road this morning. Rice had been miss
ing for several days, having
gone on on his annual spree,

to the slmshouse last night when he was
overcome by the cold and died OF ex-
posure. DR.. J. O. Fahey, coroner's ply
stefan. went TO The almshouse this after
noon to examine the remains, and 10 is
probable that Coroner Sparks will
give certificate. Rice was about 80
years old, had no immediate relatives
and was native Of Ireland He had
been an inmate of the almshouse for
several years and had dug many of the
graves in the burying ground there

BEFORE THE JURY
Another Damage Case Now Being Heard
In Superior Court.

In Superior Court.
Yesterday afternoons session of court
was occupied in hearing argument in the
Dillon case.
Andrew 2 Sanborn opened for the
defence and was folio we'd by Levi c. Bird.
Charies B Lore, for the plaintiff, followed
Mr.. Bird and did not finish his argument
until court adjourned at 80 o'clock
The Superior Court met this M orning
at 10 o'clock
Immediately after court assembled
Chief Justice Comegys charged the jury
in the case of Dillon vs. Bishops Becker
and Curtis. The jury retired at 10 80
o'clock.
Levi &C. Bird gave notice that the
damage cases Of William Mckinney, john
Scott and Anna Maria Racine against the
p, w. & B. H. r had been settled.
The case of Henry o. Collins, vs. Gal
lqgher Kitse Imam g. Fox, was settled by
the plaintiff receiving Judgment Of $253.
The first case tried was that of the
Vaughn Morocco Machine Company of
Salem. Mass vs. Isaac Trimble Quiglev
Bates and harrington for plaintiff
Spruance and Curtis for defendants. The
action Is brought for the re-
covery Of the price of machine
sold and delivered to Mr.. Quigley
for use in his morocco factory at Fourth
and Monroe II was operated for twenty
FIVE days on thirty days trial Quig
ley's factory was burned on the twenty
fifth day of the trial and the
machine was in tha building
at the time OF the FIRE. Mr.. Qulgley
after the fire peremptorily ordered the
machine to be taken out by the company
furnishing 1t. The cost of the machine
was $500 The machine was shipped by
Quigley to salem, Mass, where it still
lies. the Vaughn Company having 10.
fused to receive it.
Charles B. Vaughn of the Bond
Morocco Company, who furnished the
machine to Quigley, was the first witness
called His evidence corroborated the
above statement of the case made to the
jury by Mayor Harrington. Further
than that no complaint was ever made
that the machine was not operating
satisfactorily. The Vaughn Company
waited for sixty days before the bill was
presented, and then Mr.. Quigley re-
fused to pay the bill. Three month after
the machine was put in, the purchaser
shipped it back to the manufacturers
who refused to receive it
The witness was very shrewd and by
his evasive answers gave Mr.. Sprunanee
much trouble upon the cross exami-
nation.
Mr.. Sprunance then addressed the jury
before he called any witnesses for the
defence.
Court took recess until 2.3O O'CLOCK

BISHOP WHITAKER.
Ne Preaches a Eorctble Sermon in St.
Andrews Church.

Andrews Church.
Right Rev. o. w. Whitaker, bishop of
Pennsylvania. preached the sermon at
last evenings service in st. Andrews
Church Bishop Leighton Coleman,
Reys. Charles r. Murray, William h.
Moffstt, David Howard and H. Ashton
Henry were present Bishop Whitaker's
text was l Peter iv, IS: And II the
righteous scarcely be saved where shall
the ungodly and the sinner appear
The sermon was delivered in the sim
pest. vet most forcible style, the bishop
explaining the ground that although a
wicked man repent, the influence he has
exerted for evil can never be checked
To be saved Is to be free not only from
punishment, but also from the con
sciousness of sin. The hardest problem
for God il the saving OF bad men Those
who sin are unconscious of the injury
they work The act cannot be
removed although the effect is re-
moved. The deeds eftea pass
from one life TO another and no one
knows how the wickedness is spread A
man who leads a life of Righteousness
and debauchery, repents but what of his
victims. One may be dead, another con
Can his repentance save those who have
died in their sins or those who have fallen
through tee devices Of one OF his victims
This is an extreme case. but there are
many receptions and they leave thsr
black marks
Those who mend their ways and do
right are in constant grief at their former
wrong doing We cause great injury by
doing those things we should not have
done and not doing those things we
should have done. This is not question
Of our answer to you, but to ourselves
1t is our own accusation of ourselves
With men al things are imoos-
sible with God all things are possible.
We cannot he saved by anything we are.
It must be by Gods wisdom 1t is posi-.
Bile to be saved the text only implies the
succeeding difficulty. We can rise with
Christ to q higher plane Of existence. We
can become righteous in Him. But we
must live in His love 1t must not be a
spasm of righteousness. Life is a
struggle, warfare, an education. Saliva
tion is a fight with self and sin. in which
Christ aids men to overcome the nselves.
