Special to the Indianapolis Journal

Newkirk, Connersville; Captain Carson,

Melender.
On Saturday the conference met at $780,
wit Bishop Foss in the chair. The resolu-
ton of the lay delegates asking the confer

A Great Day Among the Richmond Quakers
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Sept. 1910 judge by the vast
number of people who visited here to-day
the population of all the cities within hun
dred miles of Richmond was greatly de-
creased. Never has this city been so overrun
with visitors, save the big day during the
last Presidential campaign, when Sherman,
Blaine and Conkling were here. The ex-
cursions from indianapolis, Ander-
son. Piqua, Portland, Dayton
and Cincinnati brought not less
than 5000 people, while the country for
miles surrounding Richmond must have
been almost depopulated for not less than
500 to 1000 farmers buggies and carriages
were on the street during the day. The
meeting-hou which holds $500 people,
was filled during all the services, and the
ministers who spoke from the stands
on the grounds were listened to by
thousands of persons who were unable to gain
entrance into the house. None of the out
as many times was the case in former years.
Though great preparations had been made to
accommodate the visitors, it is a mystery
where all the people were fed. The streets
were blockaded with vehicles, and the side
walks were almost impossible. The
absence of drunkenness and vulgarity

concealed weapons. 1t was soon learned,
however, that notorious criminal charac-

in self-defense. Spurrier and former con-

robbed, and while Jewett was being held up
and his pockets were being rifed Stump re-
covered sufficiently to pick himself up and

He went after a load of wood. Becoming

he heard a scream. Then he looked at his

great contest for the national con-

have literally swept the deck.
and taken that State entirely and
permanently out of the doubtful
