Special 70 the indianapolis Journal.
PLAINFIELD, Sept 90 To-day was Jubilee
Day" of the Western Indiana Yearly Meeting Of
Friends. and the crowd outnumbered those Of
all former years A gentle shower last evening
settled the dust, and cooled the air. and with a
lovely day to-day. all had combined to increase
the crowd Over wel-kept roads, and on heavy
laden trains the people poured in until after
noon, when the crowd was estimated at l3, OOO
At o'clock devotional exercises were held,
with David Douglass, of Maine, as leader. The
house was crowded and much religious interest
was manifested. At 10 o'clock there was preach
ing in the tabernacle and at two outdoor stands
Probably five thousand persons listened to the

the tabernacle during the morning: jeremiah
Grinnell, of Ohio; Joseph p. Cosand, of Kansas

cred at the south stand by Mrs. Sarah Jane
Weaver, of New York, and John P. Dorland, of
Canada At the north stand there were sermons
by Elwood Scott, of Illinois. ami David Doug
lass, of Maine. The principal sermon was by
Mr. Douglass. 1t was a powerful effort, and
awakened great interest in his thousands Of
hearers. He took his text from First Timothy,
iv, 8-"Bodily exercise profteth but little. but
goodness is profit il all things" At the close
of the sermon many came forward and pro-
fessed conversion and others sanctifcation.
In the afternoon Eli Sharpless of Jamaica,

and Levi Gregory, of Kansas, conducted the
services in the morning. and Eli Sharpless and

CITIZENSHIP OF INDIANS.
The Pueblo Tribe Enter Protest AgainS
Being Assessed for Taxes

WASHINGTON, Sept ia delegation of
Pueblo Indians from the vicinity of Albuquerque,
N. NJ, called on the Commissioners of Indian
Affairs to day for the purpose OF protesting
against their recent assessment for taxes as citi-
of the Territory. These Indians were citi-
zens of the Territory, and in the treaty by which
New Mexico became part of the United States
the citizens of the coded territory were not to be
deprived of the rights of their citizenship
These Indians have been citizens Of the United
States during all these years. but they have been
regarded as other Indians who are not cit-
zens. They are entirely independent of
government aid. This year. for the first
time. the New Mexico government
decided to assess these Indians, thus recognizing
their status as citizens. TO this the Indians OBJ.
ject, the tax would be burden on them. and
they prefer to live the other Indians, without
exercising the rights of citizens. They will have
interview with Secretary Lamar on Monday
One phase of the case is the fact that if these
Indians citizens they have the right to vote
and if this right is exercised it will bring into
New Mexican politics element of between
1000 and 5000 voters. The local politicians ap-
preciate the latter fact.

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.
No States Made and No Plans Matured-Great
Uncertainty as to the Final Result.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept 20.--Delegates to the
State Republican convention are arriving very
slowly. Tonight there are not more than three
hundred of them in town. No caucuses will be
held before to morrow night when it is expected
all the delegates will be on the ground.
1t is said by delegates now here
that never before in the history of
New York politics have the Republicans
been so slow in maturing their plans;
that there is absolutely ground at this time
upon which to form an opinion as to who will be
nominated. Among those known to be candi-
dates are James D. Warren. of Buffalo, late
chairman of the State committee; Jos. w. Drex-
ell, late of Drexel, Morgan g. Co.; Judge Noah
Davis. VIM. H. Seward. Hon. Levi P. Morton
and Secretary of State JOS. B. Carr There
are several others who will not possibly receive
more than complimentary votes. The workers
of the party do not hesitate to say that there is
not yet any programme. and that the probabili-
ties there will be none until all the delegates
have arrived and conferences been held.
All delegates profess to be for har
mony and the best possible candidates.
The upper-county delegates appear to be relying
on the New York delegation to present name
upon which they can harmonic, and the city
delegates say the name must be that of New
York city 1t is believed the result will be
the selection of candidate from that city,
although there are many here who think favora.

A. j. Kraft a saloon keeper, has been made
postmaster at Saline AS there is more money
IN the saloon business than in the postoffice

having their wives and children go to the saloon
to get Kraft to go the postoffice every time they
had business there have arranged for the mail
to be left at the business house of Hitz & Bro,
and Kraft is very angry that Republican

He Was Captured in Female Attire Accord.
ing to the Capturing Officers Report.


Washington Special.
Ever since the capture of Jefferson Davis there
has been a dispute as to whether he was dis
guised in female attire when captured. Mr.
Davis has always denied the charge with great
vehemence. His last denial has been prin ted
within few days. To put an end to all con-
troversy upon this subject, General Drum has
permitted to be printed the official report of
Lieutenant colonel Pritchard the officer in com
mand of the troops which captured Davis. The
paragraph in the official report bearing upon this
subject Is as follows:
81 received orders from the War Department,
through General Miles, directing to procure
the disguise by Davis at the time of his
capture and proceed TO Washington and report
to the Secretary of War. Accordingly / went
over to the steamer Clyde and received from
Mrs. Davis a lady's waterproof cloak or robe
which, Mrs Davis said, was worn by Mr.. Davis
as disguise at the time of his capture and
which WAS identified by the men who saw it on
him at the time. On the morning following, the
remainder of the disguise was procured, consist
ing of shawl, which Mrs. Davis identified and
admitted to be that worn by Mr.. Davis These
articles l brought to Washington. and turned
them over to the Secretary of War; and thus
closes my account of the capture and custody, up
to the time of his being turned over to the
United States authorities, of the great conspira-
tor and traitor, Jefferson Davis"

the bonds the books fail to show, but it is
supposed that they, too have ad-
eaesson money hsr. upon whsre is tine
money! Even if he paid the face value for the
trustees bonds. there would still be money left
when the $32, 500 of deposits are taken into ac-
count. The affair has o very dark color now
and why was it that he made an assignment
swearing that he owned so many bonds and
notes, when in reality they were held by banks
for amounts in excess Of their valuef Why was
not this matter explained before his departureE
The opinion is gradually settling m the minds of
the people that they have been duped, bunkoed
and deceived oy the oily tongue of the sanct-
monous banker. Mr.. Cook was treasurer of the
Presbyterian Church. and took great interest in
all things relating to the welfare of the church.
1t is now known that at the time he came here,
opened bank in rented building, and
deposits flowed in; he made money, and
bought a lot, and erected the bank build
ing. Deposits increased and for year
his deposits aggregated $50, 900. He then erect
ed handsome residence and furnished it in the
finest style. He lived without any great show
or pretense, and was regarded AS good business
man. At the time Of the failure of the bank of
Fletcher & Sharpe, of Indianapolis, Mr.. Cook
daily expected to close his doors, as depositors
were calling for their money. But the heaviest
depositors drew out nothing and he weathered
the storm. This fact was obtained from Frank
Leake, the clerk in the bank. There were some
special depositors, it is understood, and they
suffered also, their money being placed with the
general deposits. Rev. Gumsant left 5000
with Cook, which he promised to loan for him
upon mortgage security, but this money wac
also placed in the general fund. Depositors
were deceived by Cook, who assured them that
he had lost but q few hundred dollars in
fraudulent trustees orders. ard in one case that
OF John II. Cox, treasurer, he had drawn his
check tor ST. 600; but upon these representations,
he tore the check up in the presence of the lying
banker.
Bets are offered on the street that Cook will
never return; yet they find no takers, though
offered at rate of two to one Mr.. Cook is
member of the Knights of Pythias and had
over 81, 900 of their money in his bank Mrs.
Featherfeld, widow of this county, lost all she
had, and she went to see Mr.. Cook yesterday to
try so get some money. She asked for twenty
five cents, and was told that he had not single
cent in the world. Mr.. Cooks clerk says that he
has gone to Toledo to get money with which to
make a settlement with his creditors. Yet if
such was the case, he would no doubt have been
proud of his departure. instead of sneaking out
of town like an escaped felon.
