Only a Baby.

One sultry day last summer at a
time when children Of the poorer
class in Philadelphia were dying by
the scores every week, a bloated old
man staggered uS the steps of ply.

And n sailor on the stormy sea,
Flyi through whirling foam beneath the

Unwilling OF celestial worlds afar,
And Knowing nawght of all the shining

My glance would single out thy ray serene.

Yes, dear one, thou art these to me, and more;
Ny flower whose radiance passeth all decay;

My star, to guide my steps to perfect day;
My hope In earth s dark dungeon OF despair;

RELIGIOUS.
A Pure Heart.

Now what is a pure heart? 1t is
heart which finds its whole and only
satisfaction in God, which relishes
and desires nothing but God, whose
thoughts and intents are ever occu-
pied with God, in which al that is
not God is strange and Earring; which
keeps itself as far as possible from
all unworthy images and joys, and
griefs, and all outward cures and
anxieties, and makes all these work
together for good; for tile pure all
things are pure. and to the gentle
there is nothing bitter. Amer.
This pure heart is the purchace Of
the SaviOrs blood to every child Of
his, and everyone who has known
the fol giveness of sin through faith
has had foretaste of this sweetness.
But the cares Of this life, and the love
of other things entering in, may
have made it but Il foretaste; but its
continual enjoyment is rs much the
purchase of Savior's blood, through
the santifyiDg power of the Holy
Ghost, as the forgiveness Of sins.
Great us this gift is, 1t does seem to
me that by sovereign grace it is mine.
How my heart melts in gratitude to
God, through our Lord Jesus Christ,
for this unspeakable gift-a pure
heart. This tells Ole whole story
this is to be one with God: this is to
walk with God by faith as did Enoch.

TERRIBLE DEATH FOR TWO YOUNG MEN.
Sleeping in Burning Stable, They Are Suf-
located Before Help Reaches Them.

The stable of h A and c. F. Wyman, in the
rear of 388 North Tennessee street. burned at
1:30 o'clock this morning, and in it were two
young colored men, George and Walter Wynn,
brothers. The alarm was turned in from the
tower while the department was returning from
the fire at Elevator G, and there was prompt
response to the call. When the fremen arrived
there was not person on the ground. The
f1remen were bursting open the doors of the
first floor, when they heard means above, and
rushing up to the second story md into the
sleeping room of the two young men,
found them both dead from sufocation.
The fire began on the first floor,
near the only stairway and cut off this, their
only means of escape. The fremen say the
Wynns were at the elevator fire half hour be-
fore they were found dead. and it is supposed
that on returning home from that fire, in pass
ing up to their room they dropped lighted
cigar in the hay on the first floor Being tired,
they soon dropped asleep after getting in bed,
and were not awakened until they were in
helpless condition
The two brothers were brought to this city
about four years since by Ingram Fletcher, from
Macon, Ga. They have since been variously en-
gagged about the city, as servants and hack
drivers For several weeks Walter has been
employed as bell boy at the Bates House, and
WAS considered very faithful servant. he
worked only in day, and slept in the room in the
stables at night. George was employed by the
Messrs. Wyman in taking care of their horses
and carriages.
So far as could be learned they have no rel

DIAL. but her whereabouts could not be ascer-
tanned this morning.
The bodies were got out of the building by
the fremen before they were charred, AND were
taken in charge by Tutewiler, the undertaken.
The fire was under such Roadway when the
engines arrived that mono of the contents could
be saved. Five horses, valued at $500 each. a
fine cow, phaeton buggy, considerable hay and
corn were burned.
The barn was situated nearly square from
the residence of the Messrs Wyman, and they
knew nothing of the fire until after the fremen
arrived and awoke them,~
The horses were insured for $3.50 IN the Ger
man Mutual and there was 5000 insurance on
the building in the Ktna. The total loss will
probably aggregate 81 900.
Elevator Z, at the corner of Walnut street and
the Lafayette railroad. caught fire III the upper
story at 1890 o'clock this morning it is supposed,
from spontaneous combustion. There was an
alarm promptly turned in by the night watch
man of the building, and the flames were extin-
guished before they had done any material dam
age. There was small quantity of grain dam
aged by water, and the entire loss will probably
be $200-fully insured

Tho Day in the Different Wards.

First Ward-The vest-pocket vote had
strength that threw prediction off its line of
probability, but enough of it was ascertained to
pat Bynum, Sullivan and Sahm in the rear. In
addition there was consid cradle open scratching
by Democrats, and. some by Republicans in ia
vor OF Bynum. The colored vote came up
squarely to the Republican appeal, but some of
the white Republicans favored Mitchell. while
the Prohibitionlsts offset Taecart's gains by yot-
ing for Merrill The latter kept even with his
ticket but Loftin. for treasurer, had Slight adj
vantage. Bynum received appreciate
strength from the workingmen. large crowd
was at each of the three polls.
Second Ward-Tne features of the First were
found here except with more marked gain for
Bynum,, it being his ward.
Third Ward-Democrati scratching on the
county and congressional tickets went along I'M
restrained throughout the day A in the other
two wards. something near full vote was being
polled. Tageart got two votes to Sullivan's one,
notwithstanding the purchases they made.
Here the vest-pocket vote had prominence that
was terrifying to the Democrats. 1t rasped
Bynum, afflicted Sullivan. and treated Taggart
BY no means gently. The Democrats asserted
that the Republican, scratchers caused stand
off but the proof was present of significant net
gain for the latter.
Fourth Ward-lf the Democratic hopes were
based on the voting here as it progressed, moth

the last ticket had been cast, and
they were left TO tell the tale that
an election had been held. For the first time
word Of hope was spoken for Sullivan. He was
suffering from the scratcher. but the effect was
nothing like that of the e-i spirit among Bynum's
enemies. In the second precinct the vote was
light, and the laborers vote went q. the call of
his organization. Bynum Jared better in this
precinct while Keaiiney stepped ahead of his
ticket
Fifth Ward-The congressional race in this
ward VAS supposed to be largely controlled by
the important secret vote that was cast. 1T IA
vored Harris in the net results. In the second pre-
cIuct Taggart was ahead OF his ticket, while IL
the first Merrill showed decided gains. Bynums
losses appeared to follow the general order that
began IN the First ward, while Sullivan
had poor showing for success if

Republican wards enter into the returns. Later
information will be given in another edition.

How the News Was Received at the Head

At the Democrats State central committee
rooms there was sn everchaneine throng as
Democrats of high and low degree dropped in to
hear the news and dropped out again no wiser
than tnev came At the head of longrtable in
a room furthest removed from the vulgar herd,
sat Governor Gray. vigorously putting. a cigar,
while about the table were gathered Eb Hender-
sou, ohm Cooper, Jackson Landers, r. O. John
son and other anxious souls. L. D, Moody had
just impaired the information that Senator Har
rison had given mis- opinion that all the Repub-
lcan representatives on the county ticket,
including the joint Representative for Marion,
Shelby and Hancock had been elected, and that
the Republican State ticket had probably been
elected. The Senator's surmise thus delivered
received with silence and heightened faces.
Various grapevine dispatches then began to float
in. nearly all of them disquieting Among these
was one giving out that Shelby county had gone
for Bynuin by only lo0 and another that
Madison county had given Bynum 800 majority.
little later another rumor came in that By
mum had carried Hancock by about $50 There
we're no dispatches except from PARKWAY places
that New York city had elected Hewitt, and
Ohio was rolling UP Republican majorities.
In one of the outer rooms, James King, vet
eran, carried dismay TO throng of listeners by
.aying that the vote in this city showed the Re-

northern wards 80 per cent. OF their vote; that

he had no doubt they had done as we'll over the
State, and the Democratic goose was COO ked,
though he didn't think the Republic
ans had carried the Legislature Judge
T. u Buskirk, who has returned from
Washington to vote, gave pictures of life at the
Nations capital TO another group, while small
knots of sad-looking men pinned their faith TO
Tom Taggart, and hoped he had pulled through.
Along the streets were crowds of Republicans
serenely confident that they had carried the day
The Democrats were downcast, but with a faint
hope that Taggart and Judge Taylor had been
elected
The Dsnison House Office and the State COM
mittee-room were filed with Republicans but
here. as at Democratic quarters there was a
provoking scarcity of news There were stray
scraps OF information. chiefly personal opinion,
regarding the congressional race in the Seventh
district. Col. George w. Parker, of Pen
that Madison county could not be counted upon
for more than 459 for Bynum, a report FROM
Hancock county gave Bynum 250 and tele
gram from lthamar Squirting. of Shelbyville
gave as his opinion that Mr.. Harris had carried
Shelby county. None of these surmises were
based upon anything more substantial than par
tisan bias and preference.
At the county Republican committee roons
not less than 800 persons were gathered, and
among them representatives from every ward in
the city, 1t was after IL o'clock before any re-
turns began to come in, and then they came
very slow. The first to come was the third pre-
clnct or Center township, which showed Re
publican gain of 38 over the vote of 1884 All
the returns were read as they came
in. and those that came in before mid
night did not elicit three sous
ing cheers from the crowd. On
outside of the rooms there was consi able
betting that the entire ticket would be Nted.
The members of the county committee received
verbal advices from nearly all the wards during
the evening, all of a very encouraging character,
and they were confident that the entire ticket
would be elected by majorities ranging from
fifty to five hundred. The reports that came in
from the out townships all showed substantial
gains, and the committee based much of their
confidence this fact
There were many hundreds of callers at the
Journal office counting room to hear results or
at least get pointers as to the outcome of the
election. The meager reports that were received
were read and they hungered for more. The
crowds were chiefly Republicans, with here and
there a Democrat or SO who had squeezed
in to hear the news. On the local ticket
there was prevalent opinion, in which
the wish was father to the thought,
that the entire county ticket had been elected.
but there were many who grudgngy conceded
that perhaps, in the scratching, one or two Dem
ocrats may have been elected A few horns
we're brought out but not many had been
sounded before the jubilation stopped, the
performers being induced 70 wait for a certainty.
