Chief Smith m making thing» whiz in the way of palling honmw of ill repute and gambling dew«, and the gay gamholiere had soraethiug to talk about again laut evening, two gambling places having been pulled. Poker rooms have again become wj thick in the city, and they need weeding ont badly. If the police coald get onto the young men who play "spider'' for $2 and $3 a corner, sometimes all Sunday afternoons, they wonld make a hit by taking them in. They need it. The ball was opened at an early hour yesterday morning by two house* of pros titution beiug pulled, and followed y ester lay afternoon by a poker room being raided, and last evening by a similar occ urrence. and taking it all together it made » very good Suuday's work. Tis said >ue halt' the world doesn't know bow the >ther half lives, and this may give one half a slight inkling as to how they spend Sunday, at least. Yesterday afternoou at 3:30 o'clock, Officers Duulap, McXichols and Watson went to the house, 1147 Market street, t>\er Mrs. Miller's saloon, und gaiuing au entrance they found a lively little poker same in progress. The officers "called" the crowd, and Charles Miller, the proprie tor, Chris. McOarel, John Jones, Samuel Davis, John Bives, W. L. Golden, and George Gordon responded. The crowd "put up," and were allowed to go their «everal ways. ^.At halt-past nine last nignt me omctu* time jM*h**r important raid.

ThV'ÇS^u is ruu by Mike Carpenter, and has beeu a resort for anywhere from balf-a-dozen to a dozen young men, poker being the chief attraction. Yeaterdav Officers Lukens, Mu/Iett ami Desmond were detailed to raid the boat, and they executed their orders in tine style, secur ing l'arpenter, the proprietor, and six young nieu. Five of the party put up for their appearance, and the remaining two were locked up. The names of the young nieu are: Dick Turuer, George Iilamider, Edward Brush, James Gosney, Larry Me li rail and Kd Cutis. This makes a total of thirty-eight cases for this morning's court. It is worth uoting down iu this connection, as show ing the tine aesthetic taste« of some of our young men, that the five youths fouud in Celia Williams' house of prostitution were all white, aud two or three are the scions ot tamilies away up iu social circles.

The Arrests Oaue a Great Sensation—General News from the Interior of the State. Parkersburg has been greatly disturbed for more than a week over the mysterious disappearance of Richard Miller, a well kuown merchant of Lubec. His last ap pearance in public was on Wednesday of last week, when he was seen by a nnmoer of persons in the city. There are some who say they saw him as late as Friday, bnt it is thought that they are mistaken as to the day. On Wednesday he was hardly in a condition to take care of himself, and was last seen making hid way toward some disreputable establishments down the alley lielow the Second national l>ank. There are a half dozeu houses of prostitution in that neighborhood, and they are of the most degraded character. It may lie set down as a fact that a man's life isn't any too sate dowu that way, especially if it be thought that he carried any money vsitb him. Miller always had a good sum by him, and on this day was thought to have anywhere from $50 to $100, perhaps more. After his disappearance an investigation was begun, which resulted in finding his over coat in the McAtec house, said to !*■ a tough place. Everything else is surmise and gness work. Emma Spencer, Mary Mc Atee and Luch Berry were arrested Thurs day on snspicion that they were irnpli- ! cated in some way in the disappearance of Miller, and Friday morning they were brought out for examination. After quite a squabble between the counsel, the case was adjourned nntil Monday morning at 10 o'clock, and the prisouers were re manded to jail. There is a great variety of opinion concerning Miller, some ot the officers being of the opinion that he was not murdered and that he has gone away. Others, however, think there is no doubt of his having been murdered. It is quite probable that the iuvestigatiou uu Monday will develop something of importance.

On Monday, February 21, Mr. Samnel Shaw, the WestGraflon butcher and baker, started a man by the name of Shaw ont in the back counties to bny some beef cattle, giving him about $500. He has not pince been heard from, and it is supposed he has left for parts unknown or been foully dealt with. A few days ago the dwelling house of A. J. Parker, of Jumping Branch, Kaleigh county, was consumed by lire. Mr. Parker lost nearly ail his household and kitchen furniture, including a large supply of pro visions. His loss is estimated at $000. An incendiary is suspected of burning the dwelling. While Luther Brock was attempting to cross Parker's run. near Rivesville, Marion county, Saturday, he was thrown from his horse in the middle of the stream, the cur rent being very strong there, and he was carried iito deep water and was drowned l»efore assistance could reach him.

The trial is a sensational one and much interest is manifested. Joseph Dufi'uer, of Cleveland, who bought the title for a large tract of land of D. D. T. Farnsworth, was taking deposi tions in Bnckhannon to recover $'21,000, the purchase money paid Farnsworth and others, last week. A number of Keyser boys fixed up nice money boxes and distributed them around, the ostensible purpose being the collection of money to be seut to educate the heathen. The net proceeds the boys spend for candy, etc. The West Virginia Central anil fitts burg Railway Company is preparing to make a preliminary survey for au exten sion of it.s road from Thomas, in Tucker county, to Beverly, in Randolph county.

The George's Creek miners are to be granted an advance to fifty cents per car for digging coal. This is an increase of teu per car. An advance is also ex pected in oUjo* sections.

Oüß REDEEMER THE SECOND LECTURE BY BISHOP KA1N, LAST EVENING. A OoDviDcing Argument of the Dime Origin of Our Blessed Savior—A Large Congregation. Tbe subject«« discussed in flishop Kain's first lecture might be summed up in these few questions: In what state was niau created? ^SVhat were the effects of his fall? What does redemption necessarily imply? The answers to these questions were a preparation for tbe subject of last evening's lecture, which treated of the character and earthly mission of Jesus Christ. Th> purpose of this lecture was to show how Christ is in truth our Re deemer. Tbongh the subject covered an extensive field, each point was succintly set forth, aud so distinctly as to leave uo donht as to the doctrine of the Catholic church on a matter which, of its very na ture, must Ik? of absolut« importance to every professor of Christianity. Christ aud His religion staud or fall together. Whoever professes Christianity must know who its founder is, and what He has done for the human race; and yet there are very many professing Christianity who would hesitate to give correct answers, were they interrogated, in regard to these question«. From the earliest ages there nave oeen neresies wunu »i tacked th# person and natures of the man. God and the effect of His great life-work. Here the Bishop unfolded the true doctrine as enunciated by the life ol Blessed Peter: "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." He who was addressed was one person—the second person of the adorable trinity; butin that one person were two distinct and perfect natures—the nature ol man, composed of a human body and » human soul, the true child ol the Virgin Mary, and the nature of God, cousub>tautial to the Eternal Father, and equal to Him in all His divine perfections. The Bishop pointed out iu forcible lan guage the inconsistency of those who houor Christ as man, aye eveu the holiest and most perfect of meu, and yet deny his Divinity. Over and over again He asserted Hi9 divine nature, and for lliis assertion his enemies threatened to stone Him. "Because that thou beiug a man, makest thyself God." But if he claimed to he God and was not Got! how can He have been the holy and all perfect ' man He is represented? Rather should we conclude with the laws when they threaten«! his life, that il hi' claimed to lie God and was uot God, he was surely guilty of the most horrid blas phemy- His countless miracles are tht seal of His divinity, lie is God as well as man. As the man-God, how has He redeemed us? By freely offering up His life for us in sacritice upon the cross. His sacrifice was the fulfillment ol the prophecies cm bodipd iu the typical sacrifice of the Old Law. "He bore our sins in his own body." says St. Peter, "upon the tree, that we being dead to sins, should live to justice; by whose stripes we were heal ed/' So, too, speaks St. Paul, writing to Titus: "He gave himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity." Ina word, Christ Jesus offered to His Lteinal Father a true atouemeut for the sins of the whole world; His actions and sufferings, ix»imr those of God, were of infinite value. Truly lia.) He, the slain Lamb, redeemed us to God by His most precious blood. In a few cogent sentences, the Bishop dis posed of the heterodox views which have been advanced against this Scriptural view «if Christ's death aud its atoning effects in behalf of the hu man race. But not only did Christ pay the penalty of our sins, but He offers also to reinstate us iu all onr lost privileges and to restore to us the «ills and graces ol Paradise. He communicates to the re deemed a share iu His own life, as tlie stem communicates sap and vitality to the branch. "I am the life" does He say. Through the application of His divine merits, man is relioru a child ol God and an heir ol heaven. Even the mortal body partakes of new and immortal life. "I will raise him up at the last day." By the grace of his Redeemer, the Christian man is not only accounted holy, but ho becomes holy—a child of <îod —a partaker of the divine nature. Nay, the graces oi redemption outs(rip[M*d those couferml on man in the garden of Para dise, "Where sin hath alionudcd, grace hath superalmunded." The Bishop con cluded by an earnest appeal to his hearers, to ever cherish in their hearts a deep and lively sense of gratitude for the blessings purchased for them and offered to them by their Divine Redeemer. How these blessings are applied to individual souls will be the subject of subsequent lectures. The usual treatment of catarrh is very unsatisfactory, as thousands of despairing patients can testify. Gil this point a trustworthy medical writer says: "Proper local treatment is positively necessary to success, but many, if not most of the rem edies in general use by physicians, afford but temporary benefit. A cure certainly cannot l>e expected from suuffs, powders, douches and washes." Ely's Cream Balm is a remedy which combines the important requisites of quick action, specific curative power, with perfect safety aud pleasant ness to the patient.
