Duluth, and came to Minneapolis this morning. He was booked for ten lectures altogether. The arrangements for the lecture tour were made by Minneapolis parties. Before leaving the city to-night Senator Hill declined to be Interviewed, and was evidently much disgusted with the reception he had met while on his tour." MORE LNF0R3IAT10X SUPPFESSED. Governor Matthew Granted n Fur loua-h to n Dynamiter. Thomas Donlan, a convict in tho Trison South, sentenced from Madison, Ind., for dynamiting the Ited Onion saloon at that place, returned to his home yesterday. He was furloughed by Governor Matthews, though the fact, as In the Reinhold case. was suppressed at the Governor's office. The Governor U quoted on the pardon question by a Chicago paper yesterday as follows: "I would never pardon a man who stole for himself, but when It can be shown that a man. through misfortune, is brought face to face with want and he steals in order that bis wife and children shall not go hungry, I will pardon him every time."

THE ELKS' MEMORIAL

ANNl'AL EILOC.Y DELIVERED II Y C. L. JEYVETT. OP NEW ALII ANY. He Explain tbe Irlucllrn ot the Order and Defends Tlirm The Other Ixerele. The beautiful lodge room of the Bcnev6lent and Protective Order of Elks, on North Meridian street.was well filled yesterday afternoon, the occasion being the annual memorial exercises in honor of the departed, brothers of the order. The lodge room ' was handsomely decorated with chrysanthemums and palms, and-there was a pleasing variety In the programme, the addresses and the ritualistic work being interspersed with special Instrumental music by the First Baptist Sunday school orchestra, and by vocal music by Miss Laura Darby and Mr. Hoenig. Since the Indianapolis lodge was Instituted there have been seventeen deaths among tho membership, and it was in memory of these that the ceremonies of yesterday were conducted. These seventeen members were. George C. Harding, Frank J. Kleider, John Fahrbaeh, John Edwards, A. S. Stewart, Edward F. Gall, George W. Hill James G. Fogarty, Richard E. Smith, ' H. H. Francis, Samuel Sllnkard, James R. McElwaine, Charles J. Parrnalee, John C. Belgler, Frank Train. James Goodlet and J. W. Curran. The last two have died since the last memorial exercises. In the introductory remarks of H. S. Beissenherz, chairman ot the. memorial committee, there were given some Interesting statistics showing the growth and strength ot tho order. There are now 383 Elks lodges, with a membership of 21,4C. The order has on hand 1168,000 in cash, and during the year it distributed In charities $32,000. Its property is estimated to be worth &S5.C00.' The principal address ot the occasion was delivered by Charles L. Jewett of New Albany, district deputy grand exalted ruler of Indiana. The purpose of the first part of Mr. Jewett's address was to rescue the order from a popular misapprehension that prevails as to its aini3 and purposes. On this subject he said: "We are honored to-day by the presence of many who aro not members of this order. This fact renders it proper, indeed almost imperative that my address be prefaced by some explanation of the principles and purposes of the Order of Elks, upon which it bases its claim to public tolerance and popular esteem. This is, indeed, the very age of secret orders. The list constantly lengthen?. Some arc hoary with age. strong in tradition and tenacious of lineage and history; others are painfully new in everything except in the high-sounding names they bear, the coinage of which has well nigh served to impoverish the vocabulary of antiquity. With none of these have we either controversy or rivalry. . To each of them we accord the respect it "deserves. "This organl2at'.on. which has grown great under the simple, though fantastic, namo of Elks, has for its prime object charity without Ostentation. Its revenues are, within qualification, subject to be thus appropriated with, no condition nor itstrict'.on except that the bestowal shall be known only to the orJer and its beneficiaries. It is one of those cheerful givers whom it Is sail the Lord loves. It docs not employ the mlcioscopc to discover faults and frailties In t those to whom its ungrudging charity --It g!ven. It realizes that all want and all suffering result from the wrong or rdn of somebody at some time, and therefoie. its mercies fall alike upon the unfortunate who havo been good and the unfortunate who have been bad. The meat It serves to the needy Is seasoned with the salt of hearty good will, not meanly garnished with the. bitter herbs of rebuke and reproach. Incidental to this great object our members extend to each other those gracious manifestations of courtesy, ' hopefulness and regard which naturally arise out of fraternal anJ confidential relations between gentlemen brought and bound together bj the obligations of the order, and the stimulus of a common and honorable purpose. We believe that we more surely accomplish the few things we attempt, because there are so many things we. leave severel' alone. Wc leave the matter of insurance and benefits to insurance and aecUent companies. We leave tho matter of religion and pious care for the soul to the holy church. We remit tho conduct of a man's private affairs and the question of his morals and his habits to himself, satisfied that these things must thus be conserved and cared for if at all. We require only an acknowledgement of the omnipotence and divinity of the Father, obellence to our laws, and substantial conformity to those regulations of society which are essential to the life and character of a gentleman. Upon this broad ami generous platform, where even many of those classified as men of the world may stand without hesitation or h'ypoerlav, we have gathered a spiendid membership of -gentlemen to which we point as conclusive proof that among secret orders we are the twentieth century order of the world." ' The remainder of the address of Mr. Jcwett was largely devoted to a plea for right living. "Tho obligation of right living," said he. "the aids toward it, tho environments that'surround and tho obstacles that hinder aro known and acknowledged by all. I am persuaded that ono great reason for failure, or, what is worse, lack of attemnt. is that we shut our eves to the means and the occasion ! for accomplishing the purpose. Wo fail in our ideals because we belittle the common things of life. We grieve over the opportunity that Is lost or wait in vain for the opportunity to come, but we refuse to see that the opportunity is ever at ha;td." Other short addresses were delivered by Exalted Ruler Frank R. Burke and by Thomas G. Harrison, and the ceremonies closed with the doxology and benediction. YOUNG FRUIT TREES. Methods by Which They May ne Protected from .Mice nnd Rabbit. James Troop, the horticulturist of Purdue Agricultural Experiment Station, has issued the appended bulletin: Young fruit trees aro apt to be Injured during the winter by mlco and rabbits gnawing the bark. This is especially true If the orchard has been neglected during the summer season. A heavy growth of grass or weeds about the tre s make excellent nests for mice during the winter, and where rubbish heaps have been allowed to accumulate In the orchard, especially if It !s near a forest, rabbits will almost invariably congregate. Under these conditions the young trees will almost certainly suffer from the ravages of one or both of these pests. It is important, .therefore, that this matter be attended to at once. There are various remedies recommenced for these evils: the first and most successful of which is clean cultivation. If this has not been followed then remove all loose mulch, dead grass and rubbish of various kinds from the immediate vicinity of the base of the trees. This will destroy tho nesting places of mice and will go far towards protecting the trees from injury. Then, in aJdition to the above, make a smooth, compact mouni of earth, a foot high, about the base of the trees. Just before the ground freezes. Thee two precautions will be all that Is necessary to insure protection against mice. Rabbits are not so liable to injure trees where there are other small plants, such as young grape vines or nursery stock in the immediate vicinity of the orchard, as they seem to delight in cutting off the young tender branches in preference to gnawing the bark of older trce3. It is always safe, however, to protect the trees, and a favorite method is to wrap the trunks with closely-woven wire screen, such as is use 1 for screen doors. Tills may be cut int strips eighteen inches to two feet in length and wlda enough to completely encase the body of the tree. These may bo tacked on or the edses woven together, and if they do not fit too closely, may be left on for several years. Instead of the wire screen, ordinary roofing ttn Is sometimes used. Sheathing paper is also used with good effect, placed on the tree in a similar manner. If one is located near a slaughter house, a verv convenient as well as effectual method Is to wash the trunks of the trees with blood or rancid grease. This, however. Is liable to be washed off by rains, and would need renewal several times during the winter. These and doubtless other remedies, will prove effectual If properly applied. By giving this matter Immediate attention, much damage to our young orchards may be prevented. The ClalrvoynntV Ordinance. Acting upon the suggestion of Superintendent Colbert the city attorney has drafted an ordinance regulating clairvoyants, which will be submitted to the Council this evening. It proviicH that a license fee of V'jO annually shall be paid bv all fortuno

tellers and clairvoyants. The ordinance forbids advertising of any sort in newspapers, and provides that fortune tellers and clairvoyants shall not post signs on their dwellings announcing their business, or issue circulars of any description calling attention to it. A fine is provided for violations of Its provisions, to which a Jail sentence may be a 1 Jed. Superintend nt Colbert said recently con-

; pie who had been victimized by charlatans oi ims cnaracter. ana ne tmnxs some suon ordinance as that proposed should be passed., WOULDN'T PAWN HIS EYEGLASSES. Arthur lloyd Wanted David S terra rt to liny More Uqnor. David Stewart lives -with Arthur Boyd and his sister Alice at 10 Corey street. Yesterday Stewart spent part of his w;eek's wages with Boyd and slater. Large quantities of beer were bought with the mone', and the trio became drunk. After Stewart had spent all his money, it Is claimed, Royd wanted him to pawn his eyeglasses for more drink, which Stewart refused to do. A quarrel followed his refusal to comply with this demand. Blows followed.-The two men were fighting desperately when the police arrived. It seems Boyd was. the aggressor, and threatened to kill Stewart. He was slated for assault and battery with intent to kill. Stewart was charged with assault and battery, while the woman was held for being drunk. CHANGE IN EMPLOYES SELECTIONS DECIDED ON BY REPrilLICAX COMMISSIONERS. t Appointments to Re 31ade To-Day A. R. Ilovey, County Attorney IVheatley nt Workhouse. The Board of County Commissioners will be reorganized this morning, when James E. 'Greer takes his position on the board. Mr. Greer and Henry Harding, Republicans elected at the last election, constitute the majority. Julius F. Relnecke, the present Democratic member, will in all probability be chosen chairman of the board, as it is customary to select the hold-over .member for that position, regardless of pol itics. The majority of the board has completed the list of appointments to be made. The list is not oificially announced, but the appointments have been agreed upon for official action this morning. The Republican members of the board have made the selections after a great deal of consideration and Inquiry. They say they have attempted to do the best possible and fill the different positions with efficient men. The old soldiers have been handsomely remembered, as a number have received positions. The applications for the positions were many and it required much consideration to make the selections from so excellent a list. Tho appointing commissioners havo endeavored to give all parts of tho county and city fair representation. A number of the new appointees were selected from out townships, . and in the city the appointments have been distributed. A. L. Hovey will be county attorney, tho position being the best of those filled. A county pauper attorney will not be named for the present. The commissioners are in doubt regarding Iho advisability of appointing onov without it can be done at a regular salary. Heretofore Home young man has been named and every time a caso of importance came up a more experienced lawyer has been appointed to try the case. It has been- suggested that an attorney bo raid a salary for defending paupers and the amount placed at such a sum as to obtain tho services of a lawyer who can attend to It. The commissioners have not definitely decided concerning all tho medical appointments, although Dr. A, L. Wilson will be .the physician at the county jail and Dr. A. L. Preston, of IfaughviUe, physician at the poor farm. There are a number of most exc?llent applicants from which to choose the physician for the workhouse.

The appointment of a new superintendent at the workhouse will, of course, mean the removal of "Goose" Eden. A Democrat said yesterday: "Well, that means 'Goose" will get a Job under the city administration. He knows too much about Democratic affairs in the past." EXPIRATION OF APPELLATE COURT. It Kntlsj In 1807, Despite the nmes Mentioned nil Candidate. Occasionally the name of i?ome one U heard mentioned as a candidate for Appellate Juc!2 at the next State election. The understanding among legal mind: of tnis city Is that the Appellate Court Is a temporary assistant for the Supremo Court, and that it ceases to be after March of 1S97. Hy a special act of the Legislature of 1W1 the present Appellate judges continue in office until January. 1837. The Supreme Court fell further and further behind in Its work, until it was found that some assistance tvas needed, tn 11 the Appellate Court was established for a period of six years, for the purpose of giving this assistance. As a result, the Supreme Court has been permitted to catch up in a sort of a way with its work, so that r.ow a caso may be reached as Koon as nine or ten months after it is filed. The Appellate Court handles the minor cases, thus relieving the Supreme judges. There Is a question if the Supreme Court can ever continue without the assistance of the Appellate Court, and the next Legislature may bo asked to continue the assistant court, but a leadin? Judge of the citv said yesterday he considered it a trlile early to make announcements for Appellate nominations. Certainly men cannot be elected next yr to an oilico which becomes defunct, even though the Legislature should afterwards continue the ofnee. . . . a . A l.l . I toiiirri nua mr nminnunc Superintendent Colbert says tho charges made by ex-patrolman Shortridge charging his superior officers with betraying his confidence In giving the name of a witness to Tollco Judge Cox, are incorrect. In speaking of the matter last night, th Superintendent said: "The afternoon Maley was arrested I called Shortrldgo to my office and asked him if ho had hls witnesses, lie said ho had not got them, but would do o. He said he thought he had a i;ood mm

as bo had witnessed the violation himself. When the case was called-in court the next day, Shortride seemed to take no interest in it and when asked for bis witnesses said he was unable to. find them. Judge Cox directed him to produce them the next day. When he came to court be told thtf deputy prosecutor. Merle Walker, he bad been unable to find his witnesses and repeated a conversation he had with one of Maley'K neighbors, who told him he name of the witnesses. This neighbor was another saloon keeper. Shortrldgo whispered the name of the saloon keeper to Walker himself and neither Captain tjuigley nor I had anything to do with making it public. I was not here when Short ridRe resigned and he did so voluntarily. From the way he conducted himself I do not believe he wanted to make a case against Malcy. Looking for Cits Belt Site. Mr. John S. Murphy, president of the Progress stove and tin works, of Louisville, and Walken. Richardson, president of the Pioneer woolen mills, of the same city, are in Indianapolis. The two gentlemen are looking for new sites for their industries, and propose to move them to the gas beltMr. Murphy's concern employs 110 men, while that of Mr. Rlchardsun employs Mr. Murphy Is a son of Francis Murphy, the temperance evangelist. Dirt Caved In on ntm. Nat Smith was hurt by dirt caving In on him while he was at work In a ditch. He was taken to the People's Home, 145 East Washington, street. In response to a call for assistance Dr. Boot, of' the City Dispensary, went to attend the Injured man. He was pretty seriously hurt, but his injuries are not considered fatal.
