SuIcIDE.-A young man by the
name OF Noah w. Cummings, living
about ten miles north of town, COM
mitted suicide at 8 o'clock Tuesday
morning near the home of his pa
rents. He was but twenty five years
Of age and was, SO it is reported, a
native Of this territory. He was
closely pushed in money matters
and this drove him to his end. He
at first attempted to hang himself,
but the rope seemed unwieldy and
was thrust aside. He then secured
an old 80 calibre ''Red Jacket" re-
volvcr, and with this rusty weapon
he sent a ball through his heart.
Coroner Cone at once visited the
spot but no further details were dis
covered. His body was buried on
the home claim. -B,ule Inder.
The young man mentioned above
is the son Of Caleb Cummings, who
formerly lived in this county, near
Richland, and the young man, we
believe, was born ON the farm now
owned BY Geo. r. Freeman.

Amendments to the Constitution in
Order.
RICHMOND, October Is. - The dele
gates were early afoot this morning and
unusually prompt in their attendance
at Armory Hall. The most important
work of the convention was begun yes
terday, when the general-master work
man declared the amendments to the
constitution in order, and was sustainrd
in his decision by the assembly, despite
the objections of a few. This work OF
amending the constitution was resumed
this morning, and prosecuted through
cut he session.
The proposed amendment to the con
stitution, extending to two years all
general officers, excepting those mem
bers of the cooperative board, was
taken up and adopted. The term OF
members of the cooperative board re-
main as at present. When that matter
had been disposed OF, the regular order
of business was suspended, and the gen.
ersl assem- bly, proceeded to the election
of general officers. General Master
Workman Powderly and General
Worthy Foreman Griffiths were re-
elected to the Offices they have already
held for seven consecutive terms.

CHICAGO, October 13.-The tri-ennial
session of the National Congregational
Church met at Chicago to-day at the
Union Park Congregational Church.
There were between 400 and 500 dele
gates present. Nothing was accom-
plished at the morning session, there
being considerable differences of opin-
ion as to whether the report of the COM
mitree on credentials should be read or
whether the convention should perfect
its organization. The friends of Pro-
lessor Smith were in favor of the latter.
The convention without coming to any
conclusion adjourned until pm.

erous. but do not feel able to take the policy
now"
During our conversation" continued the in
surance agent General Logan referred in an
indirect way to his age, which believe to have
been about sixty three, and the fact that he ap-
peared to have long life before him. He spoke
of looking so hearty, but I inferred that he did
not regard the day of his dissolution so distant as
people generally believed"
Since the campaign of 1884 Senator Logan
had spent much more of his time than he did in
former years at his home. He could be found
there at almost any hour when not at the
Capitol, if in the city. He seldom appeared at
receptions, dinners aud other places more or less
public in character, and seemed to release some
of his hold on the currency of everyday life.
Whether, as has been stated, he found solace
in his reelection and freedom from
presidential aspirations or more happi-
ness in his home than in the company
of public men, he seemed to enjoy life
more thoroughly during the past year than be-
fore. He had become closer student in lit
erature during the past three years than ever
before and was found poriDg over books at his
home when other Senators were at public recep-
tions etc.
No other Senator would be missed more than
will General Logan. He was eve prominent in
the counsels of his party and in the debates on
the floor of the chamber. His Judgment was al
ways sought in legislation, and seldom was there
action among Republicans till he was con
suited. Very like in this respect were Logan
and Sherman.
tits believed that there will not be any political
disarrangement by the death. The Legislature
Of Illinois, which meets in January, is Repub-
lican by safe margin The name of Charles
B. Farwell, the well-known merchant of Chi

cessor. Mr.. Farweli served several years in the

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 25.-Dr A. P. South
wick, OF this city, member of the commission
on capital punishment, appointed by the Legis
iature to report substitute for hanging con-
victed murderars, was asked to-day what the
general sentiment appeared to be- DR.. South
wick replied that electricity seemed to be the
most acceptable substitute for hanging. Neither
the prussic acid poison nor the garrote suggest
ions meet with any favor. A few advocate the
guilotine, but that is barbarous mode of exc
cnton. The general sentiment in this country.
as well as elsewhere, is that capital punishment
is unnecessary "The plan / favor as a substi-
sute for hanging said the Doctor, 'is that of
IN arm chair with metal arms. The condemned
would be seated in the chair, and at the proper
moment receive a full electric charge which
would pass straight through his body across the
chest. and death would be instantaneous A
dynamo of forty-two borse power would be suf-
Hcient to accomplish tho work"
Among the replies received by the commission
10 their circular were three from Judges Haight
and Barker, of the Supreme Court and Judge
Hammond of Erie comfy, who are opposed to
4ny change in the present system of capital
punishment as hanging if decorously con-
Quoted, meets all the requirements.

of bis illness and that the prayers Of the church
was the first announcement made by any mem
Der of the family of the critical condition of the
Senator, although it was well k1own that
he was in immediate danger. as the
rheumatic fever, from which he has been suf-
fering for weeks, had assumed a form which
affected his whole system, and at times he was
delirious from pain and exhaustion. The Rev.
DR.. Newman, the pastor of the church, at once
dispatched a messenger to the suburban resi-
dence of Senator Logan and to the Office of DR..
Baxter, the attending physician. to ascertain
the exact situation. Just before the benedic-
tion was pronounced the messenger returned
with two messages one for the public and one
for the pastor. The former was that Senator
Logan was passing the crisis and was in
dangerous condition. but the family hoped he
would recover; the latter was to the effect that
the Senator was probably dying, and that there
was scarcely any hope that he could survive
more than very few hours. After the an
nouncement was made that the Senator was in a
critical condition and the family desired the
prayers of the church. all heads were bowed in
almost silent, but earnest, prayer. The minis
ter very fervently implored divine visitation,
and asked. if it be the will of the wise
and good One, that he be spared.
There were many eyes filled with
tears when the service ended. All had seen

long existed between the jackson and Frvar
families. Fryar was arrested and nut under
