USE OF PROFANITY.
Rev. II. J.. yilIers Says 1t Is a Peril to
He Avoided.

A large audience heard the sermon Of
Rev. T.. j. Villers at the First Baptist
Church last night. The pastors topic was
''The Peril of Profanity" Incidental to
the sermon an excellent programme Of
music was rendered. DR.. Villers spoke of
the habit of indulging in profanity being
easily formed and hard to get rid Of when
once acquired. AS al Instance Of how the
habit viii stick he related the case of a
nan who had been profane, but who had
become converted and was a Christian.
This man in entering his house one day
slipped and fell. AS he did so an awful
oath came out of his mouth. when
that Christian man heard his own word"
said DIR. Villers, lit was like q sword had
pierced his heart DR.. Villers attributed
one OF the causes for using profane Ian
guage to a lack of reverence. When
people lose reverence said he. ''they have
opened the flood gates for all kinds of
evil DR.. Villers believes that another
source of the habit of profanity is a dis
belief in God. when a man swears he
is bold enough 10 strike at God In His very
face" the pastor asserted. He referred to
such expressions as MY Graciousi"
GOSH and "Golly." as words TO be
avoided because they come dangerously
near being p~rofane. TIL pastor character
lied swearing as a useless and foolish
habit and one that cannot possibly bring
any profit to the user of profane words.

ing the Day and Evening.

The fire alarms were more numerous

At 4:20 a. IN. the house Of II. Bamberger,
at 613 North Alabama street, was dam
aged TO the extent of S1C0 by a fire which
started from a defective CRATE.
An explosion of a gasoline stove caused a
scare at 10 East Ohio street at 2 p. m. No
loss or personal injuries resulted and the
department was not needed.

at 4 O'Clock caused another run for the
department.
An overheated stove at $40 North Liberty
street caused a loss of about $25 to Harry
Cleverman at 1850 %. m.
TIL department was called to 427 North
West street on an alarm turned in from

roof of a house where a fresh fire had
been started in the stove and caused the
Waterman to think there was a fire other
than that in the stove.

fire and the last run Of the department
before midnight.

A DECREASE in TONNAGE
THE CAR SHORTAGE CUTS DOWN
THE LOADED CAR MOVEMENT.
Eastern Paper Says Fast Freight
Lines Are to BE or Wiped
Out-GencraI Railway News.

The train records show that in the week
ended Dec. s there were received and for
warded at Indianapolis a total of 25.0J7
cars. a,57 being loaded. against 2l.O02 in
the week ending Dec. ]. and against 21,342
in the corresponding week of 1899. The
decrease was chiefly with the Pennsylvania
and the Vandalia lines. those two handling
LAO fewer loaded cars than in the CORE
spending week Of 1899, while the Big Four
lines proper last week handled $50 more
loaded cars than in the corresponding
week last year. This increase with the
Big Four was mostly on the ST. Louis and
the Bee-line divisions. The Indiana, De-
catur & Western continues to handle more
loaded cars than in the corresponding
period in previous years. the Pennsylvania
allowing Its cars to go on the l., d. & w.
to be loaded for Baltimore elevators.
which is an entirely new feature. The
east-bound grain movement is still light;
were Ii as heavy as usual the loaded-car
movement would be far in excess of any
former years. so heavy is traffic in other
classes OF freight. West-bound tonnage
Is heavy beyond precedent for December,
and largely in merchandise, heavy grocer
les n iron and steel products. Trans
continental line business east-bound is on
the increase, and the fruits. canned goods,
etc. OF the Pacific coast are beginning to
arrive In Eastern markets Local bust
ness Is heavier than usual in December,
and local manufacturers are shipping more
goods than at the corresponding period in
many years past. The packing houses
seldom are heavier shippers. in fact, load
ing all the cars that can be furnished, and
yet the s~tockyards receipts and shipments
are in excess OF the corresponding period
last year. But the increase in business is
most noticeable In coal. both hard and
soft, which In a large measure is due to
the partial giving out of natural gas,
many of the manufacturers using coal
under their boilers and other places where
heavy fires are required. The car short
age is still a troublesome problem. The
table below shows the number of loaded
cars handled at this point for the week
ending Dec. s, and for the corresponding
weeks of 1900 and 1905.
