For two reasons at least everybody
should hear the lecture of Bishop Steaver
next Tuesday evening.
First, it is for a good cause, the benefit
of the United Brethren church of this city.
Secondly, all will be richly repaid who
spend twenty-five cents TO hear the dis
tinguished preacher.
Bishop Steaver is the Simpson and Lin
coin of his church and one of the foremost
preachers and orators of this country
This lectures an instructive, witty and
humorous, and therefore suited to all
classes of hearers. Perhaps no man ever
lived who looked so much like Abraham
Lincoln and of him a distinguished judge
once said, ''he looks like Lincoln, he walks
like Lincoln, he thinks like Lincoln, he
talks like Lincoln and he is like Lincoln.

THE BOARD OF TRADE BANQUET.

The formal opening of the new board of
trade rooms on Tuesday night promises to
be an occasion of season feasting and
soul flowing But very few of all the
guests invited have failed to accept either
of those at home or abroad. Geo. Peck
was called east this week and after ac-
cepting was compelled TO send regrets,
Mr. Noble Prentis had an engagement for
that night which has since been declared
off so we understand and may therefore
be present The speeches and response,
all save one, will prove brilliant or IN
structive, generally both while the eating
will be the best that the Gondolfo is
capable of dishing up. The reception
committee will receive the guests in the
new room where a welcoming speech and
responses will be delivered. The toasts
and responses will be offered and made at
the tables on the lower floor of the
building, plates being laid for nearly four
hundred Nobody will be abus, d except
the man who undertakes too long a speech
and he only in quiet undertone by the
fellow who is devoid of good breeding and
proper appreciation of the overshadow-
ing Importance of the occasion. Snipe on
toast and diamond-back terrapin, washed
down with lOwer-level Rackensack, will
fiji up the inter>tices between the oratori-
cal flights, outside of which there will be
no assures, riffs or breaches. In short,
the business representatives Of the great
est city of twice her size in the world will
be there in all their averdupois and
potency.

SHOT THROUGH \ WINDOW.

Last evening a shooting scrape occurred
on East Douglas which tor a time created
considerable excitement in that locality.
The little building formerly known as
the Cottage house." and in the same
block as the Carey hotel, has for some time
past born an unsavory reputation. and the
police have time after time been threaten
ing to close it; but for the past few days
the barber shop which has been in the
front room has had tendency to keep
things quiet and more orderly. About {
O'Clock there were a number of colored
persons in this room talking, when they
were startled by the report Of fire-arm
and the cries of pain from c. l.. Robinson
commonly known as 'BrockO aud
Bob King The window pane was
shattered and it was quite evident
that the shot had been fired through the
window by some one without The two
men were taken to a physician and their
injuries examined when it was found that
both were slightly wounded. From Brock S
arm and breast We're taken few shot, but
he no doubt owed his fortunate escape to
the fact of his wearing heavy chinchilla
coat and vest and was standing with his
side to the window when the shot was fired.
Kings injury was reported to be even less
than Brooks.
1t was believed that the shot was
fired by a colored man named Doc Miller
living on North Emporia. Some time ago
he and Brock had a quarrel which re
suited in Brooks cutting Miller. Yes
terday afternoon when the two men met
again racket ensued which was finally
settled by ,e5-to on South Fifth avenue.
Here it appeared that Brock again came
out victor. Miller went home swearing
verg sance, and loading mp an old gun
with No. , shot went out cunning in
search of Brock. He met him under cir
cumstances before described, fired the shot
through the window and fed, No arrests
