MOODY'S MEETINGS.

The "Ticket Ortlor" Itcvokccl ami
tlio Doors Thrown Open ,
The morning session of the first day of
the Moody revival convention waa hold
yesterday morning In the Baptist church
voUry , corner Fifteenth and Davenport.
The room , ono of fair capacity , waa
filled to overflowing with a congregation
which was hardly composed of the Ido l
revival olomonta. It was undo up almost
entirely of staid church-going people ,
and the unconverted were very meagrely
represented. Some , too , It may bo sup
posed , wcroon hand merely to BOO the man
who canpoaoBUccoatfally as a curiosity for
thoto who have no eye or oar for his
powers aa an ovangelictl mlislonary pro *
claiming the eternal truths. The audience ,
taken ns a whole , wai an Interested ono ,
though for the reasons suggested ,
there was no great manifestation of re
ligions power.
The preliminary mooting wai opened
with prayer by Rov. A. F. Sheirill.
Her. Thomas L. Sexton , of So ward ,
gave n scripture reading , selecting part of
the first and second chapters of Acts.
Rov. E. B. Grabnm followed him in an
earnest and Interesting fifteen minutes' '
address on the nature and work of the
Holy Spirit.
Prof. Townor and wife , the sweut sing
er * who chant in anthem the gospel
truths expounded by the evangelist , then
appeared and conducted the song service ,
which filled In the Intervening time np to
11 o'clock. Several goapol HOURS were
sung by Mr. and Mrs , Townor with very
fine effect.
Rav. A. K. Bates , of the Council
Bluffs First Presbyterian , then arose and
delivered a short but tolling address on
the "Usa of the Biblo. " The speaker
showed tint the Bible is the essential In
strument of Christian work. Both thoao
who preach the gospel doctrines and
these who receive them , must bo perfect
ly familiar with the Holy Writ in order
that the best results may bo produced
Mr. Moody closed the morbiog session
In a characteristic talk. The great apostle
of living truth Is not eloquent. Ho Is
not a speaker of rhetorical finoeaa. On
the contrary ho Is above over ; thing clso
homely In his discourse. Bis ten-
toncos are rough , unpolished , ovoncruao ,
hat Irrislstlbly forcible , pithy , searching.
And on this ono point his great success
hinges.
The speaker amplified upon the subject
chosen by Mr. Bates. Ho took np the
old and now testaments and directed hta
remark R toward proving that both wore
Inspired and that one part cannot bo loft
out without damaging the effect of the
other. Ho took np the portions of scrip
ture , especially In the old toatamont ,
which there iaa tendency torejoct , such as
the story of the flood , the destruction of
Sodom , etc. , and explained that on each
ono of thcso stories tf o'.d testament lore ,
Christ had founded a specific point of
doctrine , and consequently , not without
rejecting the truth of the one , could
faith in the other bo abandoned.
In the jccond part of his discourse , Mr.
Moody nrged that the preaching of the
American pulpit must bo made moro ex-
nository , toicach alhlghor development of
effectiveness. Pastors should urge each
and every member of their congregation
to como to divine worship with blblo In
hand and follow the reading of the pastor.
The mooting then adjourned to moot
at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Owing to the fact that the Baptist
church has boon found too small for the
crowds who manifest a desire to attend
the Moody meetings it has boon determ
ined to hold the rest of the convention
in the opera house , which has been kind
ly tendered by Mr. Boyd. Accordingly ,
commencing with the afternoon Deflator
of to-day the meetings will bo hold Ir
that olaco. Everybody is Invited , and
tickets of admission are freely obtain'
able.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
A stranger passing along the street It
front ef the 1'axton house about hal :
after two o'clock yesterday afternoon ,
seeing a crowd collected and constant ! )
increasing , naked the BEE reporter 1 :
there was "a show" in town , and If there
waa to bo a luitiueo performance ia thi
opera houso. Ho was advised to go Ir
and eee. "What'a the admission ? " askoc
the stranger. Ho was told that at thai
time ho could go right In without a ticket
as the suggestion cf the BEE had beei
lieoded , and even sinners and commot
folks Ilka newspaper people could go ii
and partake freely of whatever wai
offered.
Following along with the stream o
people the reporter ontaroi the apaclou
building and watched tho' oata fill. Then
are eighteen hundred seats In the open
honso , a gentleman remarked Bitting nca
by , and room enough for perhaps tw <
hundred persons on the ttago. Withli
an hour's time every seat in parquet ant
drees circle was taken and the stagi
packed with people. To the credit o
this multitude bo it said , that the mos
perfect order and decorum provailet
throughout the somewhat remarkabli
scenes that at times were witnested.
The exercises , which consisted of sing
Ing , praying and addresses npon aom
chosen subject akin to the purpose o
these meetings , were opened by Mr
Moody , who called for the sineing of th
200th hymn. This waa clone by Mr
Towner and the persons on the stage , th
congregation generally not taking parl
The singing was not at this time effectlv
10 by any means ; it seemed to bo smothered
as it wero. Upon the conclusion o
hymn 200 , Mr. Moody cried , as he gar. .
out another hymn to bo sang , "All to
gothcr ! " and tbo proceedings went on.
The spi'it did not seem to enter th
audlouca for an hour or so , notwitlistand
ing tbo gentleman nnd hla song leade
used every effort to "warm It up. " Th
same programme of eong and prayei
and song mid silent prayer was kept n
nntil an address was delivered by Dr. R
N. McKiig upon ' 'How to make ou
prayer meetings more attractive. "
In personal appearance one ia muo
disappointed if lie expecti to find
lltcriry looking person in Mr , Moodj
Ho ia large , very fat , with heavily ic
heard , nothing intellectual in his appeal
atice nor aa to that in Ills address. HI
animil ir.t anslty which ia apparent , win
one's sjinpalhy and no one doubts hi
sincerity .f purpose. It Is fiir to sa
that throe fifths if hla hoarm attend fo
curkslty'a take , nd tbo rett perhap
from principle. His atago acting I
unique , and being singular , Is attractive
Hla manner ia familiar , and he has
habit of speaking In half wblspera , as I
he la tolling the Almighty something Ii
a tone tfrat indicates 'tla privata mat
ter , and yet A matter tha
ho does not object to the
audience hearing. All in all , ho is doubt *
'DBS n good man in purpose , and his
pparont sincerity helps him to captivate
nd hold an audience.
The music was about like moat church
nping by Urge crowds , except that the
> ader , Mr. Towns , has A fine voice , well
rained and controlled and at times aomo
f hla notes wcro boantifnl. To give
omo of the roadora of the BEE , who may
lot aeo tlieso gentlemen , a hotter Idea of
heir personal appearance , lot the report *
r say that Mr , Moody la just the Imago
if Capt. Bonnolt (9th ( U. S. Cavalry
leglmont ) who was agent for the Navajo
ndians for aomo time and now with
roops near Oklahoma , and Mr. Townor
cry much In general appearance like
Ir. J. W. Llveringhonso , of the Grand
sland Timoa.
Laat night the opera _ house waa jammed -
mod and the Impression of the throng ,
"icard by the reporter as the people pass-
d from the house , was , that It was en-
oyablo because Unusual , unique and
arnoat. What the result trill bo , of
ourso the noxl few days will develop ,
iloantlmo the doors are open and no
'ckota required.
Special Notice.

The Klusa Murder Trial District
Conrt Notes A Case ul Transgres
sion ot tha Itcvcnuo Uaws.
Betoro Judge Neville yesterday after-
loon the trial of Snsina Klusa , charged
with complicity in the murder of her
husband , John Klusa , was still on trial.
The main point of the testimony , as
irought forth by the prosecution , was
, hat Mrs. Kloea and her alleged para
mour , Frank Grabno , had boon seen to
narrol with the deceased a number of
lines , and that her conduct had not boon
that of a loving , dutiful wifo. No di-
oct ovldonca relative to the commission
) f the crime iteolf.
During the examination of witnesses ,
which Is carried on largely through inter
preter , Mrs. Klusn eita with an air of
patient , mystified resignation. She
corns , nevertheless , to comprehend in
omo measure the situation , for her fea-
, ures have gradually assumed a look of
painful anxiety which is rather touching.
She appears in court with a four-year-old
baby girl in her arms , a lavishing pict
ure of infantile beauty and cherubin in
ocence. Another child , a little boy ,
also plays about her kneci , and later on
will testify in behalf of his mother.

A QUESTION OF LICENSE.
Before Udited States Commissioner
Anderson yeeterday Ltcder t McDon
ald , propriotiri of tno saloon an the cor
ner of Fourteenth and Doughs , were
arraigned , on complaint off District
United States Attorney Anderson , for
selling liquor without having previously
obtained , In proper process , the special
United States tax of $25 in addition to
the regular tax necessary under the pro
visions of the Slocumb law. Edward
Leeder testified in his own behalf that
he , in company with McDonald , had
bought out the silconof Jacob Vlllcboi- ,
now In the insane asylum , and had sup
posed that the new fiim could ute until
the end of the fiscal year of 1885 , the
United States special license taken oul
by Yillobo's ' , Bo had been ao informed ,
ho said , by a United States rovonui
d Iliccr , William Hynes , and consequent ! 3
had not iaVen out a new license. At
torney Lambertaon showed , however
that the rjvcnuo department at Wash
ington , acting by advice of the suprcmi
court , had ruled that with a disiolutioi
of the original firm , a special license ex
plrcd , and Mesr * > . Leader & McDonalc
were bonnd over to tbo next term of thi
United States court , in the sum of $200
Both were released on their persona
recognizance.
It la quite evident that both defendants
dants have acted with honott intention
in the matter , and the penalty imposei
for the offence , doubtless , will not bi
extreme.

at $25.10 a year , subject to the usual re
appraisement at the end of five yean. I
is claimed that Rennie paid his rental , ai

cordanco with the contract , then

The board , ho claims , never made sue ]

and against his consent , declared tbi

tract with Alexander , who now claim
the title. Rennlo brings this action t
prevent the defendants from dispossess

asks that the members of tbo board be re

Thomas Ballord. the murderer of Henry

yesterday morning on A complaint sworn
out by C. A. Baldwin. Ballard waived
examination and was recommitted to jail
without ball. His casa , of course , will
bo thrown into the jurisdiction of the dia

Ballard's appearance has greatly altered
since the evening of the tragedy. Ho
seems to realize the enormity of the bur
den of guilt which rests upon him. His
air of braggadocio has vanished , and has
been replaced by a look of subdued penitence

The evidence agalnsb him is damning ,
and there is no doubt but that ho wil.

will bo made by his counsel to bring him
out on the plea of insanity , but It la very
much to bo doubted whether such a lega
ruse will be successful. Nothing of spec
