A METHODIST MINISTER'S PROTEST
indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 25 I'm .
sermon tonight on adultery, the
Rev. John Alabastcr, pastor Of Me
ridian Street NJ +. Church, the lead
ing Methodist church of the city,
strongly advised his congregation
against voting for Cleveland. In
the course Of the sermon he said:
"God forbid that | should he ready
to believe evil Of any man, much
less to say it. But if there is any
ground for the repeated stories con.
cernlng one Of the candidates for
the Presidency; # thirty ministers
in his own city are not liars, then
this Nation is to-day dlsgraced.
With the great political party which
nominated him | can sympathlze, on
the supposition that these things are
true, but were then unknown But
whether all is true or not, the party
nave the right 10 insist upon the
withdrawal Of such a candidate, and
the people ~ TINS great Niflsllih
land have the right 70 protest against
holding up such an example before
the young men of America. This
is not a question Of party 1t is a
question Of common decency. II is
4 question that touches every home
in the land. II touches every parent,
every young man, ever young wo-
men, every wife, and every daugh-
ter. say il plainly, the man for
President Of this great Republic
should, in matters Of chastity, be
like Caesars wife, above suspicion.
The temperance question, the tariff
question, and all other question are
secondary to the question Of pure
homes. The bare possibility Of
lodging a libertine in the White
House ought to send shudder
through every family 10 the land.
As husband, as parent, as son Of my
mother. as lover Of my country, as a
friend of all that is pure, and as a
Christian minister, ! solemnly pro-
test against such possibility"

The Dellar villa.

Editors Gri5'ne-Upon the inyi-
tation Of Mr.. Abe Deller, your cor.
respondent was ushered into the
presence Of his respected parents in
their beautiful city residence, who
conducted me at once through its
many brilliant apartments, which
may truly be called gems Of costli.
ness in finish and decoration An
attempt to describe it's interior beau
ty and costly magnificence, is, feel,
beyond my very limited proficiency
in arts mechanical and decorative,
vet / must venture q word or two in
praise Of what saw on this occa-
sion.
The building is picturesque and
novel in the arrangement Of its var
led apartments. 1t contains a eel
lar extending under the entire edi-
fee, provided with heating appara-
tus, laundry, vegetable store, ice
house, and place for coal and wood.
There are above it twJ full stories,
and above them an attic story. The
first story has fine piazza, and a
vestibule leading into wide hall.
On this floor are many apartments
diniugroom, library, pantry, kitch-
en-. remarkable for harmonious
design aud regular proportion. A
handsome staircase ascends to the
second story and the attic. The see
ond story contains front hall, a
rear passage, a large front cha mber,
a boudoir, bedrooms, dressing rooms
bathrooms, water-closets, etc, all
supplied with registers for the heat
ing pipes reaching from the cellars
A flight of stairs over the principal
stairway ascends 70 the attic, which
contains bedrooms, storerooms, etc.
On reaching the third floor, = flight
of stairs leads to the roof, which af-
fords an extended view of the city
and suburbs. The exterior building
il handsome, finely proportioned,
and embellished with several bay
windows and balconies, gracefully
treated gables and ornamental CHM
ney-tops, present most beautiful
suburban villa.
The grounds are tastefully laid
out, rising in undulating terraces in
yerdant lawn and dainty fower-beds.
We are convinced that among our
many fine residences, on which our
city may we'll pride itself, not one
can equal, far less excel, the beauti-
full Dellar Villa, Of Mineral Point

The lady reyivalist, Mrs. G. Wat
son, of Canada, occupied the pulpit
of the p. NJ. church last Sabbath,
per announcement in the city papers.
Both services We're largely attended,
a fact bearing evidence of the high
esteem the lady is. held in here. The
evening services were of a mission
airy nature, in which several good
speakers took part, including Mrs.
Watson. A very large crowd was
in attendance, and the liberal sub
scription of over $3.50 is proof of
the good will and christian spirit of
the people Of Mineral Point.

Robert M. LaFoHette.

Since the Republicans in this vi
cinity have found out more concern
ing the young gentleman nominated
for congress from this district, they
they have come TO the conclusion
that he is pretty safe man to lead
the republicans to victory. Indeed
evidence is not waiting that he has
already won the Congressional fight
in the third district. 1t will be re-
corded as n greater victory than he
won two years ago at Madison, be-
cause the position is higher, the is
sues are greater and the opposition
more determined OF course the
success of the law and morality class
and the clean set of Office holders
brought forward by that party for
the different public places showed
the taxpayers the wisdom of com.
pletely routing the democrats and
this will make the present canvass
easiei Mr. LaFollette is a man of
immense personal popularity. He
belongs to that class of self.made
men who are strong and popular be
cause they have not built up their
own fortunes by destroying those of
other people. lie is a mal of SOUND
judgement and practical sense AS
well as fxedness and honesty of pur-
pose If the days are coming again
when there will be less talk, more
work and a higher standard of NOR
a,ity in congress, such men as Robt.
| M. LaFollette should be sent there.
lie will be a useful representative
for this district.
There is GOOD reason TO believe
that the next House will be republi
/ can, and Wisconsin should have the
honor Of aiding in relegating the
southern element to a minority. Mr..
| Jones' record in Congress and out
shows that he is a free trader and is
strongly in sympathy with the mis-,
chievious doctrine of State Rights
and he is, therefore, not a safe per
son TO have in Congress. The rebel
I flag is still floating in the South.
fhe dominant elemant in the pre-
sent Congress is not loyal to th,
government on the basis of Union
and The equality of all men. The
/ business interests of the country will
4 be the safest of with the repubIi
cans at the head Of the government
Maine has shown coucluslveiy thai
the people are studying these mat
ters with extreme care and great IN
telligence. And we have the bes
OF reasons for believing that th'
same ideas prevail in Wisconsin
The election Of Robert LaFollettt
will forever redeem the Third Con
gressionaI district from democratic
rule. Those who consider the free
trade heresies of His Accadency
Burr Jones, will deem the object OF
retiring him worthy mighty effort
Let the people make their victory
doubly sure and give the whole re

light of number of youngsters who

Ir is amazingly strange that more
Democratic speakers don't get sick,
and ramble off the platform, as they
endeavor to make their hearers be-
lieve that black is white.
WE have new furniture dealer
who has put in a choice new stock
in the building recently vacated by

JouN M. OLrN, the prohibition
candidate for Congress of this dis
trict, delivered a speech in this city
at the Opera House, on Wednesday
evening Of last week. He is a speak
er of more than ordinary ability.
Though young in years, he has u
dignity of bearing and an earnest
nest Of manner which at once riyets
the attention. His aptness of Illus
tration, together with that forcible
and persuasive style of speaking,
which characterizes Mr.. Oliu, com
mands for him an attentive audience.
In the first half Of his speech he pre-
sented in an able manner the power
of the whisky interest, the incalcula-
bic in jury its use as a beverage was
producing, and the necessity of tenn
perance legislation. He then turned
ms attention to the present canvass,
and spoke OF st. John as the great,
good and eloquent man. Of Mr..
Cleveland as one whose private rec.
ord, in its social bearing, was such
as to render it an unfit subject for a
mixed audience. He then turned
his attention to Mr.. Blaine, the pat
riot and statesman, and treated his
audience to a rehash Of what most
of them had been reading in
the SIM, star and Democrat, and
when Mr.. Olin represented the
attenuaCed efforts Of this editorial
trio, with that pungent sarcasm Of
which he is so capable, that Demo
cratic crowd, which Democrat man
ayers had induced to attend the
meeting to "give it tone!!" seemed
to think they bad received a new
revelation, and appeared well salts

Ar a meeting of the leaders of
the cause for Blaine and Logan in
Mineral Point, held Saturday evening
last, it was agreed a formal political
meeting be held at the club rooms
every Saturday evening between
now and election, such as will prove
entertaining and beneficial to all
who attend. For next Saturday,
DR.. Vivian and G. S'pensley, Esq,
will provide entertainment. The
glee club of the p aud L. club will
be in readiness TO render some en-
livening campaign songs aud, by
the way, this club is composed of
some of the best musical talent in
the northwest, and is sure to give
such a musical treat as is rarely
heard. Arrangements for providing
a good wholesome entertainment for
the general public every Saturday
evening have been left entirely with
the executive committee, and you
may be sure of something of high
order and worth attending will be
the programme each and every ev.
ening. Turn out, everybody.

HoLY.-The senior editor Of the
Democrat, on Saturday evening at
the Opera House, tried to maintain
by illustration the strength of the
straddling platform which his party
has promulgated for the campaign
of 1884 Ii proved the most apt il
lustration of the platforms weak
ness, that we may expect to witness
throughout the campaign. When
scarcely in the center testing its
merits, Bro. Crawford fell through
into the yawning abyss Of despair
and torment. He, Of course, attrib-
utes it to the tariff plank, while the
protectionists Of his party are loud
in abusing the free trade plank.
Further investigation has proven
that neither of these planks were in
the platform, simply hole where
one ought to be, and it was through
this hole that Crawford disappeared.

THE Democractc meeting, which
was announced with some consider
able flourish for Saturday night at
the Opera House, to be addressed 10y
Mr.. George Crawford and 7. S. Ans
ley, Esq, was brought to an unex-
pected close by the illness OF Mr..
Crawford, which prevented the com
pletion of speech that, Judging
from what we heard, showed much
study and acquaintance with the
subject, and one worthy in all re-
spects of the high comment which
has been given it. The first part of
the evening was occupied by Mr. Ans
ley, who had the courage TO tackle
subject from which most Democrat
ic speakers shrink in dismay That
he handled the subject with some
fairness and ability must be admit
ted. However, it was observed that
he lacked that duency which has
rendered, on other occasions, his
speeches so acceptable; and he seem
ed to be in the predicament Of some
unlucky barrister whom circum-
stances had compelled to defend an
unworthy client. But then, it should
be remembered that he attempted a
task 50 great that all the lawyers of the
Democratic party can't accomplish it
between this and next November, and
that is to explain the official acts Of
Gov. Cleveland as to convince the
laboring classes that he is properly
entitled to their votes for president
of thes United States.

To SAY the least, it was amusing
to observe what a fraternal harmony
existed between the Prohibition can
didate for congress and the leading
Democrats of Mineral Point. 1t is
currently reported that they helped
defray the expenses Of the prohibit
tion meeting on Wednesday evening
of last week, and one of the most
prominent of them has said that they
could afford to pay 500 a night for
such speeches. But the most anus
ing spectacle of all was to see the
Prohibition candidate for congress
perambulating the streets with one
of the most active Democratic man
ayers and manipulators in quest Of
statistical information concerning
the local liquor traffic of this city.

James Morrison, employed at Smiley's
broom-handle factory and Is years of age,
met with a very severe accident at the factory
yesterday noon. He was at work as usual
In the neighborhood of his feet there
was counter-shaft revolving very rapidly.
BY some means the pants leg of his
right foot was caught in pulley attached to
this shaft. In twinkling his leg was drawn
beneath md over the shaft so that the foot
hung down Immediately in front of the poor
fellow. The machinery was stopped as soon
as possible and the boy rescued from his pain
full position. Drs. Bricke.t, Croker, Martin
and Webster were Immediately summoned.
On examination it was found that both bones
of the leg were broken below the knee, one of
which protruded out through the flesh several
inches. After consultation it was decided by
the physicians TO follow the conservative
treatment and try and save the leg. There
was some talk of amputation. The leg was
accordingly set and the wound dressed.
The boy has a widowed mother who resides
near the steam-mill on the east side and
whose husband was killed BY the falling of a
pile of boards several years ago. There
were six children left, two of whom we're
drowned three years ago. James is the
youngest.
