 TOLEDO, O., Nov. 5.-A number of business men Friday night held secret meeting in the chamber of commerce. Enough leaked out to let it be known that radical measures had been taken. A member of the New York committee was called in and in the future will di- rect matters.
 Some of the leading men of the city will have charge of the investigation, which will be conducted after the man. ner of the Lexow committee and suffi- cient funds to carry on investigations of all the city departments is on hand.
 Said one of the committees: "We will show where over $l 100000 of the tax payers money has gone into improper channels and the result will be surpris- ing to all but the guilty. It will involve men and transactions now supposed to be above reproach.
 The investigation will be noaparitsan and will begin immediately after the election. An effort will also be made to secure new city charter and abolish the present system of local government.

 LITTLE ROCK, Nov. 5.-The State Baptist convention in session at Lonoke Friday night unanimously adopted the following resolution:
 Resolved that we. the representatives of 10000 constituents, view with appre- hension bordering on alarm the infu- ence of the Roman Catholic church over the congress Of the United States and the different departments of tho Fed eral government. We desire to utter anew and in no uncertain tone the time honored truth ever held by Baptists, and for which they have in all ages sacri- feed their lives, that there shall be no interdependence whatever, between church and state, and we denounce all Legislation which provides that the reye- nues of the Federal government shall be expended in sustaining wholly or in part any Roman Catholic or other sec tarian school i'll the territories of the United States or elsewhere.
 We further call on all protestants by whatever name known, to unite with us in stemming the current of legislation which is being directed by Romanists to the maintenance of their churches and schools at the expense of the taxpayers of tho nation.

The Academy of Music season of '94'95 was auspiciously opened last night when a packed house greeted Al G. Fields minstrels. The hepregram, which was n lengthy one, opened up with Way Down on the Suwanee River and was one of the finest minstrel first part stage setting seen here. Such vocalists as Will Walling, Arthur Yule, Harry Howard. i. Lawrence Diamond and !. W. Wilson rendered the latest ballads in way that was pleasing.
 After the first part, in which Al Field and Tommy Donnefly amused the audience with the latest hits, among then Il number of local ones, Yule, a young English vocalist, gave limitations of baritone, tenor and soprano voices that completely captured the audience. The Alvarez family gave q clever turn" and Field and Donnelly, the fun-makers, stormed the house with their fun making. The Martinetti brothers three ill number, have never been surpassed in this city in their feats of acrobatic work F.. NJ. Hall, who can justly be termed the king of banioists, proved himself master of that instrument. and his parody on Sweet Marie" brought down the house.

A Home Industry.

Mir. E. II Colhouer, proprietor of the Pine Bluff Wagon and Carriage Works, called the reporter into his establishment this morning where the writer was shown an elegant and handsome new delivery wagon which has just been finished for the Bluff City Lumber Company. Every part and particle of this piece of work manship, Mr. Colhouer informs us, was bought or made here at at home, which is, indeed, credit to Pine Bluff and to Mir. Colhouer. All of this again leads us to remark that Pine Bluff should have a large wagon factory, and that our people should patronize home industries.

THE CAMPAIGN HAS CLOSED
AND NOW FOR THE ELECTION RE.
 TURNS.
Every State and Territory, With but Two Exceptions, win Hold Elections
 Tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, D. C., November D. Throughout the length and breadth of the land the campaign has yir- tnally closed and all things coneid- cred tomorrow will see one of the most interesting days for an off year in the history of American poli- tics. Although nominally State elec- tions fought out upon State issues, tomorrow returns from each and every State and Territory in the Union will he regarded HIS an infalli- ble index to the pulse of the nation upon variety Of questions affecting the aspect of national politics. In the cities the registration has been unusually large and the interest everywhere manifested resembles that of Presidential election more closely than any breeding contest of the kind in history. In many States new issues are commanding the peo- ple's thought, and it is felt that on the results of tomorrow s contest de- pends in many Western States at least the future of the new party.
 Tomorrow's elections will be gen eral in all the States and Territories in the Union with the exception of Maine and Vermont, where the State elections, including those for mem bers of Congress, were held in Sep tember. In nearly all of the States State officers will be chosen, and in many, notably in California and New York, important constitutional amendments will be voted on. Three hundred and fifty-six members of the House of Representative to sit in the next Congress, beginning Decem- Der l, 1895, will be elected, as we'll as one delegate from each of the Terri tories of Arizona, Oklahoma and Utah.
 It is d noticeable fact that there is less fusion this year than usual and the number of Third and Fourth party candidates is unusally large. In every State but Tennessee there are three or more tickets. In that State the Republicans and Democrats will have the field all to themselves. ID many of the Western States where there was fusion last year each party is going it alone. The Peoples Party has nominated full tickets in every 
 Western State and most of the Middle and Southern States as well. Tn the South the Republicans have endorsed the Peoples Party candi- dates in some instances and in South Carolina have made no nominations at all. In Nevada the silver men have nominated q straight ticket. The Prohibitionists are in the field as in former years, having put up State tickets i'll every State but Nevada and Tennessee.
 Not the least important feature of the contest at the polls tomorrow is the fact that i'll many of the States the Legislatures elected will choose United States Senator's to succeed those whose terms have expired or to fill vacancies. The list of retiring Senators is as. follows: John T. Nor gan. of Alabama; James H. Berry, of Arkansas; George c Perkins, of California; Edward 0. Wolcott, of California; Anthony Higgins, of Dela- ware; Patrick Walsh, of Georgia; George l.. Shoup, of Idaho; Shelby M Cullom, of Illinois; George F. Will son, of Iowa; John Martin, of Kan

FIRE AT GRACE.
The Postohice, Broom Factory and sev-
 eraI Lumber Kiins Burned.
MAcoN, ARK, Nov. 1. 1s9i..
223 Main Street.

MACON, ARK, Nov. I. 1891. MT Editor;
 On October 3l the postofIice at Grace station burned to the ground with all its contents and no insur- anec. Mr. Madison had just fitted up the office in nice style, at a con siderable expense, and had his broom factory in the same building, with loss of all his material and some brooms already made. The build ing was his own property, two- story frame house.
 His loss cannot come under $20O in money and material. There was $12.50 in money in the drawer, and about the same amount in postage stamps and envelopes.
 It is Il mystery how the fire orig mated. There had been no fire in the house that day, and the Postmaster had just locked up the office and walked down to the track, having been away about ten minutes, when he looked back and .saw the whole building i'll flames
 There, were two broom machines | and desk saved. He is now carry ing on the office in his dwelling until he can rebuild.
 October 3l was bad day for our county. There were four lumber kilns burned at Anderson's mill, one at Adams X Fishers mill, the post office at Grace station and a man killed at Putnam X Williams mill by the train. OBSERVER.

 In his appeal on behalf of the boys he touched the hearts of all present. He then urged all to stand by the new secretary and give him the same cordial welcome and support accord ed him during his four years of pleas ure among us.
 After making d few announce ments and singing God Be With You Till We Meet Again, the bene- dietion was pronounced by Rev. J. 1 l..
