The Topics are always those
which are uppermost in the public

which Americans require and desire to

The Contributors to the RE-

The Time when these subjects
are treated of by these contributors
in the REVIEW is the very time when
the subjects are in the public mind.
The Review is the only period

fui Negro Told in Court.
Walter Brown, l7-years.o negro,
was Friday morning held in 81. 600 bail
for the upper court by Judge Ball for
assault on Isaac Anderson, with intent
to commit murder.
The story as brought out 10 the testi
mony in municipal court, showed tine
readiness OF q certain class of negroes
to resort to deadly weapons on the least
provocation, and also clearly showed
the difficulty under which the police
must contend TO obtain convicting evil
dence against negro prisoner. Brown
was charged with having fired three
shots at Anderson, and yet despite the
fact that the street was crowded ut the
time, out of nearly dozen witnesses
examined. only one gave positive evil
dence that Brown fired the shots. The
police believe that several of the wit
nesses saw the shooting and yet in no
way could statement to that effect be
obtained from them.

opended fire on him with revolver.
Three shots were fired and Officer

OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR INTEREST.

President Clark has left Europe for
India. he writes that he has secured

Another convention gayel that be will

a Hindoo society in India.
General Secretary Baer OF the United
Society of Christian Endeayor, recently
made a trip to the Pacific coast In tine
interest of thu San Francisco conven-
tion to he held next July. The meet
ings will be in two auditoriums, one
seating 10, 600 persons, the other 5000.

BIBLE.TRAINING.
The proposal comes from England
that in connection with every Chris
tiaD Endeavor society there be estab-
lished workers. Bible training class.
The object of these classes would be
the study of the Bible, not for the end
mainly sought 10 the Sunday school,
that is, an acquaintance with the con-
tents OF the book, but for the purpose
of training Gospel workers who would
use tine Bible rs the sword of the spirit.
Such classes would study the Bible
doctrinally, learning where to find
Scripture utterances on all important
truths, how to use the Bible for the
instruction of doubters, the comfort of
mournsrs, the winning of the irreso-
lutte, and the encouragement of the
faint hearted. The best practical
worker in soul.saving would probably
make the best teacher for such a class.

can societies? (The Golden Rule.

And Re-enscted by Council-Wsccacoe Fire

During the past week there has been
considerable talk about the ordinance
passed by Council, on the 7th inst,
providing for the issuance of bonds to
the amount OF Sl76, 200 to be used In
payment of bonds falling due Oh Feb
ruary lst, for which no provision had
previously been made. AS result Mr..
McNulty, chairman of Councils finance
committee, Thursday moved to recon
slider the vote by which the enacting
clause was passed. He stated that
Mayor Jetferis had not yet signed the
bill, and after several conferences with
other members OF Council he had
reached the conclusion that IL would
be better to insert the words Sinking
Fund Commissioner" in the first
section, thus giving the bonds more
security than il made redeemable by
Council. After his explanation the
amendents were agreed to and then the
second section was amended so that
interest should be paid in April and
October of each year instead of Feb
ruary and August of each year. The
fourth section was stricken out entirely
and the ordinance was then re-enacted
and referred to the mayor for his sigma
ture.
A communication from the Weccacoe
Fire Co. was read, calling attention OF
the members of Council to the necessity
of chemical engine in the western
part of the city. The good work done
by the Washington company with the
chemical engine was referred to and
Council was requested to aid the COM
pany in securing the passage BY the
Legislature of bill to allow the Wee.
cacoe company to purchase and main
tam such an apparatus. The COM
munication was referred to the law and
fire committees.
Chief Engineer Wilson of the city
surveying department presented his
yearly report of the building lines
marked and transfers made during the
year. In concluding he made a recon-
mendation to Council TO cooperate
with the Street and Sewer Department
in their endeavors to have the grade
crossings of the b. 81. o. railroad at
Pennsylvania avenue and Union street
either abolished altogether or provided
with an additional Waterman. One
hundred copies of the report were
ordered printed.
The report of Chief Engineer Welde
of the fire department for December
was read.
Chairman O'NeilI of the law com
mittee called the attention of the mem
bers to the necessity of prompt action
on matters to he brought before the
Legislature, and suggested an early
meeting to prepare any bills that are to
be presented at this session.
City Treasurer Adams reported the
balance in bank to be Sl29 1876. "A. of

DREADFUL WORK OF FLAMES
Destruction of a Wing of an
Orphans Home.
ALL OF ITS CONTENTS CONSUMED
Five Inmates Dead and Many
Injured.


Dallas, Tex. Jan. 16. AT a late
hour last night the boys wing Of tho
Duckner's Orphan Home, five miles
from this city, Was destroyed by fire.
Five boys persisted in the flames and
several others were burned. The dead
are Carlos Jones, Birdie Britton, Mil
ton Britton, Martin Britton and an I'M
known child.
Before Mrs. Rritton, the matron,
retired for the night she told some boya
to clean stove and sent larger boy
to seq il the work had been properly
done, and he reported that everything
was all right. She had been in bed
but short time when she smelIed
smoke and Immediately began to investi-
gate. The floor under her feet was al
most too hot TO stand upon. She
promptly sent runners to all the rooms
to alarm the children and get them
out of the building as Quickly as possi-
BILE. In her anxiety to get the children
out she neglected to assist those who
were in here own room. After seeing
that large percentage of the children
had been removed and that others
would be gotten out in few minutes
she remembered her own children, and,
running to her room, endeavored to
rescue them. She was too late, how
ever, the fire having entered the room,
and, although she fought the hamvs
with desperate zeal, she was compelled
to retreat, with the affrighted cries of
her children ringing in her ears. In
the confusion which reigned while the
children were being hurriedly assisted
from the building many were over
looked and several OF the little fellows
were seriously burned.
The building and all its furniture
were destroyed.
