lnnn ElecIlOn.

NEw ORLEANS, December 12, - The
Times says that the reports which have
been current for weeks past Of the crook.
e,lness in the Darral.Acklin contest in the
Third Congressional district have at last
deyolved into something more definite
than mere rumors. The District Attor.
ney has (iled criminal Information in
the United States Circuit Court against
Geo. D. Loud, charging him with inducing
an officer by illegal means 10 violate his
duty in regard to certificate as to the
true result Of the election in the parish Of
lberVille for Representative in Congress
in the Third Congressional district. II
seems, according TO the evidence on which
the information is based, that Geo, b.
Loud was instrumental in having about
one thousand ballots, on which was the
name OF Darral, abstracted from the bal.
lot boxes Of the parish Of Iberville, and
about that number with the name OF Ack.
lin upon them placed in the boxes, thus
changing the result Of the election. II is
claimed that this change was discovered
when the ballots were reconnted under
order OF the Congressional Committee TO
lake testimony. Two or three Of the par.
ties who, II is said, assisted in this trans
action have made statements OF the part
which they took in It. Loud was, under

The Great American Debt Payer.
There Ia religious man in New York,
now, who has adopted queer sort Of
speciality. He is church debt raiser.
His name is Edward Kimball. lie Is not
an ordained minister, yet sOmttimes does
lay preaching, and exhorlipg and pray
ing, but his speciality is paying of church
debts, He ID in demand among religious
denominations, and the chief priests and
elders all over the country are sending
for him to pull them through that
"slOugh Of despond," debt. He says that
he has never yet made failure to raise
all the money required, and more, at one
church session. When he began in San
Francisco the old heads shook at his
chimerical designs, and thought him
somewhat unsound at the Top. The first
congregation he collared had a debt
hanging over their church of $500. He
asked the preacher 10 give him bis pulpit
for one service. The preacher vacated
and Kimball entered. He told the people
that he did not intend to preach. They
were to do the preaching that day. He
asked them to look at the clock. Said he:
ut is now II o'clock; you watch that
clock, and when its hands points to half
past l2 o'clock your church shall be free
from debt" The congregation were
amazed. They had been groaning under
the $500 so long that the thing looked
Ridiculous. Nevertheless, KimbaIl pro.
posed his subscriptions snd appointed
tellers and went to work. II was nov
city, and ii worked. The people did not
regard ii as extorting money. In fact,
they rather enjoyed the fun. When he
had got down to 81 subscriptions, the tel.
Ter reported his tally. Ten per cent more
than the required sum had been subscrib.
ed and the dollar fellows hadn't had a
chance. Then he Told the delighted con-
Gregation to look at the clock. 1t lacked
seven minutes OF half-past twelve. Since
then Kimball has raised church debts Of
$75, 900. SIS, 900 and several smaller sums.
Aud he has never failed once. In thia
way he has already cleared from debt
thirteen churches on the Pacific coast,
three in Denver and two in Peoria. He Is
now working his frat congregation in
New York, and invitations for engsge-
ments are flowing in to him from all parts
Of the country. Mr.. Kimball believes he
has struck his peculiar mission. He goes
to work like a surgeon probing wound
or amputatlng limb, or dentist pull
ling teeth. The pain is very great no
dOubt-but then II feels so good after 1t
Is done hurting. After he has bulldOzed
acOngregation they straightway hail him
as a beneiactor, and sing a song OF great
rejoicing. And 50 he plays his part.
