contained many more tlum Its usual

pied heals on the north sidu of tin } gal
lery. A number of venUirosomo boys
even located themselves upon tlio crossbeams -
beams which supportud the speaker' * )
platform. Uuv. T. M. House , pastor of
the First M. E. church , presided. After
u number of selections hud been rendered
by thu choir and congregation llov
Clnndonnlng ollercd a prayer. Mr.
Maxwell mude an announcement that he
could not comply with the request that
liad been muilu lo rcf-orvo seats in the

the meetings. Chairs for 140
persons had boon placed upon the plat-

'nil who are willing to help out in the
Hinging should occupy them.

Mr. Maxwell said that $5.000 had been
collected during Mr. Jonc.V meeting in
Torouto and he hoped Omaha would do
: IH woll. The eollectlon on Tnct > duy
night amounted to $10 when It should
have been $140. lie honed the visitors
would be liberal. The collection was
then taken up , although the clink of the
dollars m the contribution box in no
wise disturbed the mcotjng. After the
collection Mr. K\cell , of Chicago , ren
dered the solo , "The Handwriting on the
Wall" with lino.efleet.

After Mr. Kxcell's song , the evangelist
Mopped to the front of the platform and
asked that thu ushers should close the
doors so that the meeting
hliould not bo di.sturlied by
people coming in late. A voice from the
rear of the house replied I hat the key
was in the possession of the janitor who
could not be found. The doors were
Hosed , however , and in addition to keep
ing late comers outside also kept thu
audience from running out and in dur
ing the service , thus adding materially to
the good order of the meeting.

After reading a few verses from the
general cpi.itle of I'eter and making a
few introductory remarks , Mr. Jones
.said :
Now let us go into this service
to got good out of it. I suppose you
have your curiosity gratilied , satisfied.
1 suppose that this congregation by this
time has reached the point where you
may be interested in something else be-

and i had much rather on my part that
we would enter seriously into all this ser
vice , bul if 1 had come here with the
fioliiinn gospel , God blebs yon , I wouldn't
have hud : i hundred out , but I have simply
been punpcring to your wishes to get you
out. A man has lo be culled a biiltbon
now to ' get ueoplo out to
hoar preaching. Hero is my friend
Itcv. House , u belter preacher than I am ,
if 1 was to announce that ho would preach
to-morrow night how many of you would
; omo out to hear him , say ? After all , wo
must meet this fact that the first thing to
do with people is to get them out. What
is the use to preach to a lot of people
\vhcn they are sit home sleeping or down
on the street drinking whisky ? How can
: i preacher bo heard when the people art )
not there to hear him ? 1 am ready to do
nnything that is not wrong in itself to
get people to come to church , to get people
ple to hour the gospel. There is nothing
that L wouldn't rorfort , to , except tlrnt which
is sinful in itself. Get ready to hear the
gospel and be benelitted by the gospel.
And besides this , giving all duo diligence

when God said let there bu light and
there was light this world enjoyed its

not know what it was but finally a

in thu lesson buforu us to-night wo may

and paralyzing our power to-day. Let
me give an illustration of what ! mean
by praclical infidelity. There is H
Methodist. Ho believes everything , and
lives just as if ho didn't believe anything.
There is the llnptist. He says he believes
the liibio is the word of God , and yet he
won't do anything he say * . This nine
teenth century is running on belief.
Kvery fellow believes it all and coes on
the principle that he that bcllcvetli not is
damned , and ho believes everything
thinking that he will be damned if he
don't , [ Laughter. ] Hellevlng everything
and doing nothing. There is n man who
believe in family prayers but don't have
family prayers at Ins house. IIu
believes in missionary movements
and supporting missions , but he
will get oil'on the least uent he can ,
A man who says he believes onu tiling
and does another is n fraud in the church
and out of the church ; he is that in the
very nature of the ease. Now , brethren ,
have you lived up to what you say yon
believe ? and I say it to-night that

and ho did another. I would rather ho
an Ingcrsoll , blaspheming the Bible and
duspisiiip the liiblu than to be a Method
ist who eulogized the Hiblo and yet not
live by its precents. The fact of the bus
iness is I have a great deal of .sympathy
for those little fellows running after in-
gersoll , and 1 never yet had a harsh word
to say lo one of them. 1 don't believe
that , if a man has no more seiif-e than to
run after lugor.soll , he hits not enough
sense to be accountable to God in the
last day and 1 believe all that
.sort will get to heaven in thu last
day Jf they honestly run after
that sort. Faith the great foundation
bed rock put down for building this
Christian superstructure. Now what
rock will fir. right down on that without
the sound of a hammer. No > v listen. 'Add
unto your faith virtue.1 If there ever
was need for bone am ! muscle and mus-
cnlino courage it is now. Hut many of
us show forth to the world a Christianity
that cowers and winces and whines in thu
presence of pnulic opinion. But if there
is anything tliut the church of this
Nineteenth century needs above
others it is thu spirit of cour
age , the courage that dares to do
right and dares lobe true. There are two
very distinct kinds of courage , the one is
what wo cull physical courage , we see
that developed most to perfection in tlio
bull dog. That is tlio finest specimen
of physical courage the world over saw.
And 1 never saw a bully that could

T never heard one cursing on the streets ,
but what 1 thought , "if yon will wait a

little black short-noso'i ' bull pups and
say , "your little brother is gamer than
you are. 1 can hold him up by onu car
and he won't whmc , but if I would hold
you by both cars you would whine
all over. " Courage. Courage. That
is what we want , and [ will tell you if
you will give the church of God on this
earth a courage tliut dares to do right
and dares to stand up by the right wo will
have a heap better time in this country.
You need one thing in Omaha more than
any other and that is courage on the side
ot the ten commandments. I repeat
what i have said before the greatest
blessing God ever gave to mankind is the
pastor that is not afraid to mention the
Jiible ; that will dare to stand up for the
richt and denounce the wrong. I will
tell you another thing. The devil has
this world bv the right of conquest , thutis
the only right ho has down hero is the
right of conquest. And 1 will tell .yon
another thing. Tito devil is never lo going
to .surrender an inch of his territory
until that ground is covered with blood ,

the history of this town. I understand
there was one man in this town that
wont up and bearded the lion in his den ;
you know the result. God givu us
preachers that will turn their guns upon
thu devil and iiis influence every time
they get a chance. Voice. ' "Amen. " Iwill
tell you another thing. When you run up
against some evil inllucncc , you may run
up against your collln and you may run
up against yourself , but is life so dear
and peace so sweet that we must , lay
down and sutler the wives and children
of this country to bo debauched and
damned by the terrible influence ot tins
country. I would rather be in my collin
and in my grave than to submit cowardly
and nusillaniinously to the evil iutluonco
which makes inroad on my homo and
every home of this land. What if Itcv.

itight is right , and I will Maud up to it ,
ami I don't ask you to let mo stay in this
world a single day longer than a man
can stand up and preach the truth.
When that day conies that a man cannot
speak the honest bentinient of Ins heart ,
then I don't court to stay horu in this
world any longer. 1 know when you set
in motion the wheel of reformation yon
will raise a row. The devil and all his
minions will turn loose upon you. They
will do anything and say anything in
God's world. I remember just a few
months ago in my own town they com-
nienccd helling their Honor llicr"

I blood up there before an audience In

there was dynamite put under my buggy

Mental Fancies.
Two months ago Mike Parrcll , otto of
( ho most capable and best known of the
Union Paeilio passenger engineers , was
compelled to give up his run on account
of the falling of his mental powers from
the effects of the attack of sunstroke re
ceived while working in his overheated
cab in the west Nebraska division in the
midsummer , Contrary to the hopes and
expectations of his friends the lay off
fulled lo bring a restoration to health of
body and mind , but was followed by such
a failng in both that it was found neces
sary to confine the patient in the
Insane asylum. Hero he was kept for
a month or moro and released
as incurably and harmlessly insane.
Alike has been at home for a couple of
weeks and spends his time in aimless
wandering about thu streets making in
quiries of all the railroad men ho meets
as to what time his cnginu will go out.
He imagines that every thing ho sues mov
ing on whet-Is is an engine and never
fails to question the drivers of wagons
nnd si reel cars ho meets as to what sec
tion they belong or some similar train
man's oucry. Mike was up on Saunders
street tne other day when his path was
crossed by a funeral procession. The
black hearse .immediately assumed the
form of an engine to his vision and he
hailed the driver with the query "What
section do you belong lo ? " The solemn
visaged John drew up his team when
Mike H eye cuughtsiglit of the "silent paa-
songer'1 inside the hearse. Instantly ho
turned upon the driver with an oath and
the demand : ' 'What are you doing with
that box in the cab. Don't you know
that it belongs on the platform in frsut of
thu express car ? HustlO out and move it
back there. "
Uy this time the astonished driver
grasped tne situation and drove on , as
MiKo's attention was attracted to another
engine that wus : coming from another di
rection. This was a coal wajion , the
driver of which was "Skinny" Ivroiger ,
who at ono time lired for Farrcll. on thu
west end run. Alike recognized his old
side partner , and climbed onto the seat
and slapped Krcigcr on the shoulder with
the remarK :
Well , Skinny , we're on together again ,
ain't wo ? "
Humoring the strange fancy of his
demented friend , Kreigur commenced
talking about his engine. On the way
down town they .met . a street car which
Karreli stopped aud demanded that the
driver show his orders giving him the
right to tile lino. Satisfied on this point
ho cursed the 'driver for having a red
liirht out when there was no .eoction fol
lowing him. In this strain ho continued ,
urging Kreiger to "pound her along" if
he expected to make the end of the run
by il o'clock. When they reached the
police station Fu'rrell refused to leave the
"engine , " saying that would just ride
down to the round honso and watch
Kreiger "clean1 her up- " lie was finally
persuaded to rtjlb clown in the "coach1'
and took a seut'ih-the ' patrol wagon and
was taken to his home. Poor Mike is
making his lastruu.

There seems to be no doubt among
railroad men that thu accident at North
Bend on the Union Paeilio on yesterday
morning , which occasioned a great de
struction of property , was occasioned by
thu curelussn i of the engineer , and
possibly the conductor of train No. 17.
It is now known that thu Irnin in ques
tion passed NojIjTi Beud seventeen min
uted ahead of' iimo , without knowing
where he was to ineul train No. ! J3which , ,
according to fteljodule , ho knew should
bu somewhere In the vicinity. With trains
running on scllellulu station agents huvo
nothing to di ( , find as a consequence ,
when I ? raslwlipaM. North Bend without
stopping , tint''only ' thing left for the
operator thereVis to telegraph her pas
sage , but noth.nir eould bo tiono after she
hud passed to kcpp , her out of the way of
No. 'J2 , which wjit clearly on her righH.
A railroad oilicjal said yesterday : "It is
to bo regretted thai we have no law
to hold trainmen responsible for destruc
tion of life and properly , the AUDIO as
limy tire held In other occupations in tint
cily , for example , when through willful-
no.ss or negligence , loss of life , limb or
property is oceaMsned. TheSarpy county
people are endeavoring to hold Itolton
responsible for his wreck out there , but
Iho Union Paeilio has no recourse with
Perkins , thu engineer , aud La us , thu con
ductor , both of whom am perhaps responsible -
sponsiblo for Ihu loss of property , except
to discharge them , It is a fortunate oc
currence that it was only properly and
not lifo that was destroyed.1

seems that on the night of tlio 37th lust. ,
Air. Winspenr was unjustly treated as is

Next morning , Anderson engaged In
