Nothing s:tve that of a routine nature was transacted. Hon. II. E. Taubeneck of Marshall, 111 chairman of the people's party natioi al committee, was present and addressed the meeting. To a reporter the popu list maguate said respecting the peo ple's party's prospects and plans: "1 am at a loss to understand why it is that the business world is not enter ing upon an unwonted era of pros perity owing to the passage of the repeal bill. I expected to see capital ists unlock their coffers and give money snd work to the horJes of u employed who are crying for bread, but I roust say that I have been cruelly disap pointed. Financial affairs are no easier or more hopeful now than they were two mouths ago." -Wnat will be the future policy of the people's party r" was asked. "We will continue te toil along the same lines S3 heretofore, only our con stant aim will be to unite the south and west. Iu that union lies our only hope for success. The people of those sections should be mutual allies as their interests are identical as opposed o those of the east." CRITICISED SECRETARY MORTON. In his address President C. A. Robin, son of Fountaintown, Ind., detailed the history of the organization and its work in smashing the cordage trust, providing a market for farmers and purchasing for them supplies on a co operative plan. He strongly favored a union of all farm organizations and se verely criticised Secret nry of Agricul ture Morton for bis slap at farmers' organizations at the world's fair con gress. The day was largely taken np in re ports, which show the order to be In excellent shape and growing. Much ti.ne was spent in trying to formulate a plan for the union of all farm organi zations. The following resolutions were adopted: Resolved. That we hereby reiterate and affirm our adherence to the funda mental principles upon which our or ganization is founded. That we emphasize the importance of a higher education and increased social and fraternal relations among farmers and commend our lodges as the most valuable means to this end. That we unequivocally condemn the utterances attributed to Secretary of Agriculture Morton in bis speech at the world's fair congress, and we feel that hia offensive reference to farm or ganizations should be withdrawn.

The Brand ex ecutive committee of the order of rail way telegraph operators, whicii i as been in special session in this city for two days concluded its labors tonight. D. G. Ramsey, grand chief of the order, and the members of the committee were present. The principal business transacted was the adoption of a res olution reciting that: "believing in the entire innocense of D G. Ramsay re garding the Burlington, Cedar II 1 1 ids & Northern wire cutting, this rcrnm -tee will sustain him individually, in his defense.'' The former action n fus ing to call a special meet in.' of I he grand division was endorsed. All ac counts were examined and found cor rect, and the grand chief came out with flying colors, when it was not ex pected he would fare so wel . The grand chief said be would go at once to Council Bluffs, la., and accept ser vice in the suit in equity brought against the order there. He did nut want to give his enemies a chance to say he was running away or he would go to the scene of the Lehigh Valley strike, a reporter the grand chief said in re gard to the strike: "I have just re ceived telegrams that strikers are more then holding their own; that wrecks are of constant occurrence; train aie run off the side-tracks and the niuin tracks and that all the strikers are as solid as a reck.

Goshe. Ind.,Xov. 27. This city was thrown into a fever of excitement last Saturday night by a desperate attempt made almost within the city limits to wreck the New York fast express on the Lake Shore road, which is due here at 12. -09. At 12 o'clock a histnng in the Lake Shore yaris and from the water works plant, which Is located very close to the Lake Shore freight depot, brought two of the night police and a number of citizens to the scene. They found the first section of No. 60, the Chicago anJ Xew York fast meat train, in the yards and a badly battered train crew. Two attempts had been made to use the last ten cars of the train to carry out a distardly attempt to wreck. No. 12, the Xew York fast express on the Lake hore. The attempted hold up was conducted on a singularly new plan of train robbery. It was, how everj brought to an unsuccessful end by the resistance of the traiumeu, who fought a coust-int battle during the run of ten miles from E .hart here. The first of No. 60 pul ed out of Elk hart at 10:23 with ord rs to run to Lihonier without stopping. All seemed well with the train, but when about a mile from Elkhart the conductor, John Hickok, and two brakemen were at tacked by a band of eight burly tramps, who, it is since learued, boaroed the train at Elkhart and had been con cealed between th3 cars. They over powered the crew and were proceeding to disconnect the last ten cars, when the conductor, assisted by the engineer and fireman, again secured control of the train. A second attempt was made five miles iurther on, and from that point into Goshen, a run of four miles, a desperate fight was waged between the eight robbers and the trainmen. Conductor Hick ok, who knew the im minent danger of No. 12 running into the freight encouraged the brakemen and the extra conductor, Campbell, who happened to be on the train, and they waged a succes.fui fight until the train reached the Goshen yards. The battle was desperate (or the last (our miles and Conductor Hickok was bad ly bruised and pummelled, as was also one of the brakemen. The robbers secured four watches and all the money belonging to the crew. A Bloody Deed. Seymour, Ind., Nov. 27. As the re-, suit of a terrible tagedy growing out of, a family feud, five people are dead in! their country home, seven miles east of' this city. Four years ago Clintok Jor dan, then twenty-one years old, married a daughter of Joshua Foster, with whom he has never lived happily. Last week they separated finally and she re turned to the borne of her father. Laat Saturday night Jordan met hia father-in-law and accompanied bin home, con trary to the wishes of the latter, who feared trouble. Jordan promised to behave, but shortly after his arrival at Foster's home he began a quarrel. Foster then ordered him out of the house, when Jordan fired at the old man, but miss d him, the ball striking Miss Cora Foster, aged eighteen, in the head, killing her instantly. His sec ond shot hit Foster in the head and he fell, but soon arose aud ran a quarter of a mile to the borne of bis son-in-law, William Powell, where be fell and lin gered until late iu the afternoon when be died. Jordan then turned his revolver toward Mrs. Foster, his mother-in-law, shooting her in the back, the ball rang ing downward and causing a wound from which she died. Jordan's wife attempted to defend her mother and he stabbed her repeatedly In the breast, hands and face and ended by shooting ber through the head. Jordan then coolly opened his vest and placed the revolver against bis breast sending a ball directly through his heart. He dropped dead instantly, falling across the dead body of bis wife. Pretty Rough Trratmant. Columbus, 0 , Xov. 27. Three men assaulted Daniel Thomas, a farmer and capitalist living a half mile from this city, as he went to his barn early yts-j terday morning, and binding him securely carried him to the house, where Mrs. Thomas the only person on the farm, was also seized and bound Searching the bouse the robbers found no money and then demanded to know where f.50,000 which they claimed to know was in the house was kept. Thomas told them that the only money be had out of the bank was $25 in bis pocket book. They insisted that there was more in the bouse and taking off his shoes applied lighted matches to the soles of nis feet. They tortured him in this way for an hour and then left htm, having secured only the $2a and a gold watch, leaving Thomas and bis wife bound after having bound their mouths so they could not make an alarm. It was late in the dsy when Mrs. Thomas managed to free herself and arouse the neighborhood. They are both elderly persons and may not survive the rough treatment. A Shim firm rail Boston, Nov. 27.

The selection was prac tically made last June, before Mr.) Cleveland knew of my silver senti ments, and my candidate being passed win for entirety different reasons. 1 have not found fault with the pre -dent, nor is he seeking to treat me w. disrespect. The president is mu misunderstood. All this talk of ha i nar it in for those who opposed l s po.tcy ou the Sheriuau bill is sh t nonsense. The Chicago incident d proves that. The president bad i.j better friend in the senate than Senator Palmer, and no more enthusiastic sup porters than the Chicago delegation m the houpe, and yet he appoints t i men against their wishes. The tru i is the president has his own ideas A '.he fitness of men and he will pass y bis best friend's recommendations for a man whom he believes will make the better official. I had occasion not long ago to put the direct question to the president aa to the report that be had personally opposed me, and he showed me that be did not. 1 showed him a letter from a man whom he refused to appoint to an office at my suggestion in it the gentleman said his party con victions were stronger than the desire tor ttiat particular ollice, and he was as loy ul to the party at if be had never soucbt . lie ollice. When the president reau t... tetter he said: 'Martin, that's a good man; wire him if there is any other office I can give bun.'" Carlisle Oppose loroute Tax. Washington, Dec. 1 . Mr. McMil lln's sub-committee of the democratic members of the ways and means com mittee on Internal taxes was in session at the capitol two hours Wednesday. At 3 o'clock the democratic members of the committee held a conference. Mr. McMillen submitted the data which he bad secured from the treas ury department and census touching '.he question of an income tax. While the committee was formally discuxsing the proposition .secretary Carlisle as innounced. He remained in the c a inittee room about twenty minutes. Alter his departure the committee con vinued its Si sion with closed doors until 5 p. m. It was devoted solely to a considera n of tax of incomes. I he member of the committee stated that they ha i not considered whisky, but only the oe'ter plan of impoMng a tax on incomes. At tiiiiht the deno cratic members of the committee met at Secretary Carlisle's lintise for an other conference. The secretary is understood to be unfriendly to tho proposition to tax individual incomes and it is probable the matter will be compromised, which will impose the tax ma. nly ou legacies and corpo rations. Aftr the AarrfiUt. Paris, Dec. 1. The Geiman em bassy has not yet been instructed by the German government to approach the French government ou the subject of the infernal machines sent irorn Orleans to Emperor William and Chan cellor von Cadnvi It is expected, however, that the boxes containing the machines and the loiter which accom panied them will be sent to the French police, to Hssist in tr ick mir the persons who sent them, h i now learned that there Is no such street m Orleans as the Hue Boulogne. I rum which the letter to the emperor ;ui0 the German chancellor were alleged to have been dated. 'I be name De Chanteau, with which the letters were signed, is as yet unknown to the police at Orleaus. The inquiries of the Orleans police have hat' no result and they have uot the least clue to the person who sent the packages. The anarchists who posted placards iu various parts of the town and who, it was supposed, might be the culprits, have mysteriously dis appeared aud there is no tract, of them about. The police of Orleans believe that the strange anarchists were from Loud iti and that they were members of the International. The visitors only stayed a few hours in Orleans.
