Three men received enthusiastic recep tions at the opening of the series of Mur phy gospel temperance meetings In Merid ian-street Methodist Church yesterday afternoon, Francis Murphy, Governor Mount and Rev. Matthias L. Haines, pas tor of the First Presbyterian Church. With them on the platform sat Joseph Taggart, president cf the local Murphy League; Rev. Elijah P. Brown, the well-known paragraphist and former editor of the Ram's Horn;" S. J. Wilson, chaplain of the Murphy League and Mr. Charles Rey nolds. Th large rostrum was such a mass of flowering plants and greenery that the speakers of the afternoon could scarce ly see the vast audience which they ad- drcssed. The tasteful decorations ex tended to the pipe organ, which was orna mented with a profusion of Easter lilies. Except on occasions when he has spoken in Tomlinson Hall, Francis Murphy has never before addressed a larger concourse of people In Indianapolis. All the pews were filled to their utmost capacity, rows of chairs were placed in the aisles and quickly appropriated, and the great space surrounding the platform was also filled with extra seats, each one of which held an eager listener. .Mrs. Mount was pres ent, and seemed to take great Interest in the proceedings. THE GOVERNOR'S REMARKS. After prayer by Rev. E. P. Brown, Gov ernor Mount delivered the opening address as presiding officer. His appearance on the platform was the occasion of a verit able ovation, and, as soon as his voice could be heard, he rpoke, in part, as fol lows: "I assure you that I esteem It an honor. and it is to me a very great pleasure to attend this meeting. I rejoice that so many of the good people of Indianapolis are Interested In temperance work and that you have como with your presence to encourage Mr. Murphy in beginning this gospel temperance service. As good citi zens we can render no better service to the city, to the State, to the country and to our homes than to be deeply Interested in the cause of temperancs. He who engages in temperance work has enlisted his ener gies in a noble service, and they who sym pathize with those who have been over taken by an appetite for drink, sympathize with them and are endeavoring to lift them up, are doing a service that the mas ter would approve. I am glad that the women are engaged in the temperance work. Let the women, let the mothers be encouraged in temperance work and let your field be the home, for it Is the most Important. I have seen enough of the evils of Intoxicating drink that my heart is in full sympathy with all efforts to pro mote the cause of temperance. No evil has blighted so many homes and caused to much suffering as the evil of Intem perance. "Drink! Oh, thou red-eyed monster Drink! More grief, moro sorrow thou hast wrought Than all the battles ever fought. The thief, the wanderer, the knave. The gallows, the untimely grave And want, that direst ill of life. And all the ills from which we shrink Are centered in that dread enemy. Drink." "I am glad that Mr. Murphy has come, in his persuasive way and In God's power, to do what he can for this cjty against this evil. I hope the people of Indianapolis will second his efforts and that this will be the beginning of a temperance revival that shall prove a blessing to our city. Cut I must not take up your time. It is not nec essary that I Introduce to you Francis Murphy. His name is a household word. He is known everywhere. I will now turn this meeting entirely over to him, so he shall be speaker and programme and have general charge of this meeting. I now pre sent Francis Murphy." Great applause. MR. MURPHY TALKS. Mr. Murphy responded to Governor Mount's address in his characteristic man ner, saying, among other things, the fol lowing: "My Dear Governor, Brother Taggart. Dr. Haines, Chaplain and Dear Friends I am deeply grateful In the gracious provi dence of God that I am permitted to come back again to this beautiful city of Indian apolis with my good wife, to stay with you for a few days In promoting this blessed and holy cause of gospel temperance and to be presented to you by this distinguished Christian gentleman whom you know and love, and love him because you know him. God bless him. It is a great deal for the Governor of a commonwealth to stand upon a platform and present and commend this gospel, and not only commend It as he does, but to practice it in his life. That is the remarkable part of It." Applause. Mr. Murphy paid a glowing tribute to the memory of Oliver P. Morton, stating that he spoke from personal knowledge of the man. He also took occasion to congratu late the people of Indianapolis upon having such a garden snot as Woodruff Place and such a wonderful poet as James Whltcomb Riley In their midst. Of Poet Riley he said: "This strange and beautiful and. I was going to say, this divine man. this Riley, has sung so sweetly of Woodruff Place. What a beautiful character he is remark able. Oh, he is a genius, he is a seer, he Is. ond the sweetest and most beautiful things that thought can gather up around the altar of human hearts he has trans ferred them to paper, and read them. If you please, and get a blessing and let God get into your lives." Applause. DR. HAINES HEARD. After Mr. Murphy had spoken about five minutes a restlessness in his manner be came noticeable, which shortly proved to bo due to his Intense desire to have a few words from his friend. Dr. Haines. With tho humorous observation that possibly the evangelist wished to get him out of the way so he could have a clear track, Dr Ualnes Kayo an extemporaneous appeal for total abstinence that was conspicuous for its elegance of diction. Its eloquence. amounting at times to brilliance, and its fund of subtle, reOned humor. This talk proved an excellent introduction to Mr. Murphy's second exhortation on the sub ject of gospel temperance, which was de livered In his own peculiar style, each one hearing It thinking the address Intended for bis especial benefit. Some of the evan gellst's characteristic utterances follow: "I think sometimes that the splendor of our presentations of Jesus Christ kind o alienates us from Him. iou must not for get the society He lived in, the poverty that He assumed. "We are putting on our nice clothes and standing on parade and looking at our selves and crimping our hair and putting on such a gait that Lord save us none of our neighbors can keep up with us. We are special trotters. "When a man Is in love be is a good fisherman. He never thinks about himself: It is what the girl likes. How is that. Gov ernor? (Governor Mount replied. 'That's all right'). I am certified to by no less air thorlty than the Governor of the State (Governor Mount: 'I will Indorse every proposition ). I tell you that is great. "You talk about the ministers filling the churches. That Is a mistake. Go to work and fill them yeourselves. Now, say, we have got to take off our clothes and tome down and shake hands with people. "I want to thank the newspaper men of the city these splendid men, these quiet preachers, men who speak the truth as few men are ever speaking It, men who are on the walls of Zion and the moment there is a combination to wrong the people they expose it; men who stand behind poor, unfortunate men to push them up: men who have rendered to me such help In this city that as long as I live I shall pray for them and bless them; men that I love as I love my life, and there Is nothing in the world I would not do for them. "I am not sure that fashion has not hurt the Church of Jesus Christ pretty near as much as anything else I know anything about. "Touch it not. Separate yourselves from It. It will deceive you: It will betray you; It will blight your hopes; it will blast your heart; I was going to say it will damn your life. God help us this holy Laster day, God help us to rise from this blessed and holy church in this divine service, and break our chains and sign the declaration of Independence and In God's name walk out of this church free men. never again to touch or taste a drop of liquor. "Oh, San Juan will never be forgotten in the world. Thank God for the luster and fame that has been lifted upon this starry flag till it has filled the world with Its fame to-day. "Oh, young man, I appeal to you for your mother's sake, for your soul's sake. for your future prosperity, set this thing aside. Be men. brave and true and noble and say, 'I don't drink, I will not drink A MILLIONAIRE. "Any man that is virtuous and honest and making a decent living and Is fol lowing the golden rule and is living at peace with his neighbor, that man is a millionaire, that is what he Is. "It Ih your privilege. It Is my privilege. It Is the sweetest thought in my whole heart, It is the Inspiring thought of my life that It is my privilege to have In my own heart the living consciousness that I did my best. Applause. This is knight hood, it is knighthood: it is more; it Is God's royal aristocracy the wide world over." At the close of Mr. Murphy s eloquent appeal he read the pledge of the temper ance society which bears his name and called for signers. A great many respond ed and several members of the league, who were prepared with a supply or blue riD- bons. were kept busy for fifteen or twenty minutes, tylnp them on the clothes of peo ple who signified their intention to lead lives of abstinence from Intoxicating liquor. Last night's meeting was held In the Sev enth Presbyterian Church. MOUNT WILL PRESIDE THAT SEEMS TO BE THE PREVAILING OPIXIOX OF POLITICIANS. It Is Thought His Selection Will Be Satisfactory to All Interested. Republican politicians of the State, who have been interested In the gossip over the chairmanship of the state convention. without having heretofore expressed them selves on the merits of the case, have about reached the conclusion that Gov. Mount is the man to preside, and that he will be the most natural selection from the list of able men who have been mentioned in connection with the position. It Is pointed out In the first place that to invite Governor Mount to preside as chairman will be a compliment to him as the head of the state administration. One politician, who has studied the situation closely, observes that there will be no oc casion for jealousy of the prominence given Governor Mount In this position, because he has announced that, with the conclu sion of his present term of office, he is through with politics and expects to devote his time to his farm and his private busi ness. Another Republican points out that no candidate need fear any partiality on the part of the Governor as chairman, for there Is no reason why he should show favoritism, and, besides, be is known to be a fair-minded man, whose rulings are bound to be conscientious. It is also re marked by a friend of the Governor that he is a clear and forceful speaker and will entertain the convention with an Interest ing talk. The question of the chairmanship of the convention will probably be talked over by the state committee at its meeting, on Wednesday, but the selection will be made the night before the convention by the committee on rules and organization. This committee is made up of one man from each district. Fifteenth Wnrd Republicans. The Republicans of the Fifteenth ward are urged to meet to-night at 7:30 o'clock at 804 South Meridian street to make final arrangements for holding the State prim ary. JOHN F.

The Cot of Motive Power, It Is Claimed, Is Reduced to n 31 1 it 1 mnm in This Engine. FROM CHICAGO TO NEW YORK A TRIAL TRIP WILL SOON BE MADE OVER THE PENNSYLVANIA. Four Bite Factories Are Contemplated by the Company Person nel of Incorporators. From Chicago to New York at the rate of forty miles an hour, with no stop for any purpose except compliance with the laws of the several States, will be made within sixty days at a cost of only $18 for motive power. Such Is the promise made by theAmerican Vi-Motum Car and En gine Company, which was recently Incor porated at Charleston, W. Va., with a capital of $3,000,000. The company was or ganized and will operate as the result of the work of J. M. Thompson, general man ager of the company. In utiliizing the gas engine Invented by Major T. M. De Frees, of this city, for power on interurban and regular railway lines. Patents were issued in December, 1S38, to Mr. De Frees for a gas engine, upon which he had been working for a long tlmo and which contained many novel and de sirable features. Nowadays, with the com petition between Inventors and the large number of applications for patents upon gas and gasoline engines, an inventor con siders himself fortunate if even two or three of the claims made for his inven tion are allowed by the Patent Office. The claims made by Mr. De Frees were fifteen In number, and of these fourteen were al lowed. His engine was radically different from any other engine in that there was more solidity for the same weight and space occupied and that the motive power was greater and there was in the entlro engine not a single valve. The engine has been manufactured in this city for about a year, at Barth avenue and Sanders street. and sold for the usual uses of gas engines. GRIP CABLE SYSTEM. Mr. J. M. Thompson, who was among the first to make special study of the problems which confronted the people In the search for cheap and rapid transit, was the pro moter of the grip cable system of transpor tation and also the use of compressed air for a similar purpose. He was the prime mover in the company which Introduced the cable system in California and Oregon, and the company utilizing compressed air for the propelling of cars, with which he was connected, was recently merged into a new organization with a capital of $25.000, 000. Not being satisfied that the minimum expense system had been found he still looked for new Ideas and took up the study of gas engines for motive power. About nine months ago he began looking into the merits of the De Frees engine for that purpose, and, with the Assistance of, Mr. De Frees and others, an engine adapted for the purpose with one hundred horse power has been made and applied to a regular passenger coach. This coach has been, for some time, at Columbus, where the com pany has been granted by the Big Four Railroad Company exceptional facilities for experimenting. The coach weighs thirty-five tons and was once the private car of a railroaod presi dent. It Is called the "Keystone," and is fitted with buffet, private state room, four berths, a drawing room and observation rcom. About the only change which has been made in the car for the use of the self propelling mechanism is the change of the forward trucks, upon which the De Frees engine is placed and the construction of a space about five feet wide for the motor man. CAN BE EASILY ATTACHED. "With tho use of the trucks and engines which will be manufactured by the new company no other changes will be neces sary In order to transform any passenger coach Into a self-propelling car which will have a speed of forty miles an hour, and may be run at a cost of for motive power fuel of 1V4 cents per car per mile. The railroad transportation companies of the country have long been looking for a cheap motive power with which they may compete with the electric lines now so fast covering the country. The De Frees en gine as applied with its minimum cost for fuel is said to solve the problem and with the high grade roadbeds kept in perfect ballast for the freight and passenger busi ness it will be possible for the railroad companies to put on any number of motor cars for local business at a nominal cost and use Jhelr present equipment, the only change being In the forward trucks. The absence of valves in the De Frees en gine is said to be of the greatest impor tance, it having shown that In all other gas or gasoline engines used for automo biles or other transporatlon service the valves, which become filled with dust and other substances, have proved a great source of annoyance and expense. Several months ago a man started to go from New York to San Francisco In an automnhiiA One week after the start he arrived f Rochester, N. Y., and was obliged to lay m ivr repairs on account or damage to me macnine resulting rrom the valves. The engine is said to he almost nnicätace there being almost no noise perceptible to passengers and to those outside the engine shows less noise than the usual street-car motor. The engine is so simDle that no ex perienced mechanic is required to care for it. ine car "Keystone" Is equipped with Wcstlnghouse air brakes, and air whistles and the power of the engine is used to furnish compressed air with which tn tr the car after stopping and for running a dynamo which supplies light and heat for cooking in the buffet. Heat In the car Is supplied by the water which Is used around the cylinders, being In Dines th car and then back to the cylinders, cooling i;i in.- 4uif3 auer leaving tne inside of the car. ENGINE IN QUESTION. Tho engine' which Is attached to the "Keystone," and which will be built for regular similar service, is a three-cylinder engine, and Is controlled the same as a steam engine. With the use of the three cylinder arrangement the engine is revers ible, and equally as easily as a steam en gine. Its fuel-consumption is said to be but one-tenth gallon per horse power per hour. The car and engine are now being "worked out" on the track between Colum bus and Greensburg. and will be brought to this city after even-thing has been thor oughly tested. The car will then make a trip from here to Martinsville and return over the Pennsylvania road. The next trip t 1 . . a win do over tne same road rrom Indian apolis to Louisville and return, after which a trip will be made from here to St. Louis. thence to Kansas city and from thence to Chicago, from Chicago to St. Paul and re turn to Chicago, and then on the trip to New York. These trips will be taken for the purpose of demonstrating to the rail road officials the value of the Invention. The claim that a run can be made from Chicago to New York, with no stops ex ccpt to comply with the laws, at a cost of but $18 and at the rate of forty miles per hour is a startling one, but the Inventor and members of the company claim the en glne and its adaptability to the purpose Is far beyond the experimental stage, and there Is no doubt that it can be done. The car will remain in the East for several months for examination by railroad offi cials. 1 The company now has conditional orders for eaulnment for more than two thousand cars, and letters have been received from Mexico. South Africa and nearly all of the European countries. FOUR LARGE FACTORIES. The plans of the company Include the building of four large factories for the manufacture of the engines, heavy draft trucks and automobiles. One of the fac tories will be In Russia and another one near London. England. There will be two In this country, one at Chicago and one in Indianapolis. The Indianapolis factory will be the first one put in operation, and it is learned upon good authority that a deal has been practically completed between the company and the J. B. Allfree Manu facturing Company, of this city, for the purchase of its plant at Twenty-first street and Northwestern avenue. The plant will be enlarged and car engines alone will be manufactured here. The capitalization of $5.000,000 is said to be only for the purpose of promoting the car engine appliance, and that an equal sum Is now on deposit with two trust companies for the purpose of pro moting the business .of manufacturing heavy draft trucks and automobiles, with another $5.000.000 available- fori additional capital. Work upon the improvements planned here will begin in a short time, and special machinery costing $200.000 will be installed in the plant at the nrst oppor tunity. The company now has men in Russia and London looking over the ground for the establishing of plants there. MEMBERS OF COMPANY. The promoters and incorporators of the company are A. E.

A " WELL-DRESSED GIRL FORMERLY OF THIS CITY ATTEMPTS SUICIDE IN S7l FRANCISCO. She Refused to Give Her Name, but Said She Had Left Indianapolis Seven Mouths Ago. An Indianapolis girl who lived in this city until seven months ago made an un successful attempt to end her own life at San Francisco last week. She refused to give her name or the name of her relatives. The story of the affair is as follows: -"A young woman giving the name of Helen Gray was found shortly after 1 o'clock Thursday morning in the shrubbery In Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, suffer ing from the effects of poison she had taken with suicidal intent. She was taken to tho receiving hospital and the poison pumped out. The girl, who was very well dressed in a tailor-made gown, refused. to to say anything except that her name was assumed and that she came from Indian apolis seven months ago, where her aunt resides. Everything about her shows that she has been used to luxury. 'A peculiar feature of the young woman's attempt to end her life was the finding of a rose branch which was held between her teeth, and bound into its place, as the bit of a bridle might have been, with the gold chain which had been attached to her glasses. " 'My story is npt for the public ear she said to the hospital physician to-day. 'I came to this city Feven months ago from Indianapolis, where I have always lived. My father and brother died there recently, and my aunt, who Is my one remaining relative, cherishes an enmity against me because of a feud she once had. with my mother. So I am entirely alone In the world and without friends " I shall not mention the name of my relatives, or my own, for that matter. It Is not necessary. I am penniless now, and cannot face either disgrace or privation. That is all I will say.' " : - SHERIFF WAS ON HAND AND THE FIGHT IX THE WOODS FAILED TO MATERIALIZE. Two Hundred Men Drove Seven Miles Into the Woods to See Jack Collen and Ollle Chill Fight. About 200 faithful followers of the prize ring rode over dusty roads to a point about seven miles southwest of the city yester day afternoon to witness a scheduled finish fight between Jack Cullen and Ollle Chill, both of this city. The men were to meet at 128 pounds and were to fight for tho receipts. In a corner of a woods was pitched a tent where the battle was to take place, and the managers of the two principals were wreathed in smiles at the sight of many hacks and other convey ances coming into view, each carrying its delegation which would add to the coffers of the two fighters. When everything seemed lovely and the word was given to prepare for the festivi ties, and the fighters were awakened from their sleep and told to don their fighting trunks a pall seemed to come over the crowd and from many voices could be heard the utterance "It's all off." Sheriff Clark and several deputies, with Detective Thomas Dugan, of tho city force, rode Into view and then the cause of the de jected cries was known. The crowd stood aoout tne grounds eyeing the stern aeents of the law for some time. After riding into the country as far as they had they were eager for a fight and suggested that the party go six miles further Into Hen dricks county and there settle matters. Chill and his manager were against going any runner, ana alter much arguing with the principals, and then with the sheriff, it was decided to postpone the fight in definitely. Cullen is matched to fight "Spider" Kelly next Sunday at Terre Haute. A Terre Haute Fighter. Spider" Kelley and his backer. Sam Graff, of Terre Haute, came to Indian apolis yesterday to see the fight between Jack Cullen and Ollle Chlnn. which failed to come off. Kelley Is to meet Cullen within the next ten days. Cullen is training in this city, while Kelley has been making nis headquarters in Terre I laute Flncc he left Kansas City some months ago. Kelley is a light weight and has a good record.
