Scarcity had sat down with her usual
impassiveness when Elijah had begun his
little speech, and her countenance as be-
proceeded gave him no ENCOURAGEMENT to
express himself as warmly as he did. She
continued unmOved, holding her sunbon-
net In her Lap for full ten minntes-which
time seemed to Elijah ten ages as he
thought of his own and his ehldren's fu-
ture being weighed by Scarcity's practi-
cal balances.
At last she spoke, and what she said
was this:

Ike Dixon, the william who was caught
in the act of outraging his nine-year-old
daughter, on Friday night, had q hearing
before Mayor Keller yesterday afternoon,
and was held to court for the sum of $500.
Marshal Burns took him tOSt. Clairsville
at once for fear some harm might be done
TO him if he remained in the Martins
Ferry prison another night. Some few
people yesterday expressed the opinion
that the account of the outrage published
exclusively in the REGISTER yesterday
morning was exaggerated little, but the
testimony brought out in the hearing made
the reporter feel that the item had been
handled entirely too tendeIly.

The communication printed below is a
timely one, touching subject often dis
cuSsed among people of small means, who
desire to put away for future use some
portion of their weekly earnings, Cannot
some of our banks afford the needed con-
venience?-ED. -,
10 hc Editor OF The Register:
SIR:-FOr the benefit of the working
men of this city | would like to inquire
why it is that so large place has no saw
ings bank or similar institution where the
working man can deposit his earnings OF
Saturday evenings As the matter now
stands one must either spend his money
Immediately or carry it around from week
TO week and run the risk of losing it, or
leave il at home i'll his trunk, IN easy
booty for the petty sneak thief.
1t occurs to me that some arrangement
could be made which would benefit all
parties concerned. Could not some of the
banks arrange to receive deposits every
Saturday evening say until o'clock, thus
giving the laboring class chance TO save
their money? One connOt afford TO loose
time to 20 to the bank during banking
hours and on the other hand he must eth
er do that or carry his money around with
him. Give us n savings bank.

than toward war. 1t regrets that the re-
latiOns existing between England and
France are not Of the best, and oounsels
the press of both countries to endeavOr to

The Journal des Debdts lectures the Lon
don press on seeking pretexts to embitter
relations between France and Germany,
and ridicules the assertions that France is
desirous of provoking war with Germany.
The principal German papers also deride
the views OF the English press, denying
that there is any fear of war, and charg-
ing England with wishing to profit by
sounding rerdnche alarm.

Mr.. Judd'S Proposition Rejected by the
Convention.
CHICAGO, October 16.-The galleries
and lobby of the Central Music Hall We're
crowded to the utmost, this morning, when
the Protestant Episcopal Convention
opened, rs it was known that the great
debate on Mr.. Judd's proposition to drop
the Protestant Episcopal" in designa-
ting the church, would close. Morning
prayer was said by Rev. Hobart ChetwOOd,
of California. and the benediCtion was
pronounced by Bishop Tuttle Of Missouri.
The discussion was opened by Or.
Stringfellow, of Alabama, who argued for
poStpOnement of the consideration OF the
question on the ground that the time was
not ripe. Rev. Mr.. StOddard, OF Northern
New Jersey, held to the same view. Mr..
Mcconnell, OF Louisiana, bitterly opposed
the proposition to change the name Of the
church. and DIR. Sheffield, OF Virginia, took
the same view. The debate was then
closed by Mr.. judd, who cOntended that
the opposition did not represent the pro-
gresSive spirit which should actuate the
church. The church should take on its
broad and true name, and this was not to
be cOnfounded with ROmaniSm. Mr.. Judd
spoke for twenty minutes considering the
question from all points, and when the
hour of IL o'clock had arrived the debate
was declared closed and the ballOting com
menced amid absolute silence
The names of the clerical delegates were
called first, and were quite evenly divid-
ed OH the proposition, but the sentiment
of the lay delegates was generally opposed
to the proposition. The vote By diOceScS
was as follows: Forty-nine diOCeSeS voting,
a majority of the clericalS in II dioceSes
voted aye; ANA jority voted no i'll - do
ceses, and 10 dioceseS We're evenly divided.
In lorty-four diOceSes the majority Of lay
delegates in IL dioceses voted aye and i'll
20 dioceseS voted no, and in four were cv-
euly divided The total vote was: Ayes.
l12: nays, 1S5. The Southern delegates
generally voted in favor of the resolution,
and the Eastern diOceSeS against it. The
comparatively strong vote in favor of the
proposition was surprise to the conven-
! tiOn.
The report of the Joint Committee on
| Liturgical Revision was submitted and
laid on the table to await the action of the
House of Bishops. The report isene ofun-
usual length, embodying numerous me-
MORALS for a revision of the prayer book.
The convention then adjourned until next
Monday.

The first topic at Yesterdays session of the

waukee, who has taken up the work inter
rupted By the death OF Helen Hunt Jack
son. gave thrilling narrative Of the pit
iful condition Of affairs in Southern Cal
ifornia. as witnessed by her. She thought t
the case almost hopeless, unless first
clsss and incorruptible attorney is obtained
to conduct the fight to regain possession
of the lands from which the Indians have
been driven.
Senator Dawes thought the passage OF
the bill in the House, in reference to their
case. would right their wrongs without
hiring IN attorney. Several persons eN-
preSsed the opinion that it was useless to
await Government action. The question
of hiring counsel was finally referred to
special committee.
The remainder of the session, which
closed the conference, was devoted to the
discussing of various phases Of the queS-
ton of Indian citizenship and civilization,
and to reports of the work done by auXu-
liary societies. Judge Campbell, OF Phlla=
delphia. read n telegraphic correspondence
between Secretary Lamar and the Prlncl-
nal of Lincoln Institute, arranging for the
pIaciup of a large number of Apache
children there. The conference adopted a
statement calling on Congress to pass the

ton bill, and the bill for extending la"
over all Indians, and demanding that the
nrovisions OF the Civil Service be extended
