Sunday was another great day for
sightseers. The bank OF the creek near
the Baltimore & Ohio depot yard fell in
Saturday, for distance of about ten feet.
That portion of Eighteenth street near
the Tack factory has sunk steadily since
the water began to fall, and the entire
street is covered with cracks and assures
nearly TO the Market street bridge. The
street is in a dangerous condition, and
il is only question OF time when it will
fall into the creek bed. The next flood
will cut the bank there badly.
At the west end Of Nineteenth street
and the south end Of Eoff the bank has
also sunk badly. Two frame houses, be-
longing to Frank Healy and Mrs. Cahill,
were wrecked Saturday night by the
slipping bank, and a porch Of the ad:
Joining house on the north was carried
away. A square OF Eighteenth street
and one OF Nineteenth street are i'm
passable and beyond repair.
A force OF men were at work Till late
Saturday night and all day yesterday

Shortly after o'clock Saturday nigh
the last rail was laid on the Baltimore 4
Ohio trestle over the creek at Main street
and at 1910 cars heavily loaded witt
sand were run out on the bridge. Tn
middle OF the trestle sank about tw,
feet, but this was lacked up and BLOCKED
in line, and yesterday morning Captain
Clements car, passenger coach AM
several gondolas loaded with lumbe
were run out. The train came in agail
last night and returned to West Alexan
der again later. Freight was received
yesterday for shipment over the Pitts
burgh division. Freight came in from
Pittsburgh last night, and it is expected
that the regular trains will resume to-day
The first trains out will be Shelhy's cir

A telephone message was received at
police headquarters Saturday night from
Bellaire, from the manager OF the Dan
Shelby railroad circus side show, asking
that man called Tndian Jim" be ar
rested and held for theft. He was des-
cribed as a man 6 feet 4 inches tall,
SHINY built, with long, curly black hair,
n big black mustache andgoatee, dressed
as n cowboy, with large white hat and
light coat over n velvet vest.
Last evening the side show man and
one Of his freaks" walked into the po-
lice office. The freak was the "living
giant skeleton" u man Z feet s inches
tall and weighing only l04 pounds.
When Officer Gaus stood beside him his
rotund form did not come to the "skele-
toms" outstretched arm.
The manager said "Indian .Jim,'
whose right name is L. G. Allen, and
who is known as "the Arizona Cowboy"
skipped the show at Beiir're and stole
SIG 40 in cash, blue monkey OF a va
riety worth S25 each in car load lots, and
a coat belonging to the skeleton. He
was traced as far in this city as Boggs'
run, when he was lost sight OF. 1t is
thought he will try to get to Pittsburgh,
or attempt to sell the monkey to some
OF the showmen at the State Fair here
this week.
The police were warned to take no
chances with him, as he is always armed
and is tough. Coming across the river
on the South Wheeling ferry, Jim paid
$40 OF his ill-gotten SIS 40, for pug
dog. There certainly ought to be no
difficulty in identifying man of his
description and with such a strange col.
lection OF live stock in his possession.
The Shelby show was at Bellaire Sat
urday, and it is to be at Washington,
Pa, to-day, il it can get there. 1t ex-
pected to get out early this morning over
the Baltimore & Ohio.

THE EYENING SERVICE.
smalrs Farewell words-The Meeting
Ends To-day.

Ends To-day.
At Intervening service larger audi
ence greeted Sam Small than has been
seen on Sunday evening in the audi
forum since it has been erected. The
crowd usually leaves on the evening
trains, but last night the audience was
not far from 5000 people. Small chose
for his text, 81 am the rose OF Sharon and
the lily OF the valley."j
The sermon was thoughtful and
practical. Among other things, he said {:
Christ wants US to be pure. He wants
the men to be pure as well as the wo-
men, but when Christianity comes in
Christ demands the same purity from
men as women. Men are walking
around ready to shoot down any one
who attacks the purity OF the mother OF
sister, yet the same man will 50 to bar.
rooms and spit out the foulest OF Ian
guage ever known. Wemen will never
get right untilyoungladias will pass these
men on the street Hnd say, No
sir; you can't speak to me
Don't let them come into your house
and sit with your daughter. Get IN old
fuses and let her loose. Get an old
wide.spreader, that would take in whole
acres OF them. God give US grit enough
to begin that kind OF work. God give
us grace enough to herd this kind Of cat,
tie. We can't have purity until these
cattle get separated from our boys and
girls. Let us have Christian perfection,
and then we can have our children pro,
teCted. The peroration at the close oil
the sermon was very fine.
DR.. Stone arose and paid ALLOWING
tribute to both Small and Jones, and
asked all in the audience to pray fol
them. He also asked all those who de
sired Sam Small TO return next
year to rise. The entire audience
arose. Small has captured the people,
1t was said that all the conversions that
have occurred on the ground this year
have been since Small came.
Rev. G. D. Battelle, the Oldest minister
on the grounds, conducted the sacre.
mental services. Over 800 partook OF
the sacrement, many Of them probably
for the last time on the old camp ground.
The closing service OF the meeting will
be held at s o'clock this morning, when
the good-byes will be said, and the fare
well for another year will be given. The
meeting this year has been successful
one, and has been very satisfactory to
the management. About s., 800 has been
taken in at the gates, and this with the
ground rent, will make the entire re-
ceipts exceed $1,000.
To-day many will fold up their tents
and steal away to their several homes.

Rev. @. p. Masden, who was pastor Of
the Fourth Street NJ. E. Church five years
ago, and who is now pastor OF Madison
Avenue NJ. L. Church, New York City,
preached to his old congregation in this
city yesterday morning and evening to
large audiences. His text for the even
ing sermon was, "Let your light so
shine, TINT Others, seeing your good
works, may follow them and glorify your
Father which is in heaven" The main
thought Of the discourse was the man
ncr Of maniiesting christianity to the

noticed many members OF other denom-
nations.

The great tidal wave that has set in
for Harrison and Morton, and the great
American principle OF Protection that
they stand for, is confined to no particu-
lar section. In Republican strongholds
the party is stronger than ever and the
majorities promised presage great re-
suits. In localities where the strength
OF the two parties has been about even
the "Come.outers" and choppers" have
been so numerous as to leave little
doubt about the majority being on the
Republican side this time, and in Demo-

always been solidly Democratic is such
rs TO alarm the leaders and workers.
