While 4,000 people were watching a fire in a building on Smithfield street, opposite City Hall, Pittsburg, last evening, four pis- tol shots were heard coming from a room on the third floor of the Hotel Eiffel, in the same block. When the police officers and hotel at- taches rushed to the room they found Louise Kellogg, an actress, writhing on the floor with three wounds on her head and neck. Alongside her and bathing in the blood from her wounds was E. J. McNabb, the base ball player. Blood trickled from his mouth, and he was dying. Within five minutes he was pronounced dead. The wo- man was taken to the Homeopathic Hos- ital. Pirhe woman regained consciousness at midnight and told the hospital physicians the affair was the result of jealousy. Mc- Nabb, before shooting, she said, struck her on the head several times with the revol- ver, cutting deep gashes. One bullet lodg- ed in the spine and caused paralysis of the lower limbs. She said she had just finished a New York engagement and came to see her father, T. J. Lewis of Braddock, Pa. The couple came to the hotel Tuesday night from Baltimore. They engaged a room and seemed to be on the best of terms. The body of McNabb fs now at the morgue being prepared for shipment after the in- quest to his parents’ home in Mount Ver- non, Ohio. He pitched for the Baltimores last season and this year signed with the Grand Rapids team. He has been playing ball six years, and was known as “Pete.” He made his reputation as a pitcher in California two years ago. Louise Kellogg is a resident of Braddock. Her right name is Mrs. Louise Rockwell, and she has a husband in Seattle. She is a young woman, and lately has been a member of Charles L. Davis’ “Alvin Jos- lyn” Company. It is thought that she intended to brea!: with McNabb, and he shot her when she told him. —- 02 GREATER NEW YORK. If Consolidation is Accomplished It Will Surpass Par! The bill that has passed the New York legislature will give the people living in | New York city and Brooklyn and the ad- Free advantages to! joining towns and villages an opportunity to say whether they are desirous of being incorporated into one large city. The bill proposes no plan for the consolidation and government of these different areas, but oYers a chance for an expression of public opinion. Tne vote is to be taken at the general election, November 6. If the scheme is carried out New York will at once take rank as the second city in the civilized world, second only to Lon- don and surpassing Paris by a good mar- gin. It will have an area of 317.77 square miles and a population of 2,965,792. London is believed to have 4,251,431 peo- ple within its limits; Paris, 2,447,957, and Berlin, 1,570,244. Funds of Iron Hall. About 1,000 members of the Order of the Iron Hall in Maryland have proved their claims before Receiver J. Weiner and about 100 have signed a petition to Judge Dennis asking that the order’s fund in Maryland be sent to Indianapolis for dis- position by J. F. Failey, general receiver. Mr. Weiner says that his estimate of a 30 per cent dividend is as much as could be obtained by the members if the money is sent to Indianapolis. A DOUBLE-DECKED “L.” The Manhattan Elevated Railroad Will Build One at New York. Russell Sage says that as a practical solution of the rapid transit problem the | Manhattan elevated railroad of New York intends to build a second story on its structure, whereupon express trains may be run between Harlem and the lower part of the city. Just how soon the work is to be begun is not yet known, but plans have been completed ang the policy of the | company is to push the work as soon as possible. “The plan: said Mr. Sage, “have been drawn by one of the most distinguished | engineers in the country. The second | story can be built without weakening the Present structure, but strengthen it.” “Is the second story going to be built on the present structure?” > “No,” said Mr. Sage, “the second story will have its own pillars leading up from the street through or alongside the pres- ent structure. The two structures will | then be firmly bolted and joined together, materially strengthening the present ele- vated road. The distance between the two structures will be ten to fourteen feet, just sufficient to clear the locomotives and cars. The lower structure wiil be used for the local traffic, as at present. On the upper structures express trains will be run by the new motive power.” Lawson N. Fuller is authority for the statement that for six months at least it has been the intention of tue Manhattan Company to build a secona story to the elevated structure and that everything is now ready to go ahead with the work. Others say that the scheme is an old one of Jay Gould. Russell Sage said that he had spoken to Mr. Gould about it before his death as the only possible way in which the Manhattan Company could meet the demands made upou it by the growing population of the city, but that Mr. Gould Was not ready to take it up. ———_+-o+ The Corbett-Mitchell Trial. The criminal court at Jacksonville, Fla., -envened yesterday for the trial of Corbett ‘and Mitchell. The street around the court house was crowded with spectators anx- lous to see the two pugilists. Corbett was first to arrive, and was soon followed by Mitchell. Besides the boxers, there are ar- vaigned for trial Joseph Joe Vendig, J. E. ff. Bowden, Harry Mason, Charles E. Rich- ardson, Lou Sihler, R. H. McMillan and fF. Blake of the Duval Athletic Club, and Billy Thompson and Wm. A. Brady, as aiders and abettors. The trial of Corbett was first begun, and the result of this will flecide the other cases. The champion is charged with engaging 1 a fight and meet- ing in pursuance of previous appointinent one Charles Mitchell, whom he did then and there beat, bruise, wound and ill treat. John E, Hartridge, attorney for the club, waived arraignment and pleaded not guilty. Twenty witnesses were called. The entire morning was consumed in picking a jury, and at 12 o’clock five had qualified, three white men and two negroes. The general impression is that although the trial will likely consume several days the men event- ually will be acquitted. Attorney General Lamar is present and will assist in the prosecution. ~ eee Warrant for a St. Louis C: jer. At the instance of the board of directors of the St. Louis National Bank yesterday afternon a warrant was Issued for the ar- rest of William E.

HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN LONG FACES Many Express a Desire to Lead the Christian Life. ant DR. fourth and last week began yesterday, a collection was taken up last evening to defray the expense of the rent of the hall. Mr. Moody in announcing the collec- tion said that the amount realized from the three previous collections was over $300, but that the expense of renting and lightin the hall, etc., was something over 000, and it was hoped that the people who at-| tended the meetings would contribute | enough to meet this item of expense. While the baskets were being passed by the ushers the choir sang. The service of song had been in progress for some time. Aithough the hour for beginning the meet- ing is not until half-past 7, the hall is usually completely filled by 7 o'clock. only were all the seats in the great audi- torlum of Convention Hall occupied, but also the standing room in the rear and on both sides of the platform. The seats on the platform and in the choir are not all taken at such an early hour, but by the time the regular service was begun there were not places. Gen. Schofield and Senator Proctor occupied seats on the platform with the! ministers and those who held tickets en- ttling them to this location. A Wom 's Voice. The slight bustle and stir that was occasioned throughout ‘the hall by the pass- ing of the baskets had not subsided when the clear, sweet tones of the contralto voice of Miss Nally of the choir of the First Congregational Church were heard. A hush fell upon the great assemblage as they listened to the beautiful words of the hymn “He Leadeth Me,” which was so effective- ly rendered. Then prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Bittinger, pastor of the West- minster Assembly Church. “Though your sins be as scarlet, shall be as white as wool,” of a duet sung by Mr. Sankey and Mr. Foster, the latter playing the accompani- ment on the organ. A period of silent prayer followed, the deep stiliness which pervaded the hall while all gave audible expression to the pet tions. “Mr. Sankey will sing No. 334," exclaimed Mr. Moody, as he stepped to the front, followed by his co-worker, who seated him- self at the organ and played his own ac- | companiment. Mr. Moody announced that this afternoon he will talk to backsliders, and that each afternoon at 1 o'clock those who wished to talk privately on the subject of personal religion were invited to come to Assemb would be glad to converse with them. Mr. Moody began his discourse at 8 o'clock and spoke about tNirty-five minutes. Mr. Moody's Sermon. The breadth of Mr. Moody's subject ad- mitted of several texts, which he read with his usual clearness. The first was from the 88th and 39th verses of the 13th chapter of Acts, which relates to Christ's teaching the Gospel; the second, from 15th chapter for our sins, and the last was from the |15th chapter of Mark, the lth verse: “Re- pent ye, and believe the pel.” “Now, what does this word Gospel mean? It means God’s spell,” began Mr. Moody, and then went on to say that although this word was probably the commonest in the Bible, he felt sure that almost all in the jaudience, if called on to explain its mean- jing, would have a feeling of embarrassment at their ignorance. The meaning was “good news,” and when the first shepherd was |tcld in Bethlehem of the co: of Christ, that was the happiest Gospel ever heard on | earth. “Many a time I have preac ous Gospel of the Son of God, said, j though I were reading a death wa them.” ed the glori- ’ Mr. Moody He said that those who would not |listen to the Gospel, or give up their sins, | were like a street sweeper in Dublin, who, when told of his falling heir to an income of fifty thousand dollars, |ean’t give up my old broom.” Another story described the conversion Jan English nobleman, and his unavading ef- said: “But I forts to induce the people on his place to | jaccept the gift of the Gospel. Finally he jcaused it to be announced that he would pay the debts of all on a certain hour on a cer- tain day. His sincerity was not believed by jany, except one man. When they fc |his promise was a genuine one |levers came flocking to the office of the ‘nobleman. But they found that it was too jlate, the stipulated hour had passed.

All the sins are put behind him; Christ has judged them and “orgiven em. A man may be forgiven of his s' said Mr. Moody, and yet suffer from some of the con- sequences. He told several apt stories to illustrate this point, how a man, though a pardoned sinn et suffered from his sins. “For example,” he 1, “suppose in a drunken spree I lost my arm; God might forgive me for the sin of drunkenness und | I might have full pardon, but I would go | through life carrying the burden of that maimed arm,and down to my last day Mr. Moody Thinks That It Should.

Then the man in a burst of - tence confessed his fault, and reminded his ter that he had once said that if he should be in fault and should repent and should confess his fault that the master would forgive him. “Now,” said the serv- “I hold you to your word.” His master said that he would forgive him, that he would keep his word, but said he to the servant,““You must go out and reap that field of wheat.” And so, said Mr. Moody, there are certain things you have to suffer for if you do them, but God will forgive if you only ask Him. An Impressive Silence. Mr. Moody concluded with one of those powerful personal appeals which mark his public utterances. He exhorted the men and the women to receive the message of g00d news which he had brought them and to accept it now, He told them that they were free agents and it was theirs to choose. He then led in an earnest, fer- vent prayer, in which he asked that the presence of God's spirit would be manifest in the audience, and pausing in his invoca- tion he said, “And while the voice of man | is hushed may the voice of God be heard in this hall.” An impressive pause followed and throughout that immense hall the au- dience sat with bowed heads in hushed lence. Mr. Moody stood with his head bowed, and then after a short interval he | again led in audible prayer. He prayed that | as God has spoken to Saul that He should speak to the people here tonight. At the conclusion of the prayer the chotr Sang and an opportunity was given to those in the audience who were unable to remain longer to retire from the hall. Only a few went away, and their places were quickly | filled by others who had stood patiently | throughout the services. When the hall was again quiet, Rev. E. B.

Dr. Hamlin, the pastor of the Church of the Covenant, to say @ few words, and the latter, coming forward, made a simple but effective appeal to the unconverted. He said that from alll indica- ions he was convinced that the Holy Spirit | Was most graciously present in the hall. He thought that there were many hundreds in the audience who wanted to be saved and who would be glad to make the good news which had been proclaimed to them a personal matter. He said that he wished to speak to those who are not Christians; he did not mean altogether those who were not church members, nor those who had never made a profession of faith in Christ, but he wanted to talk to all those who in their hearts felt that they were not Chris- tlans. He then spoke of three steps that were necessary. First, he said, you must know that you need the Gospel. He then asked those who knew this to rise, and = @ number, in response, stood on their The second step, Dr. Hamlin explained, is to know that Christ fs able to save you; | not Mr. Moody or some one else, but you. I sived those who believed that Christ w indicate it by rising, and again a number | responded. | The third step, Dr. Hamlin explained, was simple decision. He wished that they could all get rid of the idea that some great revo- lution, some revulsion, was needed. All that was wanted was decision, just as simple as to decide to come to this i tonight. He told an incident mple and businesslike was d he made an earnest plea that all make | the decision at once. Again he invited those to arise who were willing to take this third step, and again @ number re- sponded. fervent prayer was then offered by Dr, Hamlin for those who had thus their decision. The conversational meeting then followed. Watching for His Coming. Mr. Moody's theme in the afternoon was the promise of the Lord to return. He | Spoke of the glorious hope of this promise, j and said that, like all God's promises, it | was good d would be kept. He dwelt upon the advantage of keeping a constant watching for His coming. “Nothing can so help to take us out of the deadly whirl- pool of the world; of the whirlpool of fash- | ion; of the whirlpool of society, like con- | Sant watching for the coming of the Lord. God has told you to do it, and it is safe to jo What He tells you. Don’t mind what the scofling world says.

It had already been destroyed by fle and it would be again by fire. He 4 Paul's last letter to Timothy prophe- i the terribly perilous times that were to come in the last days before the destruc- tion, and asked if they were not here. Mr. Moody continued at some length ex- horting his hearers to shape their lives so that they would be among the blessed who should meet the Lord on His return to the world, and closed with a plea for the sal- vation of all. A conversational meeting followed. Important for Christians.
