LESSON SURROUNDINGS.

INTERVENING EVENTS. Elisha return
ed to Bethel, where punishment came
upon the children Tor 'slads") who
Knocked him. Then follows a sketch
of the reign of Jehoram in Israel, the
king prominent in the days of Elisha.
Mesha, king of Moab, revolted after
the death Of Ahab; Jehoram invites
Jehoshaphat to Join him In subduing
Mesha; they make a long march, and
are destitute of water. Elisha is called
for, and promises victory for the sake
of Jehoshaphat. The kings are bid.
den to dig trenches, which are filled
with water, as Elisha predicted; the
Mosbites, deceived by the appearance
Of water, come to the camp and are ut
terly defeated, their king offering up
his own son as a sacrifice. (Mesha is
the king whose doings are recorded on
the Moabite stone.) The next event
narrated is a miracle by which q widow
was supplied with abundance of oil.
Elisha, in passing back and forth from
Carmel to Samaria, was entertained by
a wealthy m of Shunem, who at
length provided a room for him. Sup
posing that her chief desire was for a
son, he promised that one should be
born, which happened in due season.
When the boy was grown (probably
still a small child, he was stricken
down in the harvest-field, and carried
home, where he died. Laying him In
the prophets chamber, the mother asks
her husband to let her ride to see the
prophet at Mount Carmel. She gives
NO reason, when asked, but hastens on
her journey.
PLAoEs.-Shunem, now Salem, on
the south western side of little Her
mon, three or four miles north of Jez-
reel, and about seventeen from Mount
Carmel, which is in sight most OF the
way. Mount Carmel, apparently, a
place of religious worship.
TIME.-The chronology OF chapters
4-8 Is uncertain. The margin of u
reference Bibles accepts the order of
events as historical, but this is improb-
able. Elisha must have been q prophet
for some years when the boy died;
hence b. G. s95 is too early, if his min
istery began in B. @, 896. A more
probable date is B. G. 1872, in the
fourth or fifth year of Jehoram. This
will give room for the seven years
famine spoken of in Chapter 3. II
Jeroham began to reign as late as B. g.
1853, then q correspondingiy later date
must be assigned to the lesson.
PERSONS. The Shunammite woman,
with her servant; Elisha and his ser
want, Gehazi; the woman's son.
lNoIpENTs.-The Shunammite woman
goes to Mount Carmel; Elisha sees her
sfar of, aud sends Gehazl to inquire
particularly respecting each member
of the family, and she answers, 'It is
WELL" Coming to Elisha, she takes
hold of him, and when Gehazi would
thrust her away, the prophet forbids
him, recognizing her distress, but not
knowing the cause. She hints at her
trouble, and Elisha sends his staff by
Gehazi to lay it on the child. The
mother will not leave Elisha, who then
returns with her. Gehazi meets them,
and tells that the child has not awaked.
Elisha goes and prays, then lays him
self upon the child, who becomes warm
Elisha again stretches himself upon the
child, who sneezes and opens his eyes.
Gahezi is hidden to call the mother,
who receives her son, and after bowling
to the ground before Elisha, takes her
son away.

this connection Mr.. James W. Prescott had
this to say yesterday:
"The facts in the case are simply these:
Mr.. Glass entered into an agreement in
lana for $4,000. That agreement was ac-
knowledged before me. as Il notary, on the
9TH of May, and on the 7th Of May 1T was re-
corded by me in Beaver as Mr.. Glass at

conference was held yesterday
between the Mill Committee and
Mr. Moorhead. Quite lengthy discussion
lish the justice of its claims.
The argument that Mr.. Moorhead was
morally bound by the agreement of the Con-
ference Committee was again produced by
the men. Mr.. Moorhead replied that upon
the last day he was in the conference
the committee representing the association
admitted that they were there without
power to act, and therefore any agreement
made by them would not be binding. The
men answered this by saying that two days
previous to the adjournment of the conven-
power to act, and that when d. B. Oliver
signed the scale they were vested with this
power.
1t is likely q meeting of the two lodges at
Shal psburg will be held soon to decide upon
the future course of the men. There might
be disposition ON the part of the men to
concede the contested point but for the fact
that if they do the same concession would
have to be made to all other owners of plate
mills, which would include ID. B. Oliver's
who signed the Amalgamated scale rs it is.
Mr.. Moorhead said yesterday that while he
had asked for reply to the open circular
Yesterday, he would give the men plenty of
time to discuss the matter thoroughly. as he
did not wish to be inst with them. A final
reply. however, will be expected not later

OF One Car Yesterday-what the Men
Say.
Accidents caused by the cars of the Bir-
mingham Electric Limo were numerous yes
terday Car So20 ran into a carriage owned
by j. T. johnson, containing four persons
beside the driver, at South Eighth and Car
son streets. A complete wreck was made of
the carriage, and its contents scattered over
the street. The driver of the carriage
was thrown clear over his horses. Forum
ately the car was stopped just after striking
the carriage and the people escaped with q
severe shaking up.
The people in the carriage were Festus
Madden, Thomas Fitzpatrick and his two
daughters, Misses Ida and Mary Fitzpat-
rick. These persons had just attended the
funeral of Mary Schutter, who was killed
Tuesday night not 100 yards from where the
collision occurred yesterday. As in most
other collisions there seems to be no cause
for the accident except that the car could
not be stopped i'll time. About three
hours later the same car, Wnlle de.
sccDding the hill between South Fifth and
South First streets, ran into wagon loaded
with coal before the speed of the car could
be slackencd, and smashed in the whole
front of the car. BY this collision two horses
were knocked down.
This same car is reported to have had two
more collisions shortly after the one with
the coal wagon, but the reports could not be
verified.
The increasing number of accidents occur

AFTER DOUGHTY'S SCALP.
Citizens of the Sixteenth Ward Wonder
why He Does Not Serve His Sentence
His Physician Says the Workhouse

His Physician Says the Workhouse
Would Mean Death to Him.
There is considerable talk among the resi-
dents of Lawrenceville as to why x-Alder-
man Doughty is not serving his sentence.
Nearly two years ago he was convicted with
the Bauder gang, but has not yet gone to
the workbouse The alleged reason was on
account of ill health, but the residents
there doubt this excuse. One of them in a
letter to THE DISPATCH yesterday said:
"Allow me to call your attention to a GER
thin. yery important fact Why is it that
David Doughty, the Doodle Alderman of the
Sixteenth ward, is allowed to beat the law
and act sick If he is sick man let him be

see Doughty at his window looking like
well man."
A call was made on District Attorney Bur-
leigh last night. and the above was shown
him. He said that he had conducted the
case against Doughty and also argued it be-
fore the Supreme Court. The decision of
the lower ooaPt t5sn ss1ea affirmed bne sen
ence was suspended by. Judge
Stowe for the reason that physicians
certificate was presented setting forth that
Mr. Doughty was in dying condition Since
then nothing had been done, and since
have been District Attorney 1 have been SO
busy looking after new cases and other bust
ness that have not had time to look after
anything else.'
Mr. Burleigh also intimatcd that he would
have the matter looked up and see if the
sentence should not be carried out.
A visit was next made to Mr.. Doughty's
home on Taylor avenue. When an eXplana-
ton was made of the visit to MIR. Doughty
he said it is O case of persecution. 'Some
people out here don't like me" he said, .and
are trying by every means in their power to
do me up, That l am sick man can prove.
Doctor. come here"
DR.. J. S. Venn, his physician, ,strode into tie
room and said that Mr. Doughty was phys
ically and mentally a wreck. He was suffer
ing from enlargement of the heart and
rheumatism, and if taken to the workhouse
would notlive three weeks. The doctor stated
that he was one of the physicians that
had signed the certificate that had been
presented to Court and was of the same
opinion, still he said: "No later than last
Sunday l was called in n hurry and found
Mr.. Doughty suffering from an attack. His
face was livid and he was gasping for
breath $3.50.
Mrs Doughty was here called in and told
the same story. Mr.. Doughty every now
and then would break out in forciDle Ian
guage against his enemies and said he would
be even with some of them who swore
falsely against him.
