HOW HE DOES 1T.

lie comes right dow:i the chimney
When the Christmas bells are rung.
When little folks are fast asleep.
And stockings all are hung.
All loaded down with pretty things,
With guns and dolls and drums:
So be sure and hang your stockings
Where he'll see 'em when he comes.
You might hear him swiftly coming,
Riding on the winter blast,
His reindeer team a jingling
And their hoof-beats falling fast,
His furs are black with chimney SCOT,
His beard is white with snow.
His sleigh is full of pretty toys.
You ought to hear him go!
He lights upon the sleety roof
And doesn't stop minute.
He Jumps upon the chimney top
And down he plumps within ii.
He pauses on the hearthstone
And he takes little peep
To see if all the curly heads
Are safe in bed asleep.
He goes about on uptoe,
Nor makes bit of noise,
lie fills up all the stockings
With his sugar plums and toys;
And then he gives little laugh,
Pops up the chimney quick,
And off he jingles on the wind.

\ Queer Blaze.

Yesterday afternoon about 3
O'Clock a still alarm was turned in
from the waterworks. calling the fire
department to the wagon bridge
spanning the slough. About mid
way across the bridge blaze had
beer discovered. and the guards at
tempted to extinguish it with buck
cts. but could make no impression
on the flames, and the department
was at last called. and long line of
hose. about $50 feet in all, was
stretched from the corner of Third
avenue and Twenty-fourth, and by
tearing up about 60 feet of the floor
ing The seat of the fire was reached
and quickly subdued. The origin is
thought to have been in cigarette
or gar stump falling between the
two floors of the bridge. About D
O'Clock Chief Brahm returned to the
bridge to see if all was right and
found that the fire was again break
ing out. and the chief and Guard
Nor tgomery carried 10 buckets OF
water. and this time ended the busi-
ness for good, though the guards
kept their eyes on it all night.
The damage will not exceed 500,
and it is expected that it will be re-
paired at once.

Too Vile to Tell.

As the facts become known the
more damnable does the offense APP
pear. That man of W. E. Stevens
intellect and standing in the commu-
nifty should commit such a vile act as
he is charged with, the woman as

incomprehensible The details of
the assault, as told our reporter, are

WORSHIP IN THE WOODS.
Sunday Services at the Tindalrs Grove
Camp Meeting.


CAMP MEETING GROUNDS, TN
DALL's GROVE, Aug. 2S.-There has
not been such a Sabbath on the Milan
camp ground for years. The deep
conviction for sin that had been
fastening itself upon the uncon-
verified was preceptibly deepening.
Notwithstanding the dust, which
filled the air, the grounds were
crowded at an early hour. The tab
ernacle was filled for the early SER
vices, which was that service which
is the child of Methodistism, now
for its winsomeness adopted into so
many other churches-the lovefeast
All who have enjoyed such meetings,
know something of the wonderful
spiritual power of this meet
ing, when we tell them that there
were 200 testimonials given. Rev.
j. Q. Adams lead the meeting.
DR.. J. c. Hartzel, of Cincinnati,
preached a powerful sermon, after
which an altar service was held,
when the mOurners' bench was
crowded with souls imploring God
to forgive their sins and save them
from destruction. In the afternoon
in the tabernacle there was n chill
dren's meeting, led by Mrs. Van Pat
ten, of Japan, and Mrs. White. OF
Moline. Rev. NJ. A. Head preached
in the afternoon. His voice reached
the very edge of the crowd and pro
duced a good effect upon them
Rev. A. d. Traveller preached in the
evening and there were 10 at the al.
tar of prayer.
The Young People
The young people have done granC
work. On Sunday they held ser
vices in n large tent erected for the
purpose of reaching the young. The
work was under the direction of the
Epworth League. Rev. Davenport
of Reynolds, lead in a love feast
Rev. Edwards. of Moline, preached
and Miss Lillis Martin deaconess
formerly of Moline. lead in an altar
service which continued until
O'Clock. The altar was full. The
day was one ofvictory for Christ; abou
50 souls have been saved so far.
There was a little difficulty gu
side the grounds with one who wat
violating the rules Of the place. Blu
inside everything was peaceful, AM
as this is the only arrest made 70
six years, the public can see how
well regulated affairs are.
This meeting is the best for man,
years and the people regret tina; tn
end is so near. MADGE ADAMS.

The Condition of Mrs. Martin Berkens of
Moline.

Moline.
The Moline Republican-Journa
has the following relating to the con-
dition of Mrs. Martin Berkens. of
that city, who accuses Col. W. f.
Stevens, of that city, of assault to
commit heinous offense, and under
which charge he has been bound
over to the circuit court:
AT the request of Supervisor Jen-
kins, the overseer of the poor called
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin
Berkens this forenoon, and found
them as miserable as poverty and
sickness could make them. Mrs
Berkens was in sdelicate condition
at the time Mr.. Stevens called on
business" and the fright has
brought on complications of a seri-
Gus character She is dangerously
i'll, and blood poisoning is feared.
The family, found without food eN-
cept such as the neighbors had taken
in, were given proper assistance by
the overseer of the poor.

Clendon, who live near. unite in pro-
