Lively Time ON a railroad Train.

Lively Time ON n Railroad Train.
EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL., March A.
For some time past police officers
have been on the lookout for two
shaFpers who had been victimizlHg
people at the relay depot. At a late
hour Tuesday evening, as the Louis
vile aud Nashville train was pulling
out, two officers saw these men get on
board. They ran after the train,
jumped on and pulled the bell rope.
The tain came to a BtandstilL and the
two officers then entered the rear car
with their revolvers in hand. When
the passengers caught sight Of the
glistsning weapons they thought that
the officers were train robbers, and
the women began to shrek, while the
men jumped from their seats and en-
deavored TO escape ont Of the forward
door. The intelligence that train rob
bers we're aboard was soon commune
Gated to the passengers in the forward
cars, and the stampede became gen.
ersl. The parties who the officers
were after took advantage Of the gen.
eral commotion TO escape from the
cars. Two passengers who jumped
from the train aud started to run were
just about to cross the track at the
rear end Of the train when the officers
caught sight OF them, and, thinking
they were the two men they wanted,
gave chase. The men did not stop
until several shots had been fred after
them. When the officers saw they
had not secured the men they were
after they concluded to place the
strangers under arrest, anyway, sup
posing they were members OF the
gang. The mistake was not discovered
for several hours. Some Of the lady
passengers suffered severely from
fright.

Rev. Wheat delivered an excellent
lecture on Prohibition last Thursday
night at the Baptist church. The house
was crowded with attentive listeners.
He said in his speech that the Mexico
LEDGER, a paper that he liked for its
energy, was beginning to wonder what
the Prohibitionists were going to hold
a meeting for In Laddonia.
The grove meeting at West Hartford
is still in progress, and was we'll attend
ed on Saturday and Sunday.
The S. s.. Convention commencing
here next Friday to continue over Sun.
day will, we think, be largely attended
as there is a good programme and much
interest manifested ia it.
There was a little fist fight last
! Saturday near town, which We woult
not report, only that it has been great
ly m~agnifted. The truth is, two younl
men, aged about Is each, felt that th'
other had insuited the others dignit,
by calling him a coward on a previouI
occasion, and they thought to shoV
manhood in it's true sense, they woul,
go out of town and fgh.. So they did

The Methodists for Prohibition.

ADRIAN, Mich, Sept. I5.-The Detroit
Methodist Episcopal conference in ses-
sion here has taken a bold stand in favor
of the Prohibition party. The Prohib.-
tion candidate for Governor was intro
dHced and made a political speech which
displeased some but pleased more. Then
the temperance committee reported stat
ing that the time was past when the
DIR unkard was an object of pity.
He should be punished, and the rum
seller should be placed in prison. License
laws should be opposed. 1t was not
proposed that pastors should control the
politics of their congregations, but It
urged them to recommend them strongly
not to vote with political parties which
legislate in favor OF the liquor traffic.
Church members were forbidden to rent
buildings for saloon purposes or go on
liquor bonds. The report was adopted.
