2 THE JISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1895. DEMOCRATS WON 0UT Republicans of the City of Indianapolis Met Defeat. CAUSES OF THE CHANGE. Thomas Daggett Elected Mayor by an Overwhelming Majority. STAY-AT-HOME MEN BLAMED. Enmity Was Also Aroused by a Rigld Enforcement of the Liquor Laws. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., Oct. 8.—The Re- publicans of Indianapolis suffered the heaviest defeat in the history of the city in the municipal election to-day. Fairly complete returns at 10 o’clock show that Thomas Taggart, Democrat, is elected Mayor by about 4000 plurality, and the rest of the Democratic ticket by about 3200. Two years ago the Republicans car- ried the city by 3100, and last vear the city went Republican by 2497 on the State ticket. This change of 6500 is accounted for by sbout 4000 stay-at-home Republicans and from 1200 to 1500 Republicans voting the Democratie ticket. The main causes attributed by the Re- publicans are that the present administra- tion has aroused enmity by its rigid en- forcement of the liquor laws, assisted by tbe vigorous Nicholson temperance law passed at the last Legislature, and the per- sonal unpopularity of their candidate, and the fact that he did not vote for Harrison in 1892, A APPEALS AGAINST DRAKE. An Address to the Non-Partisan Prohi- bitionists of Towa. DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 8.—Rev. W. R. Cole, secretary of the Iowa Prohibitory Amendment League, to-day issued an ap- peal addressea to ‘‘Non-Partisan Prehibi- tionists,” in which he declares they should not vote for General Drake, the Republi- can candidate for Governor. The address is the result of the ques- tions which have been propounded to Gen- eral Drake on the liquor question from various sources and his answers thereto. The address declares that so long as the Republican party stood for State-wide pro- hibition the non-partisan prohibitionists could safely trast their work to its hands, but that they can do so no longer. Three issues, he declares, are involved in this campaign: First—The question of constitutional pro- hibitory amendment. Becond—Whether the State is to allow the manufacture of hiquor or not. Third — Whether or not the present “mulet”” hquor law is to be indorsed. After canvassing the position of the dif- ferent parties and candidates on this sub- ject the address continues: “Leaving Democratic candidates for ob- vious reasons out of the question, we can- not vote for Dr. Drake, however otherwise we might desire to do so. 'We ¢annot vote for any candidate for Senator or Repre- sentative unless he is pledged to vote for the pending prohibitory amendment.” M4 BIO.E SEFTON DEAD. Was One of the Oldest Actres American Stage. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 8.—Mrs. Marion Sefton, widow of John Sefton, a popular actor, well known in New York and Phila- delphia,. died at her home, at Navesink Highlands, N. J., on September 19, 1895, at the age of 85 years, 3he was born in Liv- erpool, England, October 9, 1810. Mrs. Sefton, whose maiden name was Mercer, was one of the oldest actresses on the American stage. She began her career st Montreal, and made her first appear- ance before a New York audience at the Bowery Theater, then managed by Wil- liam Hamblin, on Jnly 4, 1836, as Babetta in “‘Destiny.” She was then the wife of Thomas T. Watts, a writer and scientist, who was well known for his prominent as- sociation with Commodore Perry’s expedi- tion to Japan. In 1850 she became the wife of Mr. Sef- ton. While rchearsing at the old Wal- lack’s Theater, now the Star, for the pro- duction of Boucicault’s play, “The Jilt,” sbout twelve years ago, Mrs. Sefton met with a severe accident, throngh which she was oblized to retire from the company. Mrs. Sefton is survived by two children of her first marriage; a son, Thomas T. Watts of Navesink Highlands, N. J.;anda dnusgh- ter, Mrs. Marian Hill, who lives in San Francisco, and is the wife of Barton Hill, the actor. Mrs. Sefton was buried by the side of her second husband in Cypress Hills Cemetery on September 21. e s on the CUTTING WESTERN RATES. BScalpers to Be Benefited by the Harvest Excursions. CHICAGU, Iri, Oct. 8. — Chairman Caldwell of the Western Passenger Lines Association, was informed to-day that the brokers were reaping a harvest off tickets put in to-day on account of the first har- vest excursion of the series, which were up for discussion a short time ago. The rate to Denver was fixed at one fare, and $2 for the ruond trip, and points beyond Denyer one fare plus $5. Scalpers make the tickets to Denver, or some point close to that city, and then sell local tickets from that point to the destination, which must be west of Denver for them to make money out of the transaction. The lines interested have been notified and steps will be taken at once to- prevent the reafl: from being undersold by the brokers. A meeting of the Chicago-Omaha lines, continued from one held last week, was in session to-day, the purpose of the meeting being to prevent rate-cutting in the terri- tory inyolved. The meeting was unpro- ductive of any definite agreement. ———— OPENED A NEW HOME, Bettor Quarters for United States Sailors and Soldiers. MILFORD, NeBR., Oct. 8.—The dedica- tion of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Home to- day brought a large attendance from neigh- boring cities and towns, notably from Dh- coln, nearly ail the State officials being present. The exercises proper comprised remarks by Hon. H. C. Russell, chairman of the Board of Public Lands and Build- ings; G. A. R. dedicatory exercises by De- partment Commander C. E. Adams; an address by Governor Holcomb, formally placing the home in charge of the commandant, followed by short addresses from members of the Legislature, Visiting and Examining Board and other distin- guished guests. The home was authorized by act of the last Legislature and 1is in- tended to relieve the already overcrowded one at Grand Island. e Bodies in the Mine, % WILKESBARRE, Pa., Oct. 8.—Early this morning rescuers discovered the bodies of the men who perished by the ex- plosion in the Dorrance mine last night. The bodies, which were horribly burned, were found in one Jflace. The men had evidently been killed by the force of the explosion. The victims are: William L. Jones, chief engineer; Willlam Cahill and Llewellyn Owens, engineers, and Dan iel Davis. SEa N S ARREST OF FORGERS. They Posed as Agents of the Iilinois Humane Society. CHICAGO, IrL., Oct. 8.—Two forgers, said to be members of a notable family at Stockholm, Sweden, and who have been living luxuriously at a stylish hotel in this city, were arrested to-night. They have been posing as agents for the Iliinois Humane Society for four months, and it 18 said they have secured more than $5000 by bogus checks. All these checks bore the forged signature of Presidsnt John G. Shortall or W. H. Fitch of the Illinois Hu- mane Society, and were drawn on the Northern Trust Company or the Illinois Trustand Savings Bank ot~ this city. The checks were cashed in banks in many towns of Northern and Central Illinois. The forgeries were cleverly executed and very genuine in appearance. e LEAVES THE GREEAT NORTHERN. President Hill Will Resign About the First of Next Year. ST. PAUL, Mrxx., Oct. 8.—About the 1st of January President J. J, Hill of the Great Northern Railway will resign, and will, it is believed, be succeeded by his son-in-iaw, Samuel Hill. It is stated the reason for this action is to remove one of the objections to his obtaining control of the Northern Pacific, and that he is every day getting a firmer hold on Northern Pa- cific securities that his gaining control of that road may be the more speedily ac- complished. CAPTAIN BECK SUSTAINED. Important Decisions Relating to Winnebago Land Leases. The Federal Agent Now Has a Clear Right to Evict the Settlers. LINCOLN, Nesr., Oct. 8.—In the Federal court to-day Judge Shiras of Dubuque, Iowa, handed down two important decis- ions in the now celebrated Winnebago In- dian land cases. He finds in both instances for the agent, Captain Beck. In one case he dismisses the bill of Robert Pilgrim and others who sought to prevent Agent Beck {rom ejecting them from the land leased from the Indians. Judge Shiras sustained the demurrer of the defendants. This case involved the same principle as that of the Flournoy Land Company, which went to the United States Court of Appeals, and was there decided in favor of the Government. The second case is that of the United States vs. the Flournoy Livestock and Real Estate Company and about 250 ten- ants. This was an application for a man- datory injunction to prevent Agent Beck from leasing parts of the Omaha and Win- nebago reservations and to compel them to yield possession of landsoccupied. The demurrer of defendants is by Judge Shiras overrnled upon its merits. The decisions give Captain Beck full au- thority to eject every settler from the res- ervation who has not leased through him according to the rules of the Interior De- partment. Whether he will do this or allow the tenants to execute new leases through him remains to be seen. e Snowstorms in Michigan. MARQUETTE, Micw., Oct. 8.—A heavy storm, accompanied by snow, has been swooping over the upper peninsula since yesterday. The storm has extended over the whole of Lake Superior, and is now turning itself to Lake Huron. The after half of the hull of the steamer Ke. aw, containing the engines and boilers, was aislodged from the reef on which the steamer was wrecked a week ago and it lies in deep water. SAULT STE. MARIE, MicH., Oct. 8.— A northwest gale is raging over_ this aec- t on, accompanied by squalls and hail. —_—— To Run Fast Trains. OMAHA, NeBr., Oct. 8.—The Union Pa- cific and Northwestern contemplate a fast train between Chicago and San Francisco to compete with the fast train that will be put on by the Santa Fe, October 29. The train run by the Banta Fe will make the distance in balf a day less than the time now made, leaving Chicago daily at 6 ». M. and arriving in Los Angeles the third day at 6:30 p. M. The train proposed by the Union Pacific would be run in connection with the Northwestern and the Southern Pacific, and would be faster than the Santa Fe by several hours. —_———— The Amerioan Bottlera, DETROIT, MicH., Oct. 8.—The Ameri- can Bottlers’ Protective Association of the United States began its seventh annaal session here to-day. H. D. Wills, chair- man of the executive committee, made an exhanstive report. His report told that bottling laws had been passed during the past year in Arkansas, Minnesota and Oklahoma Territory.

THUNDER OF SALUTES. For Two Miles the Relic Passed Through Walls of Cheer- ing People. PLACED UNDER A BIG GUARD. Organization of Noted Women to Meet at the Cotton States Exposition. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 8.—The exposi- tion city to-day gave the Liberty Bell the most cordial greeting that the historic mass of metal has ever received. It was literally an outpouring of the people such as has never been witnessed here, and it would be impossible to conceive a more notable exhibition of patriotism. For fully two miles the bell train passed through solid walls of cheer- ing people. The Atlanta Light Ar- tillery fired the Presidential salute and the first shot was the signal for every steam whistle in the city to shriek outin 1ts discordant welcome. At the city limits Mayor Porter King and a big committee met the escort party, but there was no formal reception until the visitors reached the Kimball House, where they are com- fortably quartered. There Mayor King said a few words of welcome, which were supplemented by ex-Mayor Hemphill and briefly responded to by Mayor Warwick of Philadelphia. The bell stood for a time in the railway station, but later was taken to the shops, where it will remain under guard until to- morrow morning. To-morrow’s plans are for a most elaborate parade and a formal reception. The school children, local militia and several patriotic orders will join in the demonstration. There will be music by Gilmore’s band, singing by 3000 school children and speaking by some of Georgia's most eloquent men. Srel T WOMEN ORGANIZED.

NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct.8.—The United Btates receiving ship Minnesota was dis- charged from the service of the Govern- ment yesterday, and the stars and stripes which have proudly floated from her mast- head for more than forty years was taken down. The big ship has been lying for the last five years in the North River off the foot of Forty-second street. She was towed to the navy-yard last month for the urpose of being put out of commission. he ti‘- practically useless to the Govern- men The State of Massachusetts made appli- cation for the ship to be used by the Naval Reserve, and she will be sent to Boston very soon. The Minnesota was built in 1856-57 in the New York yvard, and was one of the first battle-ships built by the Gov- ernment. The vessel escaped the fate of her sister shipsat the battle of Fortress Monroe by the fortunate appearance of the ““Yankee cheese-box on araft.” She was dismantled in 1892 at the New York yard and made over into a receiving ship. Con- siderable money must be spent repairing her before she will be fit to make the trip to Boston. s MADE AT A LOSS. Exports of California Fruit to the British Isles. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 8,—Exports of California fruit,” said the manager of* one of the leading shipping firms of the Pacific slope to a reporter to-day, ‘‘have thus far been made at a loss. Fruit that has ar- rived in Loudon, Liverpool and Glasgow in good condition has been sold at excellent and profitable prices, particularly plums, Eucheu»-nd pears. Bo much of the stock a8 arrived at those ports in poor condi- tion, however, that the losses have more than offset the profits. ‘‘Pears have done exceptionally well in those markets this season, on account of the failure of the French crop. There is a great and growing interestin transAtlantic markets for California food products, and it only remains for some inventive anhu to devise some means of refrigeration by which the fruit may be safely transportea to cause a tremendous expansion of the California fruit export trade,” To sum up the situation, it can be said that the-only serious barrier to a large and profitable extension of the California fruit trade with the United Kingdom is the lack of adequate refrigerating facilities. e e O Fell a Hundred Foet. CHICAGO, Irr., Oct. 8.—This morning while four persons were ascending in the {reight elevator in a building on Franklin street the cable broke when the fourth floor as reached, and the elevator fell a hundred feet. Two of the accupants were fatally injured and the other two so seri- ously hurt that they may die. e S Schooner Blewn dshore. ALPENA, Micn., Oct. 8.—The large steel schocner Tyrone went ashore early this morning at Presque Isle Point. She was bound down, ore laden, in tow of the steamer Nimick.

C., Oct. 8.—Owen Jones, a lunatic from New York State, called at the White House to-day to see the President. He presented a newspaper poem, the burden of which was that a boy was wanted by the executive family, and in all seriousness, offered himself for adop- tion or employment in that capacity, to- gether with a letter stating that he could wash dishes and make himself useful in other ways. As Owen had prefaced his coming by a threatening letter to one of the White House employes who had pre- vented his admittance to the mansion on a former occasion, he was taken into custody by the police. e Al Pacific Coast Patents. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 8. have been issued as follow Reed, Concora, cultivator; Milton A. Clen- nan, San Francisco, assignor to Weston Basket and Manufacturing Company, metal-cutting for folding-machine; Hugh Gaw, San Francisco, coupling; Charles P.

MUST MEET THE BONDS, Treasury Officlals Confronted by an Embarrassing Matter. Interest on Rallroad Securitles That Cannot Be Pald When Due. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 8—The Treasury Department is confronted with an embarrassing matter in the necessity of providing funds to meet obligations of the Government growing out of its relations to the Pacific railroads. Within the next few months there will fall due $8,640,000 of bonds issued on account of these railroads. They are as follows: November 6, Kansas Pacific bonds, §640,000; January 1, Central Pacific $1,600,000, Kansas Pacific $1,440,000, and Central branch Union Pacific $640,000; February 1, Union Pacific, $4,320,000. Notice has' already been given that the $640,000 due on November 1 will be paid on that date; but the payments in January and February are more serious questions. These amounts, it is nunderstood, were not included in Secretary Carlisle’s calculation upon which he based his estimates of re- ceipts and expenditures for the current year, and if some means could be found to obviate the necessity of disbursing that amount of cash they would be gladly wel- comed. The Secrstary will doubtless rec- ommend in his report to Congress that leg- islation be passed by which the bonds can be refunded at a lesser rate of interest; but the very brief period which will intervene between the date of assembling and that of the maturity of the bonds, as well as the opposition which any proposition re- specting the Pacific railroads debt always evolves, precludes the possibility of any- thing being accomplished that will relieye the treasury situation. Cadets for the Naval Academy. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 8.—The fol- lowing named having successfully passed the September examinations have been appointed cadets to the Naval Academy: J. C. Muir.

HAVANA, Cusa, Oct. 3, via Key West, Oct. 8.—Cablegrams from Madrid state that the Government announces in a positive marnerthatatan early date the Province of Santa Clara will be pacified and under law and order; that soon thereafter complete peace will be restored to the island of Cuba. It is rumored that the Canovas Ministry will not announce reforms for Cuba, but instead will instantly introduce radical reforms of an economical and administra- tive type for the betterment of the colony. It is said that Senor Sagasta and his Liberal tollowing will introduce a pro- gramme of their own for Cuba to op- pose that announced by the Conservative party. The epidemic of smallpox continues. No steps are being taken to check its rav- ages. The local authorities, including the Board of Health, are doing nothing. The import of the disease to Cuba is very seri- ous, owing to its large number of blacks who are peculiarly susceptible to the mal- aday. Vaccination is not general, nor is it compulsory, The Government has increased its dona- tion of $5000 to the sufferers by the floods in the Vuelta Abajo district to $50,000, in view of the extent of the suffering.
