During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay county, w. Va,
struck his leg against a cake of ice
i'm such manner as to bruise it Sc
verely. 1t became very much swollen
and pained him so badly that he could
not walk without the aid of crutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and
two and a half gallons OF whiskey in
bathing it, but nothing gave any relief
until he began using Chambarllin's
Pain Balm. This brought almost a
complete cure in a weeks time and
he believes that had he not used this
remedy his leg would have had to be
amputated. Pain Balm Is unequaled
for sprains, bruises and rheumatism.

COTTON.

New York, October 13.-The opening

bles and support i'll the shape of buying

with an advance, however, and as soon
as the European buying power had ex-
hausted itself long cotton made it's ap-
pearance in large blocks. Prices soon
returned to last nights close and con
tinued to decline as the session pro-
crossed. 1t was rumored that many
heretofore bulls had quietly unloaded
their holdings around 100 for January

the market. Reported lower spot prices

ROUGHS STONE A TRAIN
THREE INDIANAPOLIS PEOPLE HURT
ON A SUNDAY EXCURSION.
A Sheridan Element Vengeful Because
the Lake Trains Did Not
Stop There.

Passengers who came In on the Monon'
Cedar lake excursion last night reported
that the train was assaulted by roughS as
it passed through the town of Sheridan.
The train arrived here about 1880 o'clock,
bringing home a large crowd of people who
had spent the day at the lake. At Sheridan
powders were thrown INTO the cars. Several
people were hurt by the stones and broken
glass. n. A. Woods, of 2230 Dewey avenue,
who was one OF the excursionists, was pain
fully injured. A large stone. that was after
wards estimated to weigh more than a
pound, crashed through the window at his
side, striking him in the head. His face
was also badly cut by flying glass. Two
women were injured but not seriously. One
was Mrs. Egger. of 927 Olive street. and
the other a Mrs. Miller, living at AT East
Washington street. DR.. 7. j. McShane, the
railroad company'S surgeon here, attended
the injured people last night.
Passengers who were on the train said
last night that the railroad men considered
the assault a "piece of spite work" The
Monon excursion trains to Cedar lake have
not been stopping at Sheridan and some of
the roughs of that place have resented the
slight, IL was said.

At SIMPSON CHAPEL.
Large Crowd at the Cornerstone Lay
ing Yesterday.

The roadway at the corner of Missouri
and Eleventh streets was blocked yesterday
afternoon by fully six hundred people, who
either stood or sat on improvised seats on
two sides Of the new church building which
the Simpson Chapel congregation is erect
ing on the site of the old church. The &C.
casion was the cornerstone laying of the
new building and every colored preacher
in the city was present to help Presiding
Elder E. l.. Gillian, who had charge of
the ceremonies, which in themselves were
very simple, being but the formal pro-
gramme outlined in the ritual of the A. M.
E. Church.
1t was the speeches following the formal
ceremony that reused enthusiasm and
brought forth the money required to pro-
coed with the work on the building. The
first three speeches were by Revs. d. A.
Graham, of the Vermont-street Church,; A.
Wakefield, of lions A. NJ. E. Church, and
Abraham Murray, of Aliens Chapel. Mayor
Thomas Taggart, who had been the center
of attention throughout the meeting by
reason of bis being the only white man in
the audience except a few curious ones on
the outskirts of the crowd, was the last
speaker. He was called forth from the rear
of the platform to close the speaking. He
told of his pleasure in being permitted to
be present at a which testified
to the united action and thought of the
colored people of Indianapolis in the cree

|. T. u. HEADQUARTERS.
They Will Continue to Remain i'm In
annapolis as Heretofore.

Fremont Frey, one of the delegates to the
annual convention Of the International Ty-
biographical Union at Detroit last week,
returned yesterday. Mr. Frey. who repre-
scented the Stereotypers' Union of this city,
said the convention was the largest the
organization had ever held. The allied
trades, he said, were represented by thirty
delegates, from all sections of the United
States and Canada. Many Of the printer
delegates expressed themselves TO the effect
that the allied trades were more intelli-
gently represented than in past conventions,
as autonomy was granted to them last year.
1t vas feared by the local union that the
International Typographical Union head
quarters might be taken away from this
city, but it seemed almost the universal
opinion Of the delegates that the headquar-
is moved 1t would injuriously affect the
trade at large indianapolis being centrally
located and owing TO its size, free from
the political influences which are brought
to bear in larger cities. was looked on so
favorably that no effort was made TO change
the location. Washington, d. c., annually
makes a bid for the headquarters, but real
iZing the futility OF the effort the delegates
from the capital city made no fight for the
headquarters at this convention. 1t is said
the headquarters give the local union so, 0O
worth Of work annually.
President Samuel Il. Donnelly presided at
the convention for the first time. The re-
turned delegates say he won the favor of
the convention by his courteous methods
and parliamentary efficiency.
Robert II. Grubbs and Edward z. Barry.
who represented Indianapolis Typographical
Union No. i, are expected home to-day.

DEATH in WHITE RIVER
WHILE SWIMMING HENRY KOKE-
MILLER SANK TO THE BOTTOM.
Supposed to Have Been Stricken with
Heart Disease-JOhn Ma.
honey's Attempt.

Henry Kokemiller, thirty-four years Of
age, who lived at n16 South Senate avenue,
met his death in White river about l o'clock
yesterday morning, about twelve miles
south of the city. 1t is supposed he was
stricken with heart disease while in the
water and sank to the bottom. Kokemiller,
with Albert Kiefer, Ill West Morris street;
Herbert Hale, 1913 South Meridian street;
Henry Kuhn. Of South Pennsylvania street,
and Howard Kokemiller, a brother of
Henry, left the city about 10 o'clock Satur-
day night with a wagon load of provisions
for their camp south of the city, on the
east side of the river. where they and sew
eral others had been camping since July /.
When hey reached the river 1t was found
that the boat necessary TO convey the load
to the camp was on the opposite side. Eff
forts were made to arouse some of those
sleeping in the tents, but without avail.
Henry Kokemiller hen took off his cloth
ing and started TO swim across to get the
boat The rest Of the. party waited for
some time on the bank, and as he did not
respond to their calls, Howard Kokemiller
swan across and looked through the camp
for his brother, but could not find him.
Thinking. perhaps, the missing man was
yet In the water, he took the boat and
pulled out into the stream and when about
the middle got out and waded. The water
was only four feet deep. and he had not
gone far when he stepped upon the body Of
his brother, lying face downward. The other
members of the camping party were told
of what he had found and the body was
put into the boat and taken TO camp. How
ard Kokemiller then returned to the city in
the wagon and advised the coroner and the
relatives of the dead man. The coroner,
after investigation, thought that Kokemiller
had died of heart disease. His father died
from the same trouble, and although the
son had never been treated for the disease,
he complained frequently Of it. Kokemiller
was unmarried.
Last evening Patrolman Bernauer was
told that a man was trying to drown him
self in White river at Morris street. He
found John Mahoney, 41 South West street,
I'm the water. He was pulled out and sent
to the police station as drunk Mahoney
said he was an intimate friend of Kokemil-
Ter and was much affected when advised
of the death of his friend. He began drink
ing liquor and declared his intention of fol-
lowing Kokemiller by drowning himself.

CIVIL SERVICE DIDN'T FIT.
Changes to BE Made in the Revenue
Department Questions.

The Civil-service Commission is sending
out to different internal revenue collectors
letters asking for suggestions as to the
proper questions to be submitted to those
who take the examination for places as
gaugers. storekeepers and deputy collectors.
The commission ~contemplates a change in
the character Of the questions. Heretofore
those appointed under the examination in
elementary branches have been found to be
wholly ignorant of the duties expected of
them. The purpose of the change in ques-
tons is to ascertain whether or not the ap-
plicant has any technical knowledge of the
distillery business or the tobacco industry.
