DEPRAVITY IN BOSTON.
A Preacher Makes sensational DIscIO Os-
ure to His Congregation.


BOSTON, Mass, June 19.-"Boston, the
highest city of culture. is the lowest in
morality" These were the striking
words of the Rev. Isaac j. Lansing a
the Park street Congrec cationaI church.
They were uttered in the course of his
sermon, the subject being "a Moral Re-
vival II eeded.'
81 have held in my hand" :" he said later
in the sermon, ''within the past week a
list of eighty places, principally on three
streets, where vice exists. The prOprie-
tors of these places of infamy have no
hesitancy in making the location of these
dens public. Oh, no. l have seen their
advertisement in the papers in this city
on Sunday"
"a man," said he, 'sattired in a blue
shirt and plain clothes. came to me after
the morning services today.
'''DO you want to save the souls of
four young girls from a life of infamy,'
he asked.
"'Most assuredly I do at once an
swered.
"sWelP said he, there is a mother. the
parent of these children, who has turned
them over to life of infamy under her
own roof. l am said he, "a desperate
man, l have been to prison several
times, in fact my sustenance is even now
obtained by means OF crime. Yet. bad as
1 am, am not SO far gone as to see these
children enter life of slavery and per-
tidy without raising a hand to save
them Will you save them?' he asked"

COURT HOUSE INJUNCTION.
Judge Hazsn Takes the Case Under Adj
Xisems snt-Court Notea.

vtsemsnt-COurt Notes.
The trial of the court house injunction
case was concluded in the district court
today, and Judge Hazen announced that
the case would be taken under advise
ment Ordinarily the case would not be
decided until next Monday, but the inn
portance of the matter as public work
may lead to its being decided before that
time. Whichever way the case is decid-
ed there appears to be little doubt that it
will be carried to the supreme court
Judge Webb, for the plaintiffs, asked
County Attorney Stafford in court to
agree to act with them that the case be
advanced on the docket of the higher
court SO as to have it speedily settled,
but Mr. Stafford replied that he could not
do 80 until after consultation with the
board of county commissioners.
Judge w. G. Webb made the principal
argument in favor of the Injunction of
the work. He claimed and cited num-
ber of authorities to prove that home
stead, which the Jockheck property Is,
possesses a sacred character which
makes it exempt from confiscation with
out the owners consent He claimed
that any law in conflict with this was un-
constitutional.
He said that homestead and human
being are the most sacred things in the
jurisdiction of the court. He argued
also that the court house would be just
as desirable built out to the sidewalk as
further back, and mentioned the Topeka
federal building and the Kansas City
court house as examples of this.
Judge Hazen suggested to the attor-
neys that it would be well for them to
get together and agree on a statement of
facts, and the lawyers agreed to do so.~

Kansas Towns Flooded by CIOudbursts-
Mulvane Ten Feet Under Water.


Mulvane Ten Feet Under Water.
WICHITA, Kans, June ia heavy
storm visited this city and county last
evening. The streets in this city were
flooded and in many cases the sidewalks
were obstructed by fallen timbers and
shade trees. The worst part of the storm
centered at Mulvane, twelve miles south.
The cloudburst flooded the entire
country, and grain fields were under
water which soon flooded culverts and
drains and SO covered the Santa Fe rail-
road tracks as to put out the fires in the
engines, holding trains for several hours.
The town part of MuIvane was under
water to a depth of eight or ten feet and
many houses were moved off their foun-
dations. Boats improvised from wagon
beds and RATS made of lumber were
launched and the work of rescue began.
Probably twenty families were taken out
by this means.
There were no casualties, but the prop
erty loss is heavy. One big wagon
bridge was carried out completely and
bumped up against a second bridge and
moved it from its foundation. The water
subsided rapidly after doing much dam
age.

THE NORTH SIDE VOTE.
S. S. Urmy Looks Up the Figures and They
Given Below.

Deputy County Attorney s. s. Urmy
who lives in the First ward denies that
larger vote was polled at Saturdays pri-
maries than was polled two years ago, as
charged in the morning paper today.
He has taken the trouble to hunt up the
correct figures and finds them to be as
follows:
5S1 voted Saturday. In 1892 there were
S54 votes cast for the Republican cleo
tors. There were 503 for the Populists
and for the Prohibitionists. There
were $50 votes cast for Charles Curtis
and about 503 for the county ticket.
Mr.. Urmy says that while some Demo
Gratis may have voted he thinks there
are between 1000 and 1900 Republican
votes in the ward.
