A STRANGE PREMONITION.

A case of a premontion, which Coro-
ner Blackwell regards as the strangest
that has ever come to his notice, is
that OF w. A. Schwarze, of Spring
field, ILL.,, who, without summons,
went to indianapolis to look for a
brother, John A. Schwarze, who he
feared had encountered some danger or
injury. He found the mangled body
of his brother yesterday morning in
the city morgue. He was killed We'd
neSday night on the Big Four Railroad,
a mile and half east OF Brightwood.
w. A. Schwarze told the coroner
that he came to indianapolis from a
fishing camp near Springfield, where
he was enjoying his vacation, obeying
a strange feeling that told him some
danger threatened his brother He ar
rived Wednesday and went to the
morgue to look at the unidentified body
of a man who fell dead in an east
Washington street basement. The body
was not that of the brother, but Mr.
Schwarze says he felt no relief and be-
gan search. He remained over night in
the city, and yesterday morning found
the mangled remains OF his brother in
the morgue. He had been killed by a
switch engine.

FIRE IN BOSTON.

A threatening fire that apparently
had been subdued broke out afresh
early yesterday in the wool district of
Boston and caused loss estimated at
more than $400, 600. The fire which
was in five-story brick warehouse on
Congress street occupied by Crimmins
& Peirce, wool merchants, is believed
TO have been caused by spontaneous
combustion. Two fremen were slightly
injured by falling glass and several
others had narrow escapes when wall
fell, following a back draft exposion.
The new salt water high-pressure
system recently installed was used for
the first time in the city and gave
satisfaction.
The loss is estimated at from $3.50,
600 to 1875 900. Damage to the build
ing is placed at upward of $4,000.
Crimmins & Pierce carry an insurance
of 5000, 600.

THE CHOLERAIN ITALY.

The cause Of the epidemic Of cholera
which is now prevailing in some OF
the towns and villages of the provinces
of Bari Dele Puglie, Italy, has not
been officially determined. There
have been 39 deaths from the pest
BY some its origin is attributed to a
tribe Of gypsies who have been wander
ing through the district; by others to
party OF Russians from Odessa, who
went to Bari to visit the relics of their
patron saint, St. Nicholas, and after
ward tramped about the province sight
seeing. They employed for washing
their clothes the buckets used in draw
ing drinking water from the wells and
in this way may have contaminated
the water supply in many districts.
Prani, a seaport on the Adriatic Sea,
% miles from Bari, seems to be the
principal center.
The residents Of the infected dis
tries were commencing to flee into the
adjoining provinces and were reSortins
to religious professions and prayers tC
check the cholera, rejecting the ser
vices OF the doctors and hiding the
existence Of the disease, rather thar
allow the sick to be placed in the quar-
antine hospitals.
King Victor Emmanuel and Queer
Helena are displaying great anxiety
over the outbreak Of cholera in The
south and the king has given order
that he be kept constantly inform
ed on conditions in the infected re
gions.
The king has already intimated hi
intention Of initiating his father, wh'
in 1885, fearless Of danger, proceeded

A BAPTIST MINISTER'S CHARGES.

Considerable discussion has been
created in church circles in Baltimore
by an article published in the London
Christian Herald recently by Rev. j..
H. Shakespeare, the eminent London
Baptist divine. Some startling criti-
cisms OF American church life are made
by Rev. Mr.. Shakespeare, who was a
prominent figure in the Southern Bap-
tist Convention held in Baltimore last
May. and he has but little to commend
in the churches in that city. The in
tellectual standard Of American min
listers, he says, is very unsatisfactory,
and he is astounded at the lack or or
ganization in the churches Of the
United States
The English divine was quite taken
by surprise at the extreme simplicity
and democracy OF our American5 Bap-
tist ministers. Instead of grave and
reverend gentlemen, dressed in conven-
Itional, clerical attire, to which he was
accustomed in England and which he
fully expected to find here, he found to
his acknowledged amazement, minis
ters dressing stylishly, and, what
seemed most surprising, he found them
wearing ties Of all colors instead OF the
conventional black.
In speaking of the intellectual stand
ard OF American ministers, Rev. Mr..
Shakespeare bewails the fact that men
OF ability leave the ministry for more
lucrative fields, while the ones who re-
main are hardly worthy of their posi-
ton. The best brains of America, he
believes, are seldom found in the min
isterial profession, and while he admits
that this is true, to certain extent, all
over the civilized world, the United
States, it seems to him, is the most
striking example Of that unfortunate
situation.
The decay Of the standard OF Ameri-
can ministers is illustrated by the fact,
to which Rev. Shakespeare directs the
attention Of his readers, that there are
today in America no such ministers as
Henry Ward Beecher and Phillips
Brooks
