OBLIGATIONS TO CRIMINALS.


The Rev. Hiram w. Kellogg preached on
"Our Obligation to the Criminal Glasses"
at the Central-avenue Church last night.
DR.. Kellogg has given this subject much
investigation here and in the far West In
part he said:
1.-THE subject admits of three distinct d.
be treated in a single address, and yet
wish to notice them all. The first is the
The second, the proper treatment of the
criminal as prisoner or the methods Of
punishment and the third is the treatment
zone of the most hopeful signs of all is
that the community and church are recog-
nizing an obligation at all and studying
more carefully the problem. This is the first
important step to needed reforms. When
we consider how influential the criminal is
in society, 1T is a wonder that this consid-
Grafton has not been greater among civil
lied nations. 1t has been the common idea
that all obligation ceased toward these
troublesome classes when they were tor
tured or. in more merciful days, incar-
cerated in prison The history of improve
ment Is very short and all important bet
terment may be dated back a very few
years. l think / may venture to say that
anything worth the mentioning is not fifty
years old, and most of ii is less than one
half that age.

The question has passed the purely reli-

Charles Kopp. twenty years old, living at
Market and Noble streets, attempted to
take his life yesterday afternoon at 5
o'clock by swallowing quantity of carbolic
acid Kopp in preparing the potion was

he had been out driving with young wom-
an during the afternoon. When he re-
turned he was slightly under the influence
or liquor. He walked into the house and to
his own room without greeting the other
members of the family as he was In the
habit of doing. Several small children were
sent above stairs to see If Kopp was iii.
He came back in his shirt sleeves a short
time afterward. He took a small tumbler
of water TO his room. About half an hour
later the children ran down stairs and told
their parents that Kopp lying on the
floor. His father and mother went unstairs
and found him unconscious. The City Dis
pensary was notified and DR.. Schenck, aft
er arriving at the Kopp home, succeeded in
restoring the man to consciousness. 1t was
said that his reason for attempting self
destruction was due to a quarrel he had

SENATOR HANNA'S WILD RIDE.
Fast Time of His Special Train Be-
tween LOgansport and South Bend.

One of the most picturesque not to say
thrilling features of Senator Hanna's trip
through Indiana on a special train was
the run between Logansport and South
Bend last Friday night. In order that
Senator Hanna might not disappoint the
people of South Bend and that he might
arrive there nearly on time as possible,
the train sped across the wind-swept
marshes of northern Indiana at a terrific
rate of speed, at times running more than
the most trusted enginemen employed by
the Vandalia, and a man noted for his
ability to drive an engine at rapid rate
Of speed, was at the throttle.
The train consisted of the c., H. & d.
private car. which was occupied by Senator
Hanna and the immediate members of his
party. and two day coaches. On account
of an accident TO an engine that pulled the
cars earlier in the day the train was an
hour late in leaving the town of Redkey.
Ii was after dark when the special pulled
into Logansport, hardly an hour late, but
late enough TO cause the members OF the
party to doubt If South Bend could be
reached on time. Engineman Flaherty left
Logansport with the cheers OF thousands
ringing in his ears and with an order from
the dispstcher's office to make the run in
a certain length of time, and sooner IL
possible. Ii Is sixty-seven miles from
South Bend to Logansport. The darkness
came on rapidly and soon the train was
plunging through the blackness at a rate
of speed that astonished the natives. Sen
ator Hanna stood the ride remarkably
we'll and. in fact. seemed 10 enjoy it. He
sat IN an easy chair in the rear end of the
car, smoked a cigar. dozed part of the
time and now and then EXCHANGED some
jocular remark with those about him The
train sped past Culver, little station
situated on Lake Maxinkuckee like a
rocket A faint cheer could be heard as
the train plunged by the little depot which
was an evidence that some persons were

he did not stop.
The velocity of the train stirred up grea,

cality. IL Is since related. met at the rail

EFFECTS OF THE STRIKE.
Steamers May Have to Tie Up fol
Want of Fuel.

In consequence of the strike of the coal
miners but few, if any, barges of soft coal
from the Cumberland region have come
down the canal to Georgetown in the past
three or four days, and there are grave
fears of a coal famine here. SO serious Is
the shortage in the coal supply that the
steamboat owners here are much alarmed
as the dealers are unable to fill orders.
The owners of the boats say they may be
obliged to tie up to the wharves, as they
cannot run without fuel, and the supply on
hand at the wharves will last but "a few
days.
The managers of the ferry line between
this city and Washington had arranged a
schedule of extra trips of evenings for their
boats. to commence Sunday, but as coal to
make these trips cannot be had the sched-
ule has been abandoned for the present
Some little coal is reaching this city over
the Baltimore and Ohio railway by way of
SheDherd's Landing. opposite Alexandria
Six or seven cars Were Unioaded into
barges there yesterday and brought to the
dealers at Georgetown by the tug Edith G.
WinshiD. The schooner Mt. Hope had
gone to Georgetown to load soft COAL but
was unable to obtain a cargo there and
yesterday afternoon the vessel sailed, in
company with the barkentine Shetland and
the schooner Lizzie r. Burt. for Baltimore,
and will load there if they can get cargoes.

A COURT OF HONOR
OF THE COMMITTEE
ON ILLUMINATION.
Prizes May Be offered for Private
Decorations-An Preparations for

A court Of honor of splendid proportions
and a general decoration of the civ nv

Chairman w. s. Knox presided and had
at his right hand Mr.. Cuno H Rudolph
chairman of the committee on decorations
with which the committee on Examinations
Will cooperate as fully as possible The
attendance was. large and indicated the
greatest interest on the part of Mr. Knox
associates.
After a general statement of the work
or the committee, the chairman explained
that he and Mr.. Rudolph had considered
together general plan for a court Of honor
in front of the White House. The limits
of this plan could not be definitely an
nounced in consequence Of incomplete in
formation as to the total funds to be at
the disposal of the two committees. AS
far as the funds would permit, however,
1T was designed to make this court of honor
the most notable feature of the city's deco
rations during encampment week.
Suggestions were made by several mem
bers that both decorations and illumina-
tionS might be augmented by private enter
prise If merchants were offered suitable
prizes-say, $3.50. $500 and $50 respectively
