Candidates for Ministry to BE Tested
on the Divine "CaIl."


Special to the indianapolis Journal
RICHMOND, Ind. Oct. S-The devotional
service at the Indiana Yearly Meeting of
Friends this morning was conducted by Eli
and Mary NJ. Parker and Esther Cook
Nathan Coggeshall, for many years
trustee of the meeting. was released on ac-
count of advanced age, and a committee APP
pointed to fill the vacancy. Timothy Mich
olson and Rev. Elwood o. Ellis, both of this
city, were chosen trustees OF Earlham Col
lege, position the former has held for over
thirty years. The report from Southland
College, which this Yearly Meeting has for
many years maintained, near Helena, Ark,
for the education of colored youth. showed
the following: Enrolled, 1s4; college depart
ment, 5; normal department, Ga; model de-
partment, ITO: Industrial department. s.:
musical department, 20.
The question of changing the discipline in
regard to the recording of ministers was
discussed at length. The following will be
the reading of the discipline on this aues-
ton: "A deeply spiritual and well-settled
religious experience is an essential to the
work of the ministry. While intellectual
preparation cannot make minister, meet
ings should see to it that none is recorded
who Is negligent in this regard. or who is
Ignorant OF the history OF the cnurch and
the doctrines most commonly held in its va
rious branches. Care should be taken
to guard against narrowness and
also against a tendency to depreciate
either intellectual or spiritual fitness for
the ministry. Above all there should be
satisfactory evidence of the amounting of the
Holy Spirit for the service. When prepar-
alive meeting of ministers and elders is
persuaded that any member of the monthly
meeting is called to the ministry it shall
oineially encourage preparation for and ex-
ercise of this gift through committee.
such ofnciai encouragement shall not, how
ever, extend longer than one year without
reconsideration by the preparative meeting
When the preparative meeting of ministers
and elders is satisfied as to the call of God
the development of gift and the moral and
intellectual fitness of the person, il shall
forward his name. with its approval, to the
quarterly meeting of ministers and elders.
who shall there appoint a judiciary COM
mittee TO examine as TO the doctrinal, spirit
ual, moral, intellectual and personal qualifi-
cations OF the person so reported"
1t was decided that when a minister from
another church joins the Friends he shall be
taken IN simply as member and not as
minister.

President Mckinley TO abolish the army

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Tommy White, of
Chicago. and Danny Mcbride, of New York,
met tonight at the Greater New York Ath-

decide the 126-pound championship. but the
fight lasted little less than one-fourth of

ner by long Odds Whites reach was a big
advantage to him. and from the first round
it was apparent that he would get all the
money. Mcbride was game to the core but
he was outclassed. In the sixth round he
was sent to the floor three times In quick
succession with heavy right swings on the
jaw, and the referee mercifully stopped the
bout then and there in order TO prevent Dan
ny being knocked out and probably seriously
injured

BrS ENTITIES.

Tuesday evening Mir. John Maloney came in from his mine at Pefia Blanca very painfully if not seriously injured While working at the mine large boulder had rolled under his foot, throwing him down steep, rocky declivity, and hurting his ankle very severely. This occurred Monday eve ming. Tuesday he saddled his horse and rode home. When he arrived the injured ankle was swollen so it was impossible to determine whether any bones were fractured, and the attend ing surgeons have at this writing Friday not yet succeeded in redu- cing the swelling.
 Don't fail to go to the opera house next Tuesday night and witness the celebrated Corbett- -Fit2smmons fight. The people of Nogales, by the aid of the world-renow veriscope, will be able to view this celebrated contest as it actually occurred. Every detail is carefully portrayed. The contest ants, attendants, police, etc, will all be there. The alleged knockout blow is also plainly shown and the manage ment will stop the machine long enough to enable the audience to more plainly observe this blow so that they may form their own opinion as to whether it was foul vr not. MT. W. H. Wheelock, who was D esent at the contest at Carson City, New, will lecture before the curtain during the exhibition. The election returns will be read to the audience from the stage, the company having subscribed for the Associated Press bulletins.

A Narrow Gauge Extension.

Grande, Sierra Madre x Pacific rail. way company has in contemplation the construction of mountain nar- row gauge railway into and across the great Sierra Madre range from Casas Grandes to a point near Bacerac in Sonora. J. P. Ramsey, general man. ager and J. T. Logan, general traffic agent of the R. G., $. NJ. & P. two weeks ago completed tour through the range in the vicinity of Chiu- chupa, Guaynopa and west of those localities. While these two gentle men refuse to say such line will be built, yet it is known that It has been in contemplation for several months and that their visit to the country was in connection with this contem- plated extension. This belief of the early building Uf the line is further strengthened by The fact that General Traffic Agent Logan has again depart ed for the same regloD, except that he will cover the field more thoroughly and is on this occasion visiting all the producing mines for the purpose of making a memorandum of theIr ship ping capacity. Heis particularly in- terested, seemingly, in learning the probable outputs of the "Ciuco de Mayo" mine at Pllares and of he fla mously rich mine belonging to Monroe Harper and others at Bacerac, which has in the Last few weeks been leased G w. Wood here are number of other mines on the route to those mentioned which would become heavy shippers when transportation would be available as contemplated by the construction of the narrow gauge line.
 HARPER's MINE AT BACERAC.
 It is estimated that the mines at Bacerac, which G. w. Wood recently leased from Monroe Harper will pro duce an enormous quantity Of ore every day. The mine has been open ed up along the length of the prop erty, distance of ! 200 feet, by about 3,6O0 feet of development work. all in ore and in many places of very high grade. The development work has been done principally by tunnels, and with one exception of an uprise be- tween two tunnels with short stope adjacent, no stoping has been done. The minimum value of the ore shipped to Fl Paso has been 225 ounces silver. The mine has yielded up to the pres ent time since it's discovery over 95,000.0O U. s. currency, of shipping ore that has been marked. Tine gold value of the ore averages one ounce to the 100 ounces of silver contained in the ore. The vein varies in width from eighteen inches at the narrow est point found in the mine, to thir- teen feet, and is continuous and ore bearing in all the workings in the lead. Above one drift alone which has been opened for distance Of 25O feet at depth of over 300 feet, where the lead is full l3 feet wide it has been estimated to contain block of ore Of gross valuation of s2,OOO,OOO, | U. $. currency. The mine gives every evidence of being one of the richest and largest mineral deposits in north ern Mexico and when a railway lin9 comes within close proximity and the low grade ore can be shipped it will prove veritable bonanza to it's owners.

BORDER LINE MARRIAGES.
Brisk Buslncss on the Boundary Be
tween Maine and Canada.

No matter what excitement is going on
the traffic in marriages between the bor-
der towns on both sides of the Canadian
line always is brisk. Every lawyers
office just across she line from either side
is veritabie Gretna Green whenever
such convenience Is necessary.
The Canadians are perhaps. more in
clined to take advantage of this oppor-
tunity for cheap International marriage
ceremonies than are the people who re-
side on this side of the line. but each
nation is a good patron of the other.
and large number of matrimonial knots
are tied every year along the divide.
The reason for the extra eagerness for
a marriage ceremony performed out OF
the country on the part OF the Canadian
couples who come across to interview
American justices of the peace may
be accounted for from the fact that
Canadian marriage license Of the cheapest
variety costs at least ST. while for the
queens subjects to be married on the
American side Of the line requires no
license at all.

Searching for Gypsies Believed to
Have stolen His Child


George Conklin. who lives several miles
from Weiton. Delaware County. N. Y.
arrived in Binghamton yesterday search
ing for a band Of gypsies. which. he
thinks. is in possession of his child On
the afternoon Of July II Conklin and his
wife were berry-hunting on the Shawan-
gunk Mountains, and left the little one
asleep under a tree while they went a
short distance further. When they re-
turned she was gone. and no trace Of her
could be found, though the neighbors
searched the woods in all directions. Sew
eral gypsy camps were located in the vi
cinity. and the family became satisfied
that the wanderers were responsible for
the disappearance. The belief was
strengthened when the mother called on
a clairvoyant and was told that the child
was with tribe of gypsies near this city.
who were making their way West. The
father learned that a band of gypsies had
been camping near Bennett Park. They
had several children, among them a gold
en-haired tot of four years. who answered
the description Of the missing child. and
who evidently did not belong to the tribe.
The gypsies broke camp hurriedly a
few days ago and disappeared westward,
going. 1t was surmised. to Elmira. Mr..
Conklin left for that city, but 1t is prob
able that the band went into the Penn
syivania woods before reaching that
