At 8:45 yesterday morning Andrew Ander- son, a Norweglan, 45 years of e, and room- inge at the corner of Unlon and Indiana streets, avart from his family, called at the house of John Olsen, No. 27 ffunt street, and asked to be allowed to remafu there. Ho was refused and upon leaving the house kneli nud rn}'td for sume time on tho sidewatk, Then ho eu- tered the privy, and gome time Iater Mr. Olscn went there and found him dead, he having cut lis throat from ear to car with a razor. Do- mestic diflicultics are supposed to have Induved temporary insanity. A boy named Jacob Dosch, employed at the Grand Pacifle clrar storc, met with a singular and palnful oceldent yesterday morning, e was {n the hall leading to the dining-room, and conceived the idea of jumping up and touching the gas-fixture. He had an heavy riug upon the thira finger, which caught upon ono of the stars of the gas chandeller_over the_ cxchange hall, and held him untf) taken down by somc of the hotel employes. ‘The flnger was denuded of flesh and broken near tho second articuintion, and amputation was rendered necessary. Dr. 8. W. Ingraham performed the operation, and the Loy was taken to the home of his parents, No. 240 Maxwell street. Specizl-Agent White, of the Post-Office De- partment, at Orleans, Tonin Cuum.;. Micl., on the 15th inst,, arrested Minnfe . Greenop, wife of the lostmastor at that place, on the chnr‘.vo of o;vcnlng and embezzling letters. Sho wus licld to ball by the United States Commis- sloncr at Tonln for appearance at tho next term of the United 8tates District Court to ho held at Grand Havids. Her operations had been car- ried un for aiany months, and Iarge numbers of Ictters, sume containing drafts and remittances, nddreseed to partics at Orleans, had heen miss- ing, and as soon as complaint was made to the Department Speclal-Agent White investigated the matter, with the result above stated. At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon Jasepl Bon- der, 13 years of age, realding at No. 84 Clayton street, while on his way hoine from a taor's meeting at the Bohenlan ilall, was nesaulted ond cut in the abdomen by an unknown young man,who, licsaye, rushied past him with an open koife fn his hand, This happened at the corner of Fourteenth and alsted strects, The boy was taken to Ius lonie, but his father says fig'la too poor to have a doctor, not haviug a singie dollar in the house. The wound does not scem to be a deep une, and the police appre- hended but little danger. Al cftorts to dis« cover the assassin’s {dentity lhave thus far proved fruitiess.

Mr. 8amuct Harrlron, the co-conspirator with the man Ryan inthe stealing of copyrighted Amerfean plays, was arrested yesterday at South Chicago., The arrest of Ryan last wook frightened Harrison, and he left tho town fu o hurry, It was supposed he had gone to Phil- adelphia, but this proved to be merely a “}p{m- sition, He had only gono to the banks of the beautiful Caluinet, where he was_hiding from the vigllant vse of thedetective. Thedstectlyo called ?-esl.cnluy at the hotel, and found the name of Harrison on the register; went to the room and rapped on the dvor; took a chair and eped in through the transom: éaw Harrison ying on the bed, pretending to be asleep, but fn reality wide nwake; called on the landlord ~and _effccted an cntrance; arrested Harrison, and brought hlm to Chicazos; arraignes tae culprit before Justice Meech, who, after hearing some testimony, held him to bail for appearance at the Criminal Court. Mr. Iar- rison was nt flyst reluctant to disclose nny facts concerning his connection with the piracy buel- ness, but, after mature reflection, ke concluded tu "give up evervthing.” 1lo admitted that under an arrangeinent with Ryau he had taken down and copled *“The Danites ' and ¢ Our Bachelors,” and sald that Ryau egreed to pay 118 expenses to the theatro and give him $10 or 220, provided o purchaser could be found, All these arrancements were inade before Tankin begran his engagement. Mr. Ilarrison, Inshort, made a an breast of it, staling that he and Riyan had been {n partnershlo fn this piracy business. Tho statement made by Rran on the withess-stand, that he had almply lvaned money to Harrlson, was emphatically denfed by the Jatter. The moncy was pald on nccount of work done on the play of “Our Hachelors." Hurperlr! that the parties cu- magred {n this pirating have rocei7ed four acts of “Thb Exiles,” and caples of other ploces— which gocs to show that there I8 quite an ex- tenslve conspiracy exlsting to rob dramatic au- thors of their property, Chicago being ap- parently the centre of It.” Me. Harrison is tired of the business, hu nn‘)l-u, aud when put un the stand will tell all he knows about it. 1o will probably be used as State’s evidence in the caso against Ryan.

Hesing, aa that gentleman was on his way home. With the hope of ellciting some 1nformation on the tem- perance question, which {8 beginning to azitate the German clement, the reporter remarked: “Well, Mr, Hesing, I sce that one Paxton is after you with a sharp stick, DId you read Tne Trinuns this mornfogi" Mr. Hesing remarked that he read T Trin- uns before reading bis own paper, ond ace knowledged that he had scen the report of Mr., Taxton's remarks at the temnerance meoting held Baturday eveniog at Nu, 213 West Madison street. *What have you got to say about it 1" quoried the roporter. ¥ You can #ay for me that I am not weak- knced: my knees arc as etrong as ever, and tho agents of the Soclety are as firm as cver. In rezard to tho position which I took at the Palmer-House meoting, pleago state in your paper that I still hold that, if It was the Inten- tion of the participants in that meoting to keep children out of saloons, they would he sup- ported by citizens ofall classes and natlonnlitics. One thing, however, there ls in which this Temperance Leaguo makes a mistake. Of late thelr sples, {n order to prove to thelr tnasters that they liave heen efliclent, have gone into places where none hut good eitizens congregate, and picked up young men of upwards of 20 years, dolng business for themselves, and who went to those places for a sandwich aud a class of beer with the permission of their parents. They have. also cone Into billlard and” poul rvooms, and ralsed A muss by pleking out from tho players men of youthful appearance, but_who were in reality over 21 or &2 years old. This fanatical movement on the part of the Loague and its sples is creating no little bitterness among the raloon-keepers, and also among the better cluss of citizens gencrally. In consequonce of this fecling, I went to one of the mcembers of the League and cxpostulated with hin about rald- fni on segeral of the moat prominent drinking places in the city, ol asked him to discrim- iuate, 1waa afraid that, by rigldly enforcingthe law to the letter,—proventing n man of 20 years and B months from tekinga oiass of beer,— we would revive the temperance war of 1873, whereby the peoplo would lose sight of ood government and the neccessity for a ecent and efliclent Council, and thus would be tempted to olect mon who were pledged to nothing but the supremncy of the llquor interest. hnd no other Intcrest at stako. Asfar na the allcgation that I ain be- tween two stools is concerned, such Is not the case. I still hold to the samo principles that 1 ever did. I belleve that the youth of this city can be kept out of the influenco of salovns by compuleory education. If they should bo com- pelled to go to achiool till they are of the age of 3 or 14, there will be littlo Tor the spics to do in wandering around among the saloons, The Staata-Zeltuny hos not lost any subscribers owing to the position I have taken on this ques- tion, but, on tho contrary, it has recetved nu- merous lotters front pirtics in the city ond country applauding the sentiments to which I gave uttorauca at tho Palnier House m a4 SBUBURBAN.

RELIGIOUS. A Discourse on Creeds and Dog- mas by the Rev, Dr. Hunter. The Rev. John Willtamson Gives Some Useful Information About Mixed Liquora. CREEDS AND DOGMAS. BERMON DY THE RBY. DR IUNTER, At 8t. Paul's Reformed Episcopal Church yesterday, Dr. Hunter preached, by request, upon the subject of creeds and dogmas. Ile chose his text from QGalatlans, 1., 8: *But though we, or an angel from Heavep, presch any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him ho accursed.” The reverend gentleman remarked that, had Bt. Paul lived In our day, and occupded a Chi- cngo pulpit, and introduced this verso into one of his public discourses, the conscquent sensa- ton would surpass thointerest mantfested inthe recent discussion on the subject of eternal pun- fshinent. That discussion has rovealed the existence fn certoin qnaru:rs of n feollng of restivencss, under the mild restraints of orthedox creeds and dogmas, and has called forth cxclamations of dellght from so-called liberals in reilgion. It s not genorous to aflirm that when a minister fn good standing in some evangclica! denomination nd- vances opinions contrary to the recceived stand- ards of that denomination, he fs slmplyconrts ing popularity. Mo may baslncere fn his search after truth, but he fs not wisc when he take his doubts and perplexitics into the pulpit. Theese aro questions of vast moment to us all,—ques- tions of sin and atonement, repentance and falth, pardan and holiness, obedlence nud dovo- tlon, about which there can be no doubt. Dr. ‘Hunter thought theso should form thn burden of o minister's public ministrations, aud mean- while fet him take his doubts to the Bible and to tho throne of grace, and when he has solved them, if bie finds hisunderatauding of the Seript- ures o varlance with the Church to which he owes allvglance, let bin honestly and fenr- lessly ‘*step down and out,” aud scek n wider platform on which to ventilate his opinions. ‘The utteranco of half-formed opinions was both mischlevous and hurtful, and £o s the preaching of n gospel of doubt and uncertalnty, It is casy to raiso the cry of ““mad do " and sct a whole community In commotion, and nothiug {s moro populsr with a certaln class of poople than the cry of ** Awany with dogmal down with creads 1" ‘The fact Is, that In theso modern dava the short- est road to popularityand o big salary is Lo pro- clalm soso new dogma which strikes at tno deeplv-rooted falthofages.

In it wers the thirty-fivo artlcies of the Reformed Eptscopal Church, overy doc- trine ot Methodlsm, the Gospel as preéachied in Congreeational, Daptist, and Presby- terlan Churches.

JOMIN WILLIAMSON, The Rev. John Willilameon gavo the red-rib- bon movement a boost last evelng in his Jecture ot the Michigan-Avenus Mcthodist Church an “The Liquors We Drink.”” 1is general oropo- sitlon was that all nleoholle liquors were polsonous, pure aleohol itself being ddendly poicon, and that tho abominable adulterations used In tho lquors we drink made tho mixturea infinitely worse. Rum-drinkors, he nald, scldom lived long enough to experienco the torments of the delirfum-tremons, the constant use of aleohol taking atvay the power to resist discase. (Good church- people in former times had been habitual drinkers, and, while they never had ** snakes in their boots,” tho medical men of the times calledl it oxcessive, horrid nervousness, ortrying temptations. While they didn't knock thele Klvca down and othicrwiso maltreat them, after he inanner of nodern drunkards, yet there were family squalis in those days which'the medleal inen recounted for by the gencral atate- ment that **domestic dilferences scemed to be vrovidentfally pormitted fn many homes.” There had heon vast changes {n public opinion since then, so that now habitual drinking nmong tho members of churcheaand In the highor sta- tlon of soclety had become disgracoful. Dr. Willlamson then passed on to a con- sideration of _the adulterations used in liquors, Rum, for Instance, was plensantly seasoned with pepper, capsleun, cloves, spices, acctic and tartaric aclds, un foriis, cochineal, Bpanish julce, ete., od tnfini tom, unttl a compotind was obtained which was worse than Oreck fire, But the grudumlly-d‘ylnz taste of the habitual drinker mist bo excited, stimulated, goaded into an appreciation of the Hquors conimitted to his stomach, nnd raisins, orauge peel, corlander sced, whia oak back, tannie acid, sulphiato of lime, sulphate of cop- per, ote,, were employed to bring about this stimulation. Then thcro were ways to de- stroy tho bad taste of rum, the remedy belng a8 pernlclous a3 the compound itself, Adulterations In wine had bacomne to be the rulo instead of the oxception. It had been safd that no pure wine was drunk even in France except that obtained at the wine presg, and, although pure wine could be had in Florenco at vne cent a bottle, it was neverthe- less adulterated there by thors who found the adulteration profitable, cven when the pure articlo could bo purchased for this low sum. Dr. Willlnmson sarcastivally roferred to what ha termed the aristocratie drink champagne, for which peoplo would pay 82a bottic, whenit wasn well-kuowi fact that, by reason of aduiteratlon, thero was a profit of over 100 per cont per bottle on the stufl when sold at that figure. Butthen, sald e, our young men, as well ns soie of the older, who cught to know better, must have something more arlstocratic to get drunk on than ten-tent whisky and becr. An experiment mado with & bottle of this so-called pure im- ported chamnagne had revealed the tact that it contained 120 grains of lead, and there could be no doubt that the aduiteration was steadily in- creasing, so profitable haa the practico becomo. In faet, this whote liquor business was nothing more nor less than an unrelleved abomination and robbery. ‘The so-called fenulne port-wine contained, a8 a coloring material, logwood, and so universal wns the practice of thus adulterat- ing it that Londoners had n saying that ono must got Oporto, make his own wine, and ride home on the outside of the barrel, to be sure there was fo fabrication about I8, But the most vulgar, cheap, poor, and dirty of all tho Hquors we drink was beer, tht hnbit- unl use of which would. run down in men's na- turea all the phyalcal soundness and the marnl and esthotic qualities they once pussessed. No worthy ideacver haditsinception inabeer-anloon; The forelgn population of this country wore, as he opined, singularly unfortunate in thelr aflection for beer,~—cspeclally the Germans, who would nover grade ns high na they onght in rocial civillzation and moral culture until they garo up their miserable beer. Tho Doctor then tried to show why beer had such a demoralizing cffect ns he had cinlmed for it, hut the only evidence to support his aseertions \was tho testimony In the.Taylor-Delevan caso, that the water used fn {ts manufacture in that par- tlenlnr fuatance waa {mpure. The Doctor ovl~ dently had not Intervlewed some of tho Chicago browers or he would havo discovercd ony amount of rebutting evidence. Mcdienl author- ities, Including Dr. Kirk, Dr. E, Johnson, Dr. Farr, Dr. Julius Jeffrer, and others, were elted to sustain the Doctor's position that aleoholic llquors were polsonous, and that, like aorsenle or prussle acld, they would, it takon in sufll- clent doses, dcstroy life. In short, a man's imouth ought nop to be deilled with cither liquor or tobacen, Enough muscle had been wusted {n ehewing tho latter, it had been sald, to bulld a rallrond around the world, tie o bow- kuot In_at Chicago, snd run an cxtension to the North Pale. iere wos only ona way to canquer the temptation to uaa them, and that was to keop, tho mouth shut, bar them out thirough the teeth of sovercign graco, and then aman would be safe, MISCELLANEOUS.

Towu- scnd afterwards failed, and Stewart bought the roperty ot Sherifl's sale. Ho pulled dowu the house and pluuned the vrescut palace. This was done before the War, when prices were low, aud the ludation so lucreased tho cost of labor and waterial that the contract became & heavy loss. Stewars beld the contractor to the lettér, and the unfortunate inoa suifered to almost a ruluous degree. It is scldom ghat a building conswucted unaer such clreumstances wvalls much to lts owner.
