DROWNED.

This afternoon number of little boys
were in bathing at the foot of 18th street.
Among the number was Freddie Bogue, a
little boy about 10 years of age, who in
some manner was drownded before assis-
lance could reach him. 1t is supposed
that he was taken with the cramp, as he
sank without attracting the attention of his
companions. His continued absence soon
caused them to become alarmed, and
emerging from the water they fastened
to inform John Bogue, the father, of the
unfortunate affair. Freddie Bogue was
employed at Mitchell & Parsons store, and
was a bright and intelligent lad. He lived
with his parents on second avenue between
9th and 10th streets At late hour this
afternoon the body had not been recov-
cred, although every effort was made to re-
gain it.

sending the work to be done at the differ
ent penitentiaries as is sometimes the case
with marble workers. Ten men are now
employed regularly, and even that force
win soon be increased, as the orders are
coming in more rapidly than the work can
be completed.
Their patrons are not confined to the
three cities, but are scattered over a large
territory. Amorg the latest orders from a
distance, are those of Mr.. Sweeler, E. De
Groat of Van Buren,, Iowa, and Mr.. Currie
of Morrison, Illinois. The former consists
of monument made out of Clark's Island

Italian markle, while the last named is

Robertson s. Co., are convinced that
good work will be appreciated, and on this
principle they have now secured fair
share of the trade of the three cities, and
expect to materially increase it as time pro
crosses.

THE MINsTRELs.

Haverly's new mastodon minstrils, forty

and E. NJ. Hall, proved themselves very
popular and were repeatedly encored The
dancing was also very good.

groes, were arrested at Monmouth, H.,
and brought to Moline to-day, for robbing
the residence of Herbert Z. Thomas the

of it. was found on the persons of the
thieves, and each had on pair of pants
stolen from the house. An examination
was had before Justice Grover, of Moline,
to-day, and the accused held in default of
$500 for grand larceny This afternoon

From the Washington Republican

From the Washington Republican.
1t is very painful to be obliged to adj
dress the citizens of Washington upon the
scurrilous attacks made upon me through
the press. 1t is task | certainly should
avoid but for the duty | owe my friends,
staunch and true, in your beautiful city.
No year of my life was more pleasant, en-
cireled with more fragrant memories, and
gilded with more faithful friendships than
the year / spent in your midst. Welcomed
to your homes, rejoicing with'yOu in your
social articles, standing by your side at the
graves of your dead, meeting your love-
wreathed Youths at the marriage altar, and
addressing YOU week after week with the
joy and pride of one who was conscious of
possessing your confidence and esteem
the task is extremely painful to speak to
YOU of the Infamous thrusts which have
been made at my character and standing
as a minister. Deep are the wounds, but
they are also deadly. Stunned, for the
moment, by the awful blow, | am still
alive aud full of vitality. A man may be
floored once or twice and yet may win the
prize of contest. And so, | ask my friends
in Washington not to withdraw their con
tidenee nor withhold their sympathy for
the coming weeks will disclose my entire
and absolute vindication.
The specific chUrges against me-which
has given rise to multiplied scnndals-will
be fully investigated in the courts, and
will be found to be grossly exaggerated in
order to effect my ruin. Nor will it startle
those who have been intimately acquainted
with my relations to the Central Illinois
conference, when | say tibet at the bottom
of this vile, extravagant and most devilish
charge are Methodist ministers of
whom do not reside great ways from
Washington. / have facts to prove this,
and only wait for these preachers to fire at
me in order to publish to the world the re-
cord of their own vileness and hypocricy.
With reference to the charge which last
weeks Republican made, / have to
say that there is but one person
in Washington whom | can con-
ceive of as being base enough to make
it. The charge is an unqualified falsehood
and your informant is an unmitigated
liarl / dare him to make the charge in the
public print over his own signature. From
the wholesale statement that ] had victim
lied married ladies of your community,
the charge is narrowed down to what an
informant" tells you | said. The words
attributed to me never passed my lips; and
yout informant" attempting to stab ME
in the dark, must come out publicly and
receive the condemnation he would vain
have hurled upon me.
Now conclude with the promise that
your next weeks issue, i will furnish an
authentic expose of this whole affair, show
ing conclusively to my friends at Washing
ton the nature of the attack, and affording
you very readable history of the charac
ter of the brethren who have made it.

of fine marble, which they are finishing off
in the most approved patterns.
This firm has but lately established it
self in this city, but by turning out only
first class work, it has gained name and
trade second to very few in this vicinity.
Mr. Robertson, the senior member of the
firm, is workman cf mauy years exper-

IN this country, notably the Canadian cap

further off than it was ten years ago.
While he regards the religious condition
of the continent in Europe as anything
but prosperous, he sees large gain OF
vital godliness in the condition Of the
church of England. He believes that this
is proved by the expenditure, within the
last thirty years, of over 100000, 900 in
building and repairing churches and cath
edrals, and in spending $30,000,000 in
eleven years in the establishment and
maintenance of church schools. During
his stay in England, Bishop Littlejohn
spent much of his time with eminent dig
nitaries of the church, and had large OPP
