crowd in check till the whistle blew The OBJ
noxious men started in a wagon down Foster
street. followed by the wildly-excited throng.
The police did their best to keep
back the mob, but they were overpow
cred, and before the wagon was fifty
feet from the factory, driving ct breakneck
speed, some one hit the driver with a stone.
This was the signal for voley of missiles, which
fell thick and fast about the wagon. Several of
the men We're HIT but mono were hurt seriously.
The driver whipped his horses TO a galop and
left the crowd behind amid volley of ieers yells
and excavations. The mob then took short
cut to Felowss clearinghouse on Bowditch
court. knowing that the ''scabs" would be taken
there The men were safely housed before they
arrived. The crowd increased until 500 crazy
men and women were gathered about the house,
the women outrivaling the men in throwing
stones and threatening the sscabs." When
the first stone was fired Mr.. Fellows
rushed out with revolver and shouted.
Don't throw another rock or I'll shoot."
This exasperated the mob all the more,
and shower of stones ratified against
the house. breaking every pane of glass,
smashing the blinds. filling the dining-room
with stones, and smashing the crockery on the
table. just at this point the police came up,
and after hard fight. in which the officers used
the butts of their revolvers and the rioters
hurled voleys of stones, the mob was driven
from Salem, and with their aid the street was
cleared. Three of the rioters were arrested. A
dozen people were hurt in the scrimmage, but
they were hurried away, and their names are
not known. Four children were in Fellows's
house when it was attacked, and one of them
narrowly escaped being killed by large paving
stone which was hurled in at the window. After
dinner the men got out by back way and
hurried to the tannery before the crowd saw
them
During the afternoon the excitement steadily
increased and when the factory shut down at
o'clock 1000 people were gathered about the
entrance. When the men started for the board

The Huntsville Mo.) Strike.

ST. Louis. Aug. 8.-The Huntsville mo. J
coal miners have prepared circular. setting
forth their views on the strike, begun on May J.,
on account of the reduction in the price of min
ing from "a cents to 80 cents per ton. At the
interstate convention of miners and operators,
held at Kansas City, on July 49, 1885, resolu-
ton was passed recommending that the
troubles at Huntsville be made the subject of ar
bitration. The miners accordn ely prepared an
address to their employers, offering to arbitrate
their difference. Their proposal was for the
miners to select three men and the company
three, each of these three to select one more and
these two to select a third thus forming a court
of nine arbiters, to inform themselves thorough
iy concerning the situation of the miners and
business. and to decide the price per ton to be
paid for mining. The offer to arbtrate has been
refused by the operators. and war to the knife
declared against the miners. according to the
latters statement of the case The men have
accepted the gage thus thrown down, and pro-
tracted struggle will ensue.

one came claiming TO be ruler OF the Jews they
repudiated him. PLATE gave up 20 them.
There have been many such ac-
tons before and since that time.
In the common walks of life the same thing is
done. Men repudiate God and His promises,
that they may not stand in the way of the acqui-
sition of present good They say business can
not be transacted upon Bible principles. for it
loses custom and leads to bankruptcy This
is not true. The God-fearing man
is the most prosperous; even knaves want to
deal with an honest man. The speaker made a
strong plea for honest men in every trade pro-
fession or department of business. and
spoke Of the desperate state of things
where personal integrity must be snpplanted
for a financial bond against personal robbery
He referred to the standards as found in the
word of God for mans conduct in material as
we'll as spiritual things. but said that these are
constantly SET aside by man, who sets up his
own standards Of moral obligation.
and depends upon his own conscience
which becomes Munted by ignorance and its
non-education. In nine cases out of ten where
men go wrong it is because they follow their
own judgement, which is fallable. The Judgment
of God is invaluable and the one for all men to
follow. The speaker believed in the education
of the conscience, and that parents should cul-
tivare the moral side of the childs nature as
well as the neutral. He closed with an eloquent
portrayal of the Christian faith and position
as founded upon the prophesies of the Old Tesla
ment and the revelations of the New.

daring voyagers were William otis and George

trip about three weeks ago. The barreI-boat
was ten feet long. conical in form aud built Of
the best locust slaves. 1t was supplied with q
keel. rudder, screw-wheel and turret, with
glass covered peep-hoIes About three hundred
pounds of sand ballast kept it right side up
most of the time. The two men
lay back to back while passing
through the more turbulent waters, clinging
to handles made fast to the sides of the cask
Each man, likewise, kept on his own side of
the cask by means of a canvas sling made fast
to staples. The start was made from the Maid

40 P NJ. A row. boat lowed the cask to point
just above the cantilever bridge, where it was

MIR. sMALL,s EVENING SERMON.

Roberts Park Church Crowded to Its Full
Capacity to Hear the Evangelist
The auditorium of Roberts Park Church last
evening was crowded, to hear Rev. Sam Small
Mr.. Small expressed pleasure in having
an opportunity to again stand face to
face with so many of his Indianapolis
friends, Although Mr. Jones and himself
had been in so many different sections of the
country, scarcely day lad passed, he said
but that they had thought of the people of this
city, and had asked Gods blessing to rest upon
them. Although expressing himself as feeling
somewhat exhausted from the labors of the day.
having preached twice at Acton, Mr.. Small de-
livered most interesting sermon
The speaker selected these words as his text
'sPilate saith unto them, Shall I cruelty your
kingF the chief priests answered, we have no
king but Cesar" This question by PLATE and
answer by the chief priests is one of the
most natural dialogues in the history of Christ.
1t shows the tendency of human nature to seek
after the material things of this world instead
of the spiritual. The energies of brain and body
of man used for the purpose of accomplish
ing results that are uncomfortable and unpro6t-
able. Men refuse that which is promised
in order to take what is material.
Esau sold his birthright for mess OF pottage.
Man, in attempting TO appease animal appetite,
forgets the judgments and promises Of God.
Mr.. Small contrasted the self-denving Christian
with the man who followed the ways of the
world, and, continuing the subject of the text,
said: The chief priests were the heads of the
Jewish people; they held the highest Offices of
the Jews, and we're their leaders They
saw Christ setting up a kingdom and
followed by many people. and they called
Him a usurper Holding supremacy
over tho Jews. they refused to accept
Christ. PLATE knew of Jewish traditions and
laws, and said: Beware what you demand of me
as civil governor Shall cruelty your spiritual
ruler, the Son of Godg The chief priests, fol-
lowing their desire after material things,
answered: We have no king but
Caesar This was the first acknowledge
ment they had ever made te Caesar
as king They had been calling him usurper,
autocrat and tyrant, prosecutor of their praying
