NO MURDER AFTER ALL.


The churches of the city will unite in q
grand temperance rally at Dohaney's opera
house this evening. Inasmuch as the motives
of the movers in this matter have been i'm
pugned by the democratic organ of the city it
is but fair to all concerned that the facts
which have lead to this meeting should be
made known. Som days ago MIR. A. Over
ton conceived the idea that a general tenn
perance awakening was a moral necessity in
this city. He visited various prominent
business men Of the city relative to the mat
ter, the result of which Is the present an
nouncement. That it is a political move, in
any sense, is disputed in the fact that Mr..
Overton has been a life long democrat.
Neither he nor his associates in this work
have political or any other axes to grind.
The following gentlemen will deliver ad-
dresses: Hon. l.. w. Ross, Colonel r.. @.
Hubbard, Jacob Sims, James McCabe, Revs.
DIR. Phelps, Crofts and Rees.
The speeches are limited TO ten minutes
and different phases of the question will be
discussed.
