•Wherefore comfort one another with >
these words.” ! s<
DK. HAYNES’S SEKMOJT. I 1«
Rev. Dr. L M. Haynes preached the , ▼
funeral sermon. He spoke as follows. tj
-What a comfort it is under the presence j h
n-.der the shadow of which we t]
ire gathered to turn to God and hear Him j fc
moakiug such words of tender consolation j
mo everlasting hcpei words that lift our j e
niuds above the earthly side of thisdispen- < p
nation of Provideuce and giveus a glimpse or
the heavenly realm and of the blessedness |
ipon which the redeemed have entered. We > t
iced such comfort, for, looked at from our ^
mint of view. Provideuce is^ now and ; s
train an insoluble mystery. ‘God’s ways d
*• not our ways.’ We cannot under-! e
jVjii them, perhaps, and could not under- ^
srfcd them if explanations were given, j
HuVau intelligence is as yet too immature ^
to ta*ia in the reach and scope of God's -
plans. We are shut up to faith and faith is c
ttie highest exercise of the spirit of man. e
As solid foundations for faith we have ev- £
idence in these scriptures of the great
facts of a Father’s providence and of a Re
deemer’s grace. These are the two key \
thoughts of the Bible. Divine providence t
is universal. •affliction comes not forth of. 1
the dust, neifhor doth trouble spring out of i
the ground.’ c
“The believer’s sorrows are not acci- i
dents. They are not judgments. They are 1
chastenings permitted in wisdom and kind- 1
ness. The Lord rejoiceth over death as i
well as over life. \ ho to-day in this be- i
reavement we repeat the words. ‘The Lord <
gave and the Lord UAth ta*en away.’ VVe
say the duty of the h\mr is resignation, but j •
Christian resignatianys not mere enforced
submission to the inevitable. It is looking
up into the face of the Vise and loving God
and saying, ‘Father, ThV will be done, lor
Thy will is our well beinV-’
“The other principal foundation for faith
is furnished in the disclosure to sin staiued
men of the redeeming gracd: of
Ol R SAVIOR, JESUS
who hath abcUsh«d and brouJrht. life and j
iiumortalitv to ule Death is rtyg^v-y called
the king of terrors. Classical Vwriters
confessed having had no laaguugyj ade
quate to ex prws the dread with whiten the
majoritv of mjo referred to it. B ifc we
live under thr light of that glorious g^pel
bv which dw .h is abolished not as in\ex
perience bu as a peualty and a benumbing
dread. Ov*.* it in moments of faith we
can slug thr song of lofty triumph, ‘Thanks
be uuto G 4 who givetn us ice vwwr.y t
through cur Lord Jesus Christ-’ B\ the J
grace of tie world’s redeemer sin has been j
atoued fdf aud death has been changed
into a bAtitude. ‘Blessed are the dead
who dieia the Lord.’ .

I "TUB HHART OF HER HUSBAND
did s ijely trust ij#her. Her children rise
up a j -all her blessed, and tne people of
this i »tion bring to-day their token ot grat
itude ' o her memory ciecause she did so
muc in her conspicuous station to furnish
the‘M.mple of American Christian home,
noble and beautiful in its fidelities and fra
grant with the atmosphere of love and faith.
Her highest ambition was to make her
home an idea! one, yet her sympathies and
activities were not confined to tnat realm.
She took her full share in the discharge ;
of the duties of social life, of char-1
ity and of religion. Whatever she!
was in the larger relationship of her latter
years outside of this city, we here remera
oerher as the gonial friend, the hospitable
neigh bur. the faithful and zealous covenant
folic v r of Christ. Sbo had a faith that
show .t3clf not in empty professions but j
in gi vl deeds which she did; in helpful,
iabo as ministrations to the little chil
dren in tho instruction of the Sunday
schc . . in the cause of tho orphans of our
com: rjity and in the various causes of
char aide and missionary work to which
she 1--it a helping hand and warm heart.
She never seemed to tiro in her varied
thou . ful service for the comfort aud
napi uess or others.
“V. i of us who has had the privilege of
know' her, but could bear witness to the
unfa 2 courage, the sunny temperment.
the k.i;diinea» of spirit which she carried
throuc all these years of joy and of sor- 1
row druggie and if triumph; who of us
would not testify to the times when her
word oi example or good cheer have been
as a if.jam of sunshine. She had the su
preme gift of kindly sympathy,
ONE OF GOO’S CHOICEST GIFTS,
srmp:>- v, of which a great author truly!
says that it is ‘the one poor word which in
cludes , ,1 our best insight and our best j
love.’
“I’-nd itved with a rare self-possession and
udgm it she went from us to meet the ex
acting duties of exalted station with a pur
pose to adorn the doctrine of God her Sa
vior in all things. How high were her
ideals of what Staton required. How faith
ful she was in fulfilling those wearing
duties with an unaffected simplicity and
courtesy and hospitality towards all and
everv class who came within reach of her
influence. {
“I imperfectly voice that which you all
know—that which most of you have seen, i
in thus speaking I seek not to exalt human
virtues and excellence, but rather to mag
nify the power a? d grace of that redeemer
to whom sic owed the beauty and strength
and nobleness of lifo by which she has on
riched the annals of American womanhood.
We all r. men her to-e.v, but we caunot j
id wait patiently for Him. God never
3t failed a human heart that did trust
:d wait- May He bring to you a new
‘use of the larger meaning of life help
ig you to.realize that after all in this uni
jrso ‘life is lord of death’; that true love
immortal; that this world is but the ves
buleto a grander realm; that uow you
ive treasure beyond price laid up for you
lere; that ‘earth hath no sorrow that
.eaven cannot heal.’ ”
At the conclusion of tho sermon the ven
:aole Dr. Hyde gave utterance to an im
ressive prayer.
The procession left the church at half
ast 11 o’clock. Along Delaware street

Charleston, W. Va., October 28.—It is

In nearlv every town, large or small, of a
luudred inhabitants or more, in this part of

be citizens witnin the last two or three
weeks to start a tin plate factory.
This scheme is now pretty well under
wood to be worked only for political effect,
the President himself,appears to be one of
he parties interested. An application re
vived by the Secretary of State for a char
er to form a company at Gas City, Ind., to
nake tin plate was enclosed in an envelope
jearing the name of ‘‘Harrison, Miller am.x
Slum Iudianapolis, Ind.” ‘
If this application is for the foundation

For the formation of this company *>00.-;

laid by four Welshmen residing at Llan

FAIRMONT DEMOCRATS
Held a Hi* Demonstration—A Parade
Followed By Addresses By Hon. Wm.
L. Wilson and Senator Faulkner.
Bvtciat It'.tor am to tin Jit outer.
Fairmont, October 28.—This town
witnessed to-night the biggest politics
demonstration in its history. The town
was ablaze with enthusiasm, uhe pa
rade which preceded the meeting was a
magnificent demonstration, over 1,000
people being in line with half a doz.;'n
band3 playing stirring music. Ihe
sidewalks along the line of march were
crowded, and tho clubs were wudly
cheered from thousands of throats. Ihe
W. L. Wilson Tariff Students received
a perfect ovation. They were generally
conceded to be the most handsomely
uniformed and best drilled body that
ever paraded the streets of Fairmont.
Crowds began to pour into the city in
the early afternoon, all the roads run
ning special excursion trains. Ihe train
which brought the Tariff Students car
ried also the Maunington and banning*
ton clubs. Delegations also came
in from Morgantown, Grafton,
Clarksburg, Monongah and other
points. The Tariff Students
marched from tho depot to the head
quarters of the Young Men’s Demo
cratic Club headed by the Opera House
Band. They were escorted to Bryan
& Stidger’e restaurant, where a splen
did supper was served. They were
guests of the Young Men’s Club, and

passed tbo expectations of those haviDg
the arrangements in charge, and it was
handled with difficulty.
The different clubs formed in line In
front of the Court House, and about
8:15 the processlou moved. It was
headed by Marshal J. E. McCoy and
Aides C. VV. Haymond, Zach Robinson
and John H. Hoff, Jr. Then came the
Opera House Baud, of Wheeling,
which won fresh laurels by
Its splendid music. The Wllsou
Tariff Students were accorded the
right of line, followed by the Manning
ton band and the club from that point.
The Mannlngton boys wore an attract
ive Turkish costume. The Morgantown
University students followed, seventy
five strong. The Fairmont band head
ed the Young Men’s Club, of this city.
Then followed several drum corps and
a number of citizens mounted aud on
foot.
Fairmont citizons fairly outdid them
selves In the display of pyrotechnics
during the passage of the parade. The
clubs marched under a continual blaze
of red fire, and rockets aud candles were
sent up In profusion. It was a flatter
ing reception, but one which was
richly deserved. The different or
ganizations were greeted with
Vouts from the men, and clapping of
Hkniis from their lady admirers. After
paading the streets of Fairmont, the
prtyession crossed tho bridge to Pala
tini and were accorded a reception by
the democrats of that town, no less cor
dial tnd eithuslastlc than they received
in Flrmobt. Hon. Win. L. Wilson,
Unitei States Senator C. J. Faulkner,
and Cil. W W. Arnett, of Wheeling,
review'd tin procession from a carriage
on Mainstre>t. Mr. Wilson uncovered
his hoadwhifc the Students passed, and
was give* three hearty cheers.
The mating was held in the Opera
House. Tie building has a seating capac
ity of abott one thousand. Long before
the hour fir opening the meeting every
seat was talen, and hundreds more stood
in the aisles
There were enough people unable to
j craiu admission to the building to make an
overflow meeting several times a* large as
that within tiv Opera House.
Congressman. Wilson was received with
a perfect storm of applause.
His address was a masterful effort.
His convincing arguments and matchless
! oloquenee at times wrought his hearers up
i to a remarkable pitch of enthusiasm. The
McKinley bill and the addresses of the Re
publican statesman (?) whose name is at
tached to that measure were taken up aud
, torn to shreds by his convincing logic.
He addressed himself particularly to the
.armers, who were present in large num
, bers, and showed them the fallacy of Re
publican preteuses, atd the injury to their
interests caused by a nigh protective tariff.
. He told the workingmen that labor is
|ust as well paid in EuroDO as in America
in proportion to its production. Wages
wii. always be higher in this country than
abroad, because of the greater intelligence
oi American labor, improved and better
machinery and better facilities. He spoke
acout an hour and a half, holding his audi
ence spell-bound by pis eloquence, and
uosed amid enthusiastic applause.

THE WESTON ASYLUM ON FIRE.
The Annex for Colored People Hurned
Great Kxcltement, but No One Injured.
Special. Telegram to the Rcguter.
Weston, W. Va., October 28.—Not
for many months has there been so
much excitement in Weston as last
night when the awful alarm of Gre was
sounded from the massive walls of the
West Virginia Hospital for tho Insane.
The very idea of a building So im
mense being subjected to tho ravages
of angry and destructive Games and the
consequent terror and alarm of its thou
sand of unfoatunate, imprisoned in
mates was appalling to the uttermost,
and the contemplated loss of life and
destruction of property that might
ensue unless the burning Games were
subdued In their relentless course aug
mented the intense anxiety of the hour.
Men, women aud children from town
ran across the river to the scone of tho
conflagration, and notwithstanding tho
fact that the malnoulldlng was entirely
free from danger, and that the tiro was
confined In a two-story brick annex, in
which the colored insane were kept, and
the flames had not made so much head
way that It was impossible to got all of
tho patients out, the fright and alarm
w(is aituusv
The patients, all of whom bad retired
for the night, were carried to places of
safety and the concentrated efforts of
the people were directed towards sav
ing the building. In less than one hour
after the fire broke out It was under
control. No lives were lost and not
even a single accident occurred. The
fire, It is supposed, originated from a
gas jet. All damage is covered by in
surance.

Bixe Field, W. Va.. October 28.—Allen
O. Myers, the celebrated wit, made the
most effective speech of his West Virginia
canvass at Blue Field. Kucker, Republi
can candidate for Congress,put him in trim
by assailing his character in his speech yes
terday, declaring that Myers had finished
his education in a Cincinnati jail; that he
was an imposter, low-bred Irishman and
so on.
Myers’ handling of Rucker to-day was so
unmerciful that even the Democrats grew
sorry for him. His arraignment of the
Republican party’s record was the severest
and most striking our people ever heard,
and they went wild with enthusiasm such
as was never witnessed in our city before.
Myers has just left for Concord to speak
to-night. Several hundred people escorted
him to the station, headed by a band of mu
sic and citizens bearing banners.

Indianapolis, ind„ October 28.—It is
learned that the members of the cabinet
held an informal meeting to-night at the

election. The President, it is said, knew
nothing of the meeting.

the prison physician, who says It is
necessary that the prisoner be removed
to a hospital for the purpose of under
going a surgical operation, where he
may te confined for a long time. Tne
prisoner’s general health has failed and
longer confinement may permanently
injure it.

jurors who tried the case. Ilou. J. li.
Pauli, the judge who presided at the
trial; Hon. John A. Howard, who pros
ecuted; Mr. Gibsou Laiub, the cashier
of the bank whose fuuds were embez
zled, and a number of clergymen, phy
sicians and county officers, and by more
than a hundred of the leadiug business
meu of the city of Wneellng.
The Governor also Issued a pardon for
Charles Tlbos, convicted In Harrison
county In May, 1886, for placing ob
structions on a raiiroad trcck and sen
tenced for ten years. Dr. Bruce recom
mends the pardon on the ground of ill
health. The prisoner's release Is also
asked by many citizens and the prose
cuting counsel.

Milwaukee Suffers an Awful Loss By Fire—Hun
dreds of Buildings Burning and Showers o
Sparks and turning Embers Carried For Block;
and Dropped Down to Start New Fires.
Milwaukee. Wis., October 98.—Mil
waukec was swept by tbo most disastrou;
conflagration in its history to-night.
With tho wind blowing a gale of cyclonu
force, the first blaze started in the iiu
inense wholesale oil warehouse. Firemei
were powerless to ytay tho spread of tilt
llaines. To make mailers worse the city
was attacked on all sides almost siuiul
tanoously. The alarms came within fif
teen minutes after the first alarm from tin
oil warehouse, but these were attacks tha
had to be met aud the fire department
which could otherwise nave been coucen
trated on the first fire, was divided througl
different parts of the city.
At one time between 6:30 and 7 the sk;
was lit up by four blazes. Tbo oil, fanuei
by a gale from the northwest, began t
gain on tbe weakened forces of tbe fire de
nartrm.nt. aj'3 de«pl*« *H *»»*■>»
t'r.iicrh un3 CTmseil East.Water stree
and swept into the largest wholesale pain
and oil works in the Northwest.
From that point the Hemes swept build
ings down, it was like a spark tollowini
up a train of powder. A dozen big build
ings were swept away in a twinkling. 'J'h<
blaze, a colurnu of hro nearly a block wide
swept northerly to the Third ward, com
posed mostly ot frames, and right in tin
face of the flames was the big gas bouse o
the Milwaukee Gas Company.
Over 300 frame buildings are a mass o
ruins, the inhabitants literally fleeing fo
their lives and losing everything except ini
tbe clothes they wore and what they couli
grab.
As the Chicago Are was to that city th<
fire to-night was to Milwaukee in all it;
scenes and incidents. During It all a gah
from the northwest carried blazing cinderi
high into tho air and far out into the lake
Had the flro started in the western part o
tho city it would have cut u swath througl
it or leveled the entire city to the ground
The fire started shortly before six o'ciocl
in tbe wholesale liquor house of A. Blades
ton, on the west sice of East Water streel
between Detroit and Buffalo streets. Tb<
wind at the time was blowing fully 6<
miles an hour.
As the fire broke through tho roof thf
hurricane caught, up the brands and.
whirling them across tbe block, fiunp
them full on the seven-story building ol
Bubb& Kipp on the corner of Broadway
and Buffalo streets.
Before tho engines on a third alnrn
could arrive and come into action, the Kipp
building was a mass of flames. This wai
the beginning of tbe end. The sparkf
were caught up by tbe gale and whirled
hither and yon, while tbe firemen, fighting
bravely in the molten shower, found theii
efforts powerless to stay the progress ol
the fiames.
The burned portion comprises tbe wbolfr
sale district, the Northwestern Railroad
yards and gas works. It was also thickly
inhabited by Italians, Poles, Germans and
Irish, most of whom are poor and have lost
everything. The loss will be between
17,000,000 and 10.000,000.
At 11 the fire bad eaten its way down the
east side of East Water street,changing tbe
triangle to a square. Among the firm*
ourned out there were the American Art
Glass Company, Bleidersdorf St Co., Pen no
& Co., and on the west side of tbe street
Dobman St Co. At tbe last named place
Henry Penbroke, fireman, was killed by a

burned at 11 o'clock, and the fire spread to
Guerneko Ac Co.’s candy manufactory on
East Water and Chicago streets
On Broadway south of Chicago, having
met with no resistance the fire progressed
more rapidly and the gas works were soon
burning as was the Hansen malt house.
Capt. Davis of the revenue cutter Johnson
tendered his crew to Chief Foley for use
in fighting the fire.
The Fourth regiment, under onmm&nd of
Colonel King, was called out to assist in
guard duty, as the crowds in the vicin
ity of the burned district numbered thou
sands, and the police force was in need of
assistance. The fire king made no invid
ious distinction. The big trade ware
houses went with the humble home.
The only difference was that be stayed
longer with the former. The territory
burned out is in the space of a slightly ob
tuse triangle, with the apex at Blades Co.’s
on the river, the upper side of Detroit
street, the lower Menominee street to Mil
waukee, and then to the Milwaukee river,
and the base on Lake Micburao. Roughly
it is a space two-thirds of a mile wide and
three-qurrters of a mile long.
Even in the beat of the battle with the
fire it is apparent that the heaviest suffer
ers will be the poor people, woo have been
driven out of their homes. On every hand
are heard accounts of narrow es
where families just got out with tbef

HE THINKS THEY JOEPARDIZE THE
---
Success of the Republican Party
and That is Sufficient Ground
For Anathematizing Them—The
Senator’s Very Bad Break at
Tunnelton—A West Virginia
Burchard.
Hon. A. R. Campbell, formerly a
member of the State Senate, now a res
ident of this city, and a prominent Re
publican politician, seems determined
that the mantle of fame shall rest upon
; his ample shoulders, eveu though he is
! compelled to follow in the foot
' stops of the late lameuted Dr.
Burchard, of New York, whoso
“Rum, Romanism aud Rebellion"
alliteration bas made him famous. Kx
Senator Campbell left off the Rum and
Rebellion part*of the phrase; In fact he
did not attempt to follow Burchard as
an alliteraior, aud he ouly found fault
with Catholics and laborers. He prob
ably hud not time to get his dis
likes worked up Into a catchy
phrase, aud in that he made
an error, for It was Burchard’s
three Rs that made him famous, rather
than the sentiment be expressed,

l'.ut the all-tmportaut point In
i such matters is the sentiment. Sena
tor Campbell has managed to express
even u more far-reaching sentiment of
dislike and aversion than even Dr.

laborers as well, and It I* no less ford*
