One of the most curious expressions
of the oyerhowing vitality and energy
orChicago, is Dwight L. Moody, the ia
nous lay preacher and evangelist. The
fire destroyed Farwell Hall, worth two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, aud
largely built as the result of Mr.. Moody

Christian Association, another pet Ell.

Mission Church, as people would persis,
in calling il, and Mr. Moody's owr
house. With the Association building
library, and preaching-hall gone for the
second time, with his own house, which
had been handsomely furnished By
friends, destroyed, one would hav'
thought he might have accepted a "call'
elsewhere. But before the ashes wert
cool, Mr.. Moody's CHEEKY, hopeful fac,
was in New York asking for money t.

PUSHING THINGS.

The A. T. & S. F. Railroad is grow.
ing at every point. The grading be.
tween Atchison and Topeka is COM
pleted, and track is being laid from both
points. The road will be finished by
New Years. and Emporia will thus re-
ceive an important addition to its direct
railroad connections with the north and
east. Orders have been given to grade
both the branch line from Newton to
Wichita and The main line from New
ton to Fl. Larned, as rapidly as posi-
BILE, and large forces of men will be
kept at work through the winter. The
grading is TO be completed to these
points by the first of June.
Mr.. Lakin, the popular agent of the
road here, also informs us that both
freight and passenger business is excel
lent.

THE OcTOBER ELECTIONs.

The following are the latest details in
regard to tho October elections:
In Pennsylvania, the Republicans will
have majority of twenty-five on Joint
ballot in the next Legislature. The
House stands sixty-two Republicans,
thirty seven Democrats, and one Tenn
perance man (from Lancaster); the Sem
ate seventeen Republicans to sixteen
Democrats. The Democrats have the
Speaker who holds over, and according
to the custom for several years past,
presides until o new Speaker is elected.
The Democrat Senators have heretofore
protested against this practice, but will
probably now take advantage of the
precedent to throw as many difficulties
as possible in the way oforganiZing the
Senate by the Republican majority.
The Democrat return judges of the
Franklin and Cumberland Cor 19th)
Senatorial eDistrict, have refused to
give Mr.. Weakely his certificate of cleo
has clear majority of 500, on the ground
that fraud and bribery have been made
use of in obtaining the said votes. This
will make his seat in the Senate prob
ably a matter of sufficient uncertainty
to allow the Democrats to attempt to
block the organization. On the State
ticket, the Republican majority, accord
ing to the latest figures, Is IA, 649. The
maj ority for Geary, Republican, in 1859,
was 1896.
The latest returns from Iowa place
the Republican majority at 40,5S4. The
Senate shows "a Republicans to Dem
ocrats the House, II Republicans to %
Democrats; Republican majority on
joint ballot, SO. Tho Democrats gain
one Senator and 10 Representatives.
A Des Moins dispatch to the Dubuque
Times, speaking of the United States
Senatorship, says: "Harlan men claim
60 votes certain among the Republicans
members. Allison men don't say much,
but laugh not little at the Harlan as
sumption. Impartial parties here cal
culate the Republican members at 81
for Allison, 80 for Harlan, and "a for
Wilson.
In Ohio the Republican majority for
Governor is little over q, 600. The Sem
ate as before reported is a tie. The seat
of the Senator from Dayton District is,
however, 10 be contested, on the ground
that the votes of the inmates of the Sol.
dier's Asylum at Dayton were rejected.
and should the contestant be allowed
his seat, the Senate will have Repub-
lean majority of two. The RepubI cans
have 8 majority of ten in the House.

MARTIAL LAW FOR SOUTH CARO-
LIMA. =

A portion of South Carolina again
has an opportunity to measure its
strength with the United States govern
ment. 1t seems the "stay at home"
portion of the rebels of that State want
little more powder. Unless they
obey the laws of the country they will
be likely to get satisfaction. Warning
was given to the Ku Klux in Spartans-
burg and eight other counties of the
State, on the 18th of October, that IN
less they dispersed and gave up their
arms within five days, martial law
would be proclaimed. AS they did not
disperse nor disarm, martial law came
as threatened. This fact is notable as
being the first case of suspension of the
privileges of the writ of habeas corpus
under the enforcement act, passed al
the last session of Congress.
1t is fitting, perhaps, that this first
case should come from the people who
fired the first gun against the govern
ment in The recent rebellion. It is no.
torious that the Ku Klux "dens" in
South Carolina are well supplied with
arms stolen from the State militia, and
are other wise we'll equipped. Within
a few weeks there have been no very
fragrant cases of outrages by these ruff.
fans, but 1t is well known that Their
organizations are more complete than
ever, and that sign of hesitatio on
the part of the government would be
signal for general outbreak. 1t II
believed in Washington that the procla
nation of martial law will not only
stop prevailing violence, but prevent {
general massacre in these nine counties
specified. Dispatches from Columbit
state that Marshal johnson has in Gus
tody 100 persons, charged with belong
ing to the Ku Klux organization
Some of these have surrendered to tn,
civil authorities. There is great pant
in the country over which martial Law
reigns, and the people are fleeing on
to the mountains of North Carolina anC
Georgia, from York and SpartahsburJ
counties.

at 2 p. n. the party arrived, tired and
hungry, at the city of Sedalia. The
best dinner we ever saw was spread be-
fore us at the Ives house, very large
and elegant hotel In all Its appoint

Sedalia. They were tseated with
princely hospitality. The only regrets
we heard expressed on the part of eK-
cursionists was that they could not eat
more. We shsII always look back upon
our reception at that beautiful and
thriving town as one of the bright spots
on our journey to and fro through the
earth. Her people are hospitable, gen.
erous and enterprising. After all had
satisfied their hunger with the good
things provided, speeches were made
in response to toasts by the Mayor OF
the city, IL. w. Reynolds, Senator Cald,
