AT THE OrERA HOUSE.
Rev. Geo, b. Kramer's Sermon
Yesterday Afternoon.

Rev. 60Os He IN AF0mOF0 8ofmON
Yesterday Afternoon.
The services held In the Operi
House, yesterday afternoon, by the
Household Of Faith Church, were at
tended by about 1900 persons. A
basket collection, amounting to &55.l0,
was taken up. Rev. Geo. R. Kramer
preached from St. John 3: IL. The
following are the points Of his dis
course:
"Eow enhancing and wonderful are
the sayings Of Jesus when We consider
his knowledge Of what he was. We
have his first utterances in the temple
at jerusalem: "Whist ye not that l
must be about my fathsr's business |! +"
In this text there is q brilliant glory.
Wherever Jesus went there was glad.
ness, and life was illuminated with his
presence.
Jesus Christ comes before us in his
superb radiance as the Light Of the
world. He is the Light in that he is
the source Of all wisdom. He 10 the
Light because he gives US the knowl.
edge Of God and because he is the
teacher of true doctrine. In vain we
90 to the prison Of Socrates, and in vain
we 90 to the gay elysiums Of antiquity
in its pictured glories. Jesus Christ 10
the Light Of the world because he Is the
pattern Of purity and because he gives
us joy. He IL the Light because his
religion is adapted to all men and be.
cause 1t will triumph over all the
world.
As all the stars and the moon fold
their banners before the light Of the
sun, 50 does all lights before the Light
Of the world. Who can form Q conoep-
tion Of him, who is beyond the dreams
Of ideality I awake thou that sleepest,
and arise thou from the dead, and
Christ shall give thee light"

Good Reports from western Penn.
syIvania and Ohio.
A special dispatch frsm PittsbuYe
says: The manufacturers and working
men Of Western Pennsylvania and
Eastern Ohio are especially stirred up
this esmpaign. In interviews with q
number Of the Pittsburg manufacturers
published this morning the universal
and emphatic sentiment expressed IL
that the success Of the Democratic party
would bs the downfall Of the tariff and
. decentralization OF the business inter-
ssts Of the country. Coming from such
conservative business men as B. =.
Jones A. N. Byers, and Colonel J. N.
shoonmaker; such an opinion has 60.
pecial weight on the community. The
workingmen, too, are moving. Among
the mills on the south side the work.
ingmen have formed clubs, and already
four Garfield and Arthur poles have
been erected In front of each Of four Of
our largest mills.
"That tells where we are," said one
ot tne most mnu6ntial W0fkm0n IN
speaking Of the matter to-day with q |
gentleman who resides in Youngstown,
In the heart of the manufacturing in
terests Of Eastern Ohio. He had been
making tour Of the mills in that sec-
tion In the prosecution Of his business
and not as Q politician. He says he
never saw such earnestness in any cam
paign. In Brown, Bonnell & Co.'S.
mill, employing 1000 hands, only 80
Democrats were found. The propor-
lion in the other mills are about the
Iame. "We are doing WELL" said one
" the boss workmen, "and as long as
he Republican party manage things in
he way they are doing now we will
lot vote for change" Captain
Alexander Foster, one Of our boss
Vorkmen, . lifelong Democrat and one
Vho has been elevated to Office several
lines by them, has Topped to Garfield. I,
Il am afraid Of the solid South" said
10. land want tariff, so will vote
Dr Garfield" These straws indicate
he drift Of the political breszes among
he workingmen and manufacturers.

General Grants "sectionaIism." !"

General Grants ''SectfOnalfsm."
From the New York Tribune.
This passage in General Grants
speech seems to have rasping effect
upon the Democrats. "Thers Is not q
precinct in this vast Nation where q
Democrat cannot cast his ballot and
have it counted as cast. No matter
what the prominence Of the opposite
party, he can proclaim his political
opinions without fear and without pros.
soription on account Of Lis opinions.
There are fourteen States, and localities
in some other States, where the Repub-
licans have not this privilege. That
strikes the Democrats as section
a." OF course. From the time OF
william H. English in Congress In 1860
down to the present, to state truths
like those about the Democratic party
has been "se,tionalism."

Coroner Taylor viewed the body, but
deemed an inquest unnecessary. There are
two theories advanced as 10 the immediate
cause OF death. The first is that he died in
an epieptic tit, and the second is that be-
ing seized with the fit and powerless to aid
himself he was drowned. There was ne
one in the house at the time OF Mr.
Wnston's death but the two servants
above mentioned. A son was in the city,
but not ut home. Mrs. Winston and The
Younger children are at Old Point.
