anything to do with the abortion, and saying
that he had been misrepresented and unjustly

Parson George sat in his whitewashed cell
in the Catskill Jail Sunday morning when a
reporter called upon him.
He showed no sign of reaction from the
excitement of his trial. In answer to ques<
ton as to his health, he answered cheerfully:
'sWhy, / an in frst-rate heath. l never felt
better in my life than do this morning."
And he undoubtedly meant what he said. He
said that his conscience was at rest, and he
freely forgave all who had wronged him. He
wrote long letter to his wife, and he spent
the rest of the forenoon reading the Bible

Tho Indianapo,i. G.tneripp

INDIANAPOLIS, November 19.-Tne air is
thick with rumors tending to implicate GER
tain alliance leaders in connection with GER
tain combinations AMI relations with the
National Industrial Union con- pany, form
erly known as the Union Cordage com pany),
the state agents of which held q meeting at
the Bates house. 1t is with the state agents
that this alleged scandal has to deal, and the
alliance men who are here for that purpose
state that they will make charles that will
create tremendous sensation. The former
state agent of the Florida alliance domiciled
himself IN New York and became the agent
of the Cordage company, and it ia eaid would
plan to get monopoly of the alliance trade,
and as means to that end, seductive induce
ments were held out to state agents to induce
them to procure endorsement by their alli-
ance of the Union Cordage company. The
following is substance of a circular sent
the Georgia state agent, as it was published
and exposed:
Napoleon was the greatest general the
world ever saw, because he was the govern
ment in himself, law unto himself. IF you
will agree to obey implicitly our instructions
and directions and ask no questions, we
promise you emoluments, wealth and honor
beyond your widest dreams.
This circular was also sent to other agents.
Rumors a6oat also connect certain alliance
leaders with deal with the Louisiana Lot
terry company, by which the third party was
placed in the field in Louisiana.

A Farmer Shot.

LEAvENwoRTH. KAN. November 21.-C. W.
Morrow. a farmer, living four miles south Of
this city, was in the city, and when he got
home. at o'clock, he found four negroes in
his pig pen killing pig. He started toward
them and they ran to a wagon they had near
and started of rapidly. Mr.. Morrow fol-
lowed them on horseback. They turned in
various directions, evidently trying to tire
him out. They called to him a number of
times to 60 back or they would shoot him,
but he still followed them. He says he must
have followed them seven or eight miles. At
length they grew desperate and did shoot.
Mr.. Morrow was hit in four places about the
head with No. shot.
The physician in attendance gives It az his
opinion that two of the men must have fred
at the same time, as but one discharge was
heard and the location of the wounds is such
they could not have all been made with one
load. When shot, Mr.. Morrow was forced to
cease following them, and came to town
to have his wounds dressed. They are
severe and perhaps fatal. The men escaped
and are not known.

Wichita to Pueblo, Col. Another meeting
of stockholders and directors of the Kansas
& Colorado Pacific will take place in few
weeks to ratify the purchase of one road and
lease of the other. The consummation OF
the above business will give the Gould sys-
tenn q direct short line from this city to
Pueblo and thence to Denver and the Pacific
coast.
According to a written contract entered
into by Mr.. Gould and the city of Fort Scott,
as soon as the consolidation of the various
lines in the state of Kansas, owned and con-
trolled by the Missouri Pacific company, is
consummated, the headquarters of the con-
solidated roads must be located at Fort Scott.
This is a condition of things the people of
Fort Scott have fondly hoped for and believe
this last arrangement is the realization of Mr..
Gould's pledges.

NIeetingS of All The Clans.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, November 18-Every
known organization of American farmers
holds some sort of meeting here this week.
The supreme council of the farmers alli-
ance and the industrial union is the
man thing. Then there Is the supreme
council of the Farmers Mutual Benefit asso-
CATION; the executive committee of the Con-
federated Industrial unions; the executive
committee of the peoples party; the national
board of organizers; the Reform Press asso-
citation, ard the National State Agents asso-
citation, all holding meetings.
All the interests of these concerns are be-
ing considered generally. Shall they be
taken collectively and merge into one inter-
est, is the question that receives more or less
attention. Will the alliance nominate ma
ional ticket or will 1t be left for the peoples
party is the question that the outside world Is
vaguely bordering.
The present conventions are not for the
purpose of nominating tickets, but for trans
acting the business OF the interests involved.
and for considering measures looking to the
future of the allied conclaves.
Congressman Jerry Simpson, when asked
what the outlook is for the alliance, replied:
Brilliant. Have just come back from the
south, and l find everything for success.
With gains of 10 per cent. in Kansas, South
Dakota ana elsewhere, we have reason to be
elated. The third party is the great tidal
wave OF reform, and can't be kept back. The
alliance cannot even keep it back"
"When do you expect this union to occur?
At this council meeting?'
: mo. It will occur at the conference of the
industrial organizations, which is to be held
on Washington's birthday"
The executive committee of the confeder-
ated industrial organizations embraces the
Farmers Mutual Benefit association, the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial union, Ma
tional Alliance and Cooperative union, Clti-
zens alliance and Knights of Labor.
President Terrill said of the objects of this
meeting: TITS purpose is to take act on
toward the unifcation of all labor interests;
to adopt platform that all organizations
composing the confederation can stand on,
shat by united action they may procure the
Legislation they are demanding"
The concensus of opinion of the delegates
already here Is that the alliance will not
indorse the third party movement, but will
indorse that party whose platform most
closely proclaims alliance principles.
'tNo doubt you have heard" said President
Polk, ''of the great combination of Stanford
and Polk for head of the third party ticket.
Why, Stanford wouldn't get an alliance vote
for constable"

Not Political.

. INDIANAPOLIS, ND, November 10. F.
Tillman, secretary of the alliance executive
committee, responded to Mayor Sullivan's
address of welcome. He thanked the people
of Indianapolis for their cordial welcome
and paid q tribute to President Harrison.
Continuing, he said it was not the mission of
the farmers to tear down honestly conducted
industries. but to preserve them; yet they in
tended to toll the death knell of all illegiti-
mate combinations and monopolies.
They were not here as politicians to dis
rupt political parties or promote the fortunes
OF any political aspirant, nor we're they here
In The interest of any third party. for by their
very organic foundation they had the right
to vote with whatever political party they
though might best advance good government.
Tillman's reference to the non partisan
nature of the alliance caused something of a
sensation. and was received with about equal
evidence of approval and disapproval.

Changes in tho Constitution.

INDIANAPOLIS, ND, November A-The al
lance council has made several changes in
the constitution. The first change disquali-
ies business agents from membership in the
council, because 1t may become n scessary
for the council to SIT in Judgment on the
agents, and it Is not thought proper that
agents should be members of the body that
is to inquire into their alleged misdoings.
The second change permits females to pay q
per capita tax and thus become basis for
representation, the same as males. The
third change refers the matter Of ,eli2i-
bility for membership. Hitherto, persons of
mixed occupations could joan the alliance.
This clause was repealed and in its place was
adopted a provision that the membership
shall be restricted to farmers and farm Ia
borers. An amendment was proposed to ad-
init city mechanics but was voted down.
The comm sttee on confederation reported,
recommending confederation with the
knights of Labor. +. n. b. A. and . dozen
other orders, and advising the election Of
delegates to the February assembly of these
confederated orders. The report was adopted.
A resolution was passed fsvoring the grant
ing of pensions by issuing full legal tender
paper money to all honOrably discharged
union soldiers who are disabled or In needy
circumstances.
