Fighting For Christ.
Indeed the taking of this world for
Christ will be no holiday celebration,
but as tremendous az when in India
during tho mutiny Of 1857 fortress
manned by sepoys was to be captured
by Sir Colin Campbell aud the army of
Britain. The sepoys hurled upon the
attacking columns burning missiles and
grenadcs, and fired ON them shot and
she'll and poured on them from the
ramparts burning oil until writer who
witnessed it says, ut was picture of
pandemonium. Then Sir Colin adj
dressed his troops, saying, Remember
the women and children must be res
cued!" and his men replied aye, aye,
Sir Colin! We stood by you at Bala-
klava, and we stand by you here. " And
then came the triumphant assault of the
battlements. So in this gospel campaign,
which proposes capturing the very last
citadel of idolatry and sin and hosting
over it the banner of the cross we may
have hurled upon us mighty opposition
and soorn and obloquy, and many may
fall before the work is done, yet at every
call for new onset let the cry of the
church be: AYE, aye, great captain of
oui salvation! We stood by thee in 9TH
er conflicts, and We will stand by thee
to the last" And then, if not in this
world, then from tho battlements of the
next, as the last Appolyonic fortifca-
ton shall crash into ruin, we will join
in the shout, Thanks be unto God,
who giveth us the victory" "Hallclu-

ENCOURAGE THE NAVAL MILITIA
Lieutenant NIeblack Speaks Highly OF
the Volunteer ORGANIZATIONS.

Lieutenant Nieblack Speaks Highly of
the Volunteer ORGANIZATIONS.
Washington, Nov. 17.-Assistant Sec
rotary McAdoo has transmitted to Sec
rotary Herbert the report of Lieutenant
Nieblack on the operations of the naval
militia during the past year. In en-
dorsing the report Mr.. McAdoo says the
organizations are growing rapidly in
favor, and the interest of the public in
them is steadily increasing. This or
ganization, founded on patriotic zeal, is
entitled to every encouragement at the
hands of the government.
Speaking of the results of his own
inspection of the various battalions last
summer he says that above all things
they need national encouragement and
sufficient boats to perfect themselves in
drill.
Lieutenant Nieblacks report shows
that New Jersey and Georgia were the
only new states to make returns and
share in the allotment of funds during
the year. Under the present system of
allotments an undue share of the money
goes to the older organizations, which.
he suggests, might be corrected by di-
viding only one-half of the total ap-
preparation among the militia pro rata
and then suing the remaining half to
aid the new organizations and those
who have not yet received the loan Of
a ship or boats and arms.

y Frederick, Md, Nov. Thames Go
ings, who assaulted Miss Lille Jones at
the home of Hamilton Geisbert, near
this city, last night. was taken from
Jail by mob of 500 men this morning
and hanged to a tree one mile from
the city. A report reached the city
about midnight that the woman had
died from cuts and blows received at
the hands of negro. A mob had been
gathering in the streets, and unmasked,
but armed with revolvers, the men
marched to the Jail. They had previ-
ously broken into a machine shop in
the neighborhood of the jail and Pro-
cured sledges, crowbars and files. They
made at once for the door of the Jail
and began to batter upon it. Fully 20
shots were fired from the windows
above it by Sheriff A. H Zimmerman
and his deputies, but the mob paid no
attention to them and went on with
the work. The Jail bell was rung to
summon assistance, but none came.
In 20 minutes the large door panels
gave way under the heavy blows, and
the mob burst into the corridor. They
quickly overcame the slight resistance
the officers were able to offer on the In
side, and found the cell in which Go
ings, covering and crying, was con-
fined. The lock was opened, the bolt
swung back and the trembling wretch
dragged out in his night clothes and
stocking feet. In the meantime friends
of the lynchers on the outside had low
cred the electric lamp near the Jail and
cut the rope from it, extinguishing the
light. Goings was led out amid the
bowls of the crowd, the rope placed
around him, and he was hurried down
the road to his place Of doom. He pro-
tested his innocence as they dragged
him along, and begged them not to kill
him. He was promptly recognized by
a number of men who knew him, and
the mob did not hesitate in it's work.
Arrived at the tree, the negro was
asked to confess, but this he would not
do. Two officers of the Salvation Army
asked to be allowed to pray with the
man, and their request was granted.
The Lords Prayer was then repeated,
and the negro and most of the crowd
Joined in. Goings' feet and hands We're
then tied and rope was drawn around
his neck. A man seized the other end
of it, climbed tree and threw the cord
over limb.
Let him go!' was shouted, and quick
as flash he was jerked from his feet
and hung dangling in the air six feet
from the ground. One shot was fired
into his body and in a few minutes he
was dead
The mob during the process of lynch
ing observed order; none were allowed
to fire at him except the one.
member of the mob made a brief
speech, in which he said they were
there with an unfortunate wretch, not
in spirit of malice, but to make an
example of him and teach his race they
must let the women of Frederick coun-
ty alone
The assault for which Goings suf-
fered death was cruel and dastardly
one.

Thousands of Lives and Millions of Dol.
lars in Properly Rescued.
Washington, Nov. 17.-Mr Kimball,
superintendent Of the life-saving ser
vice, in his annual report states that at
the close of the last fiscal year the es-
adjustment embraced 251 stations-1S4
being on the Atlantic, SO on the lakes, 13
on the Pacific and one at Louisville. The
number of disasters to vessels within
the field of operations of the service
during the year was 4S3. There were
on board these vessels 54O2 persons, of
which 1882 were saved and 20 lost; S03
shipwrecked persons received succor
at the stations, to whom 1882 days re-
lief in the aggregate were afforded The
estimated value of the vessels involved
was $S,O01,275, and that of their cargoes,
$2,645,960, making a total value of prop
erty imperilled $10,647, 1886.
OF this amount $685. S5 was saved
and $1,502, $50 was lost. The number of
vessels totally lost was 70.
The record OF the year shows a small
er proportion of loss in property than
in any previous year since the general
extension of the service The cost of
maintenance of the service during the
year was s1,345,324.

VENEZUELA QUESTION BROUGHT UP
Significant Query Sent TO British Gui.
ana py Chamberlain,

Washington, Nov. 16.-Information
reaching here today from Demerera
British Guiana, is to the effect that fur
Their dispatches Of very pointed char
acter have been received from Joseph
Chamberlain, British minister for the
colonies, concerning Venezuela. Their
contents were not disclosed. A meet
ing of the high council of the colonies
was called, at which it was believed the
subject would be fully discussed. The
report in circulation at Demerera and
generally credited is that the minister
Chamberlain, has forwarded dispatches
to the British Guiana government, in
which he inquired whether or not in the
event of measures between that colony
and Venezuela being pushed to ex-
tremes, the colonial government was
prepared to do its utmost in the en-
deavor to sustain the prestige of the
British flag, to which it owes its al
legience. Commenting on these dis
patches, the press of Demerera says
there need be no hesitation in giving an
affirmative answer to the minister.
Why such inquiry should come from
London excites conjecture and the feel
ing Is that it may be due to irritation
because the high council voted down
Mr.. Chamberlain's proposition to buy
Maxim guns, ammunition, ETC. In that
event the next meeting of the high
council is expected to show it's purpose
to support Chamberlain.
Interviews We're had with all the
foreign consuls in British Guiana con-
corning the Venezuelan question. The
French and Dutch consuls refused to
commit themselves in their official ca
pacity. The German consul, Mr.. Web
er, was outspoken against the United
States and in favor of the British po-
sition. England, he says, should insist
on final settlement on the lines laid
down. Weber thinks the idea of any
effective interference by America is alb
surd

Kittitas Sheriff ound His Jail Uuloeted
In the Morning Both Men Returned
Ellensburg, Wash, Nov. 16.-Tbs
morning, when the sheriff went to m
lock the Jail doors in the rear Of bIs
office, he found them ajar and quickly
saw that two prisoners, one charged
with rape, the other with larceny. tba
only ones in the Jail, were gone. Il
transpired that they got out during
the night and went to their homes II
the country. By $3.50 this morning both
had returned to town, ready to be "a.
ken, and were soon lodged in jail with.
out any resistance.
The sheriff, who was the only ponu.
list elected last fall, claims some one
entered his office, took the keys from
the hook on which they usually hang
and liberated the prisoners. The gen.
eral public takes no stock in this tale
but believes he carelessly forgot TO lock
the doors. This incident, coming so soon
after the lynching affair, has called out
a great deal of severe criticism Of the
incompetent administration of this Of
flee.

TRAIN ROBBERS IN THE WRONG CAR
Money Was Their object, hut O1ly Mer.
chaMdise Was at Hand

Philadelphia, Nov. 16-Three desper-
ate men attempted last night to rob
the Adams Express money car on
train leaving Jersey City at O'Clock
but fortunately for the company, they
got into a car which contained only
merchandise. The men boarded the car
at Jersey City and after the train pull
ed out pried the door open and secreted
themselves in the car. AT Morseville,
Pa, opposite Trenton, evidently be-
coming alarmed, they put on the air
brakes and brought the train to a
standstill. The conductor and brake
men saw three men jump from the ex-
press car and run down the track and
across the field. On the floor of the ex-
press car lay the contents of between
20 and 80 packages Nothing had been
taken, the robbers evidently being in
search of money, not merchandise,
