The Ottumwa Spirit Of Reform of
last week has short local item in it
about a Peg-leg Fiend, as he repre-
sents him.
l will tell you the reason. 1t is
this: Four years ago the Reform
part of the Spirit came here and
joined the Grant and Wilson club one
night, and was making Union
speech when the same Peg-leg Fiend,
as he calls him, came in and was very
indignant at such performance, al
though some of the Republicans
thought it was pretty nice to have an
Elk. G. c. A. up there making q
speech to them. Peg stood it as long
as he could, and about the time Mr.
Reform got pretty warm, applauding
Mr.. Grant and his administration
Peg arose and disturbed the speaker
by asking him how long it had beer
since he had turned over to the Union
side. Mr.. Reformer was speeches.
for a few moments, but finally STAN
mered out that he did not want to b.
examined on that subject, and tool
his seat. This, we claim, is the rea
son that he uses the term "Fiend.'
Well, will just state this for thu
benefit of Mr.. Reform, that | have
the Grant speech you made here fOul
years ago, verbatim, and intend t.
publish il as soon as l have q goot
opportunity. We all know you
Hackelbarny, Davis county, and Mis-
souri, record during the late War
And speaking of "lunacy" and "mis
representation" which is the worst
that little rnse in the Eld0n Times, OF
your friends of Pleasant township, 0
your course in the last fourteen years
.'oh, Consistency, where's thy blush. +"
| Now, challenge Mr.. Reform Crot
Eater to deny this. MORE ANON.

From the Constitution we learn that
on Saturday evening at about q
O'Clock Conductor O'Neill's construc-
ton train, while making run
ming switch at the Summit, run
over two men named Morris Ma
honey and Peter Jeffrey, crushing n
leg for Jeffrey and running over one
of Mahoney's arms and also one of
his legs. There seems to be but little
hope for the recovery of either one
of them. That paper says:
AS soon as the accident was dis
covered Conductor O'Neill had the
men picked up and taken to their
homes at Summit Station, and sent
for a doctor from Keosauqna, who
put in an appearance in the course of
time, and after looking at the men.
declined to do anything for them
wasn't he Christian until he had
a guarantee from the company that
they would pay him. That is exactly
what this sweet-sccnted disgrace to
the profession did, and were we able
to obtain his name, we would herald
it to the world so that people might
know what kind of a man he is. Con.
ductor O'Neill telegraphed to Super
intendent Griggs these facts, who, of.
ter consultation with Genera
Bridgman, gave the doctor 81 th'
necessary guarantee, and sent up lei
and other neccssaries for the wound
ed men.

The Methodist churches, North and
South, which have been sundered for a
generation past, on account of slavery
and the war, have arranged through
representatives of their respective or
carnations for consolidation, which
is now in fair way for speedy ac-
complishment.
In round numbers they have say
two million Methodists in the church
South and say four millions in the
church proper, making altogether.say
six millions of Methodists in the
United States, or onc-seventh of the
entire population.
Slavery, "thc twin relic Of barbar.
ISM. or "the sum Of all villainies' as
it was more forcibly characterized
by John Welsey, having been extir
pated, there is no longer any radical
cause Of difference between these two
great bodies.
Their union will enable this pow
erful organization to move upon thu
enemies works with an Irresistible
momentum.

The robbery case which has attract
ed the attention Of the District Court
at Keosauqua during the present
term, was brought to close Saturday
night at 10 o'clock. Emery Hardin
and VIM. Henry, two of the prison
ers arrested for the crime. tried
together, were both found guilty and
each were sentenc ed to ten years nj
hard labor in the penitentiary.
This is the trial known as the
Jacques case, but the principal was
not tried owing to a severe spell OF
sickness. Henry is only a lad, prob.
ably not over q years, if that, but
has a gloomy prospect before him. Il
we remember right, at the last term
of Court ia this city Judge Knapp
sentenced him to ten years in the pen
itentiary for completely in the Cougei
robbery which decision was appealed
from. He now has fair prospect Of
serving the State for twenty years
We understand that his friends have
given notice of an appeal from the
decision of the Judge at Kcosauqua
which, if we have been correctly in
formed, can only have the effect te
prolong the time of the taking effec
of the sentence. They were ably de
tended by Lea & Beaman and Cas-
Hendershott.
The prosecution was conducted by
Capt. Fee, assisted by Williams 4
Manning.

CHURCH TROUBLE.

An irrepressible conflict has broken
out in the Christian Church, upper
Second street, between the organ and
anti-organ people.
1t seems that the party which fa-
yorcd purchasing an organ finally
succeeded, but the anti-organists nail
ed up the doors and windows Satur-
day night last so that the members at
tending church failed to make an en-
trance Sunday morning. Sunday
evening, however, they succeeded
and notes of triumph pcalcd forth
from the organ to the dismay of the
anti-organ party.
Barnum in one of his books tells
Of the early struggle of stove and
anti-stove party in his town of
Bridgeport Conn. The stove men,
however, won and the next Sunday
thereafter the old fashioned template
stove was introduced and the stove
and the stove party We're hot and ra-
diant with triumph.
| After the congregation was dis
missed an old anti-stovc man, whose
seat happened to be in the corner
near the door. arose and requested a
business meeting Immediately after
the congregation had adjourned, to
which he held forth substantially as
! follows: "Brethren, we have had q
long contest over this stove question
l have opposed the purchasing of a
stove, believing that it was an inno-
walton upon the time honored sim
plicity of our fathers. You have
gained the stove, but you have lost {
member. The stove may be goo(
enough for you people who have
seats near il but can't remain in m!
seat near the door any longer. Th'
effect of the heat of the stove is tC
drive the cold to the outer seats o
the building and it has consolidated i
at the door where l sit until it is sim
ply intolerable." Whereuron tn
brother left the church, but the stow
, remains in the church, its brightness
growing still, unless Barnun
was humbugging the peopl
with his story. We commend it
moral to our friends of tn Christian
: church.
