ering. seemingly. every phase of the ques-
ten. except one. Viz, Sunday Study" I
met Christian parent at church last
Sunday evening and inquired about his
family. He replied that one of his daugh-

ment which says, Remember the Sab
bath Day, TO keep II holyr'
Is 1t any wonder that parents. with ex-
ceedinS agony OF mind, see their children
grew up totally indifferent to everything
good, despising the keeping OF the Sab
bath holy" and running after everything
tfat is evil, when they themselves have
forgotten TO obey this comma ndment. and
have placed the secular culture of thei-
children above their spiritual? Certainly
Train the child up in the way he shosIlG

c. L. wEEMs AT BRIDGEPORT.

The long talked of Weems meeting at
Bridgeport took place last evening, as
first arranged.
The meeting was held in the open air
near the corner of Pike and Bank streets.
A crowd of about three hundred people
had gathered about the speakers stand
and at eight o'clock Hon. c. L. Weems, the
speaker of the evening, took his place
amid faint glimmer of red fire and
"moosic" by the Meister band.
VIM. Alexander was made the chairman
of the meeting and he. after miniature
speech ridiculing the Democratic and Pop
piist parties. introduced Mr.. Weems. Mr..
Weems then took the stand and after
few preliminary remarks opened out on
the issue Of the day. First he began stab
bling at Senator Stewart, the millionaire
and silver mine owner. attempting to show
Mr. Stewart up as foxy old fraud. The
workingman. in his opinion. was the van
guard of a mighty fight for human liberty,
and should they hold out together the
tides will roll on until the free trade and
silver will be buried so deep that the arch
angel will be unable to locate them. Free
silver in his opinion, means a silver ba-
a silver dollar will not be equal to gold
dollar.
He Jumped on the local Democratic
speakers going through the county telling
the farmer the prices of his crops would
me doubled with the free coinage Of silver.
He then went on with his little old worn
out wool story to illustrate the falsity OF
such statements" as he called them.
The conditions surrounding the laboring
people Of foreign countries that coined
money on a silver basis were referred TO-
quoting here and there portions OF press
interviews with ministers Of these coun-
tries on the currency of their country
The silver question was taken up then
and the faIlacies that he thought he could
see I'm it were explained to the fast dimin-
ishlng crowd with a number of comic
Jokes. the latter to hold the crowd as long
as possible.
The good the Republican party did the
country when it was In power was told
about. while he prophesied good times
ahead if the people would only vote the
Republican ticket.

4 CIRCUS MAN
Almost Instantly Killed at Martins
Ferry.

Almost Instantly Killed at Martins
Ferry.
, Yesterday morning Frank Murray,
AN employe Of the Syndicate shows that
gave a performance at Martins Ferry,
methis death in a very peculiar manner.
He was standing near heavy rope las
tened to a pulley, that was being used in
raising the tent. The strain on the rope
caused it 10 break unexpectedly. The
reaction of the rope caused by the
Strain threw the block with ter
rlble force, and Murray, who was stand
ing near, received It's full force under
the chin, and the lower part of the right
Jaw. He fell back unconscious, and be-
fore a physician could be summoned
died of his injuries An examination OF
the wound made by Dr. b. 0. Williams
disclosed the facts that the right jaw
bone was crushed, his neck dislocated
and the base Of the skull fractured. A
deep cash about four inches long, eX-
lending from the point of mis- chin back
under the right side Of his face, was
made by the rope.
! The unfortunate man had been with
the company but three days, having
joinca them al Alliance, Ohio, and con-
sequently very little was known by
Chem concerning him. At the coroner's
inquest a letter was found on his cloth
ing dated August IS, written by J. w.
Brown, 4OS Summer street, East Boston,
Mass. A telegram was sent TO that ad-
address, but no answer mad been re-
'ceived last evening.
If no word is received this morning
the remains will be Inferred by Under
taker w. L. Noble, who has them in
charge.

a HORSE TRADE
Which Was Not Attended BY the Best
Results.


Results.
There are horse-traders in this vicin-
tty Who prosper, and there are others
who impoverish themselves on every
deal The latter expression can be
truihfully applied to a son Of the land
of Ilaly, residing in the Fourth ward.
People in the East End were greatly
amused yesterday morning, when they
saw an Italian banana and fruit l>sd-
der attempting 10 hitch what appar-
emily seemed to be new morse. The
story of the horse goes something like
this: A man came down Seventeenth
street on Wednesday afternoon, leading
a very fine looking horse and upon ap-
preaching the Italian vender asked him
how he liked the horse, TO which the
"Dago' replied that he would like TO
have Il. The stranger declared his will
ingness 10 trade. upon the receipt OF s.
additional. which the "DagO" agreed 10
pay. The deal was made and the horse
was taken 10 the stable Of the vender

feeding Il. the horse almos. kicked the
stable apart The 'Dago." thinking the

from the wagon, as /, was backed into
the shafts. getting wilder at every move
ment of its owner.
After much persuasion ne Italian con-
scented to allow a crowd Of Young men

which will cause the vender a loss of
eight or ten DAYS. not considering 'ha
amount Of feed tho horse will consume,
or how much damage he may do in thar
line. The stranger hiss horse. which
soro may term as 2 nag. bur the "Dago'
would class him as a first class animal
could he again secure Il.
