ReY Sam IOnes on Hell.

Some of our preachers have got to where science has taken them by the hand and led them out to where they See there is DO hell. They refer to hell as the "Ournt district occasionally and to the devil as the president Ot the burnt district Why, you cannot get one preacher ID ten to say hell m the pulpit; they profess the greatest respect for the devil. l haven't got any respect for the devil in the world l kick his name and trsmple his preseI ce about under my feet. A burning bell of brlm-
 stone. No hell? Now mark this eXpres-
 ion. and I hope the reporters will get this down as say it. In the last two
 hundred years there never has been a
 preacher that had power with God and
 influence with men that didn't beheve in a resi, burning. Scriptursl, birthstone
 hell. Now put that down Let us run back one hundred or two hundred years and take up Bunysn. Let us run back and take up Wesley. Let us run back and take up Luther. Let us come on down 10 Jonathan Edwards, and let us
 take Tslmage or Spurgeon, or Moody,
 and all the men of God that are moving
 the world today, and everyone of them believes 10 q genuine, burning, brm-
 stone hell.

An Austin New, dispatch of Septem-
 Der jth, says: This morning about o'clock NIT. Weed, prominent hveryman
 he1e, heard groans issuing from a small house occupied by his servants. He got
 up 10 ascertain the cause. and, going Co
 the room, asked what was the matter.
 The cook a colOred woman, replied that
 she was badly hurt. but knew nothing
 of how or when 1t occurred. NIT. Weed made an examination and fCuUd she
 had been dangerously wounded ln the temple with email instrument. He asked the woman where her daughter, aged twelve, vss. but could get nothICg
 satisfactory from her, she being weak from less O, blood. He then made a
 search for the child, and found her III a stable near the dwelling. She had been
 brutally sssulted and murdered, tss
 asme instrument used on her mother
 being thrust into her braln. Detectives were at once notified, and a couple of 1 blOodhounds were carried to the preml-
 see and were soon on the trail, which
 was followed to a livery stable about ! half mile away. Here the dogs IndI-
 csted the man they hal followed va,
 concealed ID the hay loft, and search being made a negro driver of one Oi tue | city water carts was found hiding. He ! vas taken to the scene of the murde-. and his feet exactly fitted the trall left | in the yard. He was lodged in the city jail, but strong threats of lynching hIm I were made, and he was placed m the | county jsil. This is the fifth servant \ girl mysteriously murdered n thIs city | during the past four months.
