MR.. AND MRS. NORVELL.
Their Successful Revival at Calvar
Baptist Church.

The special meeting begun at CAL
vary Baptist Church last Sunday under
the leadership of Rev. j. S. Norvell and
wife struck a high key with the first
meeting. and the work has moved on
with increasing power from day to
day.
The meeting last night was one of
deep interest, and gave promise of
large results in the near future. Mrs.
Norvell addressed the congregation
from the sixteenth chapter of Second
Kings, on the character and work of
HeZekiah. and showed there was need
of image breakers to-day and of men
who will walk in the sight of the Lord.
The Bible readings in the afternoon
of each day are among the richest
feasts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Norven are proving
themselves master workmen They de-
pend not upon sensational methods.
but upon God. The week to come will
doubtless witness great things at Cal
vary Church.
There will be no meeting to-day, but
Sunday there Will be three services.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Jan. 1.-Two
policemen were pounced half to death by
a crowd of tough hs aud two OF their assail-
ants were shot on New Years night. The
trou bic was the result of a crusade which
the police have been making against

Offioer viergiver was strnck over the

was pounding him over the head with

City Fathers From East
Side to Support Him.
Want to Make Him Superin-
tendentO of Public Buildings.
Matter Will BE Settled by the City
Council Caucus Tonight.

Mr.. William II. GoD, candidate for the
position of superintendent OF public
buildings may begin With the east cid.
delegation to the council ia figuring on
the number OF votes he will get. AT least
eight out OF the ten representatives. from
tho First and second wards will 60 to the
caucus tonight, not pledged, but neverthe-
less determined to support Mr.. Cot.
On Wednesday there was an informal
meeting Of the mem Ders from the east
side wards, sll being present with the
exception OF Councilman Howard OF the
Firrt and the alderman from the Second.
No vote was taken but the sentiment of
the meeting was altogether for Goff.
The fact that s52. 900 was used in the re-
pair OF public buildings without any pre-
Iiminary estimates being made has been
given up entirely as an argument by the
oppo ST ion to superintendent Durfee te-
cars, Of the general admission that IL
won't hold good. There Is no question
but whrt every cent of that amount was
wisely expended In making needed re-
pairs on school houses and that the re-
suits themselves show how well the
money Was used. Superintendent Durfee,
IS result of his tnoroughness in reno
waiting the school houses and placing
them beyond the need OF repsir for sew
eral years To come, has won the support
of the school committee members aud
the influences Of some of them will be ex-
,rted in his tehslf with the council.
The principal argument tnst will be
msde against superintendent Durfee's
reelection tonight Is that he 10 not In
bsrmony with his COMMITTEES on city
p,opsrty, and that this committee will
practically be the same next year, the
only retiring member being the repre-
sentative from the Board. Alderman
Fniisr,
frhe friends of Mr.. A bra ham A. Gray
of the Second Ward are anxious for him
to have a place on this committee aud
clsim that he is better fitted for the work
than eny other member. Mr.. Cooke OF
the tirst Ward, and now on that commit
tie, nas tignifisd his willingness to be
taken of to make place for Mr.. Gray.
10th of these men are for candidate Gof.
The contest seems to havs narrowed
COW, now to Superintendent Durfee and
Mr. Goff and the ,ex-supsriutendent. Mr..
Manseld, is not looked upon rs winner.

the statement Of the assets and Liabilities
will be examined and the assignee will be

pointment OF the assignee has been ap-
proved by the registrar. the assignee will
make formal demand upon. him for the
assets in his posse,sion. He, as marshal,
will refuse to comply with the demand
and this will give the assignee an oppor-

Thought to Have Drowned
Himself at Evanston.
Documents In His Handwriting
Were Found on 4 Pier.
Efforts Now Being Made to Recover
Body-Second to End His Life.

CHICAGO, Jan. Wv. A. Hammond.
vice president of the National Bank of
Illinois is missing. Some of his effects
were found this morning on the lake
front at the Dsmpster street pier near
his home in Evanston. Tne recent SEN
sational failure of the bank of which Mr..
Hammond was vice president 10 supposed
to have led TO his disappearance. Mr..
Hammond r6tired- -nsnal last night
This morning members OF his family GO
ing to his room found it empty. Search
was begun for him and IL finally led mis-
friends to the Dempster street pier. There
they found q number of private papers In
Hammond's handwriting. This con-
sr,aced the searchers that he had probably
committed suicide by jumping into ts7.
lake. The lifesaving crew at Evanston
was Immediately notified and began
search for the body. A tug was also
wired for to come from Chicago for the
same purpose. The disappearance of
Hammond recalls the suicide of Otto

the direct result of the failure OF the Ma
tional Bank OF Illinois, which pulled
down the firm of Wesmandorn q Heinls-
mann.
AS a prominent resident of Evanston,
Mr.. Hammonds' name appeared on all
the town club rolls, and he was especially
we'll known at .the Evanston Club. He

Church. In addition to his office In the
Illinois National bank, Mr.. Hammond
was q director in the Oakland National
bank, the Phoenix Insurance Company
of Brooklyn, the Cable line, the Chicago
Opera House Company and Chicago Rail-
way Company.
The first open charges against the busi-
ness integrity OF Mr.. Hammond were
made about 10 days ago. He was accused
OF enacting the character of a "Kiter."
He was accused of deceiving the direc-
tors of the bank and the depositors and
OF deliberately violating the National
bank laws. his alleged Irregularities
were said to have begun many years ago
when the vice president, 1t Is alleged,
began to use the money and credit of the
bank in outside speculations. This was
| done in such a manner that not only
were the directors deceived, but the bsnk

the bank. thoroughly familiar with the

sonally intereet himself In many cor

Lawyer Littleficld Tried
to Make a Point.
Justice Wilbur, However,
Declined to Allow II.
The "Once In Jeopardy" Matter
Brought Up Once More In Court.

Judge George A. Wilbur today met the
old time legal question as to when man
is In jeopardy In legal sense. The qucs-
tion was brought to the attention OF His
Honor by Attorney George A. Littlehsid,
who was defending Timothy Ivers, sc-
caused of robbing John +. Martin OF q
watch on a public highway.
After ell the testimony in the case was
in MIR. Littleiield said there was matter
he would like to call to the attention OF
the court in regard to the discharge OF
the jury at the previous trial OF the case
and started to..read from the 18th volume
of tue American and English Epcycio-
pedia OF law, but the judge stopped nim
and asked for the book. His Honor read
IL carefully and tnen asked Mr. Littlefield
what his point was. The latter said that
the discharge of tie jury was the main
point and prooeeued to criticize the reply
made by His Honor to the ques tions OF
the members Of the jury In the former
trial after the jury had come back for In
structions.
Judge Wilbur said TO Mr.. Littlefeld
"you were present and heard the instruc-
tions, but took no exceptions then," and
His Honor then said the question was one
of former jeopardy or not. There bad
bsen no other trial of this case for the
jury had been properly discharged after
reporting they were unable to agree and
had considered tie testimony for over
four hours.
The court directed Mr.. Lttleneld to &C
on with his argument to the jury, but the
counsel for the prisoner had an exception
noted to the ruling of the court.
