this morning, 1t was run into by another
wagon. The shock and confusion attend
ant upon the collision frightened Mr..
Knowles horse and he ran off, dashing
down Thirty-second street at fearful rate.
The few pedestrians In the street gave him
right of way without a protest and lie con-
tinued his course until he reached the Third
Precinct Station, where the wagon struck
the hitching-post and came to a STOP while
the horse-the harness having given away
continued his way until he arrived at the
corner Of Thirty-second and Water streets,
where he was caught. The harness was
badly injured and the wagon had the shafts
splintered, besides being somewhat shaken
up, and the horse was much bruised.

CHICAGO, March 2S.-The Rev. Sam
Jones, preaching to-uight before a great
crowd, ended his discourse with state
ment which created a decided sensation
among his auditors. The declaration was
to the effect that he had quit the use of to-
bacco. Said he:
1 consecrated myself to Christ thirteen
years ago, and have since tried to live rightly,
but 1 find have a habit which is called
stumbling block to others by good Christians
in the North, and announce to you tonight
that you can say Sam Jones has got no habits
that will be a stumbling block to anybody.
Tremendous applause. Whenever I find
have about me anything that may prove
stumbling block to keep others from Christ,
it shall go down forever. l ask your prayers
for me. ] have had n fight that no one knows
anything about. l give God the glory and
you the benefit, and if I do no good in Chi
cago, you may thank God that Chicago has
done some good to the poor little pale
Southern preacher. Applause.
The ministers who have been laboring
with Mr.. Jones to induce him to quit the
use of tobacco gathered about and shook
his hand and congratulated him.
