On this occasion, 65th Ind. scout, in q very

an abandoned rsb distillery, rich to fairness
with beverage known among the soldiers as

Brahminism for thousands of years, and

told that six ministers at Ongale had

natives.
Last evening Mr.. Clough told of the
difficulties he encountered in his work
among the Hindoos. When he first
went out to that country he tried to win
over the high caste people. Through
opening his Bible at random and
finding certain passage, he was
turned from that course, and hence
forth devoted himself to the low caste
people. The tenor of his remarks
showed that he had been accustomed to
play upon the superstition and credulity
of the natives as an aid to his labors.
Once a man of authority who opposed
his work was told that lie would die by
the hand or the God represented by Mr..
ClOugh unless he withdrew his Opposi-
ton. Within two months the HindoO
was dead from carbuncle. Mr.. Clough
had used that circumstance as per-
suader of other stiff-necked native gov
ern0rs. He related other instances of q
like nature.

THE MAYOR WILL Sign.
He Will Approve the Amended
IiuuOr Ordinance.

He Will Approve the Amended
Liquor Ordinance.
The amended liquor ordinance, which
since it's passage by the council on Fri
day night last has caused so much com
motion throughout the city, is now in
the hands of Mayor Winston awaiting
his signature. The records of the very
stormy council meeting were completed
Yesterday morning and turned over to
President Potter by the city clerk.
President Potter then attached his sig
nature to those measures passed while
he occupied the chair. and at 10 O'Clock
ali were placed in the hands of the may
Or's secretary. During the afternoon Aid.
Haynes visited the Office of the mayor
and as chairman pro TEN of the council
attached his signature to the much
document Lacks is the approval of the
mayor and publication in the official
paper. Up to 5 O'Clock yesterday after
noon the ordinance had not been signed
by the mayor. but he announced that he
would approve it.
Upon being questioned as to the
claims Of illegality, the mayor terSely
said that the courts must settle that
point as he did not propose to try it.
Late in the forenoon e. E. Dyer, w. j..
Dean and w. X. Suddth, of the law

mayor and spent nearly an hour with

ANOTHER DAY of GRACE.
Tim Byrnes Will Not Testify Until
This Morning.

Timothy Byrnes disappointed big
crowd who gathered in Judge Smiths
court room yesterday expecting to see
the dapper grand organizer take the
witness stand in his own behalf. The
court was inclined to be severe with the
defendant for his failure to appear III
answer TO the subpoena served on him.
ByrneS' attorneys, however, told the
court that sick child i'll Chicago had
kept him away. and asked that another
day be allowed in which the defendant
might examine some private papers and
refresh his memory by looking over the
testimony already in. Byrnes' father
in-law. MI. Goodrich. resumed the wlt-
ness stand and finished his story. Be-
fore going away in 1883 Mr.. Goodrich
stated he had given the defendant tin
box containing private papers to place
for him in the Security bank for
safe keeping. On his return the
witness declared he found, on taking
the box from the bank, that the papers
contained within had been tempered
with He was obliged to call into requi-
Sition the services OF a lOckSmith to get
the box open. The defense wanted to
know how Mr.. Goodrich felt when he
found the papers in the box had been
tempered with, but the court. on an OBJ
lection, sustained the counsel for the
plaintiff. The testimony of the lock-
smith was passed for the present.
The defense took an inning as soon
as Mr.. Goodrich finished and began by
calling on James B. Sutherland, of the
ID. c. Bell Investment company. The
witness told of Mr.. Goodrich's visit
to his office, and on looking over the
satisfaction was somewhat surprised
to find that instead of one +. S. Corser
held nine more. Mr.. Goodrich, how
ever, appeared tc be satisfied. Judge
Young, the defendants attorney, held
that according to the testimony of the
last witness Mrs. Goodrich was equit-
ably stopped from denying the validity
of the satisfactions, as she had virtu-
ally approved them by giving consent
TO them through ner husband. Judge
Smith said he would consider the quas-
ton later AS the case had reached a
point where the defendants testimony
was necessary, the case was continued
until this morning.

For what will charms not be worn?

AJAX DEFIED LIGHTNING,
But Dave Clough Defied the Union
League,

The Union league put itself on record
on the saloon question last night, and it
was emphatically on the side
of an enforcement OF the present
ordinance. The meeting was regular
love feast, the sentiment being quite
general and enthusiastic, land the praises
of the noble nine and criticisms of the
tickle five flowed OH unimpeded through
the whole meeting until ID. NJ. ClOugh
was called on for a speech
spoke. Mr.. Clough spread wet blanket
over the party 10y daring to suggest that
il was good politics to vote with the
Democrats. 1t was proper that the adj
ministration should have the enforce
ment of the laws, and if the Democrats
wanted it they should have 1t. He
hated this spy system. But Mi.
Clough was a stranger and was
taken in if he expected other than the
cold and clammy silence which fell
upon the mOguls there assembled.
"EustiS, EuStiS," was then the cry,
seat next the docile Dave" and,
with fire in his eye and thunder
in his voice, pleaded for the
rights of the citizen public. Must the
free-born American stand idly by and
see his neXt-dOOr neighbOr run a dive
without the power to protest against it?
1t was queer majesty of the law which
punished the man who drove his horse
tritle over four miles an hour and
allowed the divekeeper go free. 1t was
the duty of the administration, as Mr..
Clough had said, to enforce the ordi-
nance, but when it aid not, it should
be not only the privilege. but the duty,
of every citizen to demand its enforce
ment.
"Yes, elect some one who WILL" III
terposed Clough.
Must wait two years while my boys
are going to help" retorted Mr.. Eustis,
as burst of applause rolled down the
liue of auditors. Speeches congratu-
latory of the nine were made by
City Attorney Russell, e. S. Cams and
others. Aid. Barrows explained that lie
voted to take the Rand ordinance from
the table, expecting that it would be re-
ferred to the committee on ordinances.
Aid. Parry explained that he was away.
and there were touching references to
Aid. Grimes, lately of the Eighth.
Among those present were Aid. Potter,
Lowell, Bradish and Love.
