HELD AT GRAND OPERA HOUSE

Addresses by Workers of the Church Army
tended by Large and Interested Audi
ence.
The mass meeting held at the Grand
opera house yesterday afternoon under
the auspices of the Y. M. G. A. was
addressed by General Hadley and Ma
jor Murray of the Church army. There
was good attendance. The whistling
solos with autoharp accompaniment
We're highly appreciated. Major Muir
ray spoke on From Prison to the Pull
pit"-an account of his own life and
conversion. Major Murray ran away
from his home in Ohio while a boy, fell
into vice. became a thief and pickpock-
ct, was arrested and only escaped a
long time in the Ohio penitentiary by
the entreaties of his friends. AS it
was, he was sentenced to two years in
that institution, where he was convert
ed. He was discharged after being in
prison little over year and has been
engaged in Christian work ever since.
General Hadley spoke only few
minutes He aroused enthusiasm by
saying that if he wished to raise reg
iment of men to defend our beautiful
flag he would go among the men who
belonged to the Y. M. c. A. In thirty
days. he said, IT could raise one hun
bred thousand men in the Y. M. c. A.
of the country"
This statement he followed with a
sermonette on BE Sure Thy Sin VIII
Find You Out" He said that no nat
ter how dull ones conscience may be-
come by consistent sin, the time will
come when they will all be brought to
your remembrance, if not before, when
you are dying. He then related his ex-
perience at Johnson's Fort during the
war. He commanded the fort, which
was hotly beset by the Confederates.
He thought that his time had come,
but soldier-like he would not show the
white feather. He wished that he was
away and gave his orders while his
teeth chartered 'All my past sins
came up before me- said the general
1.-The lump of sugar 1 stole from my
mothers bowl when little boy, the
dried peaches 1 stole from the old wo-
man, and all my greater sins | recalled
clearly. Reinforcements under General
Schofield arrived just in time and the
day was won by the Union army
General Hadley was promoted to lieu
tenant colonel for his conduct in this
battle.

Police Track Marauder by Trail of
Rolled Oats from Stolen Package.
A man who gave his name as Henry
Luding and said that he lived at ZIG
State street, was arrested early yester-
day morning on Button street by Ser
geant Bergin and Policeman Colwell of
the Howard avenue police station on
the charge of injury to private proper
ty and drunkenness, but it is probable
that he will later be charged with a
more serious offense. Luding tried
Saturday night to enter the house of
Mrs. Della Flower, widow living at
81 Button street He went to the front
door at that number and kicked and
knocked. Mrs. Flower finally drove
him away from the door and he then
went around to the side of the house
and began kicking in the cellar window
Mrs Flower then began to scream and
the neighbors were aroused and came
to her assistance. They were engaged
in a scrimmage with Luding when the
officers arrived and arrested him. Later
yesterday morning Policeman Koran
of the Howard avenue station discover
ed that a window had been broken in
at the grocery store of Frederick
Feichert on Washington street. Mr..
Feichert was notified and found that
some packages of rolled oats had been
taken On the sidewalk outside was
found trail where one of the pack
ages of oats had evidently broken open
and spilled on the ground. This trail
was followed to Button street, and the
police now think that the disturber at
the Flower house and the burglar is
the same man.

Alleged That He Was Drunk and Made Improper Proposals
TO A GIRL WHILE ON DUTY
His Case Was Heard By the Street Committee and He Was Suspended Pending a Further Investigation May
 Cost Him His Job.

One week ago Guard Rose of the city con- victs was suspended, and thereby hangs an ugly charge, which, if substantiated, will cost him his job with the city.
 Yesterday afternoon the street committee, with Aldermen Graham, Lynagh, Moore and Mayor Evans present, held a meeting of investigation. They heard testimony, but suspended judgment for two weeks, during which time MT. Rose will be suspended.
 It Is charged that Rose made an inn proper proposal to a young girl while on duty and that he was drunk at the time. This information was borne to Mayor Ev- ans, who at once suspended the guard, pending an investigation.
 The first witness to be introduced last night was Guard Boatright. A gang of hands was at work In Jonesvllle in charge of Boatright, Rose and another guard at the time the alleged improper conduct oc- cured.
 Boatright testified that about three weeks ago while working In Jonesville he saw little girl talking to Rose. She came down the street and told him that she was afraid of Rose; that he tried to take advantage of her. When he asked her what Rose said she burst into tears and would not say. Boatright testified that Rose was drinking.
 Two negro prisoners and another guard were examined, but they saw nothing of the affair."
 An effort was made to show that some ill-wilT existed between Boatright and Rose. Mayor Evans stated that the first inti- nation of the episode came to him through policeman, and that when first approached Boatrlght refused to say anything about 1t.

A TINY EMBLEM

 Flower. Gardens FOR UNION SOLDIERS GRAVE Memorial Day Exercises at Oak Hill Cemetery -Dr. A. N. Ballard, of Geo. A. Gus
 ter Post Made the Address
 All Sang America"
FOR UNION SOLDIERS GRAVE

As the sun came from its hiding place yesterday morning 1t found over the grave of each union soldier in Oak Hill cemetery tiny American flag. When the curtain of gold slowly receded behind the western hills at evening the breezes that kissed the emblems of freedom were ladened with the perfume of the choicest of flowers.
 Memorial Day brought from the depths of many heart the struggles of the six ties and with it tear and "God be with you for the gallant soldier boys of the first" who are on the verge of entering the disease infected island of Cuba to give freedom to the oppressed.
 At o'clock the George A. Custer post, Grand Army of the Republic; George H. Thomas camp sons of Grand Army sol- diers, and members of the Ladies' Aid soci- ety gathered at the headquarters in Nine teenth street. and took up the march to Oak Hill cemetery.
 There were more than two hundred in the assembly, which formed a circle while the ceremonies were held in the Grand Army lot in the shadow of the stately monu- ments erected to the memory of soldiers who shed their blood to keep the union in- tact The Grand Army ritual was impress sively carried out.
 The music was furnished by the Jackson Bostick quartette, and the address was made by Dr. A. N. Ballard, commander of George A. Custer post.
 It was well worded, replete with oratori- cal effect and abounded In good feeling When Dr. Ballard had concluded every eye was moist. Very impressiyely he referred to the present war.
 q have a boy at the front" said the speaker, with voice quiverlng with emotion God grant we may not in future be called upon to shower the beauties of nature upon the graves of our sons.'
 The ladies, who had culled the richest prizes from their flower gardens, united in arranging them upon the graves All then joined in singing "AmeTca," and the benediction was said.
 There are probably half hundred graves of union soldiers, and the marked and the unmarked received its token of fond re- membrance.
 The members of George A. Custer post desire to publicly thank Sexton J. c. Lam bert for services so kindly rendered.
