IN NEED OF MONEY.
Methodist Board of church Extension
Fund O~verdrawn o

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK. Sept. 2S.-The Board Of
Church Extension of the Methodist Church
announces that it's general fund IS over
drawn nearly $4,000. and that it has made
donations. or promises of donations, which,
If paid. would make the fund overdrawn
nearly s105, 900. and that the board must
have a great increase in collections or it
will be greatly embarrassed. One of the OBJ
legations under which the board labors is
to give help to the two churches In Jack
sonvflle that were destroyed by fire, and for
emergencies in Texas which have not yet
been taken care Of. In addition to these
the board is asked by the missionary COM
mfttee of the Methodist Church to Coop
crate with II in establishing missions on the
Island of Porto Rico. and at least $12, 600 is
needed at once for this purpose. 1t is not
likely that the present embarrassment will
continue, for the fall conferences will soon
meet and appropriations will be made at
them which. 1t Is hoped, will meet the def
cheney as We'll as provide funds for the
special work Indicated.

IN SOLID MASONRY.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 2s.-The burial
of the remains OF Abraham Lincoln has
been practically completed. Half a dozen
workmen were occupied all day yesterday
cementing over the cage in which the
casket was placed on Thursday, in the
vault at the base of the monument shaft.
Over six feet of cement had been laid over
the casket when work was suspended last
night. The rest OF the cement was laid
to-day. and the tile flooring of the tomb
will be laid on Monday. The marble
sarcophagus, originally intended for the re-
ception of the body, will be replaced in its
old position IN the tomb, early next week.
1t is thought that no further removal of
the body will ever be made. The casket
is buried thirteen feet in the ground, be-
meath the tomb containing the crypts
where lie the other member of the family.
on a cement base. four feet in thickness.
rests the iron cage inclosing the casket.
Above the cage is eight feet of solid mason
~. 1t would take a large force of work
men several days TO eXhume the casket
under the most favorable circumstances.

SOM Is NOT aid.
Prisoner II Well Treated, According
to N Figaro Dispatch-OppOsi-
ton to Making Payment.

PARIS. Sept. "a Paris newspaper cor
respondent sends word to the Figaro, on
the staff OF which he is employed, that he
has just returned from a visit to Miss
Ellen NJ. Stone, of the American Board
of Foreign Missions. who is held by bril-
gands I'm a mountainous region OF Turkey.
The correspondent wires that he succeeded
I'm locating Miss Stone in an almost mac
cessible mountain defle. The chief Of the
outlaws permitted the correspondent to see
Miss Stone and talk with her. Miss Stone
told her visitor that she had been treated
with exceeding courtesy ever since her cap
ture. Two brigands were detailed to act
as her personal servants, providing her
with good food and showing her every at
tention. The brigands had instructions TO
obey her merest within and to show with
what degree of consideration she was
treated, she told the newspaper man that,
having exhausted all the films for her ko-
dak, she had said that she wished she had
more. The desire was repeated to the chief
OF the ~brigands. who posted q courier off
TO ConstantinOple 10 secure a supply for
her. This meant a week of steady travel
ing by mule over dangerous and rocky
mountain paths.
The leader OF the brigands told the cor
respondent that unless a ransom of $4,000
was forthcoming within thirty days Miss
Stone would either be put TO death or be
compelled To marry one of the bandits. 1t
is believed the bandit Will keep his word.
The situation recalls the capture by those
same ~brigands. in the same region, six
years ago, of Madame Gerard de Trincvilie,
a beautiful French heriess, who is now a
Carmelte nun. Through the dishonesty of
a Turkish official by whom the ransom was
NEGOTIATED. the money failed to reach the
bandits. The lovely French girl was there
fore forced TO become the wife of a men,
her of the outlaw gang She was rescued
seven months later in a battle. in which her
father killed her bandit husband.

EARNINGS OF SANTA FE.

NEW YORK. Sept 2S.-The annual re-
port of President Ripley. of the Atchison.
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, for the fiscal
year ended June 30 last. shows total earn
ings of s54,4 74, SO, IN increase of IS, 242, IA
over the previous year. The total operating
expenses were So, 262, 9l5, being an increase
over the previous year of "a, al. AS. The net

for dividend and surplus purposes.
President Ripley concluded his report as
follows: Notwithstanding an almost total
failure OF corn crop in Kansas and Okla
hOma, il is not believed that earnings for
the coming year Will be less satisfactory
than those of the last year. The direct
gross earnings of your property from
freight on corn during the year covered by
this report were approximately 10000. Of
which about One-third came from sections
in which there is little or no damage. The
indirect loss OF earnings con cattle and
hogs cannot be accurately computed. but
it is believed that increased tonnage in
other lines of business and other territory
will quite compensate therefor

HUNDREDS OF ORGANS.
Mr.. Carnegie Is Giving Them to the
Churches of Scotland.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Home from Scot
land, after spending the summer as the
guest of Andrew Carnegie at Skibo Castle,
the Rev. D.. S. Mackay, pastor of the Fifth
avenue Collegiate Church, in an interview
told of the development of Mr.. Carnegie's
philanthropic plans; of his intention to re-
turn TO the United States in November, and
of Mrs. Carnegie's cooperation with her
husband in dispensing the great Carnegie
fortune. Mr.. Mackay said:
Mr.. Carnegie is a very busy man. His
latest benefaction was to provide the
churches of Scotland with organs. Thus
far, his secretary told me, orders have been
given for $50 instruments, ranging in value
from 81 500 to $500 each, so that nearly
100000 must have been expended in this
way. Mr.. Carnegie is fond of music, and
although his munificence threatens the pop
ularity of the bagpipe, l believe the organs
will do much to soften the austerity of the
Scotch service. Mrs. Carnegie has entered
heart AMI soul into her husbands plans.
MI. and Mrs. Carnegie and their daugh-
ter Margaret will return to New York on
the steamship st. Louis early i'm November.
Mr.. Carnegie's only reference to business
matters while / was with him related TO the
strike of the steel workers in this country.
He said he could have prevented the strike
ii he had been in P%ittsburg to confer with
the men,

release of Miss Helen NJ. Stone, of Chelsea.
Mass. the American missionary o held
by Bulgarian brigands.
When shown a statement by DR.. Cregan.
New York secretary of the American board,
that the ransom would be a dangerous
precedent. the Rev. DIT. Judson Smith. sec
Rotary OF the American board. expressed
his hearty appreciation.
''The board would never consider such a
proposition" he said. The rescue of Miss
Stone Is in the hands Of the government.
We have had missionaries in Turkey for
two generations. but never a case like this.
Should We offer a ransom missionaries
would never be safe from capture.
