TIE MEETINGS AT ACTON.
All the Services Attended by Great Crowds
Closing Exercises To-Day.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
CAMP ACTON, July 29.-To-dsy the weather
was oppressively warm, but religious zeal did
not abate. The early morning meeting was led
by DR.. Keen. It was made what is termed
pentecostal service, and continued one hour.
The attendance was large, and the interest
great. The speaking meeting was led by DIR. J.
g. Chafee, OF College Corner. People were so
anxious to tell their experience that at times
dozen were on their feet at once.
AS this service was in progress, the people of the
surrounding country came pouring in and at 10
o'clock every seat in the auditorium Was filled.
and many stood at the doors and windows to
listen to Mira. Robinson. She preached with her
usual power from the words, Praise We the
Lord, for he is good; and His mercy endureth
forever" She has done grand work here as
she does everywhere she goes. She breaches the
gospel, true and plain. and her words are re-
membered for years afterwsrd.
At the band-stand at the same hour Mr..
Staley conducted a meeting. Quite q crowd
gathered, and good time was had. A large
audience listened to q most excellent song serv-
ice by Prof. Hudson and large chorus The
Rev. j. S. Bitter preached in the afternoon to
the largest audience of the day. He took for a
text the words: From him that aath not shall
be taken away that which he hath Prof.
Hudson conducted the children's meeting at
o'clock It was u crest attraction to strangers
on the ground. His daughter Gertrude, q fine
singer added much TO the interest Of the service.
Quite a number Of prayer meetings were held
in different parts OF the grounds at o'clock, and
at $50 o'clock the march around the grounds,
singing on the way, was taken up. 1t closed at
the Tabernacle, where one of the best OF young
peoples meetings was held. The alliance formed
has about 115 members and is starting out for
grand work. Many Of the people had left the
grounds by the time OF evening services, but .
large audience gathered TO hear Rev. Eugene V.
Staley relate his experience OF what the devil
had done for him and what God had done for
him.
At the morning preaching hour DR.. Keen
spoke Of the absence of Bishops Thoburn and
Taylor. Most every body knows that Bishop
Thoburn met with an accident some weeks ago,
which confined him TO the house. He cancelled
all other engagements except that for Acton.
thinking that by the time appointed be would
be well: but q telegram was received the last
of the week from the Bishop himself, saying
that he was not able TO leave the house. The
absence Of Bishop Taylor cannot be explained
SO easily. Mail has been coming hero
for him for q week. He fully expected to be
here and was looked for on almost every train.
The camp meeting will close with grand
public service at $50 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing In the afternoon, at 3 80 o'clock. the Wom-
ans Home Missionary Society has an anuiver-
sary meeting. The first lecture in the assembly
course will be by DIR. j. H. Ford Of Indianspo-
lis. on Wednesday. l. d. NJ.

Death from suffocatiou.

Last night, at IL o'clock. stable on the prem
ises Of August Kuhn, near the corner of Morris
and Union streets. was partially destroyed by
fire. and William Heiser. young man who slept
in the stable. lost his life from suffocation. The
fire was first discovered by neighbors OF Mr..
Kuhn, and the flames were then bursting out Of
the roof. moment later they heard
the cries Of Heiser. but were unable
to render him any relief. By this time the upper
story of the building had been burned, and
Heiser was dead. After the FIRE was extin-
euished his body was found near a window, in
dicating that he had made an effort TO
escape Heiser was young man,
and unmarried. He came here from
Ohio few months ago, and
was employed by Mr.. Kuhn as hostler. The
fire seemed TO originate in the loft near where
he slept, and the supposition is that be went to
bed late and possibly left q lieeted cigar on the
hay. His body was not badly burned.

arranged by J. Milton Turner. who is the

streets as desiring that he should be indorsed

her black and white silk costume she had put on
one white and one black glove. 1t appears that
Duchess in her hurry had taken one of each
