the re
marks of Mr Ostrom is that his deductions area little too sv. tieping. From his statements the publi-.: is apt to infer that ho is passing' judgment upon the entiro city through the actions of a few street "bums" who have no elaims to the title of citizens. The subjoined is a partial report of the sermon that evening as reported by Rev. R. S. Inglis: "The evening service was also largely attended. After tho half hour
Bong
eervice,the meeting was opened by a solo from Mr. Maxwell. Some rude person on tho opposite side of the street mocking him caused the Evangelist to deliver himself very freely in regard to the moral condition of our city as ho had so far seen it. He began by speaking of tho towns in Wisconsin where be had latoly been working—beer and tobacco towns. They might certainly, ho said, have expected more discorteous treatment in those towns than in tho Athens of Indiana, but here was the first place where a drunken man had shouted at him on the street anil the tir.st placo whero anyone had shown such ill breeding as to mock Mr. Maxwell's praise. Ho said that our bum element was worse than that of lOdgerton and our saloon doors smeii worse than those of Milwaukee that the upper crust might be all right but that our lower crust was rotten. He then appealed for a botter citizenehip and for purer public morale." ..
Sad Fate of a Uhild.
A poculiaraccident. resulting in death, befell Master Paschal, tho eight year old son of Foster Fletcher, residing northwest of the city. The boy was either standing or sitting on top of a fence blowing a whistle, when he lost his balance and fell. In striking the ground, tho wliistle, which still remained in his mouth, was forced down his throat, producing a painful, but aot at tho time thought to be dangeroua injuries. But inflamation set in and the little follow died Monday evening. It is a very sad) bereavement to tho family, as Paschal was a bright child and a general favoritejin the neighborhood. Tho funeral occured Tuesday forenoon and the remains were placed in Oak Hill.
