This Time Wisconsin Central Train Is Robbed
Single-Handed.

MINNEAPoLIs, Aug. 6.-The Wisconsin
Central passenger from Chicago, which
passed Chippewa Falls, Wis. at o'clock
this morning, was held up and robbed by a
single man, between Chippewa Falls and
Abbotsford, half an hour before. At the
hour named man entered one of the sleep

ductOr and porter to throw up their hands,
and then proceeded to go through them.
taking all they had. One passenger was
also robbed. A shot or two was fired at the
porter, but no one was hurt The robber
pulled the bell-rope as soon as he had COM
mitted the robbery, and when the train
came to stop he jumped off and escaped.
Lift, of Milwaukee, who is also Mime
apOlis theatrical manager, was passenger
on the sleeper. and the ball fired at the por-
ter whiZzed past within an inch of his face.

The New M. 3. Pastor.


The new preacher is always an OBJ.
ject of interest to the town, and es-
pecially to the congregation to whom
he Minister'S fact that very properly
attaches dignity and responsibility to
the position. Such is the case IA,
Smyrna to no less a degree
than elsewhere, as was manifested in
the initial service of Rev. w. w. w.
Wilson on Sunday as the successor of
Rev. w. S. Robinson as pastor of the
Methodist church. But few if any of
the congregation had ever heard him
before, taking him on that faith that is
the motor of the ''great iron wheel"
of the itineracy. In such cases there
is a natural expectancy; in this there
was mOre-the acceptance of the judg-
ment as is exercised through the su-
perintendency, with ready acquies-
ence therein for the works sake.
The reverend gentleman took for his
text the Sd and 4th verses of I'd Tim
Othy : "ThOu, therefore. endure hard
ness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
No man that warreth entangleth him
self with the affairs of this life; that
he may please Him who hath chosen
him to be a soldier"
The discourse was a vigorous pre-
sentation of the Christian life espe-
cially as exemplifed in the life and
example of Paul and accepted by Tim
othy after the direction of his great
teacher. The speaker saw it as no hol.
iday affair but one requiring the virtue
of courage, the persistence of will
power and the inspiration of faith.
All this requires the strict discipline
of the soldier with his readiness tC
endure, obey, fight and die-in the
faith-tO please him who has chosen
him to be a soldier.
He was greeted at night by another
large audience who gave him close
approving and reverent attention. He
is evidently a close, hand to hand
fighter with the power of evil, while
carrying with him in a very large
measure the gospel of good will, ten
dered with a kindly hand to each and
every individual. He has that heart
mess in work and that social warmth
as pastor that makes a man "a
home" with the masses. He already
knows large part of the congrega
| ton.

If they do and the note goes to pro-

the same way for the payment Of

KENTON, DEL, Dec. 81, 1889.
Mr.. EDITOR:
The trial of the drunken rioters
came off before the Justice of the
Peace this afternoon as far as the two
Wallaces were concerned in it. Jo-
seph b. Wallace was held in $500 to
answer at court to the charge Of re-
sisting arrest and assault and battery
on Alexander Frazier, Constable, and
VIM. Wallace waived his hearing and
was held to answer the charge at o art
of assault and battery on the person of
VIM. IL. Greenwich while acting as den.
uty to the constable, and gave bond
in the sum of 5000. The law abiding
citizens Of the town are now waiting to
see what action the Town Cummis-
sioners will take against VIM. B.
Hazel for maintaining a nuisance on
the pavement in the heart of the town
distributing whiskey from a demiiohn
to all who would drink it, and in one
case pouring the Uhisteg dolun the
throat of man who was TOO drunk to
drink it himself and Incapable of re-
sisting the force employed to make him

such state Of helplessness, that sew

The commissioners deemed them a
nuisance and ordered Graham TO cut
