John Markus, or the Eighth Ward, Ke celvee a Ball In the Back. About eight o’clock last evening a seri ous shooting affray occurred on Boggs ron, mat below the Ohio conaty line, which re sulted in John Markas, of No. 4235 Wood street, receiving a bad wound. A lot of Polish miners and mill men procured a quantity of beer and stronger drink, and congregating in the vicinity of the coal tipple, just this side of the run, they imbibed until they worked them selves np into a very hilarious condition. A number of misunderstandings was the result, and a good deal of a racket was raised during the early evening horns. About - o’clock another row broke out and things began to be lively. Jast how it happened could not be ascertained, be cause of the terrible jargon spoken by many of those present, bnt in the midst of the melee Michael Sonnefelt drew a revol ver and shot John Markas, aged 17, just under the right collar bone. The ball was from a .38 calibre revolver, and the result ing wound was a bad one. The boy was taken to his home and Dr. Pipes called. The ball was probed for, but the physician was unable to hud it. It coaid Eot be deSnirely stated last night, how serious the wound was. Newsol the shooting was sent to i>en wood, and Marshal Seabright, of that town, came np and arrested Bonnefelt, tak ing him to Kenwood, where he was locked np to await an examination. Tne shooting created a good deal of ex citement in the lower end of the Eighth ward, when it became known. I am of the opinion 3. S. S should stand at the head of the list of blood remedies. I arrived at this conclusion from the testi mony of scores ot persons who have told me of the good results from its use. I have been selling S. S. S. for years, and it has won a large sale. C. A.

Ti tV Editor ot the RtguUr: 1 am informed that unite a nnmber ot pereous have places in Ohio county which they wish to sell to the State tor Reform School n*e. It is hinted that a preference seems to be entertained for the Kimberly place, near Mt. de Chautal. I i now that the authorities ot that school, (he meters in charge and m*ny influential Catholics deprecate the locating ot any such reform establishment so near iheer great academy. There is no good reason why they views should not be respected, and 1 bei'eve the Commission will give the matter dnecon sideration. A Cm/55.

"THREAT CROWD OATH8KBI) AT TUB MOUND3V1I.LB CAMP GBOUNDS, YB3TBBDAY. The Serv;' es Doring the Diy Well Attended—A Powerful Sermon by B; hop Joyce at the Morning Service. The attendance on the campground yes terday—the last day of the meeting—was larger by a considerable percentage than on the previous Sunday. There was a slight falling ofl' in the attendance from the surrounding country, bnt this was much more than compensated for by the increased crowds broogbt on the railroads. The order maintained waa excellent. The early morning meeting was led by Dr. Hitler, and far exceeded in earnestness anything yet heard on the gronnds. The number of persons who had been in the Master’s service over forty years was somewhat remarkable, and the general hand shading and testimonies following were of the most interesting character. Judge Woods, of I'hilippi, was a prominent fignre in the meeting. Mrs. Kllitritz, of Wheeling, the first convert of the camp gronnds, forty-three years ago, gave her experience. It was a good meeting, and in many respects its ei|nal has not been seen on the grounds. Bishop Joyce preached a powerful sermon. He said he had come here ten days ago with tbs intention of leaving in a few days, bnt he had been induced to re main the whole time. There are farmers here who have come ten or fifteen miles to this service. A man, who cornea that dis tance to church, comes to hear. This is the last sermon I will preach, my seventh sermon here. I came a stranger to every body and have bteu cordially received and have a hearty appreciation of your kind ness. And I wish to thank yonr reporters for the way they have treated me in re porting my sermons. God can make a newspaper report of a sermon some good to ihe poor heart that cannot go to the services, and may be that something said by you, repeated after the things we have said, may carry some good to the troubled heart. God bless yon all, and God bless the reporters and newspapers. He selected for his topic, “Obeying or ders and reaching results,” from the text, Lnke v:4: “New when he had left speak ing he said unto Simon: haunch ont into the deep and let down yonr nets for a draught.” He said: It is not an easy thing to ex plain how it is that words so wonderfully mdaeuce minds, nor is it an ea-y task to explain how it is that one mind under cer tain circumstances can influence another mind. A rumor had been abroad that there was a stranger among the people aud said things that to other man had said, did not look and act like other meD, and he began to be listened to by men Humors of His wonderful act spread abroad now He is down by the Lakeot Genesareth and an immense crowd gathered around Him. He is only a plain man bnt when He talks the mercy of God and the people hunger after righteousness. He says the word of God is a book of so many words of such and snch import. The word is not a volniun, it is a system, not phraeeology, bnt ideas. Men are only agents to read to men what God wants them to understand, l’rinc'ples are the things that educate the mind, the forces that aflftci the mind and conscience, bnt yon can’t see them. Words are enps for ideas, and God puts ideas into the words. I take the ideas or the subetauce of them from my brain. God does the best he can with the material He has on hand. If God conld get a generation of followers ready to start at His word He conld do wonders I think God does exceedingly well when I consider the kind of men He haa to work with, i know as much hnman nature as the averse man, oat 1 uon t oeueve oiw oat of all this great audience would go heart and eoul to work lor Christ. When God wanted a nun lor a great movement among the Germans He got Martin Luther and headed and poshed him out with the great doctrine and crowded him to the front, little by little till soon the Christian world stood beside Him. When God gets the generation up beside of that man, it the man is ready for another forward move ment He puts him on. If he is not ready God pushes some one else. Ood does not educate man in moods, tears and excite ment. Yon and I have apolagies tc make to-day tor the in stakes we made yesterday. When God cnce educates it is done for Him. Principles don’t grow. God makes them. Many men aie deceiving them selves with this, that their opinions settle things. A principle is a great force, it is a great governing power. I can go into the market and buy old opinions at i'25 per carload, but no one cates for them. Opinions may fit a boy, bnt it takes principle to cover the broad shoulders of a marching race. Now the principles of this book are those that God has employed to move the great mass of mind forward. Men have horned this book and scattered it? ideas to the winds oi heaven, but its ideas remain. There is now a building in this country where this bible is printed in 200 dialects, and its ideas spread around over the world. God’s Son was a preacher. What a marvellous preacher He was—one who never turns me away. When I look into the face of this marvellous preacher whose words have come down thrpngh the ages for nineteen hundred years, i leei my inability to stand before an audience like this. 1 have au idea that Christ was the most command ing man in appearance that ever walked on ths face ot the earth. Tiitre waa more in the way He moved among men. I have a great admiration for raf n. I have seen some men, the mo ment I saw them and knew them, I felt like taking od my hat to them bnt I have ntv“r seen a nun yet that had not some tirg'of sin in bis blood: he is Effected in soma way with this awinl shadow that hangs over t'ua human race of the fall of the first man made. Christ otands before men without a tinge. He is aa clear as the morning sunlight. There is something in the tone of a man s voice. Po yon know that tee way a man taias is a revela tion the way we say a thing; the way we do a thing, is a revelation of what we are. Yea know the parable of the hundred sheep, with the one that waa lost, but the man did not whip and kick the lost one back to the fold. (Jod don’t force men into the kingdom oi heaven, bnt carries him gently iu His arms of love. Human nature is the same, whether be hind a leather apron or under a crown, whether it poshes a plane or handles a sword. When I see a man staggering along the street I say, thero goes J. W. Joyce, bat for the grace of God when you want to understand bnman nature look into yonr own heart aud von will tied its possibilities. I have often thought that was a queer kind of a pulpit I have often wondered if 8imon built or bought that boat. He conld do almost anything. He conld even do a good job of backsliding, bat when he got wrpDg he was a splendid hand in repenting. There are some preach ers that think they are fitted for great things. 1 know 3 preacher not forty miles from here that has been been tanging on to a bishop for four years to get a pif.ee tonal to his abilities. Place n^ver makes a man. tb? pian the place. It is not where you are that measuresyoar power. It is not piece but the mac Yonder was Jerasalom with its wealth and splendor, its Uuiple aud robed priests, bat Christ prefer* this humble plage and a fisherman's boat for His pulpit. Bnt hero comes tbe crowd, for He fed them the words of eternal life. No man can do something until he is something. Doc trine is the spinal column of Christianity and to tonch it is to handle the doctrines of Christianity. There is not a human be ing from land to land, from age to age, the bicod jof Christ will not cleanse. At the close he asked the Christian people to arise and fnlly 1,200 of the im-! mense crowd arose ss one man professing themselves possessed of some Christian faith. The children's service at 1:SO, being th? las* attiacted much attention. About forty-five children were baptized at its close. Dr. Cushing preached at 3 p. m., to a largo congregation, from Jer. 13 23: “Can an Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots ? Then may ye also do gowi that are accnstomed to do evil,’’ taking for hi* theme: Hahitntl sinning, its const yuences. Can the black man change his color? Yon all say no. Cau the iecptrd change hie skin ? Yon say no And Jere miah says that it is as impossible U r one who lives persistently accustomed to do evil to learn to do well. The emphasis is on the word accnstomed to do evil year after year. We are agreed that no adnlt person who is accountable will ever be saved without conversion. And no man ever repents till by some means convinced that sin is wrong; and men in time become so accnstomed to their sins you can’t con vince them are wrong. Men fo hardened in their sins yon may as well talk to blocks of wood. They will laugh at von. The human mind is a wonderful thing, and we know hat little; bat there are some laws that are established, and one is that it will go in the channels in which it is familiar. This is true in whatever direc tion it may tarn, and especially so in the paths of sin it follows onconscionsly. And there is another thought: When a man gets to be old it is difficult for him to turn in a new direction. The indeliblo im pression made by its teachings most re main forever. What is that mystermnB faculty in oar natures by which onr ac t oas perpetuate themselves, whether good or bad? Whenever you do an act, yoa are more likely to do it again, aud the longer you continue the more likely yon will be to repeat it over and over again. This is true of swearing, drinking, or any other evil habit. Every time yon repeat an net, it strengthens yon in the direction ot doing that very thing. The devil’sp >1 icy is to have you put off the offers of mercy until he has yon safely in his meshes. The forces cf nature in this world are an downward. When we throw a thing np it comes down always. My f iends, yon may die drifting to a peril, bat there is an undertow of grace. Htrike out for it and it will carry you into an ark of safety. I leave these germs of thought with you hoping they may carry you to eternal sal vation. At the close cf the service a communion service was held by the Bishop and several ministers and over three hundred persons joined in the communion. This was the most deeply impressive service of the day. The night session attracted the largest audience o! any meet'ng/luiing the season. As a preliminary Bishop Joyce came to the front of the platform and made an earnest little address to the immense and: ence. Among other things, he said:— "I waut to start by saying I am in favor of the ChnrcU using every instrumentality God finds worthy ot being used. I am in tavot ot the old ship /.’on carrying every gun she can, and in favor of using those gnna all they can bear. The devil nsee every man, woman, child, newspaper and everything of the rort to carry on hie can°e. I am in favor of capturing every good thing in this world to carry on the war against the devil. “Now, yen will hear it said once in a while that preachers don’t h’lieve in evan gelists. Don’t believe in evangelists, von say! Then yon do not hjlieve iu the New Testament. " That’s not gcod character, nor clean religion—a ecul tilled with love for eonls. They complained against me for letting so many into my pnlpit. I let everything in my pnlpit that coaid tire a cartridge and bring down a sinner to God. “I let Mr. lJarrison, Sam Jones, Sam Small, Mrs. Robinson and others in during my three years at Cincinnati, and during that time l,t>50 people were converted at the altar in Cincinnati. Now, enppose I had pnt on my d'gniiy, stood by and said, ‘I don’t believe in evangelists.’ Some oce may say. ‘If yon get those fel lows hero you will lose yonr grip on the crowd.’ Well, good-bye to grip. When they were there the first night one of the meet intelligent men in my congregation said: ‘I won’t go.’ I said: ‘Stay at bomp.' He went. He came to me and said: ‘I waut 1o go home with yon—stay all night with yon,’ and for three months that roan never missed one service. When Mrs. JCobmson was to come some people tfcunght we were going to- tear np things. I said ‘Tear up roots and all.’ “I was the tirst mau who ever brought Sam Jones and Small north of the Ohio. When I asked Sam to preach, everybody else was afraid of him. He said if they know I was a rebel, they wonld be afraid of me. I said we are peaceable and gentle men np here, and I want yon to come. He was live months under my roof, in the cbnrch. It is a notorious fact that no evangelist every preached any heresy. After sing ng, prayer and a solo by Mr. EatOD, Dr. Hitler preached a powerful sermon from Math, xxvii., 22: “What shall 1 do with this Jesus which is called Christ?” There will bs services this morning at 8 o’clock, which will close the session. Bbown’s Iron Bitters is a specific in all cases of swamn fever, intermittent fever, and malarial of aoy name. Low, marshy ground, stagnant pools of water, decaying vegetable matter, changes of climate while snfTering from general debility, all pro duce malarial. Brown’s Iron Bitters cures all forms.

Mis* l Ule* Akorstrnm at the Uriiiil To Night. Col. Gentber will inaugurate the open ing season of the Grand this evening by introducing the charming vocalist and dancer, Miss L’llie Aken-troro, supported by a strong company of dramatic artists. As this is Mies Akerstrom’s first appear bec3 here, and as she has created a great impression elsewhere, we predict standing room only at the Grand to-night. Col. Genther will also introduce this evening his celebrated orchestra, the li lines fam ily, who are said to be musicians of a high order. The above features are certainly strong enongb lor the opening, ard, in fact, few iranagera can boast ot aa etrong an attraction at the commencement of the season. Mb. J. K.

A Number of Serious Accidents Through the State — The Weekiy Criminal Record—Miscel laneous News Notes. The contract for the constrnction of the Weston and Elk River Railroad, the let ting of which has been noted by the Ke<;isteb, ppocifies that the first ten miles shall be completed by the first of April, 1890; the next five uii'es by the 15‘.h of April, and the remaining distance by the first day of May. The contract for the grading of the remainder of the road from Bnrnsville to Sntton will be let about the 15th of October, and it is to be completed by July the first, 1890. The president of the Ravenswoo3, .Spen cer and Glenville railroad is authority for the statement that if the right of way was ! secured for the road between Hpencer and Ravenswood the contract for building the same would be let in thirty days. Unless the right of way is secured soon no work will be done on the road this fall and it may delay it indefinitely. An order has been received at the Ches apeake and Ohio shops, at Hnntingtou, from headquarters, directing an additional force of mechanics to be employed and the working hoars increased to ten hoars per day, insteod of eight hoars, as heretofore. A 45xG5 feet store house is also ordered to be built at once and the capacity of the shops generally increased. Concerning the new railroad to ba built up the Monongahtla to MorgantowD, the Valley Messenger, of Gilifornia, Pa., says: “Tne McKeesport and Bellevernon rail road is to bs pushed on op the river as fiat as possible. The engineers are now making the snrvey np the river above Belle vernon, aud the road will keep the river hillside until it reaches Redstone creek, when it will go np the river to a point be low Lynn’s mills, where it will pass tbrongb the hill by tnnnel and come in to Kreppa’ bottom at Brownsville. As the tnnnel is to bs bnilt throngh an nn used coal bank extending clear throngh the hill, the work in regard to it will not be very heavy. Leaving Kreops’ bottom the road will run through Bridgeport hill by another tnnnel and strike Bridgeport at Center street, and then keep on np the river bottom. After reaching Ball ran, just above Lock No. 5, our informant says that it has cot been definitely decided whether the road will keep up the river or go up Bull run and on that way to Mor gantown, W. Va. Bare it is, however, says onr informant, who should know what be is talking about, that the road is to be finished on np the river with all possible speed.'1 ueo. w. ij Marsaea, wno is at meneia of the proposed railroad from Koweltburg to I'niontown, Pa., says: “ The road is now surveyed from Bow el sbnrg to within four miles ol Brnceton, a distance of 18 miles, and all through that country the people are donating the right of way. As we come on this Bide of the monntain, however, they begin to ask compensation, and the nearer we get to Uniontown the more exorbitant are their demands. 1 have also had friends at work, as it were, ‘feeling the pulse' of the people of the town, and there does not ap pear to be that readiness to aid the enter prise for which I had hoped. We hope, however, to get them awake to the importance of the mattei soon. At Danbar, a building association has offered ns land fora depot, and other donations can be secured, bnt we don’t want to go to Dunbar. We could come to Fairchance and came down along side the Pennsylva nia's tracks, which we may do if ws can do no better, bnt I like the route which was projected by a citizen of Brnceton.
