8 a3 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1895. APPLIED CHRISTIANITY, H. J. McCoy Explains Why the Y. M. C. A. Could Not Harbor Herronites. SAYS IT’S FLAWITH'S MISTAKE. Capital Might Be Attacked by Some Hot-Headed Young Orators. People interested in the new Institute of Applied Christianity have been waiting somewhat cur y for the return of Sec- retary H..J. McCoy of the Y. M. C. A. to ain an explanation of why the institute denied a meeting-place in the Y. M, C. A. building after being permitted to as- semble once there. Secretary McCoy, who returned home ““The whole question has n out of a misconception. Just three wee! o I met Rev. F. Flawith. Hetold me about the new organization (he is the new president, T believe), and added that Tuesday was the meeting-day, and that they would like to assemble at the Y. M. C. A. building. 1 told Mr. Flawith there was a room, and the next day, to my surprise, he presented me with a copy of resolutions of thanks for allowing the institute to make its headquarters at our place. My dear fellow, you are a little pre- tu 1 exclaimed, surprised at re- such resolutions. ‘I only; gave b cei g - ‘ you the room for one Tuesday evening; I have not the power to give it to.you per- manently. Chat night I brought the | matter before our board of trustees and they decided unanimously that it would not be possible to have the institute hold- ing its meetings at the Y. M. C. A. build- ing. This decision was only in accordance with our orinciples.

B When Arrested a Second Time His Honor Released Him on His Own Recognizance. United States Secret Service Agentof the Treasury Harris returned from Portland, Or., last evening, where he had been to attend the trial of “Doc” Davenport, charged with making and passing counter- feit money. The prosecution and itsresults are among the most remarkable in the history of the United States courts. Davenport was arrested and pleaded guilty, but in extenuation said he had been | inveigled into making the coin by a man | employed by Secret Service Agent Harris. | The Judge refused to accept his plea of | guilty, and later ordered the District At- torney to nolle prosequi the case. The Jatter refused, and the prisoner was tried | Jast week. The Judge ordered a verdict of | not.guilty brought in, and then the District Attorney arrested Davenport on a .second | charge. At this his Honor got angry, and | immediately released the prisoner on his own recognizance. “Do you want to know something about the rémarkable trial of Counterfeiter Davenport?”’ said Agent Harris last night in response to a query. “Well, I will do the best I can. Some months ago a man named Wolford Reid was . arrested in Oregon City with $575 in counterfeit gold pieces on him. 1 at once went to Portland and there learned that the counterfeits were made in the hills backof a little place called Lebanon, but just where no one seemed to know. “] employed a man ‘named Charles Fresh to help me and he finally ran ‘“Doc” Davenport to earth, and before the Grand Jury he confessed that he assisted the Jen- nings boys in making the $5 counterfeits, and told us where to find the plant. “Those were the facts that pr«zcédfid nport’s appearance in court. He ;I;’l:;';egoguilty. g\?tenid Fresh had led him into the scrape. United States District Judge C: B. Bellinger, who was hearing the case, refused to lccert a plea of guilty and said: ‘Sentence will not be passed at this time. Detectives of the Government have no right to_aid in the commission of crime. I want it understood that persons who go about instigating crime will ot find their business successful in this court.” ' as'the end of the matter at that timTe?;;;' lacexilhe instrpe'ti:;i c:l: i’gi:t\::: to nolle prosqui n ]A)::oer:;gn, and 3}.:# the Iatter refused his Honor said he would instruct the jury 0 e e case came to- trial Tast week /! and the evidence showed that Davenport had been making money and that in my efforts to locate his manufactory 1 had given Fresh money to buy counterfeits rom him. “The first time Fresh went to Davenport the latter said he had no counterfeits, but that he would go to his forge in the moun- tains and make some. He tried to get Billy Flaugher to go with him, but the latter got scared and would not go. Then Davenport said he would make them in his own house. This he did and Fresh bought quantities from him and turned them over to the authorities, afterward giving Davenport half of what he was sup- posed to have got for them. The coiner was caught almost in the act by United States§Marshal Grady and his deputies and all his paraphernalia was seized. **When gaught jDavenport said: ‘So you have got me again. Well, eight years ago I pleaded guilty, and got off Wwith two vears, and I'll try the same dodge again.’ Then he told of the Jennings $5 outfit in the mountains, and said he bad helped them on several occasions, because they did not know haw to plate their goods. ‘When taken to Portland, the counterfeits found upon Wolford Reid were shown him, and he said they had been made by the Jennings boys and himself. ‘“All this was put in evidence, but when we put the Jennings boys on the stand to identify the money, the Judge wouldn’t admit it. District Attorney Murphy said he wanted to show that Davenport had been a long time in the business and had taught others. His Honor would not listen to the argument, and said the Government had not made out a case, and that further- more its detectives had employed Fresh to solicit Davenport to make the counterfeits. “He admitted it was a crime for the pris- oner to have made counterfeits at Fresh's instance, but that it would be against pub- lic policy to convict him. On that ground he would not admit testimony that went to show previous crimes on the part of the prisoner. The Judge then ordered the clerk to prepare a verdict and instructed the foreman of the jury to cast the vote for acquittal. “This was done, but District Attorney Murphy at once had Davenport arrested for making counterfeit $5 pieces. This riled his Honor, and with a great deal of warmth he ordered the prisoner released on his own recognizance. Turning to me he said that the Marshal, urged on by Secret Service Agent Harris, was attempt- ing to defeat his purposes, but that he would see to it that they were not success- ful. Davenport, ore of the most danger- ous counterfeiters in the West, was set free and 1 came home. It was a remarkable TRKGRS R MO A Them Have All Been Dismissed. Many of the Prisoners Came From Oakland, Sacramento, Red Bluff and This City. The cases againet over 200 men accused of complicity i the railroad strikes of last year were all:dismissed in the United States District Court yesterday. There was not a grezt amount of interest taken in the proceedings, and only afew of the men over whom the indictments hun, were present. George W. Monteith, the attorney who | defended John Cassidy and John Mayne through one of the longest trials on record, was present ‘to hear Judge Hawley pro- nounce his clients free men. As soon as the court was called to order United States District Attorney -Foote arose and read -his instructions from the Atforney-General in- regard to the striker casgs, [t was -a- simple statement. to the effect that, in'yiew of the factslaid before him by Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald, he thought it would be good policy-to dis- misg all the seven indictments; which cov- ered charges against over 200.men. Mr. Foote then made a formal motign to this effect, and Judge Hawley made the neces- sarv.order. Clerk Manly at once wrote Nolle prosequied” against “Striker case’’ om hig calendar; and the whole matter was finished, “I am glad it has turned:out in this way,” said the: District Attorney. “I recommended the dismissal of these cases after the trial of Cassidy and Mayne, and, being contident that that course would be pursued sooner-or later, I let it: be known that any one of the strikers who had a chiance of goin: and I would aflow him to go on hisown recognizance. Now the whole matter is wiped from the calendar and I'm glad of it.” The great railroad strike was inaugurated on this coast a year ago last June. All the lines of the Southern Pacific Company were tied up and things went from bad to worse until on July 4, 1894, a train was de- railed on a bridge near Sacramento and two men lost their lives. From that time on the strikers lost strength gnd finally a total collapse followed. Once things were in working order again the troops and militia were withdrawn, and then the wrath of the Southern Pacific and the authorities was turned against the strikers. left and soon the 200 men whose cases were dismissed yesterday were under in- dictment. Shortly after the railroad strike cases were dismissed in the United States courts yesterday Labor Commissioner E. L. Fitz- gerald received a letter of thanks from the American Railway Union No. 310, located in Oakland. About two months ago the railroad men who had been arrested for conspiracy in connection with the strike of last year appealed to Mr. Fitzgerald for help. They stated that their cases | were dragging along in the United States courts, and while such a state of affairs existed they were unable to seek employ- ment, being liable to be called into court at any time. Mr. Fitzgerald interested himself in their behalf and after corre- sponding with the authorities in Washing- ton the cases were dismissed, and yester- day about 130 railroad men received the nc'v:'xs of their freedom. The letter of thanks reads: Dear Sir: Ata regular meeting of this union No. 310) your letter to our worthy president, ohn Forrest, stating. the action you have taken and the result of said action in having the indictments against the American Railway Union men dismissed, was read and a commit- tee was appointed to’ tender you our heartfelt thanks for the manly action that you have taken. We appreciate it the more when we realize that your only motive was the good and welfare of the wage-éarners, Our thanks come to yon like the widow’s. It is ail we have, and though you have other friends more in evidence, you ‘can never have any that will pe truer or appreciate more the favor conferred on them than the members of the Local Union No. 310, A. R. H. Hoverry, Secretary. Among the cases dismissed were 14 from San Francisco, 32 from Oakland, 36 from Sacramento, 18 from Red Bluff, 8 from Vallejo and the remainder from Palo Alto and other places. 3 B — Charged With Burglary, W. J. Sandborn was booked at the City Prison yesterday by Policemen Reynolds, Donovan and Drew on the charge of burglary. He is charged with entering the house of J. Neilson, 1020 Sacramento street, on June 22 and steal- ing some jewelry and money. He was seen to enter and leave the house by some young men who went to school with him. Sandborn is 23 years of age and has been arrested several iimes before. e S O The Mennonites have 17,078 members and 197 churches, valued at $317,045.

DR. GUNSAULUS TO LECTURF, The Presbyterian Election — Metho- dist Preachers Take a Vacation. The auditorium of the Young Men’s Christian Association was crowded yester- day afternoon when Miss Anthony, Miss Shaw and the ministers of the City were the guests of the Congregational Monday Club. Miss Anthony commenced her ad- dress with: “Mr. Chairman and minis- ters: (How many ministers there are who wear bonnets!) There is no reason why the churches and schools are sneered at by | men of affairs except that they know there | is no strong voting constituency behind them. The average boy holds his mother’s opinion in disrespect, no matter how much he loves her. She tries to teach him that he should shun tobacco and strong drink, but he sees his teacher and the superin- tendent of schools using the weed, and some one has told him that when the Forty-seventh Congress aajourned only one man was sober, and that was a colored man. Hearing of these or parallel cases, he revolves them in his youthful mind and says, ‘Mother, you don’t know anything | about it; you are a woman.’s The child | cannot be expected to hold his mother’s opinion in higher respect than his father does.” The speaker was emphatic in her state- ment that women are fireutly hindered | in their natural work of education, charity | and reform by their lack of the ballot, and | said that a few unscrapulous men by their votes can outweigh the good will and wishes of hundreds of women. Miss Anthony believes that there must be a revolution” of existing laws. Condi- tions must be entirely changed before woman reaches the maximum of her use- fulness. She said: *If some of the women don’t want to vote it is because they have {not been educated to want that right. i Every woman in the possession of brains and morals should want to vote.” Rev. Anna H. Shaw was -introduced as the woman who had *“made politicians squirm and ward-heelers squeal,” and ste remarked that she found herself in more congenial society at that moment than of the classes named, even if she is a woman who wants to vote. She said that the objectors to woman suffrage use sentiment, not arguments, in debate. After listening to such sentimental twad- dle she declared she always felt fatigued. **Women may say and truly,” she said, i “that_the franchise will be ‘an added re- sponsibility, but it will also relieve women of many heavier responsibilities.” Argu- ing in thisline she pronouncea the bulle- tin boards of San Francisco educators in vice and a disgrace to the City. Answer- ing the claim that women suffragists de- | nounced the men she said such denuncia- | tions came from the other side; that suf- | fragists belfeve the average American man |8 pretty decent fellow to live with and vote with, but the opposition claims he is | so egotistic and pigheaded that if his wife | holds other views than his he will quarrel Fwith her. She considered that the only | freedom lies in discussion between equals. | 'When one does all the ruling, the other all | the yielding, tyranny and slavery are the |zesu ts. - She ascribed the adverse reports on the wor}.in{fs of woman suffrage in Kansas to the fact that the opposition eontrols the Associated Prees. Referring to Paul’s much-talked-of in- junction to women she said that the op- position harps on the sayings of Paul and Timothy, but dodges those of Christ. In conclusion sheexpressed the heartiest good will for California and its dwellers, and said she is confident that in the election next year the men of the State will place women on an equality with native-born Chinese. Rev. James D. Eaton of Chihuahua, Mex., will address the club Monday on Mexican missions. { Methodist Preachers’ Meeting. I Rev. S. D. Simons read a paper on “Per- | sonal Reminiscences,” in which he dwelt \upon spiritnal as opposed to natural ex- 5periences, at the Methodist preachers’ meeting yesterday. Rev. Frank M. Day of Hillsboro, N. Mex., made a brief address. He is spend- ing a two weeks’ vacation in San Fran- cisco, and said that sixteen years ago, when he was a boy setting type on the Alta, he was converted at a Methodist preachers’ meeting. He said that Sabbath desecration is a Qent obstacle to effective church work in New Mexico, and holds the mine-owners, who require work on their properties on that day, responsible. Mr. Larson, pastor of the Danish-Nor- wegian church, announced that the church building would be completed in thirty days and that services would be held there after that time, althongh the dedication would be postponed until the return of Bishop Goodsell, who is in New York. The meeting adjourned until the first { Monday in August. Presbytgrian Ministerial Union. The Presbyterian Ministerial Union elected the following officers yesterday: Rev. G. B. D. Stewart, president; Rev. Duncan Munro, vice-president; Rey. James ‘Woodworth, secretary and treasurer. The topic of discussion was “The coming of the Lord.” Rev.James Woodworth opened the discussion. He said that Christ had already come twice, in the resurrection and the incarnation, but the kingdom of God can be hastened by means of the secu- lar agencies of progressand the activities of God’s people. i Dr. Alexander will be the chief speaker at the next meeting of the union. Reception to a Chinese Physician. A reception will be tendered to Dr. Hu King Eng, a recent graduate of the Phila- delphia Medical College, at the Central Methodist Episcopal Church this evening. This Chinese lady is said to have won higi honors in her alma mater. Lecture by Dr. Gunsaulus. Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus, the noted Chicago divine, will deliver a lecture at Plymouth Congregational Church on Saturday even- ing. There is o baking powder which pro- duces such sweet and tasteful food as the Royal Baking Powder. THINKS SCHEEL WILL PAY. Secretary of the Musicians’ Union Says There Will Be No Disaf- fections. o5 It has been currently reported that there was much dissatisfaction among the mem- bers of the Musicians’ Union on account of what many think an unjust verdiet in the case of Professor Scheel. While many sympathize with the distinguished musi- cian, there is not the slightest probability of a schism 4n the ranks of the union on this account. They like Scheel, but they are Joyal to their pledge. 4 ‘“There is not the slightest truth in the report that Scheel will be able to obtain thirty-two members of the union to join him, so that he can carry out his contract with the Mechanics’ Iustitute,” said the :ecreur‘yflo( the Musicians’ Union yester- day. “While many feel for him %oe they are not foolish’ enough to allow their sympathy to get the better part of their judgment. Should such a tmnx happen they would find themselves in Scheel’s power, and this they realize. *1 think the whole matter will be settled to-morrow by Scheel paying up what he owes. At least that is the general feeling here now. 3 *‘Scheel has had his agents working among the men, endeavoring to create dis- satisfaction, but they have met with abso- lutely no encouragement. L. M. Ritzau is the name of one of the parties and charges were preferred against him to-day, [ am not at liberty to give the name of Scheel’s other agent yet, though I think the whole matter will be settied to-morrow.” MARRIED OR SINGLE. John Lofdahl Makes Some Contra- dictory Statements in the Police Court, A few days ago a warrant was sworn out in Judge Campbell’s court for the arrest of John Lofdahl, on the charge of bema):nl under promise of marriage. The complain- ing witness was Emila Johnson, a pretty young girl. Loidahl was brought from Watsonville Sunday by Policeman Geimann and yes- terday morning appeared in court. Lof- dahl’s attorney told the Judge that he was willing to marry the girl and she also ex- pressed her willingness. Just then a man rose and said that Lofdahl had a wife and famil{ in Sweden. He announced himself as Lofdahl's brother. When questioned by the Judge Lofdahl denied that he was mar- ried and he and his attorney and the com- ghining witness, accompanied by an of- cer, went to get the necessary license. On the way Lofdahl’s attorney warned him that if he was married and swere he was a single man he would get himself into more serious trouble. This frightened him and_the party returned to court, where Lofdahl confessed that he had a wife®in Sweden. This put a new complexion upon the case and Lofdanl was remanded till July 3 to enable the prosecution to make proper inquiries as to whether he is married or single. ADJUSTING THE LOSSES, Fire Insurance Men Very Busy Yesterday Getting State- « ments. Prospective Work for. Many chanics at the South Side Burned District. Me- Yesterday was about the first day that much of anything has been done looking toward a rebuilding of the south side burned district and a settlement of the losses. ; The insurance agent adjuster was abroad in theland getting particularsand amounts of claims, and as most of the losses were total, thereis not much trouble anticipated in making amicable_settlements. ‘While it is yet early in the day for many to have decided upon definite plans, the opinion prevails that work upon a majority of the buildings will be soon under way and furnish employment for numerous workmen. The tenants of the western end of the block bounded by Fourth, Fifth, Brannan and Bluxome streets are trying to come to some agreement with William B. Brad- bury, who leases the ground of A. B. McCreary. The leases of all parties have only one year to run and as the tenants do not like to erect buildings for so short a time, they are trying to either cancel the present leas~s or get new ones for a longer term. The controversy may be the cause of delaying work on this block for some time. 1t is the intention of C. W. Burgen to at once erect a three-story frame planing- mill on the site of the ofd one on Brannan street, near Bifth. George Brandelein will also put up a two-story frame building on the same block, to be used as a furniture factory. and Morgan & Potter will put up a ma- chine and blacksmith shop. A. C. Stoetzer of the Belmont Hotel and H. Outsen, who had the feedmill adjoin- ing are wil]ingeta build again if the lease question can be settled, as also will J. Ein- stein of the Commercial Milling Company. Carrick, Williams & Wright, the box- men, own their own ground and will soon have mechanics at work on their new buildings. Their loss was very heavy, their insurance of $14,000 only about cover- m§ the outside lumber and supplies. t is the intention of John Horstman to commence work as soon as insurance mat- ters are adjusted, and it is quite probable that Main & Winchester, the harnessmen, will not be long behind him. The mem- bers of the latter firm are both in the East, and whether they will erect a brick or frame structure is not yet decided. It has been customary, for some years past, for the underwriters’ organization to contribute $1000 toward defraying the ex- pense of keeping all firemen on hand over the Fourth of July. This year, owing to the disruption of the Insurance Union, this fund is being raised by subscription among the various companies. When a prominent insurance man was asked yesterday whether the underwriters, as a body, would take some action regard- ing the poor water supply of the south side districts, he said that the recent rate war made united action on almost any snb- ject impossible. ‘“What we also want,”” he said, “is a paid fire department. With three regular men at a fire house and the rest scattered all over town, what else can be exéPecved but heavy losses at times? The Supervisors have been appealed to time and again over the water main ques- tion. They and the Fire Commissioners suzgh'. o approached by popular agi- ation.”” Some of the house-renting agencies re- l)ort plenty of tenants for their “‘to let” houses near Fourth and Freelon streets. Like the Donnybrook Fair celebrities, who, when they saw a head hit it, many of the fire sufferers 'when they saw a vacant house entered it and made themselves at home. One man who rented a house in the regu- lar way found three families comfortable imd happy in the supposed vacant build- ng. Fire-damaged cigars are being retailed by the small boy at six for 5 cents, ‘‘war- ranted genuine Havana.” MURDER OF MOORHEAD. Edward Magner Held to Answer Before the Superior Court. The preliminary examination of Edward Magner on the charge of murder was held before Judge Joachimsen yesterday, and after hearing the evidence the Judge held him to answer before the Superior Court without bail. % On the night of June 15 Magner was in Comiskey’s saloon, 15 East street, He had been dnnkmg heavily and was in a quar- relsome mood. He and Pete Collins got into a row and were going outside to fight, when Moorhead went between them iu the character of peacemaker. Magner umlB ran plunged a knife into_his abdomen out of the saloon. Moorhead was taken to the Receiving Hospital and expired in a few hours, Magner surrende himself next morning and denied knowing any- thing abont the matter, but admitted vhat he was so drunk that he had no recollec- tion of being in Comiskey’s saloon. ——————— .

THE STORY OF A FRANCHISE How a Gun Burst In the Trenches Just Prior to the Last Struggle. At the last meeting of the Street Com- mittee of the Board of Supervisors a vote was taken on the petition of the 8an Fran- cisco and San Mateo Railway Company for an extension of their franchise out Sunnyside avenue and to the ocean. There has been nothing before this com- mittee or the board for many, many days that bas developed anything like the con- tention that this matter has. It was one of the holdovers from the old board, which had wrestled with the question in commit- tee, the committee reported it to the board, the board back to the committeeand, when the tenure of their office expired, it was still there. Then the new board took it up and sent it to the committee and there, week after week, the friends and enemies of Behrend Joost and the San Mateo Railroad have gathered and battled until this bit of fran- chise has become as famous in the Councils of the City and County as those old grades on Battle Mountain, Some very ugly things have been said in the course of the repeated skirmishing, and it has been a matter of wonder to those who have watched and listened to it from a disinterested standpoint to note all the bitterness of opposition that was developed by the property-owners along the line who might have been expected to favor it, be- ing the people to be benefited. Through it all Joost has kept an even course, showing up regularly, and smiling at every call of the case, supported by the bland, unruffied tenacious eloquence of Mullaney, his attorney, as well as the rep- resentatives of the receiver, all of whom neversrew weary in answering the most excited and fire-eating attacks of the oppo- sition. At the last meeting of the committee H. M. Clement, by way of argument against the petition, made & personal attack on Joost, offering him and the record which he declared he had made for not keeping obligations, as the best reason for not grant- ing him further favors. A foust, in a speech immediately follow- ing, kept to his text—the benefit his road would be to the people in the region traversed—and completely ignored the per- sona! attack upon himseli, except to coolly remark at the close that Mr. Clemant was the paid attorney of the Market-street Rail- way Company; that he would have been his (Joost'sg attorney, perhaps, if he (Joost) had had money enough and had thought fit to engage him, % Mr. Clemant declared he was not the attorney of the Market-street Railway Com- any. r Some days ago a man who is a_friend of Joost—so it is related—and who is also on familiar terms with the Market-street Rail- way people—the Southern Pacific Com- pany—desirous of learning just how the wind was blowing in this matter, called upon H. E. Huntington and said to him: “If you have any notion of extending your lines out that way pretty soon I will get in and oppose the Joost petition.” Mr. Huntington loofied at the gentleman with smiling urbanity and answered, “Oh, don’t bother about that, my. dear sir; we are going to get that franchise.” This little story is run in by way of parenthesis. Just before the vote was taken in com- mittee, that last day, Chris Dunker, whom Joost had confidently counted upon be- cause of assurances in private conversa- tions, left the room. Only four, therefore, remained to vote. Of these Supervisors Spreckels and Morgenstern voted in favor and Hughes and Benjamin voted against. This left the matier a tie. There could be no report, for there was no majority. Joost afterward expressed himself as very much surprised at Hughes voting against him, for, to use his own language: “‘At the meeting preceding Hughes declared himself emphatically in my favor, saying, ‘Joost is all right,” and then turning and nudging me In the ribs he said, ‘Send me some printing’—he is in the printing busi- ness, you know. Well, 1 haven’t had any printing to send him since then; but 1 shouldn’t think that would cause him to change completely round against me—for, of course, I will send him some printing.” That was all a matter of a few days ago. Yesterday two petitions were presented before the Board .of Supervisors by the Market-street Railway Company asking for an extension of their franchise over ex- actly these lines—Sunnyside avenue and the ocean road to the ocean—for which Joost and the San Mateo Railway Com- pany have been arguing and pleading for these many months. They were supported by petitions of property-owners. Joost, with a notion that something might appear in the report of the Street Committee concerning the split on the subject, was present yesterday, this time re-enforced by a new lawyer, Van Duzen. Mullaney bad been discarded, not for lack of appreciation of his ability and the mel- liffuous shading of his wonderfal periods, put because he was a Democrat, and noth- more. n the depths of his wonder at his own poor progress and the constant casting about for some reason for it—or rather in an effort to grasp all the reasons—it had occurred to Joost that perhaps Mullaney’s olitics had something to do with it. So ge went and hired a Republican—Van Duzen—and with him and his old line of supporters and opposite to them the little army of the opposition, all the well- known faces, sat throughout the entire afternoon’s session. kt But no reference was made to his peti- ion in the Street Committee’s report for the reason stated, and no opportunity, therefore, was given them to be heard. But when the petition of the Market- street Railway Company was read it struck the Joost camp like the sudden bursting of one of their big guns in their own trenches. While it did not actually create a panic, they realized that the fight which they thought was almost at an end had only now begun. The petitions were referred to the Street Committee.

GOODWIN'S SERMON. | Grand. Army Men Listen to a Patriotic Discourse at the California-Street M. E. Church. In response to a special invitation large delegations from all the Grand -Army, posts assembled at the Califarnia-street} Methodist Episcopal Church Sunday even- ing to listen to the patriotic discourse of Rev. Dr. Goodwin, The pulpit and chan- | cel of the church were beautifully decor- ated with flowers, bunting and flags. The | musical selections by the choir were of a patriotic character, inclnding the “Sword of Bunker Hill” and the ‘‘Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Rev. Dr. Goodwin was at his best, and, inspired by his surroundings, delivered a most powerful and_eloquent discourse, his theme being the ‘‘Hand of Divine Provi- dence in American History.” He tracea briefly the leading events from the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers and the Revolution- ary struggle down to the termination of the Civil War. The reverend gentleman paid a tender tribute to the patriotic women of the war period, who, he said, endured more phys- ical suffering, mental anguish and heart- aches than even the men at the front. The future safety of the Republic, he be- lieved, depended upon the righteousness of the people, its foundations being the church and the Sabbath-school. The patriotic utterances of the preacher moved the old ‘soldiers deeply, many of whom could not refrain from tears and subdued applause. DR.
