The Boston Herald Is authority for the statement that there is now due to that city the large amount of s1,20o.Oo0 for poll taxes accumulated during the last three years. We should think some way might be devised to bring these deilnquents to the mark, or at least a large proportion of them. That Is almost million dollars a year, which is a large amount for one city to lose.

3. A steward is bound to give
an account for the influence he ex-
erts upon mankind around him.
Suppose you should employ stew
ard, should educate him until he
possessed great talents, should put
a large capital into his hands,
should exalt him high in society.
and place him in circumstances to
exert an immense influence. in the
commercial community, and then
he should refuse or neglect to exert
this influence in promoting your in
terest; would you not consider this
default a perpetual fraud practised
upon yon?
Whatever influence God has given
you, if you are an impenitent sin
aner, Yon are not only neglecting to
use it for God, to build up his king
dom, but you are employing it in
opposition to his interest and glory;
and for this do you not deserve the
damnation of hell?

YOUR TALENTS.

q. Stewards are bound to give
an account OF their talents. Sup
pose you should educate man to
be your steward, should support
him during the time that he was
engaged in study, and be at all the
expense of his education, and that
then he should either neglect to en-
ploy his mind in your service, or
should use the powers of his culti-
waited intellect for the promotion of
his own interests, would you not
consider this as fraud and villainy?
Now, God created your minds,
and has been at the expense of your
education, and has trained you up
for his service; and do you either
let your mind remain in idleness,
or pervert the powers Of your culti-
waited intellect to the promotion Of
your own private interest, and then
ask what you have done to deserve
the wrath Of God?

Bible until he wanted to-
&sult one ia his law studies.
6ming to place where there was
church, he became the leader OF
the choir, but opposed the views Of
the minister so that he was consid-
cred a dangerous skeptic.
Study Of his Bible led to his con-
version. With conviction that he
must preach he gave up the practice
Of law, fond as he was of it. His
talk with his associates had strik-
ing effects, aud led to many conver-
I sions. After year of study with
his pastor his work in different
places was followed for dozen
years BY remarkable revivals. His
direct and pungent utterances some
times led to bitter opposition and
even to threats of violence. The
tremendous logical force OF his
preaching appealed strongly to law
yers, who several times asked him
to give a course OF lectures espe-
cially for them. The famous Broad
way Tabernacle in New York was
built for him. While pastor there,
he was urged to become professor
of theology at the new college at
Oberlin o. For some years his
time was divided between the two
places, and he later became presi-
dent Of the college. The anti-slay-i
cry principlesfof Oberlin reused en-
nifty, and business failures Of sup
porters Of the college caused such
straits that Finney was at one time
forced to sell his trunk.
While he acted as professor until
his death in 1875, his evangelistic
work was continued much of the
time both in his own country and
in England, while his Lectures on
Reviyals' not only in English, but
in translations, have led to reVivals
IN many parts of the world.
The following sermon is not one
of his evangelistic discources, but
& gives a fine example ot his forcible
style, and the power OF his clear
reasoning on most practical and
important theme.
The SERMON.
All men are Gods stewards. The
Bible declares that the silver and
the gold are his, and that he Is, n
the highest possible sense, the pro-
prietor Of the universe. Men are
mere stewards, employed By him
for the transaction Of his business,
and required to 40 ali they do for |
his glory.
That men are Gods stewards is
evident from the fact that God
treats them as such, and removes
them al his pleasure, and disposes
Of the property in their hands,
which he could not do, did he not
consider them merely his agents
and not the owners of the property.
YOUR TIME.
i If men are Gods stewards,
they are bound to account to him
for their time. God has created
them, and keeps them alive, and
their time is should you en-
ploy a steward ana pay him for his

YOUR SOUL,

S. You must give an ACCOUNT Of
your soul. You have no right to
60 to hell. God has a right to your
soul; your going to hell would in
jure the whole universe. 1t would
injure hell, because it would in
crease its torments. 1t would injure
heaven, because it would wrong it
out of your services. Who shall
take the harp in your place in sing
ing praises to God? Who shall
contribute your share to the happi.
ness of heaven?
Suppose you had steward to
whom you had given life, and ed
ucated-him at great expense, and
then he should wilfully throw that
life away. Has he right thus to
dispose of a life of so much value
to you?
God has made your soul, sustain
ed and educated you, till you are
now able to render him important
services and to gforify him forever,
and have you right to go to hell
and throw away your SOUL and thus
rob. God Of your service? Have you
a right to render hell more misera-
Bile, and heaven less happy, and
thus injure God and lathe uni
verse?
Do you still say, What if | do
lose my soul, it IS nobodlg's busi-
ness but my own? That II false
it is everybody's business. Just as
well might man bring Al conta-
gious disease into city, and spread
dismay and death all around, and
say it is nobody's business but his

slider him as an object Of charity.

Suppose that a company of mer-
chants in city shonld employ a
number of agents to transact their
business in India, with an immense
capital; and suppose these agents
should claim the funds as their
property, and whenever draft was
made upon them should consider it
begging and asking charity at their
hands, and should call the servant
by whom the order was sent a beg
gar; and farther, suppose they
should get together and form a
charitable society" to pay these
drafts, Of which they should be-
come life members by paying
each a few dollars of their compa-
ny's money into common fund,
and then hold themselves exonerat-
ed from all farther calls, so that
when an agent was sent with drafts
they might direct the treasurer of
their society to let him have little
as matter of alnsgivlng. Would
not this be vastly ridiculous?
What then do you think of your
self when you talk of supporting
these charitable institutions, as If
God, the owner of the universe, was
to be considered as soliciting char
ity and his servants as the agents
OF an infinite beggar? How won
Ederful tits that God does not take
such Presumptuous men and put
them in hell in moment, and then
with the money in their hands ex-
ecute His plans tor converting the
world!
YOUR WILL.
Again. You see the great wick
edness of mems boarding up prop
erty so long as they live, and at
death leaving a part of it to the
church. What a will! To leave
God half Of his own property! Sup
pose clerk should do so, and make

of faefeAn property? Yet this is

up with their great charitable do

YOUR CHARACTER.
Again. We have here true test
of Christian character. True Chris
tians consider themselves as Gods /
stewards; they act for him, live forl1
HIM, transact businesss for him, eat
and drink for his glory, live and die
to please him. But sinners and

MANY KILLED AND HURT
AN AMERICAN AND TEN FOREIGNERS
CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Twenty-Five Injured, Some of Whom
May Dfe-SIaughter of LabOrers
Who Were ON a Work Train.

BUFFALO, Kan, April "a north
bound Missouri Pacific stock train crashed
into the rear end of work train just north
Of this town at 7 o'clock last evening, and
eleven men were killed and twenty-five in
jured. Ten of the latter are seriously and
four probably fatally hurt. They were
Greeks and Italians, excepting one, Peter
Frick an American, who has lived here
several years and was boss on the work
train. The cause of the wreck is given as
misreading of orders. The dead are: Van
Anzie Arculla, Giussepe Arcillua. Michin
Casara, Italians; Peter Frey. assistant fore
man. American; Bill Gorovales. Gus Palal-
axes, st. Varos Panagulopulos, Gus Kara
feleas. Fanteles Davis. Tom Feles, Peter
Pamasis, Greeks. The foreigners were
nearly all married and had large families
in the old country.
The work train consisted of fiat cars and
a caboose, all filled with laborers. The
men on the fiat cars escaped by jumping,
but hardly a man in the caboose escaped.
The work train was backing into town for
the night, and running at good speed Tho
heavy freight engine did not leave the track
but plowed the work train off the track,
leaving little of it except the carwheels and
kindling wood. Doctors of Buffalo, as
sisted by townspeople, did heroic work
among the injured until the wrecking train
with surgeons of Neodosha, and corps of
half dozen physicians from Coffeyville
and Independence arrived The dead and
injured were taken to Coffeyville, the latter
there. The scene Of the wreck for several
hours looked like a battlefield by the daz-
zling light of the burning debris, with dead
they had been left after being taken from
the wreck.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, April 27.-Unless the
unexpected happens, as has been the case
several times during the Moses Fowler
Chase proceedings, there will be no fur
ther development in the case until Thurs
day. when Judge Anderson hears the ar
guments for and against a habeas corpus
writ On the following day. Friday, May
l. the delayed guardianship question will
come up before Judge De Hart In the
Tippecanoe County Circuit Court.
This morning in the Circuit Court the
attorneys for Fred s. Chase and for Mr..
and Mrs Charles Duhme met before Judge
De Hart and reported the action of the
federal court at Indianapolis. Fred S.
Chase, father of Moses Fowler Chase, was
also present, an interested auditor. 1t was
agreed by the attorneys of both sides that
neither should make a move until after the
habeas corpus proceedings had been settled
by Judge Anderson.
The courtroom was crowded when the
lawyers assembled. Addison G. Harris,
Stuart. Hammond & Simms and Hanley &
Wood were with Mr.. Chase, and Kumler
& Gaylord and Haywood & Burnett for
the Duhmes. Only one dispute arose at the
conference. That was over the question
of entering in the court books the order
showing that summonses had been served
on Moses Fowler Chase. The Duhme law
yers objected to this, but the Chase at
torneys insisted that ii be done. The Chase
counsel were accused of breaking their
agreement made before Judge Anderson not
to make any motion until the Federal
Court had reached a decision. Judge De
Hart, however, entered the order on the
books.
There was no excitement at the meeting
Of lawyers. A. l.. Kumler went to Gin
cinnati to-day for conference with the
other Duhme representatives.

the jurisdiction of the postmaster general
10 the United States attorney for the Dis
trict Of Columbia preliminary to possible
prosecution. Whether criminal proceedings
will follow cannot be determined until the
grand jury has completed its inquiry. Con-
siderable doubt Is expressed in official cir
cles whether the government has sufficient
evidence on which TO secure an indictment
against the Tyners. This will necessitate
reopening Of the investigation in the case
by ths District authorities. and may defer
for come time a final decision to whether
criminal prosecution shall be instituted
against General and Mrs. Tyner.
The postmaster general states plainly in
his letter to the attorney general that he is
unable to show that papers other than
those returned by the counsel for the Ty-
ners were distracted from the department.
This Is the weak side OF the governments
case. and whether General Tyner can be
held liable for prompting the removal of
papers from his Office which. as the as
sistant attorney general for the department,
were placed in his custody must be deter
mined Dy the grand jury.
