OAKLAND, Ills. Oct 3i.-The litil
town of Warrenton, three miles souss
of here, is considerably excited owe.
the actions of Rev Mr.. Lawrence Of
the East Donica circuit.
On Saturday night as George Brown
OF this city was passing along Main
street, Warrenton. he was astonished
70 meet Rev. Mr.. Lawrence at red
only in nightshirt and widebriDlmed
straw hat. AS the pastor passed him
Mr.. Brown noticed that his eyes were
tightly closed, and surmising that he
was q somuambulist. he determined to
follow him.
When Rev. Lawrence reached the
gate of the Christian churchyard he
entered, closely followed by Mr.. Brown
and, walking to the south side of the
church, he grasped the Iightningrod
and began to ascend. Selling him by
the shirt Mr.. Brown endeavored to pull
him down, but the cloth gave way and
the minister climbed to the eerniee and
then crawled to the incline of the roof
seating himself Oh the roof. He slid to
the bottom of the incline catching by a
slight projection at the very edge.
He continued this performance until
MIR. Brown becamed alarmed and seiz-
ing the rope of the church bell he be-
gan to ring for help. The people of the
town installing it fc- q fire alarm
turned out en- masse and assembled in
the churchyard to the number of 300
and watched the minister's strange ac-
lions for nearly half an hour. At the
end of this time he decended the rod
and passing through the crowd made
his way to his clearinghouse.
On being interviewed he declared that
he knew nothing of what had hap
pened that night. He now sleeps with
his leg chained to bedpost. A young
lady secured the piece of the shirt that
was torn off, dividing it among her
friends as souvenirs of the incident.
She says she will put her piece in a
crazy quilt The people. who witnessed
the performance enjoyed it very much
and the minister is none the worst ex-
cept a severe cold.

At Last.

After many days and weeks and
months of waiting the public can
breathe freely at last for the repeal
bill now only awaits the ac-
ton of the House and the signature
of President Cleveland to become a
law. The financial crisis of 1893
will pass into history as one of the
most remarkable the world has ever
known. Remarkable both for its
cause and its effect The bill pro-
yiding for the repeal of the purchas-
ing clause of the Sherman act has
caused more strife in political
circles than any measure discussed
in the last decade. It is useless to
review the conditions of the recent
panic. The depression in silver, the
boarding of money and the general
want of confidence came, and the dis
astrous results were felt throughout
the entire world. In the midst of
these difficulties assistance seemed
vague and underlined; thing to be
wished for, hoped for but not felt
The President, firm in the belief
that the necessary aid could be
rendered by Congress, convened that
body in extra session. His message
upon the subject of our financial
trouble was but the formal an
nouncement of his policy. Senators,
Representatives and the people gen
orally knew that unconditional re-
peal would be urged, and for that
purpose our National Legislature
had been called together a bill
formulated by Mr.. Wilson passed
the House and then began the battle
royal; a factional fight in every
sense of the word. Party lines were
east to the four winds and sectional
prejudice held full sway. Senators
whose earliest thoughts we're loyal
to Democracy fought strenously to
overcome the decided will of a
majority There is something
strange aud gloomy in a retrospec-
ton which finds so many of our
heroes confronting each other.
When Vance, Vest and Cockrill OPP
pose a Democratic administration.
the public hesitates. 1t thinks,
but then it still expects Congress to
act With Voorhees, and his col
leagues as champions Of the repeal
doctrine, unnecessary delay was an
noying, to say the least of It, For
three months the troublesome ques-
ton was argued. 1t could have been
settled in one. Now that it is
disposed of let prejudice and inter
nal dissention be banished from the
Democratic party Let every man
do his duty and his whole duty with
free heart and a willing hand.
