A little fellow in the northern part of the city has sixty-two cattle to take to and from pasture. He receives twenty-five cents a week from each of his employers. Notwithstanding this, the half-rate ward politicians are makins all the capital they can out of the unsuspecting and ignorant owners of cows. They foster the idea that the ordinance means a total prohibition of the cow within the city limits, but when it is explained to the owners that they can take the animals to pasture with a keeper in charge they find no fault with the ordinance, reposition to it is to be kept up, however, and urged, iu order to help out the Democrats this fall. .MS.. Gen. Howard and the Hattie of Gettysburg. Just at this time, when the great battle of Gettysburg is in the public mind, it will be of unusual interest to hear Major-general O. O. Howard tell the story of that three-days’ fearful conflict As has been announced, the General will be in the city on Friday, the 9th, and deliver hi* lecture on the battle of Gettysburg. It has been deemed best to have the lecture at Tomlinson Hall, and to place the admission at twentyfive cents, with no reserved seats, so as to accommodate .everybody and insure the largest possible attendance. General Howard’s name end fame, and the subject of his address, should attract a large audience. mmmmmmmmmmtmmmmmmmrnmmmmmmmmym Furniture at King & Elder’s.

SERVICES AT THE CHURCHES Rev. Dr. Jeffery Preaches at the Union Meeting in Tomlinson Hall. Attendance Somewhat Diminished-Meetings to Cease Unless the People Attend Them —A Boy Evangelist at Fletcher-Place. About four hundred persons assembled in Tomlinson Hall last night. The choir was led by W. C. Smock, and the services opened with singing the gospel hymns “Over There” and “Are You Watching?” Seated upon the platform were Revs. Jeffery, Jenckes, Haices and Gantz, of this city, and Rev. Carr, of Franklin. Mr. Haines led in prayer. Dr. Jeffery prefaced bis sermon with remarking that a number of the ministers of this city would be perfectly willing to forego their vacations and assist in the services at the hall if the audionces would come. That these meeting are kept up from Sunday to Sunday, however, would depend upon the encouragement they received. He took as his text Romans seventh chapter, fifteenth verse: “For that which I do, I allow not; for what I would, that do I not; but what I hope, that do I.” He said that Paul here described a conflict which every human being is mere or less conscious. He says in substance that he approves of some things that he does not do, and some things of which he does not approve, those things he does. And this is an expression of feeling that is found iu all the human race. There is something that tells men what is right, that approves of what is right, that tells what is wrong and disapproves of it, yet man is constantly led to do things that are wrong, and that he knows are wrong. Every man is endowed with this moral sense which makes him aware of this conflict between right and wrong. The province of conscience is to tell a man to do what is right. There are some questions upon which one may have a wrong opinion without having a bad conscience. There are questions upon which persons may honestly differ and with good conscience, but when you come within the realm ofconscience, every man is prepared intuitively to say what is the right thing to do. Yet every man finds himself inclined to go in the way of doing the very things of which he disapproves. No education can so pervert conscience as to make the worse appear the better thing to us. The law of God is written upon every man’s conscience. The Bible is not required to tell you what is right and what is wrong, but simply to enable you to avoid the wrong and do the right Ovid, the Roman poet, who lived hundreds of years before Paul, substantially said the same thing when he said, “I find myself not doing the things of which I approve, and constantly doing the things of which I disapprove.” You are constantly saying, “That is wrong,” “that is mean,” “that is dishonorable.” The English language is full of words making moral distinctions in regard to human conduct We become very eloquent over the meannesses of other people. You can denounce the wrong in your neighbor, but when you look in the glass you are not ashamed of yourself. Let him who is without sin, the particular sin of which he accuses another, cast the first stone. The proverbs of all nations are based uoon the testimony of man’s homage to the right. We exalt and glorify the right as against the wrong. I blundered yesterday into a barber shop, where, in a glass before me, was an indelicate picture. I made up my mind never to visit that barber-shop again. If I had spoken about it, the man would probably have excused himself by saying that it attracted customers to bis shop —that ueople liked such things. I might have asked him ii he would be willing to have his child see that picture. That man could not have given an honest excuse for his conduct Art is in the line with righfand justice. Slavery could not be painted to appear right. You can not paint a drunkard in a way that will make drunkenness command respect Every man has bis ideal of what is right. Even infidelity has to take its crown and lay it at the feet of the spotless man Jesus of Nazareth. Ineersoll. at a dollar a head, may go around talking against the Bible. Suppose lie make you despise it as the revelation of God, he can not disprove its morals nor make it a reason why you should go home drunk to-night and beat your wife. Voltaire, Rousseau—all the infidels —Renan, are all fain to pay their tribute to the spotless character of Jesus Christ, in whom the world has found no sin. In the growth of mankind all trace the bringing of the race into a conformity with the roan of Nazareth. Yet men are so perverse that though they know the right they do the wrong. Some men feed upon the faults of their Christian brethren as upon carrion. They say ha, ha, when a good man has fallen. Is that the way to do—to rejoice over the fall of your fellow-man? Perhaps there are persons here to-night who claim to be ladies and gentlemen, and yet ridicule Christianity. No gentleman, no lady, will ridicule the conscientious belief of any one. Men love darkness rather than light. Why? Becauso their deeds are ev : l, and they fear the light lest their deeds shall be proven. It is the disposition of vice and dishonesty to assume a reputable name. They steal the livery of heaven to serve the devil in. That beautiful word lady—go down to certain houses of vice in this city, and find it used there. If you would call them by the strong and honest Saxon word that fits them, you would have trouble. You tell a man that be is a scoundrel, a cheat, a liar, how he will fire up. He resents it, though he knows it is true, simply because he is an involuntary witness to the difference between his higher and lower nature. Dr. Jeffery closed with a fervent appeal to all to chance their ways and come to Jesus Christ, the great physician. You are not asked, said the speaker, to be perfect. Come with yoi\r imperfect natures to Christ; like the publican of old, say, “God bo merciful to me, a sinner,” and he will abundantly pardon you. Dr. Jenckes prayed, the song “Why Not Come to Him Now?” was sung, and Rev. Carr, ot Franklin, gave the benediction. The Revival at Fletcher-Place Church. Following the quarterly communion at Fletch-er-place Church yesterday, revival services were begun last evening, under the ministrations of J. Allen O'Hara, of Alabama. This evangelist is quite young, not more than twentyone or twenty-two years of age, but he has beeD preaching since his fifteenth year. His presence is without magnetism or that subtle influence which draws crowds to Moody, Jones and others of this class of Christian workers. There is a mannerism which one familiar with it will recognize as common to the old-style exhorter. He has no fnnd of anecdote, or at least he used none to enliven his appeals or lessons. Last evening he chose for bis topic “Christ, the Great Physician,” and used it more in the way of exhortation than in sermonizing. He showed the value of Christ's love as the first essential to the salvation of sinuers. This was the balm in Gilead that could heal sin-stricken hearts. He urged upon the young the great safety that lies in church, and begged them to give their hearts to God. Mr. O Hara is earnest, but he has not the power of Sam Jones, nor is he a master of oratory. He keeps his utterances on one key, which is of somewhat mournful sound. From this there is no variation. But to his sincere and forceful allusions to the grace God offered the world, many heartfelt amens came in response. The meetings will continue each evening until Thursday, and probably, after to-morrow, afternoon services will be held. Two young persons last night called for the prayers of the church, and many members promised tho young evangelist to assist him in his good wuffe Fourth of July Fxerd^e^ Special Fonrtb-of-July services were at the Second Presbyterian Church yeeStsdAy afternoon. The Light Infantry attended in a body, and there was generally a good attendance. Tho pulpit was decorated with flags, and tho

musical selections were made with a special view to the occasion. Mrs Levering aud others sang solos. Dr. McLeod preached an appropriate sermon from the scriptural text, “He hath not dealt so with any nation, and as for His judgments they have cot known them.” • ■■ -o™ BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A CHILI). Edward Emmelmann Arrested for a Nameless Offense Toward a Six-Year-Old Girl. Edward Emmelmann, a boy sixteen years old, living at No. 27 Smithson street, was arrested yesterday for a criminal assault on Ida Vollrath, aged seven years, tho daughter of Herman G. Voliratb, living at No. 130 Prospect street. The assault, which was a successful one, is alleged to have been made in an out-house on June 5. The father of the little girl says he desired ..>.at nothing should bo published in regard to the matter, and for that reason tried to get it before the grand jury. The latter body, however, adjourned before Mr. Vollrath presented his case. The child was not seriously injured. Young Emmelmann denies having been guilty of the crime charged against him, and even says he does not know the family. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Lieutenant-governor J. C. Smith and family, of Illinois, are at the Bates House. Miss Jennie Marine, of Lafayette, sustained the solo in the “Star spangled Banner” at Cen tral-avenue Church last night, the choir of young people taking the chorus. The grand anthem was effectively rendered. A party of serenaders, on Saturday night, narrowly eluded the vigilant police, whose tuneful ears were not able to distinguish the concord of sweet sounds from a riot on Irish Hill. The next time they go out they will apply for a permit. People can’t expect professors of music to serve on the police force at $1.50 a day. Hotel Arrivals. Denison: J. M. Lakin, L. D.

The home-rule demonstration to-day will be no small affair, as every preparation has been made to insure its success. General Carnahan will be marshal of the day, with the following aids: Maj. Charles L. Holstein, Capt. C. H. O’Brien, Capt Thomas Madden, Capt. John Moloney, Capt Tim Spiann, Capt John Henuessy, Maj. George W. Spahr, Maj. Samuel H. Sheerer, Ben C. Wright, Hon. S. P. Sheerin, Frank Ryan. The column will form on Tennessee street, right resting on Washington street The following will take part in the parade: Indianapolis Light Infantry, Emmet Guards, Richardson Zouaves, Rice Zouaves, Knights of St George, Ancient Order Hibernians; carriages containing members of Land Lei.*ie and citizens will form on Washingington street extending west from Tennessee". The line of march, the column to move at 10 o’clock, will be east on Washington to Dolaware, north on Delaware to Market, west on Market to the Circle, around the Circle to Meridian, north on Meridian to the Exposition grounds. At the grounds there will be a diversity of amusements, including exhibition drills by the Knights of Pythias. Light Infantry and Richardson Zouaves; horse.racing, balloon ascension, etc. Hon. Matt O’Doherty will deliver an oration. At Bp. m. there will be an exhibition of fire-works. Music by the When Band. Release of Work-House Prisoners. The police are complaining vigorously that persons who have been sentenced to the workhouse have been released before the expiration of their terras. Between two and three months ago, John McCue, a well known ruffian, was given a six months’ sentence in the work-house for an assault on one of the guards in that institution, he being one of ths gang who tried to escape from the place S9veral months ago. With his term not more than half expired, the police were surprised to find him on the streets on Saturday night, knocking men down wherever an opportunity offered. It is a matter of wonder in police circles by what authority he is turned loose now. He was a very bad man to handle, and the work-house authorities are said to have kept a ball aud chain on him, being in constant fear of him. Releasing him is almost equivalent to loosing a madman on the streets. He was arrested on Saturday night for knocking down two men because they refused to treat. H is now in the station-house, and says he does not know why he was released before the expiration of his term. Amusements. Manager Talbott has booked the great spectacular production of Sardou’s new drama, “Theodora.” for Enelish’s Opera house for next Thanksgiving week. Ail tho scenery, accessories and company will be brought here from Europe. Business was satisfactory at the Museum last week, and the show billed to apper to-morrow night will probably repeat the success of the week just closed. The programme is made up of specialty people and an after piece. The Four Comets, the noted Rhinehart children, the De Bar brothers, the Whitings, Louis St. Clare aud the Delanes are among those who will appear. The people will not be able to reach here for a matinee performance to-morrow. A Leg Cut Oft’ by a Train. Last night, about 9 o’clock, Edgar Palmer, seventeen years old, was run over by a J., 3J. & I. train at the Belt crossing, and suffered the loss of his left leg, which was cut off at the knee. Young Palmer, it appears, is subject to epileptic fits, and is supposed to have fallen upon the track in a spasm just as the train, £n engine and three freight cars, was approaching. His father works at the Panhandle shops. The boy was taken by Flanuer & Hommown’s ambulance to St Vincent’s Hospital, where his injuries were attended to. His recovery is doubtful. The Newsboys* Celebration. Fourtb-of July exercises will be held at the Newsboys’ Home this evening, at 7:30. <Crocd music, and speeches by Mayor Denny, Col. Eli Ritter, John G. Blake, and others. In connection with the exercises, farther explanations of the new ordinance will be given, and all newsboys and boot-blacks should be present

THE BIG FODR AND THE VIADUCT. A Feeling that the Road Will Do Little or Nothing To Aid It. An actor once approached a playwright and fellow-actor with the request that he would adjust to his particular ability a character like Sampson Brass or Robert Macaire. He would prefer one that had the salient peculiarities of both. “And now,” continued the applicant, “what will you charge to write a play having such a part for the star rolet” “The first essential, my friend, is money?” “Yes; but how much?” “As I have an interest in you,” replied 'the playwright, “I will only ask for S3OO before I begin. When the first act is completed I will want in cash three times that ranch and one hundred dollars extra. When I have done the second act you must pay me a like amount, and when the third and last is finished we will call it quits if you pay me S7OO. I will not do the work for a cent less.” “My friend,” dolefully responded the comedian, “that play will never be written.” In something like this condition the city finds itself, whenever it is ask to bnild unassisted the Virginia-aveaue viaduct. “The city to pay for such a work,” said an official yesterday, “has not the money. We want to build it, but, unless the railroads help us, the work cannot be done now or for years to come. A great deal of trouble was had in securing money to pay for Tomlinson Hall. It is possible the Union Depot people will solve the problem through their fiftyfoot viaduct. I don’t know, but as our finances are now we can do nothing more than wait.” “At the meeting on Friday evening the Big Four people were represented for the first time since the question has been discussed at intervals by Council committees.” “Yes. Heretofore that cbmpany has held aloof. Its officers would listen to nothine, and I was surprised to sea Superintendent Sherwood and Engineer Morris there. They talked fair, too, but I believe the company will nover agree to any plan that will place it at an expense in removing or changing its tracks. And, moreover, if it is decided to build the viaduct, there is no law by which the road can be compelled to aid in the matter. That company has an absolute right through the city, secured forty or more years ago. The city has had several struggles with it on other questions, and has come out of them worsted. If the viaduct depends on that road, I fear it will never be built.” “But Mr. Sherwood’s suggestions were in place. The city has never, 1 believe, proposed any tangible plan in regard to the question. In the committee there has been nothing but general talk and an interchange of ill defined ideas.” “True, but I do not think the best and the most practicable plan would bo approved by that company. It has a bold upon the city and kuows its power. lam in favor of waiting until the Union Depot people complete their work.” THE CITY IN BRIEF. The West Side Gun Club will hold a shoot at a target at Bruce Park this afternoon. A horse and bugsy belonging to Adam Helfrieh was stolen from the front of his residence, No. 3GI West Washington street, yesterday afternoon. Charles Heyer, who keeps a saloon on New Jersey street just south of Washington street, was arrested yesterday for selling or giving away liquor on Sunday. Mrs. Martin Powers, wife of the merchant policeman, died suddenly of heart disease yesterday moraine, at 10 o’clock, at the family residence, No. 227 South Pennsylvania street, aged sixty-three. The funeral will take place Monday from St. John’s Cathedral. William Watson Woolen’s Return. On Saturday afternoon the report had been well spread over the city that William Watson Woolen, ex county attorney, was mysteriously missing, and had been absent from his place of business and usual haunts for two days. There was a fear expressed by his mother and brothers (his wife not being in the city, having gone East to attend the graduation of the eldest son, Evans Woolen) that he had committed suicide, as he was in ill-health, suffering from insomnia, and had met with financial reverses that had taken away all his possessions, including his homestead. Someone had seen him near the river, and there was a dread surmise among his relatives and friends that he had committed suicide by drowoing. However, at 11 o’clock on Satnrday night Mr. Woolen appeared at the residence of his brother, Dr. G. V. Woolen, apparently in his usual condition, mentally and physically, and entirely unconscious of the stories that had been going around concerning his mysterious disappearance. He said ho had gone to Chattanooga on business on Thursday last, and had not considered it necessary to leftve word with anyone, inasmuch as his family was out of town. His relatives and friends were, of course, greatly rejoiced at his return, and he was sent at once to his mother’s residence to relieve her anxiety. Parade and Picnic of the Red Men. A parade of local and visiting tribes of Red Men will take place this morning, forming at 10 o’clock in front of the hall on Washington street, and will move north on Illinois to Market, east on Market to Circle, on north side of Circle to Meridian street, north on Meridian to Vermont, east on Vermont to Pennsylvania, south on Pennsylvania to Ohio, east on Ohio to Delaware, south on Delaware to Washington, west on Washington to Meridian, south on Meridian to Union Depot. The picnic of the tribes will take place at the Shooting Park. Judge J. C. Suit, of Frankfort, will be the orator of the day, and Robert E. Smith will be cnief marshal of the parade. Which Side Will the Sentinel Take? Much speculation is indulged in as to which side, if either, of the Bynum-Bailoy fight the Sentinel will take under the new management A Bynum roan says that Austin H. Brown, the new city editor of the Sentinel, said to him a few days ago: “Well, after next Wednesday I will be with you fellows.” This he understood to mean that the Sentinel would espouse Mr. Bynum’s cause. Some Democrats predict that it will remain neutral, while others say it cannot afford to do so. The issue of next Wednesday morning is looked for with anxiety by not a few. Tables Needed in the City Hall. In furnishing Tomliuson Hall it did not occur to the building committee that a table or two would be a necessary article of furniture. Seven-ty-five cents expended in this way would repair a deficiency that is proving exceedingly annoying to reporters. Shot Ilimself in the Leg. At the Knights of Labor picnic at Broad Ripple, yesterday, a young man named Null, while engaged iu shooting at a target, shot himself in the calf of the left leg. The revolver was of 32* caltbre, and the ball went clear through the leg. Fallen Into Innocuous Desuetude. There was a large amount of gunpowder in the air yesterday, the ordinance against explosives being flagrantly violated. The explosions of small fire crackers were almost continnous in the central portions of the city, with frequent accentuations by the explosion of cannon-crackers which made a deafening noise. Gangs of young men and boys roamed about discharging revolvers under the very noses of the police and with entire immunity from arrest, or even official ad-

monition from the dormant guardians of th® peace. Ample proof was given yestrday that the fire-cracker ordinance has fallen into innocuous desuetude of the most abject type. A Small Fire. Two firo alarms were sounded yesterday, only one of the fires causing any damage. This was about 11 o’clock, at the residence of A. S. Burt, No. 48 English avenue, where a coal oil explosion caused a loss of $25. Memorial of Sirs. Tarlton. At the session of the Sunday-school of the First Baptist Church, yesterday afternoon, a touching memorial was adopted on Mrs. Augusta Tarlton, who was long a teacher in the school, and who died June 7. Dan Knefler to Postraastor-fjeneral Vilas. Hem. W. F. Vilas, Postmaster-general, Washington, In the Washington correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal of July 3, 1886, in commenting on the action of the Brotherhood of Railway Postal Clerks, you are credited with saying in an interview, that “efficient clerks who attend strictly to their duties need have no fear of boj ing disturbed in their positions.” 1 wish to ask you several questions, and would feel thankful to you for a truthful answer. If, as yon say, efficient clerks, etc., will not be disturbed, why was my retirement decided upon? Was I inefficient? I think that a record of over 97 per cent, in case examinations and my car record for nearly seven years would entitle me to cone within your circular letter of March 31, 1885. Now, after seven years’ service, given in :he prime of life, I am removed, and wish to ascertain upon what grounds my removal was made. I am informed by General Superintendent Jameson that you thought my retirement would be of benefit to the service. If you were sincere in your circular of March 31, why are you not willing to give me a good and sufficient reason? I was not a member of the aforesaid brotherhood, so you cannot bring the conspiracy charge against me. I only want to know what benefit it could be to an already demoralized service to remove me. Dan W. Knefler, Late Postal Clerk Pittsburg & St. Louis. General Thomas’s Eldest Sister. Washington Republican. A letter just received from the youngest sisterof the late Maj.-Gen. George H. Thomas, by her cousin, Miss Mattie Tyler, the granddaughter of President Tyler, conveys the sad intelligence that the General’s oldest sister, Judith, who partly reared him after their mother’s death, and impressed upon him, to no slight extent, bis great qualities of bend and heart, is now lying, at the old homestead in Virginia, at the point of death. Ilad Hair on Its Chin. Chicago Tribune. A child born recently at Williamsburg, Pa., had a beard an inch long. Notwithstanding this remarkable development, the child with whiskers lived but three hours—barely long enough for the wind to blow through them. Nature frequently accomplishes these things with no apparent object Recourses in Emergencies. A current paragraph remarks that “to a deacod, caught by his minister coming out of a soloon, there is nothing so consoling as a sign, ‘Hot beef tea’on the saloon window.” Such a dependence in such a predicament would be precarious indeed, and is akin to the overworked expedients employed by the benedict who seeks to absent himself of evenings from an exacting spouse by pleading an imaginary business engagement, or lodge meeting, or something of tho sort The recourse should adequate to the emergency, and both be of a character to stand the strictest investigation; for example, the disabled victim of an accident who is provided with a ticket or a policy in the Travelers’ Insurance Company. In another column will be found an advertisement for an experienced lady to take charge of a small family in Evansville, Ind. Without divulging name of applicant, we can sav this is an excellent opportunity for a lady of refinement and experience to obtain a lasting and most comfortable home *in a family of large means and highest standing.
