However, the fire department responded promDtly to a still alarm, ""ind the fire was eztineuisbed before the flames lid much damage. How the fire got to the alco- - sol is a mystery. ABBESTED FORGIVING ADVICE. Jesse Murphy, jr., of Glen wood, was arrested esterday by Deputy United States Marshal Ward on a charge of interfering with the mails. The offense, it is said, consists io bis advising people not to mail their letters in the Glenwood Kstoffice, but on the train. The trouble is atibuted to a disagreement between Mr. Murphy, who is a Republican, and the newly appointed Democratic postmaster. Mr. Murphy was re- . easel on his own recognizance in the sum of $500 for appearance before the United States Commissioner to-day. PROVIDING FOB THE STATE INSTITUTIONS. Unless the law providing for such action is complied with in a few days warrants to pay the past month's expenses of the benevolent institutions cannot be drawn on account of failare of appropriation. It is provided by Section 2758 R. Si, that it snail be lawfol when such a contingency arises for the Governor, Secretary and Treasurer of State to direct the Auditor of Stat to draw his warrants on the treasury for such sums as they may from time to time decide to be neceseary for meeting the current ex penses of the State institutions. The appropriations made two years ago have expired and this is the only means by which they can be continued. The law restricts the officers named in ordering these expenditures to the amounts of the last appropriations made by the General Assembly, but they can order less sums if they see fit. A meeting of the Governor, Secretary and Treasurer of State will bo doobt be beld shortly to consider what will be necessary to ran the institutions until the Legislature meets. THE TBUST LEASES MORE OAS TERRITORY. The Consumers Gas Trust, yesterday, purchased the leases and wells in Hamilton county of the Coopers' syndicate. It includes two wells and a .contract to drill four more. The leases cover about 1,700 acres, in addition to wbieh the Trust has leased so far, 700 acres in that neighborhood. One of the wells thus secured is the Waddell, which Mr. Cooper says yields from 12,000,000 to 16.000.000 feet of gas daily. The Trust directors think this purchase advances their work considerable and that they win oe a Die to get gas to tne city much sooner than they expected. In regard to the Broad Ripple company, if the proposed test Saturday evening proves satisfactory, an arrangement may be made with the Trus't to have it take the property conditionally, with the guarantee of purchase if the flow of gae continues profitable. Several directors of the Trust favor this plan. It is expeeted that early action will be taken in reference to amending the ordinance in those features which are admitted by all concerned to be objectionable. FOB SU DAY-SCHOOL WORKERS. A meeting for the study of the Sunday-school lesson Is held every Saturday in the parlors ef the Young Men's Christian Association, beginning at 12 o'clock, noon, and continuing one hour. The purpose is to unite the teachers of all denominations in a more thorough preparation for the Unties of the ensuing Sabbath. This end will be best secured if previous study can be given during the week by those who attend, and the results bronebt for comparison and further examination and illustration. It is expeeted also that the association will be helpful in a variety of ways, even beyond the special furnishing for the work of teaching. Dr. Gilbert, pastor of Meridian-street AL E. Church. lor many years identified with normal and training classes nnder the International Sunday-school Association, baa consented for the present to lead the meeting. His method wtll not only involve an elucidation of the truths contained in the lessons, but, at the same time, supply bints upon the art of teaching, covering both the matter and manner of religious instruction. All are invited Christians not teachers being welcome to bring theit Bibles and participate freely in the exercises. Itema from the Courts. JI5TED OX THBEE CHARGES.

He was found guilty in each ease, and was fined $20 and costs on the first charge, and $5 and costs on saeh of the second. CANNOT RECOVER HIS LICENSE FEE. The suit of Collins, the vault-cleaner, against the city to recover money he had paid for a license, brought on the ground that the city bad no right to charge him for license, was decided by Judge Walker cn demurrer yesterday. The decision was that the payments were voluntary, and therefore eonld not Ue recovered. Quite a number of vault-cleaners were ready to bring suit bad the ruling been in their favor.' editor craig's trial fob libel. The trial of the suit of Philip Rappaport, editor of the German Tribune, against W. J. Craig, proprietor of the Sentinel, for criminal libel has been set for Saturday, at 9 o'clock. The plaintiff has caased subpoenas to be issued pr a large number of persons who were present at the meeting when the incendiary speech is Said to have been uttered, and the defendant frill aleo have a number of witnesses to show that there was foundation for such a report as Iras given. GOT TYPHfU5 FROM HIS NEIGHBOR. The suit of William Shiel, residing on Jeff ergon avenue, against his next-door neighbor, John Best, for $1,500 for maintaining a nuisance, is on trial before a jury in Judge Howe's sourt. Some months ago several members of the family f Shiel were prostrated with typhoid fever, which he alleges was ransed by contamination of his well with a cess pool Best kept in hie yard. All the people in the neigheffort is being made to show that the two families have been at swords' points for a long time, and that the suit was brought through malice. THE CITY'S SYSTEM OF BOOK-KEEPING. The presentation of the fourteen-year-old note to ue city lor payment, when every one or the present city officers thought the 'matter had been settled long ago, has called forth some criticism in the city's system of book-keeping; Actlng Citv Clerk Fanning thinks this unjust, as the system of aceodnts followed hre is as complete as that of any other city. "It cannot be improved," be said, "unless a separate account is opened with every individual with whom the city does business. That would be impossible, and there is no necessity for it. for there ia not a warrant paid that has not been passed upon by the city board to whose department the account is charged. Besides this, there are three receipt, counting the warrant Itself, for every sue paid. There is no chance for double payments.' Amusement Matters. THE HIVE-KINO CONCERT.

BEN nCGAN'S APPEAL TO SINNERS. He Complains that Church People Do Not Do Their Duty as Christians. It was not a large, audience that greeted Ben Hogan, the revivalist, at the Y. M. C. A. Hall last night, but in character it was the kind he has been asking fort, In the main, it was composed of young men from the street, whom Mr. Hogan and his associate, Thomas Lavery, had picked up on the corners and in the saloons during tbe afternoon and evening. , Among those who occupied the back seats there were not a few whose faces were familiar to the reporters, whose business takes -them around the police station and the Mayor's court. Many of them slipped out during the progress of tbe meeting, but more Temamed, and listened attentively, to the close of their arraignment. Church-going people were not conspicuous in the audience, and , Mr. Hogan, daring the course of his remarks, painfully alluded to the lukewarmness of professing Christians, and referred to the failure of the Christiaa people to even furnish him music. i Lieutenant Thomas Lavery, of Chicago, who is assisting Mr. Hogan in his work, spoke first. He began by relating a bit of his personal history, and told how, until seven years ago, be was associated with the worst element in Chicago. For years he kept a saloon there, and at the time of his conversion be was a confirmed drunkard. He said he was one of a widow's ten children, and being poor, he was early cast out into the street to care for himself. Failing in with evil associates, he grew up in vice, and when he reaehed manhood found himself so bound by it that he could not free himself. He told bow drunkards were made, and how difficult it was for a man to reform who had once become a slave to drink. Sinners, he said, looked upon religicn as something different from what it is. It was on aecount of its simplicity that people stumbled over it. At the conclusion of Mr. Lavery's talk am an in the rear of the room arose and said that ' he at one time was a Christian, but was now a sinner, and separated from bis family. He had accidentally come to the meeting the first night, and there was something that drew bim back again. - "Marching on to Zibn" was sung by the audience, and then Mr. Hogan spoke. He said: ''Some people have asked me why I would not hold my meetings in a church." The' reason is because the people would then say the meeting was sectarian. I am working for humanity and for no sect I go out into the street, and into the hiding-places of the sinful and diatribute my eards, inviting the people to come and hear me. . Because of this soma people say I am a low-grade worker. That is what I want to be. If I was hired by some church to come here and hold a revival at $200 per night the people would flock to hear me. The trouble with tbe people is they are blinded by the deviL I could go home and live like a king, instead of running from rum-hole to rum-bole,-and bringing in the people. There are too many lukewarm churchmembers who are afraid to. speak to the sinners oo the street. The churches are futl of people who do not to eay a word to a soul thirsting for salvation. They are willing enough, but they have been trained in one groove and can't get out of it. I .believe in bunting up tbe sinner and taking him by the band. That is my gospel I believe I can convince the yonng men from the street who come here that it is a great deal better to spend their idle time here in the Y. M. C A building than in a whisky shop, or pool-room, or on the street listening to foul remarks. I spent the greater portion of my life in the gambling-honse. and I know I never learned a single good thing. In the last cine years, since I left my old companions, my brain, heart and soul have been built up. Many a time have I ben walking the streets of New York, when suddenly I wouIhave a premonition that there was a 'fly cop' ou the next square, and I wonld change my eourse. Why did I do tbatf It was my conscience. I knew I was an outlaw and was biding from tbe sight of honest people. If you will stop and reason yon will know whether you are a sinner or not. The trouble is we cannot get men to stop and reason. They say to morrow I wilL Tboy are building up a kingdom on earth when they should be building one in heaven. Tbe Bible says look aftr the kingdom of heaven first, all things el-e shall be added." At the close of his talk Mr. Hogan passed through the audience and shook hands with all present. Quite a number asked the prayers of Christian people, and promised to do better. The meetings will be continued Indefinitely. To-morrow night there will be a concert in the hall, and a short service by Mr. Hogan at its close. DR. WOOD'S TWO WIVES. One Lives in Chicago, and the Other in Indianapolis, and Both Procure Divorces. Mrs. Clarinda E. Wood, of Haughville, was yesterday granted a divorce from her husband, Dr. Wilbur F. Wood, by Judge Wralker, on proof that he had abandoned her, and at the time of her marriage to him he had a wife living in Chicago. The revelations that furnished Mrs. Wood sufficient cause for divorce form quite a story. Wood is the physician who fled from this city several months ago, because of the fact that his first wife turned up in Chicago, aud filed a suit for divorce and $5,000 alimony. Slie obtained the decree, and a judgment for the amount asked, but when she came here to collect it she found her former husband g ne, and no property for her. Years ago Wood was a judge in Michigan. Later he moved to Kansas, and was sent to the Legislature, where he distinguished himself as a leader. Leaving Kansas, he went to South America, where he remained a short time, and then returned to Boston, Mass. There he wedded the lady who Wiis granted a divorce yesterday, whose maiden name was Clemens. They came to this city, and he established the Indiana Eclectic Medical College. His wife became a student under hiin, and took a thorough course. They resided in Haughville. and both were practicing at the time the Chicago womanmade her appearance. Dr. Wood always claimed that when he married the second time he believed his first wife to te dead.

Run'no risks, but begin immediately to take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. r. : Several years ago,' James Eircliard, of Darien, Conn., was severely ill. The doctors said he was in Consumption, and that they could do nothing for him, but advised him, as a last resort, to try Ayer's Cherry Pectpral. After taking this medicine, two or three months, he was pronounced a well man. His health remains good to thf present day. J7 S. Bradley, Maiden Mass.i writes : " Three winters ago I took a severe cold, which rapidly developed into Bronchitis and Consumption. 4 I was so weak; that I could not sit up, was much emaciated, and coughed incessantly. , I consulted several doctors, but they were powerless, and all agree-! that I was in Consumption. At last j a friend brought me a bottle of Ayer's. Cherry Pectoral. From the first dose, I found; relief. Two bottles cured me,' and my health has since been perfect."

TAB SWEETEST AND MOST NUTRITIOUS.

The new Toy Books a great big stack, And he begins to fill his pack. Now to a dif 'rent pile he looks, And helps himself to older books. There's books of Poems, large and small, And books of stories, good for all With books in sets of many rols., -As beautiful as Christmas dolls.

At price of each he takes a peep, Ana chuckles, then exclaims,

cheap! Into his pack a cord he flings, Of books, then looks for other things. And finds them? Well, "we should

re-

mark!" ' Enough to fill old Noah's ark! Albums bound in plush and calf, For Photo and for Autograph, And Pocket-books and Purses, too, Gold Pens and Pencils, not a few; And Christmas Cards, and Toilet Sets, A few of each, he quickly gets. And now he spies, back near the door, A thing he never saw before. -What's this?! He picks it up to look, 'Tis not a toy :'tis not a book He sees the name with joy he "hollers" 4 World Type-writer rRics eight dollars!" , See him sitting down to try it He has often wished to buy it For he's heard the people say, Its a wonder, in its way. Yes! it works! ! now see him sock itDown into his big-coat pocket. That looks like stealing, after night, But, then, who has a better right? And now his pack is full of pelf; Just watch the old man hump himself To lift it. Law! just hear him grunt! Now he staggers towards the front; Out at the door he makes his way, And goes right straight to his reindeer sleigh. Into the'sled his load he drops, Upon the seat he nimbly pops, WinKs his eye, and blows his nose. Cracks his whip, and away he goes! The End.
