The caucus of the Republicans Of the
Senate met at noon, the 4th, Senator Sher-
man in the chair, and proceeded at once TO
consider the question Of the election OF
President pro TEN. Of the Senate. Mr.. Ed
munds stated that last summer. when the
Republicans of the Nation in their coneen-
ton nominated Gen. Logan for Vice presI-
dent, he, tMr. Edmundsl had thought II
right TOW ards Gen. Logan and towards the
party that he should retire from the pres-
dency of the Senate and that Gen. Logan
should be chosen in his place and as they
all remembered he had communicated that
opinion and desire to The Republican Sena-
tors in formal way. hut it was thought at
the time that no change should he made,
especially as General Logan did not wish II

In ,tis state Of things he thought it right
that Republican Senators should renew that
expression Of confidence in General Logan
bN nominating him for President Of The
Senate. and he accordingly moved that Gen
eral Logan be SO nominated by accismaiion.
Several Senators spoke briefly IN favor OF
the nomination and the question was put

Subject What we owe to revivals.
The text is picture from the life Of 5000
christians in Jerusalem, and shows nearly
all the good features of a revival. A reviv-
al is general and unusual interest in per
sonal religion. 1t has been the mission of
revi,als to check irreligious and immoral
tendencies in churches and communities. and
to lifi society to better life. Pen,ecost, the
reformation, the revi,als of the times of Bax-
ter ard Bunyan, Of the Wesleys. Whitfield
and Edwards. and Of the first half Of this cen
tury, broke in upon periods Of marked dearth
Of religious life and Of wide spread gross i'm
morality. In each case the badness Of the
times was bettered not by long process of
cultivation. but by mighty awakening of
religious impulse. |, Is conclusion that
presses upon our Judgments with the weight
OF eighteen centuries Of well established
fact behind ii, that if our community Is 10

and God and Christ. AMI rescued from the
curse Of immortality. it will be through a

A Deer and Two Indians Fall Vic.
Tins to a Lads Rifle.
Special to the Globe.
MARsHFIELD, Wis. Dec. Ga startling
tragedy is reliably reported to have taken
place about ten miles west of this city in
dense forest near the village of Nasonville
on Tuesday last. 1t seems that lad about
16 years old, named George Anderson, was
hunting deer. accompanied by his hound,
and succeeded in striking a trail. This
he followed for some time and On starting
the deer he fired twice, badly wounding the
animal, which at once dashed away pursued
by the dog. Anderson followed the trail
and after two hours tramp came upon
two Indians busily engaged in dressing the
deer where it had fallen. They had pre-
viously killed the hound and
proposed to convert the deer.
Young Anderson, nothing daunted,
demanded his property, which they refused
to give up. He again told them unless they
desisted there would be trouble, when one
of the braves drew a large knife and adj
vanced on the lad, threatening to kill him
unless he at once left. But the boy, though
young in years, did not scare, and on the In
dian continuing to advance he fire, shooting
him dead by bullet through the heart.
AS he fell the other Indian jumped for his
rifle, but young Anderson was too quick
and shot him through the head. killing in
stantly. The boy at once went to the set
Element and related what had taken place,
which was generally discredited, but
party on going to the scene of the affray
found the bodies where they had fallen.
No arrest has been made.

A Costly Fire.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Dec. 6.-The oil
mills of I. P. Mills & Co., located at the
intersection of South Delaware street and
the Union railway tracks, were destroyed
by fire this afternoon. The mills contained
about 100, 900 bushels of flax seed and
25, 900 gallons of oil. A stiff gale was
blowing from the west, causing the fire to
burn with great ferceness. and for time
there was danger of the flames spreading to
adjoining property, in which event great
confagration would have followed. By
hard work on the part of the fremen, sew
eral of whom were slightly injured, the
flames were confined to the building in
which they originated. The loss will ap-
proximate $150,O00. On this there is
insurance to the amount of $115,000.

Notice is given of the suspension of the is
suance of 81 and 50 notes and the saving
effected thereby. The treasurer recon-
mends that he be given authority to make
frequent examination of subtreasuries. in
order to hold the officers to more strict
accountability. It is also suggested that
less money be issued to subtreasuries and
that methods of payment be restricted. He
recommends that payments of pensions be
be made by treasmer's check. He suggests
the diScOntinuance of gold and silver certif-
icates, the latter because they hinder a free
circulation Of silver dollars. He believes
these coins to be too expensive and cum
bersome. and though every effort has been
made to circulate them success has not
been achieved, the vaults and subtreasuries
being overloaded with them. AS S31, 1885,

it is recommended that further coinage be
suspended and all further demands be sup
piled from this store.
