the sprague boom in Rhode Island, went
down to Providence last night to open the
campaign. Four thousand people were
in the building, and hundreds were turned

He seemed to avoid anything which covld

rRoh JuDAIsu 10 CHRISTIANITY.
A Baltimore Jew H.ptizcd Into His New
Pnith-The Address TO Him,


BALTIMORE, April 2.-It is so rare thing
for Hebrew to embrace the Christian
faith that st. Matthew'S German Evsngeli,
cal Lutheran Church was crowded yester.
day afternoon to witness the baptism OF
Victor Goldberg, who has been converted
from Judaism to Christianity. Every
seat in the large church, on the main floor
and in the galleries, was occupied,
and the aisles and other standing room
was entirely taken before the services be.
gan, so that many persons were unable to
gain access. A large proportion OF those
present were Israelites. Af.er prayer
appropriate 10 the occasion had been offer.
ed by Rev. Edward Huber, pastor OF the
church, Rev. Paul Werber, through whose
agency the conversion OF Goldberg had
been brought about, delivered short ad.
dress.
"This occasion" he said, addressing the
convert, "iS surely the most joyous OF your
life. There will be an entire change in
your mode OF life, your customs and man.
ners, and you will be as II born anew. On
this day you will be initiated into the true
secrets OF knowledge. In the Old 1esta.
ment you found joy and freedom for the
mind, but in the New you will find free.
dom for the soul. When driven from your
native land through persecution, you
thought that act curse Of God, but 1t was
not, for behold what that has
lead TO and how wonderful the work Of
God. Whilst crossing the Atlantic some
one broached the subject Of embracing
Christianity. His eyes began to open, and
be sought salvation. He did not know
where to 60 for II, but finally God sent
him to me. The Jews will not be able TO
understand you, and the step you have
taken. They will say you have been
bought; that money has been promised
you, or some other inducement held out;
but bear your cross bravcly and walk In
the path Of rectitude, and Christ will aid
you and all will be we'll"
At the conclusion OF the address Rev.
Mr.. Huber asked Mr.. Goldberg questions
in regard to the profession Of faith. He
answered in low tone. The blessing was
asked for him, and Goldberg was declared
a Christian. Goldberg Is about % years
old, one Of the Russian refugees, who ar.
rived here about sixteen months ago, and
was assisted by the aid committee in New
York as apeddler.

Special Dispatch to the 1ntelligencer
SrEuBESvu.LE, O., April 2.-Upwards Of
three thousand votes were polled here
to-day. The election was comparatively
quiet. The betting, which had been going
on for the past two weeks, continued up
until the hour Of closing the polls. 1t is
estimated that ten thousand dollars will
change hands tomorrow upon the result.
At this hour It is estimated from the
returns that James McConville, Democratic
candidate for Mayor, is elected by not less
than two hundred majority. Finney, for
Marshal, Republican, is elected by small
majority. Three Democratic councilmen
are elected, but the Republicans will have
a majority in that body. The result is
attributed 10 the large amount OF money
used BY the McConvile men. The Repub.
licans were united, but the floating
vote in their ranks was influenced 70
support the Democratic candidate.

In the Sixth ward this morning young
man was brought to vote for McConyille,
who was under age He was challenged
byJohn Hamilton, and the examination
BY the judges showed that he was not only
under age, but had not been in the State
long enough to become citizen. Hence
his vote was rejected, which 80 angered
James Coulson, who was working for Nc.
Conville, that he struck Hamilton. The
latter drew his revolver and told Coulson
to let him alone. He walked away, Coul.
son following, when he turned around and
told him not to come any further, or he
would put bullet through him. Coulson
then stopped. A negro voted In the Sixth
ward, 1t Is also alleged illegally, and Of
ficers are on the search Of him this alter
noon. a
The McConville men in the Fifth ward
started report that Mayor Marion had
voted for McConville, which was untrue, as
he voted for Love. The Mayor this alter
noon removed Policeman Kinney for cir
culating the report. In one case an effort
was made at several places to vote party
by the name Of Dunbars. He finally got
bis vote in at the Fourth ward. An afti-
dayit against him for illegal voting was
made by Robert Love, and Dunbars was
arrested, and is now behind the bars.
