TWO DRINKS WE'RE LYING sun
DAY MORNING.
Engineer Of Switch Engine Saw
Them and Prevented Their Joint
Demise.

Had the engineer OF the Illinois
Central switch engine failed to OBJ
serve two apparently lifeless forms
lying at the end OF the trestle at
First and jefferson streets at II
O'Clock yesterday morning. Arthur
Dunn might have been fatally injured
and Joe McClosky badly scaldedr by
the train. which was moving south
On route to First street. The engine
was stopped and a big crowd gather
ed. Patrolmen Slngery and Stewart
drove back the crowd and found the
two men too intoxicated to bulge.
The patrol wagon was sent for and
they were carried to the city lookup
and fined 81 and costs In police court
this morning.
Witnesses said that both were seen
with several quarts of good stun"
They chose the end of the trestle as
secluded spot of rest and comfort.
Dunn. II Is said. was lying 30 near

Two Republicans Will Have to Go
Into Court to Secure the Offices to
Which They Seem to be Entitled

given 65 votes and Waltmon re.
ceived 20 votes, which amounts &c
two more ballots than were cast. The
addition of ten votes overcomes the
majority of Waltmon.
After the error was discovered this
morning Mr.. l.. l.. Brown, a precinct
election officer, examined bis copy,
and he says Bennett received only
80 votes The giving to Bennett of
the ten extra votes means the control
of the fiscal court by the Democrats
as the count would stand four Re
publicans and four Democrats, and
County Judge-elect Alben w. Bark
icy would have the deciding vote. The
election OF Bennett will be contested
by the Republicans. and the ballots
will be oountedpn the courts. It is
considered odd that similar errors
should occur in two close contests.
Six Voters DISTINGUISHED.
This morning the election officers
refused to count the six ballots from
Diegel's precinct that were marked
exposed. The Jaw Is plain that IL a
voter Intentionally exposes his ballot
II shall not be counted. and the RE
publicans, whose ballots were thrown
out, contended that the ballots were
exposed by accident. However, by a
vote of two to one the ballots were
not counted.
With the exception of the count of
the Farley and Schmidt precincts, the
election commissioners finished the
count at noon. Efforts were made
this morning To get the election Off
GERS to the court house and open the
boxes, ami the work was delayed. As
soon as the boxes are opened the
adding of the vote will begin. II is
probable that the commissioners will
finish their work late tonight or early
tomorrow morning.
Inspected in the light of the re-
turns from Massac precinct looks like
as II "55 had been changed to "65"
on them.

CONTRASYBD
CAREER WITH A MISSION IN HIS
SERMON.
Rev. ". w. Burwell az First Presby-
terian-Nien viii Meet
Tonight.

'Is yours a career or a mission?"
inquired the Rev. II. w. Burwell in
his sermon at the First Presbyterian
church last night. His text was TAX
en- from the ninth chapter of st. John
the expression Of Christ that he must
be about his work. DR.. Burwell said
he liked to think of Christ as one
sent, and he quoted many expressions
of the Master to show that the Mas
ter regarded himself as sent with a
mission into the world Then the
minister quoted Christ as saying, "As
my father sent me, so | send you into
the world"
Ministers are not the only persons
called of God; the minister is not
the only one who must consider how
God would have him perform his
stated task. These propositions were
laid down by DR.. Burwell. His SER
mon contrasted career. a selfish ac-
QUESTION and retention of everything
desired, and no giving, with a mis-
sion. a giving of life and all TO the
betterment of mankind and the glo-
rifying OF God.
In the morning Or. Burwelh preach
ed from The text "For God so loved
the world that he gave his only be
gotten son, that whosoever believed
on him would not perish but have
everlasting life"
DR.. Burwell leaves for New Orleans
today, where he is pastor OF the Ma
poleon Avenue Presbyterian church.
There will be an important meet
ing OF the men OF the First church
lat 1880 o'clock tonight.
