[Bp*eSml to Tn« IndUttopolto Now».] Anderson. lod.. July »-The effort to have the President at the Indiana celebration of Labor Day. Monday. September «. his reply to Cob w. T. Durbin, ot this city, explaining why the Invitation can not be accepted, and the recent appointment of Charles 8. Tprlton. of Indianapolis. as a lieutenant In the new regiment for service li. the Philippines, have created some interesting gossip relative to the changes wrought in the seven years since the President visited Elwood and this city. In this connection, the grosfth of the tin-pate Industry In this country is a matter of comment. Inasmuch as the President by his visit to Elwood attended the birth of the Industry, now one of the most important In America. It was sincerely hoped that the President could accept tbs invitation extended to him. It is thought ha would have been surprised In the plans tor his reception In Madison county. It was proposed that he should come from Cincinnati via railway that would bring him In eight of a trio of Un.,'ate works. In the extreme southeast part of the count/, and on a part of the Henry county line, is located the Middletown works. The next etop would have been near the National Un-plate mill. In this city, and thence to Elwood, the great tin-plats works there being the first manufacturing concern In view on approach to the city. i At each place tin-plate works receptions r.’pud have taken place, and In the crowds the President would have had his attention directed to the large number of Welshmen who were forced to come to this country for employment since the McKinley tariff measure became effective. A brief and local illustration of the growth ot the tin-plate Industry is shown by a comparison of what the President would have witnessed In another visit at Elwocd. While there on September 13, 1S92, he went through the first tin-plate mill In the country. Much pride was expressed over It. and the press put much stress on the fact that the works Included three b-ildlngs, the largest of wh'ch was 178 by SO feet. Another Item of Importance at that time was that the Elwood plant employed 2SS persons. There were two “hot mills,” the first machines through which the raw steel passes. To-day the Elwood plant has substantial buildings covering ten acres, and a system of railways within Its factory and two locomotives employed In moving cars. Over 1,800 persons are emfloyed. and it Ur the intention during the tall to Increase the capacity and enlarge the working forces to not lees than 2,000. Against two "hot mills'' In 1892 there are twenty at this tune, and more are proposed- Another strong comparison is that the Elwood plant, when the President first Inspected it. was absolutely independent, being alone In this country, but to-day it !» a part of the tin-plate trust, which also absorbed its first name, the American Tin-Plate Company. When the President; gave Mr. Tariton an appointment recently he perhaps re-

was secretary of the American Tin-Plate Company and a member of the Oovernor’i staff, with the rank of major. His Un-

a member of the Governor's w.e rank of major. His im-

portance In the city's new concern and bis State recognition made Major T&rlton the biggest man In Elwood, and when It came to a great Republican rally, celebrating the opening of the tin-plate mill, he was selected as grand marshal of the aay in the city and at the mill. The weather was bad on the "big day,” but Major Tariton followed the program, save a march to a grove, where Governor

McKinley would speak.

With the chief executive of Ohio were Governor Chase. Capt. John K. Gowdy, Gen. Thomas Nelson, Judge Waugh and other distinguished politicians. Major McKinley braved the weather with a silk hat of rather an antique style and a wellworn mackintosh. He smoked frequently during the day, lighting a cigar often while viewing the mill. In Ms speech he Kald much of the tariff and handled a tin cup. made from Elwood tin and a common white water pitcher. These articles he diepl&yed and talked of the new tariff placed upon them, and why he believed that the increase In the tariff would make many great tin-plate mills and large pot-

teries In this country.

Of the original American Tin-Plate Company A. L. Conger was the president; John F. Hasen, of Cincinnati, vice-presi-dent; W. B. Leeds, superintendent of the Richmond division of the Pan-Handle i all way, was treasurer, and C. 8. Tariton was secretary. Edwin Stevens, former comptroller of Cincinnati, was the firet manager of the Elwood mill, and the Hasen company, of Cincinnati, had control of the output of the plant for several months. Mr. Leeds is the only member of the old company now connected with

the trust. WILL WORK SECRETLY.

Terre Haste Anti-Saloon League Re-

fuses to Divulge Its Plans. [Bpaotal to Tbs Indians poll* Ntsws.J

Terre Haute, Ind., July 10.—The AntlBaloon League has the saloon-keeper* and the police authorities guessing. When the efficers of the league were asked by reporters of the local papers yvho compos id the delegation which called on Governor Mount Mtnday to ask him to Instruct the police ccmmlwloner* he had appointed for this city, to enforce the law. the reply was - that the league did not Intend to make public the membership, and moreover that an Us work was to he done secretly. In other words, It was said, that the league , will depend on its Individual tnd collective strength to accomplish Its purposes, and norat all by rousing public sentiment or in any way resorting to the old crusade method* of fighting the liquor inter-

. ««ets.

There are a few officer* of the league who do not hesitated to appear before the public M the league'a representatives, and ere of these said that the membership of ! more than bOO is composed largely of eubstantlal men, who will subscribe to the funds, and who have signed the pledge to support only such candidates for office as i n o known to be earnestly in favor of the «*nforc«ment of the law. but who would not be members If they thought their r.ame* acre to be made public. This offlter said that the first work of the league will be to bring pressure to bear on the taw officers to have them enforce the law. Jn the past, objection has been made to action by private clttscns in trj lug to anforca the law without consulting the ap- ! pointed authorities, and the call on the Governor Is pm of the plan to have the tasgue go On record as first exhausting its 'nfluence with officers before pro oedlng

or private clUsens.

Terre Hsute has never taken up with tV«se movement*, and ir the several instances when something in that line was attempted, the few who were active in the proceedings found that they were either Mughed to scorn or roundly abused by those they had counted upon to back them up with expressions of good will, at least. Business men and others afraid of resent-wAn^aml^iDl-boycott, would not join .n

GLASS CONVENTION CLOSING. Prescription Committee will Recommend an Advance in Wage*. (Sfmolai to Tt>* IndiaMpnUa News.) Muncie, Ind., July 30.—The twenty-sec-ond annual convention of the American Flint Glass-Workers’ Union is nearly closed. It is thought to-morrow will set! the work of the convention finished, though It may take a part of Saturday. Yesterday afternoon the mold-makers reported in favor of continuing last year's rules. The paste-molders asked for some slight wage advances. Shorter hours of labor also were demanded. The chief advance in wages will come through the medium of shorter hours. An important committee, on whose deliberations probably depended the welfare of many thousands for another year, was the prescription committee. The prescription department of the flint# held a conference In Pittsburg before the Muncie convention. In this It was decided to ask an average advance of from MB* to 10\ per cent, in all prescription wares. A discussion lasting over a wreck was held in the committee room here, owing to the importance of the demand at this critical time in glass history. The report of the Pittsburg conference yesterday was concurred In, however, and the prescription workers will go before the national manufacturers' conference with their increased demands. The same resolution of this committee that recommended an advance in wages also recommended & crusade against non-unionism in the Indiana gas belt. Non-union prescription blowers seem to have beebme numerous recently. ' Political bees have begun to buzz rather vigorously about the bonnets of the delegatee To-morrow is election day. President William Smith will continue to be president as long as he cares for the office. The vice-presidency, which Is on y an hon otory position that may at any time become important, is being sought by three or four candidates. About the same number would liko to succeed National Organizer Rowe. The present secretary will remain. Rowe has been unusually effective in settling strikes and assisting in the organization of new unions during the last year. His friends state that there is no danger of his being ousted. There is an organized opposition of uncertain proportions, however. After the adjournment of the Munde convention there will be merry times in Pittsburg, Atlantic City or Philadelphia, whichever place may be chosen for the conference with the manufacturers. Serious differences on the wage question are known to exist between the manufacturers and the flint workmen.

A PRISONER SPIRITED AWAY. He Is Removed to Jeffersonville to Avoid « Possible Lyncblng. Lawrenceburg, Ind., July 30.—Garrett Bently. the youthful victim of David Pearson, died yesterday afternoon with out regaining consciousness. Public indignation ran so strongly against Pearson, with numerous threats of lynching, that the sheriff spirited him away to Jeffersonville last night for safe keeping, and he will remain there until the trial can be had here with safety. Pearson was terribly frightened by the threats of violence, and begged the sheriff to hasten away. The murderer is sixty-four years old, with long, flowing gray beard and straggling white hair. There is a deep indentation and a cavernous scar in bin forehead, and the sight of one eye Is gone, the result of a bullet which struck him years ago, while he was serving as town marshal of Cleves, O. After hearing of the boy’s death last evening, Pearson begged for the services of a preacher, Presbyterian or Methodist, he cared not, so that he could pray him out of the trouble into which he had fallen. Pearson says that the boy was preparing to assault him, and that he struck him with a heavy stick which he was carrying, but

njw wtus ii#ii uer iimn ne inienoccL Examination of the body of his victim after death shows that the youth was struck several times, many bruises showing on the surface. The fatal blow took effect near the base of his brain, fracturing the skull, and this bears out the story that Pearson first knocked a bucket out of the hand of the youth, and as he stooped to pick It up the blow was administered which resulted fatally. He was the son of a widowed mother, who 1* alarmingly prostrated over his fate. Several prisoners with criminal records are awaiting trial in the Lawrenceburg Jail, and before Pearson had been transferred to Jeffersonville they were terribly alarmed, for fear a mob might gather and send several of them with Pearson into the world bevond.

‘Talking about preservallne In milk,” said & druggist, “there was a man, who, I suppose, was a dairyman, In the store here the other day. He wanted a pint of formaldehyde. It was a large quantity, and I thought, perhaps, he did not know much about its use. < “ 'What do you want It for?* I asked him, with a view to giving him some advice. •’ ‘None of your business,’ he answered “ ‘Well, I didn’t know whether you knew how to use it.’ “ ’You bet I do,' he replied; T know all about it.' “Two days afterward he came In with his arm badly swollen, and as soon as I saw it was the same duck I guessed what the trouole was. “ ’You have been putting some of that stuff on a cut, haven’t you?' “ ‘You’ve guessed it;’ he said. 'I heard It was good for such things, and when I cut my hand I rubbed some of that stuff into it Can you do anything for it?' "I advised him to get to a doctor as quickly as he could, if he wanted to save his arm. He shot out of tHe store, and I haven't heard from him since.”
