BELIEF IN CHRIST.
Sermon Preached at London
by the Rev. DR.. Tai
mage. 49,.
Paul. and SiIas in the Gloom
of the Phillipian
Dungeon.

LONDON, Special.-The Rev. 7. Dewitt
Talmage, D. d., Of Brooklyn, preached in
this city, taking for his text Acts xvi, 81:
'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou
shalt be saved" He said:
,Jails are dark, dull, damp, Ioathsome
places even now; but they were worse in the
apostolic times imagine, to-day, We are
standing in the Phillipian dungeon. Do you
not feet the chill? Do you not hear the groan
of those incarcerated ones who for 10 years
have not seen the sunlight, and the deep sigh
of women who remember their fathers house,
:and mourn, over their wasted estates2 List
en- again. 1t is the cough of a eonsumptive,
or the struggle of one in anightmare ofgreat
horror. You listen again, and hear culprit,
his chains rafting as he rolls over in his
dreams, and you say: God pity the pTis-
oner." But there is another sound in that
prison. 1t is a song ofjoy and gladness.
What place to sing in! The music comes
winding through the corridors of the prison
and in all the dark wards the whisper is
heard: whats that? What's that?" 1t
is the song of Paul and Silas. They can
not sleep. They have been whipped, very
badly whipped. The long gashes on their
backs are bleeding yet. They lie fat on the
cold ground, their feet fast in wooden sock
cts, and of course they cannot sleep. But
they can sing. Jailer, what are you doing
with these people? Why have they been put
in here? o, they have been trying to make
the world better. Is that ali? That is all.
A pit for Joseph. lions cave for Daniel.
A blazing furnace for Shadrach. Clubs for
John Wesley. An anathema for Philip Me-
IancthOn. dungeon for Paul and SiIas.
But while We are standing in the gloom OF
that Philippian dungeon, and we hear the
mingling voices of sobs, and groans, and
blasphemy, and halleujah, suddenly an
earthquakeI The iron bars of the prison
twist, the pillars crack of, the solid masonry
begins to heave and rock till all the doors
swing open, and the walls fall with a terrific
crash. The jaiior, feeling himself responsible
for these prisoners and feeling suicide to
be bonora bIe-since Brutus killed himself,
and Cato killed himself. and Cassious killed
himself-puts his sword to his own heart. pro-
posing with one strong, keen thrust to put an
end to his excitement and agitation. But
Paul cries out: stop! stop! Do thyself no
harm. We are all here" Then l see the
ailOr running through the dust and amid
the ruin of that prison, and See him throw
ing himself down at the ieet of these prison
ers crying What shall do?' What shall
dO?" Did Paul answer: 'Get out of this
place before there is another earthquake;
put handouts and hobbies on these other
prisoners lest they get away?" No word of
that kind. Compact, thrilling tremendous
answer; answer memorable NIL through earth
and heaven: "Believe on the Lord Jesus
shalt be saved"

MINNEAPOLIS POLICE SURPRISED.
Fhe news that Schieber had escaped from
his custodian created genuine surprise in
Minneapolis police circles. There were
none of the officers who had given the case
any special attention but who thought
Schieber was guilty of murder, and was
man who should be watched very closely.
In fact, the prisoner had practically con-
fessed the murder, but claimed justification
because his old victim had accused him of
drowning his step-son. Mr.. Hoy has had
great deal of experience with criminals. 1t
is thought that Schieber's meek and lOwly
appearance might have helped him out.
He has the appearance of an easy-going and
harmless man. At times he would act as if
perfectly Indifferent to his fate. But peo-
pie who thought these things were badly
mistaken The fellow cannot speak a word
of English, and had but little to say as a
general thing. But he kept up a heap of
thinking Just the same. He would beg for
little privileges when confined in the CEN
tral station, and later in the Jail, and to
awaken the sympathy of the officials he
would sometimes cry bitterly. Capt Helm
was about the first man in Minneapolis to
learn of
sCHEIBERs CUNNING.
When the captain was escorting the prisoner
from the police headquarters to the central
station on the evening of his arrest the Ba-
varian made bold break for liberty, and
went flying up Nicollet avenue at rate
which would have done credit to pro-
fessional sprinter. Thereafter Capt. Helm

Possibly the 'iisatttter's conception of tn
"poor Bavarian'' is explanation for his Civ

KILLED COURT HOUSE.
A Bloody Tragedy Resulting From
Tha TrnuhlaS In Richmond. Tex.

A Bloody Tragedy Resulting From
The Troubles in Richmond, Tex.
GALVESTON, Tex, Special.-A terrible
tragedy was enacted in the court house here
to-day, in which Kyle Terry, nephew of the
late Judge David Terry, was instantly
killed and two men badly wounded. The
killing was the outcome of the
Fort Bend troubles, which resulted
some time ago in such a bloody
battle between the citizens of
Richmond. Some months ago Terry, who
was tax assessor of Fort Bend county and
member OF what is known as the Wood
pecker party, had difficulty with the three
Gibson boys, all members of the Jaybird
party. Five weeks later Terry met one
of the Gibson brothers in Wharton
and killed him. When the case
came up for trial Ferry got a
change of venue to Galveston county.
Galveston had nothing to do with the case
further than to give fair trial. Judge
Parker, indicted for murder in Fort Bend
county, also secured change of venue to
this county, and the cases were set down
for to-day and witnesses for both the prose-
cution and defense had brought to the city
large number of adherents of what is
known as the Jaybird and Woodpecker
factions of Fort Bend county. A large spe-
| cial venire of citizens had been summoned
for Jury service in these cases, to appear at
the court house at 10 o'clock. A few min
utes after that hour Kyle Terry, his brother,
Capt. David Terry of California, Judge
Parker, Judge Weston, DR.. Gale and some
others entered the front door of the court
house.
TERRY TURNED TO THE LEFT
towards the stairway and had just reached
the second step when the first shot was
| fred. 1t struck him under the right arm
and came out of the left breast, and lit
orally tore his heart to pieces. There was
a moments lull, and then four or five shots
were fired from different directions. One
passed through the arm of Judge Weston
of Fort Bend county, another through
the leg of Henry Pittle, Galvestonian.
Eye witnesses say three men were shooting,
naming them as Vol Gibson, who killed
| Terry, and whose brother Terry had killed
in Wharton, Dan Ragsdale and young
Mitchell, all from Fort Bend county and
all Jaybirds. The citizens of Galveston are
intensely indignant because the Fort
/ Bend county factions transferred the
settlement of their troubles here
Immediately after the shooting six arrest:

HELENA, Montana, Specials Telegram,
United States Marshal Irvine has come
over from Butte to find out the probabilities
of the legislature affording relief to the cri-
sis in affairs at the penitentiary at Deer
Lodge. The institution is already over
crowded, and its population will be greatly
increased during the present session of the
district courts. The buildings are made
quate, unsafe and unfit for the purposes of
prison. There are 179 conyicts in the pen,
and at least seventy-fve more will be re-
ceived during the next sixty days. What is
to be done with them is problem, unless
the legislature forthwith makes an appro-
priation commensurate with the needs OF
the institution. The people of Deer Lodge
are becoming greatly excited. They fear
that an emeute may occur and the town be
looted by the desperate characters in the
pen should they succeed in overpowering OF
escaping from the guard.

The Sioux Reservation MuddIe.


Bishop Hare of South Dakota has taken
ground against the opening of the Sioux
Indian reservation until congress- has passed
a bill which gives the Indians certain things
not called ior in the original act under
which negotiations were made. He has
written q letter to Herbert Welch of Penn
sylvania, in which he states his position
emphatically Mr. Welch is secretary of the
National Indian Rights association, and
has, it is understood laid the bishops letter
before influential members of both houses of
congress The bishops position is that the
commission made promises to the Sioux
which they were not authorized to make un-
der the BILL and which the Indians regard
as part of the conditions under which they
| give nm their lands. He holds that unless
| these promises are carried out faiths broken,
| and the Indians will have just cause to COM
! plain of their treatment at the goyernment's 9
| hands. Bishop Hare is familiar with the
situation in the lands Of the Sioux. He has
| q wide acquaintance with the Indians, and
| last summer took q deep interest in the work
of the commission. He was said to be op-
posed to the cession by the Indians tits not
know Just who have seen copies of his letter.
but this letter might be one reason for delay
inissuing the proclamation. Representative
Pickler of South Dakota has just had an in.
terview with the president on this subject
The president told him that he had not had
time TO examine the report Of the commission
| as fully as he wanted to before issuing the
proclamation. He asked Mai Pickler many
| questions about the probable condition II
which settlers would find themselves If they
were to rush in there in considerable mum
bers at this season of the year, and from tht
tone of his talk gave the inference that hi
wos disposed to act as soon as the press o
business allowed him to do so with O full uE
derstanding OF the situation.

The Two Distinguished Men Spend
an Afternoon Together.

.
an Afternoon Together.
LIVERPOOL Special. To-day ..Mr. Tai
mage of Brooklyn took luncheon and spent
the afternoon with Mr.. Gladstone at Ha-
warden castle. Mr.. Gladstone had tel
egraphed him yesterday "Pray come to
Hawarden tomorrow" DR.. Talmage was
received very cordially by the ex-premier,
and the two gentlemen had a long talk on
religious and political questions. Mr..
Gladstone said:
one question, and that is the gospel. 1t can and
will correct everything needing correction. All
men at the head OF great movements are Christ
ian men. During the many years was in the
cabinet l was brought into association with
sixty master minds, and all but five of them
were Christians. My only hope for the world is
in bringing the human mind into contact with

Then, placing his hand on DR.. aTaImAge's
shoulder, Mr.. Gladstone warmly eulogized
the doctors Christian zeal and expressed
his great qualification, at the marvellous
publicity given to his sermons, which are
now distributed in all lands and read in all
languages. After luncheon the two great
men linked arms and took walk over Mr..
Gladstone's vast estate, its proprietor COM
menting lovingly on his wonderful trees,
as though they were human beings. He
then inquired eagerly if Americans paid
proper attention to tree culture. DIR. Tai
mage asked Mr.. Gladstone if the cause of
Irish home rule would be victorious Mr..
Gladstone frightened up and replied EN-
phatically, 'Yes, when next election comes

Concerning America he said: 'No one

merous beautiful gifts from America, he
went on to say: Everywhere have prac-
tical expression of the tender thoughtful
ness and kindness of the American people.
Towards evening, when bidding DR.. Tai
mage farewell, Mr.. Gladstone pressed into
his hands some books and pamphlets con-
tanning autographic inscriptions, and also
copy of his own Latin rendering of his
favorite hymn "Rock of Ages, and said
"Give my highest regards to President Har-
