Work Snsnended Until Spring,

All work OH the sewer has been sus-
pended until next spring. The laying
of pipe yesterday morning reached a
point near the p & Z. trestling op
posite Boyer coal yard, which WAS
the limit SET for this years work. At
this point the bend occurs, at which
the sewer. following the creek, changes
from an easterly to northerly course.
The pipe here has left the bed of the
stream and is sunk in the bank lit
tie TO the north,
The spot was carefully leveled over
and the workmen retracing the course
of the creek carefully filed mp every
spot where the ground had sunk IN
the trench, after which the water that
for a month or more past had been
diverted into the canal was turned
back into its original channel.
1t will require but few weeks next
spring TO carry the sewer up as far as
the Polish Lithuanian Brewery, where
its source is to lie. After the spring
floods when the water becomes low
enough the iron pipe will be laid in
the river extending the pipe from the
present mouth to a point several hun
dred feet out in the stream. By the
Fourth of July if not before the sewer
will be in working order.

PROPHETIC
UTTERANCES

Through the courtesy of Mrs. r. W.
Eggert we have been permitted TO
peIuse Thanksgiving sermon deliver
ed in the Mahoning Presbyterian
chdrch, this city, by Rev. John W
Yeomans, d. D., in the year 1850
The discourse, which has for its
theme Signs of our Country's Flu
ture, " is scholarly, bears the evidence
of deep study and thought and in many
of its utterances becomes grandly pro-
phetic.
In dwelling upon the country's fu
ture DR.. Yeomans remarks: "Ameri-
can citizens are maturing the plan of
a railroad from the great lakes to the
Pacific ocean. And such is to be the
scale of our future improvements
The flying car must shoot across the
hemisphere TO connect with the steam
er from Europe on one shore and back
again to connect with the steamer
from Asia on the other, while the net.

the whole must cause both shores and
all between like a living body of three
thousand miles diameter, to feel from
the touch of finger a stimuli ttaneous
sensation. Such life for a single ma.
tion must be on larger scale and it
is surely coming to pass.
Speaking of inhabitants he says:
Some twenty-five million inhabit-
ants, made up in so short time and
in such way give hints of future
population the amount of which we
hardly dare state. This doubling every
five and twenty years will bring one
hundred million of people within our
bounds within the lifetime of many
who now hear me. This one fact must
give the United States of America re-
nown in history as one of the wonders
of the world. Nothing approaching
this work of God as the sublime be-
ginning of a nation has ever been seen
before. The eastern continent with
its crowded millions faces both ways
toward this land of promise Europe
looking wishfully across the Atlantic
toward the eastern border Asia across
the Pacific toward the western. -
Speaking OF slavery he said: There
is nothing more clearly discernible in
the general posture of affairs relating
to American slavery than that many
wise and beneficent designs of God are
to be fulfilled by its course and end. "

lynched by an .nfuriated mob,
composed of blacks, at Tsylors-

ed two inoffensive colored men
and fatally injured another. He
approached the home of Wesley
Chambers, a negro cotton picker,
and called him out. After .whis.
pering to him and as Cham bers
turned to leave, Craddock split
his head with an axe. Then Grad
dock mutilated the body of the
dying man frlghtfully.
Then observing Dan Washing
ton, another negro, he crept up
on him and struck him in the head
with the edge of the axe. Not
satisfied with this, he went to the
door of the cabin and called Cham
bers' brother, Mercer, to the
door. Mercer unsuspectingl y
came and was at once beaten dowr
and frlghtfully injured. Wesley
Cham bers died almost instantly
Mercer died this evening anc
Washington cannot live.
After committing the triple
murder Craddock walked to Tay.
lorstown and mingled with the
negroes there, boasting of his
crime. He appeared perfectly
unconcerned and said be killed
the men ''just for fun"
Craddock was captured by q
small posse Of white men, but a
crowd OF about 800, mostly me-
groes, took possession of him and
at once hanged him to tree and
burned his body beneath it.
