LECTURE
By D. M. M. Swadener at 9Th
Street M. E. Church..

Rev. Dr. Madison NJ Swadener de-
livered his lecture on "Qualities that
VIM in the Fifth Street NJ. E.
church last evening, to a most ap-
preciative audience. The speaker
held the undivided attention OF every
listener in the house. The lecture was
beneficial as well as entertaining, full
of wit and replete with humorous an
esdotes; amusing, but to the point,
and, as he proceeded with his subject,
which he mastered so well, grew as
eloquent as a Patrick Henry. His
language was very choice, and his
gestures easy and natural; he has a
faculty of presenting his subject so
logically, so forcibly, so earnestly that
his audience wished for more when
he had finished speaking. Had the
people of Richmond known what a
great treat was in store for them, the
church would not have held them
Those who did hear him were de-
lighted.

GRAND DISPLAY OF SPEED
HUMAN AND OTHERWISE
THIS MORNING.
AND HOWARD CAMPBELL
Was the Principal in the Case After
the Automobile Had Spent
Itself.

Howard Campbell lives on Ft.
Wayne avenue. Mr.. Campbell is the
owner Of an automobile and takes
great pride in telling his friends and
neighbors of the merits of his won
derful machine-never was such a
machine, and the neighbors hope there
never will be again. We will not say
right here what make the machine
was, but If any one comes privately
we will tell them, provided there IS
enough of the auto left to find the
name plate.
The auto is kept at Gaar's shop
and the driver usually takes Mr..
Campbell to and from the shop. This
morning he drove the machine into
Mr. Campbell's yard as usual. Every
thing was calm, peaceable and serene
when the machine was left standing
in che yard. Suddenly and without
warning something gave way and
the bustupabus phelontasimus of the
Jump the -fence-abus bursted and the
machine started off slowly at first,
but gradually gaining in speed, until
it reached the fence, when with the
speed Of a college athlete it climbed
the fence (Supt. Gormon is authority
for this) and when last seen it was
far oneits way toward automobileville.
The neighborhood was terror strick-
Ell as they all felt shocked and sup
posed it was an earthquake.
