to-day at the Second Baptist church at
ii A. NJ, at Marshall-Street Christian
church at s P. NJ, and at Trinity
church at s p. NJ, the two former to
be addressed by Mrs. Chaplin, who will
also speak at Park-Place Methodist
church on Saturday night at S o'clock,
and at the Fifth-Street Methodist
church in Manchester on Sunday
morning at / o'clock.
Mrs. Sallie F. Chaplin gave another
of her charming Bible readings to
a crowded house at Union-Station
Methodist Episcopal church yesterday
morning. At nigh. Leigh-Street Bap-
tist church was literally packed to hear
her deliver an address on temperance.
1t is wonderful how soon she can get
hold OF an audience, and how they
seem to hang upon her every utterance.
Born and reared in the South, she is in
tensely southern in her feelings. She
seems at once to secure the sympathies
Of her hearers, and they never tire of
listening to her earnest, heart.spoken
words.
Last night Captain W. G. Dutton ad.
dressed a very good audience at the
Second Baptist church (colored) in favor
of local option. Rev. Mr.. Watts read
a chapter in the Bible, and prayer was
offered by Frank Davis.
Rev. William Troy, pastor of the
church, made few remarks heartily
endorsing the objects Of the meeting,
and spoke in favor of the great move
ment now agitating the people. He
introduced Captain Dutton, who spoke
for over an hour in an earnest strain
and carried his audience by his elo-
quence.
Rev. Mr.. Watts, Of Moore-Street
Baptist church, followed in a few forci-
BILE and practical remarks.
Professor Oliver also spoke in favor
Of local option.
A unanimous vote Of thanks was
rendered Captain Dutton for his address.
A temperance meeting was held at
Old-Market Hall last night-GeoIge
W. Mayo, chairman Of the City Local
Option Executive Committee, in the
chair. The meeting was opened with
a very fervent and impressive prayer
by Rev. II. C.. Cheatham. The chair
man then introduced Mr.. Edgar Allan,
the orator Of the evening, who held his
audience for an hour and half in a
speech which is said to have been "of
great power and eloquence, which was
continually interrupted by applause,
and which varied from the humorous to
the pathetic in very happy manner"

The case was argued by Messrs.
William L. Royall and John Lyon for
the plaintiff and Attorney-General Ru-
fus A. Ayers for the Commonwealth.
The jury retired, and in a few minutes
brought in the following verdict
/" We, the jury, find for the plaintiff
and assess the actual damage at $3.50"
Mr.. Ayers moved the Court to dis
miss the suit and not enter judgment,
because the suit did not really and SUBJ
stantially involve dispute or con-
troversy properly within the jurisdic-
ton of the court, the jury having re-
turned q verdict for less than $500.
Counsel for the plaintiff claimed that
the case was properly within the juris-
diction of the court; that the bona:fde
claim for exemplary damages exceeded
$500. The Court held that it had ju-
risdiction in the case, and that it was
in the discretion Of the Court whether
the costs should be charged against the
defendant or the plaintiff, and ruled
that they should be charged against the
defendant.

The Young Roys.

A gentleman well known in western
cattle circles a few days since paid a yisi,
to the notorious Young brothers in their
quarters in the Blackfoot jail. The i'm
prisoned ''rustlers' we're in very pool
spirits. They seemed to thoroughly re-
alize that they had at length reached the
end Of their long career of crime, and
that they had defed the law for the last
time. Bill" who liz known in the prison
by the name Of johnson, was especially
weary in heart. He expressed a strong
desire to see his brother Claib, at present
somewhere in Wyoming, but he said Claib
was afraid to visit him on account OF an
accusation hanging over him in Idaho of
murder.
The prisoners are very probably per-
fectly correct in their view OF their own
cases. At present there does not seem to
be the ghost Of a chance of their escaping
long terms in the penitentiary.
Associated with the two Young boys in
their latest crimes. and a companion in
the Blackfoot jail. is a young man named
Lovctt. This prisoner has lately been
identified as an escaped Texas convict,
and is said to have a desperate record.
