Property.

CHICAGO, July 24.-The last remnant
of life of the old Whiskey Trust was,
upon motion of Levy Mayer, counsel
for the Reorganization Committee,
extinguished by an order entered in
the United States Court by Judge
Showalter to-day. The order is a final
decree, and will have the effect of
winding up the business and affairs of
the old company. 1t makes the re-
ownership of Gen. McNulta perma-
nent, and directs him to sell as speed
lily as possible the remainder of the
property not already ordered sold. 1t
also provides that notice shall be given
to all of the stockholders of the trust
to prove their claims as stockholders
before September l, and that there
after a distribution shall be made of
all the assets in the receivers hands.
1t further provides that the receiver
| shall prosecute the suits already be-
gun by him against Greenhut,
Morris and the other directors, in
which the receiver seeks to recover
81, O00, 900 alleged to have been misap-
propriated, and also seeks to set aside
the sale of the bonds, which were sold
for so cents on the dollar to Morris
and Greenhut while they were di-

BALTIMORE, Md, July 30.-The Bal
timore Democratic Convention chose
delegates to the State Convention ,aDd
adopted the following:
"That we commend as worthy of all
praise the course of Grover Cleve-

and conservative leadership prosper
ity and stability are assured; the
country, who as the apostle of tariff
reform, has brought a large measure
of relief to our manufacturing and
commercial interest, adding to the
wages of labor, while decreasing the
cost of living, and who, by his deter
mined stand for the repeal of the
Sherman silver act, has saved the
country from a cheap. and ~fluctnating
c~urrency-a curse to rich and poor
alike, but most of all, to the poor, who
must need an honest dollar. His ad-
ministration has done much for our
people at home, and has regained re-
spect for the country and its flag

THE BENTON WENT DOWN.
She Struck a Snag Near Arrow Rock
No Lives Lost.

BooNvILLE, Mo-, July 31.-This
morning, between 8 and 8 o'clock, the
steamer Benton, j. b. Harkins, mast
or, struck n stump in the Missouri
river, opposite Arrow Rock, and
sunk in 8 feet of water. She went
from Arrow Rock to the Howard
County shore opposite, and after tax
ing on n lot of wheat, showed out for
her course down the river. Her tiller
rope very soon broke, and the boat
became -unmanagable and struck a
snag and speedily sank. Some 700
or 500 sacks of wheat stored in the
hold were lost, but the deck load, con-
sisting of 5000 or 1900 sacks, were
saved, being rescued by the Arrow
Rock ferry boat. No lives were lost.
The steamer Plowboy left here this
evening to take charge of all the
cargo that was saved.

POPULATION IN HE'LL.
A Presumptuous Man Who Has Taken
the Census.

In n late edition of an English Free
thinkers magazine we find some cur
ious statistics on the relative number
OF souls that have been saved M lost
since the creation of the world. They
are very faulty as well as rashly pre-
sumptiye this latter remark refers to
the profitable number of souls lost
between the date of the birth of Adam
and that of Christ, but are queer ana
interesting nevertheless. The fol-
lowing is a synopsis of the article:
In round numbers the earth has a
population of 1900, 900 900, OF whom
BOG, 0OO, 900 are professed Christians,
the other 1000, OOO, 900 being Moham-
medans, Budhists, Jews, pagans and
h~eathens. The whole race was con-
demned to eternal punishment for the
sins of Adam. This was the fall of
man, and for which there was and is
no redemption save through the death
of Christ.
Biblical chronology gives the earth
a period of 5000 years. From Adams
time down to the date of the birth OF
Christ was 1000 years, during which
time all human souls were lost. The
population of the world during that
1900 years averaged, we will say, l.
DOC, OOO, 900. Three generations, or g.
OOO, 000, 900, passed away each cen
fury.
Forty centuries, therefore, consign-
ed 100, 900, OOO, 900 human souls to eter-
nal fire, and, if we are to believe the
doctrines of eternal punishment, these
souls must still be in hell. In the J.
900 years which have elapsed since
the birth of Christ, 1000, 000, 900 more
of human beings have lived and died.
IL all the Christians, nominal and real,
who have ever lived on the face of
the earth have been saved, they
would not number more than 1s,O00,-
OOO, 600.
Now, if we deduct that latter num-
Der from the grand total Of III ,OOO,-
o 10000, the number which have been
born since the creation, we find that
l59, OO0, 900 of souls are now suffering
the torments of hell fire against a
possible $4,000, DOC, 1000 who have es-
capped. But this is 10 the whole
truth. No one believes that over 10
per cent of professed Christians are
really such. The Calvinists say that
the elect are very few. Say that 10
per cent of the so-called Christians
have been saved, which is very doubt
full, then heaven contains a population
of less than 1,sOO, OOO, 900, while that
of hell aggregates upward of 100000

A DRY SUNDAY.

by Charles A. Dana, of the New York
sun.
All day there is a look of care
On mems faces everywhere;
Above the city high
A brazen sky
Hangs like the cover of a pot,
Dry, hot;
And on the street
You meet
Men with lolling tongues
And rafting lungs;
And every eye
Scorched dry
That heavenward turns its gaze,
And prays
That Sunday be as other days.
With souls as dry as dust
And skins like crust
They painting go,
Now fast, now slow,
Like hounds upon n trail,
Only to fail
With one despairing cry:
'Dry! Dry! Dry!!!"
Painting, they lean
On the closed green
Shutter, and by scores
Try the side doors,
But all to no avail;
Wan and withered and pale,
Like a caught caravan in the desert
sands,
They wander in bands
With the worst
Kind of a raging thirst;
And they swear
At the arid air,
Finding no humidity anywhere
A dreadful drought
In the mouth
Parches and scorches and a and
burns
In turns;
And their red hot teeth
Clean underneath
Their cracking lips,
Yearning for nips
OF rum
That never come.
0, it is pititul
With a whole city full;
Never a cooling draught
May be quaffed,
Never a bung
Gives tongue
Nor a spigot trickles its golden food
To temper the blood,
Which hotter grows
AS the simeon blows
Its dreadful dryness down
Upon the town.
AS the night comes on
And the blistered dawn
Shrivels to eve at last
In the blazing blast,
Then
Men
Looking up to the dark, dry sky,
Cry:
"Well,
This is h-l!n
And the echo answers:
"What did you think it was?"

The GnSnel For the AGED.

The old peoples meeting at the
First Baptist church Sunday morning
was a gratifying success. j. E. Jesse
was precepter and led the singing,
without a choir or instrument of
music. The songs were, "When | Can
Read my Title Clear" "On Jordan's
Stormy Banks I Stand" and elbow
Firm a Foundation" Elders H. p. S.
Willis and w. ]. Jesse, two pioneer
preachers, led in prayer. Pastor Pitt
man preached from Isaiah 46:4, Il
passage giving Gods promise to the
aged. The preacher spoke of the pc
culiar trials of elderly people, their
failing physical powers, their loss of
loved ones, their decreasing ability to
earn money, their nearness to death.
Then he spoke of the duties and priv
ileges of old age, how the old and ex-
perienced should shake hands with
the present generation and be inter
ested in the present as well as in the
past, how the certainty that time is
short should stimulate the utmost
]earnestness to do good, how the old
should not give up and retire from
hearty activity until compelled to do
so.
Then the preacher with the glorious
gospel gave the Christian assurance
of Gods Interchangeable goodness, of
triumph over all trial, victory over
death, of everlasting rest and Joy in
heaven. And he pleaded with aged
people who are not trusting in Jesus
to now give themselves to the Lord.
The pastor at the conclusion of the
sermon, asked those who had lived
three score years and more to stand
in the aisles and join hands and make
a circle about the central tier of pews.
1t was a stirring scene when the
elderly people took hands and stood
along those aisles singing praises to
the God. Many who had lived longer
than fifty years joined with the older
people and when the circle was COM
pleted and the veterans of the cross
all stood hand in hand, they sang,
Zen down to old age allmy people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, interchangeable love,
And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn
Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be
borne

THE TAR HEEL STATE.
Rev. Mr.. Pittman Tells How They
Make T~urpentine i'll South
Carolina.

Rev. n. X. Pittman returned Satur-
day night from a tour OF 1000 miles
through the South. lie spent some
days in the turpentine regions OF
North Carolina. Here is his speech
about t%urpentine.
'sTurpentine is Il product of pine
trees which grow multitndinously
along the South Atlantic Coast. The
trees are very tall and graceful. The
woodsman cuts with an axe a quart
box in the tree near the ground and
about every week chips or hacks just
above the box so as to keep the veins
of the tree open and the turpentine
running. The turpentine is dipped
from the boxes and put into barrels
and the barrels are hauled away to
the still.
ssThe distillery is composed of a
| kettle or cauldron which holds about
fifty gallons, a tank which holds 500
| gallons of water, Il still-wornn ninety
| feet long circling in the tank and con-
| nected with the cauldron by a goose
neck pipe.
THE kettle is fastened into Il brick
furnace. Six barrels of t~urpentine
makes d charge for the kettle. n
roaring fire burns Pc hours and by
that time the spirits have been eN-
tracted from the turpentine. The
still worm entering at the top of the
tank empties the spirits at the bot
tom. One charge of six barrels will
make about AZ gallons of spirits OF
turpentine and four barrels of resin,
| The turpentine costs the stiller S1.5l
q barrel or SO for a charge. He gets
% cents a gallon for the spirits and 81
| a barrel for the resin. So that one
charge making - gallons of spirits
and four barrels of resin brings S14.92
He is out 50 for the dip or turpentine
80 cents for barrels for spirits and 4t
cents for four resin barrels and about
60 cents for labor-$10. $3.50 that HI
clears about 81. His stilling plant is
worth about $3.50. He keeps a store
and barriers goods for turpentine ano
makes big profits.
"And yet l saw the other day two
gallons of coal oil poured into a barre
of spirits of turpentine. This ugly
thing was done in broad day light a
q still in North Carolina last week
The coal oil did cost about ten cents
gallon and the spirits brought 26 cents
Il gallon and so the adulteration of 81
gallons with two gallons made only 3;
cents for the wicked man. 1t is too
| bad.D

DEMOCRATS OF IOWA.
Results OF Numerous County Conyen.
tions Indicate a Victory for
Sound Money Forces.

DIES MONIES, To-, July 2s.-The re-
suits of the county v
tons that were held by the Democrats
all over the State to-day to name del
egates to the Democratic State Con-
vention at Marshalltown on August Z
practically assures that the conyen
ton will make a declaration in line OF
the policy of the national administra-
ton on the currency question. The
results have been highly satisfactory
to the administration leaders.
A few months ago the silver move
ment swept this State and it seemed
that there would be no Democracy
left except the Democracy of free sill
yer. The silver men were confident
they would carry the State Conven-
ton and their opponents almost con-
coded it to them. But the admins
tration people were not idle. They
have worked and have been aided by
the reaction from the ideas that were
SEN over the country with the publ
cation of Harvey's books.
OF the county conventions held thus
far about two-thirds have declared
for s'sound money or have made no
reference to the issue, which amounts
to the same thing, for the silver men
have everywhere made a fight.
There is not a Democratic county i'll
the State that will favor free coinage
declarations by the convention. The
counties that will send silver delega-
tions are those in which the Republi-
cans have absolute control.
1t is expected that the convention
will make a declaration of principles
in line with the national platform of
1892. The silver men will be on hand
and prepare for a fight. They will
undoubtedly make it n of the hot
test conventions the State has seen in
years, but there will at no time be a
doubt of the outcome. The ''sound
money! men will have the numbers
and also the management that will
assure their victory, and the silver
men will take their defeat well. There
will be nc split in the party and no
defections of Importance.

SHOT WHILE PRAYING.
Henry Bacon Assassinated in aChurch
at Evansville, Ark.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, July 31.-Last
night, while a revival meeting was in
progress at Evansville, Crawford
county, in the little village church the
services were brought to an abrupt
end by the discharge of a Winchester
which resulted ia the death of Henry
Bacon, a young man who owns the
largest general store in the north
western portion of Crawford county.
The evangelist conducting the meet
ing was praying at the time the shot
was fired, and youngBacon was seated
near a window in a suppliant attitude,
his head, buried in his hands, resting
upon the window sill. The bullet from
the assassin's.gun tore the top off Ba-
cons head. Nearly all the male at
tendant's at the church went in search
of the assassin and continued the hunt
until morning without discovering
any trace of the fugitive. The mo-
tive for the deed is a mystery.

BLOOMERs DISRUPT A CHURCH
The Daughter OF the Richest Man in
Mason, Ohio, Openly Deies
Public Opinion.

CINCINNATI, o., Aug. IA days
ago Miss Ida Coleman, daughter of
the richest man in Warren county,
and organist of the Methodist church
at Mason, bought a wheel. Then she
appeared at the base ball park in red
boomers. The pastor, Rev. J. j.
WadsWorth, smiled at her, but others
derided her. Saturday night n COM
mittee waited on the minister and
commanded him to denounce bloom
ers the following day. Sunday Mr..
Wadsworth did not refer to Miss Cole
man, bicycle or boomers. That night
he was told that he either had to de-
nounco Miss CoIeman's riding habit or
resign. He was given until last night
to do SO.
Last night Il prayer meeting was
held. Parson Wadsworth was in the
pulpit. The house was crowded. Miss
Coleman waited until the audience
became restless for music. Then she
strobe down the aisle dressed in
boomers as red as the sun, and took
herseat at the organ. Some familiar
tunes were sung and played, but be-
fore the minister could begin to play,
his audience, or most of it, had dis
persed. AS they wer leaving the
building they were Kissed. Afterward
Parson Wadsworth and Miss Cole
mans friends continued the services.
