Mr.. English Denies a Report.

There is not a particle of truth in the
statement that the Democratic members of
the monument commission have decided to
place Democrats in the two or three posi-
lions about the monument as soon as the
Legislature adjourns,'' said Hon. w. H.
English in answer to an inquiry yesterday;
..at least neither General Manson nor Mr..
McCollum has made such an intimation
to me. For one, I would not join in any
thing of the kind. The electrician is a
four years soldier and a Republican and
a very competent man.. l helped to put him
there. The man who has charge of the
monument is an old soldier brought mere
by Mr.. McCo1lum, a Prohibitionfst of the
most rabid tpye. Mr.. McCollum will stand
for him until he is proved Incompetent or
dishonest. General Manson will vote for no
man but a Union veteran, and I may say
for myself that when a change shall be
made I shall support no man who is not
acceptable to the Grand Army. regardless
of how the man votes. In this connection
l may say the only attempt to put any
other than a veteran in charge of the mon
ument was made by President Langsdale.

ONE HUNDRED TWELVE MEMBERS.
Received Into the Seventh Presby-
terrain Church Yesterday.

The morning meeting at the Seventh
Presbyterian Church yesterday was a COM
munion service and III persons were re-
ceived into the church. AS this was the
first communion service since the Chap
man revival meetings were held in this
city 1t was known that a large number
Intended to unite with the church. and con-
sequently the audience room and gallery
were filed to overlooking. The pastor,
Rev. George L. Knox, read a sEort les
oon from the Acts OF the Apostles, relating
to the receiving into the old Christian
church OF three thousand persons on the
day of pentacost. He said there were three
principal events in that service. They
were the teaching of the people by the
apostles, receiving them into fellowship and
the breaking of bread. This example was
then followed by Rev. Mr.. Knox In the
service. After the reading or teaching there
were liz persons received into full fellow
snip in the church. Over fifty OF these be-
ing baptised by the pastor. After the add
ministration of the sacrament the pastor
made a few practical remarks to the new
members. He said fruit bearing should be
developed along three lines, namely, the
spiritual. the social and the financial.
AL these are equally necessary in the
Christian life. Every professed Christian
should be a living branch of the living vine
and he cannot become such unless he
develop his life along these lines.

THE CURSE OF POVERTY.
A Railroad Man Takes Exceptions to
Remarks by Rev. III. o.

Mansur Hall was a chilly place yesterday
afternoon, but, Notwithstanding that fact,
about fifty members of the Progress Club
met and considered the Course of Poverty
with their overcoats and wraps on. The
subject was treated byt Rev. H. D. Som
mers, OF the Universalist Church, who ex-
pressed the opinion that society is respon-
sible for poverty. His views seemed to be
popular with his audience, a Debs striker
excepted. This striker arose at the conclu-
sion Of Mr.. Sommer's lecture, and said, if
he was not a stranger, he could tell a great
many strange things. Mr.. Somnfers began
to address another member, and the striker
continued talking, with his remarks ad-
dressed to no one in particular. He waved
his arms impressively, and brought his
mouth together at the close of each sem
tence, in much the same manner resembling
the closing of a steel trap.

striker commenced; but they fired me as

out how far you are from this heaven you

The members of the club began to with
draw, but the striker talked on. At the
finish he had an audience of two, a Chris
tian and an infidel.
The Christian said times will improve
some of these days, and by and by all men
that he didn't think any such men would be
in the railroad business. The infidel
chuckled and urged the striker to continue.
He said the strikers condition showed the
failure of the Christian religion as a civil
izer.

departed, leaving the four members of the

PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES.
A Democrat Talks Of Governor Mat
thews's Buxxfng bee.

A prominent Democrat was talking about
the next Presidential nomination of his
party last night at the Grand Hotel, and
remarked that this is still a period of specu-
lation with the party leaders.
1T Is known, of course, py the leaders
that the party is not in good shape he
said. land has not been for some time.
They are, therefore, waiting for develop
ments. The only man in New York who
would stand a chance of nomination is
Whitney. who is not tied up In the fac
tional fights of hat State; but it is quite
probable that the nomination will have to
come West, and where could it come more
properly than to Indiana? Campbell is the
only Ohio Democrat available. The only
trouble Is there are three men who would
have to be considered-Voorhees, Gray and
Matthews. If, as some nave said, Gray is
no longer to be considered as a Presidential
xavorite of the State. and Voorhees, drops
out OF party view, Matthews would have
clear sailing. He could secure the solid sup
port OF the State without trouble. If Harri-
son, as l believe he will, again becomes the
candidate of the Republicans, Indiana will
have still stronger claims upon the Demo-
cratic party leaders, who would need to do
everything possible to break down the eff
fective State pride idea of 1883. There has
not. so far as / know, been any effort to
start a Matthews boom by the party lead
ers, but 1t Is a little early yet, and nobody
knows what Gray and Voorhees, would say
to such a thing"

ENGINEER KILLED IN A WRECK.
VIM. H.. Fletcher, an Old l., ID. & w.
EmplOye, Fatally Crushed.

William H. Fletcher. an old employee of
the l., D. & w. Railroad Company, was
fatally crushed in a collision near Milligan,
a small station forty miles west of the city,
Saturday night, during the binding snow
storm. Mr.. Fletcher was brought to this
city the same night and taken to his home,
where he died yesterday morning from his
injuries. Mr.. Fletcher was the engineer of
the passenger train which left this city
shortly after A o'clock, Saturday afternoon,
for the west. Near Milligan is a switch
where the passenger generally passes an
east-bound freight train. The snow was
falling so heavily that it was impossible
to see a hundred feet ahead on the track.
1t is thought engineer Fletcher did not re-
aliZe he was so near the switch. AS soon
as he observed the headlight of the freight
engine he m to stop the paSSen-
ger train, but the track was slippery and 1t
was impossible. The fronts of the two en-
freight jumped and escaped injury, as did
the fireman of the passenger. Mr.. Fletcher
remained at the throttle until he saw he
had done all he could to prevent the acct
dent, when he left his cab and prepared to
jump. But the crash came before he had
put his inclinations into action, and his
body was caught between tne cab and the
tender and horribly crushed. No one else
was injured, although the baggage car and
was some hours before the wreck could be
cleared away and traffic resumed. Mr..
Fletcher was regarded as one of the best
engineers running into the city. He was
ffty-eight years old and leaves a family,
living on Elder avenue. West Indianapolis.

Probable Outcome.

TO be made by Mr.. Span, for the prisoner.
Mr.. Spaan has studied this case thoroughly,
and those who know him say he will
exceed all his previous efforts, in behalf or
this prisoner. He will be followed by Con-
gresham Charles l.. Henry, ana then John
s Duncan will make the final argument
on the side of the defense. 1t is believed
these three men will conclude their argu-
ments to-day. Tomorrow morning John B..
Elam will close the case for the State, and
Winnie Smiths fate will probably be in the
hands of the jury by noon tomorrow.
There is considerable speculation as to
the result of the jury's deliberations. The
prevailing opinion seems TO be that Smith
win be found guilty. but few persons place
the penalty as great as ten years. while
some. who believe a verdict of guilty will
be returned. think the sentence Will be not
over two or three years. There are others,
and a large lumber, too, who believe the
verdict. If rendered on the evidence before

more who held this opinion Thursday night

that her evidence injured Smiths case, al

Jail To prevent him leaving the State, made
him an unwilling witness. ready to favor
the defense at every point, which offsets
the effect of Myrtle Overturfs testimony.
A disagreement of the jury seems not
improbable, from the fact that there are
always a few in every dozen men
who cannot consider evidence according to
the law Of the land, but allow moral law
to overshadow them to such an extent that
they con~scientiously believe they are reach
ing a decision based on the law as found
in the statute books. while on the other
hand, there may be others on the jury who
have that exalted opinion of what kind of
an assault would give a man the right to
kill another in self-defense, which would
cause them to consider the weakest plea
a case of Justification. Such argument as
this has caused considerable speculation in
the length of time the jury will be out.
Basing their belief or this argument, some
contend that the jury win disagree and re-
main out till discharged by the judge. A
great many persons, however, believe a YER
dict will be reached within two hours at
the most.

What Enterprise Will Do.

The youngest manufacturing suburb of
Indianapolis is Ingalls,, which. although To-
Gated twenty-three miles east of the city,
claims Indianapolis as its parent from the
fact that the majority of the manufactur-
ers who do business at Ingalls, live in this
city. The six factories in the town have all
been in operation during the past year, and
have given employment to a large and
notwithstanding force. Fffty-five dwell
ing houses have been built during the past
twelve months, beside a number OF store
and other buildings. Two churches are just
being completed. One of them, built by the
Christian denomination, is a very handsome
brick structure, costing over $1,000. The
Methodist Church is a smaller, but very
neat building. A 5000 schoolhouse is also
under contract.

ing suburb.

The Rumeley Engine and Thrasher Man
ufacturing Company has it's large new
building, corner of Capitol avenue and Geor-
gia street, about ready for occupancy. The
building is an ornament to the South Side
and a credit to the company which erected
it. The Rumeley, the Mccormick Harvest
ing Machine Company, the Deering Harvest
Machinery Company and the Oliver Chilled
pillow works all have good, commodious and
convenient buildings. There are now four
teen companies which deal in agricultural
implements which have selected this place
for their distributing center, and this point
is looked upon by these companies as the
most favorably located for the distribution
of their manufactured product throughout
Indiana, southern Illinois, Kentucky, south
ern Ohio and the Virginias. The oliver

apolis house, two hundred and twenty-five
car loads of plows per annum Several 9TH

al agents here, who have offices in the
Board of Trade Building or other parts of
the city, but rent buildings for storage pur-
poses. It is understood that several other
manufacturers are considering the erection
of buildings similar to those of the Nc
Cormick, the Rumeley and the Oliver
Chilled Pillow companies. In conversation
with some of the representatives of the es-
Establishments mentioned, it is found that in
no place in the United States can goods be
shipped more directly to any part of the
United States on rates more favorable than
indianapolis freight agents will give, and
this is drawing manufacturers to Indian
apoIis as a distributing center.
