Resigns His Passionate.

Rev. Henry w. Jones, pastor of the
North Congregational church, sur
prised his congregation ut the close of
his Sunday morning service by an
nOuncing that he should at no distant
day ask for a dissolution of the pas
toral relation. He said that although
he had recovered from his illness of the
early summer, he felt that he ought
not to try to pass another spring in
this climate. This announcement came
to his people wholly unexpected, as no
intimation of such an intention had
been given any one. Although in
view of the risk attendant upon con-
tinued residence in Il climate that has
proved so unfriendly, such step may
be for the best, it will be most deeply
regretted by the church and cOngrega-
ton to whom Mr.. Jones has become
endeared by faithful pastorate of nine
years. Mr.. Jones is preacher of I'M
usual ability, his power lying largely
in the direct and terse language with
which he presents the truth, always
bringing something fresh and practical
to the minds of his hearers. He is yet
in the vigOr of his life, aud we see no
reason why with Il change of climate
many years of usefulness are not be-
fore him.

face cut and bloody, aud otherwise in
a bruised condition. He at first thought
he might have been assaulted, but on
reflection the last he recollected he
was at the barn taking care of his
horse. and it is believed he may have
tainted and fallen, and in a bewiidered

quite rainy and dark, a fair audience

very pretty song from Mrs. McVickar,
a sister of Mrs. Wallace. The concert
throughout was warmly applauded
and several pieces were repeated.

Election News.


Since the last issue of The Caledo-
MAN went to press, the election news
has been of variable nature, al
ternately exalting and depressing men
of both parties. In our last issue we
gave all available and authentic dis
patches up to the time of going to
press, and the unfair criticism that The
CaledOnian gave one-sided news loses
it's weight when the fact is known
that 4 vain search was made for tele-
grams of another complexion. The
people were kept advised of the state
of affairs by means of The CaledOnian
bulletin, upon which were shown the
latest reliable dispatches and the states
classified according to their results.
Cleveland's election was thus indicat-
ed, while an ardent organ was loudly
claiming New York for Blaine, and by
having more reliable information the
tempted to Gull it from an untrustwor-
thy source. Some of the dispatches
alleged to have been received were so
preposterous that no attention was
paid to them in the bulletins, and at
ter-events justified the wisdom of the
decision. After the election of Cleve-
land became an assured fact, the Blaine
men pinned their faith on the POSSIBLE
ty of the official count revealing tech
nical or clerical errors that might re-
suit in Blaine's favor.

ONE Of the results of the labor
troubles in the mining districts Of
Pennsylvania is the revival Of the
notorious society Of Molly Maguires. /"
This infamous organization has for
It's principal object the terrorizing of
peaceablc workingnen, mine owners
and others who do not conform to the
peculiar ideas of labor and wages
held by its membership. The MUIR
ders and other outrages of these Sc
cret bands few years ago aroused
public feeling to such an extent that
. concerted attempt was made by the
State and local authorities at their
suppression. Many of the Molly
Mcguire brotherhood were arrested
and executed for their crimes, and
others were sen fenced to long terms
OF imprisonment. These vigorous
measures had the effect of breaking
up the organization, and until recent
~ nothing has been heard Of them.

AMONG the crimes for which law
ct the best can provide no adequate
punishment Is the firing of buildings
in which human beings are known to
be living at the time The enormity
Of this offence is heightened when the
building set on fire stands in dense
" populated quarter of city, sur
rounded on eli sides by other build
ings, many Of them of highly infam
mable material. That any person
not IN absolute fend could deliberate
" start . conhagration in such a
place, whose probable results in a
wide spread destruction of life and
property it Is impossible to foresee, can
hardly be imagined. Yet q number
Of disastrous fires of recent date, have
been traced to incendiaries. In some
instances it has been done for the
evident purpose Of satisfying person
Il revenge; in other cases to enable
parties to recover insurance. The
law defines this crime as arson in the
first degree. The penalty is heavy,
but the trouble is that it cannot be
made heavy enough.

A MINISTER'S GOOD FORTUNE.
Rev. David Walk Suddenly and Unexpectedly
Finds Himself Rich Man.

For thirty one years Rev. David Walk, pastor
of the Central Christian Church. of this city, has
plodded along combining his energies to preach
ing the gospel, and paying no attention to the
accumulation of worldly goods. 1t is we'll
known fact that ministers seldom be-
come millionaires through the salaries
paid them and Mr.. Walk proved no exception.
By careful saving, however, he managed to lay
by about 81, 800, and one day, many years ago,
visited the West during his vacation. In his
day dreams, Mr.. Walk had looked forward to the
time indefinitely located in the sweet by and
by, when he could retire from the pulpit and
settle down to spend his declining
days at little suburban county
seat, surrounded by the comforts of
at least modest little home While at Kansas
City he saw little piece of ground some dis
lance from the town, which, from its location,
took his fancy. Here is the very place have
been looking for" thought Mr.. Walk. Some
day will come here and settle down by this
quiet little village and enjoy life in my old age"
He made bargain with the owner and purchased
the tract with his 81, 800 Years rolled by and
the only returns Mr.. Walk received from his in
vestment were in the shape of demands for taxes,
which he paid with reluctance and wished he had
his money back. What picnic could have
with that 81, 800 / locked up in that profitless
farm said he to himself musing after the man
ner of the worldly But he paid the taxes and
stuck to the property.
About week ago the fact that
he still owned the farm was brought to his
attention by telegram from Kansas City asking
if he would take $ll. 600 for the tract He was
amazed but after reflection concluded that the
person making the offer was lunatic Of whom
it would be wrong to take advantage, and he re-
fused. He wrote to the gentleman that he
hoped to make the place his country seat, some
day, and didn't want to sell. He was more than
ever surprised when the answer came that the
place was now in the heart of the
city, and would not do very well for
farm. This put Mr.. Walk to thinking, and he
wrote to other parties asking about the worth of
the property The information thus obtained
revealed the fact to him that the property was
probably worth in the neighborhood of 500, 600
Since that he has been offered $50, 000 but he
refused point blank.
Now that he finds himself suddenly rich the
reverend gentleman is preparing to enjoy the
fruits of his investment. He will probably re
tire from the ministry at the close of his year
in April, and will, after spending year in look
ing after his business matters, will 60 to Pal
estine to spend year OF more.
