Ucb »U, of Lafayette, to preside during the remainder of the conference. The Rev. President was the first speaker. His subject was a plain and forcible statement of fac regarding the condition of the church in this diocese ot Indiana. His statemer twas remarkably favorable, but

AI ti.ii,k he is rather an optimist. The Rev. Mr. Harrington, of Crawfordsville, followed in an earnest appeal for church extension, and stated the claims of the church to be heard and followed.

Mr. George D. Engle, a layman from Indianapolis, made a stirring appeal to his order, exciting them to gteater zeal for Christ and the church. He was followed bv the Hon. Win, Mack, in a short and pertinent speech.

A Strougr Board of Diroctors.

i&fvi I,. f». ii.e- I 'I From the Amc-rlcaa £xchaage. I The Jones Bonanza ^lining Company has taken its place:on this market under very favorable auspices. All information points to the great value of iu property as a regular and enduring producer, and the personnel of its management gives every assurance: of honest and capable administration.

The following extracts from a tepcrt on the mine by Captain E. B. Wiider, M. E., indicates the character of the property. He sa^b: "I find the mine to be on the same silver-bearing mineral belt as the Ontario, Chance, Banner and othe mines,-which belt is readily traced from the Big and Little Cottonwood mining districts to the Blue Ledge and Uintah districts, in which latter are tfie above named mines. By estimate above the 120-foot level I find that there are about 28,800 cubic feet of (untouched or still standing) ore assuming sixteen cubic feet one ion, gives us 1,800 ton.*, which, at $60 per ton, is equivalent to $108,000. From this estimate I have taken, or tieducted, 40 per cent, (to simply guard against an over-estimate), at which deduction we have then $64800 worth of ore. From the result of twenty-six assays, the average of which ^s $71,16 per ton, the above estimate can be considered a perfectly safe one. .It is well known from actual experience that silver ores assaying but $40 per ton pay handsome profits, and if a profit if made from such ore, the average that I have assumed (below the real average) viz: $60 per ton, will increase, largely, such profits. It appears that the woik done upon the property has been entirely with a view to its development, and that no pains have been taken to prepare it for the inspection of experts, as it is evident that the owners could have easily left it looking much better had they wished to do so. I conclude that the developments fully demonstrate that. the vein is.., a permanent a.id is: true Insure^ that the mint- is already proved to be very valuable, and thatif provision- be made for an adequate working capital and a systematic plan for working be adopted, large dividends may be expected Jfrom it in a reasonably short time, say when the shaft shall have been sunk 200 feet deeper and levels run on the course of the vein below its present depth. It is highly probable, however, that if the various levels and other workings now partiaily opened were extended further that very important developments would be made above the 2oo-foot level, as but a email portion of the vein has been prospected as jet. The fact that the fissure is of such remarkable strength and regularity, and that its ores assay so well, give* strong assurance that it con tains extensive bodies Jof. rich. ore. have no hesitation in saying that I regard this property as being more valuable anu more promising than was the now famous .Ontario when no more fully developed than the Jones Mine is at present."

Under date of June 16, 1879, Mr. H. Van Praag, of the Empire Mining Company of Utah, writes: "About a week ago I was up to the Bonanza Mine, in the park, and gave it a thorough examination—that is to sty, on the surface the engine not being in running shape, and I being pressed for time, could not examine the underground workings. From what I saw, I must c.nfes&it in an A 1 property, the finest and best opened up (as to surface) of any vein I

evtr

examined." Ptfofeisor

J. S. Newberry, 6f the Columbia College School of Mines, concurs (n thes-e reports.

As soon as the present: company took possession, work on the mine was resumed in a vigorous and Systematic way In a published report tne managers say: "A new shaft,.double compartment, of sufficient capacity to work the mine,. to the depth of11,000 feet, is now. going down. and it is confidently expected, to reach a- deptbOf 400 feet at a date not later than December 1, 1879. From ttvs point levels will be run. tin the meantime the levels on the present.shift win be extended! as touch as possible. Should the vein on the 400 foot level be found as rich and strong as now on the 200 foot level (which we confidently .xpect),it would b? safe to say that, at 'least $1,000,000 of ore woul^i be sexseil.". vT

It may Be' added that the weekly reports ut the superintendent confirm all the expectations of the experts,-and show that the mine is becoming more prolific with each stage of development. The management feel confident, that for the year 1880 the Jones Bonanza will make a record rivalling that of the Ontario. In regard to the management of the mine it may be stated that the largest owners are practical business men Well known for conservatismand success in different lines of activity^. The president is' Mr. Josephus Collett, of Terre Haute, Ind., who is also president of the Evansvilie, Terre Haute &. Chicago railroad. He visited the mine recently and endorses it very strongly. The vice-president is Mr". James Fradcis, of Ttask A Francis, The secretary.&nd treasurer is Mr. J. Gapen, formerly .of the Indiana State agency in the payment of ioiferest on the State "debt, and who is also well known on Wall-st in connection with important tru&tst. Associated with tbeth in the direcfory are Messrs. E. L. Corning of No. 34 Wall-street George F.Stone formerly of the firm of Trask & Stone Charles E. Hosfbrd and James C.' McGregor, of Terre Haute, and James McGregor, Salt Lake City, who is superintendent of the mine.

THE list of committee's for the G. A. R. ball on Oct 2nd is composed of such names as will insure its being conducted in good style or io make it a great succeas.

The whole city is 6tiil laughing ever an affair of jesterday in which Mr. ?»ul joies ard S. D.Terry were implicated. Mr. Jones had lost from his desk private let'er which some eaves-drop pine i-neak had taken from the envelop? handed, with a statement «»f what wa* in it,to T«rry The essence of this H»ivate correspondence Terry saw fit to publish atter having gloated over ttie contents, not seeing the bomeraag ffect me feeble print be attempted to make would have on: himself with all gentlemen who despise the littleness of reading other people's letters. Mr. Jones naturally sought an explanation, and first met Terry on Fourth street. He asked him if he thought it gentlemanly to steal and publish a private letter. Terry attemoted to explain, by sayiag that he did not steal the letter himself, but that it had been brought to him by some one who got it or saw it drop from Mr. Jones' desk. Mr. Jones, after vigorously expressing his opinion of the meanness of taking a letter under such circumstances concluded by saying, in substance, that he didn't hold Terry responsible for anything he did because he was owned and controlled by Shannon, and added that he [TerryJ ought

FILED A COMPLAINT FOR PROVOKE. The trial was very funny. Mr. Jones admitted all he had said about the collar, ani still thinks the description accurate. Judge Denehie, before upon whom the case was finally tried, after change of venue from Judge Schormehl, said he thought the language was not as might hurt the feelings of a sensitivg.man, ar.d fined Mr. Jones a dollar.

FOLEY VS. DUENWEG The Gazette made a premature state ment a few days ago, that a ccmpiaini had been filed in quo warranto by James P. Folay Vs. Hugo Duenweg. The complaint was not filed until to-day, and. js entitled, "the State of Indiana on the. relation of James P. Foley vs. Hugo Duenweg: Information in the nature of quo warranto." Carlton & Lamb, Allen, Mack.& Davis, Dunninigan and Stimson, Davie Si Davis, & McNutt are the attorneys for the plaintiff, (or relator.)

It seams thti there is no statute to contest an election for a city office and the only way Ijo test the'question of the legality of such an election is by a quo WARRANTO, and could not be brought until Duefiweg entered on the duties of the office, which was September 1st.

The complaint is quite long and his been prepared with great care. It charges substantially that Foley received the highest number of legfcl votes—that many of the votes cast and counted for Duenweg were illegal and cast by minors and persons who were not residents of the city, and that the inspectors and judges, by mistake made a miscount of the votes—that a true count elects Foley. The prayer of the complaint is that Duenweg be ousted from the office, that Foley be adjudged to have been lawfully elected that the'te be a re-count of the votas under the direction of the court and for $10,000 damages in favor of Foley vs, Duenweg.

MACON, MO., Sept. 122.—This little city was horrified this morning at the repert that John Rans, an employe of the wagon factory, had killed his wife and then committed suicide by blowing his brains out. Your correspondent hastened to the spot and found the report only too true, for on the bed lay the wife and a little babe stark and cold, while from an ugly black wound in the forehead of the wife was oozing a horrible stream of blood and brains. The wife lay in a sleeping posture on her left side with her face partially buried in the pillow. She never knew what killed her, as the position seemed to indicate that she was arleep at the time her husband aimed the fatal shot.

Not three feet away lay the little corpse of Johnnie Rans, a little babe 11 months old, smothered under the dying and dead body of its mother. On the ottwr.side of the room, but not further than four feet from the corpse of the wife, lay the body of the su cide, John Ran^. He was lying across the bed, with his feet upon the floor, and his Head lay weltering in an ur.oiglitly m&ss of bipod and brains, which had covered theside of the bed, dropped to the floor, congealing itself. The body lay on its back, with his hands lying on his hips. Near his right hand lay the instrument of death, a, common revolver, with two spent cartridges in it.

It was supposed that poverty wasj the cause, but this was dispelled when, on &arch, $272 in cash was found in a bureiu dr»wef also, a lift jnsur&pce .policy paid up until 1881, and some notes Of minor value. The coronet's inquest developed the followings facts: Mr. J. E. TOmlinson, the first man on the scene of the murder, said that early this morning he was called to the door by Rans' little girl, who said that something was the matter with her papa and mamma, as they wouldn't wake up when she called them. He immediately repaired to the scene and called at the bed room but on receiving no response, went in and found them stark and cold, weltering in their blood, when he summoned the coroner. He did not hear any shots nor any unusual noise. He said Mr. and

Mrs. Rans did not get along very well. Charles Hardwick, one of Rans' fellow workmen in the factory, said he had known Rans for several years that he came from Cairo,, and boarded awhile with him before he moved his family out. Rans told him that when his wife came be mu6t not take any offense kt anything she should say, as she was not in her right mind.
