The condition of four or five men who have been hovering between life and death ever since the shooting was unchanged, hut all of the otherw were doing well and many already hare been discharged from the hospital. The funeral of Jacob Tomaehontas, the lad who was shot through the head and lingered until Sunday, occurred to-day in McAdoo. It was attended by one of the largest gatherings seen since the outbreak of the- trouble. There was no demonstration ann the services passed off quietly. The only other incident In that quiet village was the faihrre of the Lehigh and Wllkesbarre men to return to wrk. Guards are still being placed around the houses of severs 1 of the mine superintendents and during the day a sheriff's deputy was seen about the streets guarded by two soldiers. Former State Senator King’s stripping, rear F.ckfoy, closed down to-dy, at the reqte v of the Eckley miners. The stripping rrrploved only a few men. Senator King mo to here to-night from his home in Mahoney City and made arrangements to resum# work to-morrow. ai a late hour to-night everything is quiet about headquarters. A MITH-niSIJKED BOSS. Superintendent June's Tells of Ills Troubles with Miners. HAZLETON, Pa., Sept. 14. Gomer Jones, the mine superintendent against whose rule the strikers at the Lehigh and Wilkesbarse mines rebelled, discussed the situation to-day. Mr. Jones came here from Stodsman, Eng. 'nd, where he spent seven years as a superintendent. He has worked his way up from the bottom to his present position. Asked about the cause of the miners’ dislike for him, the superintendent said: ”1 came here a year ago to restore discipline in the mines and to operate them on a paying basis for the company. At that time the men did about as they pleased, having been spoiled by familiarity from the two previous superintendents. My habits are differ<git. I am not a drinking man. and I have never made it a practice to hobnob with the men. When I give orders 1 expect them to be obeyed.” “in this policy you were carrying out the instructions of the company'.'” h© was asked. “That wai! what I was employed for. Then I dismissed about eighty men, but 1 never put anybody in their places. On the night that the strikers cam* to my house and stole s2uo worth of silverware and broke the furniture we w T cre. armed and could have killed a hundred of them if we had wanted to. It was a drunken mob—that was all—and I thought we had had enough bloodshed.'* , “Are you not afraid of violence at the hands of the strikers if they get hold of you?” “No; 1 have been her# every day since the strike commenced. I walk the streets day o*r night without running any risk.” “lio you anticipate troubl* when the go Lack to work to-morrow?” •No, I believe that the other operators will grant the concessions that the men ask for. it must come some time. Wages had got t- a. point where the men could hardly exist if cut down any further.” Called Kmtnl Slaughter. BLOOMINGTON, 111., Sept. 14.—At the fifteenth annual conference of the Illinois Federation of Labor to-day bitter resolutions, denouncing the killing of the Hazleton miners as brutal slaughter, were presented, and, after a heated discussion, referred to a committee. President Reifflor, in his annual address, said: “Just as long as labor must divide the products of its toil with those who control the opportunities to labor just so long will millionaires and paupers alike exist in society. Superficial remedies are inadequate to subdue fundamental ills.” He recommended the federation to “take a bold and unequivocal stand in favor of the abolition of land monopoly by levying all taxes upon land values, irrespective of improvements, in lieu of all other taxes; that the government ownership of railroads, telegraphs and telephones and their operation for the convenience of people and for their benefit and the municipal ownership and control of all those public conveniences which become a necessity by reason of the centralization of population.” He also recommended a movement to secure the’ establishment of postal savings banks. Wants Deputies Punished. TiONDON, Sept. 15.—The Vienna correspondent of the Daly News says; “I learn that the. Imperial government will demajid full satisfaction for the injuries to AustroHungarhm subjects at Lattimer and the severe punishment of those who are culpable in that affair, according to the sentence of £he American tribunals.”

HfIZERS FINED $9 EACH ♦ WIIAT COLUMBUS HIGH-SCHOOL BOYS PAID FOR TIIEIR FUN. 0 Explanation of tlie Trouble in Glass Workers' l uion, L. A..”, 00—011 Field Production. . . r, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COLUMBUS, Ind., Sept. 14.—Six more Hlfrh School boys, who took part in the hazin.m of Freshman Raymond McCormack, on last Tuesday, pleaded guilty before Mayor Beck this afternoon and each was assessed a fine, including costs, amounting to $9. The names of the boys are: Roy Mac Coy, Dale Cooper, French Ragsdale, John Scott, Clarence Cochrane and Carroll Ei rgess. The affidavits were filed against the boys last evening. It in thought this will stop hx-zing in Columbus, as all of the offenders in the McCormack case have been fined. The cases of Carson George, Herbert Hogue and Edward Cobb, who were fined for the same offense by Justice Palmer yesterday afternoon, will not be appealed to the Circuit Court, as was intended. The fines of all the boys were either paid or stayed. They are all High School students and sons of prominent citizens. The severe treatment that McCormack received at the hands of the hazers, it is feared, may prove more injurious than at first thought, although his condition is now by no means serious. Mr. P. H- McCormack, father of the boy, says that he will push the prosecution of the ringleaders of the hazers still further under another act, in th# next term of the Bartholomew Circuit Court. 0 HINSHAW TELLS HIS STORY. No Material Change from Ilia Previous Sworn Statement. Special to the Indianapo’ia Journal. DANVILLE, Ind., Sept. 14.—The Journal’s exclusive announcement of attempted bribery in the Hinshaw investigation produced a sensation this morning when th© papers reached Danville. There is nothing more to be learned in connection with it. Mr. Gulley refuses to give the name of the person who approached him, but verities the story. Wm. E. Hinshaw was before the grand jury twice to-day, James B. Wilson, editor of’the People, was also given an opportunity to tell his story. Other witnesses were from Danville, who told what they saw at Belleville the night that Baney was thero. Mr. Gulley Is still much with the attempt to shadow him by a detective in Indianapolis Saturday night. He says that Mr. Parker, Union B. Hunt, Ellsworth Hinshaw and Dr. Spinning went to Indianapolis on the same train. He sa.w them greet the man, who turned from them to uog th© footsteps of the prosecutor. Mr. Parker was asked to-day about the matter, and h said "I have nothing for publication.” To-morrow Baney and Van Tassel are expected hero. Ellsworth Hinshaw, brother of the minister, is also expected soon before the grand jury, it is known that Mr. Gulley, as proseutor, has in his pbssession a letter which Ellsworth Hinshaw wrote to Wm. PJ. Hinshaw 7 shortly after the tragedy, W'hile the preacher was still in Belleville. Wm. E. Hinshaw evidently dropped the letter on the street, where it was found. As Ellsworth was not a witness in the trial no opportunity has ever been given to question him concerning this letter. Mr. Gulley was asked to-day if he would question luilsworth about this letter when he was before the grand jury. He replied: “I think not. The only effect would be to embarrass him, and 1 have no desire to act as if 1 had a knife for him or his brother.” Despite all. there is undoubtedly a softening of public feeling in favor of the convicted minister. There is a desire, expressed on every side, to give him every show, and the people may be said to be united on the matter of having the fullest investigation of every phase of the case, and that is all the friends of Hinshaw say they want. Ellsworth. Hinshaw Here. W. E. Hinshaw and James B. Wilson, who were taken to Danville to testify before the grand jury, did not reach Indianapolis last night on their way back to Michigan City. Ellsworth Hinshaw 7 , brother of the convicted preacher, arrived early in the evening, but left the Grand Hotel after supper and had not returned at midnight.

WABASH COLLEGE OPENS. President Burroughs Delivers the First of Series of Lectures, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Sept. 14.—The fall term of the sixty-sixth year of Wabash College opened this morning with the customary devotional exercises. President Burroughs delivered an address on the advisability of an early choice of one’s life work. This was really the preface to a eourso of lectures by leading men on the professions, to be given during the year. Students will have free admission to these valuable talks. The faculty has been widely scattered during the summer. Most of the old students have returned, and a gratifying number of new faces are in the seats. The attendance promises to be the largest for three years, the freshman class now numbering fifty. A number from other colleges will enter the higher classes. Several former students, who have been out for a while, are for work. The, library of 35.000 volumes, so splendidly housed in Yandes Library Hall, has been rearranged approximately according to the Dewev decimal system. A better classification has been needed for some time, and doubtless better service can now be had by the reader. Bound volumes of magazines have been added. This year President Burroughs will have an assistant in psychology. The physical laboratory has received additional apparatus, thereby providing abundant appliances for the study of electrical science. Professor Emery, -chair of chemistry, seven years a member of rite faculty of Bonn University before coming to Wabash, has spent the summer with his family in Germany. Professor Starr was also abroad, studying in Paris, Berlin and London. Very little serious talk is heard concerning coeducation, and it is thought that Wabash College, for some time yet, will remain true to the distinctively New England type. Earlhn nt Doors Open. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind.. Sept. 14. Earlham College opened to-day with the largest lirstday attendance in her history. The football team begins practicing at once and has arranged for a game with V\ mchester on Saturday, Sept. 25. llanover Opens To-Day. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MADISON, Ind., Sept. 14.—Hanover College reopens to-morrow with unusually large attendance. President Fisher says the prospects are bright for a successful year. * JACKSON HILL MINE BURNED. All Building* Destroyed on the Eve of Starting Operation*. iSpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBURN, Ind.. Sept. 14.—This morning at 3 o’clock the mining buildings and machinery of the Jackson Hill Coal Company were all destroyed by fire. Manager Kolsom was at Jackson Hill preparatory* to starting the mine to-day, and one. hundred miners were ready to resume work. Mr. Kolsom stated this morning the loss would reach $50,000, which was partially covered by insurance. When asked the origin of the fire he said he did not know. The power was furnished by compressed air, and it was considered one of the best plants of its kind in the State. When in full operation it gave employment to two hundred or three hundred men. Mr. Kolsom said the mine would be rebuilt as soon as practicable, as there was too much coal to lose. The night watchman says the mining buildings were on fire an three different places when discovered. No blame is attached to the striking miners. The insurance on the Jackson Hill mine follows: Mutual Fire, $1,215; Hanover, sl,700; the Traders', $715; Underwriters', 31.935; Connecticut, $1,560: Manchester, $2,430; Scottish Union, SI,W4; Fire Association.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MONTPELIER, Ind., Sept. 14.—For the first time in many months the shipments of the various pipe lines, handling Pennsylvania oil, exceeded the runs, and the result Is a decrease of about 38,000 barrels In the net stocks. This is not large, bgt It marks a great change and may be the turning point with respect to reversing the conditions that have prevailed in regard to production and consumption. The runs were the heaviest of the year, but the shipments likewise showed an enormous gain and were in excess of 100,000 barrels a day. During the first seven months of the present year there was a gain of over 1,800.000 barrels in the net stocks. The greatest gain for any one month was close to 4tX),000 barrels. It will thus be seen that a decline of nearly 38,000 barrels is the more remarkable on this account. The stocks of Ohio and Indiana oil on the last day of August amounted to 22.952,736 barrels. The credit balances on Aug. 31 had increased to 6,452,736 barrels. The runs averaged 53,816 barrels a day for August in Ohio and Indiana fields, or 1,098 barreLs less than the average for July. The shipments of Ohio and Indiana oil for August were the smallest of the year, having averaged but 47,682 barrels a day, or 11,734 barrels a day below the average for July. The following is a summary of Ohio and Indiana oil at the close of business, Aug. 31: Gross stocks 25,352,589.78 Sediment and surplus 2,399,853.93 Acceptances 16,500,000.00 Credit balances 6,452,735.85 Net liabilities 22,952,735.85 —Receipts.— Runs from wells 1.668.256.57 Other receipts Total 1,668,286.57 —Deliveries.— Regular 1,478,128.96 Other delleveries Total 1,478,128.96 —Refined Oil.— The following is a statement of refined oils for August: Receipts for August 51,347.45 Deliveries for August 52,966.55 Stocks for July 31 113,192.26 Stocks for August 31 111,573.16 Lute Indiana Wells. MONTPELIER, Ind., Sept. 14—The Ohio Oil Company has completed No. 11 on the Huffman farm, in Section 1, Jackson township, Wells county, and it started at 100 barrels. Well No. 12, on the same farm, has also just been completed and started at ninety barrels. This has proven one of the best producing farms in that tow nship. The same company’s No. 4, on the L. V. Conwell farm, in Section 1, Van Buren township, Grant county, started at twenty barrels. S. W. Tait <& Cos. have finished well No. 4, on the W. F. & S. J. Stotts farm, in Section 26, Jackson township, Wells county 7 , and it did fifty barrels. Kerr, Lineman & Brew er have completed well No. 8, on the E. Morrison farm, in Section 2, same township, and jt did one hundred barrels. The Akron Oil Company has just completed a gusher in No. 7 well, on the William Alexander farm, in Section 27, Jackson township, Wells county. It did 250 barrels.

THE GLASS WORKERS’ TROUBLE. President Chambers Takes the Side of the Blowers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PENDLETON, Ind., Sept. 14.— The trouble which is again threatening the disruption of L. A. 300 is rapidly narrowing down to the old dispute between the trades composing that body. The blowers and gatherers do not give up their contention that their trades are not paid in proportion to the skill and endurance required when compared with the cutters and flatteners and in support of that claim quote an interview with James A. Chambers, president of the Chambers Glass Company, the largest window-glass factory In the United States, and probably the best posted nan in the trade. The interview appeared in the Pittsburg Dispatch three years ago and again on Sunday of this week. After discussing wages in particular, and the difference between single and double strength work, Mr. Chambers said: “The four trades are not paid proportionately as they merit, physical endurance and skill considered. For instance, the single strength blowers and gatherers are paid less in proportion to the skill and labor required than the others. The flatteners and cutters particularly are better paid th<v} the others, skill and labor considered. In Ji .triess and fairness there should be a readjustment of the wages of the four trades. The orfanlzation has prevented its accomplishment thus ar. owing to one of their rules that any reducticn or advance must be the same to all four trades. It's only a question of time, however, aid in my judgment a short time, when an equitable basis will he enforced, as it is becoming more apparent every day to every fair-minded workn an that the wages are so much out of balance that dissatisfaction is growing, and those most adversely affected are becoming more and more impatient. The entering wedge has already been started, and the rule that has heretofore always been observed was for the first time violated in the settlement of the wages lately made, which provides for a reduction of 20 per cent, to three branches of the trade and but 10 per oent. to the other. "Before closing, in justice to the extreme large double-strength blowers and gatherers, I wish to state that, while the wages they earn might seem enormous to those who have no knowledge of what is required of them, yet when one considers the almost superhuman strength and skill required to perform iheir work, one is bound to admit that they are not overpaid. With my knowledge and experience of the business, if I were compelled to work at the trade, and had the strength, skill and ability that come to onlyone in a thousand to blow this extremely large glass, I would prefer to make small double at $6.50 per dav rather than wear myself out, ruin mv health and break myself down physically, which is sure to be the case with every workman, no matter how strong, if he jtersists in continuing to make very large double strength.” Tin-Plate Works Resume. Soeeial to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD, Ind., Sept. 14.—The great American tin-plate factory resumed operations in all departments this morning and all the old employes are back in their places, the late unpleasantness apparently having been forgotten. The striking flatteners and cutters at one window-glass factories refuse to go to work, but the members of the new union are taking their places. It is now thought that when the other window-glass factories throughout the country start there will be enough union flatteners and cutters to do the work. One result of the late strike will be that many apprentices will be taken in to learn the flatteners’ and cutters’ trade. 0 A DESIGNING VILLAIN. Ex-Convict Had Married Worthy Young IVomiin of Greenville, O. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENVILLE, 0., Sept. 14.—The public square and mayor’s office is half crowded to-night with anxious sight-seers to get a glimpse of Chief of Police Westen, of Harrisburg, Pa., and Robert Miller, alias Test, alias Hayes, who is in the city prison charged with larceny and forgery, for whom Chief Westen is here with requisition papers. The chief came this evening with photographs and identified the prisoner. Tomorrow morning they will leave for Pennsylvania. This ends the honeymoon of a romantic marriage here recently, and though the “black sheep” gave his beautiful bride of six weeks S6OO he had when arrested it does not suffice to relieve her. grief and shame. It developed to-night that the accused hotel thief had escaped from Harrisburg (Pa.) jail last July, and that he burglarized the Huffman Hotel there on July 29; that he has served two terms in the Ohio penitentiary’, one at Sing Sing and another at Syracuse. N. Y., and that he stole $1,500 worth of diamonds. He attempted to fight his transfer in the court, but has given it up and agreed to go East. He will be handcuffed, and probably his wife will accompany him. BANK WILL LIQUIDATE. Other Gre-ensburg Bankers Come to Relief of First National. Special to the Indianapolls Journal. WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. Acting Controller of the Currency Coffin has received word from Bank Examiner Packard that he thinks the affairs of the defunct Greensburg National Bank will be liquidated by Sept. 20, two other banks of that city having agreed to assume the responsibility. This is the arrangement Mr. Coffin has been trying to reach from the outset. 0 TWO FORGERS ARRESTED. One I* Jerry lllllogasM, for Years Allen County Saperintendent. Special to the Indiana polls Journal. FORT WAYNE, Ind., Sept. 14.—Jerry Hillegass, for many years superintendent of the Allen county schools, was arrested to-night on an Indictment charging him with forging the name of J. R. Bittinger

to a note for $250. He also moved chattelmortgaged property to the State of Kansas. All of this happened eleven years ago, at which time he was removed from the superintendency and moved to Kansas, but came back two weeks ago to visit relatives here. Too much social life was the ruination of Hillegass while In the position. He was a very competent school officer, of excellent education and highly respected until his downfall. Edward Longfield. a prominent young man, gambler and all-round sport, was arrested this evening for forging a widow's name to a note for $250 and getting the money on it. Both men are now in jtiil under SI,OOO bond. Hillegass expects wealthy, relatives to come to his rescue. Old Steel Works Started Again. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MONTPELIER. Ind., Sept. 14.—The Indiana Steel Castings Company, of this city, went out of existence Saturday afternoon and was at once succeeded by the National Steel Castings Company. After the plant was built the company was unable to operate it and it went into the hands of a receiver, but was sold Saturday by order of the court. Charles Bash paid $1,500 for it and assumed debts to the amount of $50,000. Immediately after the sale the National Steel Castings Company was formed with a capital of $200,000. Charles Bash, of Fort Wayne, has 600 share**; J. A. Hindman, of Hartford City, 200 shares; C. F. Springer, of this city. 600 shares; J. R. Sinclair, of this city, 200 shares- B. H. V hltely, of Muncle, 400 shares; E. H. Lake, of Chicago, 250 shares. Immediately after the formation of the company, the plant's whistles blow and men went to work. The capacity of the factory is 400 men, but only 250 are now employed. The company has orders enough to keep it busy for one year. Car fixtures are the principal output. Question for Covert-Hull Debate. .Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 14.—Dr. H. J. Becker, of Dayton, who was chairman of the committee that arranged the debate between Covert and Hull, the champions of the Spiritualist and anti-Spiritualist forces, announced to-day the following propositions for discussion. First two nights: “Resolved, That modern Spiritualism, in its phenomena and philosophy, is in harmony with the teachings of history, reason and the Bible.” Mr. Hull will affirm the proposition and Elder Covert will deny. The last two nights the discussion will be devoted to the proposition; “Resolved, That modern Spiritualism, as a system of science, religion and phjlospphy, is a delusion, a fraud and a lie, and its honest believers are deluded the same as the Mormons.” Elder Covert will affirm and Mr. Hull deny. After the Strimkonril Works. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., Sept. 14.—Marshall D. Short, through his attorney, Deputy State Fish Commissioner Hon. Ozro N. Cranor, to-day filed suit for $5,000 damages from the Albany straw board works, and a permanent Injunction restraining the company from the further pollution of the Mlssissinewa river with the refuse from its mill' at Albany. In the complaint farmer Short states that the refuse has overflowed on his land, rendering sorn'e of it worthless, that the stench has mad© his place of residence uninhabitable, and has caused sickness and death in his family, and that the water in the stream has been mad’e unlit for stock. Mr. Cranor visited the river for a distance of ten miles between Albany and Eaton last Sunday, and found wagonioads of fish that have been poisoned, and the decayed flesh makes life anything but pleasant to residents within a mile of th’e river. Mr. Cranor will see that suits are brought against the Paragon paper mill, of Eaton, also.

Holloway’s $25,000 Damage Suit. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENCASTLE, Ind., Sept- 14.—The case of Edward Holloway against the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway Company will be called for trial in the Putnam Circuit Court to-morrow. The action grows out of the Fontanet wreck, by which the midnight passenger train on the Big Four was wrecked at that point during the big strike in 1894. Holloway alleges that he was arrested and falsely Imprisoned for three months, losing employment for that length of time at $3 a day and an expense for attorneys of $2,500. Since Holloway's imprisonment others were arrested and convicted of the crime, and he therefore asks $25,000 damages for false imprisonment. The case has caused great interest in three countie- since it was begun, as it was first filed in the Vigo Circuit Court, then taken to Clay county and finally brought to Putnam. It is now believed by attorneys that the case after three years’ delay will finally reach trial. Tried to Poison a Family. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART, Ind., Sept. 14.—Capt. W. H. Merritt and family, of this city, had a narrow 7 escape from malicious poisoning yesterday. Mrs. Merritt was seriously affected for a time. Early yesterday morning Mrs. Merritt pumped a bucket of water which did not look right, and she threw it away and pumped another. She took a drink of this and her suspicions were aroused. In a few minutes she became very ill, and household remedies failed to relieve her. She suffered from severe convulsions, and the physicians’ constant attention until 12 o’clock last night was required before her life was out of danger. Other members of the family tasted the water, but could not elrink it. Dr. Griffin’s examination show r ed that the water contained strychnine. The Merritts are confident they know who made the attempt on their lives, and the matter has been placed in the hands of the officers. Rninons September Drought. .Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HAGERSTOWN, Ind., Sept. 14.—The longcontinued drought has been very disastrous to the corn crop, which in this vicinity has dried too fast in the intense heat and is chaffy and will be of light weight in consequence. The leaves on the trees have shriveled and fallen to the ground in great numbers, where they lie in heaps dry ana brown as if there had been heavy frosts. Grapes are withered on the vines and nearly all the winter apples have fallen from the trees. Fall vegetables are drying up, the grass is brown and crumbles like glass, the elust is intolerable and hangs in the air like smoke, while the heat is greater than ever known in September. Farmers cannot get the ground ready for sowing wheat, and the lack of water for household purposes is a serious question with many. Dr. Osborne’s Mysterious Deatb. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FRANKFORT, Ind., Sept. 14.—Dr. J. H. Osborne, whose mysterious illness, together with the burning of his residence at Moran, was mentioned in a special to the Journal yesterday, died this morning at 2:30 o’clock. . Dr. Thompson, of Winamac, an bid friend of Dr. Osborne’s, who was summoned by the family, does not agree with the local physician who pronounced it a case of poison, and says that death was due to an attack of apoplexy.

Bentley, of Milwaukee. The annual address of the president, James Meathe, of Detroit, re-outlined the purposes of the association, which distinctly affirm “that absolute personal Independence of the Individual to work or not to work, to employ or not to employ, is a fundamental principle which should never be questioned or assailed; that upon it depends the security of our social fabric and prosperity, and that while upon fundamental principles it would be useless to confer or arbitrate, there are still many points upon which conference and arbitration are perfectly right and proper, and that upon such points is it manifest duty to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by associations to confer together, to the end that strikes and other disturbances may be prevented. Mr. Meathe predicted anew era of prosperity for the building trade, which, he said, was almost the last to feel the benefit ot reviving business conditions. In criticism of some features of labor unions, Mi. Meathe said: ‘‘While it is the right of all trades, no matter what they may be, to organize to accomplish something the individual cannot accomplish, still they have no right to prevent others from earning their living because they are not members ot their organizations. In this city we have municipal boards who have the audacity to put into the terms of their contracts provision that none but union men should be employed on city work, thereby discriminating against those citizens and taxpayers whose conscience will not permit them to be members of any organization. While such a contract is not valid, yet it there is creeping into our municipal boards a species of demagogy against which bodies organized as ours should enter an earnest 1 In conjunction with the main o^®?* s ?*** the building inspectors are holding wAirnmed nual meeting here. They were also welcomed by the mayor and transacted the usual routine business this afternoon. Milwaukee wants the next convention and will Pr®ably secure it. Thomas R. Bentley, of that city, now first vice president, will undoubtedly he advanced to the presidency. Improved Order of Red Men.
