Moody and Sankey's Angels.

FROM the Detroit Free Press
An incident which can never forget han
pened when We were singing in London" said
Mr.. W. b. Thomas, the first basso Of the Fisk
Jubilee Singers, last saturday 1T was at the
time Mr.. Moody was preaching there. and he
asked us to come and sing for him. According
to instructions we were TO enter at a rear door
OF the tabernacle climb the back stairs and
occupy rear gallery. where we would not bs
seen by the congregation. There was an i'm
mense audience, over 1000 persons being pres
ent. Mr.. Moody preached his sermon. and at
the close said 60 the people: we will now bow
our heads few moments in silent PRAYER
Ihat was our time. We softly sang Steal
AWAY to Jesus and everybody except Mr..
Moody was astonished. They looked at the
cholr, but the choir as much surprised a.
themselves. They could see no one on the
platform but Mr.. and Mrs. Sankey and they
were not singing. No words can describe the ef-
iect AZ had on them. many of them actually be-
heVing II was the singing Of angels. We had
sung IN France. Germany. Austria and in Scot
land and before seven OF the crowned heads OF
Europe, but had never created such a sensa-
non as we did then. and concluded Mr..
Thomas good humOredly, we have never been
taken for angels since -

Another Romance of the War.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Capt Chas. Reese, of Charleston, s. c., and
Miss Mary Francis Grady, each somewhat past
the meridian of life, met eighteen years ago.
Yesterday afternoon they met for the second
time at the Union depot by arrangement, and
two hours later they were married. Capt
Reese was guard at Libby prison during the
civil war. Miss Grady's brother, a lieutenant
in the confederate service, was Reeses mess
mate, and died away from his home and under
his care. Ever since then Capt Reese and Miss
Grady have constantly corresponded, meeting
but once during the twenty-five years interview
ing. BY correspondence they agreed to meet
at the union depot in this city and be married
Yesterday afternoon Capt. Reese strolled to
and fro on the Union depot platform seeking
Miss Grady in the crowd. Suddenly a rather
plump but very pleasant looking woman
hurried up to him and said: "Isn't this Capt
Reese?" YES" he replied. but who are-why,
its's Miss Grady isn't it?" He had his marriage
license with him, and together they proceeded
to the nearest justice, where they were
married. The couple will probably reside in
the future in Clay county, where the now Mrs
Resse is the owner of an extensive farm. Capt
Reese was wounded several times in the con-
federate service, and was on the Alabama when
il was sunk off the coast of France.

The Disappearance of Gen. Ward.

FRIEND SAYS HE Is SIMPLY on A BUSINESS TRIP
ALL DAKOTA INTERESTED.
A Bismarck, Dak., special to the New York
Tribune says: The gossip of the day in Dakota
is the reported fight of Gen. A. d. Ward. who
was prominent in territorial politics, and was
said to be the envy OF all aspirants for Con-
gress and the United States Senate. SO favor
able an impression did he create while stump
ing Indiana for Harrison that a member of the
national committee informed a Dakota poll
tician that Gen. Ward would have much TO saw
regarding the distribution of patronage and
favors in the territory.
A friend of Wards here to-day denies that
the latter has fed to Canada, and says that the
report that his real name is Wadsworth is
utterly false. This person further states that
Gen. Ward has simply gone on business tour:
and that when he returns he will prosecute for
libel the newspapers that first published the
report This statement is ridicnled by some in
the face of the fact that barber here, who
once had a shop in Spokane Falls, where he
shaved Wadsworth for over year, and who has
since seen him here, says he ia identical with
Ward. kilograms from Spokane Falls corrob-
crate the BARRIERS testimony. 1t is a political
and social sensation of rare interest. Ward is
still missing.

The Electric Light i'm Land Warfare,


The London Electrician describes the fol-
Heath, for the purpose of testing the capacity
of small electric hand-lamps in searching for
the wounded men left after a battle, and thus
more RAPIDLY than hitherto bringing the suf-
ferers within the reach of surgical aid. The
experiments were made by the officers and men
OF the London division of the volunteer med
ical staff corps, an organization which already
consists of four efficient companies. largely
composed of medical students, and for which
a fifth company Is now in process of formation.
The corps under Surgeon-Commander Norton,
accompanied by ambulance-waSons, and pro-
vided with stretchers. halted upon one of the
heath roads at a time when the thick mists
still hung heavily upon the lower grounds,
and having established field hospital
in rather dreary looking spot.
poorly sheltered by bare trees. sent
ont its searching stretcher parties to pick
mp some of the bandsmen who had been dis
tributed over <le open ground a. some distance
off. to simulate the wounded left from fight
during the daylight By the aid of the lamps
thus brought into use for the first time, the
men sought were found with comparative rapid
ity the lights being sufficient also TO enable the
ambulance men to apply preliminary bandaging
upon the spot, and before loading the stretch
crs, which by other lights at the wagons were
guided back to the road. There the men were
carefully placed in the vehicles, and conveyed
TO the field hospital where the examining sur
geons found very little to correct in the treat
meDt adopted under such Instantaneous cir
cUnstances. The results achieved indicate
sufficiently well. says the Daily Nt,cs that the
electric light thus used would be of immense
value. and tend greatly TO reduce the suffering
of men left upon the field at the close of a
fight

ABRAHAM LrNooLN's ENTRANCE INTO POLITICS.
Judge Bell, Of Mount Carmel Ill, furnishes
the following maiden speech of Abraham Lin
coin, delivered in Pappsville, near Springfield,
H., nearly fifty years ago. Mr.. Lincoln was
not then lawyer, and had no intention Of be-
coming lawyer. He had then made up his
mind to learn the blacksmith trade. His
genius was recognized, and he was suddenly
nominated for the Legislature. His first speech
was as follows: Gentlemen and fellow-citi-
zens: I presume you know who / am. / am
humble Abraham Lincoln. i have been So
licited by many friends to become candidate

in favor of the internal-improvement system

MR. BYERLY STARTS TO SEE THE PLAY AND BRINGS
Up IN POLICE CELL.
A young man giving his name as Joseph
Byerly started down town last night for good
time. According to his notions, he succeeded.
After getting well under the influence of liquor
he went to the Bijou theater. to see "A Bunch
of Keys" Special Officer McKenny told him
to go home; that he was in no condition to 60
In the theater. Byerly was far enough under
the influence of liquor TO make him disagree
able. He stood in the doorway and told the
policeman that if he could not go in he would
see that no one else went in. In this he was
mistaken, for it was only few minutes before
he found himself behind the bars of the first
precinct station, while the patrons of the
theater continued to pass in to see the play.
Instead of enjoying "a Bunch q Keys he
passed restless night surrounded by vags and
other noisy prisoners. This morning he was
taken to the Police Court and Judge Miller
fined him S.

Locomotive Attachments,
From the Albany Journal.


Il: is curious" said railroad man yesterday
at the Albany depot, ''how firm is the attach
ment between a locomotive engineer and his
locomotive. know an engineer on the Gen.
trial road who calls his engine Hank and
talks to it as he drives through the rain and
storm just as he would to horse. sometimes
in sweet and mild tones and then with the
strongest imprecations upon his lips know
OF another engineer who insists on sleeping in
the round-house near his locomotive. and
thinks as much of it almost as he does of his
child. Engineers do not like to take out new
locomotives. They prefer one that has been
tried year or two. They are afraid that the
driving-rods may break. and broken driving
rod often sends its fragments through the cab
to the peril of the engineer and fireman. As
rule therefore, new engines are run for year
or SO with freight trains, and after they have
become seasoned they are put upon passenger
trains"

A Heroine of Niagara Gorge.
DEATH OF MISS JENETTE LARKE. WHO RESCUE

DEATH OF MISS JENETTE IARKE. WHO RESCUED
CHILD AT GREAT RISK.
Miss Jenette Larke, who died in Buffalo last
week, will be remembered as one of the hero
ines % Niagara gorge. Miss Larke was only
twenty-five years of age, and was the daughter
of the late Alured Larke, lieutenant in the
tenth United States infantry, who was stationed
at Fort Niagara for several years. Miss Larke
was fond of athletic sport and excelled in eques-
trianism. lawn tennis, swimming and walking.
She had a fine physique and was a splendid
specimen of the athletic American girl She
was a graduate of the State Normal school and
when she died was teacher in the Buffalo Fe-
male academy. One of her feats was swimming
across the Niagara river at Youngstown on Au-
gust 16, 1886. This was an unprecedented swim
for a lady, and has not been repeated. The
distance covered was fully a mile and half.
and the brown-eyed beauty emerged from the
river on the Canada shore remarkably fresh
and none the worse for her trip. On this swim
she was accompanied by Vim. Wilkinson. Miss
Larke some years ago saved the life Of a child
of an officer at the fort The little one had
been plaGing near the banks of the Niagara
when it'feu in. The current carried the child
away and il would have been drowned but for
Miss Larke's presence of mind Removing
some of her clothes sho sprang into the river,
and, after considerable trouble. rescued the
child. II was sinking for the last time when
she reached il, and she had TO dive TO re-
cover il.

The WIsE-WADpuL CoSTEsr.-The last of
the three special ballot-boxes, in which were
deposited the votes of the colored voters in
Jackson ward, of Richmond, at the last con-
gressional election, was opened yesterday.
These ballots, the republicans. claim, would
have been cast for Judge waddill, the republi-
can candidate for Congress, but for the fact
that colored voters were unnecessarily delayed
at the polls by frivolous questions and objec-
tons. In consequence $50 voters, who were in
line, could not get their ballots in by shutdown.
As Hon. Geo. D. Wise has only 261 majority
the republicans claim that the opening Of the
special ballot-boxes viii give the seat to Candi-
date Waddill by 267 majority.
