The Prayer Movement.

The praying women visited the saloons Of
Springfield, ILL.,, on the 10Th. The only result
of the proceeding was to furnish an exciting
episode in the experience of the corner loafers.
The ladies were not discouraged, and proposed
capital surrendered. In Cleveland, Ohio, sixty
women marched through the city and visited
several saloons, but were so rudey treated
that they were compelled to suspend opera
tions. Two of the ladies were seriously in
jured by the surrounding mob.
The crusaders renewed their efforts for the
conversion of the saloon-keepers of Cleveland,
Ohio, On the Goth. One band visited several
saloons. Everything passed off quietly and
the ladies were respectfully treated. Another
band assembled at the Lorraine Church, where
they encountered a large crowd, and as
the ladies' were leaving for their homes
they were hooted at and jeered by the
excited mob. The police, assisted by
q number Of gentlemen present, escorted the
ladies to place of safety. A policeman at
tempted to arrest one of the crowd of roughs,
and a fight was started in which the police
were obliged to Use their clubs, which they
did with good effect, making several arrests.
The streets were crowded with excited Ger
mans, and riot was at one time imminent,
but the arrival Of a reinforcement from the
police headquarters put matters in better
shape. During the excitement the German
brewers organized procession, composed of
lager-beer wagons loaded with beer kegs on
which sat large number of men drinking
beer as they moved through the streets. The
Mayor has issued a proclamation forbidding
unlawful assemblages. The Springfield (Ill)
saloons were besieged on the Goth, but no con.
verts were made.

both barrels Of his shotgun at Allen, and
turning upon Daniels gave him the contents
Of a revolver, killing him instantly. Allen
clung to his horse and discharged all his
arms. The other man put spurs to his horse

Jim Younger took his brothers body to a
negro's shanty, rode back TO his house, told
the news, and then made off toward the north.
Wright reached Osceola, ten miles away, dur
ing the evening, gave his story and set out to
find his comrade. Allen had bad wound in
the abdomen and eight buckshot In his left
arm. AT last accounts he was lying at Osce-
ola, receiving the best attention, but his recov-
cry was considered doubtful. John Younger
was buried hurriedly on the following day and
Daniels the day after. Jim Younger was, It
was subsequently ascertained, badly wounded
