TO OPPOSE NEGROES.

INDIANA PEOPLE ORGANIZE FOR THAT PURPOSE. Statnrbcd Ovar Reported Plon to RrlnK Colored People from Sonth and Colonise Them—A Non Klopea from Omaha Convent and Weda. A philanthropic organization in New York City has announced a plan to colonise 30 families of negroes from the South in each county in Indiana and southern Michigan. In the regions named there are few negroes, and the white population are aroused over the prospect of having the race qustion brought to their doors. An organization, originating with the editor of the Chesterton, Ind., Tribune, an influential Republican, is in . process of formation to discourage the negroes, some of whom have already arrived in Forter County, the idea being to adopt a policy of non-intercourse with the blacks, refusing to employ them, sell them supplies, or rent or sell real estate to them. • NUN ELOPES AND WEDS. Mater Mary Louise of Omaha Convent Taken Away by Edward Johnaon. Edward Johnson of Omaha and Sister Mary louisc, a nun in St. Agnes’ convent, have eloped and are now man and wife. The boyhood lover of the Sister of Mercy employed strategy to get her from behind the convent walls. Seeking employment as a mechanic and errand messenger, he carefully laid his plans and succeeded. Sister Mary Louise left the convent one eveuing at the time of prayers. A note was left pinned to her cot, asking for the forgiveness of the mother superior if her running away was a sin. The sisters knew of their sister’s infatuation for Johnson and tried to prevent serious consequences by having the man arrested and held at the city Jail three days as a suspicious character. The Johnsons formerly lived at O'Connor, Neb., where Sister Mary Louise entered the convent. Johnson's father was custodian of the grounds, and It was when his son was doing work on the gardens that the acquaintance with the sister began. BASE BALL SCORES.
