text being illustrated by bis personal experience while a sinner and a man of the world. The eveuing sermon was delivered by Dr. C. H. Payne, of the Ohio Wesleyan University. The rumor is abroad at the camp that Sam Jones will be there on next Sunday, arrangements having been made to that effect, but that the management is keeping quiet, intending to spring it in two or three days as a surprise. Correction of an Acton Announcement. The Acton programme for last Saturday—soldiers’ day—announced Senator Harrison, Governor Foraker and Major C. L. Holstein as speakers. Not one of these gentlemen was present Major Holstein says his name was used, cot only without bis consent, but positively over his objection. He 6ays that Colonel Cumback invited him some weeks since, but that he decline*! on account of other engagements, and the Colonel told him his name should not appear on the programme. “Indeed, it was arranged with the Colonel,” Major Holstein says, “that in lieu of my speaking Saturday I was at some time in the future to repeat an address I delivered at Hanover in June. I never failed to fill an appointment, and was snrprised to find my name used after what had occurred. I know nothing about the other gentlemen whose names appeared on the programme, as to whether they expected to be there or not.” BETHANY’S FIRST SUNDAY. A Large Attendance of Visitors and Interesting Services—General Cary’s Lecture. The first Sundavat Bethany resulted in bringing joy to the hearts of the managers of the assembly. The attendance was about twentyfive hundred, and although the park was comfortably filled with visitors, there was no confusion, and during the entire day nothing transpired that could be criticised by the most orthodox Christian. The promoters of these annual series of meetings conceived the idea of placing them on a higher plane than the average hum dram camp-meeting, and the results have so far happily exceeded their most sanguine expectations. The understanding is abroad that Bethany was designed as a Christian institution, for the observance of religious forms and services, and ther consequence is, there is not much attraction here for the rabble. There was ample testimony to this happy condition of affairs at the several services at the tabernacle to-day. The large audiences were made up of ladies and gentlemen of culture, who were evidently there for the purpose of entering fully into the spirit of the services. The strictest decorum prevailed, and the attention was so close and the interest so manifest that the managers publicly proclaimed their appreciation. At 9 o’clock the tabernacle was occupied by the Sunday-school, Professor Atwater acting in the capacity of superintendent Elder John S. Sweeney, of Paris, Ky., was to have preached at the morning services, bat he was not present or accounted for at the advertised hour. In his absence B. J. Radford, of Cincinnati, was called upon to supply the vacancy, and for more than an hour he charmed his audieuce with an eloquent and pathetic dissertation on the subject of Christian love. This service was opened with appropriate remarks by D. R Yan Buskirk, master of ceremonies. and prayer by Mr. L. H. Jamison. On being introduced Mr. Radford explained that he would not preach from any particular text, “for,” said he, “any preacher ought to take any chapter of the New Testament and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Lovo is often the animation of great deeds. If there is a sweeter thing than loving, it is the consciousness of being loved. Napoleon’s ambition was to cause himself to be feared by all men* Caesar made the sword the measnre of his ambition; Christ did not love the sword, nor did He court the praise or admiration of uten. In every action He was influenced by the unselfish love begotten by the Heavenly Father and exerted for the salvation of the race. I don’t believe much in “divine discontent,” said the speaker. Divine discontent is like dynamite. It may be used successfully in blowing np HellGate, but you can’t run a ship with it. The real forces of the universe are reduced to two—push and pull. Push is the impulse and power, but after all the love of God is the ruling influence of the world.” The most interesting feature of the day’s programme was the lecture on “The Wines of the Bible," by Gen. S. F. Cary. His remarks were made in the inimitable style for which he has so long been noted, and elicited frequent laughter and applause. He vigorously combatted the flimsy theory that any kind of wine drinking had the approval of Holy Writ, and declared that the Bible, from the first verse of Genesis to the last verse of Revelation, tanght total abstinence. General Cary entered into a learned discussion of the Bible references to the drinking of alcoholic liquors, from which he adduced the conclusion that no where in the inspired book, was there a reference that conld be construed into an approval of winedrinking, Dr. Crosby to the contrary notwithstanding. “Germans,” he said, “are given to drinking beer, the Irishman to whisky, while the Americans drink- anything and get drunk on everything. Patriotism forbids that America shall become a nation of drunkards, for a nation of drunkards cannot be a nation of * freemen. Temperance does not come from the ebullitions of fanaticism, but from the springs of eternal trnth. When the Creator looked abroad at the beginning and pronounced all His work very good, there was not a drop of alcohol in the universe. Whisky is the result of the rottenness and decay of the good things God created, and you cannot violate the law of your being without paying the penalty that inevitably comes of wrong doing.” The lecture throughout was argumentative and eloquent, seasoned with just enough wholesome wit to make it palatable. Preceding General Cary’s lecture the sacred communion rites were observed, followed by a brief song service, led by Professor Alexander Hopkins, Mr. L. H. Jamison and the Etnraerson Quartet. The day’s services closed with an interesting sermon by J. H. O. Smith, State evangelist, of Edinburg. To-day has been designated “temperance day.” At 8:30 a.m., Prof. Radford, of Cincinnati, will lecture, and the regular programme will follow in the order given below: 10:30 a. m., address by General Samuel F. Cary, of Cincimati; 2:30 p. m., addresses by Mrs. Z. G. Wallace, of Indianapolis, Aaron Walker, of Kokomo, and short speeches by others: 7:30 P. M., song service; 8 p. M., grand sacred concert by the Roberts Park Sunday-school orchestra, Louis F. Vogt, leader. The concert to-night is looked forward to with pleasant anticipations, and a large attendance is expected. On Tuesday, Professor Radford will deliver another of his interesting normal leet ures, and the rest of the day will be devoted to varions subjects in which the State Missionary Society is particularly interested.

THE TOMLINSON HALL SERVICE. An Interesting Meeting, with Sermon by Rev. A, W. Lamport, of Central-Avenue Church. Os course the appearance of Sam Small last aight, who was secured from the Acton eatnpmeeting at the eleventh hour, had something to do with crippling the effort making by a number of the regular resident pastors of the city, to hold union gospel services at Tomlinson Hall; bat notwithstanding this, there were at least seven hundred people present, and the services throughout were interesting and profitable, having no feature of show, bat being simple, earnest and substantial work, as all these meetings have been under the direction of the city’s recognized pastorate. The music was especially good, the young people’s choir of Central avenue,und >r the direction of Mr. It. B. Rudy, furnishing an opening anthem and leading in the singing of the hymns. Mrs. Jessie Wnitridge DeWulf filled the ball with her full, pure voice in the solo, “The Crucifix,” by Faure, while the quartette, “O, B* Joyful,” was finely rendered by Mr. and Mrs. DeWolf. Miss Jennie Hesse and Mr. W. C. Smock. Mrs. Wilcox, the organist of Centralavenue Church, presided at the piano. Something should be said of the conduct of a number of young hoodlums who congregated in the rear of the ball, and in the corridors and

back gallery. They did all they were able, with their feeble intellects, to disturb the meeting, and it is a disgrace to the city authorities that they will rent the hall for religions purposes, charging more for it than they do for secular entertainments, and then abandoning it, 'without any protection, to young bummers. If it had been a political convention or a gathering of the Liquor League there would have been police detailed to preserve order, but these be ing religious meetings, the authorities care nothing. If the committee in charge of the meetings cannot secure proper policing of the hall, they should decline to pay the rent agreed upon. When the city accepts a rental there is an implied contract that the tenant shall be able to properly conduct whatever business or service he engages the hall for. The services were opened with an anthem by the choir and the singing of the grand old hymn, “Coronation,” by the andience. Rev. John Baltzly offered prayer and read the ninetieth psalm as the scripture lesson. The hymn, “Marching to Zion,” was then sang, and after the quartet, Rev. A. W. Lamport, pastor of the Central-avenue M. E. Church, preached the sermon. Mr. Lamport took as his text the fifth chapter of Timothy, twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth verses: Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. Likewise, also, the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid. All sin is of human consequence. It is not God who is in the tangle, but men; and ail sin, whether in this life or in the lives to come, as developed here, involves us. Men are sinners. The Bible so teaches, and observation everywhere mast so conclude. We all, like sheep, have gone astray. In the aggregate sin is a joint property. No man can stand aloof and declare himself innocent. We are all involved in this great sum of wrong. This joint property is not held, neither will it be distributed, in the mere proportion of numbers. Our Lord Jesus Christ has pronounced that in the judgment we shall be charged according to the work we have done. These facts make it necessary that the judgment should be delayed until all causes have run to their results and every moral influence is finished. Judgment waits the finished result and complete influence of our deeds. 1 believe the judgment of God delays in deference to the laws of heredity and to man’s responsibility under that law. This is a delicate position, and I do not pretend to speak further than the Scripture warrants. But God has told us plainly that he is a jealous God, “visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me, and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me and keep My commandments.” I understand this not to be iu any vindictive sense, but under this law of heredity which prevails in our moral nature, as well as that of heredity in our physical nature. All living organisms prodace like themselves, with slight variations. And there are forms of body, thought and impulse. So many as relate to mind or spirit are not discernible by us, and yet we must admit them, and it thus comes that those parent forms are responsible. It is possible for men to so violate the laws God has fixed for their natures as to work harm for themselves and transmit that harm to posterity. Yon have only to look abroad in society to see how true that is. Insanity is transmitted from parent to children. Predisposition to intemperance is communicated in the samo way, and inordination, coarseness, and brutishness and bestiality. A man with & wholly sound physical nature may so transgress as to transmit to posterity after him conditions of disease and weakness. A man with sound mind may so pervert the laws that God has fixed' as thereby to transmit conditions of weakness to posterity after him. We have not far to go in society to see how coarse and brutish parents have furnished the conditions of inordination to generations after them. So we can se how parent forms are made responsible—how it comes to pass that the results of an act may continue long after the act is finisksd. Certain it is that the judgment of God delays in deference to man’s work as an agent. We are told no man liveth onto himself. A man’s influence follows his deeds, and if he has done a wrone act it is not possible to overtake it and the misdeeds that follow it, and his responsibility is for things far beyond his intent.

When the devil wants to sap the foundations of righteousness in the land, be stirs up an elo quent blasphemer and sends him forth. He puts him from Chicago to Cincinnati, from Cincinnati to Cleveland, from Cleveland to Buffalo on fast trains, and at every blast of the whistle, every sound of tttb bell, he repeats his command, “Make haste, Robert!” but in spite of fast trains and rapid agencies it will not be possible for him to seo all the churches and the cities, but where he himself cannot go, his printed speeches are going and doing daily work, and the judgment of God waits In deference to his finished work. There is a brighter side to this law. It is said that likewise the good deeds are manifest beforehand. There are deeds in a man’s life that stand out like pyramids on the desert, and that can be measured. There are others not important in themselves, but important in view of what is around them and above them. The speaker, illustrating the heredity of good, quoted the fifth verse of Paul’s second epistle to Timothy: “When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded in thee also.” The nearest fixed star is Capella, over five hundred and eleven trillions of miles away, so far that it takes seven ty-two years for its light to reach us. Scienoe assumes that if that star were blotted out this moment it would still continue to shine on this world for seventy-two years to come. So man being dead yet speaketh and their works live after them. In Jesus Christ, God provides a method for propitiation and justification from sin. So that being justified by faith we have peace with our Lord Jesus Christ Lay hold on Him and the provision He brings that you may meet God in the judgment without fear. The services closed with prayer by Dr. Jencks, and after the doxology, the benediction by Mr. Lamport m ' MR. SMALL’S EVENING SERMON. Roberts Park Church Crowded to Its Fall Capacity to Hear the Evangelist. The auditorium of Roberts Park Church last evening was crowded, to hear Rev. Sam Smail. Mr. Small expressed pleasure in having an opportunity to again stand face to face with so many of his Indianapolis friends. Although Mr. Jones and himself had been in so many different sections of the country, scarcely a day bad passed, he said, but that they had thought of the people of this city, and had asked God’s blessing to rest upon them. Although expressing himself as feeling somewhat exhausted from the labors of the day, having preached twice at Acton, Mr. Small delivered a most interesting sermon. The speaker selected these words as his text: “Pilate saitn unto them, ‘Shall I crucify your kingl’ the chief priests answered, ‘We have no king but Cwsar.’” This question by Pilate and answer by the chief priests is one of the most natural dialogues iu the history of Christ. It shows the tendency of human nature to seek after the material things of this world instead of the spiritual. The energies of brain and body of man are used for the purpose of accomplishing results that are unendurable and unprofitable. Men refuse that which is promised in order to take what is material. Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. Man, in attempting to appease animal appetite, forgets the judgments and promises or God. Mr. Small contrasted the self-denying Christian with the man who followed the ways of the world, and, continuing the subject of the text, said: The chief priests were the heads of the Jewish people; they held the highest offices of the Jews, and were their leaders. They saw Christ setting up a kingdom and followed by many people, and they called Him a usurper. Holding supremacy over tho Jews, they refused to accept Christ Pilate knew of Jewish traditions and laws, and said: ‘Beware what yon demand of me as civil governor Shall I crucify your spiritual ruler, the Son of God!’ The chief priests, following their desire after material things, answered: ‘We have no king but Cfpsar.’ This was the first acknowledgement they had ever made te Caesar as king. They had been calling him usurper, autocrat and tyrant, persecutor of their praying in synagogues and on housetops, asking God to remove the authority of Caesar, but when that

one came claiming to be ruler of the Jews they repudiated him. Pilate gave up to them. There have been many such actions before and since that time. In the common walks of life the same thing is done. 3len repudiate God and His promises, that they may not stand in tho way of the acquisition of present good. They say* business cannot be transacted upon Bible principles, for it loses custom and leads to bankruptcy. This is not true,,. The God-fearing man is the most prosperous; even knaves want to deal with an honest man. The speaker made a strong plea for honest men in every trade, profession or department of business, and spoke of the desperate state of things where personal integrity moat be supplanted for a financial bond against personal robbery. He referred to the standards as found in the word of God for man’s conduct in material as well as spiritual things, but said that thsse are constantly set aside by man, who sets up bis own standards of moral obligation, and depeuds upon his own conscience which becomes Blunted by ignoraucs and its poD-education. In nine cases out of ten where men go wrong it is because they follow their own judgement, whieh is faliable. Tho judgment of God is infaliable and the one for all men to follow. The speaker believed in the education of the conscience, and that parents should cultivate the moral side of the child’s nature as well as the neutral. He closed with an eloquent portrayal of the Christian faith and position as founded npon the prophesies of the Old Testament and the revelations of the New. The Camp-Meeting at Battle-Ground. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Lafayette, Ind., Aug. B.—One of the largest crowds ever on the grounds assembled at Battleground, to day, at the Northwestern Conference camp-meeting. Excursion trains, carryine from seven to ten coaches of passengers each, ran from the city each honr, and a large number of excursions from neighboring cities were in attendance. The camp-meeting grounds were crowded, and the Battle-ground was also filled with picnickers. At - all the meetings the tabernacle was filled to its utmost capacity. Rev. R. 31. Barnes, of Richmond, delivered the morning sermon. His theme was the “Ideal Man.” It was a very able effort, logical arm convincing. The afternoon sermon was by Dr. Earl Cranston. of Cincinnati It was an expository sermon of great power. The evening sermon, by Dr. Earl Cranston, was received with appreciation, and was a splendid effort. The Southern Evangelists Will Return. At the close of the service at Roberts Park Church last evening, Mr. Small stated that it was qnite probable that Mr. Jones and himself would return to Indianapolis some time in November, to engage in a series of meetings. Accessions to the Sixth Church. At the Sixth Prebyterian Church yesterday Rev. George Booth received seven members, four of whom were received by certificate. There were also threo baptized. The prospects of this church are very encouraging. BASE-BALL. Record of Games Played Yesterday by Clubs of the American Association. St. Louis, Aug. B.—The game this afternoon between the Browns and the Athletics abounded with many pretty plays, but otherwise was uninteresting, as the Browns won about as they pleased. The double play in which Latham, Robinson and Foutz assisted was one of the most brilliant ever seen on the grounds. McGarr’s work at short was superb, and he made a double play unassisted. The home club did not make a single fielding error. Attendance, 9,000. Score: ' St. Louis O 1 3 0 0 1 1 1 o—7 Athletics O 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 I—3 Earned runs — St. Louis, 3, Athletics. 3.

Louisville, Aug. B.—Lynch was suffering with a sore arm to-day, and could pitch lintie better than dewdrops, consequently Louisville won from the 3letropolitans without any extra effort. The game was witnessed by 5,000 people. Browning, who seems to have recovered some of his oid form, made a single, a two-base, a three-base hit and a home-run drive, much to the delight of his old admirers. Hecker also hit hard, making four hits out of five times at the bat. Louisville 1 3 0 0 2 1 2 1 I—ll Metropolitans. 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 3 6 Earned runs—Louisville, 7. Home rnn— Browning.

Cincinnati, Aug. B.—Cincinnati again sue curnbed to Brooklyn’s heavy batters, to day, and although they outflelded the visitors, narrowly escaped a total shut-out. Terry’s batting and the second-base play of both teams were the features. Umpire Walsh did fine work. Burch was spiked in the seventh, and Screiber took his place.

B.— The statement that the St. Louis League base ball team is about to disband' and the Pittsburgs take its place seems to be unfounded. Mr. Lucas positively asserts that his club will play all of their scheduled games this season. He is filling the places of those released with new men, who improve the team greatly. Base Hall in Indiana, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Logansport, Aug. B.—The Logansport Stars vs. Kokomo played an exciting game of base ball to-day, in which the Stars were victorious.

B.— The international lacrosse match between the Toronto and New York clubs will commence at 5 o’clock to-mor-row afternoon, at St. George, Staten Island. The Irish Lacrosse team arrived here to-day on the Etruria. The men are in excellent condition for their games of Tuesday and Wednesday on Staten Island. The Fishermen Reporting. Gloucester, Mass.. Aug. B. Several large fares of fish arrived here, to-day, from the Grand Banks. The schooner H. B. Griffin brings 375,000 pounds of codfish, the largest fare received here this season. The schooner Orient, from the bay, brings 600 barrels of mackerel, the largest mackerel fare of the season. During the past twenty-four hours a total of 1,700.000 pounds of codfish, and 1,450 barrels of mackerel from the bay and 150,000 pounds of halibut hare arrived. _____________________ Years Teach More than Books. Among other valuable lessons imparted by this teacher is the fact that for a very long time Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery” has been the prince of liver correctives and blood purifiers, being the household physician of the poor man, and the able consulting physician to the rich patient, and praised by all for its magnificent service and efficacy in all diseases of a chronic nature, as malsrial poisoning, ailments of the res pi r a tor v and digestive systems, liver disease, and in all cases where the use of an alterative remedy is indicated.

THE COMING COEN CROP. Partial Failure in Illinois and lowa—lndiana Has a Good Crop, and Ohio a Pair One. Chicago, Aug. B.—The following crop summary will appear in this week's issue of tfie Farmers’ Review: Rains have improved the prospects for corn in portions of Minnesota, lowa, Illinois. Ohio and Kansas, while in Indiana the tenor of the reports indicate a full average yield. Very large sections in all the remaining corn-growing States have, as yet, had no relief from the drought, and reports are now coming which would indicate a failure of the crop in wide arias. The reports from Putnam county, in Illinois, state that much of the corn is fired in the ear, and some to the tassel. The entire crop threatens to be a failure. In Schuyler county, Illinois, entire fields are reported destroyed. In Bureau, Edwards, Iroquois, Union, Piatt, DeKalb and Pulaski counties, in Illinois, thou sands of acres are reported rained, and the outlook, even with rain, does not indicate more than one-half a crop. In Montgomery and Edgar counties timely rains have insured the prospect of a good yield. In Jasper, Fayette, Clay, 31uscatine. Hardin and Tama counties in lowa, the outlook is regarded as very poor, with a prospect of not to exceed one-third to one-half an average yield. In Sac, Woodbury and Webster counties, in lowa, there is still the promise of a full average crop. In Ohio, the general outlook for corn has been improved by rains, with an outlook of 85 per cent, of an average yield. In Atchison, La Belle and Allen counties, in Kansas, there is tho prospect of one-half an average yield of corn. In Chataqua and Graham counties the yield is placed at three fourths of an average. In 3linnesota corn has attained a erowth of six to eight feet, and the present outlook is for nearly a full average crop. In Olmstead and Blue Earth counties tbe outlook is very good. Throughout 31issouri the prospect is not good for more than one-half to three-fourths of an average crop. The reports from Wisconsin do not give the promise to exceed one-half an average yield. In Nebraska, the prospect continues good for nearly a full average yield. The quality of the winter wheat is generally reported as above the average. The berry is plump and hard, giving a promise that the grain will grade unusually well. This is tenor of re ports from Kansas. Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. The yield of spring wheat in lowa ranges from twelve to twenty-two bushels to the acre, only one county (Muscatine) reporting the latter figures. Iu Minnesota the yield is reported at from ten to fifteen bushels. In Nebraska the yield ranges from six to fifteen bushels. The complaints are general from-lowa, Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois of pastures drying up and failing. LABOR ANI) THE TRADE& Reorganization of the Central Labor Union in New York. New York, Aug. B.—The last regular meeting of the Central Labor Union under its existing system, held this afternoon at Clarendon Hall, was very lively. The principal change in the system, to go into effect by next Sunday, will be a division of the Union into trade sections. It is believed that this will greatly facilitate the transaction of business. Tbe personale of the organization will remain as it is. The sections will conduct routine matters and the general body will take up only business of importance. An unusually large number of delegates were present to-day. The chief question was that of the differences between the Knights of Labor and the Progressive Cigar-makers’ Union, and the position tnat the Central Union should take regarding them. A week ago the latter body passed a resolution expressing svmnathy with t.ne Progressives. It was the intention of the Knights in the oody to change the record to-day. The Unionists began tho battle, however. The German fresco painters handed in a communication advising that the Central Union should render assistance, moral and financial, to the.clear makers. There was an excited discussion, and the communication was finally mid upon the table by a vote of 183 to IG3. This is said to have been one of the largest oallots ever taken in tho Union. The Knights became very enthusiastic and cheered like wild men. A motion to reconsider the resolution of sympathy was lost for want of a two thirds vote. During its discussion, the members worked themselves up to almost white heat. Several of them representing opposiue factions came to blows, and it looked at one time as though a gen oral riot would occur.

The Huntsville (Mo.) Strike. St. Louis. Amr. 8. —The Huntsville (Mo.) coal-miners have prepared a circular, setting forth their views on the strike, begun on May 1, on account of the reduction in the price of mining from 94 ceuts to &0 cents per ton. At the interstate convention of miners and operators, held at Kansas City, on July 13, 1880. a resolution was passed recommending that the troubles at Huntsville be made the subject of arbitration. The miners accordingly prepared an address to their employers, offering to arbitrate their difference. Their proposal was for the miners to select three men and the company three, each of these three to select one more, and these two to select a third, thus forming a court of nine arbiters, to inform themselves thoroughly concerning the situation of the miners and business, and to decide the price per ton to be paid for mining. Tbe offer to arbitrate has been refused by the operators, and war to the knife declared against the miners, according to the latter’s statement of the case. The men have accepted the gaee thus thrown down, and a protracted struggle will ensue. The Central Labor Union in Politics. Chicago, Aug. B.—The Central Labor Union, a Socialistic organization, tbe branches of which have a total membership of about ten thousand, chose delegates to-day for a convention called for Aug 21. to nominate a “Workingmen’s Ticket,” to be voted for at the coming county election. Durine the meeting it was incidentally stated that 5 514.000 had been raised in the East to defend the eight Anarchists now on trial in this city. The Anarchist picnic, to-day, netted about $1,600 for the same object. Strike in the Bolling Mill at Lancaster, Pn. Lancaster, Pa., Aug. 7. — The heaters of the Columbia rolling-mill to-day joined tbe puddlers in their strike for Philadelphia prices, and work has been entirely suspnndeded there. The chances are that there will be a long strike. A Badly Managed Affair. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. B.—A special from Huntsville. Mo., says: “W. A Brockman and his son Riehard engaged in a hunt last night for thieves, which resulted disastrously to both. The father, after his family had retired, loaded his shot-gun and concealed himself in the bushes near his bee hives to guard them from the ravages of thieves, by whom he had recently been robbed. After he had been on duty for a while, his son concluded that he would guard the hives, not knowing that his father was engaged in the occupation. He loaded his gun and walked to the door, Where he stood and listened, and hearing some moving around iD the bushes, fired and shot his father in the breast. The latter, thinking bo had been shot by a thief, returned the fire, filling his son’s face with buckshot. Both a;*e seriously wounded.” The Policy of the Treasury. Washington, Aug. B.—Acting Secretary Pairchild returned to this city to-night from New York. In reply to an inquiry he said that there had been no recent Cabinet consideration of the qnestion of bond calls nor no decision by the President on the subject. His (Fairchild’s) statements before tbe Sen Ate finance committee that bonds would be called as rapidly as prudent administration permitted conveyed all that had been determined upon the subject. The amount of the next call and of the calls to be issued du nog the summer had not been agreed upon, and would be decided by tbe financial statement each month. Tbe belief is quite prevalent that th% calls will be more liberal in the near future. Burglars Capture 1 In the Act. New York, Aug. B.—Per several days past four suspicious-looking characters have been loitering about the village of Astoria, Long Islaud, and as their attention seemed to be mainly given

to the postoffice it was decided by the authorities, on Saturday, to put an extra watch on the building. The postmaster, three inspectors and two detectives composed the guard. While lying in wait, about midnight, on Saturday, they saw four men force the fastenings from a rear door and enter the building. After allowimr a few tninntes to elapse the watchers surrounded the building and called upon the marauders to surrender. They were answered by a fusillade from the burclars' revolvers The fire was promptly returned, and resulted in the wounding of one man. He and another were captured and taken to the station-house, but the other two escaped. NON-UNION TANNERS MOBBED. The Town of Peabody, Mass., Witnesses a Terrific Demonstration Against “Scabs.” • Salem, Mass., Aug. 7. —A mob of a thousand men, women and boys took possession of Foster street, Peabody, to-day at noon, just as the nonunion men from Boston, who arrived last night, came out from the Franklin Osborne tannery. Chief Peasley and Officer Crowley were the only policemen present, but succeeded in keeping the crowd in check till the whistle biew. The obnoxious men started in a wagon down Foster street, followed by the wildly-excited throng. The police did their best to keep back the mob, but they were overpowered, and before the wagon was fifty feet from the factory, driving at breakneck speed, someone hit the driver with a stone. This was the signal for a volley of missiles, which fell thick and fast about the wagou. Several of the men were hit, but none were hurt seriously. The driver whipped his horses to a gallop and left the crowd behind amid a volley of jeers, yells, and execrations. The mob then took a short cut to Fellows's board in e-house on Bowditch court, knowing that the “scabs” would be taken there. The men were safely housed hefore they arrived. The crowd increased until 500 crazy men and women were gathered about the house, the women outrivaling the men in throwing stones and threatening the- “scabs.” When the first stone was fired Mr. Fellows rushed out. with a revolver and shouted, “Don’t throw another rock or I’ll shoot” This exasperated the mob all the more, and a shower of stones rattled against the house, breaking every pane of glass, smashing the blinds, filling the dining-room with stones, and smashing the crockery on the table. Just at this point the police came up, and after a hard fight, in which the officers used the butts of their revolvers and the rioters hurled volleys of stones, the mob was driven back. Twelve officers came on the double quick from Salem, and with their aid the street was cleared. Three of the rioters were arrested. A dozen people were hurt in the scrimmage, but they were hurried away, and their names are not known Fonr children were in Fellows’s house when it was attacked, and one of them narrowly escaped being killed by a large pavingstone which was hurled iu at the window. After dinner the men were got out by a back way and hurried to the tannery before the crowd saw them. During the afternoon the excitement steadily increased, and when the factory shut down at 5 o'clock 3,000 people were gathered about the entrance. When the men started for the board-ing-house a volley of rocks followed them, and the scenes of the noontime were repeated. Chief Peasley was knocked down by a stono which struck him on the leg. Jumping up he drew his revolver and led a charee of his men. forcing the crowd back.- About twenty people were injured in the fight. The six men were taken to the boarding house, where they are sleeping to-night, protected by twelve officers. All are armed with revolvers, and they say they will shoot if again attacked. The house, which looks as if it had been through the civil war, is surrounded at midnight by a howiing, yelling mob.

TWO MORE FOODS Make the Trip Thronjrh the Niagara Whirlpool Rapids in a Cask. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. h.—The turbulent waters of the Niagara whirlpool rapids were again navigated in a cask to-day, the nenlous feat being successfully accomplished by two men. The daring voyaeers were William Potts and George Hazlitt, two coopers who wore employed in the sameshop with Graham, who made the initial trip about three weeks ago. The barrel-boat was ten feet long, conical in form and built of the best locust staves. It was supplied with a keel, rudder, screw-wheel and a turret, with glass covered peep-holes. About three hundred pounds of sand ballast kept it right side up most of the time. The two men lay back to back while passing through the more turbulent waters, clinging to handles made fast to the sides of the cask. Each man, likewise, kept on his own side of the cask by means of a canvas sling made fast to staples. The start was made from the Maid of the Mist landing, on the Canadian side, at 4:25 p. m. A row-boat towed the cask to a point just above the cantilever bridge, where it was turned adrift in the middle of the stream. The novel craft was submerged about half the time while passing through the rapids, but while circumscribing the outer circle of the whirlpool its occupants thrust their heads through the opening, and Potts calmly smoked a cigar. A successful landing was made at Queenstown, on the Cantda side, five miles further down the river. The entire voyage occupied fifty-five minutes. The feat was witnessed by no less than fifteen thousand spectators. Mexican Revolutionists Cross the Border. St. IjOUIs, Mo., Aug. B.—A dispatch from Rio Grande City, Tex., says a heavy force of Mexican revolutionists crossed the river into Texas on Thursday night. A troop of the Eighth Uuited States Cavalry was ordered, yesterday, from Ringgold barracks to pursue and disarm them. The New Process of Obtaining Health Without Medicine, The nervous system is the seat of animal life, and controls the functions of ths body. Tho functions of the body are to take nutrition and throw off a corresponding amount of old wornout and excrementitial material. While the nerves are strong enough to control this function properly, we are healthy. When its strength has been impaired by overwork or the abuse of stimulants, it fails to do so, and we are ill, because the bowels, liver and other organs eannot free themselves. Keep the nervous system supported, and medicine is unnecessary, except in inflammations, which often originate from the above cause. Lately a harmless, tasteless plant has been discovered in South America, as simple as grass, that acts as a powerful nerve food, produces no stimulation or reaction, but immediately destroys the effect of stimulants, and stops nervousness and nervous exhaustion at on cel makes you strong, hungry, regular in the functions of the body; stops the liquor appetite in old drunkards, makes them feel better; and, properly prepared, ie a fine beverage and pays the liquor-dealers a larger profit. It is creating a big sensation in the large cities, and is being liberally and constantly used by almost everybody. It is found on the President’s side-board, and in ail the government departments, and an illustrious Senator is noticed aa having a mug of it constantly on his desk in the Senate. It has spread over the country like wild-fire. They call it the Moxie Nerve Food. The druggists are getting it quite fast, and the sale, after a few months, is enormous. It is popular with the ladies. It will go.
