With Two Housebreakers.
East End residents were awakened early
yesterday morning by lively fussillade of
bullets at Edward Kneeland's house, Wal
nut and O'Hara streets. Shortly after mid
night he thought he heard burglars in the
rear of his residence Securing his re-
volver, he went to J. T. Steyther who
lived in the next house. Armed with pistols
both men proceeded to the rear of William
Kneeland's residence, where they saw the
thieves at work and opened fire.
The men broke for the side fence, but
were headed off by Mr.. Kneeland's son.
They then returned the fire, but none of
their shots took effect. 1t is not known
whether the thieves were injured by the
shots fired at them.

In Other Pulpits---What Min

terday.

1t is very evident that Rev.G.L. Nor
rill has determined not only to preach
against the Sunday saloon, the drug
store, the blind pig and the other open
violations of the laws of the city, but to
exert every other means in his power to
put stop to these things as far as pos
sible. His coadjutors, Rev. T. F. Allen
and DR.. Wells, have apparently lost
their zest in the fight since they were
called before the grand jury to
tell what they knew about the
breaking of the laws and where
they had gathered the facts for
their scathing sermons, and were subse-
quently roasted by that august tribunal
for being unable to make definite and
explicit accusations. These two gentle
men have rather showed disposition
to drop the matter, but the grand jury
roast has had a contrary effect upon
Mr.. Morrill,, who has decided to accept
the challenge of that body, who told
him that they would allow him two
weeks in which to secure evidence to
bear out his charges. He started with
the Eighth ward drug stores, and has
already secured several bottles of evil
dence, which will probably be submit
ted to the grand jury to-day.
Last evening after preaching scorch-
ing sermon of thirty minutes duration.
the vigorous divine immersed himself
in a bath tub to reduce his temperature
to the proper pitch, donned ali old suit
of clothes, and in company with two
young men, members of his congrega-
ton, hustled down town to hunt for side
doors. They visited three places which
they found no difficulty in entering,
and secured abundant evidence to con-
vince the grand jury that the saloons
are not all tightly closed on the Sab
bath. He was seen last evening and
expressed himself somewhat as follows:
II don't condemn this thing merely
from moral point of view, but we have
laws, and why not enforce them.
Mayor Winston has taken his oath that
he will enforce the laws to the best of
his ability, and why does he not live up
to his oath? If the saloons are going to
be open on Sunday, say let them keep
the front doors open, and let the law be
abrogated."
On the subject of drug store blind
pigs. he said:
81 would rather see saloon in the
unfinished part of my church, and help
the fellow to put in his stock Of liquor
than to have the drug stores sell the
stuff. Then, if my boy went there. /
would know what he went for. When
he goes to drug store you can't tell
what he goes after. He may want
bunch of toothpicks or glass of soda
water, and he may want drink of liq-
uor out of the soda fountain, OF even
out of the demIjohn. [ say, let them
show their hands and tell US what they
are going to do. l can't tell what the
