necessary to liquidate the debt in
Cured by carrying on the meeting
according to the Methodist plan
of raising funds, but Mr..
Moody obje tied to begging or
imploring or importuning peo-
pie to give for such a cause,
saying it detraCt9d from the
spiritual part of the mt citing to
take such steps.
GLOW then are we to manage to
raise the money!" asked the down.
cast preachers who had day after
day counted the nickel contribu-
tions that had been collected.
81 will give you my pers onal
check for whatever the deficit may
be-" said he.
This was by no means comfort
ing to the preachers who had the
debt on their shoulders.
AS the end drew near, however,
people became more liberal and
the fund collected during the ten
days service amounted to $4,000;
the expense Of the hall amounted
to $l,400 The balance of 5000 was
given to Brother Moody. After
liquidating his $3.50 per day board
bill he had left money sufficient
to tide him over for some time.
Yet man whose salary is a hun
dred dollars per month, every
nickle OF which: he earns, thought it
may be mere pittance Of sum to
offer SO renowned devine. In JUS
tice to Brother Moody, your CORES
pendent will state that he was
loath to accept any thing for his
services here.
Ben Hughes, charged with the
Gordon train robbery on the 18th.
of last October, is incarcerated in
the city prison. He carries his
arm in a sling, having received
gun shot wound when being ar
rested. Hughes talks freely and
protests his innocence, claiming to
be able to establish an alibi
that will prove his innocence
beyond all doubt, if he
is allowed to have the witnesses
he wishes. United States Commits
sioner Chas. Lednum has set the
examining trial of Hughes, Har-
vey Carter and j. S. Smith for
neXi Tuesday. All are charged
with obstructing the United States
mail. The appearance bond of
each was fixed at $3.50, failing to
furnish it they were all remanded.
a little bride-a mere miss of a
girl-highly painted and antiquely
dressed and queerly bedecked, Gre
ated good deal of attention in one
OF our large stores the other day.
Even the cynical old maid with
her matrOnly sister, as well as
husband Of many years, were inter-
ested spectators. The knot had
been tied-that was made fast first
thing-then the trio, consisting of
the sedate husband, his girl wife,
and the elderly, mOtherly chaperon,
who had evidently taken the giddy
young thing in charge, hied them
selves to the shOpBeeper, needful
thing, where the newly made hus,
band willingly settled for the pur-
chases suggested by the chaperOn,
whose tastes your correspondent
admired.
We fell into a chair and watched
the proceedings. Under all OF her
paint and powder, the silly girl
blushed as she shed her wedding
toggery and donned a modest dark
blue suit.
"Presto, what a change! Now if
some one would wash her face she
would indeed be a transformed be.

was too absorbed in her husband
to realize or to care that she was
the cynosure Of all around. She, in
her rustic simplicity, was at that
moment as happy as Miss Anna
Gould is over her recent purchase
or speculation. Perhaps the Sc
quel will prove a far more felicI-
tous one.
Mr.. James IIindman, of Illinois,
spoke to a good sized audience of
populists last night in Labor
hall. Mr.. IIindman is slightly in
disposed and is not at his best,
but he had appreciative listeners.
He says the country is Over-run
with bossism; that the money
barOns take the money and turn it
against the people instead Of help
ing them with II; that money is
not legitimately used; that the
United States must stop speculat-
ing in money and blood, and drive
the wealth Of the nation into
the proper channels of trade" He
said much more and told the PEG.
