In Honor of Father Merz.

special to the Indianapolis Journal
VINCENNEs, Oct. 2I-An entertainment as
novel and surprising as it was enjoyable, last
night, took place at st. Johns Hall, corner of
Main and Ninth streets. The affair was secretly
planned by the societies and members of st.
Johns Catholic Church, and was given in honor
of Rev. Father Merz, who has been wearing the
robes of priest for the last quarter of a
century-twenty- years as pastor of
st. John's Church, this city, and three
years in Madison, prior to his arrival here
The hall was crowded to overfowing with peo-
ple and when Rev. Merz was notified that his
presence was desired Immediately he was non
plussed, and on being ushered into the middle Of
the assemblage he became bewildered. Subse-
euently an explanation followed and in few
weil-chosen words Rev. Merz expressed his ap-
probation Jeweled presents amounting to hun
dreds of dollars were showered upon him, and a
feast OF edibles and drinkables such as never
graced a festal board in Vincennes was tempting
ly spread before him as we'll as other guests
The floral decorations were exquisite, and the
music furnished by the Union band, which was
present in full uniform was very fine. A feat

Ex-Township Trustee Charged with Bribery.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
trustee of Niles township, this county, is now
in custody at Winchester, having been arrested
upon warrant charging him with attempted
bribery. Mr.. Mcdonald has, until recently,
been held in high esteem in this county. He
was prominent politician, and several times a
candidate for representative and county auditor.
Failing of election, he engaged in the sale of
school supplies for a Chicago firm, and it was
while working this interest that he managed to
do that which has resulted in his arrest.
Some months ago he approached trustee of
Randolph county, and attempted to sell him
bill of maps. AS an inducement to the trustee
to buy, he offered, so it is alleged, to sell the
goods at one price, and receipt the trustee for
much larger sum, allowing the trustee to pocket
the difference between the purchase price and
the amount receipted for. The trustee was not
to be tempted with such bait and instead of &C
cepting the proposition, swore out warrant
against Mr. Mcdonald, which led to his arrest.
He is now in custody of the officers, hunting for
bail, to avoid temporary stay in the county

COM MERCIAL.
OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT,

CHICAGO, September 2S. 1885.
The farmers of the West have evident
ly begun to sell some of their wheat, as
receipts are increasing slightly. The
wheat prospect as whole is considered
strong one. Ii prices are not rushed
up here too strong by the spectators
and England does not 60 back on US
by refusing TO purchase, and there is no
reason why she should, there will be
better prices later in the year The
market to-day was somewhat weaker
and unsteady. Corn is also weaker
and lower, under the influence of large
receipts and a decline in provisions
The farmers seem anxious to get rid of
their cid corn. hence the large receipts.
The oat market is quiet and prices re-
main about the same. Rye is quiet
with light receipts which keeps prices
up. The butter market is rather slow,
the demand being limited. Eggs sell
at good prices. Poultry is only in
small demand and prices somewhat
lower. Vegetables slow. The receipts
of cattle to-day was 5000 against S,S42
last week at the same time. There is a
good fresh dressed beef trade. and this
class sell at as high prices as has been
quoted for some time. Texans arc in
small demand with large supply on
the market. The hog market is rather
irregular On best heavy shipping lots
prices are higher, but on rough and
common there is limited demand
and low prices. There are liber-
al receipts to-day of sheep and prices
are inclined to be lower.

DIR. Charles V. Art1 performed very
delicate surgical operation upon Mic
Seaburg Tor ssrangulated hernia He

er had any difficulty in reducing it when
the bowels came down. Last Monday
morning he was doing some heavy lift
ing and soon began to suffer with pain
in the parts, which would sometimes
grow easier and shsn return with in
creased pain. DR.. Artz WAS summoned
Wednesday afternoon and readily found
the cause of trouble. After thorough
trial at reduction. he informed Mr.. Sea-
burg that no help could be offered save
an operation which would probably be
serious in its results, owing to his weak
ened condition from extreme suffering
He was removed from camp and
brought to the Commercial hotel, where
DIR. Artz, assisted by Geo. Kinney, Jr.,
medical student, performed the opers-
ton. After cutting down on the parts the
bowels were found in an extreme state
of Inflammation. The bowels were
wrapped in warm cloths and sponges
for an hour aud then returned into alb
dominnl cavity. Tie wound was prop
erly dressed. Mr.. Ssaburg rallied from
| the operation and has made rapid pro-
| gress toward recovery.
