A larze number of friends ac- companied the funeral party on their sad mission. Miss Nora Gleason evening at her home on of hemmorhuge of the luugs, after an 1liness of only two duys. The deceased was but ninetcen years of age, and leaves a wide circle of young friends to mourn her loss. The funeral will take place to-morrow, but the time is not yet fixed. The council will devote considerable time this evening to discussing the location for a new city hall. It 18 expected that several propositions will be submitted by the owners of different sites, who would like to secure the location of the new building. It is under- stood that there are a nnmber of parties who would be greatly tickled to see it come their way, as the erection of the provosed struc- ture would greatly enhance the value of ad- Jacent property. Che No. 2 hook and laader truck was called out yesterday afternoon, but not to a fire, An awning over one of Eiseman'slarge show windows was broken by the high wind, and fell in such a position as to greatly endanger the glass, The fire boys and their Iadders wero called into requisition to re- move it. The truck standing in front of the building attracted quite a crowd, who thought thata fire must be in progress Dell Smith was run m yesterday afternoon for drunkeness. Smith has an unenviable reputation with the police, and is the same ‘purty who was arrested here and held to the federal grand jury for counterfeiting. He is 8 bad man and the police are determined that he shall not run at large in the Bluffs. He struck town Saturday night, but by dodging through the alleys succeeded in keeping out of the way for about eighteen hours. The order in his case is always *‘out of town or into the town,” The ball game at Fairview park yesterday afternoon between the Odells and the City Steam Laundry nine, of Omaha, resulted in 8 victory for the visitors by ascore of 11 to 7. It was a fairly interesting game up to the last inning, when the visitors rolled up six runs. The Odells then went to bat for their last half, and when a man was declared out at the plate, a howl went up, it being alleged that the catcher dropped the ball, and the home team rcfuged to continue. It wasa great kickiug exhibition throughout, and would have disgruced a country town, even as 1t disgusted the thirty people who dropped 8 Tmrlnr in the slotto get in.

Dr. Cooley's Ideas of Futura Punishment. PLEASURE AT FAIRMOUNT PARK. Banquet at the New Ogden—Two Brassy Fellows—Nothing New of the Murder—Personal and Minor Mention. The Nature of Future Panishment. The Rev. Dr. Cooley delivered the second of the series of discourses on future things at the First Baptist church last evening. The discourses have awak- ened @ great deal of interest and the church was well filled. The subject was “The Nature of Fature Puanish- ment,” and was based upon Matthew 25:41.46: “Then shall He say also to them upon the left hand, Depart from Me ye ac- cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for thedevil and his angels, ¢ * * And these shall go away into everlasting punisnment, but the righteous into life eternal.” Every one who has seriously thought of the other world is consclous of desiring to know not only the fact of future punishuient but also its character. This desire implanted in our nature God has made provision in His word to satisfy, and it is to this source alone that we can look for certainty in tius matter. The first characteristic of this punish ment is thut it will be one of condemnation. The very idea of punishment im- plies this, We must be sentenced before we are punished. The condemnation of the smner bezins with his swning. “He that believeth not is condemned al- ready, because hie has not believed in the Son of God.” This condemnation rests upon the unbeliever all through bis life in this world, it follows him through the inter- mediate state, and comes with him to the judgment seat of Christ at the lastday, Where there is to be a public adjudication for un assembled universe. There he will receive a public and formal sentence, but it will be substantially the same in kind as the one resting upon Lim thus far through his course of sin. Then it wiil be no longer a vrivate matter between him und God, but it will be proclaimed in the ears of all, and every oye shall sea its justice. Then also their sentence will be fully carried into exe- cution and the sinner experience all the con- sequences of his guilt. This condemnation will greatly increase his sufferings. To realize forever that we are condemued, and that our condemnation is just and is known to all will be most difficult to endure. If we could hide our shame in some sccret place, and no one knew 1t, it would be u great alle- viation of our misery. but this cannot be. In that world to which we are hastening there is no obliteration of the past, and we also have reason to believe that though a wide pulf separates the wicked from the righteous yet they will recognize each other, that the saved will see the mis- ery of tge lost, and these will see the happi- ness of the blest. ‘The second characteristic of future pun- ishment is that it will be a conscious punish- ment. We can conceive of punishment where all consciousness is lost. In military executions where a mau is shot by a number of bulls through the heart, but little pain 18 felt and there is instant cessation of all con- sciousness. Such a punishment is far less dreaded than when death is experienced by lingering torture. It is on account of this fact that some of late years have tried to prove that the punishment of the wicked will be an unconscious one, that the sen- tence of the condemned .soul will be an eternal sleep. Let us in examination of this question look first at the expression of our text, “‘everlasting panishment.” The Greek equivalent for this word is “‘torment” be- cause fear has torment, Fear causes and possesses conscious misery, Plato uses the same word to describe one subjected to corrective punishment. Again we find these words, /Cast_ve the unprofitable servant into outer darkness, ete.” Christ speaks of the wicked being cast into unquenchable fire or outer darkness, or simply out of the kingdom of God. The effect is always the same, nowhere destruc- tion of consciousness, but everywhere in- tense misery. This state of misery is always represented as fixed Between us and you there 18 a great guif fixed, so that they who would pass hence to you can not, neither cun they pass to us that come frowm thence. ‘The biblical meaning of the word death brings us to the same conclusion. Adam was told, “In the day thou eatest therof thou shalt surely die.” If the death of the body alone was meant the threatened penalty was not executed, for our first parents lived nearly a thousand years after their dis- obedience, Either God did not keep his word with them or their death was something different from the death of the body, and this was the death of the soul, The very moment they transgressed God's law they were estranged from Him, Their joy i God was destroyed and union between them and God broken up. This is being dead in trespasses and in sins, The body separated from the soul dies. Death is separation, but never is death annihilation, ‘The dead in sins are conscious and nave their various sinful pleasures. So, in eternal death there will be the most intense con- sciousness. The figure of the fire that is ver quenched suggests the most intense consciousness, Noone could be sleepy or 1n a semi-conscious state while wrapped in flames or the worm gnawing upon him, ‘The third characteristic of future punish- ment 18 that it will be one of intense misery. This is seen first in the more vivid consciousness we there shall enjoy. A little child who hus lost his father, while he is not conscious of his loss, will grieve but livtle, while the mother will be well nigh inconsola- ble. So in spiritual things, When in this world of despair the lost realize what thay have done and cast away all hopes of heaven and neglecting every offer of salvation, their anguish will be imsupportable. Every des- cription of the lost the bible gives the idea of 1ntense suffering. The wailing and the gnashwg of teeth which is declared again and again to be the employment of lost lgirils, forces the conviction that the punishment of the lost will be most terrible, The smoke of their torment ascending up forever and ever is a figure of the most intense wretchedness. To cast into outer darkness where the sight of the joy and bappiness within is ever present to the banished soul is enough to cause the keenest paugs of remorse. When that ec- centric but honest man, Jobn Randolph, lay on his deatnbed he suddenly arroused him- self and shouted, *Remorse!” *Rewmorse.” He then insisted toat the word should be written so he could see it, and looking dfustly upon it the dying man exclaimed, Remorse.”” You have no idea what 1t is. 1t has contributed to bring we to my present situation, but I bave looked to'the Lord Jesus and hope I have received pardon. This remorse may be the worw that never dies. 1 believe it is. ‘The fourth characteristic of the punish- ment is one of bauishment. *‘Depart from me, ye accursed.” How the old Greeks and Romans feared this kind of punishment, we have but to read their various authors, Cicero could never be happy out of Rome. Those condemned to Siberia re- gard themselves as great sufferers, Banish- ment is next to death, so will the condemued soul feel at the last day, only a thousand fold more intensely. Tobe banished from heaven, to be deprived of all happiness, will muke the soul most wretched, w there no lake of fire, no undying worm, This alone will be sufficient Lo cause overwhelming agony, and this sentence every one who rejects Christ bear, he fitth characteristic 1s that it will be eternal. The bible makes no discrimination as to the fact of eternal existence between the righteous and the wicked. The word rundered everlasting is the same Greek word @8 rendered eternal when speaking of the blesseduess of the righteous, Yes, the soul coudemuea for rejection of Christ is con- demned forever, and must suffer the conse- quences, Ounce consigned to perdition there is no respite, once lost the soul is lost forever. This is why Paul says: “Knowing the terror of the Lord we persuade men.” He knew it was a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God, hence his zeal in preaching the gospel to the per! . Hecause we fully beiieve in the eternal punishment of the ungodly we seek by every means to induce you to aceept Christ and his salvation. e Dined at the New Ozden. Landlord Etter of the New Ogden dined & number of prominent members of the board of trade and representatives of the press yestorday at that popular hestelry. Certain reports, derogatory to the hotel, have been circulated among traveling men, and it was desired to have prominent busi- ness men investigate the matter. After par- taking of a splendid dinner, the guests in- spected the hotel, after which they adjourned to the parlors where a sotof resolutions were formulated to be presentod at the meeting of the board of trade this even- g, The resolutions, after being adopted by the board, will be called to the attention of th various wholesale houses sending represon- tatives to the city. The business men of the Bluffs object, and with good reason, to traveling men bestowing their patronage on Omaha horels, while doing business in this city, when they can secure first class accom- modations on this side of the river, Several theater companies, which occusionally make the Bluffs, might well be given a wholesome lesson of the same character. o Falrmount Park, The beautiful gem of Council Bluffs set amid the romantic hills and shaded by ver- dant boughs of forest trees, The most de- lightful place imeginable for picnics, tennis parties and quiet rambles.

Notwithstanding the dust and dirt that filled the air yesterday, the streets prosented quite an animated appvarance, and a large number of visitors weré to be seen in Fair- mount park. They spent the day, howaver, in the lower part of the park, as the wind blow uncomfortably hard over the tops of the bluffs.. In the city the dirt made life out of doors anything but comfortable, as tho streets had not been svrinkled for a couple of duays, and the dust was at the disposal of the healthy zephyrs, which whirled it about with tho most uttér disregard of human wishes and results, There were very few visitors at the lake, and the appearances indicate that' the season there is drawing rapidly to a close. It has been a suc- cossful ono, and one with which the parties most interested teel quite well satisfied. Plans are already being made with reference 10 next season, ana new attractions will be secured to make 1t a more popular resort than ever, The scheme to get up & regatta fell through from lack of encouragement, but it will be revived for next year, and by proper attention given earyl in the spring, it 18 hoped to secure a meeting here of several of the noted oarsmen of the country. —_—— Recoilect that W.

There came very nearly being a fatal ele- vator accident in the new Eiseman building last evening. Louis Ottenheimer, one of Mr. Eiseman’s relatives, was leaning over the clevator shaft from the third floor talk- ing to some one below. The elevator had been run up to the fourth floor and had re- mained there some time, and the supposition was that nobody was near it. Suddenly it started down rapidly and noiselessly, and the first intimation Mr. Ottenheimer had of its presence was a thump on the head. He was knocked against the railing and crushed down upon it, but the boy who was bringing it down had caught sight of him and stopped the ponderous ma- chine, If it had gone a foot further he would have been beheaded of else thrown headlong into the shaft. Fortunately he was only slightly hurt. The elevator is not yet com- pleted or the accident could not have hap- pened, For fear there should be an acei- dent the Messors, Eiseman hav e decided not to run the elevator at all during the opening night and to-morrow evening. Every pre- caution has been taken to insure the safety and comfort of everyone who attends the opening. —— Winter & Monroe, sign painters, 416 B'wy. il Jud deid C. B.

NO LONGER A TOWN OF ADOBES, But a Progressivs City of Twenty« Five Thousand With Beauntifal IBuildings and Money in Her Inside Pocket, Points Ahout Pueblo. PUEBLO, Colo., Sept. 20.—[Special to Tue BEE.]—-The trip from Colorado Springs on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad to Pueblo lies along a beautiful little mountain stream, the Fountaine qui Buville. The same maguiticent scenery greets the eye that charms the traveler between Dénver and the Springs. There are the same lofty mountains and deep gorges, having the same grand outlines, yet never the same. They form a panorama of beauty that never grows old to the intelligent mind, Ever and anon a well-kept ranch nestling in the foothills lends an air of home life to the scene. It was just 8:30 when the train pulled into Pucblo, the young Pittsburg of the west, The scintillating rays of the elec- tric light chase back the gathering shadows. The bells ona score of en- gines clanged and the short. sharp whistles of the answering locomotives proclaimed the fact that this is a great railrond center. The hungry passen= gers hurried inw the great eating- house for supper. Few people who have visited this part of the west have not heard of the big eating house at Pueblo, Over twelve hundred passengers are fed each day, and the cash receipts are $600 daily. The passenger trains from. the fifteen railroads centering here make this great restaurant, at least once each day the year around. The eating houses and hotels in the towns along this graat scenic route enjoy a liberal patronage from the trading public. Occasionally asmall village is almost deluged with hungry tourists. One of these occasions I witnessed at the village of Castle Rock. The train was delayed by a washout for a couple of hours. The con- ductor obligingly told the passengers that those of them who were hungry woulid have ample time to get supper while the train was waiting. In a jiffy the train load of passengers were rushing down the street toward the hotel. S)on two small hostelries were brim full and running over, and as one relay of hungry morctals sat down after another, the chance for a square meal for the balance became slimmer and beautifully less. At last the bill of fare was reduced to liver and smear case. Fortunately, at this juncture. the bell rang the signal to start in time to save the castle guarded city from hay- ing to breakfast on cactus and Colorado ozoue. : After a good night’s rest I was out carly on & tour of inspection over this booming young western city. Boarding one of the many street car lines a ride of amile or more carried me past the elegant business houses whose closed doors stood mutely waiting in the early light for the day’s work to begin. Even the watermellon had not taken its place on the front shelf of the grocery. But the horse-motor has crossed the viaduct over the still network of rails and is now bowling along the **Masa” above the city. From this elevation the view is a grand one. Pueblo seems like a city set into a plain, banded with the flowing Arkansas as with a broad rib- bon of silver and guarded by the snow crowned mountains at her margin. The buildings present a substantial appear- ance. Scarcely a frame building is seen, nearly all being built of orick or the picturésque red sandstore of Colo- rado. Many of the pubiic buildings tower far above their surroundings like gentinels watching over the workers pelow. The tall church spires and the towers of the elegant school buildings which greet the eyes on every hand are an index of the character of her citizens, The state hospital for the insane, just completed on the north side, is one of the lurgest and handsomest buildings in torado. Pueblo has some beautiful homes, those of some of the mining kings being almost palatial in their proportions, and the cotta, which are nearly all built of brick, are neat and home like. The reader should not confound the Pueblo of twenty vears ago with the Pueblo of to-day. Then business was stagnant and the ‘‘adobe’ mansion reigned su- preme. To-day ~everything appemis new. The city has wealth, a vast trade, a teeming population and the biggest building boom in the west. The ‘-old maid” has dropped her calico gown, she has put on the silken robe and with plenty of money in her inside pocket 1 a cateh for any suitor. The real estate man is here with his glib tongue and two minute horse. His Dundee Place sounds wonderfully familiar to Omaha ears, The stakes of the new additions reach far out from the city’s gates. But the mountains of ore, her whirring fac- tories and the busy home builders are close at his heels and soon the farthest .stakes will mark the cen- ter of population for the Pueblo of the future. Pueblo is purely a commercial and manufacturing city and is rightly named the Pittsburg of the West. Within easy distance are the most extensive coal fields in the world; near her are vast mountains of iron ore, while exhaustless mines of gold, silver, copper and lead Jie all around her. To these grand natural resources recent discoveri added vast fields of petroteum, One well now in operation flows 1,000 barrels of oil per day. Add to this the fact that it is a down-hill haul to Pueblo from every mine in this region, and you have an array of natural sources seldom cl%lllllflll, d The largest steel works in the world are located here, and the smelting in- terests of this city are very extensive, The three largest smelters are the Philadelphia smelter, the Colorado smelter and the Pueblo Smelting and Refining company. Among the larger manufactories are the large steel works, the Colorado coal and iron works, the Launon foundry und Sterns, Rodgers & Co.’s miming machinery company. The mines supply most excellent cooking coal, us well as lime and other ma- terials necessary for the reduction of ores. The material resources of this placé deeply impressed Jay Gould and calle forthd from him the remark that Pueblo was destined to become the greatest mining and manufacturing city in the Unpited States. Pueblo can scarcely be classed among the pleasure resorts of Colorado, and yet ghe has very respoctable claims in that direction. They have several mineral springs and an artisan well whose waters possess marked medicinal qualities, Just about one mile out from l.‘ne city is a beautiful lake of fair di- mensions, with steam, yacht and sail boats, dancing pavilion, ete., with a broad boulevard leading out to it, This is also the point from where the tourists start to visit the Royal gorge, on the Arkansas river, one of the most magnifi cent natural spectacles in the known world. Coupled with thess places of interest, Pueblo possesses an unrivoled climate, which with its other ad- vantages, make it a perfect home for its 25,000 citizens, and a veritable sani- tarium for the ailing of other climes. C. D. THOMPSON, —— The Avory Onk. The “‘Avery oak” {s an ancient troe which stands ou land now owned by J. W. Clark, Dedbam, Mass., and where once stood the house of Deacon Avery, after whose name the tree was called. It is much older than the town, which is 258 years old. It mensures sixteen feet 1n circumference near the bottom of the trunk. TIts top has been much twisted and torn by the storms of cent- uries, but the tree is still cherished as aproud specimen of the stately growth of its old companions of the forest. Seventy dollars was offered for it to be used for timber in building the frigate Constitution, but refused by the owner. The tree is imprinted upon the town seal. It has been presented to the Ded- ham Historical society by Mr. Clark. ————— The O'Sul ivans Are Coming, The O'Sullivans are coming. There are twenty-seven of them in the family —father, mother and twenty-five sons and daughters. Nora O’Sullivan, the youngest member of the family, flaxen-haired miss of fifteen years, was at the Mission of Our Lm?_v of the Rosaro at Castle Garden the other day. She informed Rev. Father Callahan that she had left her father, mother, thirteen sisters and eleven brothers in County Kervy, Ireland. Nora said, further, that two of her brothers were twins and three of her sisters triplets, She hopes to see the whole family in the United States early next spring. She is the advance agent, as " it were, of the great attraction. Moving Baltimore's Old Postoffice. Workmen have becn engaged in re- moving the log structure that served as Baltimore’s first postoffice from the spot on which it has stood 159 years to Monu- ment Square. where it will be set up alongside the great granite building, occupying a whole block, which next week will be deaicated as the new post- office. The quaint old structure is 14 by 156 feet and 12 feet high to the dor- mer roof. The openings between the logs were plastered up with oyster shells and mud. e — A Brace of Brassy Individuals Offier Cusick yesterday morning arrested one Callahan for the larcerny of a lotof brass from the transfer yards of the Union Pacific railway company. The property was sold to a Jewish second-hand dealer near the Northwestern depot, and the latter was also arrested just as he was starting for Omaha with the brass in his wagon. The stolen proverty, which weighed 190 pounds, wus coucealed in a couple of sacks. The Jew gave 8500 bonds for his appearance for trial, and Squire Schurz held Callahan in the sum of $1.000, which he could not give and was accordingly sent to the county jail, to await @ hearing.
