Died OF His Wounds.

CHICAGO, August 27.-A La Sale, Illinois,
special says that Private r. A. Purdie oil
the Fourth Regiment Illinois National
Guards, who was wounded in the face dur
ing the sham battle at the State encamp-
ment, near Ottawa, two weeks ago, died
there to-day from lockjaw, induced by his
injuries. Great Indignation prevails against
the First Illinois Cavalry Regiment, which
is held responsible for his death. State
ments were publicly made after the battle
that the cavalry had grudge against Ger
tain other regiments, and had gone into
the field with the preconcerted design OF
manning as many OF it's opponents as pos
sib1e. The vicious fighting and the number
of casualties that characterized the battle
excited much comment at the time. Pri
vate Purdie leaves wife and four children
in INDECENT circumstances. The coroner
will hold an inquest tomorrow and if the
guilty persons can be determined their ar
rest will be made forthwith

REV. MIR DOwNEs' CHURCH.
His People Stand by Him ana Do Not Be.
Iteve the Charges

BosToN, August 28.-The feeling in the
Bowdoin Square Baptist Church in relation
to the scandal affecting the pastor, Rev.
Mr.. Downes, is strongly in favor OF the
clergyman. This was shown last night at
the regular Friday night prayer meeting.
The room was crowded and several mem
bers OF the church spoke, strongly sympa-
thizlng with Mr.. Downes in his embarras-
sing position and expressing disbelief in
the reports detrimental to his good name.
Mr.. Downes spoke at considerable length
and related incidents where clergymen had
been grossly maligned and misrepresented
while engaged in administering consolation
to sick and dying women The feeling in
the church quite generally is that the con-
duct OF the men who broke open the door
OF Mrs. Taber's room was entirely unjusti-
able and that it was simply a continuation
OF the persecution which was begun some
time ago by the old members of the church.
The case will come to trial about the mid
die of September.
