Connors corroborates this. Ho then "went to the caboose -where Crews had previously gone and told him that 'the police were alter him. According to his fctory Crews took the silver watch from tho . chain, and giving it to him, told him to get out of town us tuicK as ho could, so that he would not bo mixed np in the police busijieas.

There has been much specula tion as to how it came there, and one of the old settlers says that about fifty years ago a "tooth doctor" was in that part of the country, and his cure was to take a lock of hair and pin it up in some tree.

TEACHING FROM THE PULPIT

Political Leaders Are Told They Cannot Ignore the Wishes qf the People. ;The Christian Church 13 Progressive and Doe3 Not Rest Upon a Retention of Old Creeds The Force of Things Spiritual. To a large congregation at the Second Presbyterian Church, yesterday morning, the Rev. A. P. Bissell, D. D.,of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., preached from the text, "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a-bnilding of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." (2 Cor., 5,v i.) The preacher said it is the power and glory of tbo invisible things that are eternal. The rich variety of modern inventions has made the people familiar with many wonder ful things, yet the exactness of machinery cannot compare with the work done by hand. Hand-made, in commercial language, stands as tbe opposite of machine-made, hand-made articles are considered superior, in proportion as brain and thought have gone into them, to any manufactured through the efficiency of a machine. Hand-made things sell for a higher price than machine-made ones. . 4Costly shawls of India." continued the preacher. 'are hand-made, and into one of them has gone the busy w ork of a multitude or jiving nngers lor years, and the merchant holds it un with nride. and says. 'hand-made.1 The fashion nowadays is to make merchandise of all thin es. 1 he ma terialism of tho age has no room for things not made with the hands. There is a vast multitude of men who admit there are spir itual tlii lies, and still refuse to let them control them. These things they say aro weak, because they cannot bo seen, but they are strong, mighty and eternal. Things not made with hands however, aro more common, but their real substance is not in the matter which composes thepi. but in the mind that spirit which holds the mat ter together, tills it, shapes it, and keeps it from crumbling into dust. ihe pn'Ocher theiilllustrated the changes produced in natural productions, such as coal and diamond. This was done by. a divine and not a human touch. "A scholar." said he, "who was unwilling to admit even the existence of a Cod. had his attention attracted by a little llower called Texas Star. It had five netals. five stamens and live divisions at its base. He began to . . tbink, and knowing the. mathematical law of chances, he found 12Ttoone against there being a flower simply by chance with such arrangement as ho was then examining. But all around him were growing multi tudes of these llowers, and they had been growing there for years. Ihev could not have come by chance; they were not made by hands, 'there must be a God to account for them. The scholar kissed the little flower and said: 'Bloom on. little flower: you have a God; I have a God. Tho God that made these flowers ' me.' Tho thought that makes the sn nee of the things 'not made by ham is beyond human thought." Wisdom of Kulers. In the course of his sermon at Meridian street M. E. Church, yesterday morning, Dr. Cleveland referred to the recent elec tions as conveying a lesson that should not be disregarded. Tho Doctor's text was taken from the fifteenth verse ot the twentieth chapter of the Second Chroni cle's. 'The battle is not yours, but God's." "Jehoshanhat " tho nreacher said, "had i Hiiade political alliances that seemed to him a source of adequate strength and protection for the future of his nation, lie had no earnest care about the xighteousness and vitf Tift ff tliA noiinle In Vila Aapi'.rmtni " the Doctor continued, "he had not troubled himself about the questions of fruth and right. He did the impolitic and daugerous thing that indolent and selhsh rulers are likely to do of trusting the strength and welfare of tho nation to the management of its political leaders. hen we do that: .when, for the national ongoing and its healthy stability, we rely on politicians, on parties, on platforms aud on convenient alliances, instead of relying on the hiuhest and largest truth, and earnestness; on the deepest and widest principles, and on tbe completest righteousness, we shall probably wake up some tine morning to hnd that in the last election God has rebuked our indolence and narrowness; has rebuked our political egotism and- partisanship; has rebuked our practical atheism, and pet at naught all our party pride and vanities. If we wouldhave the truest political wisdom and prowess we must keep close to the heart of the people and give careful heed to the obscurest prophet among them. Tho wisdom of the ruler is iu tho voice of the people." At night the Doctor preached from a portion of I Timothy, iv, 7: "I have kept the faith," and in his discourse-took occasion to refer to the proposed revision of the Confession of Faith by the Presbyterian Church. "If I were seeking to buy up disciples," he said, "I would go upon the street and spread my price before the men who get their doctrines as they do their estates, by inheritance, and who have not yet examined them. There are men who hold to their creeds without knowing what they hold, nor why. When, voluntarily and at great loss and peril' to himself, a man takes up a new creed, as Paul did. and holds on to it in chain, and dungeon, and martyrdom, it is because he has examined it and found convincing argument for it. Paul gave up his old creed becauso he saw that tho new Christian trust antiquated that creed. It is no virtue in any man that he holds on to a creed that has ceased to be reasonable. 'Keeping the faith' does not mean that a man's intellectual and religious convictions are to remain the same and unmended forever. Always the true man will accept the new truth, from whatever source it comes to him, and iS it falsities any part of his old creed he will know that fact never was really true, and that tho sooner he gets rid of it the better. "If our Calvinistic brethren, who object to tho mending of their creed, fthall succeed in their opposition to the good amendments that are being urged, they will be pretty sure to find some day that by such a 'keepin g'of theircreed they have altogether taken it from the faith of man. The wavin which some men call on us to 'stand by the old land-marks' makes us feel that it ddes not matter to them that the land-marks are a thousand miles in tho rear of progress, and have become deceptive. Except wheu we use this 'land-mark' cry to mean adherence to fundamental and imperishable principles the phrase is as unreasonable and pernicious as tho cry to 'stand by the old text-books,' when the discovery of new truths has falsified and antiquated them. When tbe 'land-marks' areonly the tombstones in some ecclesiastical cemetery, they are no longer useful or interesting. Theologies and creeds aro human inventions. They must be progressive. They must be mended to the widened views and experiences of men, or living men will disown thcm. We are cou.tinually finding new truths, even in the Scriptures, and are continually taking new views of old truths. When the fashion of men's thought has changed, their creed must change. The new life must carve a new shape. Paul's religion was a much larger and richer thing w hen he dictated this epistle to Timothy than it was when he feared that after preaching to others he might himself become a castaway. We of to-day are not Puritans, and the creed wo have inherited from them does not express our thought and life. The creed is dead when tho spirit that created it has departed from it, and we can bring back its life by no dogmatic assertions, by no debate, by no incantations. Paul gTew,' his faith grew and his creed grew. Ihe treasure he was keeping when he sang that swan song in his dungeon prison was a far nobler thing than it was when he first found it on the hill above Damascus. Faith is a plant we can keep only by making it grow. The way to keep a potato is to plant it and make it grow new shapes, and become of some practical use in tho world. What we haye to fear is not the rational aud reverent mending of old creeds, but the not mending of them." At the close of the morning services thirty persons were taken into the church on probation and by letter, of whom twenty were baptized. ' Conncllinen and Aldermen. The Council will have an adjourned session to-night to complete tho transaction of business left over from last Monday night. Among other things to be taken up is the claim of AY. F. A. Bernhamer for $100,

They will take action upon Councilman Trusler's fire ordinance, and upon Councilman Htcklin'a ordinance for paving South Illinois street with asphalt, both f which passed the Council one week ago. ' LATTER-DAY SAINTS. A Mormon on Missionary Service Begins His Work with a Small Number of Hearers.

Yesterday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, a Journal reporter climbed three flights of stairs in Ryan's Block, corner of Indiana avenue and Tennessee" 6treet. to attend what was given out as a .meeting of Latter-day Saints. On the fourth floor, in, a small room, ho found eight people, and a little later two more persons came in, there being in all, including the reporter, five men and six women. A Mormon elder, who was to do the talking, came forward and introduced himself to the reporter before the exercises began as W. H. Garrett, of Greenfield, Pa. He is a plain, everyday, business-like person, and only preaches on Sunday, as he earns his' livelihood as general freight agent of the Pittsburg, Chenango & Lake Erie railroad. "Yea must not," said he, "make the mistake af confounding this sect with polygamous Mormons. We are the true followers of Joseph Smith, who never gave any- revelation whatever authorizing polygamy." Here the reporter was handed a Mormon Bible, and his attention called to the following, which appeared in the second chap ter of the Second Book of Neuhi: "David and Solomon truly had many wives and COncilbineS. Which thinir ivns nlmTninnhlM before me, saith the Lord; wherefore thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth, out of the land of Jerusalem by the power of mine arm that I might raise'up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of tbe lpins of Joseph. Wherefore I, the Lord God, will not sutler that this people shall do like unto them of old. Wherefore, my brethren, hoar me, aud harken unto tho word of the Lord, for there shall not any man among yo havo save it be one wife; and concubines he fchall havo none; fori, the Lord God, delighteth sic iu the chastity of women." Having carefully read this, the reporter, feeling his pereon to be comparatively secure, seated himself and took a look through the "Book of Mormon, translated by Joseph Smith, jr." He hastily glanced over the first and sec- . ond books of Nephi, and the books of Jacob, Enos, Moniab. Alma, Helaman, Nephi, tho son of Nephi, who was the sou of Helaman; Mormon, Esther and Moroni. These constitute the Mormon Bible. The elder explained that his sect held this Mormon bduk td bo equally inspired with thQ writings ot the Old and New Testamcutsfandthatso far as antiquity was concerned, it was as old as the Old Testament, that book having been given for tbe people of tho eastern, while the book of Mormon was for the nations of the western hemisphere. The reporter opened the Mormon Bible by chance, and found that Palestine was spoken of as "the land of Jerusalem," and thero occurred such exnressions as "Jew and gentile," and in several places the words "Jesus Christ." This seemed strange in a book of prophecy, aud showed that hindsight was better thad foresight, for the Old Testament prophecies are none of them sulliciently advanced to give the name that was bestowed upon the carpenter's son bofn in Bethlehem. The elder assented to this proposition when it . was presented to him. "The name of Mormons does not fit us," said the elder. "Tho true title is the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints. Joseph Smith declared that those who keep the laws of God need not violate the laws of the land. The church is strongly in favor of temperance; many are prohi bittouists. We have churches not onlv in this country, in England and in W ales, but in Australia and in Tahiti. Ve have a membership of 25,000, our head quarters being at Lamoni, Decatur county, Iowa, where Joseph Smith, eon of the martyred Joseph Smith, resides. He is president, and in that place there are six hundred members of the church. The .presi dency; consists of the president and two councilors. Next to that is a quorum of twelve, and thea quorums, in order, of high priests, of seventy, who are traveling ministers; six of elders, ninety in each quorum; of priests teachers and deacons." Indianapolis has a population of 125,000, and there is but one member of the Church of Latter-day Saints in the citv, and that one is a woman. Still the elder does not despair, and gives out that there is a movement on foot to seenre a course of lectures here for the purpose of enlightening the masses. : AN EVENING WITH SPIRITS. A New Medium, bat the Tests and Mr. Ralston's Suggestions Not Satisfactory. Mansur Hall was well filled last evening, when Mrs. Annie Nicholson, of Boston, a .well-preserved, "middle-aged lady in black satin, with her hair drawn up tight behind her ears, came forward to speak on spiritualism. The temperature of the room was highly suggestive of the summer land, and the other conditions were favorable. The audience, which contained representatives of both sexes in about equal numbers,. was evidently in a very receptive condition, and the speaker was backed up by quite an array of well-known local mediums, who eat upon tho platform. Mrs. Nicholson is a very fluent speaker, with considerable elocutionary ability, and discoursed volubly on her experiences with spirits. She maintained that anybody could become more or lcs of a medium by surrendering himself or herself to the influences and persevering in eflorts to establish communication with the spirit land. She herself had spent near'iy six months in a little room before getting a single rap. After that tbero seemed to bo no difliculty about it. Sometimes now she was occasionally perplexed for an instant, but a siugle "Ugh," from the venerable Indian spirit which acted as her guide, philosopher and friend, settled tbe difficulty and she was enabled to proceed nnobstructedly. She had given sittings which enabled clients to make as much as $75,0 K) on a siugle deal, and as for materializations sbo had been visited by life-size spirits clad in the habiliments of tbe flesh who held her hands and talked cheerfully with her until, as she pressed the tops of their heads, they gradually sank through a solid floor anddisappearedfrom view. JShe advised herhearcrs to study the spirits carefully. Some of them were as uncertain as a trick-mule, aud unless they were carefully watched would land those who tried to use them in the sawdust of disappointment; but if ono is cautious in selections he should be able to secure from among them wise counselors and judicious friends. At several points throughout her address she indicated that she was able for a consideration to command the services of reliable and wrell-con-ducted spirits for those who needed their services, and, in conclusion, stated that she had some books on pshychic culture for sale which would be useful and protitablo to purchasers. At the conclusion of Mrs. Nicholson's address, Mr. Kulston announced that the balance of tho evening would bo given to "tests," and people in the audience were invited to bring up articles which might furnish inspiration and Rccuro messages throuch the medium. Quite a number accepted the invitation and brought various articles, varying from a linger ring to a gold watch and chain, which were handed to Mrs. Nicholson, and elicited messages purporting to come from another world, but none of them appeared to proe entiioly satisfactory. In tbe caso of one man whose correspondent proved entirely unrecognizable, the difficulty was explained on the ground that tbe watch aud chain lie had bouirht were badly mismated, the watch being a "Winderburv," with an interminable cylinder escapemeut, and the chain belonging to a much hieher order of accoutrement. While this was going on, other mediums were dispatched about the room who carried alleged spirit-messages of greater or less importance to various persons in the audience. One of these purveyors of intelligence, who snorted violently whenver a person to whom a message was directed was reached, bore a statement to the reporter that "Johnny" was hovering near, and that a letter of considerable importance would be received next week, leaving tbe inference that John waa either a good deal further off than was represented, ur was bulferiug from def ectivo
