EX-DRUNKARDS GIVE TESTIMONY.
A Pleasing Feature of One Of Mr.. MUIR
phys Meetings.

Lorraine Hall was filled yesterday after
noon at the services held under the au-
spices Of the Murphy Union Leagues.
Francis Murphy spoke. 1t was an
nounced that the meeting would open at 3
o'clock. Mr.. Murphy did not appear at
that hour. but the services were COM
menced and continued until his arrival. A
number of the new members gave testi-
monials of the good which the league had
done them. Mr.. Murphy appeared and took
charge of the services. which were started
anew for his benefit. The testimonials
had great effect on the audience. After the
testimonials of the new members a short
time was given to old member who wished
to speak. An old man. bent with age and
with gray hair rose to his feet and sur
prised Mr.. Murphy by a story. He said
that about twenty years ago he entered
one OF the many revivals conducted b. Mr..
Murphy in a small town In Ohio. At the
time he was under the influence of liquor,
and signed the pledge for the novelty OF
wards converted by the influence of the
little blue ribbon. He had not seen Mr..
Murphy during all these years. Yesterday
to speak at Lorraine Hall, and there he
saw Mr.. Murphy for the first time since
he had been converted by that little blue
ribbon. Mr.. Murphy quickly left his seat
on the platform and walked to where the
old man stood and warmly shook hands
with MIN.
The second testimonial was told by a
man in his thirties. He said a number OF
years ago, while Mr.. Murphy was con-
Quoting a series of meetings In a small
town in eastern Indiana, two young men
entered one of the meetings under the in
fiuence of liquor. They took seats I'm the
rear part of the hall and engaged in crit
icisms until Mr.. Murphy called for signers
of the pledge and those who would wear
the little blue ribbon. Many of the village
tough young men were present, and when
the two rose to their feet and staggered TO
the from. and signed the pledge and put on
the ribbon the CONSERVATION of the tough
young men was great and the village was
day. However, the speaker said. the two
bore the tGunts of the tough young men,
who formerly were their companions, but
who were dropped after they had signed
the pledge, with the result that the two
grew up to be men OF temperance, and, as
he hoped, Christians. The speaker con-
cluded by saying he was one of the two.
Mr.. Murphy remembered the incident ex-
actly and called the speakers name, and
rushed to where he was standing and In
dulged in warm embraces and many God

the speaker and shook hands with him and
congratulated him upon his steadiness TO
light such a battle.
Mr.. Murphy then talked in a happy way.

audience for a short time with expressions
and Incidents full Of weight and interest.
He cited the cases of those who spoke dur
ing the services as true examples OF how
the ~farcical world would treat those who

THE PARSONS MURDER.
Police Have Evidence that Hulen Was
with Parsons Friday.

The police are still investigating the
death of Louis Parsons, who was found
murdered on the Vandalia tracks west OF
the river Saturday morning by four tramps.
Chief Splan is OF the opinion that Coroner
Beck did a wise thing in turning John HUI
len over to the police. He believes that
Hulen is very closely connected with Par
sons death. Yesterday detectives learned
that Huien and Parsons stole a sack Of
wheat from a freight car in the vicinity or
PiePs starch works, on West Morris street,
FRIDAY afternoon, and that they after
wards sold it to a man on Eddy street.
They then spent the money for liquor.
This evidence Is in direct opposition 10
the story which Huleu told Coroner Beck
on oath, Saturday afternoon, as 10 when
he was with Parsons. Hulen still refuses
10 make any further statement than that
which ne gave to Coroner Beck.
Coroner Beck stated yesterday that from

The defense took exceptions to a great

give certain instructions asked to be given,
as well as to some that were given by him.
One Of the Instructions asked by the de-

quit. The Indictment charges, in several
counts, that the acts alleged to have been
done were with the intent to defraud the
sons to the jurors unknown. None of the
grand jurors were introduced as witnesses
that the court instruct the jury that this
was a fatal error, and they should return
a verdict of acquittal. Judge Baker re-

Churchill wanted to smoke.

Last night about s o'clock Henry Church
i'll, a negro, boarded a street car at Wash
ington and Meridian streets. As he was
smoking a cigar he stood on the rear plat
form. A white man objected to the smoke
being blown in his face and ordered
Churchill to throw away the cigar. h
Churchill refused to do, and an argument
followed. Finally the white man made a
motion as II TO strike Churchill, whereupon
the latter seized the switch rod and struck
the white man several blows across the
shoulders. A warm fight was about to
follow, when patrolmen Curran and Kru-
ger, who noticed the trouble, boarded the
car and arrested Churchill on a charge of
assault and battery.

The speaker who was to address the labor
meeting at Mansur Hall yesterday after
noon did not arrive, and the meeting was
given up to a general and promiscuous dis
cussion Of most everything. Colonel May
nard spoke for several minutes. on labor
unions, silver and a multitude of other
things. Among the statements made by
him was one to the effect that he had
voted for Cleveland. This provoked q sharp
whistle from one Of his auditors, who was
apparently surprised that a man seemingly
intelligent as Colonel Maynard would admit
such a grave mistake.

standard, they will not be getting poorer
every year, while the working all
its silver mines and smelters, with mint
coming all our silver product for China,
and employing the Chinese nation to
manufacture the articles which have
heretofore come from the eastern states
will be yearly growing richer in material
wealth Of all kinds. The Chinese are
very dextrous, learn quickly, and only
need more money and good bosses to
turn out excellent work from loom and
lathe, and their cheapness makes it easy
to start manufactures in China. Silver
producers having their silver coined, can
use it directly as capital in payment for
wages and material. China has pop11-
lation of over AGO millions and per
capita Of only S1.S0, and is no further
from our Pacific coast than London is.
India has nearly 300 millions and per
capita of 1881 silver. France is to-day
one of the most prosperous nations and
her per capita of silver alone is $13.O5.
Before the per capita of silver in China
and India reaches that of France there
must be 7,400 millions of silver dollars,
or about double the whole silver coinage
of the world up to date From this it
will be seen that there is no danger that
the United States will produce too much
silver, as the whole worlds product IN
1892 was less than 200 millions at the
coinage value Of s1.29 per ounce. 1t is
the reckless way the Uuited States has
of throwing away her advantages for the
benefit of other nations which produces
paupers in a rich country.
