Other missionaries will soon be wn. The special funds jo generously provided has enahlc-d the bx.rd to tike up this work without interfering with the support of the older missions. The day of missions is dawnIn?:, not waning. The general ferment In Ciuv led to such an openness to the gospel as has never been known there and the baptisms In our missions were 1,413, as compared with 928 tho previous year. The vastest empire on earth Is shaking and moving at last. In Korea, the results of missions has even been more manifest. The members received number 1,1 ".3 and more than 3.0 j0 catechumen have been enrolled. In the Pyeng-Yang field alone the people have built during the year forty-four churches. Yet this mission , was not established unti' 1SS5. and five years ago the total membership was HI: to-day It Is 2.079.

The receipts for the year have been $303,713, as compared with $831,511 for tho year 1S97-9S. the latter Including the contributions for the deficit cf lK-37. The board has felt constrained In making the appropriations for the fiscal year 1S09-10OO to limit the budget to tSSJKQ, with the hope that enlarged contributions from the church during the year will enable It to add to this amount. This Is (230,00) le?s than the appropriations six years ago. The whole work needs expantion, wide expansion. It should be enlarged, extended now, without delay." The report of the treasurer showed that offerings had been received from 4,733 churches and that no direct aid had come from 2,647 churches. None of the current contributions to the board had been used to make up any part of the deficit of the Presbyterian building. The report of the auditors showed that the current and invested assets amount to J1.7D3.210 and the liabilities to $1,220,212. The apparent surplus, $3,437, however, may be required to close some of the outstanding raisMon balances. The report of the Board of Home Missions was, in substance: The total number of ministers employed was 2.112, of whom 722 were under the charge of the synods of eight States and independent cf the board. The synods expended $125,305 in their support, and the board $tH5.4-4 on field work.

second day of the annual oesslon of the Reformed Presbyterian Church Synod, held in this city. The Rev. S. M. Kiliough, of Madrid, N. Y., in his report of the committee on signs of the times, referred In glowing terms to the recent war and of the great results It had brought to the country. Elder William Dearncss, of Cincinnati, opposed the report, saj-ing: "Any man who reads approvingly of Dewey's doings or those of his fleet should learn something about the first principle of Christianity. Uniformed men

are a dbgrace to any Christian country and t Is time we learned to civilize men without killing rhem. This is a religious body and wo should rot set our approval on any war, he justltlcatlon of which Is in grave doubt We should approve no war, except one brought in Htnct self-defense. I move that all refertnees to the war be eliminated from the proceedings of this synod." Then followed a retort by the Rev. W. If. Galley, for the Philadelphia Presbytery, suggesting the giving of lhank3 to Gol for tfce victories of the Lmted Staie-4 on land aid sea. A lengthy debate lollowed, and Jlr. Deamess mowd that the rercrts be "purged of all politics and poetry." The reports were accepted. but the secretaries were authorlezd to ?trlke out anything not bearing on synod affa'r. QUAKER XV. V. M. U. 3IEKTIXG. 3Ien and AVon-rn Worklnjc Tojtether 31 ore tlian in the Past. Special to the Indlanar-olis Journal. MARION, Ind., May 13. The question to day before the national convention of the Foreign Missionary Union of the Friends Church was the Joining with the men in the work of missions. Four women's boards have withdrawn from the union and begun Joint work with the men. Oregon, North Carolina, Kansas and Philadelphia have thus far dropped the distinctive title of women's societies, though still doing the same work, with the help of men. A com mittee was appointed to prepare a memorial to present to these boards urging them to return to the union, condsting of Pnoeb Aydelott, of Fall River, Mass.; Esther Pugh, of Selma, O., and Eliza Armstrong, of Indianapolis. In Kansas men are taken Into the societies and made auxiliary to the women's organization. In Iowa men and women do not do the same work, but work In harmony along their two lines. In Indiana there is perfect harmony. In Ohio the men have become satisfied to be on an equality. Tho Wilmington (O.) society, or yearly meeting, has a Joint roreign mission day, when men, women and young people unito. Everything done by the ladies' society is submitted to the yearly meeting board. In New England the women ao their work uninterrupted by the men. Cali fornia reported that an effort in that State to combine the women's and men's boar Is had failed. The Wilmington Yearly Meeting reported that work in that meeting was nut in the hands of a committee of men and women. Tho Wilmington meeting helps support a native worker in Mexico and helps Mattie K. Hadley in her work in low er California. Children's bands are keeping a famine child In India.

REFUSED TO INDICT. Clash RettTeen Governor Atkinson nnd a Grand Jury. WHEELING, W. Va., May ID. There Is an interesting clash between the Ohio county Judiciary and the chief executive of the State, Governor Atkinson. Two years ago William Eaton was tried and sentenced to ten years for burning an overinsured stock of goods here. It was known at the time that he was merely the tool of a dangerous gang of firebugs who made Chicago their headquarters, and the conviction of Eaton was received with satisfaction by Insurance people throughout the central West. Eaton's attorneys have made several fruitless attempts to secure his release, but the last attempt, made before Governor Atkinson, seems to bear seme promise, for the Governor wrote to the Criminal Court officials here giving notice that he would rardon Eaton unless the more culpable persons in the conspiracy were brought to the bar of Justice. As a result a special grand Jury was called to-day and Eaton went before that body and turned informer, implicating Frederick Schmidt, alias Smith, and Cowie, alias Gordon, both of Chicago. Evidently the grand jury did not place any faith in Eaton's testimony, for it promptly brought In a report in which it found three true bills against Eaton for perjury, but found no true bills in the cases o Schmidt and Cowlc. In addition, the grand Jury addressed a strong letter to the Governor, protesting against his proposed pardon of Eaton, whom it unanimously believed to be guilty. The case is exciting great interest and the Insurance people are particularly worked up. STONES INSTEAD OF A BODY Alleged Attempt to Defrnnd Fraternal Insurunee Societies. ' FORT SCOTT. Kan., May 10. The state authorities here were to-day notified by the Texas officers that the grave in which Thomas O'Toole, the Fort Scott man who was reported to have died in Texas last month, was supposed to have been buried had been opened and that it had been found to contain nothing but stones wrapped in a blanket. O'Toole carried $S,10O life Insurance in the Modern Woodmen, the Royal Neighbors and the Woodmen of the World. A warrant charging attempted fraud has been sworn out for O'Toole's arrest. He was a patent medicine manufacturer. His whereabouts are unknown. His wile and two children left here last night and have not been heard from. Several weeks ago Mrs. O'Toole returned from Texas, announced that her husband had died from smallpox while they were sojourning near the Mexican border and attempted to collect the Insurance, insurance oliiclals then began an investigation of the case. NO ACTION ON TRUSTS. Commercial Travelers Voted Squelch Resolutions. to LOUISVILLE, Ky., May W. The delegates to tbe National T. P. A. convention were to-day the guests of the Southern Railroad on a trip through the bluegrass section of Kentucky. To-morrow they will take a trip to Mammoth Cave as the guests of the Louisville & Nashville road. The delegates returned to-night in time to hold a stormy and tiresome meeting. The most significant action of the evening was the almost unanimous vote to squelch resolutions voicing the sentiments of the convention on trusts. This action was taken on account of what seemed to the members the inadvisabillty of touching the question at all or of bringing politics into the organization. Another important resolution calls for a petition to the President and secretary of state to appoint all consular agents from the ranks of competent business men. The convention then adjourned without date, AFFAIRS IN SAMOA. Natives Still Excited, but So Further Outbreak. Expected. VANCOUVER, B. C. May 19. Latest news from Samoa brought by the steamer Mlowera indicates that the situation Is practically unchanged and that affairs are remaining in statu quo pending definite arrangements between Great Britain, Germany and the United States.

FIRED OX n' THE FATHER OF TIIE GIRL IIC HAD BEUN DOCTORIXG. Trial of Dr. Gray for Mnrder of Malis Skinner Goes to Bloomtleld Jury To-Day State Xevrs. Special to the Indiaaapolis Journal. GREENSBURG, Ind., May ID. At Burney, a small station eight miles west of this city on the Columbus branch of the Big Four Railroad, Dr. John M. Tobias was shot to-day with a shotgun by Edward Bach, who resides on a farm a short distance from the station. Bach came to the 6tation shortly after noon and waited with his shotgun In front of a store. When the doctor came from his residence Bach advanced and fired not to kill, he claims, only to wound the doctor. The gun was loaded with large shot, which took effect In the right arm, frightfully mangling it, and In the right breast. Bach came to this city and surrendered to the sheriff, and when Interviewed at the jail refused to make any statement. Bach's neighbors and the victim know of no reason which would cause such a tragedy. The doctor has been, treating a sixteen-year-old daughter of Bach's for some time, and when he shot him. Bach exclaimed: "I will teach you to ta.ke advantage of my daughter." The doctor denies taking any advantage of the girl, and she Is considered to be an exceptionally good girl. Bach and his son came to this county about three years ago from Canton, O., at which place he taught school for a number of years and ran on the Democratic ticket for prosecuting attorney and was defeated. Since coming to this county he has taught school and farmed. He is now deputy prosecuting attorney, located at Burney. His victim is a veteran of the war of 1S1 and an old practitioner. He has a family. Another story is that Bach prosecuted some people for misdemeanor. and the doctor took the opposite side. The doctor's condition is regarded as serious. STILL TALKING FOR GRAY. Dlooratield Murder Case Will -ot Reach the Jury Vutll To-Day. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMFIELD, Ind., May 19. This has been a day of oratory in the Gray murder case. The case did not reach the Jury this evening as had been anticipated, but will be submitted by noon to-morrow. Hundreds of people were unable to gain admission to tho courthouse. Many did not leave at the noon hour, but remained rather than to give up their seats. The sensation of the day was the dramatic speech of Hon. Eph Inman, of Washington, for the State. Such a speech never fell from the lips of man before in this county. It was Intensely dramatic and he had part of the Jury in tears. He told the Jurymen they had been 6etected not only by their county, but by their State and country as well, to render Justice and that the whole world waited for the first faint whisper of their verdict. He commended the people of Greene county for their patience and forbearance when a long series of murders culminated In the most brutal crime that ever disgraced the State, committed In the very shadow of the courthouse. He said Dr. Gray's insanity might have been in his head at the time of the murder, but that it went to hl9 heels after he committed it. The climax of his epeech was reached when he held aloft the blood-stained garments of Malissa Skinner and then hurling them at the feet of the murderer exclaimed: "Thou shalt not kill." Mr. Inman was followed by Emerson Short for the defense and he was followed this afternoon by Prosecuting Attorney Charles D. Hunt for the State, both of whom made notable speeches. Hon. Cyrus B. Davis will make the effort of his life In the morning for the defendant and Judge Buff will close the case for the State.

LAFAYETTE. Ind., May 19. One of the most interesting characters at the Indiana Soldiers' Home is Mrs. Ellazbeth Thompson. She is a new inmate, having been admitted from Johnson county on April 10, and her application for admission is an entertaining1 history. She was born in Virginia in 1800, the exact day not being given, and is consequently approachltg' the end of a century of life. She moved with her parents to Indiana in her childhood and has been a resident of the State ever since. In I860 she married Abraham Johnson, who soon after Joined Company E, Twenty-second Indiana.

Efforts made by tho stockholders of the Godman Brake Company, of this city, to adjust the claims and recover possession of the plant have been frustrated for the present by the appearance of a new creditor in the person of Paddget & Son, of Lafayette, who set up a claim for a large sum of money alleged to be due for the use of a patent. The claim has been filed with Receiver J. L. Vermillion. The directors met here Monday of this week and reported having raised enough money to make a payment of 40 per cent, of the claims and secure the payment of the rest within six months.

His left was wonderfully useful and whenever a blow seemed effective he was all over his man with both hands. He gave O'Brien no rest and after the size-up it was only a question of time. The thirteenth round was the only one that looked at all O'Brien's. Walcott opened with a series of jabs, but toward the close O'Brien planted his right on the jaw and his left on the nose.

The ngagement of "Minister Extraordirary" closed at the Granl last right with the largest audience of the week, and it is unfortunate that Barclay Walker could not continue the engagement for Saturday matinee and night. Ills new opera has "caught on" in fine style, and scores of people who had put off going to see it until last night were disappointed to find the seats were all sold. Wrhlle the patronage has been large on every night, it Is learned that Mr. Walker was put to so much expense for his production that the returns at popular prices are not equal to the outlay. The cos tumes were made to order, and. with the scenery and properties all to be provided, he went to as much expense, almost, as if he had prepared for a season on the road. Many of his singers have positions that made It impossible for them to play either Saturday afternoon or night. An outsider rould think that Indianapolis business men would bo glad to encourage & local opera ccmposer by freely offering hjnx the services of any .' their talented employes on an occasion like this, but perhaps the subject wa never presented to them. It may surprise many people to know thai Barclay Walker, who Is the only Indianapolis composer that has come forward with a comic opera, should meet with anything but sympathy and encouragement In his production of "Minister Extraordinary," but there is unmistakable evidence that he has had discouraging and petty opposition from sources least expected. It is even said there were some who did not enjoy the prospect of his success. In view of this It must be flattering to the composer to tind that tho Indianapolis public was quick to recognize the merit of his production: Mr. Walker should receive some substantial reward for the excellent entertainment he has been giving at the Grand, and it would be the proper mnw frwr him tn have at least one benefit performanco some night next wek. There scouia De some one wno coum iac uo fair in hand and make a success of itThe Hold en Comedy Company appeared yesterday in "The Denver Express." There is an exciting climax to every one of tho four acts of this play. The first ends with an Indian massacre, the second with the departure of the Garveys for San Francisco, the third with the capture of the heroine by "Comanche Bill" and his Indian allies and the lourth with a hand-to-hand fight at the Union Hotel In San Francisco.' Kalpa Ravencroft's work In the dual role of Tommy Tucker and "Comanche Bill" is especlallv good. Kitty de Lorroe has. a congenial part as Mabel.
