financial agent. bought the land. using the
New Jersey mans money and overcharging
him, IL is alleged, s30 900. Blair brought
suit for the title to the property and began
criminal action against Schaerfer Under
the criminal charge Schaeffer was sem
fenced TO the Missouri penitentiary but the
decision was reversed by the Supreme
Court on the ground that the crime was
committed in New York. Before the trial
came up in New York Schaeffer disap-
peared from the country. Blair began suit
for the title of the property in 1884 Justice
Brewer decided in Blair's favor. the Su-
preme Court reversed the decision and ap-
pointed a special master to adjust the ac-
count. In February last the property was

nounced to-day that John ID. Rockefeller's s
representative at the recent meeting of the
Bessemer Iron Association made fight
against reduction OF the wages of ore
miners. 1t was stated after the meeting
had adjourned without reaching an agree
ment that the wages Of men in the Rookie
feller mines would not be cut, no matter
what others did. Rockefeller's representa-
tive at the meeting was f. L. Gates. of
New York. When the question of wages
was under discussion. il is said. Mr.. Gates
declared wages ought not to be reduced.
The wages at the Rockefeller mines will
not be reduced. he said. 'and if the other
producers think they can improve condi-
tions by reducing wages they are mistaken.
That would be beginning at the wrong end.

HUNTERS FATE SEALED
UNLESS HE CAN WHIP RECALCI-
TRANT REPUBLICANS INTO LINE.
He Again Lacked Two Votes When
the Joint Ballot for senator
Was Taken Yesterday.

FRANKFORT KY, March 25-The third
ballot for United States senator to succeed
Joseph C. S. Blackburn was taken to-day
by the Kentucky Legislature. Before the
two houses met i'm joint session it was
stated that Governor Bradley would receive
forty five Democratic and twenty-four Re
publican votes. Rumors of bribery had been
afioat all morning and 1t was said at IL
o'clock that the Hunter forces had brought
back two of the Republican boilers into line
and that Hunter. the nominee, would GER
tainy win. it was also said that the sound
money Democrats would vote with the Hum
ter forces to make a continuous session to-
day and vote till sundown or till some cam
didate was elected. While the vote was be-
ing taken Representative Nance a bolting

deavor TO whip the Bradley boilers into

prediction is freely made that if a senator

occasions. The situation understood by
outsiders tonight. is that Hunter has
reached the high-water mark and can never

IL is reported that the administration is
going to give Hunter something handsome

by the reunited Republicans. There is
something I'm the way though. The six
Bradley Republicans will try to name the
next nominee. who cannot be elected with
out their votes. and will insist that he be
other than Hunter man. This makes the
Hunter majority of Republicans hold on to
him, and they may never consent to vote
for any one else, unless absolutely COM

best judges say il is Hunter, Bradley no
election, and most probably the latter.

TWO PREACHERS ESCAPE
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE EXONER-
ATES WALTERS AND SMITH.
Rev. HnrweITs Case i'm Doubt Until
the Investigating Preachers De-
eide on His sanity.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO. Ind. March 25.-To-day two
of the three special committees appointed
TO investigate charges against ministers at
the Methodist Conference made their re-
ports. In both instances the charges were
reported not sustained. In the case of j.
Fl. Walters, of Point Isabel no specific
charges were made The minister was SIM
ply accused of conduct unbecoming "a minis
ter Of the gospel and of indiscretions. Rev.
Walters is young man, quite popular with
a majority of his congregation, and his vim
dication is pleasing TO his many friends.
The charge OF adultery and general mis-
conduct against Rev. w. d. Smith. of Mid
dlebury, likewise thrown out. The
charges were preferred by the minister's
own wife, with whom ne is having trouble
and who is now seeking "a divorce. Mrs.
Smith was here in person and told her story
to the committee the accused also being
present in his own defense. There were no
other witnesses 1t was simply "A story of
accusation and denial and the committee
naturally decided in the preachers favor.
AT the request of Rev Smith. he
stored TO the conference and given promise
of an appointment. He was suspended
pending investigation, being out only two
weeks. 1t is understood the wife has more
evidence for court proceedings.
The case against Rev. j. H. Harwel OF
Cambridge City. is undergoing investiga-
ton and a report is not expected until
the latter hours of the conference. There
seems to be no difference of opinion regard
ing the crOokedness of the accused. the
only question being the condition of the
mans mind. The preachers say they do
not want TO expel member who is not
account able for his actions, and they will
probably take no action until the question
of his sanity is determined. The expulsion
of Rev. Harwel would instantly follow If
his sanity could be legally established 1t
is also claimed by some that if he be in
sane now he was in the same condition
when he entered the ministry and the Vi
cenSe TO preach should be revoked, either
way considered.
