Clothing Needed ny .he ci,y Mission.

During the late cold spell the ladies of
the Mission have been untiring IN their
efforts to relieve the pressing wants OF
the poor-in some instances almost re-
leased them from death. which stared
them in the face-so great was the suffer
ing from cold and starvation. Une
faithful worker heard that family OF
four white orphans (ages ranging from
nine to eighteen) were living Ia re-
mote part OF the city with negroes, the
eldest girl very sick, and all IN state
OF destitution. In spite OF the location
of the party, this indefatigable worker
in the City Mission labored until she
succeeded in removing them all TO the
almshouse, where the girl now lies quite
i'll.
On Saturday "a bitter cold day a
visitor of the mission was informed that
family on the outskirts OF the city
needed help. With great prolnptness she
sought and found the place, and heart
rending scene greeted her eyes. A poor
widow (of six months) sat half clad, with
six children around her in the same con-
dition: no shoes on their feet, their only
bed-covering was rags no stove or CRATE
in the room, only q handful Of fire on the
hearth. and no food. Quickly tins good
/ Samaritan went off in her buggy, and
/ before the day closed had provided this
family with food, fire, and clothing, and
with kind words left the poor widow with
cheerful and thankful heart to her
Heavenly Father for having sent friend
/ in l1er hour of need.
These are only instances OF what IS
being done every day by this charitable
organization. Clothes are greatly needed,
and the ladies urge their friends all over
the city to send all they can spare to help
clothe these destitute creatures. The
number of poor families requiring fuel
this winter is so greatly increased that
the last appropriation OF coke made by
the Council is nearly exhausted, and the
winter only half gone. Every coke ticket
giyen out has been examined and signed
by the Superintendent of Public Char
tiles. If no more coke is granted by the
Council the amount OF wood must neces-
sarily be increased, but the ladies hope
for another donation Of coke.
The sewing class organized for the
benefit OF the waits Of the city is in sue
cessful operation at the Mission House
every Saturday at IL O'Clock. 1t is pre-
sided over by four ladies, and all the gar
ments made by the children are pre-.
sented 10 them. Contributions Of all
kinds needed for this object Persons
desirous OF contributing shoes, clothing,
goods OF any kind, money or groceries
can send them to the City Mission, lOS

that the House had voted under a mis-
apprehension that members did not
understand that all that was asked was
that the House should merely fix fu-
ture time for the consideration Of the
bill.
The Speaker said that then the House
was very unfortunate but still no mo-
ton to reconsider was in order.
Very likely the motion to suspend the
rules will be made again to-day.

suicide Sunday.

Mr.. Patrick Murray, who resided at
No. S21 north Fifteenth street, commit
ted suicide Sunday morning by jumping
into well, where he was found drown
ed. 1t appeared that he had carefully
and securely tied with many knots a rope
to large piece of granite, and then had
fastened the other end of the rope 10 his
neck. In this condition he walked to
the well, which was twenty-five feet deep,
and with the stone in his hand had jump
ed into the water. The evident intention
of fastening this stone to his neck was to
keep the body under water, so that
drowning might be certain. The body
had lain in the well for three and n half
hours, and might have been there yet
but for the timely discovery OF deceased s
hat floating on the surface Of the water
Mr.. Murray was native OF Ireland.
At one time Of his life he was an en-
ployee of the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
road Company, but of late had been an
invalid, and his mind was sometimes IN
a wandering condition. When his wife
left him to 90 to church he seized the
opportunity to destroy his life.

were two professions of faith.
The Venable-Sreet church met for the

Christian fellowship
Next Sunday they will occupy the
