and stepped out doors, Mss White following HIM. In a
moment the nrst shot heard anu Mr.. Yocum, who
nrst at the scene, tells that Holland around
evergreen aud short distant thererom fell per-
fectly iielcss. Miss White followed him up with
revolver and when Holland iell. placed the muxze

Last night Gosuch Chapel, In South Washington,
was again thronged with people, who turned out to
give their Endorsement to the great temperance
work being done by the Central Temperance Union.
South Washington Is the banner ward for temper
anco thus far. The large number OF signers In that
secAon, embracing men from all walks Of life, arc
in earnest and are active workers. Led By Rev
DR.. Noble, they follow all the meetings Of the
Union wherever they may be held. Charley Nye
generally leads the meetings, and is great fayoriie
among the boys" His power for good among them
" immense. He Is the soul Of wit and humor In
his speeches. but nevertheless tells his with
heartfelt eloquence the terrible results Of intemper
nnce aud the human misery IN consequence
In untold households In this city. The
temperance men In this movement say they
have no dislike or enmity TO the liquor dealers,
but that they intend to attack and deal powerful
blows to the business itself They say thai they are
aware from their own conversions that kindness Is
more powerful than forciblc Language and compul'
sorry steps In seeking reformation OF men and abo-
liti0n OF the trafic In liquor Col. j. b: Dunning
has not relaxed his efforts. and hye OF aix years OF
active work fails to draw away nom him that heart
felt sympathy for fallen men which he shows by
practical steps and not waiting In contributions
from his pocket Mr.. William Shelly, Joseph
Coombs, Edward Peck, MeSsn, Humphreys, Leo
Ltchheld, Small, Hoy, and last but not loFst Bud
ESgleston, and others, are all good speakers, and
have rolled up their sleeves In the temperance
cause.
