G. A. R. CAMPFIRE.

A Pleasant tEvcning-Reception TO John A.
Logan, Jr.-Spoeches and Songs.
Last night was the occasion OF very
enjoyable campfire at G. A. r. hall. A
very large crowd was present, and an
entertaining programme rendered. The
entertainment was given by the G. A. r.
posts, the Ladies Relief Corps and the
Sons Of Veterans jointly, and it was in
the nature Of an informal reception to
Mr.. John A. Logan, jr., son OF the late
distinguished "Black Jack, OF Illinois,"

presided, the guest OF the evening was
Introduced to the assemblage. Mr.. Lo-
gan was greeted with enthusiastic
cheers from the veterans present, many

of the gallant General, acknowledged
the ovation in few brief, patriotic SEN
tences, that were received with great
applause, the many ladies present con-
tributing full share. "Tenting on the
Old Camp Ground" a song that never
fails'to win applause from gathering of
old soldiers, was then sung, and DR.. I. o.
Edwards made splendid speech, setting
forth the object and aims OF the order OF
the Sons OF Veterans. His remarks were
heartily applauded, The balance Of the
programme consisted of rccitations,

hour spent in pleasant social intercourse,
music, speeches and handshakes, the

WrNNIPEG, August 2O.-The Manitoba
Legislature, which assembled yesterday
was called by Premier Greenway to rat
ify the contract made by him in New
York with the Northern Pacific Rail :
road and the purchase and operation of
the Red River Valley, the line built by
the Manitoba government TO compete
with the Canadian Pacific for the north
west trade. The defeat OF the govern
ment on the question is considered GER
tain, and II Premier Greenway persists
in his determination 10 stand or fall by
the contract he is likely TO vacate the
treasury benches. W. =. Clougb, Vice
President OF the st. Paul, Minneapolis
& Manitoba Railroad, arrived here from
st. Paul last night, commissioned by his
road to make IN offer for the Red River
Valley line. This offer he will present
TO the Legislature to-day, and ii is diff
cult to see how thePremier can refusedto
accept it. It's terms are much more fa-
Yorable than the Northern Pacific agree
ment. One important feature Is that
the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
will keep the line open TO all cOmers,
giving running powTs to every Ameri-
can rRilroad wishing TO enter Manitoba
and not even excluding the Northern
Pacific.

dreds of farmers from Northern Indiana

fore Waldron's bank at o'clock yester-
day morning. They had been led to be-
lieve that Cashier Northrup would have
5000 for distribution, and that first
come first served would be the order Of
the day. The Preston bank, OF Detroit,
has $1,000 which belongs to depOsitOrs

dale lawyer who was Waldron's partner,
and who will lose about $500, 900 by the
missing banker, has tied up the money
in Detroit, and has also levied on Sl0,-
900 which the Reading bank loaned the
Salmon P. Chase bank, OF New York.
It is believed that Mrs. Bidwell, the
married woman with whom Waldron
WAS infatuated, and with whom he has
eloped, has the banker completely in
her power. He has given her two large
sums Of money, and advanced the capital
on which her husband recently began
business. She is twenty.four years old

woman OF great beauty. The defaultel

in cash as a plaster for his wounded
feelings. The eloping couple were las

New YoRE, August GA wealthy

dered in Belgium last March. The
scene OF the tragedy was Langerburgge,
near Ghent, on the banks OF the canal
Ternersen. The victims skull was
crushed and he was robbed OF 800 francs
and his body flung into the water. The
murder was a mystery 10 the authors
ties. Light was first thrown on the
tragedy on August %, in New Orleans,
In, when black-haired, swarthy fel-
low, who looked like n tramp, delivered
himself up to the representative OF the
Belgian Government and declared that
he was the murderer. In sworn con-
fession before q notary he said his name
was Jean Francois Stegaert, that he had
murdered the merchant, expecting to
realize big sum OF money, and had
thrown his body into the canal. He
then fled TO America, and after being in
New Orleans few weeks his conscience
troubled him so much that he had to
make clean breast OF it. He wanted
to be sent back to Belgium for trial.

ANNOYING TUE DEMOCRATS.

The Excessive Expenditures During Cleve.
lands Incumboncy Causing Them Worry
WASHINGTON, D. c., August 90
Three or four points made by Senator
Allison in his long and interesting state
ment in regard to the appropriation bills
give great annoyance to the Democrats,
Chief among them was the fact which
has been much discussed, but not hither'
to formally and officially stated, that the
appropriations amounted to n round
SG2l 200, 600, that the estimated revenues
amount TO only $40, 100000, and there,
fore that the surplus would be but $l9,-
100000. To remedy this enormous
whiting down of the main argument
for reduction OF the tariff, the Demo
Gratis are endeavoring 10 cut Off appro-
priations which are really necessary.
In other words, they propose to save
money that oughtto bespent, and which
it would be wise economy to spend, fol
the sole purpose of increasing the idle
surplus in the Treasury 10 such dimen'
sions as will reinfuse, with some sort Of
life and sense, their arguments in favor
OF reduction of the tariff on account oi
the surplus of from $lOO, ,0O0,0O to $780,
100000. To accomplish this they are
forced to administer n slap in the face
to every head OF the department and
bureau, whose duty it is to make esti.
mates for the guidance Of Congress.
Senator Allison showed that in every
case the appropriations proposed fall
much short OF the official estimates, IT.
therefore, the Senate insist upon much
more liberal appropriations than the
House, it merely furnished the amusing
spectacle Of the Republican branch oi
Congress being more nearly in accord
with the Democratic administration than
the Democratic branch.
Another statement not at all relished
is that the expenditures during the in
cumbency OF Mr.. Cleveland already ex'
ceed by nearly slO0,0OO,0OO the expendi,
lures OF the entire term Of Garfield and
Arthur, and this notwithstanding the
veto OF a SIG 1000, 900 riveraHd harbor bill

the commanders OF various military de-
partments OF the United States, with u
request that after examination they
wouldsubmit suggestions looking to im-
provements in existing laws, which ac-
ton was earnestly approved by the
President. A majority Of these officers
expressed the opinion that the present
pension laws are amply sufficient for ev-
cry emergency, aud nearly all were OF
the opinion that rigid physical ex-
lmination should be conducted.

WORK IN INDIANA.
The Republicans Stirring ThemssIves-A
Drsperntn Democrntlc Fight.

INDIANAPOLIS, INb., August 20.-The
Journal says: Nearly two months have
elapsed since General Harrison was NOM
mated, and but little more than two
months intervene till the election. The
Republicans of Indiana have had a grand
burst OF enthusiasm, and it has not end
ed yet. The popular demonstrations
have been very impressive, and have
furnished conclusive proof OF the
strength OF General Harrison's candi-
dacy in his own State. These demon
STATIONS will continue, and it is not our
purpose to discourage or undervalue'
them; but it is worth while to say again
that they do not and cannot take the
place Of organization. Republicans must
recognize the fact that they have hard
fight before them in this State, u desper..
ate and unscrupulous enemy to contend
with, and that It will not do to depend
on popular enthusiasm TO carry
them through. The victory can only
be won by thorough organization and
hard work. With these we can succeed
beyond doubt; without these We are
liable to fall in spite OF popular enthu-
siasm. No party, in any election in any
State, ever had as much at stake Us the
Republicans OF Indiana have in this. II
they fail in any point OF preparation for
the conflict, or fall short OF their su.
premest effort, they will deserve to be
beaten. We have :aid the Democrats
are active and unscrupulous. We may
add they are boastful OF carrying the
State, and are determined to do it at all
hazards and at whatever cost. They are
relying on organization and money;
Republicans must rely on organization,
by the kind Of work that
money cannot buy. AS an evidence oi
what the Democrats are doing and plan
ming to do, the Journal has information
from trustworthy source, that they are
the northern counties OF
with view to colonizing votes
in this State, and that they are preparing
TO spend an immense amount Of money
in that way. A Democratic manager is
to us us saying: 1--WE are not
making much OF pretense OF carrying
Indiana, but Harrison must be defeated
in his own State. and we are going to do
tone way or another" This taken in
with the letter Of the chair:
man of the Democratic committee in
Ohio tc postmasters in that State, print
ed the Journal yesterday, shows what we
have to expect. The Democrats repre-
pairing to make desperate fight in this
State, and will stop at nothing to carry
It. Forewarncd is forearmed. Repub-
Leans must look the situation in the
lace. If'they expect to save the State,
their candidate and their honor, they
must not base expectations Of success on
