stehm ON the Elm Grove.

Since the Legislature, at its last ses-
sion, restored the right to use steam on
the Elm Grove railway, nothing has
been heard of the subject and people are
wondering when they will eNCurt to the
country behind an engine. The friends
of steam, especially, are DESTROYS of
knowing what is to be done, while the
opponents are quietly happy at matters
resting in StGtu quo.
The facts of the matter are these:
While it is true that the Legislature has
restored to the company the rights
formerly granted and afterwards annull-
eel. only portion OF the obstacles has
been overcome. The permission OF the
Board of Commissioners must be obtain
ed, as the road crosses two county roads.
After this, Council must grant the right
To Put steam on Mccullough street. The
junction of this street with Sixteenth
was to Ice the extremity Of the line at
this end, 10 which the steam cars would
run.
But another difficulty exists. 1t is
threatened that ii the use of steam Is
attempted, the company will be en-
Joined, as it is claimed the Legislature
had no right to grant the use OF the
National road Whether an injunction
would Ice granted or not cannot be
known, but in either case extended liti-
CATION must enSue.
In case everything was ready from
legal standpoint, a great while must
clapSe before the road would be in con-
dition for steam. Much grading must
be done. and the road bed moved in sew
eral places TO make the project feasible.
rs matters now are, things are at a
standStill and may remain so indeti-
nitely. unless the pressure of the public,
asking for steam, becomes so great as TO
cause immediate steps TO be taken.

that produces it. 1t is the controversy
of the age whether this force is spirit
force; whether there is such thing as
spirit force in the universe.
1t is the function of Spirit to think,
and to act in accordance with the
thought, to produce change. Change,
therefore, shows thought. Change Is
the result of thought and volition com
bined of design, 'and force executing that
design. And if thought, then there
must be a thinker. He illustrated this
theory of design, proving the pre-exlst-
ence of designer by the building OF
ship. The successive stages OF the work
were described, from the selecting OF the
trees to the launching of the vessel. lie
also made a beautiful simile between
the Universe as designed by the Crea-
tor, and the slow process of cutting out
of shapeless block OF marble the form
of an angel. The artificial world around
us, made by man, is type OF the Uni
verse, made by God.
Can we think of this spirit force-can
we realize it as bringing forth the uni
verse in all its vast and appalling sub
Unity. and not bow down and worship?
Surely God has left the marks OF his
handiwork on all the works that he hath
made.

WHO WAS IT?
The Sullivan Robbery and the
Arrest of the Accused Party.

On Thursday night as DR.. Thos. F.
Sullivan, the Market street druggist,
was crossing the creek bridge about mid
NIGHT he was assaulted by a man who
knocked him down and took his watch
and chain and some loose money, sup
posed to be about $50. The Doctors
story is as follows:
He was at the circus and lett before
the performance was over. Coming INTO
the city he made several stops and hnal-
w brought up at Webb's saloon, Oh
market street. Here he INDUCED in
few drinks, and exhibited pocket-book
containing a round sum OF money.
This sight evidently aroused the Gu
pidity of some one in the saloon
at the time, as he was followed,
and upon turning the corner ol
the bridge, some one laid OBTAINING
hand upon his shoulder. Tie turned,
and received a heavy blow in the lace,
which caused him to stagger backward.
Thinking a supposed enemy was as
saulting him, he exclaimed; "My God!
what do YOU mean; what have | done?'
For answer, he received a still heavier
blow which knocked him down, his as
sailant taking flight. Two men,
whom he took for help, came
up at this juncture and rob
bed him of his watch, chain and
pocketbook. He called loudly for assis-
lance. and Perry Tracy and Fritz Iahr-
ling coming up, assisted him to Doctor
Hoge's, where his wounds were dressed,
and afterward to his home on the South
Side. =,
The Doctor claimed to have recognized
his assailant as one of the persons with
whom he had been drinking, and yes
terdav afternoon the startling lntorma-
ton was circulated that Thomas List, a
Young gentleman generally known and
well connected, had been arrested and
held to answer for the crime. Mr.. List
was arrested on both city and State war
rants. and gave bond for his appearance
to-day before Justice Miller.
Mr.. List has Il number OF warm
friends who stOutly assert his innocence
and claim his ability To prove an abb,
which it is to be hoped Is true. There
seems to be a total absence of any mo-
tive which could induce him 10 commit
such an act. 1t is claimed that Doctor
Sullivan was intoxicated at the time.
The police are very reticent upon the
matter, but we learn that two men,
Sweeney and Forsythe, have also been
arrested for completely in the crime, AMI
a third is under suspicion. The third
is a man of notoricty in petty crimes,
and bears general resemblance to Mr..
List. His name at present lisa profound
secret.
For Mr.. Lists sake, as well as for his
family and friends, it is sincerely to be
hoped he may be able to come out OF the
difficulty without tarnish upon his
good name.

a Thirsty Gang.

The powerful grippe love OF drink takes
upon weak man was certainly eXempl-
fled i'm the numerous attempts to rob
saloons, which occurred yesterday
morning shortly before dawn. Four
saloons were visited by these thirsty
night providers, but il they never drink
more than they got in their late noctur-
nal ,iSit they will be practical Murphies
hereafter. Several of our prominent
diSugnsers of alcoholic stimulanIs were
doubtlrss as astOnished TO find marks OF
iimulies on their doors yesterday morn
inc is was CruSOe at seeing the foot
prints in the sand.
At Wiedebusch's saloon, next this
office, little more bOldness might have
made them successful. The back door
of the front room had been worked at
for some time, rs seven deep indenta-
tons were plainly To be counted. The
burglars had opened the kitchen door
and communication to the saloon was
free. but they didn't try it. This Oc-
CURED about four o'clock, and as Mr..
WicdcbusCh got up at that time to at
tend the wants OF little child they
probably heard him and left. No booty.
Julius LDSche's saloon was treated in
the same way. The deep marks OF
powerful lever OF some description, were
plain on the door, but the citadel had
held out against the invaders. No
booty.
Will Sheeky's, the door below, was
not neglected. More work had been
done here, and the marks showed
the instrument To have been
sharp-pointcd The door is secured by a
bolt, Yale lock and an ordinary one,
and successfully resisted the efforts
made againstit. No booty.
Casper He'll, on Seventeenth street,
divided houOrs. Sometime during the
night, the liquor seeking gang had drop
ped i'm upon him, and finding the latch
string not out, tried to get in any way.
But they were not successful, and prob
ably still are thirsty.
There is not the slightest clue by
which 10 ferret out the miSCreantS. No
one saw them, and until morning no
one knew what had happened. And
nothing short of death-bed confession
will ever unrSvel the mystery.

Our BOARDING House.

One of the best things of the season,
"Our Boarding House" will be pro-
duced this afternoon and even
ing at the Opera House. The
comedy is full OF fun, from beginning
to end. The situations are surprising
and laughable, but not at all bearing on
the indicate. Last season, several
companies travelled with it, under one
management. The present troupe Is
collection OF those who were most
successful in the various characters.
On their present tour, they are winning
golden opinions, OF which the following,
from the ST. Louis Times, is a fair
specimen:
"Our Boarding House which had
series Of successful representations in
this city last season, was reproduced last
evening. The combination is strong
one, embracing as it does, the various
parties who. in the assumption OF
the characters in widely separated
cities, have proved themselves best
adapted thereto. The play is spark
ling society comedy, one OF the best OF
its class. The name at once suggests its
tenor, the gossip, the plots, the trials
and mishaps in a fashionable boarding
house. 1t is skillfully conceived and
well written, displaying a remarkable
and oftentimes humorous difference OF
character. There is a combination OF
fun and pathos, sentiment and broad
humor, which well sustains interest.
The play worked smoothly, indicating
thereby the perfection OF the arrange
ments. The scenery was handsome,
and in excellent taste. The general
hilarity OF the audience showed that
the comedy had taken a firm hold upon
its sympathy. 1t wade a decidedly
suspicious beginning, and will run
through the week with undoubted sue
