Meeting in Aid of the Private Soldier

Meeting in Aid of the Private Soldier
Monument
The weather has heretofore apparently
set it's face dead against the movement to
erect monument TO the private soldier
and sailor Of the South, as on every
former date set for a meeting to adYance
this movement it has raned or showed
or in some way hindered gathering.
It is 10 be hoped that nothing will in.
terlere 10 prevent n full attendance at the
theatre tonight, when Rev. Dr. Hoge
will deliver his address in the interest Of
the Soldiers and Sailors Monument As.
5ociation. The distinguished divine will
on this occasion make one OF the best
efforts Of his life, since his heart is fully
in the cause and his sympathies thor
oughly aroused. The building should be
packed, and those who stay away will
miss rare treat.
Hon John ". Daniel has also been in
vited TO be present and speak this even
ing but whether or not he will attend
we have not yet learned.

demonstrations Of this invention have
thus lar been made by orders of General
SheriGan, two at San Francisco in the
summer OF 1885, and the third at Sandy
HOOK. Inc experiments at San Francisco
were conducted by General o. .. How
ard, and were intended merely to de
monslrate that shells charged with
dynamite could be fired from a
cannon without premature explosion
Alter D dynamite shells had been sue

grounds into the hills across the Golden
Gate, the Board of Officers. conducting
The experiment, expressed the opinion in
their report that the two principl. causes
or apprehensions Of danger. "heat and
shock, had been completely guarded
against. General Howard recommended
further experiments with larger guns. and
out OF this recommendation grew the
the Sandy Hook demonstration with a
finch Ames gun and l29 -pound shells

Graydons method OF charging dynamite

OF obtaining penetration before explo

THE EFFECT OF THE THREE SHOTS
fired there is mnutely described by the
Board IN thelr report. Two of the shots
were glancing shots and not point on
shots as was desired to test penetration,

THE BOARD ~ THEIR REPORT
substantialed the two main points claimed
for the invention by saying shells |

ASNUAL ADDRESS
Before the seventh street Christian
Church Missionary society.

Before the seventh street Christian
Church Missionary society.
Yesterday was the anniversary Of the
Young Mems Missionary Society Of the
Seventh Street Christian church, and
that editice was well filled with members
of the society and their friends, notwith-
standing the inclemency Of the weather
After the regular services Rev H. G.
Cave, the pastor. introduced 10 the con.
gregatiOn Rev. l. j. Spencer, who was 10
deliver the anniversary address. MI
Spencer began that he would take the
name OF the society as his text and would
utter some few simple thoughts which
he hoped would germinate and grow
In the first place he would speak OF
Young men in the second, of missionary
work. and in the third, of the necessity
Of young men, in order that they might
work efficiently, uniting into society.
Young men, he said, had accomplished
the bulk of The work of the world. Of
military heroes, Alexander the Great was
only a when he conquered the known
Garth Hannibal was not yet 30 W hen he
passed the Alps and conquered the coun-
try,while Scipio Africanus was still young
" hen he eventually oyercame him. Char
lemagne started out at 80 TO begin his
great crusade, while Napoleon Bonaparte
was a brigadier general at "a OF biblical
heroes Joseph, Moses, and Daniel of the
old dispensation, and John the Baptist,
the forerunner Of Christ, Jesus himself
and his chosen disciples were all young
men. so was Stephen The first Christian
martyr, and so were Paul, Timothy, and
the other fathers of the church and early
dsseminators OF Christianity.
The speaker then gave a succinct and in
teresting account of the history of mis-
sions. and what they had done towards
evangelLing and advancing the world,
and how mission work, both al home and
abroad, was imperatiyely necessary for
cyangeiZing mankind.
lie then quoted from Lord Bacon that
young men by themselves were too rash,
lmpulsiye, and thOughtless, while old
men alone were too slow. cautious, and
indecisive. He therefore urged COM
bination of the two into societies where
they could discuss together, and where
the young might push their work re-
ligiously under the counsel, advice, and
guidance OF the old. He concluded with
wishing this society It blessing in It's
work
A collection was then taken up, after
which Captain Frank Cunningham sang
u solo,

Go and work to-day"
At the conclusion of this the long me-
tire doxology WAS sung, the benediclion
pronounced, and the congregation dis

INSTANTLY KILLED.
\ Horse touches ii Fallen Electric Wire
and Didn't Know What Hart Him.

Yesterday evening about ) o'clock, a.
one Of the electric cars was moving round
curve leading from the main track on
to a turnout at the corner of Twenty
fourth and + streets the wire which
branches of to round the turnout was
pulled down by the Trolley
A cOlOred man came along at that time
riding a handsome horse This animal
happened to touch the fallen wire, and
never knew what killed him The i'm
mense electric current had parayzed
every nerve in his body.
The rider received but slight shock,
nothing to hurt, as only a little OF the
fluid entered him through the body of the
horse He was slightly hurt by the fall
of the animal, and lucky for him that he
did not touch the wire.
The Electric Car Company soon had
men at work replacing the wire and ev-
erything went smoothly running again
1t was understood that the horse belonged
to Mr.. Allison Of the firm OF Allison x
Addison.

IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL.
Richmond Divine's Reply to Bob In

In the February number of the A0rn
american Recictc Rev. T. G.. Dashiell, rec
tor OF st. Marks church, this city, has
the following reply to some of the sneers
Of Bob Ingersoli
In your last number Mr lngersOll 4
reply TO Dr. Field contains the following
upon the subject of immortality How
is it that there is nothing in the Old Tes.
lament on this subject How DO YOU
account for the fact that you don't ind
in the Old Testament, from the first mis-
take i'm Genesis to the last curse in Nal
achi, a funeral service; Is it not strange
that some one in the Old Testament did
not stand by an open grave of father or
mother and say We shall meet again 2
MANY are in the habit of fippantly as
serting that the Old Testament does not
teach the doctrine Of eternal existence.
But how, if that be so, can we interpret
the warnings and lOngings OF people in
those days for righteous death , Many
passages in these writings have no mean
ing except on the basis of belief in i'm
mortality.
1T is matter of history that the ques
tion Of future life was the dividing
line between Pharisees and Sadducees
There are also direct statements.
'"Then shall the dust return to the
earth as it was, and the spirit shall re.
turn unto the God who gave it.'-Eccles g,
xii, z
"'Thy dead meu shall live; together
with my dead body shall they arise. -
Isaiah, xvi 10.
"a wicked prophet besought that he
might die the death of the righteous 1t
was no doubt because he believed in
what was expressed by Solomon, The
wicked is driven away in his wickedness
but the righteous hath hope in his death
"Of similar import is the language Of
Daniel (Xii, p And many of them that
sleep in the dust Of the earth shall awake
some to everlasting life, and some to
shame and everlasting contempt
"The alleged absence of funeral ser
vice is mistake The sOlemnites at.
tending the burial of loved ones may not
be rehearscd in detail, but they are
abundantly implied. especially in such
passages as Genesis, 50lh chap, and II.
Samucls, iii 81, etc
There is good reason to suppose that
upon many such an occasion the certainty
Ot meeting again was as clearly an
nOunced as II was by Daniel ia the l2th
chap, of II Samuel: While the child was
yet alive tasted and wept Tor said,
Who can tell whether God willbe gracious
to me that the child may live? But now
he is dead, wherefore should fast Can

him, but he shall not return 10 me
This article has peculiar interest, not
only because it touches upon a subject in
which all living mortality is yitally in
terested, as also because it is from the
pen of well known Richmond divine.

An ANTE-BELLUM PICTURE.
Painted by a Virginia Amatuer Artist.

Miss Lucy b Redd of Henrico county
one of Mr. John 4. Elders class OF
promising pupils, has just completed a
fine characteristic Virginia genre subject
This painting has recently been sent 10
Philadelphia TO the National Academy OF
Fine Arts Exhibition, and has been adj
mired by those who have seen it, 1t is q
Southern subject well treated and beauti.
fully expressed, recalling to the mind OF
the Older Nirginian a scene that takes
him back 10 his boyhOOd.
The title is ole Har is Cotched," and
the idea is represented by a negro boy
early on a snowy winter morning, who,
accompanied by the traditional yellow
stump.tail dog, has been visiting his
d" hare gum The boy, with a look of
eXultgnt satisfaction, is holding up in his
hand al Old hare, Just beyond the reach
OF the dog, which is jumping for it.
1t is pleasurable to note the efforts of
these Southern amateur artists TO pro
duce from oblivion the peculiar traits,
manners, and customs % the ante belIuDi
Virginia negro and while some render
these peculiarities by writing, it is as
necessary that others should do 50 by
painting. 1t is OF just such character
subjects as this treated by Miss Read that
these pecularites will be impressed upon
the minds Of those who had no personal
experience among the negro during the
days of slavery This picture is well
conceived and artistically executed.

DlSisiffE SHELLS
A Terrible Agent for RevolutioniIing
Modern Warfare.


WASHINGTON. ID. c., February j.-An
official report to the War Department on
the use Of dynamite shells IN demon
stration made last December at Sandy
Hook, but which was withheld from the
public until few days ago, is attracting
great deal of attention here among
army and navy officers and others and
some go 20 far as 10 say that the success
attending this Last, and other prior de-
monstratiOns aud successful experiments
of a similar character, lays tie tOunda-
ton for complete revolution in the sys-
TEN OF modern warfare. Shells charged
with ordinary powder, such as ii was sup.
posed could only be- used heretofore, are
to be laid aside and dynamite shells are
to be used in the annihlation OF armies,
the reduction OF forts, or the Gripping OF
fleets
The thing accomplished at Sandy Hook,
as shown by the report of the Board of
Ordnance officers, was the total wreck
age of a wrought iron mi.circular
turret eighteen feet wide, ten feet high,
and fourteen inches thick, made OF two
Finch plates, by three dynamite shells
fired from s-nch Ames riiled gun The
shells were of steel, weighed l22 pounds,
and were charged with two and two
thirds pounds Of dynamite The problem
which seems 10 have been successfully
solved in this and former experiments OF
firing with safety projectiles charged
with dynamite, Is accomplished by a
method Of charging shells with dynamite,
the invention OF J. W Graydon of In.
dianapolis, formerly lieutenant in The
navy.
His intention consists not only In
firing dynamite shells from modern
guns and cannon with a full service

An Irishman A. an Italian Peanut vender

Last week our distinguished guardian
of the peace, Sergeant Wilkinson, under
took 10 run peanut stand on the corner
Of Ninth and Cary streets while the pro-
prietOr went around the corner. Anon
an lrishman came 10 purchase a cold
lunch of ground acorns, but being ac-
customed to speak the language OF Sunny
Italy with the brogue OF the Green Isle,
be could not catch on 10 the accent of
Colonel Wilkinson so far as 10 get credit.
The proprietor came from the land Of
song and macaroni, but his temporary
representative did not know the diplc-
matte relations between Ireland and
Italy. The result was that a compli-
cation happened and the affair had to be
referred to the State Department al
Washington.
1t IS due to our distinguished friend,
Colonel Wilkinson, TO say that he was
not on duty at the time he undertook TO
Iun The peanut stand. And we know
that this story is true, because it is told
by his friend. Lieutenant Colonel Smell

THE ELECTRIC CARS
They do TIourishing Business on Their
First sunday

The electric cars yesterday did thriy-
ing business. II seemed "a If the entire
uopulation Of Church Hill wished to visit
Chockoe Hill and nice rcrsa. Such were
the crowds that the cars while passing
through the valley made no attempt To
siop. People lined the streets awaiting
a chance 10 get on but in hundreds Of
eases the novelty OF riding on cars pro
PEELED by the electric current was denied
them
Yesterday evening one of these cars
went out of service on the corner Of
Franklin and Seventeenth streets and
was run on the Seventeenth street track.
The cause was the disarangement Of a
part of her iron machinery hy the cleo
tricity.
