The Congregational church excursion to Indian Springs did not go yesterday, as arranged. The special train of five coaches and 200 persons got as far as Poplar street, where it was stopped. The heayytrains had washed away the track in places and the wires were down, se it was not deemed advisable to proceed.

Norton, a colored man and barber, says that recently he got on a car at Seventh street to ride to Fourteenth street and paid his fare^ but,that at Eleventh street the condudlor forcibly put him* off, claiming that he had not paid his fare.

Suit has been instituted in tbe«glrcult court against the Masonic Life Association of Indianapolis, by Bertha Moencb, who alleges that her husband, the late Adolph Moench, had insured his with the defen«taq|in the sum of §2,0! ath the eogxij declines to pay th& polioy, wherewre, al^ claitas $2,600, Moench, it will be re^etetftod rJtfthe man who died in jail &s itflJune, where he had beenjpWKffy friends for safe keeping. wTKestreet railway crossing at Sixth and Cherry streets is so high that teams have trouble in crossing it. Although right under the eaves of the Congregational and Baptist sanctuaries, the teamsters indulge in much profanity at that particular point. This may be none of the street commissioner's business, but his attention has frequently of late been called to cases of neglect on his part without any heed belug paid to it. Take for example the Fourth street gutter, south of Ohio street It has been green, not with envy, but with filth, for several days.

The buildings and machinery of the New Pittsburg Coal Company were almost totally destroyed by fire last Saturday at Alum Cave, about twelve miles south of the city. The loss is about $100,* 000, and the insurance two*thirds of that styn. The machinery was of the improved order, and was very fine. The stock is owned in Chicago, but Riddle, Hamilton A Co., of this city, carried $12,000 of the insurance. There had been a strike at the mine for a week, and the fire is supposed to have been incendiary. It will be several monthfi before it can be put in running order again.

The latest advice concerning C. E. Vandever said that he wa*s stilt alive last Tuesday. Thus

far

no one has been able

to gain any definite information or particulars, although several have been asked for it Last Saturday night a telegram merely stated that he was very low aud not expected to recover. Another one Sunday stated that he was suffering from pneumonia and brain fever. A letter received at this office Wednesday states that he "is now dangerously ill from malarial fever with cerebral complications the latter caused by sunstroke." Another letter makes a statement differing from all these and it seems to be an impossibility to get bottom facts* although every effort has been made to do so.

The following were the transfers during the last six days:

3 Y.P.S.C.Z. The local union of the Young People's So^iaiy of Christian Endeavor held its quarterly meeting in the Centr&l Presbyterian church last Monday night. Reports were heard from the Minneapolis convention, and among the business transacted was the adoption of the following preamole and resolutions:

Whereas, In view of the serious injury that is ilkely to befall the Christian endeavor movement In this state through tbe organization of Independent denominational societies, and in recognition ot the gOod work individual endeavor societies can accomplish by opposing such movements in their own cnurches,

Be it resolved, That the local union of Christian endeavor societies extends to tbe society of the Christian church hearty con. gratufatlons and thanks for Its recent unanimous vote against the introduction of a denominational state organization among the people of the church. esJao resolved, That we as young peoin advancing Christ's work,

young people of the church Be It alsio pie engaged while doing all in our power for our own re spective churches, believe we can accomplish much work by an inter-deuominatlonal organization that could not be accomplished in independent denominational societies. Therefore, while avowing our loyalty to our respective pastors and chu robes, wo still pledge ourselves devoted to the Christian Endeavor society In its principles and its plan of work.

The society contemplated by the Cjhnstlan church is not an independentlor^a^izatiqn .confined to that 4e|gsM|ttaJiipn, Jaiit iMher a state union of alrt^fcnri|j tilth Endeavor societies belonging to that denomination. The locaWapcloty has voted unanimously against sncli a movement, believing that it might be coliistrued as in opposition to the Bociety^ and that it might eventually work that W.
