THE INSULT TO ALFONSO.

The Spanish King Satisfied the Action of
of the French Nation.
LONDON, Oct. 1.-The Paris correspondent
of the Times says: king Alfonso is per-
fectly satisfied of the good faith of Prime
Minister Ferry as representing the French
Government. The King does not admit for
L moment that the spirit shown on Saturday
by the mob, which was excited by false
statements of anarchist agitators, represents
the french Nation. In abridging his stay in
Paris by one-half the time intended the King
desires to diminish the difficulties that have
arisen from his visit.
Marquis De LaYera de Armijo, the Span
ish Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the
Spanish Government entirely agree with the
decision of the King to leave Paris. Alfonso
was quite unaware of his appointment to
the Colonelcy of the Uhlan Regiment until
he received it and his uniform simultane-
ously. Emperor William intended the ap-
pointment as an agreeable surprise. He
would not lend himself to anything that
would be likely to excite prejudice against
one for whom he had taken an exceptional
liking. Bismarck had nothing 10 do with
the appointment. Alfonso and the Duke of
Co nnaught exchanged visits Sunday. Presi-
dent Grevey went TO the depot Saturday to
greet King Alfonso Reluctantly, but if his
manner appeared cold his words were cor

showed the Archbishop had advanced soms
money, and the Church was liable for that
amount to the assignee. As to Cathedral
and Cathedral School built by the Arch
bishop directly from funds placed in his
bands, except about 10000 raised by sub
scriptions, the Court held that, though the
Archbishop held property in trust, as he did
other Churches, yet to extent of the amount
advanced the assignee wasenttled to recover
with interest for the benefit of creditors
The Orphans Asylum at Cumminsville was
also declared trust not subject to sale,
and the mortgage given by Archbishop
Purcell on it. to secure a creditor,
was declared of no binding force. The same
view was taken as TO st. Mary's Cemetery,
with an order for reference to the Master, to
ascertain if the Archbishop made any ad-
vances to this property. As TO the eeme-
teries the majority of the Canrt held that
they were not dedicated 10 the public; that
CONSERVATION did not amount TO dedication,
and that such portion as was not sold for
burial lots could be sold for the benefit of
creditors. Judge Johnson dissented as to re-
ferring the pieces of property 10 the Master
for an account, and dissented wholly from
the view that the cemeteries were not dedi-

An Investigation Into an Oil Company's
Afairs-Some Savory Revelations.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 1.-TWO or three
years ago the Auditor General of Pennsyl-
vania believed the Standard Oil Company OF
Ohio was not paying enough tax to Pennsyl-
vania for business done within her borders
and set about Investigating Careful inquiry
led to the development that the corporation
owed the State about $3, 900, 900 unpaid taxes,
and the matter was placed in the Attorney
Generals hands for collection. Suit was
brought, but the evidence was not forthoom-
ing at the trial, and the State got final YER
dict for only $21, 900. The business of the
Standard Oil Company in the State is done
principally over the Pennsylvania Railroad
and branches. which set the President of the
opposing Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
to inquiring, who reported to the Governor
of the State that q man named Patterson
had been bribed with a few thousand
dollars to withhold important tes-
timony By recommendation OF the
Governor the Legislature appointed an In
vestigating Committee, but nothing import
ant has been developed. At the session to-
day the principal witness was Palmer, Attor-
ney General when the suit was brought, but
he was deploiably ignorant, from the fact
that when he was Attorney General, at an an
nual salary and perquisits of $4,000, his
Deputy Lyman D. Gilbert did nine-tenths
of the work, and was about the only legal in
dividuai who knew the real facts in the Com
monwealths case, so Palmer could truthfully
answer all the questions and reveal nothing
of moment. Gilbert was also on the stand,
and swore that he knew of no money being
used in the settlement of the case save as he

BUTLER TO TALBOT.

The Governor Charges that CrOOkedness is
at the Bottom of the Refusal TO Permit
Him to Examine Certain Books.
Boston, Sept. Ex-Governor Butler has sent a
letter TO Ex-Governor Talbot in reply to Talbous
refusal as Chairman of the State Board of Health,
Lunacy and Charity to deliver to the Governor
certain books of accounts kept by Wheelwright,
superintendent of the Outdoor Poor. The Governor
asserts his right TO audit accounts under the Con-
stitution and intimated that the reason for with
holding said books is because the accounts Of
monies discussed have not been honestly kept If
Talbot really claims that the Supreme Executive
Magistrate can not be permitted to see the books
of accounts OF Executive Boards and Officers Of the
State, the Governor says he can understand why
more of the abuses that existed during Cover
nor TalbOtts administration of the executive
Office were remeded or discovered. The Governor
says he was trying in obeying Talbotts request TO
prefer charges against WheelwIight, and endeavor-
ing TO get at facts by examination OF the books so
that charges could be nteligenty preferred If true.
hut the books are refused him. These obstruc-
tions simply tend to show that there something
wrong in the accounts which must be covered up
at all hazarCs.

THE COLORED PEOPLE.

An Attempt to Bring Politics Into the De-
Iiberations of the Convention HOwled
Down.
LOUISVILLE, Sept 26.-The colored Conven-
tion is given over to resolutions and bum
combe. After dozen attempts to resolve as
many sentiments this morning the following
was offered:
Whereas, The Administration of President C. A.
Arthur is in harmony with the grand old Republi-
can party, therefore be it
Resolved, That this National Convention OF
lher heartiest support
This caused the widest uproar and the
Convention was on its feet. The South and
West hissed the resol olution, while only few
from the North and East appeared to favor
it. Personal violence was offered in one in
stance and the widest uproar followed. But
finally the resolution, on motion of Herbert,
of louisiana went to the Committee on ResO-
lutions.
No expression Of opinion has yet been
reached, and it seems unlikely that any will
be. owing to the propensity of the entire
Convention to talk at the same time. En-
tiTely too much oratorical ability is present
for any business to be transacted. A strong
feeling exists to adopt Fred Douglass speech
as the sentiment OF the colored people of the
| Union, and have the same transmitted to
Congress.
a Kentucky delegate moved the following,
which caused great uproar:
Resolved, That the eolored people Of the United
States, in Convention assembled, do affirm de-
Yoti0n anew TO the Republican party, and will use
our utmost endeavors for its continued ascend
ency and control OF the National Government be-
eving it 10 be for the best interests of the whole
people.
The Convention refused to adopt the reso-
luton, many protesting against bringing
politics into the deliberations of the body,
and only wise decision of the Chair send
ing the question to the Committee on Reso.
lutiOns saved the Convention from a split.
The Convention this afternoon accepted an
invitation of the General Managers and Yis-
tied the Exposition in a body. Tonight a
long list of speakers are named to address
the Convention and actual business for the
time is in allegiance The chances are fair
for adjournment without further actual re-
| suits -
At late hour tonight the Convention
adopted an address expressive of their views
and sentiments.

Suicide.
Special to the Sentinel:

Special to the Sentinel:
GREENsBURG, Ind, Oct. IA heartrend-
ing scene occurred here to day. AS the North
bound train on the Vernon, Greensburg and
Rushville Railroad was leaving this city
near the crossing of the railroad
and West North street. She seemed at first
to run, and then to hesitate, until the engine
was within a few feet of where she stood.
Then, with a spring, she threw herself in
front of the train. She was struck in the
head by the pilot, and her clothing becoming
entangled, dragged some hundred feet.
An examination of the body re called the
fact that all the bones OF the sktll were
crushed, the scapula and clavicle broken,
also the humerus. The bones of the right
lower limb were broken in several places.
notwithstanding so many injuries, only a
single wound was visible when placed in the
coffin-a cut on the forehead.
The victim of this fatal accident is Mrs.
Emma Brickel. She was the daughter OF
Rev. Gray, Baptist preacher of this COM
munity. She was married to Robert Brickel,
a drayman, March, 1880. at the
age of fifteen. The Clerk of
this County refusing to issue the
necessary license, it was by misrepresenta
ion procured in Ripley County. A child
Recently, some troubles having arisen, Mrs.
Breckel instituted suit for divorce.
On the stand she testified that she had been
the victim of bad treatment and neglect.
She stated that her husband had, in impera-
tive terms ordered her to contribute to the
support of the family. She said that he
sent men to her, and then claimed the
money, which was from sheer necessity the
price of her disgrace.
The divorce was refused, and when Mrs.
Breckel left the Court Room she said: well
there is a way to get rid of him."
Brickel, on examination. said that there
had been some domestic trouble, alleging
that his wife had been off on a trip with one
Davis, but that after the divorce suit they
yesterday met, made il up, and
agreed to live together; that he left
her money to purchase some things
to-day. 1t was shown that Mrs. Brickel.
early this morning, threatened suicide. She
asked for paper and wrote a note. saying it
was for Bob, and that if her body was not en-
tirely cut up. he could find it after her
death. The Coroner found the following

SITTING BULL.

He Will Not Enter the Catholic Church
Because of His Polygamous Views.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept. 26.-The ceremony
of receiving Sitting Bull, the great Indian
chief, into the Catholic Church, which, it was
anticipated, would take place this week at
Fort Yates, has been indefinitely postponed
because Sitting Bull can not make up his
mind which of his two wives he will let go.
The forms of the Church forbid a communi-
cant TO haye more than one. Bishop Mortv
has had him under his care for several
months. and his instructions were being
rapidly absorbed by the chief, but a separa-
tion from his wives proved too much and he
will probably return to heathenism.

cell ct al, which was an action by the as
signee to obtain judgment Of the Court as
TO the liability of the Diocesan Church
property to pay the debts of the late Arch

magnitude. The hearing occupied three
months ending in June, 1882. 1t has been
under consideration till now. The opinion
was delivered by Judge Smith, beginning at
2 o'clock. 1t occupied nearly two hours.

the Churches though the title was in fee
simple in Archbishop Purcell, yet they were
built from money raised by members of diff
ferent congregations, and that the title was
in Archbishop by reason of the rules OF the
Church. which, in such case as this, the Court
is bound to regard, that Archbishop held the
title only as trustee for the uses of the con-
gregation, and that the property so held could
not be subjected to the payment OF the debts OF
the Archbishop. In the case of one Church the

presence of Governor Butler was announced

he was escorted to the platform. After the
applause had subsided ne addressed the Con-

and good government had ratified the nomi-
nation last year. 1t now remained for him
to give an account of his stewardship He
had made recommendations. but not one of
those recommendations passed the Legisla-
ture, which sat longer than any Legislature
ever sat before and much longer than he
hoped any Legislature would ever sit again.
One of his recommendations was TO pro-
tect passengers on railway trains from muir
derous distractions. As it was the recon-
mendation OF the Executive of course it did
not pass. Butler. protesting to feel no
anxiety for his own election, begged his
hearers to send him Legislators this time
who would would have minds OF their own
and not have to run to the Republican State
Central Committee before making up their
MINDS on any topic. Butler reviewed all
his acts as Governor, and continued:
