SOME GREAT EVENTS.

Transpiring at the Columbian Exposition Daily. Tb* New Liberty Bell Proclaims Frew* dom for All —Religions Leaders in Congress Btate Celebrations. [Special Chicago Correspondence. 1

Several of the greater events are often crowded into one day. For instance, last Saturday, September 9, the Grand Army of the Republic held a grand * meeting in the fair grounds at the same time the Californians were holding high carnival at their state building. Another momentous event occurred on the same day, namely, the dedication of the new Liberty bell, which had just arrived from its birthplace at Troy, N. Y., where it was made to the order of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The grand army men and the Californians took an active part in the dedication of the Dew bell and the three events were combined, making of the day one of the most memorable periods of the world’s fair season. ' v The bell is one of the finest castings ever made. Not a flaw is in the metal. It is composed curious compound of precious and base metals. More than ten thousand dollars’ worth of old gold and silver ornaments, coins and jewelry were contributed by the patriotic members of the order. An old cent which was worth one hundred dollars from its historical association was contributed. The tone is very sweet because of the quality of the casting and the metal. It weighs six and a half tons —thirteen thousand

pounds. Although it is one of the largest bells of the world, it does hot ■approach in size that of the enormous bell at Moscow, which weighs twentyfive thousand pounds. The bell is six feet high and eight feet in circumference at the mouth. It has a bright luster of a brassy nature. There are three inscriptions on it, one at the top ridge, another in the center and one at the lower edge. The upper one reads: “Glory to God in the highest; on earth good will toward men.” The central inscription is; “A new command I give unto ye, that ye love one another.” The lower is: “Proclaim liberty throughout the land and unto the inhabitants thereof.” This Columbian liberty and peace bell is attracting world-wide notice, and it is indeed a worthy successor of the old elarion of independence; but it is not nor never will be regarded with the same reverence that is lavished on the decrepit veteran that rung defiance to the forces of Great Britain, when this great nation was bnt a puny commonwealth taking its first lessons in' self-government on the shores of the Atlantic. The dedication ceremonies of the now bell were very impressive and inspiring, many noted people taking part and delivering eloquent addresses. The bell is suspended from a huge framework immediately in front of the eastern entrance of the Administration building, from which proud position its tone* go ringing through the grand Court of Honor and out upon the blue waters of old Lake Michigan. At the present writing there is in session at the fair the greatest assemblage of religious leaders the world has ever seen, representative exponents of every religious creed under the sun. This meeting is certainly a most extraordinary affair, and it is undoubtedly of great import among the religions of the world. During the sessions of this most remarkable congress the different leaders of moral and religious teachings ventilate their respective views and compare notes on the means of bringing the people of all lands to a higher state of morality and intellectuality. To behold the fraternization of teachers of men so widely divergent in their tenets and views is in truth a marvel for the age to contemplate with the most earnest commendation. The celebration* among the various

i S the Col umbian fair draws nearer to its close the fun l grows fast and ' furious. That is to \ say the bustle and f excitement grows apace. Day in and day out the great programme of events is carried out, and so numer-, ous and varied are its features that

state buildings are still attracting Immense crowds. During the last few> days New York, Kansas and Maryland as well as California have kept open house to the world, and in each instance the affair has been a great success. The state of Indiana has fixed upon September 27 as Indiana day at the fair, on which occasion the Hoosiers will doubtless create a big splurge. The big cows and horses have about had their day at the fair, and they are j to be followed by the smaller stock an- I imals in their turn. The live stock j show has been an unqualified success thus far, and the management is to be congratulated upon the eminently sat- j isfactory manner in which it has ' conducted the very difficult and oner- j ous affair throughout. Hundreds of ! prizes have been awarded in the vari- j ous classes and the whole thing has I been without any jarring or ill feeling that was apparent

PEOPLE WHO EAT.

Outdoor Dinner Parties Popular Among World’s Fair Visitors. ' Dining in the open air is one of the enjoyments of the fair. Never before has anyone seen so many people eating in open nooks and corners as may be seen almost any day, except Sunday, at the great exposition. The weather just uow is peculiarly agreeable for this sort of gastronomic entertainment There is usually a cool, refreshing breeze from the lake which seelhs to act on the system as a tonic and “appetizer,” like a cocktail or a glass of sherry before dinner. The visitors who brifag their lunches are legion, and they seem to be eating at all hours and in every imaginable spot whore seats can be found. They are nearly always in family groups, oblivious to their surroundings, and fully bent or. taking solid comfort They carry their lunch, as a rule, in boxes or cheap wooden baskets, which can be discarded when the contents have been swallowed. The live stock pavilion, with its great amphitheater of shady seats, now that it is not occupied, furnishes a most desirable lunching spot for visitors from the country. Over along the lake shore, wherever benches or boxes are foufad to sit upon, many lunch parties are always to be seen. The terraces at the

tops of buildings, the porches and veran das of state buildings, the shady corners under the peristyle, and above all the green spots on the wooded island, offer special attractions to the picnic parties. The scenes at these places between twelve and two o’clock are most diverting and sometimes quite amusing. The impromptu tables are filled with all sorts and conditions of people. A party of four, two pretty women and a couple of men insummer attire, will be seen next to a group of students in queer costume with flowing cravats. Near by a couple who have no time to observe their surroundings will be busily engaged with each other. But most of those who are eating engage in animated conversation about the marvels of the fair all around them, making gestures, pointing out certain buildings which they want to inspect more completely, and sometimes laughing aloud at a witticism offered by some vivacious member of the party.—Chicago inter Ocean.

Quite Likely.

“Did I understand ye to read that there was up’ards o’ two hundred an’ forty thousand folks at that Chicago show in one day, Ezry?” inquired Uncle Tobias Slocum of his son. “Them was the Aggers!” responded Ezra, solemnly. “An’ there wa’n’t no crowd, even then?” asked Uncle Tobias, after a pause. “No crowd anywhere,” said Ezra. There was a long silence, broken only by the fluttering of the newspaper in Ezra’s hand, as the breeze blew in at the window. "Well,” said Uncle Tobias, at last, drawing a long breath, “I 'ain’t prepared to doubt the papers, an’ I know they’ve got a powerful lot of land set apart fer that show, but it does appear to me that if I’d ben on hand along with them two hundred and forty thousand folks, 1 sh’d have calculated that there’d be here an’ there a man!”— Youth’s Companion. “Wasn’t it awful about Helen swallowing her new engagement-ring?” “Ohl no. It wasn’t half so hard to swallow as the stories Tom told her about his wealth.”—lnter Ocean. “Mt hair,” murmured Van Arndt sadly, as he strove carefully to conceal the bald spot on his head, “remind* me of • fool and U* money.”—Puck.

INDIANA STATE NEWS.

Reksk Greeson, a young farmer near Centerton, Morgan county, committed suicide by cutting his wind pipe. He was despondent over debts. He left a family. The Newcastle health board quarantined that city against Muncie, prohibiting the landing of passengers from trains from the smallpox-infected gas town. Orders were also issued for all school children to be vaccinated. Burglars ransacked the stores of C. C. Clark & Co. and Walter Johnson and the post office of Monrovia. They succeeded in carting off several hundred dollars’ worth of goods. Word from Kingwood is that the White caps have burned the home of the Lamberts, whose son killed Samuel Hannah, as the outcome of a family feud, and the Lamberts have left the neighborhood. T. B. Ryan, of Rolling Prairie, Lajjorte county, has just returned from New York a sadder but wiser man. Ryan, who is a prosperous farmer, re« ceived several green goods circulars, and, becoming interested in the scheme, made the trip to New York, met the sharpers by appointment and parted with his aIL He invested S2OO in the project The case of Perry Gilbert came up for trial in the circuit court at Bedford the other day, but the jury failed to agree and was discharged. The judge fixed Gilbert’s bond at 12,000 to appear at the next term. He is charged with killing Granville Cook at Mitchell during the fall of 1888, and he was captured at Ottawa, 111., a few months ago. Gilbert comes from a good family, but commenced to drink of recent years, hence the trouble. In the circuit court at Columbus Adam Keller, a capitalist, filed a flO,000 suit against Miller & Wichman, implement dealers, alleging that Miller has been guilty of forgery. The anti-Catholic organizations in Indiana have been so active of late that they have brought many people to believe that there is danger of ft Catholic movement to secure control of the state government. Gov. Matthews, who was petitioned to suppress the anticipated resolution, has written a letter silencing the absurd reports. Got. Matthews, the other day, paroled Martin Moran, an Indianapolis saloon-keeper, who was sentenced a year ago to two vears for shooting Tom Kane. The latter never fully recovered. Wm. Lee, of Vigo county, convicted in 1887 and sent up for thirteen years for horse-stealing, was also paroled. A novel feature of an election for ditch commissioner held in Jasper eounty recently, was the exercise of the right of franchise by fifty members of the gentler sex. This is the first instance on in Northern Indiana that woman’s suffrage has been practically demonstrated. Frank Stephens died of small-pox at Muncie, the other day, making the third death out of about seventy cases. There have been no new cases for three days, nnd the situation is much brighter. The attempt of other towns to quarantine Muncie people by ignoring health officers’ certificates was a failure. No Muncie people can leave the city without proper credentials, and the state says they go. Another sensational incident was added to the state normal school imbroglio a few days ago,when announcement was made that the trustees had dropped Prof. W. B. Woods, who holds the chair of grammar and composition. Prof. Woods is one of the members of the faculty, being a member of it for twelve years, and his removal has caused a great stir, especially as the correspondence between Prof. Woods and President Parsons, which, published the other day, shows that he was removed because of his alleged sympathy with the deposed Prof. Tompkins and the disaffected students. Red O’Brien and Florence Wilkins, of Burlington, la., two of the five alleged safe-blowers arrested at Terre Haute, were discharged, the prosecution deciding that there was insufficient evidence to warrant conviction. Frank Bruce, the notorious leader of the gang, got a 9-year-sentence Bruce’s wife, Lottie Bruce, and John-Henry remained to be tried. Lottie Bruce’s trial is set for September 25. The Indiana M. E. church conference, in session in New Albany, the other day adopted a resolution protesting against the execution of the Geary law.

Charles Blackburn, aged 18, accidentally shot himself in the calf of the leg while out banting v\ ship, near Vincennes. He died from the effects of his injuries. He bled to death. News has reached Peru of a disastrous conflagration that occurred three miles west of there. "The laqge stock barn of Henry Tiefel, dairyman, was struck by lightning and set on fire. The flames quickly spread, and its contents, which consisted of twelve head of fine horses and ten tons of hay, were consumed. The loss is estimated at over $6,000, partially covered by insurance.

John Eisele, of Lafayette, kicked by a horse and fatally injured, just before his death told Ms family where his money could be found. It was in a tin box hidden in the hay loft and arr»unted to over S6OO in S2O gold pieces which he had drawn out of a bank during the money scare. The American Wire Nail works, Anderson, has taken a stand against united labor and will operate as a nonunion concern. Silas Bigler, a well-known huckster of the west end of New Albany, was killed seven miles out'the Paoll pike. He was driving to the city when the wagon, in the dark, struck a pile of macadam stone, upsetting the wagon and killing Bigler. While Mrs. Joseph Graham, of near Wheeler, was taking her husband’s dinner to him in the field she left her baby in the cradle. The house caught fir* and the baby burned to death. Another child wta frightfully injured.

IN A BLAZING THEATER.

Fir* Breaks Out ia the Canton (III.) Opera House During a Performance—One Maa Missing—Many Persona Injured. Canton, IIL, Sept 20.— The new opera house at this place was burned to the ground Tuesday night during the progress of a play and eighteen persons were burned, some of them fatally. No one is known to have been killed outright but one man, Peter Curly, is missing and is thought to have perished in the flames. The estimated money loss is *IOO,OOO. The list of injured is: Pat Keenan, Pierri Morganson, Wilbur Dobbins, Elmer Martin, John Thomas, John Peckard, James Heck, John Belt, W. C. Walgamot, Dan Wills, Philander Downing, RUey Miller, Erneet McVan, Lawrence So ward, Martin Moran, Fred Walsh, Arthur Stevens, John Brady.

The Baldwin-Melville company was playing “Michael Strogoff.” During the battle scene in the third act the fireworks exploded, setting fire to the scenery. Instantly the audience was in an uproar, but the manager hastened to the front of the stage and urged every one to remain in his seat, saying there was no danger. This checked the panic for a moment, and it was this short delay in clearing the house that came near causing terrible loss of lifeIn less than a minute after the curtain dropped a sheet of flames burst from the stage, rolled along the ceiling of the gallery and enveloped those in that part of the house who had not yet escaped. Many of those in the gallery jumped to the balcony below, crushing and bruising tliemseves and those upon whom they fell. Their cries of pain could be heard for blocks. As quickly as possible those who were unable to walk were carried into the various drug stores about the public square on which the opera houße was situated and physicians were summoned. It is believed there are bodies in the ruins, but only one person, a tailor named Peter Curry, who is known to have been in the gallery, is not yet accounted for. There were, however, a number of strangers in the house. In less time than it takes to tell it the opera house was a mass of flames. The firemen were helpless to stay their progress and in less than twenty minutes the roof fell in. The flames spread to the opera house block, completely destroying it For two hours the firemen worked before they had the fire under control. • The third story of the opera house block was occupied by the masonic lodge. Only the records were saved. The second story was occupied by the offices of the Canton Masonic Mutual Insurance company, Dr. Whiting, dentist, and G. R. Cobleigh as living rooms. But little was saved from this story. The first floor was occupied by Woods & Wonderly, dry goods, and Schradzki & Sklarek, clothiers. The greater portion of these stocks were removed into the street. The loss on the ogera house block and the goods will amount to *IOO,OOO. The Bald win-Ms l*ille Company lost everything, the members escaping with only the costumes they had on. Walter 8. Baldwin, the manager, lost 12,000 in cash, which was left in one of his coat pockets on the stage. Some of the members of the company escaped from under the stage by forcing off the heavy wire grating. None of them were seriously injured.

London, Sept. 20. An important dispatch is said to have been received in this city from Rio de Janeiro. The dispatch says that Santos is expected every hour to declare itself in favor of the insurgents.

lowed by the restoration of the monarchy. Provisions at Rio are becoming very scarce and the highest prioes are charged for all the necessaries of life. This is causing / much suffering among the poorer class of the population. On the other hand, several ships loaded with cattle are announced to be leaving La Plata for the u§e of the insurgents. The latter, it is claimed, have sent to the squadron ot the south instructions to demand the surrender of Santos, and in ease of the refusal of the garrison to submit the city is to be shelled.

Sir Alexander Galt Dead.

Montreal, Can., Sept *o.—Sir Alexander Galt retired Canadian statesman, died at 3:30 a. m. Tuesday. Sir Alexander held different cabinet portfolios before and after the confederation, and was Canada’s high commissioner in England for a period.

FREAKS OF NATURE.

Db. J. C. Bivings, of Dalton, Ga., has a cat which in some respects resembles a kangaroo. The fore feet are much shorter than the hind ones, and it scurries over the ground just like the Australian animal. A bewitched apple, with a blood-red drop inside, grows on several trees in Norwich, Conn. It is caUed the “Mike apple,” after a farmer named Micah, who crier two hundred years ago was supposed tahave killed a peddler and buried ths body under one of hi* apple trees.
