Pittsburg Crusaders Again Ar

PITrsBURG, May %. = Notwith-
standing the discouragements yester-
day to the crusaders they turned out
this afternoon in large numbers.
While conducting services in front OF
the Labelle saloon, on Smithfield
street, they were again arrested and
escorted by the police to the Central
Police Station. The arrest caused
considerable excitement, attracting
immense crowds. While awaiting the
arrival of the Mayor they conducted
services. The hearing resulted in
two of the most prominent ladies be-
ing fined $25, and a gentleman who
accompanied them $50 and costs.
The fines were paid under notice of
appeal to Courts.

The police of Cincinnati actually
arrested certain parties, on Sunday,
for violating the State Sunday laws.
By the repeal of the city ordinance
upon the subject, the parties who ad-
vocated the repeal seem to have un-
derstood by it that they had free
license to desecrate the Sabbath in
any way they thought proper. But
thanks to an aroused public senti-
ment, the police authorities reached
a conclusion more in harmony with
law and order, and so, on Saturday,
issued an order to the effect that the
State law must now be enforced-that
gaming, or the opening of theatres
or concert halls where an admission
fee was charged, would not be per-
mitted. AS general thing the Or
der was obeyed. In two instances it
was disobeyed, and the parties were
The stand taken by the
better element of the city, for the en-
forcement of the law, has not been
without effect.

The Massachusetts, Disaster.
THE NUMBER DESTITUTE.

New YORK, May 21.-A North
hampton dispatch says there are now
in the Mill River Valley 1,200 desti-
tute and homeless people to feed and
clothe, not for one day only, but until
their future is decided upon, and the
Relief Committee must have at least
800, 900 for immediate use.
The women, as usual, exhibit more
fortitude than the men, and instead
of yielding to their sorrows, put forth
praiseworthy efforts to improve the
general condition.
Yesterday fifteen hundred men
came from different places to work in
the valley, clearing away the debris,
and were rewarded by the discovery
of nine bodies, five of which were
unrecognizable from decomposition.
THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY LOST.
BosToN, May 21.-The Special
Legislative Committee on the Mill

new, all but one was swept away,
making a loss to Northampton of

Williamsburg reported that one

A Citizen of jackson Drowned
Suspicion of Robbery and
Murder.

Suspicion of Robbery and
Murder.
The body of a man was found
floating in the Ohio river near the foot
of Walnut street, Cincinnati, last
Tuesday. 1t proved to be that of
W. H. Tolley, well-known citizen
of Jackson. Mr.. Tolley went to
Cincinnati the first of last week to
buy furniture and other articles. He
was to have returned home by the
following Friday, but not doing so,
inquiry was started by his family,
whose fears were aroused, and his
brother, now residing in this city, left
for Cincinnati last Monday. Moth
ing is known of the manner of his
disappearance, and although no
marks of violence were found upon
his person, there are strong suspi-
cions of foul play. He took with
him on leaving jackson, draft for
$293, besides other money. Only
two dollars were found upon his body
when recovered, and, stranger still,
his watch was also missing. His
body was brought to Jackson last
Wednesday for burial. Mr.. Tolley
leaves a wife and three children.
He was man of good character

Rule on temperance, making it more
definite. The amendment provides
that any person making, buying, sell

the Church. This was adopted by
a very large majority-by a vote of

THE street nrayine women Of Cil

The street praying women of Gin
cinnati were arraigned before the
Police Judge on Wednesday. After
hearing the testimony, the Judge dis
missed the case without costs or pen
atty, but with the admonition that the
law would be enforced in the future.
This decision was followed by an or
der from the Police Commissioners
forbidding the ladies to sing or pray
in any street, park, alley or square,
under penalty of the rigorous en-
forcement of the law. Thus, in Gin
cinnati, the outdoor work of the wo-
men has been decided to be an OBJ
struction of the streets, and conse-
quently illegal.
In view of this condition of things,
the Gazette concludes that ''Cincin-
natl has been sold by the dishonesty
of political managers and the apathy
of good citizens to the lowest ele-
ments in its population"
But the good citizens" have awak-
ened from their APATHY" at last, and
on Thursday evening assembled in
overwhelming numbers, and held a
stirring demonstration in favor of
municipal reform, temperance, and
the enforcement of the law against
all violations. The meeting, says the
Gazette, "was an undoubted success,
and judging from the interest and en-
thusiasm manifested, its fruits will
not be long in coming"

THE Cincinnati pulpit, on Sunday,
thundered along the whole line in be-
half of temperance, virtue, good Or
der, and civil and religious liberty.
The sentiment of the people in be-
half the enforcement of all laws has
become awakened and aroused, and
the city authorities are beginning to
feel the force of that awakening, as
is evidenced by the arrest of sundry
parties for violation of the Sunday
laws, and others for disturbing an
outdoor religious meeting. There is
hope for even Cincinnati.

TEMPERANCE.

AS that is the all absorbing ques-
tion in all our Union, l would say
that the praying women here are do
ing wonders in the line of abating
the evils of dram drinking. But we
have had little of the Chicago spirit
manifested here. The praying wo-
men were arrested in Portland, Ore
gon, lately, as disturbers of the peace
and quiet of the saloons there.
Ruffians assailed them, and they
were rudely treated and taken to Jail,
and jury found them guilty of dis
turbing the peace or the cause of it,
inasmuch as the inmates of those
rum hells brought out bells and pans
and gongs, drums, &c, and drowned
all singing and praying in the hideous
noise-and hence, if the women had
staid away, these fellows would not
have made that noise! But thank
God the tidal wave of temperance is
rolling on, conquering and to conquer.
We ''male men" are becoming asham-
ed of ourselves in the way we have
temporised in the case. From mo-
tives of gain and appetite, we have
suffered the evil to grow up in our
land-sanctioned by law-tilI it has
taken the nation. Nothing short of
such means as are now used-fer-
vent faith. and prayer-reaching to the
power and help of Jehovah, can de-
stroy and dry up those fountains of
death and woe. / read with heart
felt joy of the movements of the wo-
men in Ohio and elsewhere, and of
the wondrous results. I have labor
ed publicly and privately in the tenn
perance cause for 3S years past.
But never could l see sure prospect
of success till now. If the women
effect what we have not done, shall
never wish to pluck one laurel from
heir crown.
Poor, timid, weak and defenseless
creatures, what could they do hereto
ore but bear on, suffer on and die;
while their natural protectors who
lad become drunkards, become their
,ppressors. May the woman's tenn
'erance era be recorded on the page
# history, as of national importance.

and its millions of tons of quarried
