SORT OF RECIPROCAL CONVERSION

In Which the saint First Converts the Sim
ner, and Later the sinner Converts the
saint-A Small Business in Bad Money
Done for the Glory of the Lord. and a
Commission in Cash-UngOdIy Circus
Men Made Victims of a Deal in 'Oueet''
Dads Dollars.
CHICAGO, May 29-Capt. Thomas Porter
returned from Duquoin yesterday, where,
at a lonely farmhouse at midnight of
Tuesday, he and United States Marshal
Ed Bacon captured the second preacher
counterfeiter that has been arrested with
in a week. The case is uneaualed in the
history of the United States secret service.
The second capture is Rev. George Vancil,
pastor of the Mission Baptist church, of
circuit about Duquoin. Vancil has been
preacher of the word for eight or ten
years, and the Methodist denomination
Chained him when he first went into the
pulpit. For seven years he was licensed
preacher of the Methodist persuation, but
he left the church in 1889 because Of
charges Of fa!sehood preferred against
him by some Of his flock, and he then en-
tered the Baptist fold, and when caught
was pastor OF the Baptist church, which
held its meetings in the old country school
house.
How Nancil Met Holmes.
In 1859, a. Capt. Porter's story goes,
Nancil was holding revival services in
Polk county, and hts success was great,
! the country folk round coming in scores 10
I hear him. one night, after a more than
successful revival, Rev. Nanch was over
taken on his walk homeward by Jerry
Holmes, the preacher who was captured 10y
| Capt. Porter last week for counterfeittng
| Holmes AT that time was the town sinner,
and all efforts to reform him had been
| failures, and he had been given up a. a
| lost sheep. When Holmes met Vancil on
the dark road homeward the two began a
discussion Of religion, Holmes violently
| attacking it
| And Converted Bad Sinner.
| Nancil stopped his man in the road, and
beneath the stars preached fervent ser
mon to the erring one. and when he had
| finished Holmes confessed his errors and
| declared his conviction. He fell on the
ground, and with his hands toward heaven
declared he would forever enounce his
evil ways, and he afterward said that he
had been converted like Paul on his way
F! to Damascus. The conversion of the hard
| ened sinner was hera!ded throughout Poll
county a miracle, and the people mar
| veled greatly at the stRangeness of it.
Tempted by His Convert, He Fell.
Il wasn't long after Holmes conversion
however. and when he had become
preacher OF the word. that. walking K
church with the man who had saved him
Holmes Offered Nancil counterfeit dol
lar. Nancil professed to be very mucl
shocked, but he says an idea suddenly sho
through his head, and he accepted two O

Porter, after his capture, because / want
