Observations Made by a Physician of the Calls He Has Attended to Save Men and Women. The nnmber of poisoning cases constantly occurring aro sufficient to excite more than passing comment, and to lead to inquiry into the probablo causes ana conditions -whicli actnate thoso who seek self- - destruction by this medium for ending the cares and troubles of their existence. Most of these cpscs are composed of people in indigent circumstances, or who have led a lifo of shame or dissipation, and therefore, as a rule, they are treated at the City Dispensary. Dr. Woodbnrn, of that public charity, talking to a Journal reperter, yesterday, recalled facts and incidents concerning the cases which havo come under his notice. 'From the population of the city," he said, "comparatively speaking, there aro more cases of suicide, and attempted " suicide, by taking poison than in any other city in the Union. In the month of May last we had twenty cases in twenty days, and Dr. Hurbeck. another official of the dispensary, has treated as many as eleven cases in one week. Beside, wo heard of other cases in the city which did not conio under our treatment. In fact, at that time there appeared to be a regular epidemic of poisoning." "What i the poison generally used, Doctori" "Morphine in the majority of the cases, and next to this drug comes chloroform. I think it is a pity there is no Stato law to prevent druggists selling morphine and other deadly drugs. In the majority of States a law is in force to the ellect that no druggist can sell a poison without a physician' prescription.' "What would bo about tho arerage doso taken?' "The average quanty of morphine is about eight grains, the prico of which would be 10 cents. I believe most of tho people take the poison without the inten tionof killing themselves, and 'generally owing to some trouble between husband, wife or lover." "During the past summer how many fatal cases have you had!' "An average of one in twenty. There have been four fatal cases this summer: three girl and one old man." "In what sex is the suicidal mania most prevalentl" "Among tho female portion of the community. There havo been butjew cases of poisoning among tho males; and theso leraales. too. are quite young, their ages Tanging from seventeen to twenty-two years. I should say there would bo nine cases ot leuiale poisoning to one male." "Is there any natural cause to which you can ascribe this suicidal tendency!" "1 hould say that a predisposition towards melancholy is conducive to a desire to tnd their lives. A man or woman become morbid, and a baa spell of weather will often act as an incentive to suicide." "Have you ever noticed anything particular in tho appearanco of the cases . brought under your notice!' "Nothing very strange, only that most of them hav been of a dark complexion. Very few light complexioned people commit suicide." Disturbed the Peace. Charles Cheat nro and Lulu Cookerly, both of whom, at the police station, yesterday, showed unmistakable sigus of tho tug of war, were arrested by Sergeant Lowe on charges of assault and battery and breach of the peace. Cheat ure keeps a saloon on Indiana avenue, and the woman occupies a room above him.

SERVICES AT THE CIIUIICIIES

A Sermon Setting Forth the Answer of Christ's Gospel to Labor and Capital. The Twentieth Anniversary Observed bj the South-Street Baptist Congregation Dr. Jeffery at the Second Church. Rev. Edward P. Whallon, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, addressed his congregation last night upon tho topic, "The Gospel Answer to the Labor Question," taking his text from Matthew vii, 12: "Therefore all things whatsoever yo would that men do unto you, do yo even so unto them." The minister said that this has been called tho golden rule. If it were universally adopted and acted upon, it would bo better for men than if the stones of our streets should turn to gold. It "would bo the millennium already come. Tomorrow being Labor day, it is well to consider this as a practical question- Everybody seea that there is something wrong in our society. There aro organizations among workingmcu for the purpose of righting what are called wrongs, and it is perfectly legitimate that there should be such organizations. There are extremes to bo found. There are criminal, vagabond, loud mouthed men who come to the front in the name of labor, and perform acts which bring into contempt tho cause which they espouse. These men do not rightfully represent laboring rueu. The sooner they cease to be heard tho better it will 1 for the whole body of society and for workingmen as well. lint back of all these there aro sorao very serious onuses for discontent and trouble. Millions of the population are laboring for daily wages, ana with many the condition is not so good as it was years ago. In the last fifteen years the values of the country have doubled, and the wages-of laborers, the year through, have diminished ouefourih. The tide of labor still pours over from Europe, and there are thousands ready to keep wages down by accepting very low prices. A great many havo come with false theories. Nihilism, comtnunism, socialism, insist onthe destruction of all private rights in property. Hero is one extreme. Whatever concessions tho working people are about to receive are oftentimes interfered with by the fear of encouraging these theories. There is another extreme on the side of wealth. There are those who havo been rolling up fortunes of multiplied millions by stock speculations, wrecking railroads, and other processes, so that in the whole fortunes of some of these there is not a single honest or clean dollar to be found. Here is a class of sharp, dishonest, successful criminals, just as much criminals as the bombshell Anarchist. .Between these two extremes is the large middle class, who, for the main part, are interested in doing right. , From them, under God, tho relief is to come. They are the ones to work it out. Men must live together in patience, in kindness, and in forbearance, and seok, by education, the diffusion of truth and the blessing of God, to make it impossible for these extreme crimes to bo committed. CiviLlaw is an educator. Good laws have been a blessing, but all the laws in the world can never do as much for man as he can do for himself. There may bo laws made which shall make it unprofitable to own even a million of dollars by making the larger fortunes bear increasingly the larger burden of taxation; that men may be led, instead of hoarding up millions, to be more considerate and generous to those whom they employ. It may never be made a crime to own a township of land.yet it may be made so unprofitable to own even a few hundreds of acres, by reason of increasingly heavy taxes as the amount increaseMhat landholders shall not care to burden themselves with any amount beyond that which is prolitable for actual use. There might be such an inducement to tho poor to own small farms and houses, in the way of immunity from taxation, that there should bo a larg'ely increased number of men and families interested in tho maintenance of law, order and peace. Laboring men. said the preacher, need to learn that they are doing only a part of the work of tho world. The work in offices, studios and laboratories often demands not eight but eighteen hours. Ouo of the worst difficulties in the way of the laboring men is the saloon. If our laboring men were all total abstainers, as many of them are, they might be the princes of the land. And those who are rich must learn to obey the golden rule, and havo more consideration for those who aro in humbler circumstances. Two evils go hand in hand tho love of display and the love of getting things cheap and when things aro gotten too cheap it means the life-blood out of some and foolish display for others. Ve need to realize that the world's only hopo lies in the gospel of Christ. As we come to love Him we come to love ono another, and living in accordance with His spirit and teachings is the best solution, of tho vexed questions of society. South-Street Baptist Church. The anniversary services in connection with the South-street Baptist Church drew alarge'audienoc at that edifice yesterday morning. This church was organized Aug. 31,1605), with eighty-one members, seventythree of which number had hitherto attended the First Baptist Church. A handsome brick addition to the old building was dedicated in November, lbS3, owing to the increase in membership, and since that time the church has continued to grow, until now tho i number of members exceeds three hundred. The present pastor. Kev. Alfred C. Whitney, entered upon his duties there the 1st of June last. The interior of the church, yesterday, wa prettily decorated for' the occasion, and lioral designs had been called plentifully into requisition to embellish the pulpit and tables, and upon the wall, effectually placed, wero the dates lSG'J and composed of various colored blossoms. The services held did not differ from the usual order, except in the observance of the Lord's supper. The pastor delivered an eloquent and thoughtful sermon, taking for his text Rev. iii, 8: "I know thy works, behold I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it, for thou hast a little strength, and has kept my word, and hast not denied my name." The preacher dwelt upon the growth of the Baptist faith taken a-j a whole, stating that from a membership of 5.000 among seventyseven churches in 1770 within the United States, it had grown to the approximate number of SJ?,000 churches and 3,000,000 membership. Ho also gave other interesting statistics to to nhow its present nourishing condition, and urged upon his hearers the necessity for maintaining union, but unity lay only in God's word. He exhorted them upon this, the twentieth anniversary of tho church, to hear His voice, and the power and presence of Christ would abido always. In tho evening, at 7 o'clock, tho Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor held a meeting in the auditorium and a 6eries of papers wero read, portraying tho views of the society and the work iu relation to the church. A selection of songs was also given. Later in the evening the menVhers of tho Sunday-school held their anniversary. Addresses were delivered by tho bnndavschool superintendent, A. J. Jo3ce, and the pastor, while tho scholars rendered songs and recitatious. This evening there will be held an anniversary and rcuuiou and fellowship meeting, for which an attractive and varied programme has been provided. It will be followed by an hour of sociability. A Church Dedicated. The congregation of tho First German Reformed Church formally dedicated a new house of worship yesterday. The congregation is one of tho oldest in the city, having been organized in 1S"3, and iu that j-ear it erected a church building on Alabama street, between Market and Washington. Hero tho members worshiped for a period of nearly thirty-seven years. Recently a livery-stable, with h.iIoou attachment, has been opened on cither side of the old church, and tho congregation determined to seek other quarters. Tho result is a s.uall, but Jiandsomo edilico and parsonage on the corner of Noble 'and Ohio streets, tho new building and grounds costing about $0,r00. Tho dedica tion services yesterday consisted of a brief history of the church organization and the new building by tho pastor, Rov. iStienert.

and a sermon by Rev, Jocrris, of Clay county. The old building on Alabama street will be divided up into offices and rented, pending the sale of the property. Sunday-School Normal Classes. Rev. J. E. Gilbert, who has been engaged

in organizing Sunday-school normal classes throughout the State for the last two years, conducted a meeting yesterday afternoon at the First Baptist Church for the purpose of reorganization for the coming year. Ten Sunday-schools of tho North Side were represented and more than fortv new members were added to tho classes, all of whom will enter what is known as the two years' course. The first ineetirur of the advanced class will bo held next Fridav evening, at the First Presbyterian Church, and at the Bame rime me new memoers wiu meet in the First Baptist Church. Military Park Sleeting-. Yesterday was W. C. T. U. day at Mili tary Park, and several hundred peoplo were present at the exercises. Tho principal address was delivered by Mrs. Kate Lof tin, president of the W. C. T. U., on "The Tobacco Habit," liberal mention of which was made in these columns on a former occasion. Miort talks were also made oy Mrs. 11. T. Brown and Iiev. Amos Hanawav. The meeting on Sunday next will bo addressed by Capt; Eli k. Ritter and tho Rev. Jasper N. Hughes. Dr. Jeffery at the Second Church. Rev. Reuben JefTory. D. D., formerly of the First Baptist Church, this city, preached yesterday morning at the Second. Presby terian Church, from Matthew, xxv, 23: Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." There was a large congregation, in spite of the sultry day. and tho Doctor preached an excellent sermon. Following it he was given a season of hand-skakiug by his old friends and neighbors, who were glad to see him here again. ' WHAT HE SAW IX THE SOUTH. Dr. Reuben Jeflery's Views as to the People of the South and the Race Question. . Dr. Reuben Jeffery and wife aro stopping for a few days with G. G. Howe, at Oakland Flats, on North Delaware street. They have just returned from Atlanta. Ga.. whither the Doctor went for his health, and where for five months he supplied tho pulpit of the First Baptist Church of that city. Both the Doctor and his wife are enthusiastic regarding the hospitality of the people of Georgia, not only in At lanta, but other places in that State. "Atlanta is a wonderful city," said the Doctor to a Journal reporter last night. "It is the Chicago of the South, with a population of 75,000 and as active and energetic business men as can be found anywhere. There aro sir institutions there for tho education of colored people, lartre institutions, chiefly church schools. The State, however, provides for the education of the negro in tho common schools, and a certain per cent, of the taxes goes for that uiirnoso. Tho white neoole of Atlan ta, and of Georgia generally, meet Northern people with a great deal of cordiality and iranKness. ir.ere exists raucn auection and confidence between tho old slaves and their former masters. , Toward tho colored people as a rule the relations of the whites aro kindly and pleasant, colored people are colored neonle and tho white people there understand them perhaps better than wo do." "Is thero any danger of trouble with tho two races!" "As the younger generations are coming up s,nd they become educated in a feeling of independence and self-assertion, troublo may come, or it may not; it is all owing to the way tho matter is handled. It is a problem that nobody can solve or predict what the issue maybe. There' is a determination onthe part of the South not to allow tho supremacy of tho negroes, and because they are creatures that can easily bo manipulated by politicians this fear of political supremacy and social equality is always present. There are negroes in Atlanta who are getting along well, making money, and so all over Georgia. In Atlanta there is a negro architect and contractor who is worth 150,000. He has put up some of the best houses in the city, and does his work honestly and well. The negroes themselves aro more disposed to trade with white peoplo than with thoso of their own color. They draw tho line on each other, and as some acquire money and get education and better clothes they become exclusive. The negro women, as they are seen upon tho streets, are neatly dressed. The men are, some of them, dressed indelicately, with rags that do not keep their persons from exposure. In the North such.cxposure would not be tolerated. But tho people of the . South are patient and non-observing, and do not appear to caro much about it. The administration of. justice is raoro lenient to colored than to white oilenders. But many are sent to the chaingang, even some that are mere children, twelve or fourteen years old." Are tho liquor laws enforced!" "Yes; nojninor is allowed inside a barroom. Sunday closing is rigidly enforced, as is closing at 11 o'clock at night. A man may bo arrested for drunkenness on the street, even though not violent. For a second offense he is fined and reprimanded, and for a third offense sent to the chaingang, a disgrace from which a man never recovers. 'Are the people there broad in their views!" "As a whole they cannot bo regarded as broad; they are provincial, and rather proud of it. -They do not know much outside of their own State, and do not care to know. They are proud of Georgia and of her resources, and have tho greatest confidence in her iiual supremacy in manufactures and other industries.", The Doctor will leave on Thursday morning for Brooklyn, N. Y. Mrs. Jeflery will probably remain a week or so longer. Tho Hector, who went South an invalid, declares his health to be fully re-established. Amuieinenti. "A Soap Bubble," a light comedy with E. J. Connelly, Dolly Foster, and several clover performers in tho cast, will be seen at the Park Theater every afternoon and eveuing of this week. The play gives a wide scope for songs, dances and comical situations. It is calculated simply to amuse lor the time being. It is ono of tho. successes amonir plays of its character. Lilly Clay, with her combination of specialty and burlesque performers, will bo at the Grand Operahouse, Wednesday niht, tho encagemcnt being for a single performance. The compauy is a large one, having about lifty members, and the show is said to be a good one. One of Charles H. HoytV best companies, which includes Charles Drew and Flora Walsh, will be at tho Grand Opera-house the last three nights of the week, appearing in Mr. Hoyt's now famous and popular farce-comedy, "A Brass Monkey." This is claimed to bo the author's best production, and it has certainly been a strong attraction wherever it has been played. It had a run of one hundred nights at the Bijou Theater, New York. The engagement here will be the first of tho regular season of the Grand. The Charge Against Dr. Park. In tho case of Dr. E. H. S. Park, who was arrested on Saturday last, charged with malpractice, committed on tho person of Dora Sparks, nothing other than that already reported has been brought to light. The Doctor, who occupies a cell at police headquarters, persists in his statement that he was made a victim of a plot in order to screen the guilty party. Several of his friends visited him yesterday, and ho hopes to bo released on bail to-day. Tho Doctor's arrest followed a statement made by a Mrs. Depper. of Nebraska street, who was detected bv the otlloers in depositing the body of a new-born babe in tho hedgo near her home.

POUND DEAD AT HIS OFFICE

Dr.Terree Dies Within Two Hours After leaving Friends at the Dispensary. Some Physicians Say Positirely His Life Was Ended by Heart Disease, bat Others Think the Strange Conditions Suggest Suicide. Early yesterday morning a man and woman drove in a carriage to the office of Dr. F. M. Ferree, J0i North Meridian street, to procure a check for a trunk which the woman had left at the doctor's office Saturday afternoon, and which he had promised to send to her. Receiving no reply to their repeated knockings at the oftice door, the man, who could seo through the window that some ono was lying upon the sofa, mounted tho window sill and looked oyer the transom into the room. Lying stretched at full length upon the sofa, hfs arms folded across n is breast, his face livid with the hue of death, , he saw the body of the Doctor, and, with a horrified exclamation, jumped down and burst open the door leading into tho olhce. Dr. Wagner, the coroner, was at once summoned, and, with Dr. Dodges, made an examination of the body. They pronouueed life to bo extinct; in fact, the body was then cold, and every appearance indicated that the Doctor had died at least an hour or two before his body tfas discovered. The news of ,the Doctor1 death spread rapidly, and it was spoken of as a case of suicide, tho statement going so far as to carry with it tho name of a young widow residing on Park avenue, near Sixth street. But it is claimed by some of the Doctor's professional friends, who gave the matter immediate attention, that the cause of death was heart trouble. Dr. Ferreo lately told sovcral of them that Lo was 6utlering in that way. One of theso friends was Dr. Woodburn. of the City Dispensary, who, at tho request of the deceased, made an examination a short timo ago and found him so affected. At the residence. No. 514 North Tennessee street, of County Treasurer Sample Lof tin. step-father of tho deceased, it was learned that Doctor Ferreo had frequently comdaiued to his relatives of the troublo his leart occasioned him, and only a day or two ago told his mother, who also suffered from a similar complaint, that he expected they would both die from the same cause. Dr. Berwick, of tbe City Dispensary, who has been an intimate friend of Dr. Ferree for ten years, gives it as his opinion that death was caused by heart disease.' On Saturday night Dr. Ferreo called at the Dispensary, and while there complained of a terrible pain in the region of tho heart to Dr. Berwick. The latter then had occasion to leave the office To attend a poisoning case on Court street, which occupied his attention for three or four hours. Oh returning to the Dispensary, and going tip-stairs to his room, ho louud that Dr. Ferreo hat, also retired, occupying a portion of his bed, instead ox going home, as was his expressed intention earlier in tho night. After sleeping until 4 o'clock, yesterday morning, the deceased got up and dressed, awakening Dr. Berwick, who accompanied him down stairs, where they remained talking for the space of half an hour. Dr. Ferree then left for his office, telling Dr. Berwick that he felt thoroughly played out, and would sleep until the following afternoon, and that was the last timo ho was seen alive, i It is within the range of possibilities that death, owiug to tho weak condition of the heart, resulted from over-excitement produe d by troubles. For some timo ho has been subject to fits of despondency, caused by opposition to his proposed marriage to castle and proceeded to the Doctor's oflice. It was stated by her to the coroner that she left a check for her trunk at tho Doctor's office, and that, early on Sunday morning she tried to gain admittanco to the oflice, as she intended to return to Greencastle. Failing, however, to obtain ingress, she burst open the door and was the first to niako the discovery that tho Doctor waj dead. Early on Saturday night. Dr. Ferree was driving about the city in a hack, but without company, and ho is also supposed to havo been slightly intoxicated. If this is so. it would explain the probable manner in which he came by slight bruises on the face. Another cause for these, and perhaps the true one. is tho story told by Dr. Berwick, who ' states that on being awakened by Dr. Ferreo on Sunday morning they nad some fun together throwing pillows and shoes at each other, and in this manner the bruises and scratches iniht have been inllicted. One thing which is peculiar is the reticence of the medical profession to speak of the cause of the Doctor's death. Those who have known him intimately ascribe it to heart disease, while others, and of high authority, state that it is undoubtedly a case of suicide. But the post-mortem examination, which is to be held this morning, will enable the public to ascertain tho true facts regarding the cause of death. Tried to Kill Himself. Charles F. Dock, of middle age, residing on Rhode Island street, attempted suicide early yesterday morning, by taking a dose of morphine. The ambulance was called and he was conveyed to the City Hospital. For a long time the man's lifo was despaired of, but ultimately the doctors succeeded in bringing him round, and after a few hours he had recovered sufficiently to be able to walk home. ' - CLOTHES WOKN DY LAWYERS. Tho Attire Affected by the Legal Fraternity in the Different States of the Union. County Clerk Wilson, referring to the National Bar Association, which met at Chicago during tho past week, and at which were several members of tho Indianapolis bar, was led to speak, recently, of tho attire of lawyers in various sections of the country. Down East tho traditions which formerly compelled a lawyer to wear a black coat in court, have pretty well faded out, and the counselor-at-law there not infrequently appears in raiment having asmany colors as the celebrated garment of Joseph. David Dudley Field, who has reached the age of eighty, .and still practices law vigorously, recently presented himself iu court in a suit admirably adapted for a tennis court. William F. Howe's costumes are supposed to dazzle New York criminal juries into acquiescence with his views, and Judge Barnard used to go on he bench there in a brown velveteen coat and a red necktie, that made him look liko Don Cajsar de Bazan. In Washington, and especially in the Supremo Court, a costume of black is do riguer. and most lawyers who arguo cases before the Supremo Justices are as careful about their attiro as a debutanto about to attend her first ball. West and South most lawyers wear black coats, when they wear any, and. in the extreme portions of each, the regulation garment is a surtout of the Father Grimes pattern, the tails of which usually strike the wearer an inch or two above the fetlocks. In this vicinity the lawyers have adopted a sort of a go-as-you-pleasc etyle of costume, and it would be difficult, in most cases, to detect an Indianapolis attorney by his dress. . Ilitteu hj ft Dog. Robert Lester, a boy living at No. 31G Miami street, was terribly bitten, yesterday afternoon, by a largo retriever dog. The little fellow was playing ball with some other boys, when it was knocked oyer the fence and he climbed over to find tit. Tho dog immediately jumped upon him, Using its teeth just below the runt knee and tearing tho flesh terribly. The iniured bov was taken to tho Dispensary, where Dr. Berwick sowed up tho wound. Caused by a Class of Beer. Norben Bohall, who stabbed William Perkinson, of this city, on Saturday night last, at Franklin, has been arrested and lodged in prison. A preliminary trial has been arranged for this morning. Perkin3on

the lady mentioned above, it is also known that on Saturday last a young lady, Miss Waldeu. arrived in the city from Green-

i s yet li vin g. but cannot survive his injuries. Several relatives of this city are in attend

ance at his bedside. The quarrel between Bohall and Perkinson originated over a glass of beer, which the latter threw over ohall because he refnsed to drink it when proffered to him. Bohall denies using a knife, but several witnesses assert that he chased Perkinson around tne room witn one in his hand. The wounded man is unable to make a statement. He was formerly employed at the Sarvin wheel-works. MIXOR CITY MATTERS. To-Day's Doings. COUNCIL-Rcgular Meeting, court-house; even-" lug. BOARD OF ALDERMEN Special meeting; Court-bouse; evening.
