Abolition of Poet EirhanRn Haa Worked Harm to Soldiers. WASHINGTON. Dec. 4 General Bates, paymaster general of the army, has sent a communication to Adjutant General Corbin In regard to the army canteen question in which he says: 'The claim of the War Department recommending the restoration of the canteen to the army that during the operations of the canteen law the discipline of the army was superior, desertions much less and that there were fewer fines and forfeitures by courts-martial on account of breaches of military discipline resulting from the use of intoxicants by men in the service, appears to be borne out by the records of the paymaster general's officers. These records shnv that ihn paymasters or the army collected from 75.OU0 enlisted men (regulars) during the last year in which the canteen was in force, on account of soldiers' home dues, fines and forfeitures, g4H2.aia, while during the fiscal year 1902. since the abolishment of the canteen there was collected by paymasters from about 70.000 enlisted men (regulars) on the game account $632.125. "The fact, therefore, appears indisputable by the figures that the lines and forfeitures Imposed upon and collected from the enlisted men of the army were vastly Increased during the year subsequent to the abolishment of the canteen, which Increase cannot be well attributed to any other cause than the effects of an uncontrolled liquor traffic in connection with military posts, which traffic appears to seriously affect the morals and discipline of the army." a MI9CELL ASEOl S SEWS.

Dr. Lafollette is a brother of Assistant United States Attorney Lafollette, of Indianapolis. He has some enemies in his neighborhood, and last summer his barn was destroyed by fire of incendiary origin. I The flames communicated to the adjoining house of S. W. Roberts and burned that. The doctor and his wife rushed into the sitting room, when they heard the explosion, and with water from the well succeeded in quenching the flames in time to save the house, but the furnishings were ruined. A search of the splintered fragments of wood led to the discovery of evidence that one piece had been filled with an explosive.

Destruction of tlie Gaston Methodist Church by Fire. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GASTON, Ind., Dec. 4. The Methodist Church burned at 11 o'clock last night. It was built eight years ago at a cost of $6,000 and was insured for 13,000. There had been no fire about the church for three days, which gives rise to the idea of incendiary origin. The belief Is strengthened by the fact that some weeks ago a saloon man assaulted Rev. George W. Martin, the pastor, on the street for his efforts against violators of the liquor laws. The fire seems to have originated in the coal sheds back of the church and was communicated to the cornice of the building, which was the only wooden part exposed, the walls being of brick and the roof of slate. The lock to the coal shed was pried off and thrown down, and as no one can be found who did this to get to the fire the theory of incendiarism is again strengthened. The shed was of wood and built up to the church cornice. GROWTH OF LAFONTAINE. Second Hank Is Betna Oraranlsed Town Will lie Incorporated. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH. Ind., Dec. 4.

Dec. 4 -The application of Willis Wlsehart for license to sell intoxicant! in Russiaville failed to pass the County Commissioners. A remonstrance with 179 names was hied against the pe li

tloner. and he failed to appear. Honey Creek township temperance voters, at the late election, entered into a compact regardleas of party affiliation not to vote for secretary of state so that remonstrances would require a much smaller number of names to constitute a majority, the basis being on the vote cast for secretary of state. The plan succeeded, so that only 121 names on a remonstrance are required to defeat an applicant for license. The decision of a judge let two applicants In. which gave the township two saloons with legal authority, the first for several years to get license.

Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pittsburg National League club, was in the city yesterday. He conferred with John T. Brush before the latter left for New York and spent about two hours with W. H. Watkins in the lattvr's office in the Majestic building. Just the exact nature of the business that brought Mr. Dreyfuss to Indianapolis is not known, but he seemed to be in jovial spirits as if nothing was worrying him. Dreyfuss and Watkins would not tell the business discussed in the Indianapolis club's office. Mr. Dreyfuss is the man that owned the best club in the country last year. It was badly raided this fall, but he says he is not worrying in the least over the prospects for next season. Some of his best men will be with American League clubs in 1903, but he expects to have equally as strong players to represent Pittsburg next season. He acknowledges that some of his players made ridiculous demands for high salaries, and he would not grant them. Mr. Dreyfuss is one of the most enthusiastic men in the country just at present over the success of the National League. "The National League Is stronger now than it ever was in its history," said the genial owner of the Pittsburg club. "There are no factions in the big league now every club owner believes in harmony and will light for the best interests of the game. There has been a little newspaper talk lately that John L Rogers, of Philadelphia, has a grievance because New York signed Delehanty, of Washington. I don't believe that Rogers feels in the least hurt over the matter, and, furthermore. I believe that he wishes the New York club success. "The National League will be stronger 'this year than last, and the coming season will no doubt witness the crisis of the American League. Johnson's organisation has put up a bold front for some time, but it will lose much of its prestige this winter and next season. I believe there will be no American League after 1903. "There has been much talk of the American entering Pittsburg in opposition to me and the National League. I would be pleased to welcome them when they come. but they won t come. There is 'nothing doing' in Pittshurg for Johnson's organization. You can bet that the American won't get into New York either, at least it won t have a club on the Island." COMMERCIAL LEAGUE GAMES.

PARDELL0 THROWS WITTMER. New York's Champion Won the Boat in Thirty-One Minute. Leo Pardello, New York's champion catch-as-catch-can wrestler, threw Charles Wlttmer. of Cincinnati, the world's champion Graeco-Roman wrestler, in a catch-as-catch-can match at the Empire last night in thirty-one minutes. The match was for one fall and was an exciting contest. Wlttmer had the advantage in weight by nearly twenty pounds, but In the style of wrestling that governed the match he was not Pardello's equal. Both men were in dangerous positions several times. During the last lew minutes Pardello worked fast, and bysecuring a double nelson forced Wittmer to the mat. Wittmer and Pardello easily broke hammer-locks and half nelson holds and body holds did not prove successful for either man. Sam Murhargt-r will try conclusions with Pardello to-night. Pardello agrees to thn.w Murbarger in twenty minutes or forfeit $50. CAPTAIN AND MANAGER. Saunderson and Fortune WH Hare Cbsrge of M. T. H. 8. Team.
