THE EFFECTS OF REVEALS.


Perhaps to-day many will, while read
ing SAM JONES sermon in the REGISTER
or listening to the eloquence OF the great
evangelist. ask themselves the question;
what final results will follow from his
evangelistic works in this country?
The men who have protested con-
version under the preaching Of Mr.
JONES are numbered by the thousands.
Many of these converts are among classes
never before reached by the ministry
men who never attend church OF religious
gatherings. They came to hear the blunt,
sharp and often slangy sayings Of MR.
JONES in order to be amused and enter
tanned, and some gospel truth was 50 I'M
pressed upon their hearts that they deter
mined to change their course Of life.
Out Of all this there will both good and
harm come. There will be harm in the
encouragement given to the use Of slang
Men who want to increase their vocabulary
of rude slang expressions can find SAM
JoNEsS' sermons good text book.
There will Of course follow in all his
great reyivals. as Is always the case, re
taxation, or rather a period in which people
rush from the extreme otreligious zeal to
TO the extreme OF worldlineSs. After the
great revival, of Evangelist MOODY in sew
eral OF the American. cities, hld subsidized,
it is said that q period OF greater dissipation
followed than had been known for years.
Another thing is very noticeable after great
religious reyivalS, and that is the increase
of the inmates Of oar insane aSyiumS

time. People attend these day and night
for weeks. lose rest and sleep and subject
themselves to severe exposure. This eN-
posture, il persons are Of eNcita5Ie temper
ments and get to broolinS over the 'aw-
fuluess of their sins and the doom that
awaits them, " sends many \ victim to the
mad-hOuSe. OF the go unfortunate vic
tins in the asylum at Weston, the Super
intendent, Dr.. BLAND, says more are
there from this cause than any other. Of
course. similar results follow in the wake
of Mr.. JONES meetings.
But while these things are 50, the good
accomplished will far outweigh the bad.
While a small proportion Of the converts
will remain faithful, - yet this small pro
portion is 4 great number, and they are
scattered in all walks OF life to be lasting
influence for good What matters it il
some do learn little slang, some do rush
into greater worldlineSs and dissipation or
do their minds bodily injury, if humanity
is made better? Ii is better for sailors
upon leaky vessel To throw small part
of the cargo overheard, if they can thus save
the remainder This may seem 4 harsh
religious doctrine, but It is exemplitied in
naaure. This has induced TENNYsON to
say.
Are God AMI nature then At strife
That nature b7iugS such fearful dreams
How careful orthc type she seems
How careless Of the single life.

had no voice or presence in the meeting,
and the reason for the committee calling so
late was To accommodate Mr.. ElisSuer who
was at board meeting in MingO during
the day.
4 discovery has recently been made
whereby it is possible Mrs. Indiana Nc
Swords NAV become the owner of all the
land east Cf the county road to low water
mark in the Ohio river, from a point in the
neighborhOod of Jefferson street in this
city to the Ohio Valley Glass Works in
Bridgeport. 1t seems from a search of the
records that Daniel Zane, the father Of
Mrs. McSwords, and former owner of
the river bottom land from
jefferson street to BOggs' Island,
near Bellaire, never sold the river front of
apv of the land which he disposed of at
different times. When the old town Of
Canton, now Bridgeport and later Martins
Ferry, were laid out the ferry privileges
were very valuable, and brought more in
come than the land adjacent to the river
line. For this reason Mr.. Zane never
decided any lands away which would cause
him the loss of the river front, and thereby
saved to himselfthe revenue arising from the
ferry privileges. Many transfers of land
along the river, between the points named
above have been examined in the record,
and Il has failed to show where Mr.. Zane
ever gave any deed reaching to low water
mark. If the alleged possessions are real,
and rightfully Mr.. McSword's, it will be
A nice little fortune of itself, from the in
creased values caused by improvements.
rTbe remainder of the Martins Ferry letter is
crowded out for want Of space.

FAIRMoNT, August 2l.-The excite
mcnt attendant upon the recent disastrous
flood has entirely abated and people have
set to work to retrieve their losses as far rs
possible and to get themselves into as good
shape as they can under the circumstances.
The body of the last OF the SnOdcrly chill,
dren was recovered yesterday, being found
in the run near where it empties into
Buffalo creek, and not more than three,
fourths OF mile from home. The greatest
pecuniary loss suffered was in and around
Barracksville The following is only a
partial list of the damage sustained, but il
embraces the heaviest losers:
John J. Martin, 1900; w. T. Billigs-
lev. $4,000; A. F. and J. T. COnaway,
s.. 900; W. 4. Ice, $1,000; J. and A.
Shackelford, $500; Mrs. NJ. Mcclure, 500;
Barrack. NJ. J. Straight, James Hail. J.
f. Merrifield, John and Oliver Prickett.
Reighter BOor. c. C. Conway and Bur
CESS, were all heavy losers. All these
people live on or near Finches run
and it seems that here is
where the greatest damage was
done. Over in Winfeld's district. on
Prickett's creek, clean sweep was made.
Mills and milldams, bridges and roads.
fences and Outbuildings and everything
was swept away. On PharaOh's river and
Pawpaw the citizens had a similar expert
ence. Some farmers awOke and looked
out only to see their fences, Outhouses and
haystacks carried on 10 destruction By the
resIstless food. Way down to White Day
the disaster extended, and from every
where comes the same story of great loss
and destruction of property. William 7.
Billingsley and family had a narrow es-
cape from death. The house in which
they lived was the first to be lifted from
its foundation and foated off into the
current. When it moved out the chimney
fell down and enabled the family, which
consisted of Billingsley, his wife and three
small children, to get ont through the
opening upon the roof Thrice did
the house float ont into the
current and as often move
back into the eddy, and the third time
Billingsly made desperate but successful
effort to get of with his family. The
fourth round was the last one for the house,

ECHOES FROM THE VERDICT
AGAINST THE ANARCHISTS,


The verdict in the case OF the Chicago
Anarchists, rs was expected, is meeting
with the approval Of the press and the
sansible, law abiding, and home loving
people of this country. But there are two
classes not pleased.
One class is the Anarchists and their
sympathizerS. The 4rbciter ZcituRg, JolkS
ZeituHg, Fr,iheit and like Socialistic or
gans, OF course, condemn the verdict rs
shameful and an Outrage, " and loud
mouthed Anarchists in New York meet to
show their indignation. One of their
speakers says:
''Men and women, if you had all been
men and women the Chicago infamy would
not have occurred. IL Is strange thing
that Americans are convicted In America
for free speech; doubly strange that a Rus
sian has to rise in an American meeting to
speak in English the indignation that all
Americans should feel about the horrible
murder that is contemplated in Chicago.
No American had the courage 70 come here
and express his mind. When Jesus Of
Nazareth WAS about to die, he said some
thing to his disciples about baptizing them
with fire So now hear from the West,
from our condemned comrades, that seven
JesuSeS of Chicago, q great voice saying:
We will be baptized with fire, and We
shall baptize You likewise with fire Ii is
the fire of revolution, without which there
can be no progress. Let us take up the
fight where our brethren in Chicago left il.
Let their courageous work be like the Bib
lican leaven-and leaven to-day means dy-
Mantle Learn how to make. and get the
courage to use, dynamite and all other en-
gines of the revolution.
The other class that is not pleased is
the sentimentalists. There is . species
of siekly sentimentalism among many in
dividuals that would, if its wishes were
fulfilled, turn loose every murderer await
ing his doom in prison and every convict
serving his term in the penitentiary, to
again prey upon society by murder, rob
berry, incendiariSm and every way possible
to criminal invention. They would rather
ten innocent persons be robbed and muir
dered, than summary justice melted out
to one 6end- There are persons among
this class who value the lives Of the dyna-
mite fiends, more than the lives of the

HOW TO MAKE MEN LAW ABIDING

HOW TO MAKE MEN LA" ABIDING
II a significant fact, the world over,
that where classes of men own homes of
their own they are always on the side OF
law and justice.
A city or q nation where nearly all the
citizens are househOlders need have no fears
from Anarchy.
No other city in this country has so large
a proportion of the population property
owners rs Philadelphia, and the people OF
that city are better cOntented and there IS
less trouble from lawless outbreaks than
any other city of the United States.
In Switzerland, 465, 900 of the As, 900
heads of families own homes of their own,
and no people in the world are so law
abiding and opposed to radicalism.
But in cities like New York and Chicago
where so many thousands of men own no
homes, there are famed the flames Of An
archy. Such men have nothing to lose by
riot and incendiarism, and have perchance
hope Of gaining.
Il is, chen, a problem before our states
men to make it as easy as possible for men
to build themselves homes. Where the
land and wealth of country are monopo-
lied BY the few, there is danger. "Lati-
fundia destroyed Italy, " says the historian,
and i'll fares the nation that follows such
an example.
While the people Of this country are
now engaged in putting out the flames of
Anarchy that burst out in Chicago, they
should give thought TO removing the
fuel that feeds the flames.
