The Union stoclsyards and West Indlanap-

oils. 5eG
The other day in entertaining the Airline
visitors various. institutions of Indianapolis
were enumerated by the orators Strange TO
say not a word was said of the Union Stock
yards, which, in the number of men it employs
and the large and varied interests that are con-
nected with it, is the most important in
dustry in this city, bringing more money into
circulation than any other interest The yards
furnish employment for ESQ men, and give the
farmers hereabouts a ready market for corn and
hay, of which they buy immense quantities to
feed the stock that comes in. Indianapolis got
all the benefit of the establishment OF the yards
and the improvements cost over million
dollars. The Union Stockyards have made West
Indianapolis. Five Years ago there was hardly
a house between Belmont aud the Morris-street
bridge; now there is thrifty village of over a
thousand residents, which in less than three
years will probably treble its population There
is prospect that next fall a large slaughter
house will be bnlt near the stockyards by New
York and st. Louis capitalists, who will kill and
dress beef to ship East in refrigerator cars.

Monsienor Capel in Chieage.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Monsignor Capel,
the renowned Catholic pulpit orator
and lecturer, arrived from st. Louis
over the Chicago g. Alton railroad
at 7:45 p. m. A delegation of five gentle
men representing the Union Catholic
Library association, consisting of Messrs.
Thomas Brennan. Schweisthal, Joseph
Mcdonald, Joseph Elder and W. Carroll, met
the reverend gentleman at Lemont, and ac-
companied him to the city. Shortly before
arriving in the city the monsignor,
learning that he was to be tend
cred d reception in the hall Of the
Union Catholic library, donncd his purple,
soutanne and stock, in order to save time,
and put on a long black oyercoat reaching
to his ankles, and the broad brimmed Roman
clerical hat, with the golden band and tassel
of an officer of the papal household. This
odd yet distinguished appearance caused no
little curiosity and speculation as to his
identity among the crowd in and about the
depot. He was driven TO the Grand Pacific,
and after supper to the Roman Catholic Lii

and reception. He viii lecture here on

IAN Indiana Trngedy.

ELmwooD, Ind, Nov. between Il and
IL o'clock Elmwood was startled by pistol
shots and the discovery that James
Kempt, the night Waterman, was shot
and probably fatally wounded. The
facts are hard TO learn, but as near
as they can be gathered are as follows:
Kempt was under the influence of liquor, and
went into James Blacks saloon eager for a
row. Not wishing to have any trouble
with the guardian OF the peace
Black tried to get him to leave
the place, and, on his refusal, took
him by the collar and elected
him. Once outside, with a loaded cane, he
began breaking in the windows of Blacks
saloon The proprietor ordered him to stop
or he would shoot. The breaking continued
till Black took his revolver and, stepping to
the door, fired a shot which struck Kempt
in the pit of the stomach, bringing him TO the
ground. The wounded man was taken to his
home, and viii probably die.

commenced belaboring him numerically
over the head and shoulders, he retreating

below and finally escaped her. Mrs. Caskey

The Sage Horatio seems to Think

CINCINNATI Nov. 1.-Ths EnGuirer,s New
York special has the following as part of an
interview with Hon. Horatio Seymour on
current topics: What would you think OF
the old ticket, as it is called, Mr.. Tilden and
Mr.. Hendricks
''As have said, am not in a position to
judge on that subject, but do hope a man
of experience in public affairs may be
selected. Very much is said about the old
ticket, and objections are made to Mr.. Tlden
on account of his health. 1t is alleged that
he is infirm Now / do not know that Mr..
Tilden either seeks or would accept the nomi-
nation, but / don't regard the health
of man 50 allimportant in the
performance of the duties of
his Office as the fact that he is conversant
with public affairs and familiar with the
subjects he is likely to he called to act on 1t
is striking fact that the only two persons
whose lives were destroyed by the pressure of
presidential duties were two sturdy soldiers

with the requirement of his office could
better administer the duties OF the presi-

special features of its own has taken place in
this county Thirty-five years ago John
Bantwell wooed and wed Miss Jane Camp
bell, near Elamville. After few months
welded life the couple parted, owing to the
wife's jealousy of her husband. Mr.. Bantwell
took up his residence in Dale county, where

family, and accumulated a competency.
Mrs. Bantwell remained in her old home, and

emergency he went to his first wife, repre-
sented his situation and urged her to resume
their relations which had never been legally
broken off, and thus, by taking advantage Of
the laws protecting the wife in the home
stead, he could keep out Of ruin. The lady
agreed 10 the proposition, aud tho couple are
now finishing the honeymoon so rudely in

The Case Against Carpenter at Lin
colin Lacks Strength.

CHICAGO, Nov. Professor Wheeler has
sent telegram to the authorities at Lincoln,
announcing that there is no blood on
the reins and other harness sub
mitted to him for examination He says he
has tested the matter microscopically chem
ically and with the spectroscope. The recent
supposed clew in Richmond, Ind, where
ring was reported to have been found with
Zura's name on it is discredited by the asser-
ton of Mr.. Burns that Zura had no such
ring.
A correspondent telegraphs: While the evil
dence already introduced is calculated to
create suspicion that Mr.. Carpenter was con-
cerned in the death of the girl, it does not by
any means prove single point against
him, and at the same time is
all of such nature as to
admit of ready explanation. II

Patterns ali HTaae--SOme
Itesns OF Their Con-
sfructiOn.

New YORK, Nov John Roach was
found at his Office at the Morgan Iron WORKS
by a press reporter and asked:
Mr.. Roach, what progress are you max
ing with the three steel cruisers and the dls-
patch boat which you are now binding FOR
the government
1.-THE blocks and foundations are laid for
all four and one of them will have all her
framework up next week. The specifications
call for better steel than ever went into any
ship in any country. One-third of the mate
rial for the whole four is now made. The
patterns are in the foundry for three of the
ships, and part of the large forgings is
made for all. They will all be finished within
the required timen
How is it, Mr. Roach. that you were able
to bid so much lower than any one else for
the contract for building the cruisersF
"Simply because J make everything per-
tanning to ship. | take the ore and turn
out ship. / thus get profit ON every part,
and though much may not be made on one
part, in the aggregate of profits / get fair
return Matchmaking is a new industry in
this country, and | am the only ship
builder that has steel plant in his own
yard. Mr.. Cramp complained, when the bids
were opened, that the steel-makers from
whom he got bids asked him cents pound
more for steel than my estimate. As there
are to be 1900, 900 pounds of steel in the four
ships, this would make difference of $780,
900 in the cost of che material alone. /. how
ever, by making the steel myself, am able to
bid that much less and yet to make profit
II see that one of the Democratic papers Of
this city says am to get 5000, 900 for the
cruisers and the dispatch boat. The fact is
that am to receive So 400, 900 for them, and
am ready to build more at the same price,
Are you doing much repairing for the
government How?"
'For the past five years have done 5000
worth of repairs for the government. What
have done has been of nature that could
not be done at any other ship-yard on the
coast
"Will yon bid for the seven new cruisers
recommended by the advisory board!"
20 Yes, if congress decides to build Them"
" The price of steel having declined, can
the proposed cruisers be built any cheaper
than those already ordered p
" No; the decline is so small that it viii not
materially affect the cost of construction"

carried into his pulpit large, roughly
drawn map of the Sixteenth ward of Brook
Ign. During a vigorous sermon on Temper
ance and lnte1hperance,n the Plymouth
pastor unrolled this map and shook it ener-
getically at his large congregation.
The map was 50 thickly dotted with
large dark spots that it looked like a
piece of spotted muslin. Each black
spot Mr.. Beecher explained, represented q
licensed liquor saloon. 50 Look at what our
commissioners of excise consider necessary
for the welfare, comfort, sustenance, eduea-
ton and piety of the Sixteenth ward, said

that not all Of these saloons are places where
Intoxicating liquors can be procured A
large proportion Of them are only beer sa-
loons, and we know that nobody ever gets
