The police were informed last night that o party of Omaha toughs intended to raise o row at the Danish church, corner of Avenue A and Ninth street, Officers we ent to the church but the row failed to come off. The Presbyterian chu folks have about decided that they will go ahead this spring with the completion of the addition to their church. A portion of the money is already socared, and the addition will be made to complete the building in accordance with the original plans, One of the worst mudpuddles in the city is rig! one of the most promi- nent places, Broadway and Pearl street. The paving has settled, mud has aceu- mulated, and there the water stands, making the passage across the street rather dangerous widing. A man named Shokel, for several days has been hanging around a bawdy house on Picrce street, and Saturday night stole a revolver from the propric- tress of the place. She, however. r covered the weapon, but last night in- formed the police and Shokel was run in. The attention of the sidewalk inspec- tor, or some other official, alled to a place in front of Metealf Br where the brick walk is torn up considerable space. That, and the pile of brick near it, renders locomotion un- safe, especially at night. There are a number of other places upon the prin- cipal business strects to which timely attention should be en in order to se- cure personal safety and immunity from litigation, Yesterday afternoon the body of Mrs. Mary Jano Van Pelt was laid to rest be- side that ot her husband in Fairview cemetery. The attending ceremonies oceurred at 2:30 o’clock at the home of her duughter, Mrs. I. A. Miller, 805 Second avenue. A large number of those who had known and loved the de- ceused during her life attended the ser- vices. Dr. Phelps of the Presbyterian church officiated. If the sickness in Judge Thornell's family prevents his return_from Sidney this morning, Judge Loofbourow will probably preside in the district court and dispose of such matters as cannot he delayed. The Coffman case is set for to-morrow, and Judge Loofbourow is to try that, but the case of Richardson vs. Scott will hardly be finished before the middle of the week, and that takes pre- cedure of the Coffman case.

SUNDAY SERVICES AND SERMONS Sneak Thieves Becoming Too Numer- aplaint of Leaking Dirt ~The Fire Lads Called Up-Personals. The Motor Line. some quiet moves going on There ar preparatory to the opening of the motor line this spring, and the renewal of the enthusiastic rush for Lake Manawa. The chief cause of delay last season was the lack of crossings at the railway tracks, Tt seems pretty evident that the motor line will not be allowed to cross the tracks at Ninth street, without a long and bitter fight with the railways. It is believed that the railway com puanies will consent to the line crossing their tracks at Seventh or Bighth streets, if suitable crossings are put in. It seems that this matter might be amicably arrangod at once, so that everything could be put in readiness for an actual opening of the line as soon as the weather is such as to make it de- sirable. If the adjustment of these difficulties is put off until the weather is favorable for doing the work, delays may arise, as last year, which would prevent the public from having the needed accommodations until too late in the season to be of any use. The citizens generally express them- selves as ready to give such helpas they can to the owners of the motor line if they show an honest disposition to help themselves and do the best the; can. The old owners and managers e hausted public patience by their re- peated promises and prolonged procras- tinations. Mr. Reed is very reticent and the public is not bored by any boasts or flattering promises. He seems in- tent on his own business, and those who know him best say he has both means and pluck. As the time draws nearer for the expected opening of the line there is naturally some anxiety and much curiosity. The public seems to want some promises, and yet has no longer any faith in promises, especizlly when they concern the motor line, N New embroideries just received at Harkness Bros., 401 Broadway.

At the Presbyterian church yesterday rning there was a large congrega- tio The-attendance at the Sanday service is increasing rapidly,and this is largely due to the excellence of the ser- mons delivered by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Phelps. His ripeness of scholarship, clearness of statement, vividness of il- lustration and his dashes of eloquence make him a strong pulpit orator. Yes- terday he took as his text Paul’s words to the Colossians: “*For in him dwell- eth all the fullness of the godhead bod- ily.” From these words the speaker sought to carry the thoughts of his hear- ers, along easy lines of reasoning, to a realization of how high o conception Paul had of Christ. Several strong suggestions were made from the study of the original words, and their peculinr significan when thus used to the Colossians, whose belief was peculiar. The vpreacher alluded to the fact that many believed that Christ wasa grand man, a moral hero, a wonderful reformer, but this conception he de- nounced ' as nonsensical, when com- pared with the conception which Paul had. If this low estimate of Christ’s character was intended, the divine pen went sadly astray. The words meant more than this, much more. There were many gnostics among the Colo: ns. They believed that God was 80 great that he had nothing to do with this There was such an in- finite distance between God and man, that humanity could not reach up to the divine. Between the two was the con- dition in which there were emanations from the deity, and these were called acons. They gave Christ the position of one-of these aneons, and thus sought to combine christianity with gnosti- cism. Paul, asseen by the original, clearly touched upon this belief, and gathering up all the virtues manifested in these aeons, declared that Christ not only embraced all these, but still move, the fullness of God himself. It wasa grand climax, a wonderful conception. Christ could not be deified by man. There were saints; there were wonder- ful men who had been canonized, but no worship on the part of man made Christ God. e was God, whether man wor- shiped him or not, The fullness of the godhead was in him bodily. "‘This meant much. One might build a mighty cauldron as large as the Roman amphitheater and might fill it from the sea. It would have the fullness of the sea, but it would not have all the sea by any means. It would not be the fullness of the sea bodily. No one man, however grand, could contain God. He might be filled with God’s spirit, but Christ contained the fullness of the god- head bodily, Omnipotence,omniscience, very power and attribute of God, was ned in Him in their fullness. This conception was beyond human c¢omprehension. Whocould answer the question: *“What is God?” The scien- tist, the philosopher, the bible student, the angels themselves, veiling their fnces in his presence, could not put the answer in language: they could but tell some of the attributes, yet all of God wus in Christ. Christ was also human. When the birthday anniversary of Stephens great English engineer, was ated, there was a great crowd of people. Among the pageantry and brilliant pro- cessions there appeared a little band of peasants, humble in mien, poor In purse, who were given the most promi- nent place in the great gathering. These were from the quay where Steph- enson was born, and their cheap little bunner bove simply the words: **He Was One of Us,” "So when beyond the river, when all should pass the judg- ment seat before the great white throne amid all the golden robes and brilliant crowns, those from earth wonld be given a glovious welcome, for **He was one of us. =3 ) e 1f you desire to get & new Hall type writer cheap, drop a postal card to H.

R Reform in Wagons Needed. The BEE will once more call atten- tion to the fact that it isa finable of- fense to haul dirt upon the paved streets in illy constructed wagon boxes so that the dirt falls out. At the last meeting of the board of trade that body voiced the wishes of the citizens at large in demanding a rigid enforcement of the law in this matter. Notwithstanding all this but little attention is paid by either the dirt haulers or the police. On Saturday last the reporter inspected a number of wagons that are being used upon Eighth and Ninth avenues and Broadway. Out of twenty-three wagons noticed, but six of them were con- structed with any regard to compliance with the ordinance. Several of them were perfect sieves, the dirt falling ulong the entire route. It is true there are occasional arrests, but they are not frequent enough to operate as a check upon the practice. It is claimed that the ordinance does not fully cover the ground to be reached. That it applies to the end boards of the wagons and not to the wagons themselves. If this be the case the ordinance should be amended. The reasons why are too many and obvious to require detail here. Cleanliness, health, municipal respectability are involved. Tt is earn- estly hoped that the city council will take such action, und that at once, as shall effectually stop this practice. =St i They are going like hot cakes—the lots that Tipton has for sale.

Hardly a day passes without the re- ported loss of some article taken from the barns, yards, coal houses and houses throughout the city. Evidently the sneak thief is getting in his work in good shape. One man complains of the loss of his soft coal, which disappears steadily night after night. Another reports that his coal shed was broken open and quite a quantity of hard coal and other small articles were stolen. Still another is the case of a lady who put a full strip of carpet upon the back porch to clennse it. After an hour she ooked for it but it was gone. Some measures should be adopted to prevent these occurrences. The people of the city ask, and they have a right to de- and, protection to their propert This is the purpose of the police system. Possibly the force is not large cnough to effect this purpose.

Since the completion of the Upper Broadway engine house Chief Temple- ton has had a desire to see a practical demonstration of the workings of the system. As there have been no fires lately this desire has not been gratified. He determined to test it anyway, and on Saturday night, while the boys were all in bed asleep, he quietly slipped into the house and struck the gong. Before the second tap some of the boys came sliding down the pole ready for busi- ness and before the alarm” was com- pleted all the boys were in their places, the team was hitched and all was in readiness for a start. " Up to this time the chief had kept himself hid, and the boys supposed the alarm to be a genuine one. They did not make the run, for the chief called to them to stop. Al- though no record was made of the time taken to make this night start, the chief says it was remarkably fast and he is fully satisfied with the system and his men. —_— Travelers!

One brokersaid his customers alone lost £3.000°000 in 1882 and #1,500,000 in 1884. It has taken about $21,000,000 to pay the brokers’ commissions since 1881, making a total of $141,000,000, which loss has been car- ried by speculators in seven years. Is it any wonder that most of them have lost money? If a man is going to take a flyer in oil he had better take it on the producing side of the business. Few men have gone into producing oil but have made money. provided they con- ducted their business in a legitimate manner and did not try to capture the whole world. ce 1859 there have been drilled about 57,000 wells at a total cost of $200,- 000,000, These wells have produced 850.000.000 barrels of oil, which have been sold for 575,000,000, leaving a net, profit of $375.000,000. The three largest companies engaged in the oil business are the Forest Oil company, the An- chor, and the Union companies. All these pay good dividends, the Forest paying 12 per cent a year. O11 producers are divided into two classes; one is the daring wildcatter, who, going far from other fields, leases huge tracts of land and tests them by drilling several wells. If heis lucky enough to strike a good well his fortune is made. The other class, as conser- vative as the wildcatter is reckless, go about the thing in a business-like man- ner and buy property where it has been proved that oil exists in paying quanti- ties. They have the business down so fine that they can tell you almost to a week how long it will take to pay for their property with oil at a certain price. There are any number of men who, beginning with a few hundred dollfrs, have made %50.000, $100,000 and $200,000 in the last few years. The oil fields of western Penunsylvania are the richest in the world, and there is more money in oil producing than there is in the United States mint. prman A Peace on Earth Awaits that countless army of martyrs, whose ranks are constantly recruited from the victims of nervousness and nervousdiseases.

The leader, one Collet, used to buy out business es- tablishments and manage to get away with the goods and custom without pay- ing anything for them. He gave satis- factory references upon members of the gang, who rented offices for no other purpose. He agreed to pay half cash, which,by Parisian usungu,mo:\un eleven days after publication of the legal an- nouncement of the sale and transf These eleven days of actual pos: Collet employed in learning the work- ings of the business; that is, he sold out as much of the stock as he could and made new purchases to_replenish the stock, which he sold again at any price le could obtain. On the eleventh day, when the former proprietor came for his money, he was given an order on Col- let’s moneyed agent, whom he had to look up in a saloon in Belleville, most disreputable subu of Paris. The agent pro- fessed to have been left without funds; Collet maintained it was a mis- take and produced a pass-book showing a deposit of sufficient size. In that way the creditor was sent to and fro for days until he got exaspered and threatened legal proceedings. ‘‘All right,” said Collet, I shall await your summons.’” And after that he declined paying, but insisted on waiting to be summoned. The suit required not less than two months, during which large quantities of goods were bought and never paid for, but sold for cash at any price. On the day preceding the granting of the war- rant of execution Collet sold out his store to one of his accomplices, whom the former proprietor was now compelled to sue again., In spite of all the warn- ings issued by the police, Collet con- tinued to find ready victimsall the time, and could not have been stopped but for the fact that he forged h!ns of ex- change and was imprisoned on that charge. A search of his dwelling on Duris street disclosed immense heaps of pawn-tickets for goods from any number of stores he had bought and letters showing that he had been selling forged bills to a number of provincial cities, amounting in one case to upward of $10,- — - The Michigan Central's Niagara.

A special to the New York World from North Adams, Mass,, says: “‘Mother is dead; come at once,” was the message telegraphed by ‘Dexter M. Bishop, of Readsboro, Vt., a few days ago. The message had to be contra- dicted, for Mrs. Lois M. Bishop, aged eighty-six, had not died. After lying unconscious for hours, she revived and is apparently restored to her farmer health. Mvs. Bishop says that while she was unconscious she heard a voice say, ‘*Mother,” and she recognfzed it as the voice of her eldest son, Franklin Sylvester, who died fifty years ago. She also recognized the voice of her hus- band, who died thirtysive years ago. He asked her what she wanted, and if she was coming to him, and she replied, *Yes, William, I have been in great afliction,” After having seen and talked with her dead hushand and son, the old ludy says she doesn’'t want to live any longer, but wants to go to them. She” has no doudbt that it wus heaven where they were, with all its glories and bright- ness, Just before she was laid on her bed her hands became purple and the coloring crept nearly up to her wrists and then nearly the whole length of her arms. Her feet became ey cold and the same purple coloring bogan to show in the body. While this discolor- ation was taking place Mrs, Bishop called each of her three daughters, her , Dexter, her son-in-law, Truman redslet, and her ten grand children and gave them a farewell message, Soon after she was dead to all appear- ances, and the fact of her death was communicated to the neighbors. The story of her coming to life reached the village of Readsboro, and curiosity- seckers arve coming in force to see her. — e Jewels and Gold are not to be compared in value toa good memo By Professor Loisctte's famous system, a new discovery, en- dorsed by Professor Richard A.

A—" Rate Wai St. Paul Globe: A railroad cut-rate war is something like a bear sucking his paw for subsistance during the win- tér season. If bruin is able to get out atall with the opening of spring he comes out in a terribly emaciated con- dition. A cut-rate war is of no benefit to shippers and terribly damaging to the railrond companies. Shippers are not substantially benefited by the cut rates, because there is no certainty of their continuance, and men with busi- ness instincts do not base their opera- tions upon uncertain conditions. The railroads not only lose money, but they demoralize the transportation business to such an extent that it takes months after the war is over to get their affairs straightened out again. Why men with the business qualifications that rail- road managers are supposed to pos- sess should ever adopt such unbusiness- like methods to meet competition is one of the inexplainable mysteries of the railroad problem. They do it, never- theless, and it is such a” frequent occur- rence that the public mind is being im- pressed with the belief that the opera- tion of the inter-state commerce law will have to be extended so that in the regulation of inter-state traffic a mini- mum rate will have to be fixed as well as a maximum. It will eome to that sooner or later. The public interest will require it, to say nothing of the protection it will afford to the railroad- business of the country. The peoble are only interested in securing fair rates. It is not to the - public interest that the the transportation of the coun- try shall be done on a losing scale. While it is desirable that the public shall be protected against extortionate rates, it is_equally desirable that the transportation business shall be done at, compensating rates. There is alw: happy medium in e hing, and if the railroads do not strike of their own ac- cord, they will have to be legislated into it. Leland hotel, Chicago. Gastronomic Notes. Henry Guy Carleton in New York World: Terrapin shooting in Chesa- peake bay is a noble and exciting pas- time. The terrapin burrow in the mud and the s man digs them out with a long-handied shovel, and either im- merses them in a private stew or sells them for 60 a dozen to persons not gifted with much intelligence. Itis said tobe very difficult to_prepare ter- rapin for the table. The chief object is to completely drown the natural flavor of the reptilo in a rich and fruity wine, and when this is successfully done the cook is at ouce entitled toa blue rib- bon. Canvas-back ducks are more easily cooked than the tervapin. Merely heat the kitchen up to 85 degrees and carry the bird slowly through. Many persons claim there is no difference be- tween the canvas-back and the red- headed duck., There is. The simplest way to tell a canvas-back is to look at the bill of fare, whereon you will see his name in large, full-face e for #4, and many men pi the red-head, which only costs $2.50. Gould 'has for nineteen years abstained from canvas- back ducks and terrapin, and he is now beyond want. 1 repeat that T will not go duck-shoot- ing until the marguerites blow, the song of the bulbul is heard in the blos- soming copse, and some other song in the municipal cops. By that time th ducks will be in Alaska or the I islands, but I have a reckless nature and do not care. Men who carry a heavy insurance and are otherwise weary of life may find relaxation in pampering a young and industrious case of chill- lains, rheumatism and galloping con sumption, but as long as this present weather lingers I prefer hunting my canvas-backs at home with a gold cer- tificate and a bill of fare. e Dead fish by the thousands are float- ing upon the surface and lining the shores of Couch Lake, Oregon.
