Disasters Caused by Electric Cars in hiladelphia. One person killed, another badly injured and damage done to wagons is the record that the deadly trolley car may lay claim to for yesterday in Philadelphia. The acci- dents, coming as they did, one upon an- other, will cause an investigation to see whether they were the result of careless- | hess or were unavoidable. | The fatal accident occurred on 16th street near Fitzwater. James Thompson, nine | years old, of 761 South 16th street, was run | Over and killed by a trolley car. The boy was running behind a wagon, evidently trying to get a ride. He did not notice the car spinning on behind him. By fore the motorman saw him and could bring the car to a standstill the boy was knocked down and fell beneath the wheels. He was | dragged some distance before the car could \be stopped, and when he was picked up he |was dead. His body was taken to Truck E jhouse, near 16th and Fitzwater streets, and later was taken to his home. Another accident occurred at 13th and | Spring Garden streets. Car No. 1061 ran into a delivery wagon of John Wanamaker, partially smashed it and injured the driver, [Christopher Wilson, aged twenty-three | years, of 1809 Chadwick street. Wilson said he was driving up Lith street with the car some distance behind him. He heard the gong just below Spring Garden street and started to turn off the track. The front wheels had hardly been off before the car struck the rear, throwing him out of the wagon. He held fast to the reins, how- {ever, and was dragged some distance be- fore he could stop the team. His hip was badly contused, and he was taken to the ; Hahnemann Hospital. Samuel Haynes, who ee also in the wagon, escaped without in- jury. While a wagon of Edson Brothers was standing at the Terminal market it struck by car 1110 of the 12th street trolley line and badly wreceked. The wagon wi | backed against the pavement in such a way |that it was impossible for the car to get {past without touching. The car, howeve: did not siow d wrenched the forepart of the running gear from the body. The horse started wildly down 12th street, drop- jping pieces of the wreckage in its flight. It | was stopped at Sth and Walnut streets, The rT was badly damaged, the windows being j smashed to p: 3 | Cable car No. 80, on the 71 |lines, and horse car No. 171 u ue line collided at streets erday morning. The latter tried to cross in front of the cable car. The grip- man was unable to check his car and crash- ed into the rear of the horse car, badly twisting it, Both cars were thrown off the | track, but nobody was hurt. es ~—— THE L. A. W.

The report showed that there has been a |very substantial increase in the member- ship and during the year thirty-six mem- bers had been expelled. The report was adopted. Col.

The nomina- tions were as follow: Department commander—N, H. Bickford of Post No. 8 Senior vice department commander—Abra- ham Hart of Post No. 2, and M. T. Ander- son of Post No. 3.

During the course of the discussion over the nominations the chair incidentally re- |marked that ali but one of the twenty post commanders had signed a petition to | President Cleveland asking that considera- | tion be shown to veterans of the war in the | making of official changes incident to the | Political change in the administration. This remark brought Mr. H. H. Moler to his feet with the statement that he was the one who had refused to sign the paper in ques- tion, and he added that he was prepared to justity his action whenever calied upon to do sc. He was not called on to explain himselt, however, and the matter was al- lowed to drop. Commander Faunce’s Report. Department Commander Faunce submit- ted his annual report to the encampment, in which he reviewed at length the opera- tions of the past year, In regard to the condition of the department he said: “Com- mencing the year with a membership in good standing of 3,954 and 152 remaining | Suspended, or a total of 4,106, it closes with a membership in good standing of 3,730 and | 287 remaining suspended, or a total of 3,987: In other words, there has been a net logs |of 204, or about 52-10 per cent. Post 2 | Lhas had the greatest loss in membersMip | Gs), but Post No. 9 has had the greattst jloss per cent (21). Post No. 4 has made |the greatest gain in membership (89), but Post No. 20 has had the greatest gain per cent (43). Effect of the National Encampment. “During the year 1892 our department had an abnormal growth, when it made a gain of 467 in membership, or 101-2 per cent, caused by vigorous recruiting, owing prin- cipally to the meeting of the national en- campment in this city. There is no doubt that our department, indeed the organiza- tion itself, reached the high tide of its numerical prosperity in 1S02, Since then there nas been a falling off in member- | ship. Of the forty-f departments twenty twe met with lo: as shown by the June | |30 returas. So as our department is |eoncerned the causes are quite apparent. | First, the resources for recruiting are \diminishing; second, posts have very prop- ly ch ared their roils of members who, ar, and, fourth, the discouraement aris- ing from the discharge of many of our | comrades from the government service, to- | gether with the unwise rulings relative to pensions. The feeling is quite prevalent among the comrades that the old soldier this year. It has been and is quite appar- ent that the trials and sacrifices of the boys in blue are not alarmingly recommendatory either for appointment or retention, As to Federal Appointments. sands are hale and hearty yet, and can do *s work with as much energy and devotion as younger men, and as jong as they can the policy of all administrations should be to keep them in if they are in and appoint them to vacancies as they oc- jeur. if the law for appointment to and re- tention in office of ex-Union soldiers now in force in New York was adopted by the general government there would be nu more discharging of them on each recurring ad- ministration. My polifical sentimenis are well known to all of ‘you, but I belt matters not what political party may on top the old soldier, whatever he his po- litical affiliations, should be preferred for these positions.”” Reception of Gen. J. G. B. Adam: ‘The event of the evening, however, was the reception of Gen. J. G. B. Adams, com- mander-in-chiet of the Grand Army of the Republic, now on a brief visit to this city.. He visited the encampment about S o'clock and got an enthusiastic welcome s oid comrades at arms. The Srearentee Capt. Edgar, headed by the Mt. Pleasant Drum Corps, escorted him from his hotel to Grand Army Hall, and escorted him to the stage amid the cheer- ing of the old soldiers, |Compliment In a few’ felicitous remarks, |He said he did not propose to make a speech to them, and desired only to assure them of his appreciation of their zealous efforts in the cause in which they w. enlisted. He could see that they were all orators, and he felt sure that they com- pared favorably in intelligence and ability with the men at the other end of the avenue. He was confident at any rate, he said, that they did their work as well. He thought that if some of the members sat in the Capitol they would legislate more promptly for the old Soldier and more to the satisfac- | tion of the people. These remarks were re- | ceived with much applause. | The Lesson in Patriotism, | de awelt also upon the lesson in patriot- Jism that it was ‘Incumbent upon the | Grand Army to teach, of which the chief | was loyalty to the flag. The veterans would soon fall out and the sons would ltake their places. They should teach the | doctrine that no flag but the flag of the {Union could be allowed to float from any staff within our borders, A lesson must | ight to the emigrants, and he wished be taught record aa saying it, that there should be no Irish party, no Seandin vian party, no German party and no British No green, no black and white, ‘olor should be permitted at all to [take the place of the national emblem. ‘On all occasions ana everywhere there should be no banner but the red, white and blue. The Banquet at The Wormicy. The meeting was followed by a most successful banquet at the Wormiey Hotel in honor of Gen. Adams and his sta. The tables were arranged in the form of a square,with the national colors as a leading feature in the decoration. Over each en- trance were suspended banners of the G.

F, Meech; on his left were Past Commander Vearey, Representative William Coggswell of Mass- achusetts, Capt. G. A. Armstrong and S. A. Barton, senior aid-de-camp to Commander Adams.

Dan Sickles was also invited and came in during the banquet. He was greeted with a great deal of enthusiasm and escorted to a seat at the table. Some Eloquent Speeches After discussing an elegant menu, the board was cleared and Commander Faunce announced the first toast, “The President of the United States.” It was respondel to in a characteristic speech by Gen. Sickles. “Our country.” Then Commanier Adams spoke of “The Grand Army of the Republic and its commander-in-chie! “Our dead,” the next toast, was drunk in silence. The remaining responses were Navy of 1861-'65," by Past Commanler I:ur- dette; “The women, our allies and help- meets,” by Gen. John O'Neill of Ohie, and volunteer responses by Col. C. P.

The Emperor is Warmly Welcomed to Friedrichsruhe, Emperor William arrived at Friedriche- ruhe yesterday afternoon on a@ special train, In spite of the emperor's request that there should be no demonstration, the \Tailroad station and the village were gaily bedecked with flags, bunting and flowers, and the road to the castle was a long ave- rue of triumphai arches, flanked on either side with Venetan masts. The latter were draped with evergreens and bunting of znd bore the arms of the various states of the German empire. At the spot where the emperor was to alight at the railroad station an immense imperial crown was hung, and at the win- dows of the cottages of the village and (Derg Sooeamn busts of Prince Bismarck and }ef\Emperor William were displayed. Prince Bismarck, upon leaving the castle for \the railroad station, in order to meet | Emperor William, was greeted with loud | “hochs” by the crowds of people assembled. |The imperial train arrived at 5:25. The jemperor, who wore a naval uniform, cov- ered by a dark cloak, stepped briskly out of the carriage when the train drew up at the platform, and approached Prince Bis- |marck, who wore the culrassicr uniform, with helmet, and the gray military cloak recently presented to him by the emperor. Warm and repeated handshakes were e {changed between emperor and the ex- chancellor, after which the former care- fully wrapped the gray coat around the prince's shoulders, Bismarck having doffed | the gray garment just previous to greeting | the emperor. The emperor and Prince Bis- : liked to the castle of Fried- wed by the emperor's suite persons. They were enthusias- \ pon arriving at the castle, | William greeted {with the prince: Emperor Princess Bismarck, and upon his arm the em- r proceeded to the salon.

THE BIBLE STORY OF THE BLIND BEGGAR The Immense Throng Moved by the Preaching of the Truth. THE POWER OF SONG Tlie scenes at the Moody meeting at Con- vention Hall last evening were but an |inspiriting and encouraging repetition of |those that have gone beforé. The music | Was, as usual, one of the most inter- jesting parts of the program. The vast choir, from the practice that comes from | continuous work together, has a force and |@ swing that are even more marked than _they were at the earlier meetings. The |interest in these meetings does not lessen \in the least. "In fact, it seems to be just |the other way. Many have come again and again to Usten to the earnest addresses of Mr. Moody, and the singing of his co- |werker, Mr. Sankey. Many who came the \first time from mere curiosity now come | because they see rpiritual rest and comfort jin the words they hear and the great |truths that are spoken, Night after night | one can see the same faces, and this means | that those who would be sure of good seats | Must come at an early hour, and many do | come and stand outside for a long time be- | fore the doors are thrown open. || Mr. Moody is a simpi> speaker. That is | to say, he clothes his thoughts in words that are intelligible even to little children. | He never talks over the heads of his audi- ence, but, on the contrary, endeavors to talk right down into the hearts of his hear- ers. He has a wealth of simile at his dis- | posal, and is never at a loss for a story or |a timely incident to better illustrate some point that he is endeavoring to make par- ticularly clear. All Who Will Accept. Last evening Mr. Moody based his talk jon the fact that salvation was for all who would accept it and that Christ was will- |ing to save all, even unto the uttermost. | He took for the subject of his discourse the story of the two men of Jericho, as told in the gospel of St. Luke, the poor, blind beggar who called upon Jesus as He was \passing by to restore bis sight, and whose sight was restored to him; and that other |man of Jericho, the rich chief among the publicans, Zacchaeus, who sought to \see Jesus and could not because he was | little of stature, and so climbed into a syca- more tree. These two men represented the extremes of social gradations, and yet |each found the Christ in his own way. Yet, | Christ, said Mr. Mcody, is seeking for us fer more than we are seeking for Him, and the first step in salvation is a willingness to be saved. Every seat in Convention Hall was filied lcng before the time set for beginning the service, and, as usual, it was necessary to hold an overflow meeting in a neighboring \chureh, at which Mr. Sankey presided. ‘The jtme of waiting was made pleasant and |profitable by the singing of a number of | hymns by the choir, and the regular service | Was begun promptly at 7:30. On the plat- ‘form to the rear of Mr. Moody were seated |a score or more of the leading ministers of the city, representing a number of different | denominations. Vice President Stevenson eccupied a seat upon the platform, and was an interested participant in the exercises of the evening, remaining until the close. “We will open the services this evening by singing hymn No. 49," said Evangelist Moody, stepping to the front of his little platform. “Hymn No. 49. Let all rise and |Join in singing this familiar hymn.” And |the immense congregation rose, and, under jthe baton of Mr. Percy S. Foster, began jthe singing. of the hymn, “There Shall B Showers of Blessing.” And such a burst of melody welled up from that great throng as was almost enough to make the building vibrate! Singing Into Their Hearts. Then Rev. Dr. Rankin was called upon |to lead in prayer, and every head of the | thousands there was bowed while the min- | ister asked in earnest tones for a shower of blessing to come upon the gathering that | would cause good fruit to grow. Then the choir sang another hymn! | “I am now going to ask Mr. Sankey to sing hymn No. 414, ‘Are Your Windows Open Toward gerusalem?’ said Moody. And the man who has jed for so many years with Moody Mr. the cause of Christ and the evangelization of the world seated himself jat the little organ. In a clear and ringing voice he sent the words of admonition out over the vast assemblage and deep down in into the hearts of many. “Are your win- dows open toward Jerusalem? or, in other words, are you looking for the commg of | the King? are you ready for the great day when all of us must answer for our dee: upon earth?” This was the idea of the \hymn. Many there were who heard and heeded the word of warning, and so it was to bow for a few moments in silent p-ayer the stillness was profound and impressive. |_ From the stillness arose a voice in prayer. |It was the voice of Rev. Mr. Staxely, the youthful-looking pastor of the First Bap- tist Church. He made an ecraest appeal to Divine Grace for a blessing upon this and upon the succeeding meetings and upon |the two men who, under the direction of Providence, are conducting the services. “Blessed assurance,” the blessed assurance that comes from God’s promises, was the burden of the next hymn sung by the choir. As the notes died away Mr. Moody said that he wanted Mr. Sankey to go to the overflow meeting, so he would ask him to sing once more before he left. Mr. Sankey sang a pretty little Scotch song, written by a daughter of bonnie Scotland who was liv- ing in this country, “far fra her a’in thame.” Its title was “My A’in Countree, suitable, to an eminent degree, to a hymi It was in dialect, and Mr. Sankey apologis ed before he sang, as he told briefly the | history of the hymn, saying that he was not a Scotchman, and so would probably not render it as he should do it, though he was a great admirer of the Scotcn people and the old Scotch Church. Again every head was bowed in silent prayer. “Almighty and everlasting God, bow down and draw us nearer to Thyself, make us to feel Thy presence and own Thy power,” rose the voice of Rey. Dr. McKim. \“We know Thee as a God of compassion land tenderness. We thank Thee for Thy | boundless kindness and endless mercy. How | often have we gone against Thee, but Thou \hast been ever merciful unto us. Grant |that all our sins, that are past, may be blotted out, and give us new and contrite hearts. May we turn from our sins and find in Christ, our Redeemer, our solace and blessing. | May Thy holy word go straight home to every heart tonight. We plead Thy cross, Thy suffering and Thy bloody sweat as we ask for forgiveness, and may many a heart go out to Thee this night and say, ‘Father, I have sinned against Thee,’ and in Thee find comfort |and forgiveness. We ask it all in the name of Him who hast died for us, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Mr. Moody’s Talk. Another hymn was sung by the choir and after some announcements, Mr. Moody read ,a selection of Scriptures, beginning with | the eleventh verse of the thirty-fourth chap- | ter of Ezekiel, a chapter which fs full of | promise to all who believe in Him, and this | ‘ied up naturally to the spirit of the next |hymn, “Christ Receiveth Sinful Men.” Then Moody began his talk, want to call your attention this even- ing to one of the sweetest texts in all the | Bible, from the lips of Christ himself, tell- jing of the purpose of His own mission on Jearth, the tenth verse of the nineteenth chapter of Luke: ‘For the Son of Man is |come to seek and to save that which was Host. | “Many of you think you have sought i Christ, but don’t you think that you sought that when at its close Mr. Moody asked ali | ree Him first. He has been secking you | many ways. You never heard a sermon a hymn or had a tract thrust in your han@ | but what Christ was seeking you. It may have been a letter from your wife or @ picture of your mother looking upon you 4s you did that which you ought not. It Christ seeking you. remember one time a young man telle ing me that he used to be dissolute an@ many times he had came to his room an@ had seen a picture of his mother looking down at him reproachfully. That fece haunted him until he had to turn it to the wail. It was simply Christ him. Christ is seeking you now. It does not an anxious sinner and an anxious Sa) long to meet. “There was a shepherd once, and be ha@ one hundred sheep. Ninety-nine of ‘them Were safe, but one of them was lost he ceased not nor rested until he had that one. A woman had ten Yer and lost one of them. She down to weep, but she took a light and «| broom and she sought until the one that was lost. And Was not the sheep that was piece of silver, but the shepherd woman who rejoiced. A Personal Matter, . “It is you, brethren, that this text refers to, not your neighbor nor some one else, but you, yourself. I remember one time @ Woman who thought she ought to receive Special consideration because she was @ very respectable sinner. But somehow oF! other she failed to reap the rich harvest that should come from faith. On one oo! casion she heard the question asked, “Are you God-like?” This made her think os So brethren, I ask you, are you God-like I don’t believe you are altogether godless, but are you compietely God-like? If mi you should come to Christ and ask Him make you like Him.” In carnest, yet very common, everyday words, Mr. Moody told the story of the blind bezgar who had been told of the Wonderful healing powers of the Christ, an@ how he went to fim to have his sight re stered. Drawing on his imagination, as be said one had a right to do when he tried te realize how great is Christ and His good ‘work, Mr. Moody went on to draw a verbal picture of the wonderful scenes in Jericho that day when the poor blind man and the rich man of Jericho were saved. He tured the scenes as Christ and the line of His followers trudged along the road until they reached the big sycamore tree im which Zacchaeus had sought to hide him- self from the observation of the crowd, and yet see it all for himself. “Zacchaeus, make haste and come jown, for today I must abide at thy house. “and Zacchaeus probably wondered how Christ knew his name, but he did make! haste to come down. Brethren, He knows your name and your street and number, and He knows it every time you lie, oF sceal, or cheat, or strike your wife. He knows it every time you get drunk. “Brethren, we hear a great deal sbout the impossibility of sudden conversion. But how about Zacchaeus? There was no of conversion when he went up into tree, yet he was converted by the time he came down. He must have been converted some time between the time he left the branch and the time he reached the ground. | But we are told that sudden conversion does not iast and does more harm than good. Again, how about Zacchaeus? I wish we could have a dozen or a hundred like him right here in this town. Zacchaeus was @ tich man, but he went right off and de- voted one-half of his goods to the poor. Oh, | my brethren, if we could but gt some, of the rich men of Washington to follow im the footsteps of Zacchaeus, I have an ides) that the poor of this city, at least, would believe that there was some value in sud? den conversion.” Knew He Was a Sinner, Mr. Moody tald a pathetic story of his_ work ane afternoon in the Tombs in New, York, where every one of the mes behind | the bars insisted that they were innocens_ and persecuted, all save one. That one, knew he was a vile sinner, and Mr. Moody | said that it was like a cup of cold water tb a thirsty man to find one sinner in such @ company, to tind one man who was bonest enough to know that he was full of sin, for , he knew then that there was one man there | who might be saved, and that one man was saved. | s said Mr. Mooly, drawirg to- ward a close, “it is not the godiy and the virtuous that Christ came to call to repent jance. It is the sinner that He rejoices ww save. Won't you come? ‘ This closed his address or rather the prays, er that followed it did, for the prayer was an earnest appeal that the spirit cf the living Christ should be abroad emong gathering ready to bring over to His every wayward or doubting heart. Then the choir sang a hymn that told of the welcome that will await the wanderer when he comes home. “Let us all come home right now,” said the preacher impressively. “Let ‘us all come home to the Christ in a prayer for a: benediction.” Rev. E. D. Bailey led in! prayer. Dr. McKim of the Church of the Rev. Epiphany delivered an eloquent address, 4 | which he urged upon his hearers “not to receive the grace of God in vain.” It is the right and the duty of each one to answer for himself, he pointed out; no one can an- swer for you when the offer of salvation ts made. You can receive Him, and you also have the power to reject Him and to de- prive yourself of the joy and the happiness that comes from receiving Him, Christ is ready, anxious and able to save sinners even to the uttermos' Mr. Moody's Littie Story. “Take me as I am,” was the hymn that the Yhoir sang at the conclusion of Dr. Me+ Kim's address, The third verse reminded Mr. Moody of an incident in the story of the conversion of a young English army officer, i and he stopped the singing, while he told | of this young man. The young lieutenant had been gambling and rioting until late one night and was on his way back to his! own quarters from the officers’ mess. ; “Mr, Moody,” said he, “I was going bacle | to my room and I said to the Lord, “Lord! take me, but you've got to take me just I may change a I am, for if you don” mind before morning.” “I was shocked at first,” sald Mr, “when he told me that a when I thought of it, I saw the way it had to be; he must as he was or not at all. take him, and that man became Christian worker and one of the most men I ever knew. Hi Gibralter, and he has with Christ who saved Mr. Moody asked to those and His lo “I hate talking at Come, let's turn this inte meeting,” and he himself oe ing ae and joined with going from one to another word of hope and there a week ot tion. After some hymns and brief the meeting closed. —e FISTS USED AT ANNAPOLIS, The Carrico-Mudd Contest Avouses Counsel to Fight. ‘The usual monotony of Maryisnd legiee | lative matters was enlivened last night by! @ fistic encounter between ex-Judge D.
