MlkeKeely, a Memphis news; boy, rev cently from St. Louis, was fatally shot by some of his companions, In Ilappy Hollow, .Tuesday nicht. Three of them Lave been arrested and committed. The total production of coal in the United States in 1S73, according to the Miner's Journal, was, anthracite, 22,828,108 tons: bitu.minous, 22,585,222 tons ; total, 45,413,3?.) tons. The increase over 1872 was 1,902, 179 tons. Dr. Jas. A. McCallion, one of the most prominent citizens of Washington county, Missouri, was accidentally shot and killed st Potasi, Wednasday, by a yountr son, through the careless handling of a pistol. The railroad passenger and ticket agtmts convention, which met at Nashville last -week, held an adjourned meeting at the Gait house Monday, and will be in session several days longer. The day was spent in arranging rates.. The Flat river flurry in Michigan is all over. It seems that no occasion existed among the lumbermen for any serious trouble and yet the sheriff of the county telegraphed the governor for aid and the . militia went, saw and came back with bloodlees laurels. , Governor Woodson, of Missouri, has sent . a message to the legislature, calling attention to the existence in that state of a band of outlaws and desperadoes, who rob and murder with Impunity. lie says that he has no adequuate power or means to bring the ruffians to justice, and asks that legislation be had at once. It is evident the governor thinks the time has come to act. The House committee on appropriations are considering the expediency of voting $200,000 for supplying subsistence to the Sioux Indians, who are now congregated at the Bed Cloud and Whetstone agencies. It seems to be in the interest of continual peace and for the preservation of white scalps, and in this view the measure will certainly recommend itself as being economic and wise. A young married man living near Wilkesbarre.Penn., sprang outjof bed rather hastily one morning when the clock struck six, and, as his feet touched the carpet, he some way lost his balance and fell, striking his bare neck upon the top of a broken chimney of a lamp which had been left standing on a 'chair near the head of the bed and severing the jugular vein. He bled to death within five minutes. , . . V. While Dr. Howard.Crosby, of New York, 'is opposing the present movement, such an "Infallible" radical as Pope Pius IX. has -written a letter to the Massachusetts Cath.olic emperance nnion, strongly encouragfing all their endeavors to urge forward the ' total absticance movement under the guidance of the church. He quotes St. Augustine 'as saying: "Drunkenness is the mother of crime, the root of vice, the wreck ol charity, the sprint? of evil, the overthrow of reason, ' the ruin of the body and a loathsome disease ' of the soul." - . A temperance advocate hints that the next crusade will be against tobacco. 'He says: The alcoholic stimulants are guilty of no 'such depredation of common decency as the tobacco babit. The money spent for it is as - absolutely sunk as that for drink.. It robs : families of support and comfort in the same - -way. Not one argument can be offered in its defene that cannot for drinking. I have little respect for the man who, with his -whole body infused with this narcotic, prays . -on a woman's crusade against drink-Belling, or cries for prohibitory laws." Mrs. General Sherman is a devout Catholic rs well as her daughters, Lizzie and Annie. Mrs. S. lives about two miles from -the, centre of the city Washington)', on I

street, but it is worth a two-mile. wa Q snow Storni, to receive the hearty warmth Of welcome with which sne greets her irienas. She stands near the door, a fat, round little body, with dark hair falling in two long curls each side her bright but homely face She has such a motherly way of holding a young girl's hand, and, after a few moments' conversation, saying: - "Now, go right into the other room where my daughters and the young people are, and you will be shown where the refreshment table is." , r m .11 AN APPALLING CRIME. A DE ATn BED CONFESSION. yirwjJonT ox the secore mcrmtr -rxxoCENT MEX HASOED C0NFES51 OV THE REAL CRIMINAL, ' . ' The Fort Wayne Sentinel reviews the history of that revolting murder and lynching which took place near there, in Mercer county, Ohio, In June, 1ST2. The horrible tale is not forgotten, as it has a parallel only In the case of Georgia Ann Lovering, rhose fiendish murderer, Evans, lately paid the penaltv of his crimeat the dictate of law and justice. Ten miles irom Celina. in Liberty township, at the time . referred to, uvea a farmer named Seiderley, who bad a large family, one of those who made up his household was his orphan niece; Mary Belle Secore. Mary was thirteen years ol sge, very handsome, and a great pet with Mr. Seiderley, and indeed, v ith all who knew her. She was possessed of an affectionate and i lovable disposition and Inclined to be very devout and pious. By reason of this latter trait in her character, she became a constant attendant upon the country Sabbath-school, located about two miles "from her nncle's residence. On Sunday morning the girl attended school as usual, and started to return home about noon. Her aunt accompanied her a part of the way, but stopped at the house of a relative, about three-quarters of a mile irom ber sister-in-law's, leaving the little girl to pursue her way alone. Finally she came to a small woods, through which the road ran, and just as she entered three men jumped from their hiding place in some bushes and seized her. One feeble cry lor help was all that escaped from her lins, but On the following Sunday, one weekaftor the crime had been committed, a party, who had been constantly searching for the missing girl, came upon the remains, which had, in te interval been partially devoured by hog. It was difficult to recognize the features of the once beautiful girl, so terribly had they been mutilated by the marks of the sharp blade of th9 knife. The sheriff at ence offered a reward of $300 for the arrest of the perpetrators of the dastardly crime. Two brothers, Jacob and Absalom Kimmel, were arrested on suspicion, and locked up in the county jail. On the next Friday, the sheriff and an assistant came to this city, and while riding along on Calhoun street, jumped out of a closed carriage at the corner of Washington, boldly seized two men, who were quietly walking along, conveyed them to the carriage, and drove rapidly ofl. These men were Alexander McLeod and Andrew Kimmel. two peddlers in the employ of A. J. Dillingham, rag and tinware dealer. They were said to have been in Celina on the day of the butchery, and were regarded as the criminals. When they were taken to Celina, however, Kimmel proved an alibi and was at once released. The general supposition, however, was that Alcieod and the two Kim mel brothers previously taken into custody were the guilty parties, and the public mind became very much excited, and the attitude of the people was decidedly threatening. The sherill, therefore, telegraphed to the governor for troops to aid him In protecting bis prisoners, but the dispatch was sent too late. Previous to that, messengers had been sent to the people of towns and villages mues aistant, inviting an to be present in Celina on Monday, the 6th of July, to witness a free tight rope matinee. The appointed time found the usually quiet village crowded to overflowing with excited masses of men. women and children. Their minds had been filled to Indignation with DETAILS OF THE TERRIBLE CRIME, and as all, or nearly all, had known and tovea poor nine Aiary ecore, they were anxious to see what they considered a just punishment. The people thronged in. They came on foot. In wagons, and on horseback. The women were dressed In their finest ap parel, as ii about to attend a holiday celebra tion, and the men brought baskets of food, as if going to an old fashioned country pic nic A corps of lynchers had been carefully picKea ana as noon mey rormea in regular oattanon oraer, ana marcnea to the jail, fol lowed by a dense mass of male and iemaie numamty. vine shenrx was easily overpowered and relieved of his keys. A moment more and the prisoners had been taken from their underground ceils, placed in a wagon, and driven on un der guard of a corps of executioners. Pre pa rations were made for the execution of McLeod and the two Kimmels, when a brother of the murdered girl interferred on behalf of Jacob, saying that he was not fully satisfied or his gum. jacoo was tneretore released, but nooses were adjusted around the necks of McLeod and Absalom Kimmel, and the loose ends or the ropes were thrown over the Slank. The committee of five, selected to conuct the execution, were then called upon to carry out their part of the program, but they grew faint-hearted and refused. At this juncture a party of Iniiauians volun teered and pulled on the ropes while the wagon was driven from under the feet of the dying men. JU3t before death Kimmfl muttered out an incoherent statement, which was taken for a confession. McLeon died hard, but scarcely a struggle marked Kim mel's tragical exit from the world. But i strange story comes from Colorado. Thomas Bradwell Douglas died a few days ago in Denver, Colorado, of consumption, for the cure of which he had sought the bracing cli mate of Colorado, but found death instead. One half-hour before his death, the man became greatly agitated, and insisted upon having the' attendance of a Catholic conies sor. The priest was summoned, and left alone to hear the secrets which the dying mau bad carried so long In his bosom. What transpired between them may be ascer tained from the following paper dictated by the sufferer to the priest, and furnished by mm to a tocai paper ior puDiication : THE CONFESSION. "In this, my dying hour, and in the full hope that by doing so I -will secure absolution from my sins, I make free and full con fession of a d?ed that has weighed upon ray mma use a death pan irom the day of its commission. Iam the guilty wretch who outraged and murdered the girl Secore, near Celina, Ohio, in the summer of 1S72. Heaven alone knows what hellish motive prompted me to co the deed, out at the time my brain v. as on fire from drink and I was veritably a maa man, past tne power to control . my actions, ine hanging or the two men McLeod and Kimmel, was as vile a murder as was ever perpetrated. I was one of the mob that executed them. I urged them on to it, for I felt it necessary to secure my own safety. I now know and feel that in acting as I did throughout this horrible affair, I committed sins of a most grievous character. I hope God will pardon me, and that the publication of this statement will relieve the families of the men, McLeod and Kimmel, from the stigma of dishonor resting upon them.) ..I feel that I have but a lew more moments to live, and with my last breath I avow the truth of all the statements herein related. Thomas Bbadwei.Ti Douglas, His X Mark. Inapostcript to this astonishing document, the priest endorses the story as having been written by himself, from the dictation of the äußerer.

THE CITY BUILDERS.

THll "BUBBLE. BLOW-OUT. FBOM THE OLD TO THE NEW. , THE "EXCHANGE" MEETING LAST NIGHT A LABOE ATTENDANCE OP MEMBEKA AXD VISITORS ADDRESSES BV OOV. HENDKICKS, PROF. COX AND OTHERS THE INTERESTS OF THE CENTRAL CITT SET FORTH. The manufacturers' and real estate exchange assembled last evening in their new room, in Brouse block, for the rlrst time. In honor of the occasion a number of gentlemen not members of the exchange were Invited to be present and deliver speeches. There was a full attendance of membership, and several ladies honored the meeting by their presence, i The whole number present, in cluding members and visitors, all told, was about one hundred and fifty, occupying the entire seating capacity ot the room. The new quarters of the exchange is in the cor ner room on the nrst noor, ana w very neatly and conveniently fitted np. At the usual hour Judge' Koache, president of the exchange, called the, meeting to order, stat ing the object of the meeting which was to celebrate the opening of their new room. Mr. De Wolf proposed to the hrm ot Adams, Mansur A Company, and the Indianapolis boot fc shoe company for membership of the exchange. , "On motion of Mr. Kappes the proposed membership was referred to a commifciee consisting oi iUfssrs. jBj'prrs, uuru and Cleveland, who reported favorably, and were discharged, the proposed members being unanimously elected. Mr. Smock offered the following: Whereas. Since the last meeting of this ex change, our city has been visited by a fire, the most destructive ana expensive ever Known in the history of Indianapolis, ny wnicn several members of thts organization, with other citizens, have suffered to a great extent, therefore belt ' .... Unsolved. That, in their eaiamnity, iney nave our earnest sympathy and henrtfeit wlhe for their success in the iuiure, wnicn snail soon wipe out all evidences of the aisastor. The resolution was unanimously adopted without discussion. Professor Cox was then called lor and came forward. Alter making a few remarks, congratulating the exchange on the prosperous condition; and referring to the decided im provement In all manner or Business m tne nitv. which In a great measure have been brought about by their well directed AfTortA. Prof. Cox proceeded to read a ramniunlcatien on the manufacture ol iron In Indianapolis bv Hugh Hartmann, of Omaha. Nebraska, but formerly of Rhenish Prussia, where ne was engagea in superintend ins mines and blast furnaces. He is an Iron-master ot marked ability and high sei ntlfl fionntrements. and his communication Is deserving of the earnest attention of alt who are enzaeed In the manufacture of Iron. The paper U given In full ai follows : A vote of thanks was unanimously tend' rd Professor Cox for his interesting aa dress, after which Governor Hendricks, one of the invited speasers was cauea ior i came forward. GOVERNOR HENDRICKS ADDRESS. The governor said: " Mr. President and gentlemen of the Exchange: except for the decided interest I feel in the cause which vou represent, I would not be here to-night. I congratulate you uDon the success and strength of your organization. I congratulate you also in having removed into this convenient ana commodious quarters, where the transaction of your business will be pleasant to yourselves and convenient to the public. I also congratulate vou upon what 1 think you have achieved in disseminating and wide the resources and business facilities of our city and state. I think I understand the purposes of your organization. Primarily it is to establish among yourselves, the manufacturers and real estate men of Indianapolis such rules and reg ulations for the transaction of your business, as will promote and establish fair business relations among youselves, so that no one of your association will be auoweu to late advantage of anyotber in your association or outside of it. Anorher purpose I suppose is to exclude from honorable membership all unworthy persona who will resort to iraud or unfair means in the trasactlonof business. If vou accomplish this you will have achieved for the city of Indianapolis a great deal. When the men all over the state of Indiana know that In coming here and mrchaslng any manufactured article n the cltv they may rely with perfecct confidence upon the state ment that may be made in re spect to the fabric yon propose to sell, or its value, or when men in the state ot Indiana or outside of the state shall come to In dianapohs for the purpose of securing homes, for the purpose of establishing a business and known that among real estate men of this city it is impossible that they shall be deceived in respect to suitable situation in respect to the value of surrounding and adioining property when this shall be established for our city, you will have done a grest deal to promote the prosperity of this growing city, I Enow an attempt has been made to ridicule what is regarded the boasting of the citizens of Indianapolis about her prospects. 1 think there is SUFFICIENT BEASON to justify a good deal of boasting. When an Individual boasts of his achievements, it is vanity, but on the part of a community, it is laudable pride; on the part of a state or nation, it is tht expression of patriotism; and so, when we have a sufficient cause to be proud of our city, it is right and proper that the whole people of Indianapolis shall express that opinion, always and every where. Why not? Since 1JW0 Indianapolis has more than quadrupled her popu latjon, and her wealth has increased seven fold. She furnishes employblent I suppose for ten men where she furnished employment lor two, twelve years ago. She furnishes a livelihood for a population that could not have subslated here ten years ago, she furnishes employment for labor at generally very remunerative prices. And is this net much to boast of? I need not-speak of the great improvements that have been made; of the elegant establishments that have been elected ior the . transaction of business. I can heartily express my rsgrets,and feel like dropping a tear of sadness over the recent disaster by fire.' Speaking thus much of the present what have we to hope in the future for this city. It is not a feeling of hope without a foundation, as. I believe that, we all entertain. Indianapolis is the center of one ot the richest, sections of country, in many respects, almost in the world. From Indianapolis to the extreme southern border oi the state,, found ..in .the county of Spencer and Posey, is a distance of 137 miles. From Indianapolis to Michigan city is a distance of 13S miles; to the Ohio line ft is 73 miles; to the Illinois line 75 miles. So that this city is almost " THE EXACT CENTER . . -; Of this great state. In every direction 1 we have elements of wealth hard lumber for your manufacturers, iron ore for the furnaces, coal lor all the business in the city lor which it is needed theso I need not dwell upon. I speak of an additional advantage, you have an advantage that must not be omitted in mentioning i 'ie advantages of the city of Indianapolis. You have a reliable market foralltitaetocome. Everything that Indianapolis can prodnce, has a sure market within , a near approach, because on every side of Indianapolis is surrounded by the very best agricultural land. . The rural population ol Indiana is yet . to be amoDg

1 """8 psopieoi mis county. because there is no better land mt.h.,1 than on -every , aide of Indiaaapo. lis. tso that v vou have the ranee of a good - market : for 1 ail that you can produce, and say to youi bnt'ier manufacturer In the Eastern states. you can safely locate here. You do not have to go to distant lands lor a market of vour articles ot manufacture. There has not been added to the value of the product a very large cost of transportation. It Is hard to estimate the great advantage of this CONVENIENT HOME MARKET for your productions. In speaking of the influences that have promoted the growth of this city it is proper that I should reter to the press of the city a press that is distin guished, I think, for its enterprise, its talent and for its devotion to the interest of this city and state. While I say this much, I ex press my own convictions, i suppose that there are none of us - that have failed to ' observe the ' vast amount of in formation that goes out every day from In dianapolis, in the dailies, and every week in the weeklies that are published in this city. It Is like a book'published every day and distributed throughout the city and surrounding country, it is impossible to estimate the amount of information that is communicated from the printing presses ol this city. 'There is but one criticism I desire to make upon the press ot the city, and I make that because I think the fault is hurtful to our city. . I concede the right of the press to thorough criticism of all acts of public officers, but at the same time it is a misfortune of criticisms he indulged in that are not justified by the facts. I suppose that it has been observed byevery one of you that there is a very great readiness, to say the least of it, to find fault witb our cify management in the papers of our city. We see Charge made upon our city council and upon the oilloers in our city government. If these charges were ex pressed to our own citizens of course they would not do much hurt. But it must be borne in mind that these newspapers go out in every direction and that they are scattered and are read by the thousands of the people ot our own state and distant states, ani form the opinion, not only ot the people of our state, but distant localities in respect to the government of the city of Indianapolis. If the charges have solid toindation, they ought to be made, for any man that holds public office ought to hold himself answerable for every charge that is juttly made. But I say, in respect to the city, it is mostunfortunate that such charges shauld be made. Now, if you would take the press of the city Irom day to day, and read it, -you would think we are a tery unfortunate people in respect to the cily government, you would take it that our city council is made up of men ot very doubtful integrity in some, and more. doubtful intelligence in others. I do not think that is so. The investigations in the past have not carried conviction to sustain the charges that have been made. If a man stall cany into a city council, or Into any legislative body whatever, niS PERSONAL SCHEMES or prejudices, make them paramount to the piblic good, he ought to be lashed until he is driven from the public service. (Applause.) But on the other band, it is very Important that a people who are legislated lor by a city council, or state legislature, should not only have honest men as legislators, but that the people should believe tiem to be honest. Now. what is the et fct of publishing from day to day that our city, is governed by rings combinations, speculators and all that? When a man in a distant part of the country sees that this is the character of our city government is be likely to come around us? t horn or you business men to-day would buy a home in the state of Louisiana or New Orleans for your sonor yourself? Not one of you, because you are impressed with the conviction that- that part of the country is governed with corruption and fraud. It would be the same with any one fudging of Indianapolis, if they should think that the city council could be bought with a penny under malign influences. If i was in my heart to believe it to be so then I would say to the newspapers drive very body who has anything to do with the corruption out If possible. If it is not so it is unfortunate that charges should be made. Let me give an illustration. Three years ago congress provided by law for the holding ot a grand celebration in the city of 1'hlla delphia, of the hundredth anniversary of our . independence. That anniversary is to be celebrated by the collection together in the city of Philadelphia of specimens of the productions irom our lands and mines, and other countries are invited to bring specimens of their productions tor comparison with ours. It is proEosedto make it a national exposition. I now of nothing so interesting. A hundred years ago the declaration of independence was signed. It was declared that man was capable of governing himself. The first bugle of liberty on this American conti tinent was sounded at Philadelphia a hundred years ago, and it is the purpose to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of that event, by bringing together specimens of the productions of this country which shall show what a free government can do for an enterprise. My heart went toward the enterprise at once. I want it to be the greatest celebration that there bas ever been. This was to be a celebration by national authority. When I came into the office which I hold, I found 1 SOME DISSATISFACTION ' ' In respect to the mode in which Indiana was to be represented, and It was whispered around that no state, and In particular, Indiana, was to be represented lu the centennial commission a citizen of the state, bat by a ticket agent of some central railroad. I addressed myself to the president of the United States at once that so far a Indiana was concerned, she was not to be represented by a citizen of the state, and. Geneialr tat responded favorable to my recommendation, and appointed a man of the agricultural class to hold that office. It went on, and here recently it has been published all over the country that a fraudulent combination has been favored la the city of Philadelphia. And now instead of finding , cordiality for this great enterprise at tue heart of the nation 1 find that everybody Is falling back erned by the strictest rules of right and Integrity. (Applause.) Let it be felt that 1 the manufacturers and real estate ex change have refused to admit a man to their association it Is Decausd that man is no qualified to associate with honest dealers, and then yon will soon create the Impression all over this country that business is upon an elevated and honorable standard - in your city. I look to Indianapolis to have a population at tbe end of the next ten years at least a hundred thousand, a population doing! business on a substatinal and reliable basis, the panlcbas produced less real insolvency In this city than in any other doing the same amount of buslnesxsa. Everything i favorable and I anticipate for this the greatest growth in the future, and a permanent business eqaal, if not superior to any Inland city in the United täte.

He tnought that It was nothing more than fair that It should be known the credit of the development of the Diana block coal belonged to this city, to the Indianapolis rolling mill company, which he formerly 'controlled. Tne first block cral ever beard of for the manufacture of iron, was used, in the furnrces of this company. Ills attention bad first been called to this coal - by Mr. K. J. Peck.

It was denied that Cleveland had used and developed the Indiana block coal. ' j Mr. Green, of Jacksonville, Illinois, made a lew remarks, in the course ot which he asserted his Intention of locating here, which was received with applause. General Wildman being present was called jinon for a speech, lie said he . wa3 very much pleased that there was such an organl; zation In the city as the exchange, that while they were developing the resources and interest of Indianapolis they rere developing the resources and interests of the state. He then spoke of tbe many natural advantages which the state possesses, and of their rapid development In the past. F. C Johnson and R.

He said mat ne haa even gone so far as to tend one of these letters to Frederick Krupp, of Essel, Germany, (laughter.) Mr. I.D. Sowerbv followed in a brief speech, in which he Jauded the enterprise and purpose of the exchange. air. Downey ollered the following resolution, which was adopted: j Resolved, That this exehange neartlly indorses the action of the lower Hoiue of conerf.. look ing to the expansion of the currency, and also the stand taken in favor of free bankinz under the national banking law. , Boeltz, the brother-in-law of young Stilzemrlede lately murdered in Southern Illin ois, is now in jail awaiting a preliminary trial. He came to this country six years ago, is thirty-five years old, small of stature. seemed to be very religious. When asked how he felt he said, "my heart is all right." Over two thousand dollars has been already offered for the arrest and conviction of the murderer or murderers. A convention is being held at Rock Island to urge the project ot a huge canal from Hennepin to the former place. Its estimated cost is 4,000,000, and the convention is trying to get congress to take the little iob in hand, and the importance of the work, as a means of cheap transportation, is -regarded as out-weighing all present economic con siderations. : JJBW ADVBRTIS5MBNT8 NEW YORK DAY-BOOK, ; A Democratic Weekly.
