"Can a Christian Go 10 the Theatre:'
At the Zane Street NJ. L. Church last
evening, Rev. J. B. Fitzpatrick, the pastor,
preached sermon with this taking title.
His conclusion was that Christianity and
theatre going are not compatible His
discourse was really an araignmeut Of all
popular worldly amusements- dancing,
theatre going, card playing, and
wine drinking. The speaker quoted
from numerous sources, ancient and
modern. giving the opinion OF
heathen, iDfidel and Christian, aud
showing the effect OF yoluptuous pleasures
on various nations In various ages. He
took the view that the growing popularity
OF what he included In the ermi'.sinful
amusements" was indicative Of Q rapid de-
cline in morals and religion, and ought to
be a source Of alarm 10 Christians. Thous.
ands OF dollars, he said are an.
nually carried away from this
city by itinerant companies, which
leave nothing as an equivalent but deiiled
hearts and debauched imaginations. He
appealed to his hearers, in the name OF
virtue, patriotism and Christianity, to turn
away from these thingR, 10 spend their
money for the improvement OF the mind,
the betterment Of the heart and the com.
fort OF home. - ii Gao llfstryi-
The sermon was listened to with the
deepest interest throughout by large con.

A few days ago james received letter
from the brother Of Wicher, the dead
detective. The writer, now resident OF
Colorado, wrote unsolicited, and began by
the statement that he had noticed in the
newspapers that the Indictment against
Frank James for killing his (Wicher's)
brother had been dismissed. He said,
furthermore, that before that time he had
been under the impression that Frank and
Jesse James did kill his brother, but was
now ready TO let bygones be bygones. He
hoped they did not kill him, and that
Frank would be able to disproye other
charges made against him. "ra

In connection with this matter an Incl.

sion OF the grand jury will be interesting.
Among the witnesses brought before the
grand jury was Jackson county farmer by
whom Prosecuting Attorney Wallace ex-
pected to prove Frank James completely
in the Wicher murder. The witness ad.
mitted that he know something about the
death OF Wicher, and was told to 60 ahead

no further use for that witness in the

emphasized in il KEEP CLEAR. lSery one
knows that we are about to pass through Il

right to demand that those persons who are
TO manage their concerns at or about the
polls shall keep their heads clear.
1t is not improbable-it is very likely
that Il. the yoting-places eXigenCies may
arise to meet which it is necessary that
men should be in possession OF m.clOuded
faculties. The slightest indlscretio1 on the
part OF leaders (appointed or seli.consti-
tuted) and busybodies may prove tie touch
sufficient to fire the passions OF men and
bring on violence. And yet 1t is An open
secret that the temptation is strong to for
tify ones self for the arduous duti's OF the
day by induIging in intoxicating drinks.
This will not do. Befuddled bT .ins are
unfit to cope with crises. None Int clear
faculties can render quick judgment in
emergencies.
Let all voters and more particu arly all
persons whose business il is to f-equent

the day OF election. The celebration OF the
victory may come aiter-if victory must

Officer George Fox yesterday had Just
eXtinguished the gas-Iamp at the corner
OF Leigh and Eighth streets when he
heard the rllmbling OF a wheelbarr.w a
short distance away. He awaited its ap-
proach. and discovered that it was under
charge OF TWO colored men. and that it
held wooden box nearly three feet
long, two feet high, and about two and q
half feet wide. The officer recognized one
of the men to be Christopher Baker, a col

charged with grave-robbing.

81 know you, Christopher" said MI.
Fox, "and | want to see the color OF your

UEon opening the box the policeman
saw the remains OF white man rudely
bent double and forced into it. The
sight was sickenng, and the officer closed
the lid, arrested the men. and made them
remove the remains to the Second police
station. The other colored man gave his
name as William Burnett.
The men were locked up and the corpse
was laid out in an ante-roOm OF the station,
where it was identified as the remains OF a
pauper named Pat. Shahan, who died al
the poor-house SUNDAY night. The body
was perfectly naked with the exception Of
pair OF socks. The head was bloody, the
scalp having been torn in wide gashes by
some means or other.
The news soon spread In the market,
upon which square the police-station
stands, and hundreds OF people cOngre-
gated to inquire about the matter. 1t wa,

body reached the statlon-house, and it rC.
mained there until between 0 and i(
O'Clock in the morning, when Captain Pa
rater had it placed in the coffin. which
had been brought from the almshouSe ;
after which it was carried away for inter
ment.
4 warrant was sworn ont against David
Parker, the keeper Of the dead-house at the
almShouSe, and he, together with Baker
and Burnett. were taken before Police
Justice ID. G.. Richardson for examination,
the first two being charged with unlaw.
fully and felOniously disinterring and dis.
figuring the dead body OF some person now
unknown. David Parker was arrested fol
unlawfully removing the body from the
dead-house.
Mr.. Samuel B. Witt appeared for the
Commonwealth, and asked for cOntinu.
ance of the case until next Monday, owing
TO the absence of important witnesses fol
the State and his being compelled to be out
Of the city for several days. The Court
granted the motion, and Baker and Bur.
nett were sent to Jail and Parker bailed in
the sum of $500 for his appearance at The
time named.
