attend church for the music: and why
not? If they will attend for naught
else, better attend for the music than
not go at all. The lovers of church
music-those who can be reused to an
attitude of praise by sweet sounds
will find all that their desire calls for in
the music of the choir, together with
the skillful accompaniment of Prof.
Proctor and the grand organ OF the
church. A cOrnetiSt from DanZ' Orches-
ira lends the silvery tone of his instru-
ment to the total harmony. There is to
be a change in the spring. but though
the addition is to be two ladies from the
Original Swedish quartette. voices ia
nous in the musical world, it is with
regret that the congregation will part
with two voices who have pleased them
in the past.
Prof. Proctor, or, as in his modesty he
prefers to be addressed. III. |. Proctor,
is the organist and director. He is by
nature and education musician, and
to- see him would be to know that he
had Emusic in himself. and was not fit
for treaSons, stratagemS and spOils."
He announces himself as musician In
his jovial form and demeanor-not the
foreign musician with long hair and
classic phiz, but new world musician
who can see music in other things than
strings and pipes, and the human voice.
Prof. Proctor halls from New Hamp-
shire, and it was there in his boyish
days that he first took to music, rising
from the stage where pipe munufact-
ured from the pumpkin stem was the
sole delight to the more classic piano

studied under j. G. ID. Parker; later in
New York city under the first pianOist
of America, William Mason, and as
completion he studied theory, COM

OF a pipe organ with Dudley
Burk. For thirty years he
has filed the position of organist with
most prominent churches of the west.
In Chicago he was connected with the

Mrs. DIR. Muckey holds high pO.
SitiOn among the musicians of Mime
apOlis. She has naturally perfect
alto voice, and has, as she said, always
sung. Having had the advantage OF
the best artists of this country and
Europe she is a most efficient musician.
After singing in st. Marks, the old
Westminster and Plymouth church she
travelled for year in Europe. La
Grange of Paris among others was her
teacher. Since her return four years
ago she has been connected with the
Westminster choir. Mrs. Muckry'S
first vocal training was under Harry
Wheeler in the New England conserva-
tory of music at Boston.
The soprano Is at present carried by
Miss Clara Williams, a school girl whose
passion is music. and well may it be for
she is blessed with pure, clear voice,
not yet fully developed, to be sure, but
voice in which her friends hear the
propheSy of a bright future for the
young lady. She is daughter of Wales
and has been wanderer, but her earli-
est recollectiOnS are of singing and
music. She is now under the careful.
training of Mrs. Bertrand. In TIE spring
she will graduate from the High school
and devote her life to music. She has
sang in prominent churches of the Twin
cities at prominent services. Miss Will
Jams possesses a sweet voice, and with
her love for the art bOdes>fair to fulfill
the most sanguine expectations of her
friends.
DIR. Floyd S. Muckey has for years
been the popular basso of the church.
He is a MinneSOtlan. but lie first learned
of his musical ability during his study
of medicine at McGill'S college, MOn-
treal. He there studied under Prof.
Couture and sang in the Jesuit catbe-
dral. The doctor has full, rich voice,
and his friends hint that nature has
done more for him than he has for him.
self. He needs but the training to make
famous singer.
The tenor voice of the Quartette is
that of r. ID. Finel, a Young man Of
Minneapolis, who sings because he loves
to sing. With him, also, nature has
been most generous, and he has the
making of star singer if he devOtes his
time TO it. OF musical family, sing.

life. His home was formerly in st.
Johnsbury, vt. On coming to Minne-
apolis he made his home with his
uncle, Harvey Kicker, and his first Sun

However, he managed to give an ac-
count of the quadrupfe tragedy, just as
have given it above. We were ush-

which was also crowded with gossiping

was appalling!
On bed. covered only by white
sheet, lay the three women. The
mother, stout woman of about fifty,
lay in the middle. not sign of the
murder about her except the stain OF

Mary. The pillow on which her head
rested was stained with blood, and
hoies in her upper lip and neck showed
where the lead had taken effect. Her
sister-in-iaw raised the corpse, and,
drawing down the white nightgown in
which it had been dressed, showed
large bullet hole in the

how she could have walked three-quar-

such was the case.
To the left lay the body of the young

large bullethole was revealed lmmedl-
ately over the left breast. and another
in the left side of the neck.
The neighuOrS said the girls were

banded together under Rev. j. G. Rihel-

from the St. Paul Presbytery. From
this mustard seed the great plant has
grown. The first building was dedi-
Gated about three years later. Rev.
BENJAMIN Dorrance, Rev. Levi Hughes,
Rev. James Mckee. Rev. Robert Strong
and Rev. Robert A. Condit filled the
pulpit during the first ten years after
the organization. Mr.. COndit, now a
professor in Coe college, Iowa, was the
first installed pastor, and served the
church for three years. Following him
was Rev. Robert F. Sample who entered
upon the pastorate March s. 1858. AT
this time the membership was about 106.
Twice the church was enlarged. but
the congregation grew faster than the
edifice and the demand for new build
ing became imperative. The corner
stone of the "brown stone church'' of
the present day was, laid July IL. 1880.
Some difficulty was realized in the erec-
tion of the large structure, but at last
on the 10th day of August, 1882, the
spacious lecture room was used: The
church was dedicated free of debt March
IL. 1883. Although the capacity of the
church was large, it was taxed to the
utmost from the first, and the congre-
CATION, which had already sent out two
colonies and was maintaining three
missions, inaugurated new enterprise,
under the auspices of the Presbyterian
alliance, in another part of the city.
This mission is now an independent

war growing out of the negro exodus.
ALI the colored railroad engineers have
been driven out of the state. The local
military companies have been called
out in Wayne county to aid the farmers
in preventing the desertion of their
Iaborers. The whites have asked the
Legislature for law covering the case,

treatment by the whites makes life in
the state unbearable. The resolutions
adopted at a monster meeting in Colds

Sketch of the Life of This Prom.
inent Presbyterian Divine.

lncnC presbyterian DIVINE.
Rev. David James Burrell is well
known to all habitants of Minneapolis
who listen to whatmen of opinions have
to say. 1t can be said that DIR. Burrell
always knows what he thinks, and is
free % express his opinion when by so
doing he can influence any one toward
what he deems the right. Whatever
may be said as to his opinions, it can
never be doubted for an instant that he
is firm in his belief, and asks naught of
his followers that he cannot himself
give. In the pulpit he draws from his
audience feeling of reverence before
he utters word. The reverend gentle
man believes not in the least with the
priests of old who made unsightliness a
part of their religion. Sunday morn
ing finds in the pulpit of the
Westminster church pastor in
the immaculate attire of modern
divine. With his ruddy countenance,
dignified bearing and the CLEAN of true
moral courage from his face. he pre-
sents the character of q true man. With
his full rich voice, emphatic distinct
ness and power of speech and meaning
gestures, he is seen as natural orator
of the pulpit. These, together with an
undoubted goodness and careful watch
fulness of the flock, make him the ideal
pastor.

Four CHASTITY corpses! Those of a

frozen stiff, lying in woodshed; un-
washed, uncared for! Such were the
awful sights which it was my lot to
gaze upon yesterday afternoon. Leay-
ing Austin behind spirited double
team in the early morning, with the
coldest of northwest winds biting nose
and cheeks. drove eighteen long miles
across a fruitful prairie, which seemed
an endless succession of prosper
Gus farms, studded here and
there with small timber planted,
as l learned, by the settlers.
Out of Mower county into Freeborn,
striking the township of London at its
extreme eastern limit; away across the
endless prairie we sped as fast as horse
flesh could carry US. My driver was an
intelligent German, who enlivened the
trip with stories of the abyss of immor-
tality, into which the settlers Of the far
northwest corner of London township
had sunk, and hearsay reports of the
Quadruple tragedy, which it was my
mission to investigate. Nobody in Aus
tin had been to the scene of the murder
since its committal, and as there is no
railway within many miles, the accounts
differed as variedly as the physiog
Monies of the men who related them.
After long and bitterly cold drive we
drew up at farm house, where | en-
gagged a very intelligent young Bohe-
mlan as interpreter. After getting our
selves warm we started forth for the
scene of Friday nights massacre, aITis-
ing there at 1880 a. m.
