thusiasm is a characteristic of the members
of the Columbia Lincoln League, which
meets every Friday night in Columbia Hall,

Ing a time and place for mutual exchange
of ideas upon active and practical party
work. and spirited discussions are the
regular order within the hall when some
enthusiastic worker becomes unusually elo-
quent in his support of the ideas which he
has proven practicable. 1t is by the in
telligent discussion of live issues of the
day that the club has succeeded in keep
ing alive an unusual spirit of activity:
Last night the room was crowded with
earnest, working Republicans, and after the
chairs were all taken the more. fortunate
ones who had secured seats kindly offered
their laps to accommodate those who could
not obtain seats. With all the discomfort
that this entailed, the CROWD remained till
nearly IL O'Clock and listened to rousing
speeches by a number of the members and
visitors. As the meeting was upon the verge
of holding Republican primaries the ques-

sideration of the membership. He was fol-
lowed by Merrill Moores, who added more
valuable points to be considered In the hold
loudly applanded as he took his
seat. William Wiegel made a
short tariff talk in which he got down to
the practical level of the operation of the
tariff as 1T affects the laboring man. Mr..
Wiegel was cheered Justify when he said,
II would rather pay three men good wages
than six men half wages
Short speeches were also made by Will

NEW HOUSE OF WORSHIP.
The Dedication of the Broadway NJ. +.
Church Will Occur Tomorrow.

Like the growth of a mushroom does the
erection of the new building known as the
Broadway NJ. E. Church seem TO those
with the movement. The organization
which makes the nucleus for the new
church has existed for years, being known
first as Pattison and then Seventh-street
N. f. Church, but now il bears the name
Broadway NJ. E. On Oct %, by the action
of its quarterly conference, il was decided
to move, not the building. but the organiza-
ton, to the corner of Broadway and
Twelfth street. Plans and specifications for
a building 40x6O feet, with a parlor 1Sx23
feet, and a tower 12x12 feet, were adopted,
and within a weeks time the new building
was in process of erection. The last service
in the old church was held Dec. "a and the
first in the new on Dec. 81, 1893. Tn opens
ing and the weeks services following have
been most promising for the future of the
church. The congregations have been large,
attentive and responsive. The Structure is
ern conveniences in the way of furnace ana
reflector. The rooms are nicely nniShed
and neatly decorated. Among those VINO
have served this organization as pastors
are Revs. Amos Hanway, D, >. INeaSeI, VI
l.. Wells, r. ID. Black, w. H. Wydman, 5.
F. Tincher, J. S. Tevis and the present in

tain are the members of the c'uval Ath-

Bowden recently wired Governor Mitchell
IN regard TO his position in the matter of
the contest. Yesterday he received an
answer but denied that il referred to the
subject in question. When seen this morn
ing he showed a letter with a Tallahassee
from private individuals. This. he said,
caused the rumor that Governor Mitchell
had written to him. This appears TO be a
bluff, however, on the part of Mr.. Bowden,
and IL does not alter the fact that a letter
from Governor Mitchell was received by
him. 1t was OF such an important nature
that a meeting Of the officials of the club
was Immediately called. The meeting did
not last long. and it was evident that the
news that Manager Bowden communi-
Gated to his brother officials was not very
than ever that the fight will take place.
The betting here so far has not been of a
very fast nature. Even money is now be-
ing offered here hat Mitchell will not re-
spond in the twenty-irst round. Some of
this has been taken, but the general opin-
Ion is that the English champion will make
a longer fight

A CONVERSE ENOCH ARDEN.
Missing Husband VIII Return to Find
His Wife Married Again.

opecidl 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind, Jan. 5.-A case which
in many respects resembles that of Enoch
Arden has developed at Converse, south
west of this city. A day or so ago Mrs.
Noah Long, who with her children moved
to Converse, a year or more ago, received
a letter from her husbands sister, stating
that Mr.. Long. who mysteriously disap-
peared while he and his family were living
In Carroll county,, four years since, was
alive and we'll in Arizona. Long married
his wife. who was a Miss Retta Eltzroth.
in 1883, in Carroll county and they lived to-
gether happily, three children being born
to them, until February. 1890. Then Long
took two horses to Frankfort, Ind, sold
them for $3.50 and disappeared suddenly
and completely. His father supposing he
had gone West made many trips beyond
the Mississippi in search of him, but not
a trace of him was found and last year
Mrs. Long, In despair removed to Converse.
Alleging abandonment, she sued for divorce
and got a decree, which, however, in ac-
cordance with the Indiana statute forbade
her marriage within two years, the hus-
band being a nonresident. Mrs. Long,
however, met and became infatuated with
a butter-maker named A. r. Anderson and
being anxious to wed him, they went to
Michigan and were married and now reside
in that State. The lust re-
ceived that Mr.. Long is alive, reasonably
happy and meditating a visit to his old
home, caused a sensation at Converse
where the family is known.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Jan. 5.-Last evening the

feiters' tools and a burglars outfit at the
home of Edward Martin, at Westside,

Resolved, That We condemn the course
pursued by j. Sterling Morton, Secretary
of Agriculture, in his ungentlemanly and I'M
farmer-like, ignorant and vicious attack at
Chicago, on organizations of the tillers of
the soil. and we earnestly urge President
Cleveland TO displace him with a competent
man, who has at least some sympathy with
the agriculturists. The office he now holds
was created for the farmers at their de-
mand, and, inasEnuch as So per cent. of all
exports of the country are produced on the
farm, we believe the farmers are entitled TO
a genuine representative in this office-one
who is in sympathy with their interests"
