Mrs Ira Jockey, wife of one of the leading
citizens of Bloomington, occurred this after
noon. She was sister of the wife of Hon.

II. o. Hoffman from the pulpit of the First
NJ L. Church. of which Mrs. Jockey was
member, by her request Hohfman's presence
in this pulpit occasioned a great commotion
among Bloomington Methodists, which in all
probability will reopen trouble in the First
Church accustomed two years ago by Hoff-
man, who was then its pastor, being sus-
pended on the charge of lying, seduction,
adultery and bastardy with Zetta Robinson,
his former domestic. This was followed last
October by his expulsion from the ministry
and church by the Illinois Conference at
Lincoln. This morning there was spirited
discussion among the trustees in which Hoff-
mans pariisans finally won. and in the alb
sence of Rev. Iglehart. pastor, Hoffman
entered the pulpit. His enemies are greatly
shocked. and there is every indication that
heavy storm will soon burst upon this
devout congregation. Hofman's opponents
denounce the affair as an outrage and des-
ecration while others look upon it as the
greatest victory Hoffman has yet won since
his decapitatiou.

VIENNA Oct 25.-The Emperor received
the Austrian and Hungarian delegates to-day.
He declared that the relations of Austria
and foreign nations were ntirely satisfactory,
and that the people of all countries felt
strongly the need of peace. Austria's
efforts have ever been directed to that end,
as peace enabled the government to give in
creased attention to the material interest Of
the country. While reforms in the army
would require additional expense he hoped
that the tranquilzation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina would lead to the reduction of
the army in these provinces.

Cincinnati News-Journal.
Last night about O'clock, Lieutenant
Dunn arrested a man named Edward Jones,
and locked him up on suspicion at Central
station. When arrested the prisoner was
considerably under the influence of liquor.
He is suspected of being implicated in the
brutal beating of an aged couple living a few
miles from Greencastle, Ind, on Tuesday
night last. He seemed very reticent as to his
history, but when questioned by Lieutenant
Dunn. he finally admitted being at Green's
burg, Ind, but would not say exactly when.
The heartless wretch who perpetrated the
outrage mentioned above was described as
Kentuckian. In this respect another clew to
his identity is furnished as Jones stated that
he was from Lexington. The authorities of
Greencastle were imm ediately telegraphed to
by Colonel Reilly, and in case he is the right
party it will fare rather bad with Mr.. Jones.
