REWARD AND PUNISHMENT.
Al Mankind Not to share the same

The doctrine of reward aud punishment
was the theme upon which Rev. William l..
Murray discussed at lIanscom Park Metho-
dist church yesterday morning. The speaker
antaSonzed The belief advanced by a certain
school OF philosophers that all humanity
would share the same fate Ia the next world
This Idea was contrary 20 the whole spirit
OF the bible. The idea Of reward and pun
ishment was everywhere carried through the
scriptures While We should exalt the mercy
and the love of God We must also exalt
His Justice God was not unrlghteous and
the martyrs and devoted men who had sac
rlhced their earthly lives for Christ were
certainly having their reward.
Mr.. Murray advanced the belief that even
in this world the righteous were rewarded.
This would follow even in the natural order
OF things. IL TWO young men were begin
ming business careers, the one who was
honest and moral would certainly make
progress mere rapidly than the other who
was dishonest and untrustworthy The
wicked indeed might flourish as the green
bay tree, but they were eventually eut down.
Tho speaker included a political refer
once in his illustrations Of the principle that
1t paid to be a Christian. He alluded to
William Mckinley, who was a devoted mem-
Der of the Methodist Episcopal church. and
whose whole career had been based on Chris
tian manhood. 1t would be "A grand thing
If the republican party should nominate such
man as a presidential candidate. and
it would be even better II the democrats
should nominate Robert Il. Pattison of Penn
sylvania, and thus have both standard bear
ers consistent Christian men.
At a meeting of the official board, held
prior to the regular service. It was decided
to have General o. O. Howard lecture for
the benefit of the church In Creighton hail.

service the sale of over 700 tickets was guar
anteed by members of the congregation.

The Bethers sisters, Lottie and Amanda
| have been arrested for an assault upon "
M. johnson, law clerk
The trouble took place at Spoon lake Sat
urday evening. and was brought on by the
fact that johnson and lady friend had the
temerity to venture out on the lake, which
had been pre-empted by the Bethars sisters
as skating park Mr.. Johnson and his
friend were enjoying themselves skating,
when the Bethers girls began abusing the
young woman and calling her vile names Mr.
johnson demonstrated with the girls and en-
deavored to induce them to attend to their own
afraire, but without success. The abuse wes
increased In proportion to the strength of
his remonstrance. Mr.. johnson finally de-
cided to keep cut of the way OF his annoyers
and. with his friends. sought another part of
the lake. He was followed by the Bethers
pair, who were bent on forcing their
claims to monopoly of the skating.
The girls had somewhat original ideas CT
how skating park should be conducted and
they insisted upon keeping the unlnvited
guests on, even If they had to fight Tor 1t.
They watched their opportunity, and one of
the girls, Amanda caught Mr.. Jonu4on

saulted him. Mr.. johnson had his hands full

quarters, and while his attention was thus

gency.
Mr.. johnson was knocked down and sus-
tained a severe scalp cut, which ieq .ired

the case to the authorities yesterday, and

BANKER CLEws' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen
From Wall street.


New York. Dec. 27.-The past week. in
Wall street, has been a broken one, with
considerable irregularity in the prices OF
securities. Apart from the disturbing in
huences incident to the holidays and the
annual making-up and liquidation Of ac-
counts. there have been special causes of
disturbance, all more or less calculated 10
uusettle confidence and to check buying
operations.
The introduction of the Cameron Cuban
resolutions in the Senate has naturally
caused some suspense. which made itself
felt at the beginning of the week. Later
however, this influence spent its force and
became scarcely d.stinguIshabie element
In the market. At the moment. a more
serious factor is the outbreak OF bank
failures. After a series OF Suspensions
Of country banks. came on Monday the
failure of the National Bank of Illinois
and on Tuesday the suspension Of the 81.
Paul Bank of Minnesota.
The removal of the Cuban dangers has
produced hopeful feeling as TO the drift
of the Wall street markets after the OPEN
ing Of the new year. In stocks, there Is
a steady stream OF buying, In anticipation
Of January opening with a higher range
of values and with a renewal Of activity
in the commercial markets.
The course Of the foreign exchanges con-
tinues to run in an extraordinary degree
in our favor. The movement, however, "a
not at all reflected In the rates Of ex-
change; for the reason that large portion
Of the current supply OF export bills Is
again going into the hands Of local buyers.
Instead OF being sent forward to Europe
In the usual course. Indeed, London is
now borrowing from New York through
drawing bills against credit, and those
transactions are understood 20 be stlli
quite important In amount. These credits
and the export bills held here make a TO-
tai OF current credit TO Europe now Osti-
mated as amounting 20 100000 TO S35.-
100000. This resource may be expected 10
offset the adverse balance OF foreign trade
which usually appears In the first quarter
Of the year, and thus we are likely 20 es-
cape any important exports Of gold during
the next three months. IL IL needless to
say that this cond tlon of the exchange Is
conducive to the growth Of confidence In
our financial markets, whilst TO the Euro.
pean ccnters 10 is not hopeful.

ELLIOTT DIES FRoM HIS WOUNDS.
He Asks That the Man Who shot

Him BE Not Hung.
valdosta, Ga, Dec. 27.--J. y. Elliott the
merchant who was shot at Sparks Friday
evening, died last night about O'Clock.
The tragedy has been the topic Of conver-
sation through all of this section. where
the dead man was well known and identi-
fed with business interests. Chambers,
who did the shooting, is a man of large
family, having nine children dependent
upon him. He has borne good reputa-
ton in the past and was never regarded
as a fighting or quarrelsome man. He
says, and the dying statement of Elliott
may corrobarate his statement, that he
did not intend to shoot Elliott. but was
aiming at Edwards, who was being arrest
ed.
Edwards came to town early in the
morning to get some medicine for his sick
wife. He got hold of some blind tiger"
whisky and got drunk and quarrelsome.
He was arrested by the marshal and put
in the calaboose but was subsequently re-
leased and allowed to so % his home. In
the evening he returnes 10 town with a
shotgun in his buggy and we'll under the
influence of whisky. He threatened the
officers, and attempted to take charge of

but owing to his drunken condition, the
marshal told him that he did not want

the marshal started after Edwards. Eli

and was trying to wrench it from his hand
when Marshal Sweat laid his gun upon
the ground and rushed to Elliott's aid.
Chambers grabbed the gun which the Of

The wounded man remained conscious
through the night and yesterday and, late
in the evening he called his friends around

outskirts of the village, heavily armed and
defying arrest. AS II is understood that
he was not to blame for the shooting di-
reotly, it is not known whether efforts will
be made to arrest him until the excitement
dies out.
The affair is the most shocking that has
occurred in a long time and is universally
regretted through this section. Mrs. FL

health for several years and 1t is expect
