INDIANAPOLIS, IND, December 28.-Francis
Murphy and his son, Edward, the temper
ance evangelists, closed their meetings in
Indianapolis. The elder Murphy began
here three weeks ago and was joined by his
eloquent son a week later. They have set
on foot the most successful gospel temper
.ance movement ever inaugurated in this
city, addressing fOrty-fve large meetings.
The result Of their labOrs Is something over.
{, 800 signers to the total abstinence pledge
and 700 Gospel conversions. The press and
people of Indianapolis regard their work
with great satisfaction. They came here at
the invitation of j. Q. SchaHer, president of
the Indianapolis Street Railway company.
They were greatly assisted by such leading
ministers as the Rev. DR.. Cleveland, Kew.
DR.. Rondthaler, Rev. DR.. HendricksOn,
Revs. Sheridan and Woodruff and Rev. NJ.
L. Haines, General HarrisOn's pastor. The
meeting at TomlinsOn's hall was one of the
largest. Fully 5000 were present On the
crowded stage with Mr.. Schaffer was Samuel
W. AllertOn, the Well-knOWn Chicago mil
IOnaire, who made a short address, wherein
he urged the Murphys to come to Chicago,
where ne believed a great work awaited
them. He said they were fighting dynamIt-
ers and hanging anarchists, but he believed
the remedy for this spreading evil was to
send such men among them as Francis and
Edward Murphy to preach their gospel and
pull misguided socialists out from under the
baleful influence of the liquor dispensing
element. He declared he shO1ld return to
Chicago with a determination to inRugurate
a movement that would bring the Murphys
and other evangelists into that field. and
that he would take part IN the meetings.
The address of the evening was made by
Edward Murphy, who surpasses his Cslebrat-
ed father as an orator. He concluded his
address amidst applause. Many crowded
forward and signed the pledge. The eXer-
cises. closed with a touching farewell ad-
dress by Francis Murphy. Among their
conversions are two saloon keepers and
about three score Of the hardest drinkers ia
the city.

Jamaica Thts time.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December 29.-The
brigantine JOsefa, which arrived at this port
from Montego bay, Jamaica, brings news
of an outrage suffered by that vessel at the
hands of the Spanish government. While
disoharging a cargo on her outward trip
from New ArragO, Porto Rico, the Spanish
custom ofiCials discovered that twenty pack
ages of corn starch, which were marked on
the vessels manifest, were missing. After
an extended search the goods could not be
found and the vessel was seized by the Span
ish authorities, who held her until fine Of
81 600 was paid although the value Of the
goods did not exceed $40. The master
and crew were forced to suffer many in
dignities at the hands Of the governor OF
the island and officials acting under his
authority. The authorizes offered to settle
the matter, if the captain of the vessel
could satisfactorily explain the Wherea bouts
of the missing packages. After the fine
had been paid it was ascertained that the
missing goods were delivered by mistake on
board the ship JOsephus which lay next to
the JOsefa in New York, but were placed on
the JOsefa's manifest. Explanations were
made to the Spanish authorities, and the re-
turn of the fine was requested but was re-
fused and the vessel left for this city. Jas.
Brett, of New York, managing owner Of the
JOsefa, has fled complaint against the
Spanish government with Secretary Bayard,
and asked that his immediate attention shall
be given to the matter. it will be urged
that the war ships Galena and Yantic shall
be ordered to continue their cruise to Porto
Rico and summarily secure redress for the
imposition suffered By the JOsefa.

MARBLEHEAD, MASS. December 28.-Nore
reliable estimates Of the total losses by fire
are 100000. Twelve thousand or more
men are thrown GUS Of employment and
many families rendered temporarily home
less. Thirty-seven structures in all were
destroyed. Thirteen of theses were dwell
ings, twelve were shoe factories, and twelve
miscellaneous. Though the boundaries of
the fire were almost identical with those of
the big fire of June, 1887. the losses on this
last fire are nearly double those of tho
former. So quickly did the flames spread
that whole blocks were ruined in less than
fifteen minutes. It is now estimated that
between eight a-d nine acres were burned
over. None of the manufacturers think it
possible to rebuild this winter and there is
a general feeling of depression in the town.

Honors for observation-disclosures.

HARRISBURG, PA, December 29.-GOv-
ernor Beaver Will not only have many aides
from the northern states in ths inaugural
procession, but the southern will be we'll
represented. As grand marshal of that

Mrs. Lucy Parsons Not Permitted to L
ture-Chief Hubbard Talks
CHICAGO, December 28-HandbilIa were
widely distributed announcing that Mrs.
Lucy Parsons, the wife Of the executed an
archist, would lecture in WaverJy hall. One
Of the bills was handed to Chief Of Police
Hubbard, who sent Lieutenant Laughlin to
Mr.. Laurie, proprietor Of the hall, with in
structions to order him not to open the
place. M. Laurie was not satisfied with
the message and called Immediately upon
the CHIEF.
''I Will send an officer to you," said the
chief to Mr.. Laurie, t'WhO will demand the
key Of the hall from you. He will then
station a policeman at the door, who will
forbid admission to the hall. You are peE-
fectly helpless in the matter and any respon-
sibiljty there is will be on the police
The wording Of the subject Of the lecture
was trlt1e ambiguous, in that 1t might in
clude any or all phases Of anarchy and So
clallsm. There was no doubt In the minds
of the police that Mrs Parsons inten6e to
say something to cause her arrest.
Said Chief Hubbard: ''Mrs. Parsons can
advertise herself all she pleases but we will
not help her to do it. We have private in
formation that she intended to make a viO-
lent anarchistic harangue. Then We would
have been compelled to arrest her, and you
can be sure that It would have been magni-
ned IN every way by the anarchists in the
argument of their Injunction suit. The at
tempted lecture was simply for effect. 1t is
well known that Mrs. Parsons camsOt re-
frain from talking anarchy when she gets a
her further. She simply cannot speak in
Chicago"
