Lincoln leaguers Insnlt th President Hydrophobia in Fayette Woolen Mills Borned So'diers' Rennlcn-A Car Discovered In Owen County. JEFFEKS05VILLE, Nov. 13. Special. Republicans here are disgusted with Harrison and the character of his appointments. They Lave been heating up for a lone time. This täte of things resulted last night in the hasty preparation of rfi effigy of Harrison, which, with all the campaign outfit of the league, was burned, much to the delight of republicans generally. The immediate cause of this astounding: demonstration was the reappointment of Maj. A. M. Luke, who was removed by Cleveland from the position of postmaster. A movement has been started, and is taking shape, for forming anti-Harrison clubs among the republicans, and the thin;; seems to take like wildfire. A host of prominent young republicans here end at various points in the district re swearing they will vote with the democrats rather than again support Harrison. The working republicans have for months been kicking high and unanimously against the president, but the leaders until last nicht kept their condemnation within bounds. Now, however, hardly a member of tfte party can be found to speak a good word for hira whom they eheered so lustily a year asjo. The workers have hungered and thirsted for the reward of labor, but fai.ed to get iL At the great quartermaster's depot in this city not a man active in the party has been appointed. Invariably men who were removed by Cleveland are being reinstated. Most of them have held positions for twenty years, some of them being chiedy distinguished for the whisky they consume. At New Albany the postoöce created much feeling, and the appointment of Troop of Paoli as collector, when Gen. Packard thoucht be and hi faction had a "cinch" on the place, caused a renewed outburst. AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Of Interest to Lake Owners and Other Citlsens tf Northern Indiana. LaPORTE, Nov. 14. Special. The reversal, few days ago, by the supreme court of the decision of the Laporte circuit court in the case of Jacob Stoner vs. James H. Rice, auditor of etate, is considered important, especially in the north part of the state, as it seems to reverse the famous Beaver lake ruling. The case grew out of trouble in Lincoln township about the ownership of a lake and cranberry marsh. The cranberries were claimed by Stoner for the reason that his land nearly surrounded the lake and marsh where they grew, while the people who had been accustomed to gather the berries denied his right to control the marsh, and claimed his land was meandered, and that the täte held the only titl to the lake and the marsh which was only the bed of the now partly dried-up lake. The case was decided against Stoner in the circuit court, but in the reversal of this decision by the supreme court it appears that the court now holds that when the government grants a fractional lot or subdivision bordering on a non-navigable lake, the purchaser is entitled to fill out the entire lot or subdivision, including the bed of .the lake and the water, notwithstanding the meander line; that the purchaser takes as a riparian owner; that meander lines are not boundary lines; and regardless cf the fart that the patent gives the number of acres paid for, exclusive of the lake. The etJect of this decision, as interpreted by good authority in this city, is to make all lakes in Laporte eonnty private, not public, property, M baa generally been supposed, as they all are iituate within some of the government subdivisions, the fractional parts of which were patented to individuals by the United States, and none of them are navigable in any legal Bcnse. The owners can, if they choose, treat persons hunting or fishing upon them as trespassers. Ice forming upon the lakes also becomes private property. A similar decision was made a few weeks ago in relation to land bordering upon the Kankakee river, in a case from Starke county. It waa in that case held that th river and not the meander line was the boundary, and by the river is meant the thread or center of the stream. A CAVE DISCOVERED. Another lloosler Attraction For the Tonrist Near Spencer. SPE5CEE, Nov." 13. Special. H. IT. Sturm of Indianapolis and Richard Tenckert of Spencer have discovered a cave near this city. Iast night they explored it. The entrance is a hole twenty feet deep and about three in diameter. At the bottom begins a narrow and steep passage running northeast thirty feet. At the end of this passage was a step-oil of about five feet, and immediately to the left was a chamber about eight feet in diameter, the walls rising jrradually in the form of a cote, meeting at a point overhead, thirty feet from the floor. The waili were hung with numerous stone pendants, water at the time dropping down. This was a a beautiful sight. A passage way eighteen inches wide and ten feet long led from this opening toward the northwest to another chamber similar to the first, but about sixty feet high. A passage way then brought the party into tili another room, it being a little smaller than the first. From this narrow aisle, sixty feet Jong and seven feet high, led northwest to a very small opening or man-nole, through which the reporter crawled with a lamp and found that the passage was blocked by a large quantity of sand and debris brought by the rains that pour at times down the whole cave. At the end of this last passage there led off two openings about as large as a stove pipe. Stamping on the ground brought out the fact that a chamber was at some place under this last passage. This week a bole will be drilled to find whether such a cavity exists, and also the entrance will be enlarged, making it easier of access. The fact that the water disappears downward, the upward current of air and the hollow sound above mentioned, go to prove that there ia another cavity, probably larger than any ef the rest The estimated depth of the cave from the general surface, is 150 feet. The party spent an hour and fifteen minutes underground. DKAQOED FROM HIS PULPIT. Aa Outrage Perpetrated Upon a Minister 3iar Covington. CovryGTOS, Ind., Nov. 13. Special"! Last xEfht at Brown's chapel, a country church about ten miles northeast of Covington, thirty persons, disguised with white caps and masks, faces blackened and armed with ciubs, entered theehorch, fifteen in each aisle, marched up to the pulpit and took tht preacher, tbe Rev. S. Lindsay of Danville, 111., to the wolds, about a tali icüt distant, aud gave tun choice between
leaving the country early the next morning and a terrible pounding. He decided to leave. All those in the church were warned not to leave iL A Mr. Crane present protested against such mob-like proceedings, when he was violently pushed back in his seat. When he got up again he was mruck over the head with a club. The cause of the trouble seems to be the manner of conducting meetings and of treating people with diseases with the faith cure. Investigations are going on and prosecutions will follow if the guilty ones are discovered. THE STORY OF A SKELETON.
A String or Thtnibles Assists in th Identification of a Body. Abgos, Nor. 17. Special. A . human skeleton has been unearthed here apparently that of a female fifteen to eighteen years old. Officers have succeeded in eliciting the following facts: About fifteen years since Jonathan Hubler was a resident of the little village. He bore a bad character, and it was reported conducted a house of ill-repute, debauching young girls and starting young boys on the downward path. Mrs. Barmerda, a French lady who lived next door to Habler, makes oath that she remembers a little girl who came to Hublrr's house ostensibly to work in the kitchen. The inhuman wretch soon forced her to submit to his desires, and she believes that the girl was murdered by Hubler in a tit of passion. At any rate, she mysteriously disappeared, and her absence was accounted for by Hubler saying that he sent her home to her parent-1, thus shielding himself from the consequences of his awful crime. The young gin's parents came on from Ohio, but were nualle to find any trace of her whereabouts. Hubler shortly afterward disappeared. The remains are partially identified as those of the misying girl from the fact that in life she was in the habit of playing with a string of thimbles, and the thimbles were found with the remains. The theory of the murder is farther strengthened by Hubler's strange disappearance. Four Octogenarians. Brazil, Nov. 15. Special. There are yet living and resident in Clay county four oldtiaie ex-tueaibers of the Indiana state legislature, whose ages combined figure 320 years, making the average octogenarian: Oliver Cromwell, Ashboro, aged 81, who served in the session of 1-S31, the last under the old constitution; William H.

Thomas Piercy, once a prominent manufacturer of this city, is slowly dying in a hovel or dug-out near this city. His case has been submitted to the authorities, but as yet they have failed to provide for the sick man. I'iercy's history is an interesting one. Seventeen years ago he conducted a cooper 6hop on a large scale in this city, and hd accumulated quite a competency. Suddenly his wife left him and never returned, lie brooded over her disappearance to such an extent that his mind soon gave way, and he became a harmless idiot, roving about the conntry, winter and summer, subsisting on whatever he could obtain from the people. For seventeen years he has continued this ceaseless tramping about the country. His case is a pitiful one and demands proper attention. Death of Prof. Swan. Lafayette, Nov. 12. Special.

A. K., who will labor to bring about the desired results. It was stated that with the four new hotels ample accommodation could be provided. A resolution was also adopted favoring Chicago aa the place of holding the world's fair. Another Veteran rnned By. Warsaw, Nov. 14. 'Special The announcement of the appointment of George W. Bennett as postmoster at this place is causing a terrible amount of swearing among the republicans here. Mr. Bouser, a democrat, who was removed, had nearly a year yet to serve, and has given general satisfaction. There were half a dozen republicans fighting for the position and gome of them excellent men. Ihe soldiers concentrated on Edwarl Short, a fighting republican and a badiy wounded veteran. Bennett is a chronio ofheeseeker and much the most unpopular of the crowd ; a man that no one wanted really, and B. Harrison is being heartily cursed on all tides. Meanwhile the democrats are happy. Farmers Protecting Themael ven. Fort Wayxe. Nov. 16. Special. One hundred representative farmers of Allen county met here this afternoon and took preliminary steps toward the formation of a protective association, the principal objects of which are to secure better prices for products.

A BIG CATHOLIC DEMONSTRATION. Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ireland and Father Xog-ent Talk on the Best Means of Securing Teuiperanie fcome Strong Kesalations. Baltimore, Nov. 17. A natural sequence to the position taken by the catholic congress was the mass-meeting to-night, under the auspief s of the catholic church, in favor of high license, at Harris' academy of music. It was attended by persons of all shades, of religious opinion. On the stage sat his eminence, Cardinal GibIons, Mgr. McColgan, Archbishop Elder, Bishop Virtue, Bishop Keane, the Rev. James Nugent, the Rev. James Cleary and 6ome hundred prominent citizens interested in the movement. Every seat in the house was occupied and crowds were turned away. Mr. P. Harris tendered the use of the academy free as a favor to his friend. Archbishop Ireiand. Cardinal Gibbons presided. As he came forward to speak, he received a warm greeting. Cardinal Gibbons said: "I appear before you to-night not only as a churchman, but also and chiefly as a felluw-citizen anxious for the moral welfare of my native city. Whatever contributes to the moral growth of Baltimore, whatever contributes to the happiness of the people, has my most hearty co-operation, and I firmly believe to-night that ' the noble cause which will be advocated here, if successful, will contribute, under God's blessing, to the moral welfare of our beloved city; to the welfare of the people; to the domestio happiness and tranquility ot the poorer ciasses and of the laborer. Applause. The blow that we strike to-night is a blow struck for the cause of the laboring man, and it must and shall be successful. Applause. I shall not occupy your attention, in these precious momenu, any longer. I have now, ladies and gentlemen, the honor to present to you a distinguished clergyman of England, the apostle of England, I mieht call him, tiie Rev. Father Nugent." The latter spoke as follows: Loro Cardinal, Mr Lokds,Ladies asd OestleMes Anyone that looks around this vast building must be struck by the importance of this meeting, its numbers, its respectability, and the rery circumstances that have brought you toother. You have come here to strike a di-teroiiued blow against the enemy of the whole worll. This üreat movement in America owes its character aDd its asc;re?sive onward movement to one whose character i restless and determined, his eminence, James Cardinal Gibbons. Though the ocean may separate m. catholic priests are one in 8 ntiment and in motive ss regards the social and moral improvement of oiir people, and I trut you will find that, no matter what may be the religious differences which may eparate u. In thi irreat worlc of temperauce, tLere is but one faith. For twentythree years my wort has been withiD the walls ot one of ihe largest prisons in Englaud, and during that time over 230.000 men nod women have corae under my care. Eight out Of every ten of these came there through intemperance. At home, in the old country, this vice is looked upon as a national vice. No class of oar people is free from it. It is not only within prison that its victims are to be found, but also in the highest grades of society. You are not scourged wit'i this pbg.ie as we are; but I bid you to work and show that tou have crushed slavery, your people shall not be enslaved by this vice. Intemperance undermiues a!l family life, and, let it grow-j it will bring your people to the low level of some of the o'd countries, and scourge you with pauperism, ignorance and crime. I he object of this meeting is to crush mtemperanc", and I trut you will not go awar (mm here to-night without determining to do sometbins to less-n this evil. Give up liquor yourselves and you will be an active worker to repress this traffic. Archbishop Ireland said in substance: The position of the catholic church on temperance and other social questious has been elf arly stated in the catholic lay congress held in Baltimore. Tht; corrupting influence of saloons in politico, the crime and Pauperism re-ulting from excessive drinking, require legislative restrictions, which we can aid in procuring bv joining our influence with that of th6 other enemies of intemperance. The catholic church is absolutely anl irrevocably opps d to drunkenness. and to drunkardmaking. In vain we profess to work for souls if we do not labor t j drive oat an evil which is daily beeettiug sina by the tens of thousands and peopleing hell. In vain we boast of civilization and liberty if we do not labor to exterminate intemperance. Education, the elevation of the ma'sps, liberty, all that the ag- desires, is set at naught by this dreadful evil. The individual conscience; is the firm arm in orposing it. Put the individual cnscience has t ba streng. hened and supplemented by law. The claim of saloon-keepers to freeiom in their traffic is the claim to spread disease, sin, pauperism. Friends of temperance, whatver be their several theories must be practical and aim at what is under the circumstances the lest that cau be bad. Your movement for high taxation of the traffic, with judicious supplementary c!aues as to character of venders of liquor and ioi leiture in case of violation oflaws, deserves thesurpjrt of all. Thiswill not do away with all evil; it will reduce immensely tin evil, and its best results will be where they are most needed araocg the poor and the laboring c ases. A rich man can aüord better than the laborer to spend money an 1 lose reason at the shrine of intPiuneranee. Sunday closing should be enlorced, no matter at what cost. The Sunday saloon is a blot on any city. Baltimore is watched. It has been the scene of great events. Honor yourselves. Work, vote for good laws; favor the -party that favors good temperance laws and that knows how to enforce them. The following resolutions were adopted: The catholic clergy and laity of the city of Balti more, in mass-meeting assembled under the presidency of their diocesan head, ke-'nly alive to the giirantic evils of intemperance in the use of intoxicating drinks, evils which menac thj dearest interests of religion, and thus imperil the well-being and stability of the state and society at large; justly alarmed, moreover, at the fearful havoc wrought in bo ninny of their co-relicicaists by this deadly vice, which thwarts the best efforts of the church in their behalf and renders fruitless their noblest influence; and casting about for a meaus which will, it not at once and entirely cure, at least greatly diminish the evil and thus rave the way to a complete moral restoration, b -lieve that they see this remedy in what is known as tha high license movement. If they have up to the present time been backward In unitin? in the well-meant eßortsofso many of the most distinguished aDd upright of their fellow-citizens, in this holv cause, it has arisen oertainly neither from ignorame of the magnitude cf the darker, nor from a latt of heart-felt interest in the w rk of averting it, but solely from the fear of compromising the sacred interests of truth by accepting certain positions which were sometimes found to be the concomitants of such movements. The high license movement affords them the opportunity so long desired, and they therefore hasten to range themselves alongside of their friends and neighbors in this sacred battle of humauity. 'Wherefore, It Is resolved aa the sense of this meeting: 1. That high license is at present tbeonly feasible, and on!y hopeful means of stemming the deluge of vices au'd crimes of which drunkenness id the frightful aource. 2. That to make the remedy really effective, the license should be put so bih as to make it practically prohibitory as regards the multitude of low saloons, which are demoralizing and brutalizing the poor, who, more than any other class, need the help and comforts of religion to make their hard lot endurable. 3. That not merely a h'gh licene wi'l secure all the good aimed at by the movement, but that certain restrictions should ba enacted as to the lime and place of sale, and the character of those who may be permitted to carry on the traffic. Thus, the number of saloons in any one radius should be limited by statute; they should not be suffered to be near churches or schools. The excoHent Sunday laws of our city upon this point should be rgidly enforced, and failure upon the part of the authorities to carry out the law hould be summarily punished; the license to sell at all should be issued to none but persons of tried character, who can be depended upon to use their privilege in the interests of sobriety and public order; and finally the violation ot the law in any of these points should work either temporary or perpetual forfeiture of the license, according to the number of such violations. 4. That this assembly pledge themselves to do all in the;r power to secure this desirable end, and to work for it with tongue and pen, until their efforts are crowned with success.

DEXSY AT LAST SENTENCED
PROBABLE REASON FOR THE DELAY. The Evan stille Tapers Denounce His Chargca Against Cit lentof TUat City as Ii larkmall It Hastened His Sentence Fifteen Months a n4 at Iiis 11 ne. W. E. Denny, who stole $6,000 from the Boonviile postofüce a few months ago while holding the position of assistant postmaster and gambled it away, as he claimed, at Evansville, was Wenncsday sentenced by Judge Woods. The facts of the case are too well known to necessitate repetition. A few weeks ago Denny was called before the court, or came of his own accord, and pleaded guilty to the charge against hira. For some reason unknown, except, perhaps, to the court and some of Denny's friends, sentence was suspended. Denny was a good republican and a nephew of Mayor Denny of this city, and it was at once suspected soma chicanery was to be attempted. Since his arrest in Kansas Citv and return here t'enny nas claimed that men, prominent m Evansville, drew him into gambling games and won his, or rather the government's, money. - . - .-everai umes, u is understood, he has threat ened to make it warm for these me r.vansvil.e papers, however, from th niation, have jumped on Dennv and his claims as a blackmailing schei.r quieted down for a time before Dennv pleaded : ! t i ii- . . . suuij. juuj;e uoous, n seem, toofc advantage of this to make a balk at letting him down easy. It Denny Lad been enabled to get the money to replace what he had stolen, the I aik would probably stood as the judge's action anl Denny would have been allowed to go free. But the only way Denny could have gotten the money would have been to carry to success what the Evansville papers denounced as bis blackmailing scheme. A few days ago the Evansville Journal took up the matter acain, perhaps poked up by Denny's exertions. That paper contained the following editorial: "Denny, the Boonville posu.lfice defaulter, is trying to relieve himself of blame by baying that his money was won by Evansville gamblers. A regular blackmailing scheme is being played in order to force sundry c tizens here to pay money over to his principal and sureties. While the Journal does not 6e? to justify gambling it is not willing to see this city unjustly discredited in the eyes of the world. Evansville is no better nor worse than any other city of its size. As for Denny, he was an experienced gambler. Money was won and lost by him et his own home. It is a question whether some of the men who are trying to (speculate oJf our citizens did not win money from him. He is said to have been an accomplished sportsman, who won money Iron men who were experienced players and thonht thev were proof azainst gamblers' wiles. Denny has advertised EvansviKe all over the country as a gambling center, and has posed as an innocent victim, when it appears that he sought the lair of the tiger and bat the beast at its own game. Anybody who thinks he is a persecuted individual wastes sympathy. He went out of his way to hunt the games that he liked so we:l. He won as well as lost, as every gambler does. If bis friends persist in trying to blackmail people here, and especially to prosecute them in court, they may start a whirlwind that they can not control. Denny had better let the matter drop where it is and take hispunifchment like a little man." Soon after the appearance "of this, Denny was sentenced.
