UishopArnett Delivers the Sermon and -Conducts the Services Which Ordains Several Deacons and JElders.

"TWO O'CLOCK IN NEGRO'S MORNING"

THE PRELATE DECLARES THE DAY IS DAWNING FOR THE RACE.

liev. H. B. Parks, Head of the Missionary movement. Preaches la the Evening —At Other Churches

The' Most intelligent and refined audience

of colored people ever assembled in the city

of Terre Haute was present Sunday morn­

ing at Allen Chapel, A. !M.. E. Church,

Third and Crawford streets, to hear one of

the. leading pulpit orators of the negro race

in this country," Bishop Benjamin W. Arnett, D. D., of Wilberforce, 0., presiding bishop over the Fourth Episcopal district of the A. M. E. Church, comprising Illinois, Michigan Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota and

Wisconsin. It was announced that the bishop would preach the ordination sermon at 10:30 o'clock and as early as J) o'clock the members of that distinctive race variety could be seen wending their way to the church, and at J):30 every available seat wa^ occupied, and at 10- o'clock it was impossible to obtain standing room. While Mrs. Charlotte. Miller played an organ prelude the candidates fof orders -in single file marched into the church and occupied the front seat that had been reserved by them. They were under the escort of the chairman of the committee on examination,'who presented them to the bishop for ordination after the sermonmon.

After they were seated the choir sang a selection, and the Rev. M. W. Thornton of Jackson, Mich., a transfer, to this conference, lined* the opening hymn. Dr. H. B. Parks read scripture lesson ami the Rev.

Dr. C. T. Shaffer 01 Philadelphia, Pa., eccretary and treasurer of the church extension department, made the opening prayer. Another selection was rendered by the choir, and all eyes were turned on the most scholarly prelate of the negro race, as he arose and announced his text from the question asked in Isa. 21:11-12.'

Bishop Arnett has given most of his life in the cause, and' has filled the pulpits of some of the largest white churches in America, and is the recognized leader of his race. He was a soldier in the war of the rebellion, and says that he is a "soldier in the Army of the Lord Jesus Christ" working to save souls and the salvation of his people. He said: "Watchman what of the night? will be the introductory for our discourse and we shall try to answer the question as well as the limited time will allow us. "'All mankind is a dependent being. Alf men are interdependent. There is interdependence between man and man, between family and family, btween race and race, and interdependence between nations and nations, between God and man and between man and society. All our societies are organized on the theory that we are interdependent creatures. Families are themselves organized and governments are organized on, the principle that are our brother'e keeper. "This question has been asked for more than forty-five centuries—-yes,' more than fifty-five centuries, 'Am I my brothers' keeper?' For more than fifty-five centuries human mind has been trying to solve that question, first in the social circle, second in the political circle and third in the religious world. You .will find that is the basis o£ our civilized government, of our municipal government, our county (government, our state government, our national government. Our national and international laws all beat' out that we are our brother's keeper to the extent of our ability and our opportunities. Life and personal property and reputation ail belong to us in the care for each other. Every individual is dependent upon some one. We enter in the world almost dependent on all the kingdoms in life. In the great temple of biology there is nothing more dependent than man as be enters the world. He enters not into the world without help and the first knowledge of his appearance In the world is his cry and then begins a struggle. The dQg, the chicken, the worm, the beast, all creeping things, and walking animals, flying birds, and swimming fish all enter upon the stage of activity without any. assistance. Instinct becomes their teacher. But. man enters this worl'd helpless, his mother cares for him, his mother carries him. his mother feeds iiim, his mother instructs him, and he does not know how to eat, what to eat, and inhere to go and what to do. He must receive instructions and he receives these

Irom his mother. Every race enters the Rorkl in this helpless condition. Did you ever think how long it takes to make a man? If. takes twenty-one years to Bake a legal man, and as he develops we must watch his foot steps. Did you ever see Ihe mother watch her baby's foot steps, as ihe teaehes it how to walk and how to talk? Did you ever see a mother taking hold of kef child and bringing out the power of the soul, and when the baby smiles in her face for the first time she hastened to her dusbanil when he returns home and exclaims, 'P^pa, baby has smiled today?' "Time will not permit me to take up a full discussion on this question, but you can see the invrdependence of man you see it in the family, you will see it in your city by the watchman on the street, the.governor of the state, by the president of the United States, by your foreign ministers who visit other courts of the earth. These are evidences of our interdependence of each other."

The bishop compared the organization of the government and its officers with the church of God. He said that the city government had three classes of watchmen, icd classed them as the private, ttye day and oight watchmen. He said that It was the business of the private watchmen to care for the private property of individuals, the sight watchman was to care and look out during the night and the (lay watchman was t». go and to preserve peace and protect the property of the commonwealth and people. The county was in the bands of a gheriff, who was to protect the power and dignity of the county and governors, was lo look after the personal power and dignity Bf the state. He said that the president was. to look after the nation. "You are to te the watchmen of God," he said, "you are to be messenger, you are to be the representative of God on earth and your fellow tnen. For this reason the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ was established."

He referred to hi6 boyhood days and the )ond recollections of the watchman in "Old Pennsylvania." That individual, he said, would go to each corner and knock In order to let the people know that the watchman was nigh. "Those who were in the house," fce continued. "felt perfectly safe :n going 1* slccj:, the^ knew the watchman was v. *.*• jr

•Tsasas.

arouDd to protect them from danger. In 1854, In tb£ city o£ Pittsburg, the watchman after 9 o'clock, the time that everybody should be in bed, and about 10 o'clock he wouM knock on the pavements and say, 'I am here, 10. o'clock.' In this everybody knew the watcfunan was around and also knew the hour oT the night." The speaker said that th? Watchman was required to do this every hour after thai, until the break of -morning and then he would indicate the weather, so that the' people could know whether itwas ctoudy, star light or snow, or rain. "I can remember," he said, "of reading in history that during the close of the revolutionary war, when the news came to Philadelphia that CDrn.walJis had surrendered, as the watchman passed through the street* he cried out, "One o'clock and Cornwallis has surrendered.' In this he not only told the hour, but imparted important news. "You will remember? that in olden times all the cities were walled in, and there was a gate entrance, which was closed after 6 o'clock and no one was allowed t,o enter. But you know that since God placed His watchman upon the wall, since he proclaimed the law of love and the power of Christ, since tben there has not been a single city built with walls. Show me a city that has been built in 2,000 years with a city around its show me a wall that has been kept around it since his son came. No, the walls have crumbled and the gates have been taken oft the hinges and the watchmen have come down and he called in the place of these watchmen men of God and have placed them in the pulpit to proclaim his word. It is your duty to go-forth and teach his word as watchman on the wall of Zion."

The bishop spoke of the ancient towers and desired to divide his sermon into four towers. He said: "Let us take a glance into the tower of historical Christianity. Let us look and bring the four witnesses, the teacher of men, observation, history and. experience. Now what does history say about Christianity? What does tradition say about Christianity? What does observation say? Whab does your experience say about the superiority of Christ? "Now I bring history up and ask her tounfold her pages. I stand upon a tower looking back upon a century. I take up tho telescope and I see way back where the foundation of these principles are the basis of our civilization.' We belieVe in the true God, and the living God, and a God of the infinite wisdom."

The learned prelate took occasion to refer to the founder of the African M. E. Church. Richard Allen, attd spoke of the sainted bishops who follew him, and who are now sleeping in their grave, and commended their life and character as an example for the young men who were to take on the orders of elders and deacons. He said: "Let us see the doctrine taught by :the living God, taught by Martin Luther and proclaimed by Charles Wesley, and the banner lifted up by Richard Allen. 1 can see him coming to join them. I look and I see Bishop Brown joining them and then comes Bishop Quinn. I can see Quinfi as he comes along the historical Christianity he crosses the water at Baltimore, and on down to Richmond, and on to Indianapolis, and on to Terre Haute, and lifts up the banner of Christianity when exclaimed, 'I come to seek my brother,' thus he placed the standard of Christianity on th'e'^bd.nks of the Wabash river. I don't have to go to Jerusalem to find a witness j»f historical Christianity. "Now let us cqm® to the tower of education, and see what Will be Required of you in.that. You are.to study nature, in all its departments, you are to study nature in the springtifne, study foe. bfrauty of nature, sttidy. nature in the slimmer, ^study nature in the fall, study nature in the cold winter and learn the lessons of Job of old. "Study the mineral kingdom, study the family kingdom arid the vegetable kingdom study it and-a.pply it with Christ. Study geology, study the bible, study astronomy Now let'.us .go out and study nature and come back and sttidy the beatitudes." At this time he spoke to the congregation of faith, and showed the work 0^, Jacob and his son and his abidiug faith in God. Jacob's faith was showed in that he Offered his son at the altar as a sacrifice, .He spoke of the number of people who "vvouid assemble on every Sunday and listened to the word of God

v.

"Young men, study' the vtofk'of God," he admonished, the candidates for orders, and turning to the congregation said: "Let us go up and see how God has led our race how ho led your father and mine in the days of their.bondage? They cried unto the Lord and he heard .their .prayers. He spoke of how the hand of God and the liands of the loyal men of this country,had opened the door of freedom to the negroes of America, and also dopr of the school room, and he wanted it kept open. 1 have this faith," he said, "the hand that opened the door wall keep "It, open. May God help to study and do .the work of which you may not be ashamed'. Study so as to present it ito your congregation, believe that doctrine of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is to make them better citizens dn earth. "Hefj .them to learn how to obey the human law, show them hoVv fo obey the teachings of che highest morality, and.it is easy for. the Lord Jesus Christ to lead the army against sin. "I can say to you that it now 2 o'clock in the morning of the civilization and education of the negro .race, and I can see the star rising in the .East leading him on to the highest citizenship and education."

The speaker then cited to the life of Christ and said thai he was recognized as the moral and religious, teacher of the pineteenth century, and said the Educational institutions of our land were due to his coming.. "Every state receives .from the national government $25,000 per anhu'm for the education of the boys in educational pursuits, and this must be divided between the races or the state will not T€ceiv& it. What a wonderful change! Every state that has a school of agriculture in.it must make provisions for our sons and daughters. It is a wonderful thing to ttiink while you and 1 are sitting here, more than 1,400.000 of pur children are hunting up their books to start in the possession tomorrow morning, 26,000 of our sons and daughters have their certificates in their bands and they will go to the school houses to teach our children: 'Watchman, what of the night?' The morning has come when the race can teach itself and the race can find its own leaders, its own preachers, ils own mechanics, and they can furnish all things that they need, and they have become independent as far as God has allowed it. As long as we are dependent upon oihers, we will continue to fcel Go in your congregation and teach the mother that it is her duty to hiv'e tie child edticafed. Teach the mother ithat it is better to" have the child go tb school vVitho'ut shoes ajfiftwf trained, thah t'6 stay at home and have the shoes without •the trahvihg.

That's piLrt of religion.'Don't you know that a man that is trying to-get a mansion up there ought to. have.a home„,do\vyi. jaelow." 'v« .i~

The bishop spoke then of the coming of Christ and its significance upon civilization. He said that everybody was forced to acknowledge the coming of Christ. "Now," he said, "you go out and purchase a piece of property, and if your deed fails to acknowledge the name of our Lord and his coming it is void." He said that even Bob Ingersoll, an infidel though he claimed to be, never wrote a letter .without acknowledging the natne of the Lord. "Why, they can't even put. .you in Jail unless the7 put His name on the paper, and if they should you can get out on habeas corpus, because it was illegally done. Then, -too, every court house is provided with a bible.

While the bishop was preaching to the young men who were to be ordained and a large congregation of his people which was mixed with a number of whites, among them being Mayor Ross, he took occasion to refer to the oppression of his people and how labor was organized against them, to keep them from, earning an. honest living. "The miners are talking about the depression of the miners by capitalists, yet they are depressing us. The«capitalists will allow them to work, for 29 cents a bushel, and they will not let lis worts for 1 cent a bushel. The miners are talking about tneir liberties-, and they are tramping on ours."

In concluding his remarks the bishop addressed the candidates as foltows: "May God bless you, young men. We are going Co commit to you the honor of our church, with its good name of more than four score years of prayer and suffering. We are going to entrust, to..you more than a half million children.,We are going, to entrust to you the. futureJfiag, that was lifted by Allen and was taken through'the West by Quinn and planted on the banks of the 'Mississippi river. We give you that banner today when we give you this bible. May God help you to hold on to this as an anchor of faith and joy, and may you become a zealous worker for the race. Young man, resolve this day that your life shall be given to Jesus."

After the i&rtaon '& c&llection was' lifted and the ordination services followed, by Bishop Araett. Thomas White was ordained deaxon. The most impressive ceremony was the ordination of B. W. Arnett, Jr., W. H., Taylor, W: A. Harditnan, Wm. Kelly and iL E. Christy to the elders of the church. They are young men,, brilliant from an intellectual standpoint, and are destined to bring credit to the church and race they are ta tepi-esent. They have now reached the highest orders in the gift of th£ bishdp or annual conference, It now remains for them to remain useful,. become powers in the church, and some day they may be elected to the highest office in the church—that of bishop. B, W. Arnett, Jr., is a graduate from, Wilberforce, and .possesses many., of the sterling qualities of his father. His ability may yet be recognized. He is now in a position to become a useful man.

There is Great Excitement at Ocean Springs, Miss.

Ocean Springs, Miss., Sept. 5,—This has been a day of anxious expectancy as to whether or not yellow fever exists here, and the question has not yet been determined. The members of the Louisiana state board of health have been hird at work all day long, working in conjunction with the representatives of the Alabama board- and the Mississippi organization in a dtermined effort to settle the veked question as to the idehtity of the pernicious fever, which has operated so greatly to the disadvantage, of Ocean Springs. Their investigations were extensive as the visiting medicals visited a large number of persdns now down with the fever.

KANSAS CORN CROP.

Dry, Hot Winds.'of Past Week Have Seriously Damaged the Crop.

Topeka, Kan., Sept." 5.—An official estimate of the corn crop of Kansas was issjjed today by the board of agriculture in the form of a compilation of*estimates by farmers throughout the state. The average yield is placed at twenty bushels, per acre and the total crop 165,677,2S0 bushels, against 221,000,t)00 bushels last year, and 201,000,000 in 1895. The dry hot winrs of the past week have caused serious damage to the crop the average condition during the week falling from 60 per cent to 55 per cent. Thp reports as a whole indicate that the crop is poor, not only as to yield, but as to weight and quality. Though the crop is disappointing, Jt is a noteworthy fact that the state has raised but seven bigger corn crops. This is accounted,, for in the fact that the acreage, which is 8,283.900, is the greatest in the history of the state.

Improvements at the Jail,

The work of painting and repairing the various tiers of cells in the north adjunct 'to the county jail is almost completed. A wash house for boilers is befng erected in the court and other sanitary fixtures added.

Whenever a, "crumby" prisoner enters the "jail after this," before being placed'on the rock pile, he will be cleaned up and his clothes fumigated and cleansed. Not more trouble is being bad with refractory prisoners and the bums afraid of water and rock hammers are giving the institution a wide berth.

a S' 4C •'. *j- VAppointed By JatfgB Bitty in Chamber

SMoo Seiterd* —lierare Charge# JU*de Against Treasurer Charles*

th^ T«?T& Uante So6p and Chemical Works hAya txkea matters in haad concerning the plant with a vim. Yesterday they filed a petition with Judge Henry asking for he appaj&jtoent of a-recei»er for the eoncern. The complaint wad entered with the follow-1 ing names as parties to tie suit: •'State of Indiana in relation of Delos IV. Mhishall, Robert Geddes and Christian A.- Hansing, vs the Terre Haute Soaj and Chemical Works.'". *i*r

Judge Henry therefore called the matter up in private session, and, after a consideration of the matter, appointed Mr. John F. Lawson receiver for the plant, ordering him -to take charge Immediately. This' bond was fixed at $15,000, and Mr. Lawson qualified at once, with Robert Geddes and C. A. Hansing as sureties.

It will be remembered that the managers of the concern last week placed the plant in the hands of Attorney Frank Carmack, who was to run the concern for six mpnths, applying all profits on the liabilities.. T]tUs was the result, it was given out, of an agreement between. the stookholders and the creditors. Preferred creditors were secured by chattel and real esttate mortgages to the extend of $9,849.49 claims. The mortgages were duly filed and the public supposed it had heard the last of the affair for someJJme. .•

But sijch was not to be the case. The president, secretary and treasurer of tho company did not live up to the orders of the board of directors, according to the complaint set forth in the petition for a receiver. The president is John L. Charles, the secretary John Sehank and the treasurer Willis W. Charles. The first mentioned and second are residents of Evansville, and the treasurer came from that place to take charge. A few days since hfe also Returned to Evansville and took several things with him^t is said, which the stockholders would like to have themselvefc.

The petition states that at a meeting of the board of directors of the plant, the officers were ordered to take steps at once to have a receiver appointed for the concern. Instead of obeying instructions, they did as has been stated, appointed Mr. Carmack by agreement to take charge of the affairs and secured the preferred claims by'mortgages. As a result of this and other things which soon came to light, the directors petitioned for a .receiver. Mr.'ttarhiack was present at the session when the receiver was appointed and concurred in ,all'tljat was done. The decision of the court Was that the company was either insolvent or in imminent danger of becoming so. The directors are D. W. Minshali, Elisha Havens and C. A. Hansing.

But the charges which the stockholders make against. Treasurer Charles makes lip the sensational part of the plant's history. It' has already been said that he left for Evansville a day or two ago. It is alleged that the Officers, and he in particular, committed Several deeds offensive to their trust. The charge is that ttofey shipped goo.ds, collected debts and did other things after the meeting of the board in violation of the order of that body. The document further sets forth the fact that Willis Charles, the departed treasurer, who was here in sole charge, caused the parties or firms owing the company to remit'drafts and checks payable to himself personally, which he has appropriated, and that he shipped goorla made in the plant to Chicago, and sold them for his private bank account' Also that since his departure for Evansville his mail, pursuant to his:order, has been sent down toim, thus cutting the corporation out of assets!'"' And that before he "flew his kite" he took the personal property of the office and retained it or sold it for his own benefit.'

And this is not all. The' further charge is that Mr. Willis W. Charles checked oi.it ?355.33 from the company's account at. "the First .National Bank of this city! which he put to his own use, and that' he has never replaced it. He also .gave a checlt to the Elebtrd Gas Co. in the same manner for $37.'50! -His bank book, showing the account of the comiiany, when turned over,to Attorney"'Carmack showed to the credit of the concern —, when really there was but $2.04 on the bOoteJ of the bank on their sid^ Of the balance sheet.

Ttol*1 small, residue of a. respectable bank balahcfc'Was not nearly enough to pay off the laborers and workmen for their wages. The directors further stated that they knew of $1,200 unsecured .which the plant yet owed, and'it'"is probable there ie no more to be heard ftkun. They considered this condition of affairs woul 1 only become worse and decided to ask. .'or a receiver.

FOCUSED ON INDIA.

Initial Steps Towards Establishing a Gold Standard are Being Considered.

London, Sept. 5.—Interest in the money market during the past week, has been focus&ed oh India, on accoun of the action of the India council in suspending the rate of bills of exchange and offering to buy bills." It is possible that India will ask for a gold loan and that exports of gold to that country will follow, and gold may be used at the rate of Is 4d per rupee to obtain silver currency in India. It is conceded that this would be a step toward the establishment of a gold standard. The uncertainty existing regarding the amount of exports to the United States and Japan rendered the market sensitive. Three month bank bills were steady at 1 15-1# to 2, call loans at and notice loans 1%. The Bup£ly of money is ample. The silver market was unsettled during the week. Bar silver fell to 23?id per ounce, but later rallied to 24%d.

Grim, the Prize Fighter. Hera "Kid" Grim, the Indianapolis pugilist, was, in the city" yesterday and he came to open negotiations for a match with any pug of the middleweight Class in the city for state. Grim says he is in trim to fight any time and will meet any pugilist weighing from 158 to 165 pounds at The Express office this evening at 8 o'clock. Grim has not had a niatch for some timtf and he is anxious to take on some good man fcra go. He prefers to haVe the match take place during the-coming race meeting.
