hlH series OF Revival Meetings at Rich
mOnd the Triumph of his Life.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-N1r. Moody.
the evangelist, arrived here this evening
from Richmond in excellent health
and spirits. He said that he had
achieved the greatest triumph of his
life in Richmond. He went to
Richmond under embarrassing cOndi-
tlons, yet he attained very great success.
He disabused the mind of Richmond of
the impression that he was unfriendly to
the South. His meetings were crowded.
Mrs. jackson, the widow of Stonewall
jackson, was among the prominent peo-
pie present. Mr.. Moody was presented
to her. MIR. MOOdy's meetings here begin
tomorrow morning. There will be three
meetings daily, closing Monday night.
The series is designed primarily
for Christians. The meetings are termed
Christian conventions. The tickets have
been issued chiefly to members of the
different evangelical churches through
their pastors. However, the meeting on
Sunday evening is designed tor the un-
converted. The meeting of Sunday morn
ing will be especially for the colOred
people of the city, and win be held in one
OF their churches. Mr.. Moody cannot
remain, he thinks, after Monday, and so
he holds these meetings for Christian
workers to stir them up to greater ac-
tivity.

Switch the Cause

EAsToN, Pa, Jan. 15.-The Lehigh VAL
ley passenger train, which leaves here at
oo'clock in the morning, was this morn.
ing thrown into Stony creek, ten miles
above Mauch Chunk, by a misplaced
switch. The train was under headway to
ascend the mountain and its speed could
not be checked in time to avoid an ac-
cident. The switch led to a siding long
enough to hold four cars. The creek is at
the end of the siding. The train kept the
track until the end, was reached when
the engine and three cars went down into
the stream. The last car remained on the
end OF the rails. Abraham Evans. the
fireman, leaped from the locomotive as it
went down, and was instantly killed.
Engineer John Rice remained at his post
and escaped without scratch. None Of
the passengers were hurt, but all were
badly shaken up. The locomotive was
badly wrecked and broken. AS the train
approached the siding track man was
at the switch removing snow from be-
tween the rails. He had the switch open
to do the work and forgot to close it.
KILLED ON THE SAME ROAD.
Charles Saylor, foreman of the Lehigh
valley car repair shops at Glendon, step
ped out of his Office there this morning as
train came along. The first car knocked
him down and cut his head in two. The

State of Indiana But the man who had
treacherously murdered his chances at Chicago
was stil lying in wait for him, and by some
means, Of which he seems to be master, be so
prejudiced Mr.. Cleveland that Mr.. Mcdonald
was again passed over.
The apparent indifference, not to say abiect
cowardice, of the friends Of Mcdonald has up
to this time been pitiable to contemplate. A
man by no means his equal in honesty Of pur-
pose and record as a public man has heaped
indignities upon him that a less patient man
would have resented long ago. 1t is none of
our fight, of course; but as lovers of fair play,
and anxious that Indiana should be represent
ed always at its best, we would like
to see the Mcdonald men crawl out
of their shells and assert themselves.
In submitting to what they have
they have been guilty of a pusillanimity that
is positively disgraceful. The indications
now are that the man himself is about to take
up arms against those who have so treacher-
ously and wantonly stabbed at him. Let his
hackers rally around him, and see that he is
properly supported, and he will get something
like justice yet, while Hendricks, of necessity,
must sink into the obscurity that environs
the position to which he has been
chosen. This is not urged with the
idea OF encouraging an emeute within
the Democratic camp for it would
seem that that is there already. But it is
consistent with reason to believe that Indiana
Democracy would be stronger than it is with
all its strong men pulling together, instead of
cutting each others Threats. Mcdonald has
submitted to act as pack-horse for years AS
an outside party, anxious only to see fair play
in the fight between Democratic factions, the
Journal would like to see Indiana's best Dem
ocrat get his deserts.

MR.. MCDONALD AROUSED,

1t is gratifying to know that at last Mr..
Mcdonald shows disposition to resent the
mean treatment lie has suffered at the hands
of a very ungrateful and treacherous friend.
In an interview, on Thursday night, being
asked relative to Mr.. Hendricks hostility to
his appointment to place in Mr.. Cleveland's
Cabinet, he said:
Nothing that has heretofore appeared on
that subject, either pro or con, has been either
uttered or inspired by me- and all that have
to say now is that, from the best information
/ have, Mr.. Hendricks has said nothing in my
favor, though possibly nothing against me.
In this respect his course has differed from
that Of every other leading Democrat in Indi-
ana, so far'as | know"
This is thoroughly like Mr.. Mcdonald, who
is one Of the most capable, dignifed and gen
tlemanly Democrats in Indiana This is the
first iutimation he has given of any bitterness
| of feeling regarding the treachery that
has cost him so much Approaching
the worth of such man, his admirers were
anxious that he be put forward at Chicago as
Indiana's candidate for the first place on the
Democratic ticket. The fatal mistake was
then made Of placing his interests in the
hands of man SO thoroughly saturated with
| jealousy of him, and so intent upon his own
advancement, as to never miss an opportunity
to covertly do him every possible harm. The
treachery of Mr. Hendricks, the adroit manner
in which he damned Mcdonald with faint
praise, and the way in which he stole the
| trust imposed in him, are familiar to ALL It
was one of the most contemplate tricks ever
played by any public man in the
history of American politics. But, to
all appearances, Mr.. Mcdonald was uncon-
scious of the wrong done him. his serenity
was unclouded, and he worked heartily for
the success of the man who had accomplished
his political assassination The Injustice done
him was so palpable however, that he be-
came undoubtedly one of the most popular
Democrats in the West and his chance of
going into the Cabinet was excellent, an honor
that would have reflected credit upon the

THE st. Louis Post-Dispatch, which is
nothing if not Democratic, says of Mr.. Cleve-
land
1T would be idle to affirm that he has risen
so fast and far by the sheer force of pre-
eminent ability; or that his record as sheriff,
mayor and Governor has demonstrated be-
yond all doubt his fitness for the highest ex-
ecutive Office in the world. He owes quite as
much to an extraordinary combination of
political circumstances as to his personal
merits, whatever these may be-"
This can hardly be called enthusiastic
praise, but it is what Republican papers have
been saying all along, and has, therefore, the
merit Of being true. By the way, if the
Dispatch will kindly catalogue his personal
merits, whatever they may be- it wilt graf

A FASHIONABLE tailor in Boston had diff
Guilty with his workmen and discharged them,
taking in their places journeymen who did not
belong to the union. The discharged union men
thereupon laid siege to the establishment en-
ticed the new employees off, so far as possible,
and to prevent others coming and to drive away
custom, organized themselves into a guard, and
paraded back and forth in front of the store
from dawn until dark. This has gone on for
several weeks no violence being offered and no
overt acts committed which would warrant the
arrest Of the offenders Finally, the besieged
merchant devised mode of retaliation which
seems likely to be effectual in Kidding himself of
annoyance. He engaged several negroes, dressed
them in fantastic costumes, and sent them out
with instructions to dog the footsteps of the
guardsmen, to turn when they turned,
stop when they stopped, and to other
wise conduct themselves as grotesque
shadows. This, of course, created
great merriment, and drew an immense crowd.
The tramping tailors became objects of ridicule,
and it required all their nerve, reinforced by
LIQUID refreshments served by sympathizing
friends, to endure the jbes and jeers of the null
titude. The crowds became so great as to inn
pede travel, and it finally became necessary for
the police to dispense the pedestrians with their
sable attendants which was what the merchant
wanted. At latest accounts he had made ar
rangements, in case the guard again appears to
add to the procession some colored damsels fresh
from the Carolina cotton fields They will be
arrayed in the height of fashion, provided with
immense hats and sunshades and directed to
walk beside the troubled tailors. This it is
thought, will be an entertainment which will put
an end to the persecution, as it is believed that
ridicule will kill striker more easily than care
killed cat.
