MOODY AND N0AH's ARK.
The Evangelist Says Newspapers
Would Have Pictured it and
RidicuIed It

New York, Dec 3-The Moody meet
ing at Carnegie hall yesterday after
noon resulted in the big han being hll-
ed toaits capacity
Mr.. Moody took as his text the sew
enth chapter of Genesis, first verse:
And the Lord said unto Noah. Come
thou and all tiny house into the ark.
zone hundred and twenty years be-
fore" said Mr.. Moody, .the Lord has
called an old togy by the people. and
that many times he went OUT to preach,
but they wouldn't listen to him. The
wickedness OF that time must have
been appalling. because men lived
longer. What would happen in this
world now if men lived a thousand
years to carry out their hellish plans ?
They had violence in that day because
they had whisky in those days and sa-
looms. Wherever there is whisky there
is violence. NOahs carpenters work
ing on his ark, used to so into the sa-
looms and be sco1ed at, and they used
80 say that Noah was good pay.
But Noah must have been wrong,
because he was in the minority. If
they had had q theater in those days,
they would have had a scene with
Noah's ark in it. If they had had news
papers they would have had pictures
OF the ark in them about every three
months, and the press dispatches would
have described the old fool Noah work
ing on his ark. I can imagine the mill
lonaires ana scoffers and others when
the animals were going in, asking
what it all meant, and the wise men
saying it was all right if it did rain,
because Noah was in the minority; but
ten days after the flood had started
Noah was in the majority, and his
family were with him"
The evangelist made an eloquent
plea for the proper rearing OF children
During his recitals of stories Of the
proper and improper rearing of the
young sobs We're heard from all parts
of the house.

One of the measures makes it unlaW-

He is of the opinion that cigarettes and
football are twin evils, and he proposes
to put the Georgia legislature on rec

SO MOSLEY WAS INNOCENT
And He Is TO be Pardoned After a
Dozen Years Impr isonment.

Governor Morrill, has pardoned q. ID.
BIosley Of Emporia from the penitentiarv.
Mosley was convicted of murder in the
first degree for poisoning of Lorraine NJ
ke1ger, an Old lady who was making her
home with MOsley and his mother at
Enporia, April ,, 1888. and sentenced to
be hanged. In Kansas this sentence
meant life imprisonment The aDDlica-
ton for pardon was based on the belief
that MOsley had nothing to do with the
murder but that the crime was planned
and executed by his mother. Mrs Mar
tin, Mosleyis mother, who was also sem
fenced to the penitantiary and who died
there, confessed before her death that
her son had no connection whatever with
the murder

a PeriIous Adventure.

Geo. G. Walker passed through Cello
rapids yesterday in steamer forty feet
long, and tied up his boat at the mess
house above the dalles rapids. He is in
the city today and saw Capt. Waud,
whose opinion he is soliciting as to
whether he can pass over the dalles in
the boat with any degree of safety. The
captain will go In the morning and
make an inspection. Mr.. Walker says
it looks at present as though the swell
at the dalles is about thirty feet high.
The owner of the craft has come in it all
the way from Lewiston, making the DIS
tance in thirty hours. The first eighty
miles was made in five hours. 1t is a
stern wheel steamer furnished with two
engines and 175-lb boiler. He wants
to take the boat to Portland and cell it.
The most perllous part of his trip was in
Snake river canyon, where he says while
passing through some rapids the boat
stood up nearly on end, as it dashed
down a steep place into whirlpool at
an elbow of the river. Opinion is di-
vided as to what will become of the boat
at the dalles. Some believe 1t will be
whirled underneath and never appear
on the surface again.

WAR IN The AIR.
The DalIes Militia Company Prepared
to Leave at an Hours NoIice.

There is an air of suppressed excite
ment in militia circles at the present
time, and the boys are on the qui vive
of anticipation over the Astoria troubles.
Little can be learned from either officers
or men, owing to the secrecy which
is ,enjOined upon them from head
quarters, butthis much is known, that
they have received orders to@hold them
selves in readiness at an hours notice.
AS another evidence that the atmos-
phere is strongly impregnated with the
martial spirit, it may be observed
that the orders expected to have
been issued early in the week for
the encampment at Hood River on the
2Sd, have not been issued. 1t is also
warded guns and ammunition to other
companies of this battalion, The Dalles
being the supply point. Levi Chrisman.
captain of Co. G, yesterday received
supply of webbed cartridge belts, and it
is probable that he has orders to supply
the same to all the companies. AL
together it would not be surprising if
the assemble call should be sounded on
our streets at any time. The situation
at Astoria is now very tense. Many
murders have already been committed,
and the time has come when some effort
must be made on the part of the state
to prevent loss of life and property. If
a.call to arms is made, it is possible
special train would start from Baker
City, picking up the militia companies
on the way.
