TWO INJURIES FROM SAWS.
George 11. Helm Lotted a Hand Wil
liam A. Smith Hurt.
William A. Smith, agVd fifty-four years,
living at No. 55 Division street, was serious
ly Injured yesterday at the manufacturing
establishment of Nordyke & Murmon,
where he is employed as a sawyer. While
at work with a lurgte saw, the sleeve of
his right arm was caught and the member
badly lacerated. He was taken to the City
Hospital and his injuries treated. The hos
pital physicians are not sure that they will
be able to savY' the arm. *
George 11. Helm, son of an old Indian
apolis family, had his right hand caught in
a saw at E. O. Atkins <st Co.’g plant yester
day morning. The member was so badly
lacerated that Dr. Calvin Fletcher, who
was called to attend him, had to amputate
thYj hand.
Major llulford Not Injured.
The statement in a Denver dispatch of
Friday that Major E. W. Halford, formerly
of this city, had been Injured in a runaway
accident is not confirmed by the papers of
that city. Mr. Halford was a member of
a party driving over a mountain road when
a frightful runaway occurred, a team dash
ing down a hVavy grade with a sharp curve
in the road at a point where there was a
perpendicular descent of six hundred feet.
One young woman lost her life and several
oUt-ts wen slightly injured, but Mr. Hal
ford was unhurt.
Dr. S. A. Elbert's Return,
Dr. fc=. A. Elbert, who has been In Wash
ington for Several days looking after his
appointment to a South American con
sulate, returned yesterday Buffering severe
ly from inflammatory rheumatism. He is
confined to his home at No. 760 North Capi

cian, thinks that hv will be out in the
course of a few days.

THE SILVERITES BITTER
SEND OUT A Cl RUT BAR DENOUNCING
TAGGART’S A D >IIN IST R ATIO N.
The Pennuylrnala Road's Trucks* In
the Controversy—The South
Side Disfranchised.
• -♦
As the time for the Democratic city con
vention approaches the fight against the
Taggart administration grows warmer on
the part of the "tried and true” silverites.
They have no faith whatever in his pro
fessions of loyalty to the Chicago platform,
and such leaders as S. N. Gold, C. W.
Bridges and T. E. Johnson were even in a
mood yesterday to scoff at his interview,
wherein he vowel by all that was good and
great that he is really and truly for sliver.
"We judge him by his actions,” said Mr.
Bridges, "and you can usually tell more
from actions than from words.” And the
others echoed the sentiment In various
ways. They were even cruel enough to in
timate that Taggart never said any such
thing; that the interview was prepared by
J. I’. Dunn out of his own fertile brain, and
that Taggart simply consented to its pub
lication.
The fight in circular form goes merrily
on, and yesterday appeared one of tho
saltiest handbills that has yet appeared. It
was unsigned, and at tho headquarters of
tho “Silver League,” in tho Lemcke build
ing. they knew nothing about it. It is plen
titully sprinkled with glaring headlines and
big black type, and reads as follows:
"The attention of Democrats is called to
the outrageously unfair apportionment of
delegates to the coming city convention.
The gold-bug Second ward, with barely 500
true Democrats in it, is given forty-two
delegates to ..*e convention, while the 1,500
free-silver Democrats of the Fourteenth
ward are given but thirty-seven. There are
m round numbers IS,OOO Democratic voters
in the city, with the recent annexations,
8,000 of these on the North Side and 10,000
on the South Side, thtre are 640 delegates
in the convention, with 325 necessary to'
nominate, the North Side with S,OOO voters
has 330 delegates and can nominate without
calling on the 10.000 South Side Democrats
to assist them. This is an unfair and un
just discrimination of one section of the
city as against the other. The purpose of it
is plain.
“Precinct maps. Who uses them? Who
Pays for them? The city authorities have
failed and refused to have maps published
before the convention, showing the new
precinct boundaries for the use of all the
people irrespective of party or faction, but
the city engineer’s force in the basement
have been at work for weeks making blue
outline maps for the use of the ’bosses’ and
their ‘heelers,’ though these draughtsmen
are paid by the taxpayers of the city to
do the work of the whole city, and not the
work of 'a close office-holding corporation.
Will the taxpayers wake up and rebuke
these unfair discriminations against the
many in favor of the few. What do you
say?
THE PENNSYLVANIA TRACKS.
”It is now but three months until election
day. When that day is past the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company will proceed to
lay its tracks across Delaware street, pro
vided the people of the South Side continue
the present corporation loving administra
tion in power. Let the neglected South
siders think this over. >
“The claim that Mr. Taggart aided the
cause of Bryan anu free silver by contrib
uting to the campaign fund is absolutely
without foundation. It is a well-known fact
that he declined to give one cent to the
state committee. Toward the close of the
campaign a fund was raised in the inter
ests of the county ticket, and Mr. Taggart’s
friends are now boasting that he came to
the aid of the local ticket, and at the same
time discredited the regular organization
by refusing to turn the money over to it.
“The suit brought by Albert Lieber, of
the British Brewing Company, against Al
bert Lieber and others of the Park Board,
to test the constitutionality of said board,
was brought at the instigation of Taggart,
who had not the courage to face the tax
ridden people of the city in support of the
infamous assessment about to be levied by
the board, upon the eve of a city campaign.
If Taggart should be re-elected these tax
payers may rest assured that every effort
will be made to continue that board, and
next year tax the people a half million dol
lars to establish a boulevard for Holt, Tag
gart and others who like to own and drive,
last horses.
“Is it not a fact when S. R. Holt re
signed the chairmanship of the state com
mittee and the candidates on the state tick
et urged Mr. Taggart to accept the va
cancy, and he declined to do so because he
was under the influence of Holt and John
R. Wilson, who threatened to crush him
financially if he accepted.
"Soon after this did not Mr. Taggart’s
private secretary, Bert Spencer, say: ’There
is no reason why Mr. Taggart should have
accepted the position. He started out as
a gold man, and I am in a position to know
that he has not changed his opinion.’
"While Mr. Holt was chairman he had the
chairmen of county committees send him
lists of names of doubtful Republicans os
tensibly for the purpose of sending .them
literature. In some instances these lists
were sent by Holt to the chairman of the
Republican committee in the county from
which they came. A Democrat of this city
holds positive proof that such a thing oc
curred in at least one county. Said Holt is
now' a member of the Board of Park Com
missioner's, appointed as a Democrat by
Mayor Taggart.
"There are now in the employ of the city
at least twentv-two men who voted against
Mr. Bryan, some of them openly boasting
of it, and referring in sneering terms to
the 300,000 Democrats in Indiana who sup- 1
ported him as ’the push' and ‘curb-stone
loafers.’ ...
"It is said by his friends that his business
relations with certain ‘gold Democrats’
are such that he cannot ask these political
Judases to resign. If this be true will it
not be well to elect some true Democrat
mayor of Indianapolis ami allow Mr. Tag
gart time to attend to his ’business rela
tions’ with Holt, wilson, Reach and others.
"On the night of the November election,
when the returns showed Bryan's defeat,
Bert Spencer, then the mayor’s private sec
retary, said: ’lt is the verdict of an out
raged and indignant people, as every gold
Democrat expected.’ ”
NOKTH-SIDK WARDS SOLID.
The Taggart Apportionment Has
“Fixed” His* Nomination.
The Taggart forces are very active these
days, and they Include not only Chairman
Spencer and his executive committee, but
all the precinct committeemen appointed
by the, chairman. The executive committee
held a meeting last evening to see how the
machine was working. This meeting was
to have been held Sunday morning, but
there were so many beer in progress
that the members were too busy to attend.
Cast night the committee rooms were lull
of a noisy crowd, and the crowd in turn
was full of syndicate beer and Taggart en
thusiasm. They were so confident of an
easy victory for their man that they were
declaring that no other name would be pre
sented. Reports were made of solid dele
gations from all the North Side wards, and
under the apportionment made by the com
mittee these are enough to nominate Tag
gart. so it does not matter much how the
South Side votes. Tin- thing will Ik; settled
before they are reached in the call, and
the supposition is that they will rush to
“get on tho wagon.”
Quinn for City Clerk.
A crowd of Taggart heelers were loung
ing about the Grand Hotel Sunday night
w hen John Quinn electrified the assemblage
by announcing himself a candidate for city
clerk. “We have it all fixed up." said he.
“Taggart is to be mayor. 1 am to be clerk
and Jim Hill is to be police Judge."
“You wouldn't go on the ticket \yth him,
would you?” asked “Mickey” Latighlin.
"Sure!” replied Quinn. “Why not? An
Irishman's as good as a nigger any day.”
Nonunion Stone Labor.
At the last meeting of the Indianapolis
branch of the Journeymen Stone Cutters’
Association committees were appointed to
prevent the shipment to the city of stone
cut in the quarries by nonunion stone cut
ters. Resolutions were adopted setting out
that public officials in this city are letting
stone contracts to nonunion, nonresident
contractors to the detriment of resident me
chanics; also that the city park commis
sioners have violated their pledge to resi
dent union labor by rejecting the bids of
home union contractors and letting the
stone work for the monumental bases in
Military Park, by private contract, to a
quarry contractor who is employing non
union labor, all of which it Is claimed is in
violation of the pledge of both the mayor
and a member of the board who said the
THE INDtAXAPOI.IS JOURNAL, TUESDAY. JULY 20. 1897.
work should be fairly let and the work done
in the city by resident workmen.
The resolutions charge that the stone
work now under way at the base of the
soldiers' monument was let to an outside
nonunion contractor and the stone is being
cut by nonunion workmen in the quarries
and is very defective in many ways. The
same conditions prevailed, it is claimed, in
the erection of the former cascades at the
monument. The resolutions "deplore the
fact that so many men holding positions
of trust seem to entirely forget the pledges
made to organized labor by them, an ex
ample of which is seen in the letting of
the tiling in the courthouse to a nonunion
firm by the County Commissioners.”

Its Appeal to tlie Tax Hoard—Evans
ville & Terre Haute Com
pany Before liourd.
♦
During the morning session of the State
T;ix Board yesterday H. C. Barlow, so
licitor of the Evansville & Terre Haute
Railroad Company, argued in favor of a re
duction. in the assessment of that company
and the Evansville & Indianapolis, Evans
ville <& Richmond and the Evansville Belt
Railroad companies. He argued that the
Evansville Belt Company was merely a side
track and that during the last year the
gross earnings were $19,000 and tae net
earnings $450, and that the assessment
was 18.43 per cent, of the gross earnings.
Ho said the gross earnings of the Evans
ville & Terre Haute were $1,000,000, that the
assessment was 5.52 per cent, and that the
road had spent recently $3,532,000 in as
suming the indebtedness of the acquired
properties of the Evansville & Indianapolis
and Evansville & Richmond branches. Six
ty-three miles of the 102 of the Evansville
<fc Indianapolis have not had a train run
over it since last March, and as the law
spe ideally provides that no inoperative
property can be levied on the auditor of
Sullivan county recently wrote the board
asking if he could levy on the rails of the
Evansville & Indianapolis for taxes on that
belt of inoperative railroad property. His
letter has not been answered.
A. A. Zion, of the Indianapolis Union
Railway Company, before the
board and asked for a reduction of the
assessment. The assessment is now $4,000,-
000 and he asked a reduction of $500,000. In
1895 the assessment of this property was
$6,000,000. The reason for the reduction
given is that the Union Station is assessed
at $500,000 and the railroad company re
gard this piece of property as a public
building erected for the benefit of the peo
ple and should come under the exemption
of the Constitution. The assessment of
this eompany has been contested in law
suits a number of times by the State.
The board was to have heard the plea
of the Kentucky and Indiana Bridge Com
pany in the afternoon, but its representa
tive failed to appear. The board set Mon
day, Aug. 4, for hearing the appeals from
the Marion County Board of Review upon
the assessments of the Indianapolis Gas
Company, the Citizens’ Street-railroad Com
pany and the Indiana Manufacturing Com
pany. Tne appeals against the gas and
street-railroacl companies were made by
Messrs. F. J. Van Voris and S. M. She
pard on the ground that the assessment is
too low and that of the Indiana Manufac
turing Company was made by Merrill
Moores on the same ground. The board
also received appeals from the Clinton
County Board of Review made by the First
National Bank and Farmers' National
Bank, both of Frankfort, and the Frank
fort Waterworks Company. They were set
for hearing Aug. 2. The Lebanon Natural
Gas Company also appealed from the as
sessment fixed by the Boone County Board
of Review.
A FORGER WITH ALIASES.
11. T. Hneghlejr Arrested Here anil
Taken to Terre Haute.
Chief of Detectives W. E. Dwyer, of Terre
Haute, made a capture of a man alleged
to be one of the most notorious forgers in
the country in this city yesterday morning.
The man is Harry T. Hueghley, alias Harry
Pierce, alias Harry Heminbury, and with
various other aliases. Hueghley is the son
of a well-to-do wholesale merchant in Bos
ton, who sends him a remittance of money
every month. He is a young man of about
twenty-eight years, tall, athletic and fine
looking, with dark complexion and black
mustache. He began his career of crime
in 1884 and since then tho detective agencies
and police departments of the country have
been keeping an anxious lookout for him.
He is wanted for forgeries in Boston,
Washington, Louisville, Terre Haute and
various smaller cities. The immediate
charge upon which he was arrested was
for cashing at the McKeen Bank in Terre
Haute a check for $65, purporting to be
drawn by the Baker-Randolph Company
in favor of C. E. Carlon, upon the Mer
chants’ National Bank in this city. He
came here about a month ago with his
wife, a very good looking young woman,
and they, boarded for a week at a hotel
on South Illinois street. He got acquainted
with some of the clerks in the pension of
fice and by hiring a few rigs from the liv
ery stable of H. T. Sharpless, on Mary
land street, he got well acquainted with
the liveryman and finally took board at his
house. It has been his practice in the past
to thus get into the good graces of some
liveryman in each town that he works and
when he gets ready to go to hire a rig
for a couple of days, and then sell it at
his next stopping place. Last autumn he
traveled thus from Louisville to Terre
Haute, selling the horse and buggy there
for forty dollars.
Detective Dwyer learned of his where
abouts through a letter that Hueghley had
written to one of his wife’s relatives in Illi
nois. The letter was seen and the chirogra
phy recognized. He had got an envelope
from the pension office and the return card
printed in the corner thus gave a clew to
his whereabouts. It was discovered hero
that he had got a letter from the post of
fice last Saturday. Detective Dwyer asked
the assistance of the United States mar
shal’s office and Deputy John Foley ac
companied him to the pension office, where
one of the clerks immediately recognized
the photograph of Hueghley and said that
the mm was in the habit of loafing at
Sharpless’s livery stable. Thither the offi
cers went at once and found their man.
They took him by the arm and walked out,
and the crowd about the livery stable sup
posed they were old friends hustling him
off 10 take a drink. In answer to Dwyer’s
questions, Hueghley partly admitted his
crime by saying he thought he could fix
up that check matter at Terre Haute. He
was taken to Terre Haute at noon and his
wife followed on the afternoon train.
A PHOTOGRAPH CONTRACT.
People Victimized ly One of the Mar
ceau & Power Agents,
Marceau & Power, photographers on Illi
nois street, recently devised a scheme to se
cure customers, and sent agents on a house
to-house canvass to secure trade. Each of
these agents was provided with contracts,
which they sold for 50 cents, this amourt
being the commission, and which stipulated
that the holder, on the payment of $5 ad
ditional at the gallery, is entitled to one
water-color or sepia, portrait size, and one
dozen photos. One agent, whom I’ov r
says is named Weber, substituted a "1” for
a ”5” and victimized a number of people by
making them believe they were entitled
to this bargain by paying him 50 cents and
$1 at the office. Mrs. B. M. Culley, of
Marion, 0., who is visiting friends here,
purchased one of the altered tickets about
a month ago, and three days later received
a letter from Weber stating that he had
made a mistake in the price and would
return in a day or two and refund the 50
cents if she did not wish the contract at
$5.50. As. the man did not return or refund
the money paid she went to the gallery to
see if the firm would make good their
agent's contract, but this it refused to do
unless she paid $5. as the contract had
read before being altered. She asked to
have the amount she had given the agent
refunded by the firm, hut this she was told
could not t>e done, for the contract stated
that it was good only as printed. The alter
ation was made on the contract with a lead
pencil, and, unless closely observed, not
easily detected.
To a Journal reporter who called to inves
tigate the matter Power said that Weber
and some of the other agents had answered
an advertisement of the firm's and that
they knew little about them, and that since
the trouble with Weber all the agents thus
hired had been recalled. He also stated
that, though the firm was in a measure re
sponsible for the acts of its agents,
he hardly thought it ought to he expected
to refund the money collected by dishonest
ones on altered contracts, when at the top
of each are the words, "Good only as
printed.” “There has been one or two simi
lar complaints regarding contracts issued
by Weber.” he said, "and. though we have
tried to locate him and have him return to
the gallery, we have been unable to do so,
and believe he has left the city. Regard
ing the contract purchased by Mrs. Culley.
if she feels badly about the matter we will
refund the money if she will again call at
the office.” The following description is
given of Weber by Mrs. Culley: About five
feet eight inches high, of light build, has
dark brown hair and sandy mustache, wore
a black suit and black stiff hat, and Is
crippled in one foot and leg and uses a
crutch and cane.
A GRINDING MILL DESTROYED.
There XVas No AVnter Near Mr. Drun
tltus's Plant.
A feed grinding mill and depot at 1861
Draper street, belonging to Eli Drautitas,
was completely destroyed by fire last night.
It is near the Belt road in the extreme
southeastern part of the city. The tower
watchman pulsed Box 714 and immediately
afterward an alarm was turned in from
Box 715, also near the fire. It was a long
run even for the Prespect-street company
and when the apparatus arrived there was
no water near. Mr. Drautitas was very
much excited and abused the firemen for
allowing his establishment to be destroyed.
He owned the buildings and contents and
had no insurance. The loss was in the
neighborhood of $2,000.
NASHVILLE’S' BIG SHOW
MR. JUSTI, OF THE TENNESSEE CEN
TENNIAL, DESCRIBES IT.
*
There Have Been 040,000 Paid Admis
sions Since the Opening—The
Parthenon Reproduced.
Herman Justi, chief of the Bureau of
Promotion and Publicity of the Tennessee
Centennial Exposition, arrived in the city
yesterday evening from St. Louis, and is
stopping at the Bates House. Mr. Justi was
'for some years president of the First Na
tional Bank of Nashville, Tenn., was at
one time president of the Tennessee Bank
ers’ Association and has been a liberal con
tributor to the newspapers and magazines
of the country.
Mr. Justi’s work in connection with th 6
exposition is largely in the nature of a la
bor of love. He is interested in the develop
ment of the South and in bringing about
closer commercial relations between the va
rious sections of the country. He is return
ing now from a ten days’ trip through the
West, and reports the crops both in the
cotton and grain-growing States as very
promising and the prospects for fall busi
ness as excellent. He believes that an era
of prosperity is about to dawn. Mr. Justi
was asked about the success of the expo
sition at Nashville. He replied that the
success thus far has more than exceeded
the expectations of its projectors. The turn
stiles have registered about 640,000 paid ad
missions, and the daily receipts paid and
unpaid have exceeded, on an average of $250
a day, the current expenses.
"The centennial at Philadelphia just about
paid expenses for the first two months, and
Chicago and Atlanta lost heavily,” said Mr.
Justi. “Nashville is centrally located and
within a night’s ride there reside ten and a
half millions of people. Then another fact
which contributed to the success was the
practically complete condition of the expo
sition on the opening day. The reproduction
of the Parthenon in every minute detail,
as well as in its dimensions, has done more
than any other one thing at the exposition
to bring it to the attention of the cultivated
classes of America. It was anew departure
in architecture for exposition purposes, and,
although merely an imitation of the most
famous structure in the world, it lifted the
Tennessee Centennial Exposition iramea
sureably above any other exposition hereto
fore held in this country. It makes a last
ing impression upon every beholder, and
in the memory of those who have seen the
court of honor at Chicago this impression
obtained at Nashville will be the longest to
survive. There are in all about fifty sepa
rate buildings within the exposition park,
and all of these are decorated with electric
lights, the decorations being placed along
the lines of the buildings, producing an ef
fect never before made in electric lighting.
"The exposition park itself is a beautiful
tract of land of 210 acres, situated just at
the western boundary of the city. It is
leached by three electric lines and one
steam railway, and the largest crowds have
thus far been handled with more than com
parative comfort. It is to the credit of
the exposition management and to the busi
ness classed of Nashville that no extortion
has been practiced at any time nor in any
way. The exposition at Nashville is of pe
culiar interest to the Northern people.
They have heard much of "Bellemeade”
and the "Hermitage” and a visit to the
exposition affords an excellent opportunity
to the visitor to carry out a long-cherished
desire to see them. In addition to this the
batlertelcls of Tennessee are within easy
reach and have proved an attraction to
the old soldier element. Next to Virginia
a greater number of battles were fought
on Tennessee soil than in any other State
in the Union. And here were fought per
haps the most decisive battles of the war.
The trip to Nashville can be made in a
night, but for those to whom time is not
so much of an object a trip by river from
Evansville up the Ohio to the mouth of the
Cumberland and up the Cumberland to
Nashville would prove a most delightful ex
perience.
"The attendance from the North has been
greater than we anticipated during the
early months of the exposition, and inas
much as the Slate days come in tije au
tumn the attendance will certainly be very
large. Ohio and Wisconsin have already
had their Siate days, but the attendance
from those States continues nevertheless,
lri fact Ohio has contribute! more in at
tendance than any other of the Northern
States. And this is no doubt due to the
fact that the favorable impression made in
the early days of the exposition served as
an advertisement throughout the State. In
diana day is fixed for Oct. 4, and the Gov
ernor with his staff will no doubt attend.
It is also quite certain that the commercial
bodies of the larger cities of the State,
notably Indianapolis, will send large delega
tions.
"The trip is an inexpen -ive one, the
round-trip tickets from Indianapolis cost
ing only $7.20, good for ten days. Two of
the largest hotels of Nashville are con
ducted on the European plan, and the price
is $1 a day and upwards. The rates at the
hotels conducted on the American plan are
$2.50 a day and upwards. Nearly every
family in Nashville has kept open house
during the exposition and they will con
tinue to do so until the close. No tear,
therefore, need be entertained that the ac
commodations will be insufficient.”
The Knights of Tabor To-Day.

Knights of Tabor for the jurisdiction of

A LAZY TIME AT ACTON
*
CROWDS \OT ARRIVING FAST
ENOUGH TO BREAK THE MONOTONY.
Sickness Ahioiik the Cottagers Sug
gests the Need of a Deep
Artesian Well.
The people at Acton sat about on the ve
randas of their “tents” yesterday and won
dered how hot it was in town. There was
little else for them to do, and the lack of
activity of any sort was such as to satisfy
the most ardent lover of quietude. There
were very few visitors to the camp, the
most notable being Mrs. L T. Michener
and Miss Hele’n Michener, of Washington,
D. C. The attendance of outsiders has
been disappointing thus far and Geo. Ho
dell, the treasurer of the association, attrib
utes it to the calling of the assembly about
two weeks too soon. "The reason that it
was called so early,” says Mr. Hodell, "was
on account of the reunion of the Seven
tieth Regiment. The farmers have not
yet llnished their harvesting and a falling
off in gate receipts is a consequence.” Mr.
Hodell, however, thinks that the remaining
weeks of the camp will be livelier than
the one just passed, and that the gate re
ceipts, which are a main source of revenue,
will not be measurably decreased from last
year. The officials have had other causes
for disappointment beside the falling off in
the gate revenue, notably in the
failure of a number of those advertised
on the dally programme to respond and also
the trouble that has arisen with the rail
road company on account of passes. Dr.
Dashlell, the president of the association,
is not easily daunted, however, and believes
that the assemoiy will soon be under full
headway and that no mor ■ disappointments
are in store for the cottagers.
A number of women are sick and the
perennial complaint is heaid about the wa
ter. It is said that those who are not
“acclimated” to the camp are liable to a
mild form of sickness, which being inter
preted, means that the water is different
from other water and people must become
habituated to it. The need of a deep ar
tesian well is badly felt and it is the inten
tion to sink one this year if possible. An
other cause for sickness is the neglect
of some campers to renew the lining to
their cottages which beeotpes moldy during
the winter months. Theit again, some of
the cottages are untit for occupancy and
while the association w'ould like to con
demn and tear them down yet the owners
of such places usually resist any efforts of
the sort and the association has learned by
experience to keep hands off. However, the
meeting of the association this week may
take steps looking to a fuller control over
the cottages by the association and an en
deavor may even be made to raise the
ground rent. The association will elect
trustees at its meeting and much interest
is taken in the election. The desire is to
find some active business man or other
good material for the positions.
A LADIES’ AUXILIARY SOCIETY.
The ladies of the Home Missionary So
ciety held several meetings during the day
in a quiet informal way and at night the
Epworth Young Teople had a restful serv
ice of song and prayer. The chief work
accomplished by the ladies of the mission
ary society was the organization of an
auxiliary society for Acton Park and over
thirty ladies joined it. The officers elected
for this new society were: Mrs. H. A.
Crossland, of Indianapolis, president; Mrs.
R. M. Floyd, of Indianapolis, first vice
president; Mrs. I. V. Stee, of Indianapolis,
second vice president; Mrs. M. B. Thrasher,
of Shelbyville, recording secretary; Mrs. A.
V. Williams, of Shelbyville, treasurer; Mrs.
Maggie Drake, of Greensburg, correspond
ing secretary, and Mrs. J. R. Budd, ot In
dianapolis, mite box custodian. The work
that this auxiliary will undertake will be
to furnish and maintain headquarters for
the Home Missionary Society at me park.
A cottage has already been secured and
the intention is to build a. new porch am.
otherwise improve it.
In the auditorium the afternoon devotion
al service was conducted by Mrs. Ida \.
Steeg. After the close of the services Mrs.
A. V. P. Adams, of Shelbyville, conference
corresponding secretary, took charge ot the
meeting and a number of short talks on
missionary subjects followed. Miss Josie
Walker road a short paper on "Young Peo
ple's Work in Home Missions, in which
she urged the training of young people in
missionary work and si>oke with enthu
siasm on the possibilities of doing good
that are within reach of young people. Mrs.
Ella Chidcster sang a solo, after which
Mrs. Adams spoke at length on tde woik
of the Home Missionary feociety. I his so
ciety, which was organized seventeen years
ago has 70 000 members and has handled
over $1,000,000, all of which money has gone
to the support of missionaries and indus
trial suhools. which are carrying on aggres
sive w\rk through the South and far est
and r.lsfo in the slum districts of the great
cities. There are 142 missionaries under
pay by the society and fifty-three hidustrial
houses and schools in its control. Beside
ma’ntaining these the society aiso does a
large work In furnishing supplies to needy
ministers of the gospel in
stricken districts of the South and 'Yest.
“Some of these ministers said Mis
Adams, “get as low as s2o a year. I hey
are almost martyrs to the cause of the
gospel " Miss Alice B. Dole, superintend
!nt P of the Asheville Industrial Home, was
to have made a report on the home, but
she is confined to her cottage \Mth sick
ness. The Asheville home is one of the
largest belonging to the society and bds
sent out into 8 the world over 1.400 colored
pupils in the last eight years. These pupils
find good positions and invariably become
of Acton has again showed
how impervious it is to the christianizing
influences of a camp-meeting by having an
other fight J. W. Oliver, an old man, was
seriously assaulted by Wallace Montague.
1 voune man just back from Honduras.
Oliver, who is said to be on bad terms
a good many people, had, it is alleged,
charged Montague with throwing a railroad
mn through a grocery store. Montague has
also had a lawsuit with Oliver and the
light was the result of the grudge then
formed. ------
