A large congregation assembled last
night at the revival service in the Battery
street Methodist church. Once again Mr..
Arne moved the entire audience by his
feeling rendition of the song IAN for
Jesus" A novel feature Of these meet
ings is promise service, which precedes
the sermon. Many repeated promises
from the Bible that had been made pre-
cious to them. Last night Mr.. Bell
preached with much fervor on the text
Awake, thou that sIeepest, and arise from
the dead, and Christ shall give thee light"
After the sermon quite number rose in
response to his invitation. and soon the
altar was crowded with anxious seekers.
This was the best night yet Of the meet
ings. A conservation service will be held
this afternoon at 2 O'Clock and preaching
at 7:45. All are invited to these meet ings

why the Patrol Wagon Did Not Go.

When Acting Mayor Miller learned yes
terday morning that the patrol wagon did
not respond to the fire on Eighth street.
near Stewart. in which Mrs. w. g. jenkins
was injured. he wanted to know the reason
why, and from information obtained it
would appear that he tried to throw the
blame on Capt. +. +. Sims, against whom
he has q grudge. A OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
reporter also tried to find out why the
patrol wagon did not go on the first alarm.
and found out that it was due to the recent
order of the police commissioners doing
away with the night registering clerk.
There is no ordinance or rule compelling
the officer In charge to send the patrol
wagon to a fire, although il has been the
custom. The patrol wagon did not so to the
fire because it would have left the police
station with only one man.

VIII Take Look as Crows Nest Pas.
Nelson Tribune

John Haggart, minister Of raiiw avs, will
shcttly combine business with pleasure
ant. take a trip 20 the Northwest and Brit
ish Columbia. lie will visit the Crows
Nest pass and see how many lines OF rails
il will contain. Engineers have already
reported that there is room for four. But
AT any rate Minister Hagsart will visit
the spot. so that he can speak with self
know ledge on the matter. The Canadian
Pacific have already the right to run
through the pass. bus that right will net
be given to any one company alone--other
roads will have running powers over it.
However, the first company to obtain this
right has always the advantage. There
is tho expense and trouble OF getting a
connection with the senior road 50 as TO
be able to sc; over it. All these things
will bc looked into by tho minister of
raj ways. lie will be accompanied by Mr..
Van Horne. president of the Canadian
fas1iic railway. and they may be expected

ders. Mrs. jackson possessed lovely
disposition and deep personal piety. In
her youth she contracted an unfortunate
alliance with one her inferior in every
respect, and from whom she was di-
yorced. The love Of General jackson for
his amiable and interesting wife amount
cd 10 idolatry, and during his mOmen-
tOus career he never escaped from the
influence she left behind her. He wore
her miniature on his heart till his death,
and, no matter what his cares OF pleas
ures, at the close Of each busy day the
president retired 20 quiet room TO com
mune with the portrait and the Bible Of
his dead wife.
Mrs. jackson cared very little for the
honors Of this world and ionged for
nothing 80 much an the hour when her
husband would finish with politics, for
he assured her that when that time ar
rived he would become a Christian.
When jackson was elected president his
wife said 10 those about her: For Nr.
Jackson's sake / am glad; for my own
never wished it. would rather be a
doorkeeper in the house Of my God than
10 dwell in that palace in Washington. "
II was while making preparations for
her departure from the dearly loved
Hermitage and the little chapel built by
her husband for her own especial use
that this gentle soul received the rude
shock which caused her death. She was
like a mother 10 every servant On the
estate, and wishing 10 leave all comfort
able for the winter made trip into
Nashville to buy supplies and clothing
for those who were dependent On her.
Weary from Der shopping she went into
the parlor Of Z hotel 10 rest while waiting
for the family coach to carry her back TO
The Hermitage.
Suddenly she heard her name spoken
In AN adjoining room and her character
basely and cruelty illuminated. For
some time she sat there, pale and cold,
listening 10 accusations against herself
which had been freely circulated during
the campaign, but which her chivalric
husband had carefully kept from her
knowledge. The popular tradition adds
that she was ssized with spasmodic dis
Ease Of the heart, from which few nights
later she died.
The grief Of jackson was agOnizing,
and from that hour he seemed b live
b. avenge her wrongs. Probably during
no other administration Of the govern
ment has personal feeling entered 70
largely into official appointments az in

which she was devoted, and from which
destiny decreed she should not wander.
