CENTRAL UNION ACTIVE.
Prospective Competition ut IrvingtOn
Forces Its Hands.

The Irvington Town Board met last night
with an attendance of citizens that more
than filled all the seats in the Town Board
Hall. The Central Union Telephone Com
pany was represented by I. o. Russell, spe-
cial agent of the company and Walter
Hill. of the Indianapolis telephone ex-
change, who made second proposition re-
garding Irvington telephones, which made
favorable impression upon the board and
citizens present. The telephone company
proposes to establish branch exchange at
Irvington, with both day and night service
and copper metallic wires at the same rates
as charged in Indianapolis The rates, said
Mr. Hill, will be from $l2 to $42 annually
without additional charge for toll connec-
tons with Indianapolis. This last point is
what recommends that last proposition of
the telephone company to citizens of lrv-
ington The telephone company agrees to
begin Immediately on the erection or poles
and wires preparatory to establishing the
Irvington exchange. The board submitted
the proposition of the telephone company 10
q committee, composed of A. NJ. Arbaugh,
F. O. Ritter and Jason Baker, which is To
make a final report at the next board meet
ing 1t is understood that the New Tele-
phone Company agrees to make the same
proposition as the Central Union Company.
The board adopted the form of specifica-
tions used by the city of Indianapolis for
future use in all contracts for the town OF
Irvington.

QUEEN OF THEOSOPHY
MRS. TINGLEY HAS THE NEW BROTH
ERHOOD In HER GRASP.
A Mahatma Had Sent an Astral Mes-
Die, but She Fooled Them.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE Universal
Brotherhood, which was, until its reorgan-
ization yesterday, known as the Internal
tional Theosophical Society, finished its
business to-day and adjourned Mrs. Ting
ley fixed her grasp on the leadership of the
brotherhood and named the following as her
cabinet: L. A. Neresheimer New York; F.
M. Pierce, New York; Clark Thurston,
Providence, r. L.; II. II. Patterson, New
York; /. L. Harris, Macon, Ga; Judge L.
O'Rourke Fort Wayne, Ind; A. A. PuTman,
Fort Wayne, Ind; s. B. Sweet, Indianapo-
lis Dr. Jerome Anderson, San Francisco;
d. n. Dunlop, New York; w. c. Temple,
Pittsburg The first three members of the
cabinet were also appointed as the commit
tee on finance, and DR.. Anderson was APP
pointed vice president. The opposition to
Mrs. Tingley, headed by e. Il. Hargrove,
came to the convention recognizing Mrs.
Tingley as the legitimate successor of w.
Q. Judge. To refuse an acknowledgment
of her supreme authority would therefore
have been equivalent to remuneration of
theosophy.
Hargroves campaign for the presidency
resulted in his Overwhelming defeat, and in
this connection a curious story is told. 1t Is
to the effect that the Hargrove faction
based his candidacy on the revelation
through a "Mahatma" that Mrs. Tingley
was about to die. According to the ''revela-
tion,' 1t is said Mrs. Tingley should have
died before the convention assembled; but
her failure to die and her evidences of very
good health upset, 1t is said, all the calcu-
lations of the opposition.
The Hargrove adherents refuse, however,
to surrender their position, and have issued
protest against the action of the main
body, saying that the officers of the society
have voted themselves out of office and
presenting proposition to the branches or
three months. Nothing said at the
conference against Mrs. Tingley, but it was
claimed that under the constitution no
change could be made in the organization
without three months notice, so that the
absorption of the convention by the broth
erEood left the society in charge of the OPP
poSl tion

BLAvATsKY's FRIEND.
George VI. Coffin Ridicules the Pre-
tense of the Tingley Crowd.

tense of the TinEley Crowd.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Mr. George M.
Coffin, president of the Blavatsky branch
of the Philosophical Society in America, in
commenting yesterdays action of the
convention of the society now in session at
Chicago, said: 1.-The dispatches this morn
ing state that the convention of the The
osophicaI Society in America at Chicago
yesterday declared by a vote that spiritual
power, absolute and unconditional is now
vested in Mrs. Tingley.' and that she was
endowed with absolute authority over the
organization
IF this report be true L wish on behalf
of myself as a member of the society, and
on behalf of the many other sane and
thoughtful members, utterly to repudiate
the acceptance of such dogma, or any
approximation of it. 1t is absolutely and
entirely at variance with the constitution
OF the society and the genius and spirit of
thecsophy which guarantee to each men,
ber absolutely freedom of thought and toll
Grafton for the beliefs of others. Roman
Catholics will hold in contempt this new
spiritual autocrat and rival of the Vatican,
and all Independent thinkers and liberal
American viii regard with scorn and sus-
picion any organization which denies to its
members an lnalienable right guaranteed to
all by the American Constitutions; namely
freedom of thought and religious opinion.
THE theosophical movement for the past
twenty-three years has been a most potent
factor in liberalizing religious thought, and
its ideas of reincarnation, karma and uni
versal brotherhood have permeated the
literature and the thought of the day. For
myself, while resenting and repudiating the
new dogma of human infallibility, l shall
remain in the society and work more Wig
orously than ever along the lines of scien-
tific thought and common sense founded by
Blavatsky and continued by w. Q. Judge
and await the return Of the majority to
soberness and sanity"

CARTER COURT-MARTIAL.
An Old Charge Against the Captain
Revived and Placed in Evidence.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb. 19-The Carter
court-martial will leave Savannah for New
York on next Wednesday. After taking
evidence there for two or three days the
court will return to Savannah and remain
until the session closes. An old charge
against Captain Carter when he was only
a lieutenant was revived to-day when doc
umentary evidence was introduced. A let
ter was received from Captain Carter to
Captain Is. d. Green in New York, asking
him to make an affidavit for publication in
the newspapers declaring certain damaging
statements made about Carter and Green
by w. r. Curtis to be false. The outline
of the affidavit desired was given in the
letter which went in evidence In pro-
testing against the Introduction of one
personal letter Mr. Blair Captain Carter's
attorney, probably gave some insight into
what the defense is to be regarding a good

ness affairs and speculations. He said
Captain Carter az the time these letters
were written probably intended leaving the
service, as Captain Green had done some
time before him.
