THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1889 SIXTEEN PAGES. in THE MORMONS IN INDIANA Activity of Latter-Day Saints inauOtit-of-the-Way Corner of Greene County. A Conference cf Elders and a Prolonged Joint Discussion Between the Followers of Joseph Smith and Alexander Campbell. StaT CorrfroniIence of the IndiAmptfia Journal. Clifty Church, near Robinson, Greene county, Indiana, Oct.

Mormouism and orthodoxy have linally locked horns in this portion of Indiana, and one contest is being fought to a finish iu this little chnrch in the tvilds of Greene county. Your correspondent came over yesterday and found the followers of Urigham a good deal better in. trenched than the people of the State havo been led to believe. In other counties of the southern tier, such as Crawford and Hurrisou. their operations havo been interfered with considerably by the hostility of people they havo undertaken to and in pome caees the itiunty regulators or White Caps have takes the matter in hand.

and by -whipping th Mormons iu some instances and by threats in others have driven them oat ot the neighborhood. Here, for some reason, they have leen given a more cordial reception. They wade their appearance near Swit. Citr.in the nouthwestern end of the conntjr, about a year ao, and began a very humble kind of iield-work, sleeping in haystacks when they could not secure freo lodging of better quality, begging their meals at farm-houses and preaching at cross-roads or schools wherever they could get people to listen. They gradually worked their way oast, along the lineof the Bedford llloomlield division of tho X.

A. C. railroad, to the vicinity of I'obinsont a hamlet about seventeen miles frori Switz t'ity, and. by tho treatment they received, fettled down for a season of ouirt duration. They found board and lodging with the hill iarmers, got acquainted with people along tho railroad, and in a few wee-3 were doing tho bulk of tho religions proselj'ting transacted in that immediate vicinity.

Last September they held a regular couferenco here, at which eighteen elders were present, and wince that time their work has gone on withoat interruption. About the 20th of list month the friends of CharI- G. llydo, the Mormon elder who has been most prominent in the movement iu this State, were ko encouraged by his ministration that they lxcatue ttesiroua of Jiavinp him debate the claims of Mormon- inn with some of tho clergymen of other ations. and challenge to that end Avas issued, especially direoted to the disciples of Christ, Christian or Cainpbell-ites, as they are sometimes called, who constitute one of tho most active and iniluen-tial religions denominations in this community. Tho challcngo was accompanied by an otler to pay tho expenses of an opposition orator, and was not allowed to go unheeded.

To neglect it, indeed, would have been to neglect the xuottt prominent example set by Alexauder Campbell, for it there was anything that distinguished diviuo was prompt in doing it was in accepting invitations to measure swords with opponents iu theology in open public debate. From Hobert Owen up to Archbishop Parcel! he did battle in this way with most of the social and religious controversialists of his time. It did not take Jong to tind a defender of the faith in tho perbon of Kev. W. 11.

Krutnmyer, tho minister of the Christian society at Elletsville, and tho combat was arranged to begin at Clifty Church, near Kobinaoii. yesterday. I came up onthe littlo narrow-gauee rail-mad that runs from Bedford to Bloomfiold. and from the tiwh loft Switz City I heard of little else" besidb ho approaching debate. A considerable Proportion ot' the population along the wry seemed to havo abandoned all otter pursuits in their desire to vt at the ex act facta in the case, and tho amount of store-box theology to which 1 listened, ranged all tho way round from the literal acceptance of Talraage to the irreverent agnosticism of IugorsolL Leaving the train at Kobinson.

and securing a stout team and energetic driver, I took the Joiieshoru road to Clifty Church. Tho Joneaboro road for a considerable part of the way is located in the bed of the Jones- boro branch, a stream now shrnnken to very modest proportions, but which, judging from the eize ami nnmbrr of tho "boulders it had desposited in the road-war, could turn all the water-wheels of the country at some seasons. Scrambling over theso for a tnilo or two, and fording some Eools that threatened to lloat the wagoned, the road linally abandoned tho stream and led over gradually increasing hills until, reaching one that tuight pass for a small mountain, it climbed It wearily and slid down into a littlo clearing where Clifty Church stood revealed. The building, one story in height and buiit Jogs, looked liko a double stable or tobacco barn, except that the interstices between the logs were plastered with 'Maubin Jind chinkiu." and the windows and doors iad hceu modeled with some reference to church architecture. Around it were a collection of vehicles including nrtn uairimu iarrvillu nml urtA r'ety of equinea that reached from, colts to their progenitors of both sexes.

Diuner- baskcts and buckets protruded from most of the vehicles, for it had been announced that the "debate" would go on daily from 10 in the morning until -1 in tho afternoon oftach day, with proper intermissions for lunch, and that it would be continued "tell everybody was satistied." Outsido tho doors those who had been unablo to find seats craned their necks to look over the shoulders of those in front of them, and inside, the room was packed with men. women, and children, the latter being heard frequently where they were not seen. Tho church had originally been built by Borne of the early Methodists of tho connty, and the mournera' bench still stood in front of the plain pulpit, with a wooden pail of Tvater and tmeups resting on it for the benelit of the thirsty. The latter utensil seemed to be a constant suggestion to the juvenile portion of the audience, who came torward constantly for drinks, and who generally managed to let tho tiucup fall on tho iloor before returning. The men sat on one side of the church and the; women on the other, the older and deafer ones in front, and tho others shaded oti', until the rear rows contained 3-oung men and maidens, whoso attention was divided between each other and tho speaker.

The side seats, known as the "amen corners," were divided equally between the contestants, the Mormons occupying the corner on the left of the pulpit, and the other side tilling tho one on the right. Most of the prominent families of Jackson and Center townships were represented in tho audience, and a notable feature was the largo proportion of aged men present, many of whom leaned on their crntches as they bent forward, trying to catch something of the proceedings. A stenographer, who resembled the pictures of Kip Van Winkle, and who in-terrnpted the proceedings twice by having lit a at most inopportune periods, took np what room was left iu front of the pulpit, and on the rostrum, in a state of anxiety and cane-seated chairs, the orators waited the completion of tho details, Theso were fioon finished, and H. May, of Mitchell, was chosen as moderator by the Disciples, and C. S.

Langhlin, of Owensburg. acted for tho Mormon orator. Tho propositions to be debated, were, first. Tbe Christian Church is apostolic in its teachings and tecond. "The Mormon Church is apostolic in its teachings and practice." King James's version of tho Bible was agreed upon as authority, and it was understood that the Mormons were not expected to advocate polygamy in the debate, owing to poftsible risks to which they might subject themselves by so doing.

Half hour Bpeechea were agreed upon, the party sustaining the atlirmativo to open, and his opponent to follow, this alternation to continue until both were satislied or the audience was unwilling to liaten longer. There was a marked difference between the twodebators when presented by the moderators. Krutsmycr is a stocky, florid little man about forty-five yearn ot age, who, as Dr. IJagby once said of John Hanip-den Chamberlayne, "might have been a great man if his ccat-tail had not been eo near the brick." He has a strong voice, a clear articulation and considerable fluency. He is both aggressive and pugnacious, and in his edorjs to get bold of his adversary ucrked like a diminutive but plucky ter rier endeavoring to get the neck gnpon a warj and determined rat.

Although given tho first proposition 4o affirm he occupies but little of hi timo in defending his own organization, and spends most of it in making dashes at the other contestant. Not uufreqnently ho turns from the audience and addresses his opponent direct in .1 como-on-Macdofl manner that tickles the pronounced gentiles immensely, and causes great annoyance to the elders and embryo Latter-day or tho side benches. Elder Hvde, tho Mormon spokesman, is a very different kind of debater. He is tall and slender, not over thirty years old, with a weak voice and a very limited, vocabulary, but he has tho face of a zealot and tho air of a man carried away by his convictions, and when he gets his voic keyed up to concert pitch, and chants his loug sentences, with his bony forefinger extended out over the audience, ho holds its attention fully as well as tho orthodox champion. It would bo difficult to more than synopsize the argument.

Each contestant has made eight Hpecches, the moderators sitting behind the orators, watch in hand, and calling the limit with the promptness of professional time-keepers. In these sixteen speeches a good deal has been aiiirmed and a good deal denied, with a multitude of Scriptural texts to back up both atlirmativo and denial, and yet neither speaker, according to his own account, has moro than outlined the salient points of hU case. Sometimes these statements bring to mind the remark of Enhraim Hall, who waspnt up bv Henry A. Wise to speak asrainst time in the Virginia Legislature. Hall spoke live hours and a half without a break long to permit an Interruption, and then pausing slightly he said that having given tho House an apportunity of seeing the number of propositions he was interested in he would immediately proceed to discuss each one of them separately.

Tho argument, as affecting the apostolic character of tho Christian Church, has been that of transmission by the laying on of hands, with which most believers are familiar. On the other hand, tho continuity of this succession has been denied by Elder Hyde throughout the debate, and its absolute failure afErmed, the calamity being repaired, according to Mormon theory, by tho appearance of tho Angel Moroni with the plates which Joe Smith sat behind a blanket and translated foryoung Cowdery, who wrote them out as tho Mormon Uible. These positions have been backed up by references to John, Daniel aud a mnltitudo of Scriptural writers, but they have bv no means monopolized tho discussion. The doctrine of the Trinity has been incidentally considered; immersion versns sprinkling has cut some ligure; devils' miracles have been discussed, and to-night the assembly, with tho exception of those who tamo with well-defined beliefs on the subject, is in the condition of obscurity hinted at by the poot, who remarked that "when tho ram raineth and the goose winkcth, little wotteth tho gosling what the goose thinketh." The only reference thus far made in the discussion to the Mormon system of polygamy occurred when it was charged upon the Mormon elders that the Edmunds faw had been deliberately violated by Mormons in tho Territories, and tho only answer made waa that to obey it there meant the abandonment ot womeu aud children by those who are regarded an their husbands and fathers. After tho speaking to-day Elder llydo stated to the writer that he declined to discuss polygamy publicly, not because he did not beUcvo in it, but becauso he had no wish to bring on a collision with existing lawn.

As to the making of proselytes and Rending them to Utah, he added that tho emigration fund of tho Mormon Church hud been taken from it under the Edmunds law, and that no direct assistance was being furnished to auy convert to reach Salt Lako City. Where conversions were made the convert regulated his own residence. His own work as an elder would probably bo carried on where he and bis associate elder were now stationed, until tho end of his two years' service as a missionary. D. L.

n. F0KT0NES IN SMALL JARS. Why Some Drugs Command Ilfh Prices The Means That Brought Cocaine Into Use. A number of gentlemen were admiring the display of beautiful and costly chemicals made in the office of tho New Deuison Hotel during the session cf the National Wholesale Druggists' Association. "Why does that cost so much!" inquired one of the gazers of chemist Hurty, who stood near, pointing as he spoke to a six-pound Jar, which bore the label, "Hom-Atropino Hydrobomate.cry8t.,, valued at 812,600 for the quantity displayed, or $2,100 per pound.

"I havo paid for a few grains of that," said tho chemist, "at the rate of CO cents a grain, or 4,200 a pound. Why does it cost so much? In the first place, the basis of the cost is in tho labor and skill required to produce it. Beginning with the plant from which this is obtained, belladonna leaves, the labor of extracting and presenting this form of tho tctive principle, atropine, is almost interminable. Perhaps from the beginning of the process until the Eroduct is in hand, one year's time as elapsed. It has gone through a series of processes that, even to attempt to follow in the mtnd, would drive one to distraction.

After the product has been obtained it must be taken into account that there is but a very limited demand for it. That chemical is used in eye practice for dilating the pupil, and in that one bottle there is enough for all tho earth and for the inhabitants of any of the otherplanetsrvhose eyes require treatment. It is the limited use of many of the chemicals here displayed, quite ns much as the difficulty of production, that pnts them upon price currents at such high figures. When the demand gets to bo great the price rapidly declines. "Take, for instance, cocaine(prouounced ko-ka-een) which a few years ago sold at nearly $500 an ounce and now sells at au ounce.

To pharmacists belong most of the credit of having brought it into use. It was the pharmacists who made it and who employed men in tho hospitals to make clinical observations upon it. The result of these investigations were distributed among pharmacists and druggists all over tbo land, and these in turn did more than all other agencies combined to bring physi-. cians to notice and employ the now remedy. In fact these dealers fairly put chains upon the necks of the physicians and dragged them up to the remedy." LOT! ERY INVESTMENTS.

What Indianapolis People Contribute to Test Their Luck in Monthly Drawing. "They don't seem to get any nearer to mo than two hundred miles," said a lottery investor at the New Denison, yesterday. "Have you noticed that in nearly every lottery drawing that has taken place in this country, since the war, somebody in a certain town iu this State has drawn something! Fact, I assure you. It is tho luckiest place in tho world. If a man could make up his mind to live there, all he would have to do would be to invest a dollar a mouth and take care of his winnings." Vhat kind of a winning point is Indianapolis for a lottery ticket purchaser!" It is not worth a cent.

I never heard of anybody winniug any considerable amount here, and yet I am satisfied that from $3,000 to is invested every month by this city in the purchase of lottery tickets. I know one agent monthly sales of tickets average over 62.000, and there aro hundreds of people who order their tickets direct. A good many ladies invest their pin-money in this way, and it is not an unusual thing for children to try their luck. Of course, winnings when made aro not always known, but the information generally leaks out. Tickets are split up, sj that the largest prizes, when won.

are usually divided in several localities, and in this way tho widest possible advertising is se-CueL, Aro not lottery tickets frequently counterfeited and bogus tickets frequently sold!" "Occasionally; yes. Usually, though, it is the smaller concerns and more ignorant purchasers that are utilized by counterfeiters. The best managed lotteries generally have agents in every community, who aro known, and customers either go to them for supplies, or order their tickets direct from headquarters. It is tho 'policy shops' aud email concerns in the lottery wav whose swindles are supplemented by.forgeU and counterfeit tickets." SAVING "NEGLECTED CIIIbDREX. Cases That Come Under the Notice and Prompt Atte ntion of the Board cf Guardians.

Tho Circuit Court room was crowded nearly all day yesterday by witnesses and spectators, drawn there by tho calling of cases presented to the court by the lioard of Children's Guardians. The good work being done by this organization has been the occasion of considerable commendation from tho public, it being an undisputed fact that many of tho street gamins and uncared-for children, whose only homo is the street, havo been protected from temptation and 'immorality. Tho process by which this is being accomplished is a simple one. The board, througb its investigating committees, ascertains tho names of children who, in their opinion, need protection, and an opportunity is given in court to havo this opinion set aside by evidence. Often no defense is made, and the court passes judgment solely upon the testimony given on behalf of the board.

Seven cases were called yesterday, no one o'f which was any more repulsive than the average. Two of theso will serve as good examples of the manner in which the facta are brought to the. knowledge of the court. The first was one implicating Patrick and Houora Kelly and their three children, Mary, Patrick and John, aged thirteen, eleven and nine years, respectively. Their history, as gleaned from the testimonyt was one which disclosed frequent family disputes and a home ruined by drink.

The father, when on tho stand, related a story that was ad in tho extreme. His wife, he said, is addicted to drink, and makes him moro miserable by an uncontrollablo temper. "I always anted to see my children live well," ho continued, "and I have given them money. I hivo always been a hard-working man, aad while I never had much money. I have always been willing to support my f.imily.

My wife and I couldn't agree, and 1 left her after wo had had a quarrel. She wasdruukat the time, and I had taken a little something, too, but then I knew trou-blo would come again, and so I went away. You ask me if my children aro vicious? I don't know, for I haven't watched them very closely. I hope, though, they are not so bad as to require tho of this court." Mrs. Mary Colgan, a teacher in the public schools, said that she had seen the mother drunk repeatedly, aud at one time had attempted to lead her out of tho school building, where she had come to see about her children.

On going down stairs, Mrs.Kelly lost her hold on tho railing, and fell to the bottom. The two boys had attended her school, but dnring the present year had only been present one daj They are known to bo vicious, and the tools of larger companions, well versed in the wax a of the streots. A. Lister, agent of tho Humane Society, told a similar story concerning the family, ho having first become acquainted with them through Mary, the young girl who sells newspapers on the streets. Prank Wr right, of the township trustee's ofiice, said that the family's condition, owing to the mother's habitual drunkenness, was most miserable, and that the trustee had often assisted them to get a living.

Mrs. Kelly, when put on tho stand, wept bitterly and pleaded for her children. In her testimony she tried to establish tho fact that her daughter was over fifteen years of age, but she became badly mixed in her dates. Tho caso was taken under advisement. Tho story of Lizzie Pratt, the eleven-year-old daughter of Frank Pratt, was even more pitiable because of its closor intimacy with immorality.

According to tho testimony sho has been raised by her father alone, tho two livinc for a time ouwhat is known as "Irish Hill." A young girl was taken into Pratt's house, but it subsequently developed that she was the mother of an illegitimate child. Pratt, in asking assistance from tho township trustee, said he intended to marry the girl, but her condition was such that sue was taken to a hospital, where she died: Pratt and his danghter then took rooms in the rear of a building onthe corner of Sixth and Tennessee streets, where they lived for some timo. Failing to pay were compelled to move, and they rented two small attio rooms over a grocery two blocks Bouth, on Tennessee street, near Fourth. Here, was claimed, they occupied tho same room, in which was but one bed. Mr.

Wright, in his testimony, considered Pratt mentally unbound, and unfit to be intrusted with tho care of a young girl. HOW A I1ER0 DIED. The Young: Soldier Who, Lying at Death's Door Upon the Eattle-Field, Fulfilled His Vow. CoL "Henry Jordan retains clearly many recollections of his army experience, and no one is more entertaining in telling them. It is tho out-of-the-way incident that gives his stories a zest; the incident that would be forgotten and crowded out of the record by those of greater historical importance.

"Soon after Wilder's Brigade," said tho Colonel to a reporter, recently, ''had been armed with that implement of destruction, the Spencer repeating rifle, the rebel women whom we chanced to meet along the line of our expeditions told ns that John Morgan had determined to arm his forces with repeating rifles captured from Wilder Brigade. This taunt had its desired edect. It enraged our men, and consequently delighted our fair tormenters. But it had another eflect, unforseen by General Morgan and his female allies. It made our men solemnly resolve never, under any circumstances, to surrender a gun to tho rebel forces.

There was no fear that the brigade, while iu its organized condition, would surrender to John Morgan or any other rebel commander. Nor had we the slightest fear that any regiment of the brigade would lay down its arms to any force, however powerful it might be. Our rifles, borne by brave and resolute men, could open a wav for ns wherever we chose to go; forward through rebel line of battle, or backward through lines thrown into our rear to cut off retreat. Capture under such circumstances was not to be thought of, for it was impossible. But there was a danger against which provision had to be made.

Often after a line of march had been agreed upon and point of destiuation fixed, the organization of the brigade was temporarily broken up," and tho men sent in small squads to sweep the country for miles on both sides of the road. Often our line, moving towards our point of destination, would be ten miles long, sometimes even longer. Such a lino could not bo maintained unless the men were widely separated, and wide separation made easy communication and rapid concentration impossible. Capture of single men or small detachments was not only possible, but quite probable, and. it was against this danger that provision had to bo made.

How to save our guns in the event of capture, and thus defeat Morgan's design, was the problem that confronted otlicers and men alike. The latter: grouped around their camp-fires at night, discussed the matter with great earnestness, bnt their deliberations wer thout result. Finally it was suggested otte of the men that, as their guns would to bo given up in the event of capture, all that could be riouo would bo to destroy their effectiveness, in some way or other, before surrendering them. Investigation disclosed the fact that by removing a single screw the whole loading apparatus could bo removed in a single piece, and, this piece thrown away, there would remain nothing but the stock and barrel of the gun to be surrendered. In such a plinht the rirle would be reduced to the condition of a club, and no more This discovery made, tho men gave, each to the others, a solemn vow that, in the event of capture, tha ellectiveness of their rifles should be thus destroyed.

He held it against overwhelming numbers until the infantry, which he had left far in the rear, eamo to his support.

Harriet Ilosmer's Invention. New York Mail and Express. Some one was saying the other day that the reason that Harriet Hosmer, who is now in this country, ha9 produced nothing noteworthy in sculpture for a long time past is that she has given herself over for years to tho pursuit of something perilously like that ignus fatuus, perpetual motion. Sho devoted herself while in England, at the house of Lady Ashburton, to the invention of some mechanical contrivance which always was to be perfect in the course of the next week or Meeting Story, tho sculptor, one afternoon, sho told him that in a fortnight her machine would be ready for exhibition.

The time passed, bnt her mechanic had disappointed her. something was not quite as it should be. Most of her fortune, this informant surmised, was eaten up by the machine. When Miss Hosmer came to America her machine. was to follow by the next steamer.

It did not come, aud she took ship again and went back after it to England. What ha3 become of it since was a point not elucidated. Miss Hosmer has been staying much with Mrs. Carr, of Boston, who is a daughter of tho rich Mr. Crow, of St.
