Benson is the naino by which n .young man now in duress ut the county Jail is known. Benson Is held ou n serious ohargo.

The case was heard before the grand Jury , nnd that uugust body , nfter duly Inves tigating and considering it , couched their otiininlon in the form of un indictment for the heinous crime of seduction , A bench warrant was Issued and placed In the hiimis of the sheriff , who found Benson Into on Saturdav ovonlng at a duuco in "Mud Hollow. " near the northeastern limits of tlio city. Ho was on tlio llonr , apparently en Jo.ving the festivities to tlio fullest extent , when the sheriff stepped in ami told him that ho was wanted.

Shortly before 10 o'clock lust ovcnlntt nn ntnrin of tire was turned in from box 23 , ear ner of Hroailwuy anil Hryanl stronts. The department responded , but found that the fire was on South Main street , in the build ing known ns the "Hod Front , " at the head of First avenue , owned by Henry Wagner. The llromon got out In goo.1 shipo , hut were very slow In reaching the scjno of the fire owing to thn fnot that the alarm called them to n box several blocks from the proper place , nm1m , thn wrong direction The No. 1 hose was aUo delayed by the torn up condition of South Main street , which Is now obstructed by the ti.ichlayors , nml they were compelled to wa'k ' for a dis tance of two blocks from tholr IIOIMB.

The shock ol the explosion burst out the windows , and had the lircmen been on hnnd some of thnm would undoubtedly have been badly cut or burned by thu falling glass and blazing oil , The Hie wns flnt seen h.v parties passing down Fourth street , and thuv gave the alarm. Soon after the lire started there wis an explosion tn the building , and a man who happened to he pacing in mint was thrown to the ground b.y the shock. These who roauhcd thu spot nt that time niw flames in the center of the building , but the lire did notbujstout , until the second crashing ex plosion , when the llamcs scorned tn leap to all parts of the building at once , giving rise to suspicions of incendiarism , but the cause was soon apparent. Tlio oil spread the llamcs , setting lire to thn walls , colling and all parts of the lower lloor , und quickly as cending to the roof. The oil was tin own out as far as the mid dle of the r.ticet and blazed where it fell until consumed. it was but a very short time after the de partment arrived until thu flames were under control. The heat was so intense that the telephone wires in front of tne building were molted. An investigation as to the cause of the fire revealed the fact that it was undoubtedly Incendiary , nnd the persons who set It are evidently these who have been working the city for some nights past. The most light was thrown on the subject by the statement nf a clerk at Mueller's music store , who sleeps In the store adjoining , lie had but Just gone to bed and heard some men talking just under his window niui walking-over a pile ol broken glass. lie thought they were merely passing through the alloy , but their voices had hardly died away when ho heard an explosion that shook the buildng. Ho dressed ns hastily/as / possible and hurried down stalra , but the lla-aies were thun breatt- ing out at front and at rear. He said that the explosion seemed like a can of oil of per haps ton gallons or so. What It really was will perhaps never In known. Mr. Wagner , the owner ot the building , was not soun last night , and it is not known what the loss will bo or whether there was any insurance. The wall of the Kvans building adjoining is bulged out about a foot and will have to come down. ThU will effectually settle the dlsuutcd llro wall question at that spot , which has been In dispute for some time A few minutes alter 11 o'clock another lira was discovered in the store of I'otor C.

The lire was dis covered by Captain Anderson , of the rnur- chant's police , and Tin ; HUB representative , wno were talking just across the street. They hurst into the door , but the shelves of wall uapor in the four of the stow were all ublaio , and there was nothing at hnnd with which to extinguish. The department turned out in excellent tune and extinguished the llro with the Babcock chemicals. This lire was also the work of a lire bug , but the mys tery is how he managed to escape , as the lire was certainly discovered within a half minute f rain the time it was started , but ha got away without leaving a clue.

The political kettle is getting pretty well warmed up , and the wire pullers and ward workers are already getting in their worlc. To-day the democrats hold their county con vention , when disappointment will bo the otof some of the liopaful ones , as them uro several more candidates than there are vacnit ofllccs. The ofllces that are to bo tilled uro treasurer , auditor , sheriff , coroner , superintendent of schools , surveyor , two members of the board of supervisors and two members of the legislature. It Is gan- cr'illy ' predicted that the urosont Incumbents of thu first four ofllcas will bo ronoiuinatod without much of a light. So far us it is reported , there Is little or no competition for any of those ofllces except sheriff , for which there have boon several candidates reported. It Is stated in this con nection , that Shot-ill O'Neill ' will carry too many guns for his competitors , as hu is claimed to have about forty of the forty-two votes from the city delegation , which U about two-thirds of those nocosi.ir.v to secure - cure his iioniiu itlon. Is Is also roportoil that ho will have the solid support of several out side townships , which will insure his nomi nation. Democrats and republicans express tlio belief that all of the pi-esant list of county oIlIcKIs will be ronominated. Considerable interest Is felt in the remit of the race fur county Hiipurvisors. The two outgoing members S. B. Frutu and C. b , Walto aru both republicans , and there is much speculation us to their successors , as the board in 1U present membership is re publican , but the election of ono democratic member would alter its polklo.il complexion. Among the democrats mentioned for thu of- llcu uro A. C. Graham , J , H , Matthews nnd T. B , Hays , and it Is predicted that the two nominees will bo selected from the trio , al though several others are mentioned in that connection , A prominent democrat , in speaking of the mutter yesterday , remarked : "Andy Gra ham is wall lilted for the position. HU record made during his former membership of the board shows that fact , hut I am in clined to think that It would bo harder to elect him than some others , for this reason : When ho was on the board before ho inudo himself obnoxious to certain of thu demo cratic city officials by cutting in two u great many of their bills un presented to the board , ami they have not forgotten it. They de feated Sam Underwood last full for the very sumo thing , and u republican wus elected in hU place. Uraham did not tulk to suit tuoui , for when they romountrutod with him ho boldly told thorn that a tlomoerat'ft bill would bo cut n * teen ns n republican's , If it was too largo , Just M long n * ho wns on the board , They remember this nnd have tht > lr Jiatchots till sharpened and laid away to piny cvon with him if he come * up for the same olllco again. " For members of tlio loiflslaturo two gentlemen - mon must bo nominated to till the places of Representatives Wyman nnd Hnrt , It seems to bo the general Impression thnt Mr. Wynmu will be nominated to succeed hlmsolf , nnd there nra numerous parties whoio claims nro pressed to succeed the othnr rjtlrlng mem ber. Among thom nro J. Tomnloton , of Garner ; .1.1' . Weaver and A. C , Graham , of HIM city ; Or. Hompstoud. ot Wnvolnnd , and Wllloiiphby Dye , ot Macedonia. Some of these gentlemen nro working to secure the nomination , while others have simply boon mentioned ns unions possible nominees. The republican convention will not be hold until Thursday , nnd In the few days inter vening before that time , it will bo necessary for several candidates to duvolopo , ns nt present aspirants nro very scarce , Thus fnr no ono has been mentioned us n candidate for ollhor treasurer or member of the board of supervisors. U is stated thnt Mr. E. II. O-hlondorf , of this city , will prob ably receive the nomination for auditor. Mr. Ohlemlorf is the secretary of the Pottnwat- tunilo County Farmers Fire Insurance com pany , and It Is thought he would be solidly supported by tno farmers throughout the county. In regard to the chnnces of n republican candidate for treasurer , a lender In the re publican ranks \estcrday expressed himself ns follows ; "I think that wo can elect a gooit nut , tn that ofllce , if the democrats nominate .lohn Tinnier for nnothcr term. This Is not saving that Pluinor Is not u good man , for ho is ono of the best oftlelals whoever over Illlod that oHIco. The trouble Is that ho has already filled that olllco two terms , and it Is a vrry hard thing to elect a man fern n third no matter how popular he may be. That will bo the only objection to Plumer , hut that , I bollcvo , will provo Bitniulont to prevent his re-election Ho will undoubtedly receive the nomination , and for this reason I want to see u good man run against him , " The only republicans who uro now really in the light for the nomination for sheriff nro said to bo Gus Lxvcnbui-f ; and S. B. Frum. Lavonburg has boon worklnir hard for some ttmo. una has traveled all over the county among the farmers in his own Inter est , and It is assorted Unit ho will co into the convention with n force that will astonish Frum , who has been heretofore regarded as sure of the nomination. Tlio opinion pre vails , however , that Frum will In the nom inee even if it does require a spirited contest to decide it. Aspirants for legislative honors have not ns yut blossomed o'ut in sulllelont numbers to indicuto thnt there is an unusually lurgo crop. The only gentleman who is nt all prominently mentioned in this connection U Leonard Everett , csq. , the alderman from the Fourth ward. At the caucus in this ward Saturday evening , the delegates to the county convention were instructed to SUD- port Mr. Evoiett for member of the legisla ture und S. B. Frum for sheriff , and that is all that is known of Mr. Everett's ' candidacy. In view of these facts it is not expected that either of the conventions will provo very exciting. This will certainly bo the case if the primaries hold last week arc any criterion by which to Judge. They were the tamest affairs hold in the city for years , and did not indicate the existence of conflicting claims that would crouto uhcord in the con ventions. It is u settled fact , however , that there will bo u hard-fought and closely con tested buttle at the polls on the 5th of No vember and few of tliu nominees will rest secure m case of mind and perfect confidence until after the ballots are counted.

At the Bethany Baptist church occurred yesterday the first anniversary of ttio begin ning of nublic worship under its auspices. The sermon was preached by tlio pastor , Rev. E. N. Harris. Ho chose for his text "Eben-ezer " "Hitherto hath , - , meaning the Lord helped us , " a name given by Samuel to a memorial stone which ho set up at Mlz- peh , as recorded in I Sum. , 13. The preacher sketched the circumstances which led to the giving of this names. Israel hud long been subject to tlio Philistines. At length they assembled at Mizpoh , the place of the sanctuary , to pray to Jehovah for de liverance. Even while they were there , the Philistines came 'up against thom with a great host , well arm'jd. ' The children of the promise wore defenseless , yet God gave their enemies into their hands , and thus wan begun a career of national victories which cul minated in Solomon's glorious reign. Lessons to ue derived from this incident are : First , that the foundations of all true success for tno church are to bo laid In prayer. The Israelites had como together to Mizpch to pray. This was the secret of their victory. Second , reliance is not to bo placod. on human agencies. The victory comes not by reason ot strength of arms. When the Israelites saw the Philistines como against them , they did not soak to make their de fense bolter nor to set themselves In more formidable array. They knew it would bo of no avail. They simply asked Samuel to pray more earnestly for them. The hope of the church of God to-day is not in magnitlcont edifices , nor in wealth , nor in social influence , nor In any like human agencies. It Is in uruycr alone. Third , when God gives the token , his people - plo should push ou to victory. When the Israelites saw that God had discomlited the Philistines , they immediately commenced the pursuit. Whenever God opjns the w.iy , the church should bo ready to go forward ut once. The salient features of interest in the past yenr's history of the Bothuny Baptist church were bncllv mentioned. A remarkably thriving Sunday school bus oeeh maintained , the prayer meetings have been deeply spiritual , friends have been made , a stand ing in the community has been acquired , and much good bus been otherwise accomplished. The anniversary of tlio recognition of this church is tn be observed socially on Thurs day of this week , and nt thnt. time Tin : DUE will give a fuller report of the year's doings.

Dr. Phelps occupied tins pulpit in the First Presbyterian church ye-itorday ut the morning hour. Tha event was of double Interest for the reason that ho has just re turned from u brief vacation and this was hie lirat uppuaranco since a refreshing re laxation from his pastoral tios. Thn church wus well Illlod and these present heard un eloquent sermon on the nearness und over- fulthfulnoas of Christ. The sermon wus based upon thn outburst of John ut Patiuos .when the vision of the revelation anpsarod to him ! "Unto Him th > it loved us , und washed us from our sins In His blooJ , and hath made us kings and priests unto Hl.i father , to Him bu glory uid dominion for ever. " These nro beautiful , Inspiring words. They do not appaar to have boon studied , for they ara too warm uud fervent for that. They uro rather u sudden outburst of Joy from a heart ten full to contain Its fooling. It Is the more remarkable in that it is In writlnv , for outbursts usually occur in speech , und more remarkable still that it was written by a very old man , lout , ' past thu enthusiasm of youth , nearly a hundred years old. Ho had been banished by the fierce Uomun persecution from Epucsus to'Patoioi , a louoly , rooky Ulaud ot thu .i gean sea. The nged npostlo wm sitting In his loneliness on ono of the roclfy Height * of the Isle , In sad memory inoditnting twhcn thn glorious vision ho writes nbout wns ouonoil before him. Quickened by tha/w.u-andorful / visions ho snt down to xvrlto his closing hook , the book of Revelations. In tho-outburst Itself no naino Is given ; no name-'Is needed , It ays , "of Him that loved us. " Of only one being nro the subllmo word * off the pimniio truo. No merely hiiinnt. bcnofActor , no angelic minis- tcrlng spirit ; notrVtti the Holy Ghost or the Father In heaven InW washnd us from our sins with his blood and has made us kings and priests unto God but the Jesus of Beth lehem , of Calvary , the nscondcd , enthroned , nil-powerful Son of God. Bo has done this for us , nnd unto Hint * bo glory nnd dominion forever and over. John evidently cherished n peculiar love for Jesus ns distinguished from the others of the Trinity. Ho spoke of the Father with no manifest umotion , nnd the sumo of the Holy Ghost , but when ho cnmo to speak of JUSIIK ho burst out In sublime words of love nnd prnlso. It ( s not strnngo thnt ho should huvo loved Jesus pccuilurly , for ho had been with Him during the three years of his ministry , und had scon so much of the peerless beauty of His character , and had been more inti mate with Him than any of the others , had leaned on His breast and become to bo known ns the disciple whom Jesus loved , It is not strange that John loved Jesus. Tlio same distinguishing love of the Saviour is true of nil his people. It Is not strange or wrong. Ho beautifies our natures , Ho calls us brethren ; even in His glory wo mo made ono with Him. Wo are relying upon His atonement , praying in His numo and depend ing upon Ills gruc3 niMl providence.1. Thu Greek word rendered , love is n present par ticiple. It Indicates not an net , but un utti- ttulo. The attitude Is not for nny brief period , but for eternity. Uoforo the world was. Ho hud the puiposo to create us. Ho spent millions of years In prcnarini ; this world for our abode , thoh liu created us witli nil the possibilities of our natures , with nil the Immeasurable sources for Joy and good It was all in love thnt Ho created us. Ho foreknow our full by sin , and made provisions for redemption from It even though It was lo cost His own humllution and death. It was hi Uivo Ho re vealed his coming 40t)0 ) years beforehand. It wus in love Ho cnuie , wrought , suffered nnd died und rose from the tomb. Ho has loved us over since , und will forever more. His love is nlso unparalleled , not only In du ration , but in all other characteristics. Ho docs not love ua collectively , b Jt personally , Just as u parent cnnnot love his family us a whole but each as a distinct person. The atonement Is a work of lovo. Ho was not compelled to do it by any obligation of the moral nature , ns some have claimed. Jesus saw our ruin , Ho could save us , and Ho alone , and therefore Ho felt the obliga tion to do it. There was no higher than Ho to whom He could be responsible , nor could the resnonslblltv have rented on Him more than on the Fnthcr , or the Spirit , and they did not uavo as as lie did. Nor a was it undertaken by Jesus that ho might enhance His glory thereby. Ho ha'l all the glorv of the Divine Being , all His works and all Ills angels tn praise Him. Even our de struction would have boon to His glory. Ho saved us because Ho loved us. It w.u real love , deep , soul-moving , eternal nud un changeable lovo. Wo are sinners , nnd sin Is the bine of our being. All our sufferings , our sorrows , our failures , the fear nnd sting of death , the fear of Judgment and the dreadful repara tion of God arc duo to it. Sin is a fact that must bo gotten out of the way or wa can not have neaeo or ovorlastiiiK life. Christ could not ignore it and save * us. Throughout all the ages that have past , all that are to come , Christ's love has been changeless and will bo ondurin ? unto the end.
