CotUUBUB. O.. Jan. 2.-Thcro bavo been so
many exonerated statements ovor llio poHtlonl i
caucuses held last nlfc-hl preparatory lotheoi
eaiiliatlon of tho Lrirlslaturoand ns to tho In
fluence of tho reult on tlio Senatorial election,
Involving- the political futuro of Mr. Hanna,
that thcro la a sharp demand for tho oxnet fact.
Tho matter of nrcatcst Interest Is tho number of
members present Inst night at the enucus of IJg-
publican members of tho Houso and Ihe reason
' for staying nway on the part of thonlisentecs.
Tho Ilanua men said that fifty-flic members
would bo present. There were fifty-two nnd ft
proxy that could not bo counted In a. ole. Tho
Hanna sldo's nssortlon lacked twoot realiza
tion. Tho Democrats and disgruntled Itepubll
cans said that tho Itopubllcan caucus attend
ance would bo forty-five. Tboy lacked el&ht ot
making irood their word.
Tlicso aro tho cold figures, nnd from what
they seem to Indlcato tho regular Republicans
bclloro thoy will orirunlso the Houso to-morrow, j
They say now that tbey have onototo from an
absentee and that tho other needful vote Is In
light and will bo on band before tho Houso as
sembles for organisation. It Is assc rtcd by tho
Democrats andthclrallles, and denied by tho reg
ular Hepubllcun", thtt tho defeat of Uoxwoll, tho
caucus nomlneo for Spoaker, means tho dofeat
of Hanna. My etrons Impression Is that tho
probable result of tho defeat of Doxwell would
be n Senatorial doadlock, with tho chances In
llanna's favor.
The atrreement of tho Dcmocratlo and dis
gruntled ltopubllcans' steering committees Is
thatMcIClsson, tho Mayor of Cleveland, Is to bo
Vnllod Stales Senatorial candidate for tho short
term and Gov. Dushnell for tho lone term. Tho
probability Is that tho real buslnoes means somo
other than tbo Cleveland Major for tho short
term, and that when ho Is holplces ho will bo
thrown out. Oneof those reports breathed from
the wires just now Is that McLean Is to apnoar
hero on the 8th of January to tako command
and promote futuro chances for himself. I
should think be stands qulto ns good n chanco
to be elected hero as Dushnoll does. His real
scheme, is s'upcosed to bo to promoto chaos In
tbo Republican party, and, with the aid of Fora
ker s friends, arrange for taking possession of
Foralcer's non-U Thoro Is n good deal of per
spective Just now in Ohio politics.
Gov. Uushnoll has mado it confession that ho
is a candldsto for tho Sennto nnd Rites nn Irre
sponsible sort or account of his reasons,' the least
obscure of which ts that ho is tlrod of bosses.
Tbe Uovernor talks ot his inauguration for a
socond term rather drelossl), as Is nnlural in
asmuch as ho proposis to abandon tbo otlico for
which be was chosen nnd is ripping up his party
In seeking another. Thcro is a raging storm
about this. Ilusiness men are refnslne; to sub
scribe tor tho expenses of dot orations and musio
far the Inaugural Ion and the mtlltin refuse to
turn out. The correct thing for tho Uovernor
would bo not to carry on a trado with Iho
short term in the Senate, nut t.iko both short
and long terms and have no Gubernatorial In
auguration. Tho end of bis present term is
Jan. I), and tho Senatorial election will oecur on
Jan. 11. If tho (Iocrnor Is going into tho Sena
torial business bu might Just turn over Iho job
ofUotcrnor now lo tbo Lieutenant-Governor,
and promntii harmony by skipping tho inaugu
ration ns ho has tho obligations to tho orgunlr.a
1 tion Ihnt elected bim. ... .
The defeat of tho Republican organization of
the House la possible, nnd depends upon one
voto und perhaps nn unccrluiiii). It thlscvent
occurs, it will lio frantically claimed as tho
equltulcntot tho defeat of Hnnna, but it will
mean iho beginning of n great tight in which
Suestions will arise oxcltlng tho w nolo country.
Ir. Il.nnn, of toursu. will bo tbo nominee of Iho
k bouuiurinl caucus, ir Die ltcptibllcans organize
I tho House, or ir Mr. Hnunuhnsln tbo caucus a
' majority on joint rallot, ho wins out. If he falls
In both pirticuluis. there Is n break-bone hnttlo
on with tho result clthvrof the election of Hanna
or nuothcr celebrated Senatorial deadlock.
The weakness of tho opposition to Hanna is
i thut its orgnnlrutlo lacks specifications of
' agreement. Tim nicmbera are proroedlug upon

A report became inrrcni to-day that tbo Hon.
George K. Nabb, Chairman of the Republican
Btato Committoc, had tendered to Gov. lluabnelt
his resignation as trustee of tho Kplleptio
Asylum. Judgo N'usli when questioned upon
this subject admitted frankly that this was a
tact, and in reply to an inquiry as to tho cause,
aaid:
" On Friday, I am informed by n most trust
worthy mnn.Uov. llushncllsald that tho Repub
lican State hxocutivo Committee in the recent
campaign did not do a thing to assist bim as a
candidate. In Justice to no associates on that
committee, than whom a moro lovnl set of men
to u party ticket and to a great cause were nover
banded together, at well as to uijself. as tbo
Chairman, I could not do otberwlso than resent
the insult. Again, if Uov. IJushnell really be
lieves that I was disloyal to him ns Chairman,
ho must bo very uneasy as to whether I will
properly perform my duties as an olllcer. I de
sired to relieve his mind of this worry.
"lam also disgusted with tho toiioiict of Gov.
Bushnoll. lleforo tho election. In public speccbos
he pretended that bo desired Mr. Uanna's return
to the United States Senate. Since that time ho
has consorted with tlm enemies of tho Repub
lican party to defcut tho will of tho people. I
look upon this as n square case of obiuining
votes by falso pretences."
Accoiupanjing the resignation Is a letter in
Which Cb tirmnn Nash speaks his mind plainly,
and which will forotcr brenk tho tics of friend
ship which hnvo bound these men together.
Gov. Dushnell is very generally and very severe
ly criticized by Republicans for Ills courso In
this matter.
Gen. C. II. Grosvenor hns define! his views on
tho developments of tho Inst few dya and
makes no hesitation in expressing them pointed

A placard containing tbe words, ''Salvation
Illustrated" hung at the entrance of tho Cal
vary Baptist Church in Sumner a venue And De
catur street, Brooklyn, last evening. TheSun
told lost Tuesday how the pastor of the church,
the Ror. W. E. Needham, has resolved to turn
his nrtistlo ability to account by illustrating his
sermons from time to Uuio w llh crayon sketches.
Last night's effort yras the socond in this line.
Whateror rony bo thought ot the Innotatlon
Which Mr. Needham has Introduced, ho has at
least gained one end for which many nreachsrs
have striren in vain. Ho has succeeded in
bringing out a largo co grcgatlon at an evening
service.
On the platform, about where the pulpit would
naturally bo placed, stood a large easel, on
which hung sheots ot drawing paper, Mr.
Nordbatn did not tako n text.
"Inm going to talk to you to-night about sal
vation," ho said. " Whllo we all join In a hymn
I will draw a picture of a holmut, which will be
my first svmbol for salvation."
Dy the time a hymn had boon sung Ihe pastor
hod drawn a man's head uncased In n Roman
helmet. With tho aid of colored chalk the ruddy
complexion ot Iho warrior nnd tho glittering
steel of the hclmot wore vividly portrayed. A
black mustache gave a ferocious aspect.
"We read in Paul's Kplstle to tho Rphcslans
ot the armor of God," said Mr. Neodbom.
"Thcro Is tho helmot of salvation, tho breast
plate ot righteousness, and tho sword ot the
spirit. Paul compares tbo Roman soldier with
tho soldier of Christ. Iho helmet protects tbo
head, Iho vital part, nnd in tho simo way
does salvation encompass tho soul, tho vital
spot ot tbo Inward being. Many people are
going down under tho battlo-axo blows
and fiery darts ot tho devil because they
have not the helmet ot salvation. In passing
through tho Tower of London I saw a helmet
which hod been cleft and torn by tho blows of
an enemy. The helmet of God cannot bo broken
through. How often wo find men who think
thoy are Inrulnorable to the tomptation of
drink and other evils bnt who go down at tho
last because they lack tho helmets of salvation."
The socond sketch represented a tropical river
rolling between high hills.
"Salvation," sild tho preacher, "may be com
pared with a rolling, refulgent river. Tho
stream rises beyond tho empurpled hills and
flows down to tho soa. Llrlogstono seirched
months nnd yo trs for the source of tbo Nile, but
wo know that tho rher of salvation lions from
tbo word of God and will contlnuo to flow
always."
The chorister sang "There Is Ufa in a look at
thoCruclfloJOne, thorels ltfo at this moment
for tbec," und Mr. Needham drew tbe head of a
joung mint with long blond hair gazing at n
bright star in tbe upper left band corner of the
frame. The star wi a drawn by tbo pastor as n
symbol of guldanco and direction. "JuM as the
mngi of old wero directed by a star." ho snid,
"to no should bo by tho gospel." "Soir-dlrec-tlon
ts a curse; wo need a star to guide us. Let
us fix our eyes on the true star tbe symbol ot
hope, life, and blessing."
Tho last picture wits a ruggod promontory,
ending In a perpondlculnr cliff which Jutted out
Into the sea. The waves wero dashing nt Its
baso nn I sending up clouds of spray. Over tbo
ejgeot tbe cliff hung a rope, and nbout hair
way down Its faco was n nlcbo In the rock. This
scene wis dra n In about thrco minutes, while
tho people stng "Almost Persuaded."
"Saltation lsdelivcrnnce from certain doath,"
said Mr. Neodham. "In the north of Scotland,
where there are steep, rocky cliffB. the men
makn a living by gathering tlm birds' eggs
wblch are found there. They do this by driving
a stnkeorn crowbar Into Iho ground at the top
nnd letting thcmsoWcs down hand overhand
on a ropo attached lo this support. There is
a story ot a young man who went Town and
stopped on n ledga In tho faco of the rllff. Whllo
be was working n breore blow tho ropo from his
grasp nnd out bojond his roach. Nluht was
coming on. and ho must regain tho rono or run
the risk or slipping from bis narrow perch to Ihe
rocks bolow. lie prayed that Ibo wind might
blow tho rope back. Finally It began to
mote nearer, nnd ts it camo almost within
bis grasp he made n leap Into tho nlr. caught It,
and climbed to nafsty. we ore on Iho narrow
ledge of lire. 'Iho ropo of salvation bangs down
within our reich. will jou grasp It nnd be
saved I The night Is tailing ami you must lay
hold ot salvation or be launched forth into an
eternity of dai knesj."
The whole service Instol only forty minutes.
The congrcgutlon seemed pleased. Mr. Need
ham nnnounred thnt a similar picture sermon
would bo given next Sundt).
Mr. Needham. uho was born In Ireland, stud

REVIVAL Of RELIGIOUS ZEAL.
Fnlhrr Dalle's Sermon I'rrrnlorT to the Open
ing r Ihe laulUt SIlMlon.
The Rev. Father Doylo of tbe Paullst Fathers'
Church preached nt high mass )esterday morn
ing on the gaining strength of religious senti
ment In tho clvilizod world, particularly In
America. He took tor his text the story ot St.
Paul's conversion ut the martyrdom of St.
Stephen, and ho said that tbo work which was
instituted that day has never ccase.l to go for
ward wherever tbo a olco of n missionary can bo
ralsol. He contrasted tbo tumultuous ondlng
of tbo last century with Us French resolution

" Already," continued Falbor Doyle, " the
watchers on the hilltops see tho gray streaks of
the religious sunburst about to break on tbo
world. On ovcry hand one sees tho ovUcnccs of
a great revltal of Interest In tbe wondors of
God's word nnd works, nnd tbo spirit of tho
missionary is spreading Itself to tho four corners
of the globe,
" Perhaps there arc somo among my listeners
who do not know that a missionary association,
under tbe guldanco ot the Archbishop of New
York, tbo Archbishop of Philadelphia, and sev
eral priests, Is now at work in certain districts
of the South where even tho elementary doc
trines of Cath llclty aro unknown. Perhaps
some of ou lire unaware or the fact that
tho Idea of non Catholic missions has taken it

James Kecgan, an Iron worker omploycd In
tho construction of the electric surface road on
Twenty-third street, was decapitated yesterday
afternoon whllo at work In tbo subway at
Twent) -third street and Fourth avenue. Be
causoof the reticence ot the streetcar pooplo It
was Impossible to determlno Ihooxact causoof
tho man's death, but tho presumption is that ho
was struck by a plough of ono of tho electric
cars.
Keegan was 24 years old. He came to New
Yor,k two months ago from Ctlltcoon, Sullivan
county. In this Stato. He obtained employment
with Thomas K. Crlmmlns, tho contractor build
ing tho Fourth ntcnuo nnd olhor clcctrlo linos
of ,tbo Metropolitan Street Rallwav Company.
Hlsapoclal work was lo tighten ths nuts' on
bolt,sln thuBUbttays. This work kept htm un
derground practically all day long and was ex
tremely hazardous.
Tap weeks ago Kecgan was assigned to work
-w,ltu James Hauft of 228 Hast Ninety-fifth
street. They went together from placo to place.
Recently they had been employed on tho suction
from Second to Fourth attune.
Yesterday aftornoon at 2 o'clock Korean
went down Into tho subway at Twenty-third
street and Fourth avenue. At this point chaos
exists below ground by reaeon of tbe Intersec
tion with tho cable roaa along Ttvouty-third
street, and also because of tho trolloy
lino now building besldu tbo cable. Tho
subway running north nnd south has not been
completed hero on this account. There Is simply
a big bolo In tho ground filled w 1th a network ot
wires and Iron tubes. Over this thoro hat e beon
laid n lot ot heavj planks to form tbo roadway.
In order to get In tho exeat ntlon It is necossary
to enter a manhclo from abovo and crawl along
throuab the tubes and pipes.
Into this holo went ICccgan to tighten up some
bolts. Hauft remained nboto ground. Pcrhans
flvo minutes after entering Kecgan called to
bis comrado to go to tbo toolbox for their sec
tion, nt Twenty-third street nnd Second menuc,
and got a particular kind of wrench that was
needod for his work. Hauft obeyed. Ho did
not return for fifteen or twont) minutes. Ho
had Ibo wrench with him. Uolng to thu man
hole down which Kecgan had climbed, he stuck
his bead In and calico:
" Are ) ou tberc, Jimmy I"
Thoro wus no nnswer. Hauft called again.
Still there was no answer.
"Godl" said Hitulf, ns bo began crawling
down, "I wonder wiial's tho mnttori"
He was cry much nlanucd, for ho know tho
fierll In which tbey dully worked. Onco down
u ihesutma, hot raw led along tho great holo
bnncntlithc centre ot Iho Intersecting streets.
The tlrst object that t aught his ojclnlho semi
darkmss was tho head or Keegan. Thrco foot
further on lay tbo bo ly mangled and shapeless.
Hauft was sltk with horror. Ho could scarcely
crawl back to the manhole, mid when hu run to
tbe flagmnn ou tho corner ho nits no ghoitly
whlto that tho Itagiiinu ttits frightened, lio
managed lo tell what ho hud been mid l'o leo
mnn McGruuo wus summoned. Tho Loliccmun
called nn itinbuhiiuo Horn Billot no Hospital
and then set lo work, lo icol out tho dls num
bered boil. With tho assistance or some of the
road's other emplojoi s thu corpse was brought
to the surface, nurgcun Null camo on Iho am
bulance. Ho found Loth lega und both arms
broken.
" This Is no case for mc," ho said, nnd ho drovo
away.
Thobodv was cut In n patrol wagon and taken
