Railroad Racket

G. j. Dempsey, foreman of the c., B.
& Q. round house, arrived home from
East st. LOUIS this morning having been
relieved from duty as deputy United
States marshal until further orders.
Dempsey carries Winchester rifle carts
ridge, which is two inches and quarter
in length, as an emblem of what he might
have done, had he been called upon to
shoot gun.
About forty freight conductors and
brakemen, representing every division on
the c., r. l. & P. road, held secret meet
ing at the Rock Island house yesterday
afternoon, and prepared a lengthy pre-.
amble OF resolutions to Superintendent
Kimball, asking fora new scale of wages
The conductors and brakemeu of this
road are paid by the mile, and according
to their request they ask for an arrange
ment similar TO that of the c., B. & @
and C. & N. W. where so many miles
is considered day
Conductors Stanton and Sullivan, OF
the c., B. & Q. road. came home from st.
Louis over Sunday, They gave graphic
descriptions of the late riot and excite,
ment attending the railroad strike. They
have had comparatively easy time of i,
themselves. as the strikers have not inter.
fered with the c., b. It Q. deputies.
The men in their yards are the only ones
that have not been served with notice
from the Knights of Labor to desst in
aiding the railroad companies. A crowd
of strikers pass through the yards every
day after holding meeting in their hall,
but they do not stop or in any way inter-
fere with the %" property. Whether
it is the formidable appearance of Stan,
ton, Sullivan and their comrades, with
Winchester rifles, and brace of bull dog
revolvers each, that causes this peaceful
state of affairs, is not known.

SAD SHOOTING ARRAY
One Chm Accidentally Shoots Another
at AndalusiS.
Grant Buffum Instantly Killed by
Harry Brookman.
A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY

A sad and fatal shooting ARRAY oc-
Cured al Andalusia last night. Grant Buff
fun, son of Ex-Supervisor John BufTum,
was.instantly killed by the accidental dis
charge OF revolver in the hands of his
friend and chum, Harry Brookman. The
fatal affair happened in John Brookman's
general store al o'clock. Brookman
and Buifum were playing with bulldog
revolver when Brookman jestingly point
ed il at Bufrum and to his horror it dis
charged and Buifum fell. 1t was thirty
eight ca!ibre. the bullet entering
the skull through the left eye,
passing through the brain, and
coming out at the back Of the head and
causing instant death. Buifum was
twenty one years of age. Brookman is
nineteen and is frantic over the af'
fair. Buffum worked on his fathers
farm, adjoining DR.. Bowman's place, {
mile and half out OF town, and Brook
man was employed in his fathers store
Brookman. few years ago, WORKED
in the lower saw mill in this city, and wa!
quite well known in the lower end OF
town. The terrible accident is another
illustr ton of carelessness in the hand

AT THE CHRISTIAN CHAPEL.
Rev. j. II. Wright's Answer to the
Question, "What Mast do to he
Saved" Last Evening.

At the Christian chapel last evening
Rev. J, II Wright took for his theme
What Must | do to be Saved2" and to a
large congregation, he spoke as follows;
NJ question should be easier for a
christian minister to answer, yet there Is
great difference in the way they do an ,
swcr it. The Chicago Times some time
80 sent a reporter to interview preachers
of various denominations, asking an an
swer to the question, What Must do to
be Saved?' They differed greatly--no
two agreeing fully. But Mr., Wright as,
serted that Gods word, if it be a revela-
ton, ought to enable everyone to answer
it properly, and stated it as his purpose
to show the scriptural answer. There is
promise of salvation from sin in the
bible and the question involves personal
duty. What Must Dor" Doing il a
deadly thing; doing ends in death" is a
foolish song sometimes sung Doing
| evil ends in punishment, but doing Gods
will ends in happiness, There is some.
| thing to be done by me, therefore, as well
as by the Father. Son or Holy Spirit.
The salvation spoken of is not from pow
erty, sickness, or even death, but from
sin. Thou shalt call His name Jesus,
(Savior) because he shall sape his people
from their suns" The bible contains an
answer to our question. but what part Of
the bible2 Each portion of the bible il
written for special purpose. The
Psalms do not tell us how to become
christians; neither does the book of Rev.
Citations. Acts of Apostles contains
full answer, both in words and example
just before Jesus assembled into heaven
he told the apostles to "go into all thu
world and preach the gospel to every
creature. He that believeth and is bap
tized shall be saved; but he that believed
not shall be damned" Nix. 16: 16. II.
also commanded them to preach repent
anee and remission of sins among all ma
tons, beginning at Jarusalem." Luke
"a: AZ. These things were in their com,
mission: 1, Faith; 2, repentance;3 bap
tism; 4, remission of sins. They mus
be true to this commission. Turn now t.
the book of Acts, (book of conversions
might be calle1 and see how, in dealin!
with inquirers, they answered our ques
ton.
| First example: Acts IS: 1884. Thi
is the case Of the jailer. To his question
the answer was, Believe on the Lore
Jesus Christ.
Second Example Acts 29:16. This i
the case of Saul of Tarsus. Starting GU
as prosecutor, he sees Jesus in Hi
heavenly glory. To Him Saul addresses
the question, 'What wilt Thou have M
