TEMPERANCE AND METEODIsM.

The temperance barometer is evidently rising in
this city judging from the interest manifested in
the subject by the Methodist preachers yesterday,
and by the hearty addresses made, and the
heartier 'Amens" with which they were greeted
by the brethren. The Mission Room was crowded.

Rev. !. II. Lent, OF Dobbs Ferry, LED or in the
debate. The topic adopted Tor discussion a
week ago on his motion, and, though very timid
man, he handled the matter ably yesterday. He
Nkened the women's movement to John the
Baptist going before to prepare the way OF the
Lord, 80 that great outpouring OF the spirit on
the churches and congregations and towns ought
to be expected. The ministers oil the Gospel should
throw themselves into this movement and give 1t the
most positive character. Christian ministers and
people should not deal with q rum-Selling grocer
nor eat in rum selling restaurant. He rejoiced
that Trinity corporation had recognized the force

purposes. But they should not have rented their
property at all for such purposes And II Method
lists would not rent their places to rumsellers we
should help this movement and very greatly benefit
the churches But we can help 1t by voting. He
would not be deferred by the cry against bringing
temperance and religion into politics. MIR. Lent
quoted Jefferson on this point, and thought we
should carry temperance and religion into politics.

islatures. And we shall never have 1t better until
we think more OF principles than Of men. IL Is folly
TO think we can regulate this traffic We might as
well try to regulate a mad dog Nothing but the
strong hand OF the law can do this.

THE BOWERY TEMPERANCE MEET.
ING.

well attended temperance meeting was held
at Carmel chapel in the Bowery, last night.
The meeting was opened with prayer and Mrs.
Lawrence, who figured so prominently at Harry
HILLS, on SUNDAY night was introduced as the first
speaker. Her remarks were, for the most part
confined to the subject OF the meeting in Harry
Hills, which she considered as q great triumph.
Yesterday she had heard many say that the whole
thing was nothing more less than piece Of
empty show, and that it coulo not and would not
have any good or lasting effect. People making
these assertions place great stress the fact that
nearly all those present at the meeting went and
took drink alter the praying was over; but Mrs.
Lawrence knew OF many cases where this was only
done Tor bravado, and many who had done 1t sub
sequently signed the pledge. Others, whom she
could name, did not sign the pledge, put informed
her that they would never drink in "Harry's"
again.
Mr.. MoLLETT next addressed the meeting. His
remarks were descriptive OF experience of the
most horrifying character. He graphically por-
trayed with telling effect the doings OF topographic
tpers whom he mad met in Belfast. lie claimed
the honor OF being well acquainted with the editor
OF the NeioS Letter of that place, who, he declared,
TOOK savage satisfaction, every time he got
drunk, In writing philippcs against temperance.
Mr. Molett drew an inference from this and ap-
pied 1t to certain New York editors and papers.
The meeting closed with prayer, and the crowd
dispersed In good order.

slightest knowledge that any act Of mine has de-
priyed me of the right to be regarded as an est-
mable and law abiding citizen.
NV saloon may be "the resort OF pugsts and
the fancyn but 1t never was, and, so long as re-
main its landlord, 1t never shall, become the 're-
sort OF rowdies.' My doors are always open to
everybody, being in this respect on the same foot
ing with theatres and other places OF public
amusement-to say nothing OF churches-but my
visitors conduct themselves IN orderly, quiet
manner or they have forthwith to quit the estab-
lshment, The entertainment nightly presented
to my patrons is similar to many given in Broad
way and like fashionable localities, with the add-
ton, occasionally, OF sparring, wrestling and
other athletic exercises; while the entire pro-
corun. The HERALD, ! am sure, has long
been cognizant OF this fact. Whether pugillsm,
wrestling and similar feats Of Skill and strength be
disreputable otherwise l will not at present
argue. They form part OF many highly patronized
entertainments in London, Paris and other Euro
pean cities; and scholarly men have been accus-
toned to speak OF them with admiration when
taking place IN the Isthmian games or the much
change OF scene make these exercises disreputable
which formerly were considered worthy of the
sculptors chlse and the undying songs Of poets9
The motive prompting me TO open my doors to
the so.called Temperance Crusadersn and their
male allies did not arise, as you suggest, from a
feeling OF seli-interest, but from the desire that
these people should have fair chance OF being
heard. To insure this myself presided over yes
terday's meeting, and l shall continue TO do SO as
long as they require the use OF my theatre. 1t was
currently reported about town during the proceed
ing week that numerous clergymen in this city and
Brooklyn had actually refused to open the doors
their churches to these reformers, and, learning
the report to be well founded gladly placed my
establishment at their disposal, although fully
aware that by so doing laid myself open to the
charge of interested motives, besides Sacrificing

conclusion, that although opposed to the full plat

advocated the adoption OF some practlcal method

the case OF John Allen had proved. Before closing
his address he asked all the ladies who were VIII

A Married Woman tho Victim-Arrest OF
the AbOrtfontst.

Married Woman tho Victim-Arrest of
the AbOrtfontst.
At late hour yesterday afternoon man entered
the Coroners' Office and stated to the clerk that
woman named Mrs. Rose Phillips had died suddenly
the night previous at No. ia Thompson street. and
he requested burial permit. The clerk thought
1t some what strange that the man should report
the case to him instead of to the police of the pre-
cinct in which he lived, and, therefore, informed
Coroner Woltman who, with Dr. Shine. visited
the house where the body lay and were at
once convinced that the woman had been the
victim OF an attempted ABORTION. A post
mortem examination was made, and this dis
closed, beyond doubt, that the deceased had
come to her death by foul play. Not only had an
abortion been Effected, but the unfortunate
woman had evidently been most wantonly and
outrageously maltreated.
Coroner WOltman at once summoned Jury and
an investigation was commenced In the case. The
husband OF the woman, Michael Phillips, testified
that he knew his wife was pregnant and had
heard her say she would not have u child; on
Sunday afternoon she was taken sick ana re-
quested HIM to go for woman named
Williams, who lived at No. III Thompson street,
just across the way; when this woman came she
gave his wife something to drink, and from con-
versatiOn that he heard between her and his wife
he was satisfied that she was endeavoring to pro-
duce an abortion. He went for Dr. Therain. who
came and examined the suffering woman and pro-
.nOunced her to be In very critical condition. lie
He was OF opinion that her death was caused by
metro-peritonitis the result OF an abortion.
warrant was at once made out for the woman
Williams and she was arrested and locked UP.
