Ninde, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, on the occasion of his taking up his residence in Topexa, October 22. Not only the Methodist people, but all Kansana are to be congratulated on the accession of thia distinguished clergyman and hia family as citizens of Kansas.

There are few men who combine eminent ability and lofty purity of life and character with simple and sweet-spirited self-unconsciousness in so marked a degree as Bishop Ninde. Emporia News The Rev. Dr. James Barnett, recently deceased, of Emjoria, waa very prominent in the United Prea-byterian Church. Dr.

Barnett waa born in 1816, was edacated at the Miami University in Ohio, and over forty years ago began his career in the ministry. After his graduation, the first years of hia ministry were spent in missionary work in in the then unsettled portions of the West. Hia first sermon was preached in the city of Chicago, then scarcely indicating the promise of ita future great-nesa. He waa the first missionary sent out under the auspices of the United Presbyterian Church, and in hia early missionary trips he preached to the Indiana in some portions of thia State, within whose bounds he has now quietly ended his daya, and whose wonderful progress he haa thus been permitted to see from the beginning. Next, moved by the divine impulse, he heard the voice of need in foreign lands, and was sent by hia Church aa a missionary to Damascus, where he spent ten yearn, thence going to Cairo, Egypt, whence, after ten yeara more of labor, he returned to hia native country in 1865.

During hia visit to this country at that time he married, immediately thereafter returning to Cairo, where he and hia wife continued to engage in active missionary effort, until the condition of his health, a few years later, necessitated a return, the return trip occupying several years of travel through Palestine, Syria, Italy, and other portions of Southern Europe and the British Isles. missioners have decided to submit a imals were finally beaten olf with iron bars, after Clark's arms and legs had been all seasons oi the year. proposition to the voters of the county Harlan C7ti: A report comes to us of crunched and mutilated.

Upon the receipt of the news of the wreck at Topeka, Assistant Master Mechanic Clem.

U. of Topeka, of which he was a member. Blaine in Ohio. Massilon, October 8. Mr.

Blaine, accompanied by Hon. Wm. McKinley and by a long line of private carriages, drove over this morning from Canton to Massilon, eight miles. The scenery between the two places is very beautiful, and as the weather was fair the carriage drive was a refreshing relief from railway travel. Nearly all the houses and stores along the main street by which Massilon was entered were beautifully decorated with Blaine and Logan flags and other Republican emblems, and more than that the whole population of the town seemed to be out to receive Mr.

Blaine. Upon the programme waa a procession composed of Republican clubs and manufacturing operations carried on in this part of the State. When, at a little alter 11 o'clock, Mr. Blaine appeared upon the stand from which he waa to review the procession the clubs and organizations were passing up to this point, where they were to fall in line, and as they passed near the stand three cheers for Blaine and Logan and McKinley were given. Among those on the stand with Mr.

Blaine were Senator Cullom, of Illinois, ex-Secretary Windom, Wm. McKinley and Hon. W. A. Tenney, of New York.

While Mr. Blaine waa watching for the procession many of the people were presented to him, and many others presented themselves and insisted on shaking hands with the "next President," as they called him. Among those who thus approached Blaine was an elderly man whom he saluted with a "How are you Euley? I am very glad to see you." Mr. Euley proved to be an old schoolmate of Blaine whom he had not met since 1S47. Before noon, and before the procession was ready to move, there was a heavy shower which compelled the occupants of the stand to seek shelter and dispersed the crowd for a time.

Massillion, October 8. Shortly after 1 o'clock the rain ceased. The numbers in the streets seemed to have increased since morning, and the demonstrations of the people seemed to be even greater than in the morning. Arriving at the Fair grounds, Mr. Blaine was escorted to the stand in the midst of a great tent constructed to hold over ten thousand people.

The tent was already packed full, and thousands more were gathered around it outaioe. When the demonstrations with which Mr. Blaine was received had subsided, he made the following speech "Men of Ohio: In a procession of our political opponents at Youngstown recently, there appeared a man and woman in rags and apparent wretchedness, bearing the inscription: "This is what protection has done for us."

J. B. Ward, an accountant employed by the city of Newark, New Jersey, to examine the various departments, has reported that during the twelve years ending in 1876, City Treasurer John Stout, who died a ago, habitually loaned city money to contractors and others without due warrant of law. The accountant says he is unable at present to state the loss that the city then suilered, as the books were not well kept, but he puts down $70,000 as not being accounted for. All the money lost, if any, has since been received from other sources, and no present difficulty exists.

In the investigation which is still progressing, the developments show carelessness and probably fraud on the part of Stout, but they do not atlect the present condition of the city finances. Minnie Palmer, the actress, has sued Richard K. Fox, of he Police Gazette, for libel, claiming $25,000 damages. She charges that several libelous articles were published in the Police Gazette, in which her relations with her manager, John it. Rogers, were misrepresented, and that the article reflected seriously upon her char so ter and reputation in every respect possible.

The case came up before Jndw Trnax in the Superior Court or New York City. Fox put in an answer, in which he acknowledges the publication of the alleged libel, but claims that it was puolished for the purpose of advertising her charts. Spencer, counsel for Fox, claims that Bog-era promised his client that if he would publish portrait of Miaa Palmer and give her a favorable notice in his paper that the case would not be pressed. The counsel tor Miss Palmer denied the statement of Spencer, and desired to put in an affidavit to that euect. The federation of Trade and Labor Unions, consisting of representatives from various labor organizations of the United States and Canada has been in Bession at Chicago.

1. II. McLogan, called the meeting to order, and the address of welcome was delivered by City Attorney Grin-nell, on behalf of the city, in the absence of the Mayor. The object of this annual assembly is to discuss the questions at issue between capital and labor, and to disseminate euch viewa among the organized working people of the country as will secure recognition for them. The delegates number fifty, and claim to represent nearly a million of wage workers.

Politics will torm no part of their deliberations, although it is probable there will be some discussion concerning the tariff.

The present supposition is that the wholesale murder in Nance county, Nebraska, was committed by H. A. G. Baird, a young man of twenty-one years, for wnom $1,000 reward has been offered. Sheriff Hebell, of Nance county, arrived, having traced Baird to tnis city.

The theory is that Baird, during her husband's absence, criminally assaulted Mrs. Percival, who was en ciente and brutally produced a miscarriage, then to seal the woman's lips murdered her, and awairing the husband return killed him. The circumstances indicate that Baird was pursued by Hugh Mair, the neighbor, and during the flight shot and killed Mair; that then he rode to Fullerton and took the train for Omaha. It is thonght that he pawned some jewelry here and started for New York, en route to England. Baird is an Englishman of good appearance and has been living some time with Percival.
