A frightful accident occurred this morn
ing about 7 o'ensk at Schneider's brewer,
on 1'enii street, from tlie effects of which
Martin KtncMtr will ce taiuh lose his l'fe.
Kenchler is anight watchman at the
brewer, and was J 11-t about to start home
aftir his night's wo.k when the accident
happened In the brevveij there is
V r.OI.MOl.s Till
in which shavings aie soaked with boP'ng
witer The tub is tilled with water, wh.ch
is then heated b passing stiaiu into i; di
rect from the boiler. Th's inoi.i-
iug tlie steam, winch is passed
into the water through a sett.-c
pipe and Is contr. lied b a stop . ick. was
turned on at tl e usual time and the water
hitd to the bailing point The slop cock.
by which the steam Is tiM.ied on or off, as
ma be de-irtd, is immediatel) over the
tub Kenchler weut to the tub, and finding
the water hot enough. stepped oj a boaid
laid acoss the top of the tub. i cached up
ward to the stoi cock t cut oft the steam.
Tlie board on which he was standing was
wet, and he slipped and
l,.l f.tO 1 - t'lIOM,
into the boiling water. He was completel
submerged for an instant, but he soon
raised his head above the surface of the
simmering wate'. He grasped the side of
the tub and, with a might effort, dragged
himself out. Ills cries soon brought to his
relief other workmen In the estab
lishment who did all the possibl
could for lil.n He had on
heavy woolen underclothes and h s eut're
bod was, in effect, wiappeJ in scalding
cloths. even after he had clambered from
tlie tub Willi" his fellow wo.kmen were
caring for him a message had b-en sent for
l)r A. and C. W. Uunlap. and they came
in baste. Before their arriral, howeer.
the men had removed lienehler's under
shirt, and in doing so the had stripped
great
slll.Hls Ot skin tl MtslI
from his anus and upper part of his bud.
The poor fellow was suffering horrib'e
agon and the phsicians hastened to do
all in their power to alleviate his pain
His pantaloons were removed with
gieit care, so that the skin
was not taken from his lower
luabs. He presented a sickening sight,
however. His bod was a solid blister
from heat to heels, and parts of tlie tlesh
had actuall been cooked. The physi
cians attended to his injeties itiickl, but
careful!, and had him con
veyed at once to his home
Xo 172 east Columbia street. Dr. A Dun
Iip stated to a ISlim HI lc representative
this moniing that Mr. KencMer wa m an
exceedingly .
KKNOEUOls CONDITION',
and that there was scarce! a possibiiit of
hisrecoer. So much of the skin sur
face had been destroyed that the very
imtortant functions of the skin
were undone and the probabilit , therefore,
wa that the patient would not recoer.
Mr. Kenchler is tlurt -two ears old and
has a w if e and one child. He is a brother
of Mr. Charles Kenchler, the baker, and a

The reorganization of the Indianapolis.

thought, would have been completed b

runs. The purchasing committee of the
road expect that a prompt and better
method of reorganization (which has been
successfell adopted in other cases) would
not have co isumed more than n'net das
after the committee obtained title, but the

long step in advance on Sunda b the la

the second churih w as established and soon
became a prosperous organization. For
neirl a ear the establlshinent of a third
church has ln-en considered and the idea
has recently come to full maturity.
The laying of the corner stone of the
Third Evangelical Lutheran church took
p'ace Sunday afternoon, beginning at 4
o'clock. Thediy opened with a light rain
falling, but during the afternoon it cleared
up some. Just M fore and during the time
most of the exercises were going on, it
rained some. Xevertheless COO or S00 peo
ple were gathered at the jtlinest corner
of Center and Liberty streets to witness
the ceremonies of the corner stone lav
ing. T he masons had not progressed as
well as wis expected, but the corner next
the intersection of the streets had been
built up so as to relive, tlie cornerstone.
This stone was lox 17'jJ4 inches and was
the gift of Mes$r rish.tCrisL It was
laid with its brndest face towards Center
-treet. On ihe LUWty street face was cut
the .' te "18S7. The stone is suitable for
use again in a more permanent building, in
vv Inch case the new date can be cut on the
Center stieet side.
Thev.nerable IVcrSchindlerhad charge
of the singing. In which he was assisted by
the ch.urof tli Seio id church. Miss Orrie

the abolition of human slavery from the
pulpit of the First Baptist church of Pitts
burg, w hich church henrganized fifty ears
ago, and from which he will be buried Sun

an effective engineer on the underground
railroad Mr. imam was one of the or
ganize! s of t he Excise league and prohibition
party in King's count, and had voted a
s-'Pirate prohibition ticket for sixteen

Almost the last words of the deceased
were that tlie only things that seemed of
any account in the retrospect was what he
had done for the elevation ot humanity and
the advancement of the race. It was his
desire that no outward signs of mourning
be displayed for him.

sermon was very much enjoyed list night
by those who heard him. Following is his
sermon:
Theme The Coming kftunom
Text "Thy hlndmn mine 'Math 6 10
This world is not only the scene of smug
gle for empire, and the areni of conflicting
ideas, but It is tlie scene ot a greit conflict
In the realm of the moral ami spiritual.
Here the solution of the problems will be
reached, and the battles fought, which will
settle the superiority of truth over error,
righteousness over unrikhteoisness, and
vn tue over vice, not only for this world,
but for all worlds; not only for time, but
eternity. Thu divine agency employed in
this work is coiup.hended in the "text.
Consider
I. The Kingdom of God.
What I i'.' 't is not temuoril: it is nt
visible, and like the 1 liigiloms of this
world having territorial limitations. It is
not this world," "it is not meat and
drir'-," gratifying human senses, but it is
spu jal, invisible and etei.ia! As to its
Ioca. on, it Is "within you, at to its na
tare, it is "righteousness, peace and joy
in the Holy Ghost "
Klghteousness " beciiisn it leads to
right doing; it is "(Mice." because in this
Kingdom there is pirdou, it is "joy in the
Holy Ghost," teciu the third person in
the Trinity gives assurance of salvation,
and in this salvation there is great fo and
rejoicing.
Dr. A. Clark wisely aid of the Kingdom
of God' "It is the dispensation ot Intitule
mercy and manifestation of eterml truth
by Jesus Christ; producing the truj knowl
edge of God. accompmied b that worship
which is pure and ho! "
Belrg a Kingdom It his a Mug the
Lord Jesus Christ: it his liws, th precepts
of the gospel; it has subjects, all true be-
lieveis. Here let me emphasize one
thought: Jesus Christ neter saved a sonl he
did not govern. Obedience is the end of all
true religion.
Ke'igion has its embodiment in the love
of God, and the Lord siyetli: "If e love
me, keep my commandments."
Sin originated in disobedience to God's
law. Salvation reaches its highest con
summation here when men are brought back
to heart loyalty to Go.1, md hearty, unfal
tering obedience to His laws.
The "Kingdom of GoJ" is a kingdom of
law. and in harmony with this it was typi
fied by tlie old Jewish Theoe.acy.
It baa a visible manifestation in themlli
tant church. John the Baptist iltdar-M to
the Jews that it was at hind. The Lord
himself made the same announcement and
commanded his disciples to preach the same
doctrine. On the day of Pentecost it came
with great ower and glory.
We need not go out of this world to tind
the Kingdom ot God, it has come to us. It
is not the kingdom of the dead, but the liv
ing. There are no dead people In this king
dom; no funeral eori.gs, and no grave-
o.u-, uu. ucio is me aim mc iorevcr ,
wore.
Itcomestomeiiquietl, nobmlj knows
how, for "the Kingdom of God comes not
with observation " "The wind bloweth
where it Iisteth; thou hearest the sound '
thereof but canst not tell whence it Cometh
or whither it goeth-so is ever one that is
norn oi tne spirit, xo man his ever
crossed the threshhold of this Kingdom but
Dy tils spiritual birth
It does not come outside of jou. for be
hold, "the Kingdom of God Is within ou,'
and being within you it is mide unto you a
personal inheritance something to be con
sciously felt and enjoy e.1
It is spoken of as the King loin of Grace
and the Kingdom of Heiven The former
is now and here, the litter is hereafter in
Heaven. Theditfeience is not m the na
ture but in the degree of its uufolJing and
fiery
II. The kingdom of Gol is aggressive.
It is a living, vital fcrce, therefore, it is
neither silent nor inactive. It differs from
all other ktngdo lis : Its stre.igth and aggres
sive force is not in fleets, fortresses or
armies; it ha been projected into the
world of conscience and thought; it great
aggressive forces are motives, truth and
righteousness, its greatest bittlcs are fought
on the plains of the huma.i soul, not with
swords of Damasc.is steel, but with the
sword of truth, even the "word which pro
ceedch out of the mouth of God."
The kingdoms that gain their couquets
with the sword that sheds huiivn blojd
will ultimately perish, for it is vvntt.n,
"They that take the sword sha'l (ns!i by
the sword," but the kingdom tint Is founded
in love and righteousness wins its domiuion
by ths power of truth sha'l be eternal

Spirit upon human soul, a id the adminis

Thomas Watson wrote "N'jtlung stirs in
the world but God hith a hand in it. He
sets every wheel a-workiug He tiumb'e
the proud, and raiseth up the poor out of
the dust, to set them among princes The
kingdom nf God's providence rnleth over
all: kings do nothing b it what Ills provi
dence orders or permits "
Id addition, God uses mm instrumental
ities the great visib'e agencies for the ex
tension of His kingdom are embodied in
the church. The gospel, a living ministry,
means of grace, missionary societies (for
eign aud domestic) Freednisn's aid, church

tra"t society, Bible societ, and genera!
publishing Interests: these are organized
agencies If ou s.udy them, jou will sue
that they cover, substanti illy, all the ground
of Christian work. Each believer can do
far better work for God to operate through
these organizations than to stand out and
work alone.
The Kingdom of God, panting with Its
aggreaiive power, is pushing out ilong nil
these lines into opening opjiortunities of
individual, social and national life, where
constantly new trophies are won and mul
tiplied into great conquests for God.
Ill The Kingdom of God Is triumphant.
The text is a prayer divinely commanded.
Will It not be answered.'
The coming ot the kingdom, its prevail
ing among men and in the nations, these
are its victories and its triumphs.
Largely the foundation of these triumph
is in Christian thought, prayc and faith
these are mightier than arjaies aud nav tes.
and by them this kingdom shall win Itsway
to dominion by shady marches, until at
last it .hall sway Us scepter of light over
all the earth.
That prayer Is mightiest which holds the
largest embodiment of truth, aud is cer
tain to win Its wav to empire.
The Kingdom nf God is the embodiment,
the incarnation of all truth, and Is without
admixture of error.
It infolds to men the subllmest thoughts,
and the profoundest truths that ever pene
trated human understanding, and furnishes
the subllmest and most powerful motives to
control human action.
It is organized for victory, and its ulti
mate triumph is but a question ot time.
Nations march beneath the clouds and

Take the profoandest thoughts of philos

Infidelity is forever talking of the feeble

is the mm. the organization, or the power
that will say: "I will blot Christ out of
human thought." Christ is here, and be

How thevico'ies multiply!
In conclusion, it is my humble thought,
thit all forces of evil are concentritrd in
this world, and are embodied in the king
dom of darkness. In this rhelm Satin is
king. Vast as is the power of this king
dom. Its power and resources are finite
v gainst It are unrtlaled the armies of
heaven, which liave been mobilized in the
kingioni of God. The resources aud power
of this kingdom can lie measured only by
the inbnite and the eternal.
The battle between these great forces is
on. lh" conflict goes on day by diy the
end is coming, and when it is reached, then
will appear the stupendous results.
The superiority of truth overpowers, and
r ghtrousness over unrighteousness will be
established fore e every arm of rebellion
against Gods moral government paralyzed.
jhm and death will have pel shed, and the
government of heiven will he estatmsnel
in peace that will never be disturbed by the
hand of tnngression in all the ages to
come,
This is the final victory,
In working out these great problems Go.1

honor: v hat unspeakable Liury :
And now it is the order of providence
tint our pathways diverge. I bid you good
bye, and may (".oil grant that at last, when
the bittles of life are all fought, these
pathways may converge and meet again at
tlie peirly gates of "the city tint hath
