It seems that these two men were making preparations to '"work" one of the wealthy citizsns near Stamford in that state, and when one of them died suddenly, his body was taken in charge by his friends, and the public is left in doubt, as to which one is dead. It may be possible that John Stipp's whilom friend is yet in the land of living. Yesterday morning a serious lire was averted at the Hotel Gentry only by the prompt work of John Dressel of the Arcade saloon, and Roy Rush. In the rear and near the hotel is a Ir rge fence around which was piled several barrels and dish crates lilled with straw.

Mr. Dressel discovered the fire in his "backyard" just in time to "holler down the rain barrel" for more water. It took the combined efforts of Messrs. Dressel and Rush, assisted by three barrels of water, to subdue the (lames, and now the hotel management have posted the following notice: "You kids can't play in our back yard, for we don't like you any more."

T. .1, Clark Yexterduy Morn lug. The Kirkwood Avenue Christian church was crowded yesterday morning to hear the Memorial sermon by Rev. T. J. Clark. i The G. A. R. and the Sons of Veterans attended ru a body. Rev. Clark selected as his texts, Hosea, VIII, 7; X, 12; V, 13. In begin ning his address he said: "There are two courses open to the preacher on an occasion of this kind. (1.) To pend the allotted time in recounting the deeds of the past and (2) The worship of God. Now if we put these two facts together, it would suggest some relation between the God who is worshipped and our Nation and our soldier-dead. What means! these graves? It was the price the Nation had to pay for the indulgence of a great national wrong." The speaker ably discussed the question of slavery, and showed that when Nations err they will finally come to judgment. He referred to the great wealth of the few, and their relation to labor troubles, and pointed this out as one of the unfortunate conditions of the present. The money question was referred to as another thing that required the best thought of the country to settle. The gambling and drinking evils are questions yet to be successfully dealt with. "I want to speak a few words to my comrades," said Rev. Clark. "I had heard words ef praise spoken of our country on account of its magnificent provision, made for the old soldiers who were left without homes." Here he gave j a description of the Soldiers' Home J at Dayton, Ohio, and how sad he felt when he saw so many of the veterans under the influence of drink purchased at saloons licensed by the Government that these same men fought to save.
