INDIANA CRANKS.
Prohibionists Unable to Agree ON
Campaign Programme.
They Finally Hold Two Conventions at In
dianapOlis Yesterday.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 24.-The Indiana pro-
hibitionists were unable to agree ON the pol
icy to be pursued in the present canvass,
and as a result the representatives Of the
party held two conventions in this city to-
day. One faction headed by NJ. Z. Shiels, E.
f. Ritter and others fayoling the nomination
OF state ticket, assembled in English's
Opera house and organized by Selecting
Secretary E L. Ritter. permanent chairman.
Mr.. Ritter on taking the chair delivered
a speech urging the nomination of state
ticket. A long and spirited discussion en-
sued on the resolution pledgng the conven-
ton to support the ticket and platform, and
a resolution to that effect was finally
adopted. About forty members declined to
be bound by this action and left the hail. A
communication was received from the anti
state ticket convention asking a conference,
which request was at first laid on the table,
but this action was subsequently recon-
sidered and a conference committee was ap-
pointed. Nothing was accomplished, how
ever, by the conference.
The following nominations were made:
NVNCiuol, II. -. w hiSSlusI ucul SONeTuOr,
L. G. Siler; secretary of state, B. F. Carter:
auditor, Eli Miller; treaurer, A. j. Taylor;
Judge of supreme court. f. P Hammond:
superintendent of public inspection, K. T.
Brown.
The state central committee was instructed
to name candidates for attorney general and
presidential electors. Adjourned.
The platform denounees the old parties for
failure to recognize prohibition, favors wo-
man suffrage, demands that the effects of
alcohol on the human system be taught in
the schools. Charges the last legislature
with treachery in refusing to submit the
pending amendments to the constitution,
aud demands the enforcement of all existing
laws.
The faction opposed to the nomination of
state ticket assembled in the Grand Opera
house and was called to order by Z. 3. Rey-
nolds. permanent Organization was ef-
fected by making Wm. Camback chairman.
\ proposition looking to harmonious action
with the Shiel convention was adopted, and
a conference committee appointed, but the
conference was futile
DR.. Hauser addressed the convention and
charged that Shiel WAS acting fraudulently
The meeting finally determined to organize
a constitutional amendment association, the
object being to secure the election OF mem
Der of the legislature who win vote for cou-
stitutional convention, thus affording the
ProhibiGonists opportunity to express their
views at the polls. Adjourned.

Dingley Shipping Bill Sat Down On.

PHILADELPHIA, July 24.-When the time
arrived to-day for the steamship Illinois, OF
the American line to sail for Liverpool, the
crew declined to 60 aboard, and were joined
by the walters iremen cooks and messmen.
Their action was caused by the determina-
ton of the company to take advantage OF the
Dingley shipping bill, which gives the Amer
ican companies the right to ship crews al
either or both Of the ports between which the
vessels run. When the American sailors re-
allied they either have to take discharge at
Liverpool or return home at 81 per month
less wages (rates paid English sailors) they
decided to strike. The company advertised
for men to ship from Philadelphia to Liver
pool instead of for the round trip, but al
though many landsmen applied, the com
pany were unable to enroll acompetent crew.
AT II a. m. the Illinois has all her passen-
gers on board and cargo valued at $3.50, 600,
but there is no likelihood Of the sailors sur
rendering and the company yielded. The
strikers struggled in one by one and signed
the papers on the old plan and at the old
wages, threw off the ship moorings and were
soon on the way to sea.

GOODS ADVANCING.
Elu,ter In the Leather Trade

There is boom in the leather market
Within week prices have advanced to 10
per cent, and leather men predict rise of
10 per cent. more. For years past the leather
maiket has been depressed, and leather dealers
have had hard time getting along. Men went
INTO business on borrowed capital, and, run
ming at loss, made it impossible for legitimate
dealers to compete with them. These men
failed in time, and their failures cleared the
air and lessened production. The importation
of foreign hides has fallen off 80 per cent.
Nearly 100000 hides less than was imported
in 1881 were imported in 1888, There was a
cutie epidemic in South America in 1881 and
1882 and more cattle were slaughtered for
their hides. There is no epidemic now. AS a
result Of these and other causes, the stock of
leather in sight has been growing gradually
smaller and smaller None of the buyers seem
to have taken alarm until recently. The man
uiaciurers finding they must pay moro for
stock, at once advanced their prices for their
goods, the advance being 81 case. This
means a rise OF about 5 cents on shoes and
8 IL cents pair ON DO rs, wholesale.

Poor Peonle Starving.

The poor families of Jersey City, N. j., are
in a great state of excitement over the sudden
stoppage of their supplies. Nine hundred poor
families, including over three thousand people,
have been dependent upon the assistance fur
nished them by the overseer of the poor for
their living for the past year, and the supplies
have been suddenly stopped. Meanwhile
the poor families are suffering terribly
for food. hey call ON the overseer every
day, but he has nothing to give them
and they have subsisted now for days on almost
nothing. Many of them nre at the point of
starvation, and are suffering the most acute
fortunes from hunger. If the relief money does
not soon arrive it is said many of the sufferers
will shortly die from starvation.
