THE secretary of the committee of one
hundred publishes card to the effect that
Mr.. David w. Coffin, who was chairman of
the grand jury that indicted the tally-sheet
forgers and conspirators in May. 1887, was
not at that time member of the committee
and did not become so until October last six
months after his service on the jury. When
on the witness stand Mr. Coffin was not able
to answer exactly the time at which he be-
came member of the one hundred commit
tee, and upon the fact that he was now a
member the able lawyers, who practiced per.
sonal denunciation and Democratic politics
in the name of law, proceeded to denounce
Mr.. Coffin and insinuate all manner of things
against his honorable character and conduct.
Now come the facts in the matter, and knock
the wind out of all these beautiful and effect
i've bits of invective on the part of the
forgers' defenders.

THE M. E. CHURCH.
Completion of Arrangements for the APP
preaching Quadrennial Conference.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Arrangements are
already being made by the Methodist Episcopal
clergy and laty to prepare for the general con-
ference of the church, which is to meet in this
city in May. The general conference is called
only once in four years. and the coming one
will probably be the largest that has ever been
held in this country. There are to be $50 dele
gates from al! parts of the United States, and
among those already elected several women,
who will occupy for the first time seats in a con-
ference of the Methodist Church. The Rev. DR..
A X. Sanford said to-day that the Metropolitan
Opera house had been secured for the meeting
of the conference The delegates will Noccupy
seats in the body of the house. and only the
delegates and officers of the church will be adj
mitted to this portion of the building The
bishops and invited guests will be seated
on the stage. All the boxes to be rented
out to members of the church who desire to hold
them during the conference. About fifty of
them have already been secured by people Ii wing
in and about New York. A few have been taken
in the Western cities. Dr. Sanford has been
receiving many letters daily from ST. Louis,
Chicago and Cincinnati in regard to the arrange
ments More than 2, 600 seats will be open with
out charge to the members of the Methodist
Church.
All inquiries in regard to the arrangements
should be addressed to the Rev. DR.. G. Nj. Phil
lips, or the Rev. DR.. A. K Sanford. at the
Methodist book room. No. 805 Broadway. Some
Metropolitan Opera house. but no more trail
and convenient place could be found Besides"
added minister to-day. Il guess that few old
Methodist hymns and one or two genuine old
Methodist amens coming up from the corners Of
the house will make everybody feel at home"

CRUSHED BY ICE.
Serious Loss Inflicted by Movement of the
Mississippi Ice Gorge at st. Louis.

ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 3L-The ice gorge which has
formed in the Mississippi river in front of this
city began to move at midnight last night, aud
drifted down stream about three hundred yards,
lifting two steamers out of the water, slightly
injuring them, when the immense weight was
checked and remained intact until o'clock this
morning. when the January thaw loosened the
great mass. and it slowly crashed down upon
nearly ST. 500, 900 worth of property, which it IS
now slowly grinding into ruins The gorge ha.
been forming for ten days, and every means has
been taken to dislodge it, but in vain. The great
cakes, fifteen to eighteen inches thick. have
piled upon each other. forming solid mass
from bank to bank, several hundreds yards deep
and from eighteen to twenty feet thick. The
mild weather has rotted only the upper layer,
grind the many steamboats, and barees that are
tied close in shore. Already several barges have
been sunk, and the steamers Tamm, Matte Bell
and Hayes have been sunk. The Hayes is a
large excursion steamer. the properly of the
Anchor line. 1t is total wreck, 10 probably
broken in two, and stove in. She lies near land,
with only her upper deck visible. She is side

view,' the Presbyterian Review" the
Church Review" and others will indicate. It
may be remarked, however, that the Critic
writer is evidently not in search of religious
news when he reads his Sunday paper or he
would find plenty of it, and thus be saved the
exposure of his ignorance by the production of
such foolish editorials. Newspapers of the
best class, which is, of course, the only
kind the Critic man reads, report all the re-
Iigious news of the day.

LAST spring everybody thought Indianapo-
lis would soon begin to reap the benefits of
natural gas. Not only has it reaped no benefit
yet, but nearly 81, 900, 900 has been invested
in the business without returns. The Indian
apolis company has invested about 5000. 900,
the Capital City and Broad Ripple companies
have absorbed a considerable sum, and the
Trust company has collected about $135, 000
while not a little money has been invested by
our citizens in natural-gas tow4is in the State.
The withdrawal of all this capital from the
ordinary channels of trade is felt. The sooner
we begin to get returns the better.

and their duty was to inspect the shipment OF
arms for the Sultan's army from the Peabody

and with their gaudy Oriental costumes caught

them married Providence girls, and are now liv-

very effectual reply to the reiterated asser-
tions of the Sentinel. These were calculated
to create the impression that Mr.. Messick
himself was induced by the unfortunate death
of his mother to join in verdict
which his judgment and conscience
did not approve, and that he played
on the feelings Of other jurors to
induce them to do the same. His manly let
ter brands the statement as "false from begin
ming to end" Whatever doubts the Sentinel
may have as to the justice of the verdict. it
will be observed that Mr. Messick has none,
for he still abides by his decision. Though a
Democrat, he says he will not uphold fraud
in a Democrat or Republican. Well said. Mr..
Messick is evidently an honest man, and we
are glad to believe there are thousands of
Democrats like him-honest men who will
not uphold fraud in politics. The masses of
the people in both parties are honest. Rascals
are the exception, and while they and their
sympathizers and defenders are too numerous,
they are still greatly outnumbered by the
honest men. The Journal does not know Mr..
Messick personally, but his letter shows he is
an honest man, Democrat from principle,
and not a defender or apologist of fraud.

THE NIAGARA ICE BRIDGE.
Fantastic Winter Scenery-Trees, Rocks and
Cliffs Coated with Frozen Spray.

NIAGARA FALLS. Jan. 31.-Thousands of ex-
cursionists crossed the Niagara ice bridge this
afternoon, most of them coming from Buffalo
and vicinity, although there was large number
from New York and Jersey City. They found
the fantastic winter scenery at its best, Luna
island being arrsyed in frosty grandeur. The
ice bridge is not SO large as that of 1852 when
some parts of il assumed iceberg proportions,
but it is made up of sufficiently large glaciers to
be an interesting sight The water poured over
the cataract with the same dull laundering roar
as it churned up huge cakes of ice
which the swift current had brought to the
rapids from LAKE Erie. The ice foe extends to
very near the foot of the falls, and goes some
distance down the river. Near the center some

Bi,ten bv a Rabid Dog.

DETROIT, Jan. 3I.-The latest mad dog sensation
is furnished by the town of Otisville, small
village near Flint On Thursday last a large
dog. which was confined in barn with calf,
made a furious attack upon the latter, literally
chewing it to pieces. The rabid dog then es-
caped from the barn and ran through the streets
of the village swapping at or biting every per-
son with whom it come in contact An old man
named Fuller WAS badly bitten in the leg by the
enraged animal. and Nelson Valentine and lit
tie four-year.old girl named Wisnsr were also
unlucky enough to feel the sharpness of the dogs
teeth. The dog. which to all appearances was
suffering from a fit of rabies, was finally killed
but not before it had bitten cutie a number of
other dogs in the village. The victims Of the
affair are under care of physicians. who are
using every effort to save their patients from the
terrible fate which to all appearances threatens
them.

JUROR MIssIcK,s TELEGRAM.

The Sentinel, in its efforts to break the
force of the verdict in the tally-sheet case,
has persistently misrepresented the position
of juror Messick. 1t was he who received a
telegram, pending the deliberation of the
jury, announcing the death of his mother.
The Sentinel has stated that Mr.. Messick
used this to work on the sympathies of other
jurors, thus forcing a verdict, and that he
said this induced jurors to vote as they did.
The following letter from Mr.. Messick fatty
denies this statement and defines his position:

AND now it is said Simeon Coy is conf
dent the jury in the late trial was "tampered
with" fixed" for conviction Some mems
minds turn instinctively to fraudulent meth
DDS as the only means of accomplishing ends.
Who shout tamper with the jury in the
interest of conviction? The government, the
judge, the district attorney, or ''old Bill Hen
derson?" Hardly. The only ':ixing' the
prosecution was concerned about was to get
an honest, impartial jury, and prevent them
from being approached and influenced in favor
of the defendants, as was done in the first
trial. Mr.. Coy's mind runs too much on
fixing things. He does not seem to have
learned yet that there is such a thing as fixed
