the Most Wonderful Words in t!i? Language.
Brooklyn, Jan. 18.?Dr. 'Palmare
preached the following sermon this
morning to an overtiming congregation
in the Academy ot Music, this city. At
night, when The Christian Herald service
was held in the New York Academy
of Music, fully six thousand persons
were massed in the large building.
A marked solemnity pervaded
the assembly, and at its close many
persons m various parts of the house
rose at the invitation of the preacher to
ask for prayers for their salvation. Dr.
Dr. Talmage chose the fol owing texts
for his sermon: ''Come-'' (Gen. vi, hs):
' Come" (Rev. xxii, 17).
Imperial, tender and all persuasive
is this word '"Come." iSIx hundred and
seventy-eight times is it found in the
Scriptures. It stands at the front gate
of the Bible as in my ?r?t text, invitinz
antediluvians into Noah's ark, and it
tands at the other gate of the Bible as
in my second text, inviting the postdiluvians
into the ark ol a Saviour's mercy.
"Come" is only a word of four
letters, but It. is the queen of words, and
u?arly the entire nation of English
vocabulary bows to its scepter. It is
an ocean Into which empty tea thous
and rivers oi meaning, utner wotus
drive, but this beckons.
All moods of feeling hath that word
"Come." Sometimes it weeps and
sometimes it laughs. Sometimes it
prays, sometimes it tempts and sometimes
it destroys. It sounds from the
N^door of church and from the seraglios of
^rrt rmmmr in nm imi',' 1<|M m'im
r gates of heil. It is confluent;ana accrescent
of all power. It is tiie heiress of
most of the past and the almoner oi'
most of the future. "Come!" You may
pronounce it so that all the heavens will
be he-rd in its cadences, or pronounce
it so that all the woes of time and eter- j
nity s^all reverberate in Us one syll:;- I
ble. It is on the lip of saint ami pro- ]
fligate. It is the mightiest of all solicitanfs
either for cood or bad.
"COMES" SOMETIMES W.Ui.
You must remember that in many
cases our "Come" has a mightier
"Come" to conquer before it has any
effect at all. Just give me the accurate
census, the statistics, of how many arc
dosvn in fraud, in drunkenness, in gambling,
in impurity, or in vice of any sort,
and I will give you the accurate census
or statistics of how many have been
slain by the word "Come." "Come,
and click wine glasses with me at this
ivory bar." "Come and sec what we
can win at this gaming table." "Come,
enter with me this doubtful speculation."
"Come with me aud read these iu'idel
tracts on Christianity." "Come with
me to a place of bad amusement."
"Come with me in a gay bout throy^h
underground New York." It' in this
city there are twenty thousand who are
down in moral character, then twenty
thousand fell under the power of the
word "Come."

through the culmination of all tragedies
on Golgotha, can auy one think that
God will not welcomc your coming?
Will a father at vast outlay construct a
mansion for his son, and lay out parks
white with statues, and green with
foliage, and all a-sparkle with fountains,
and then not allow his son to live in
the house or walk in the parks ? Has
God built this house o! Gospel mercy,
and will he then refuse entrance to his
children? Will a government at great
exoense build life savins stations all
along the coast, and boats that can
horcr unhurt like a petrel over the wildest
surge, and then when the lifeboat
has reached the wreck of a ship in the
offing not allow the drowning to seize
the lifeline or take the boat lor the
shore in safety? Shall God provide at
the cost of his only Sou's assassination escape
for a sinking world, and then tnrn

from the breakers?

A r.HATTANOOGA TRAGEDY.
A Druakon Lavrjer Shoots Ills Daughter
a*d Alurtlers Ills Son-in-law.
Chattanooga, January 18.?A horrible
tragedy occurred here to-day. S. M.
Fugett, cashier of the South Chattanooga
Savings Bank, wsis shot and killed
by his father-in-law, Jud^e J. A.
Warder, who is city attorney of Chattanooga.
Judge Warder is shot iu two
places?one ball having penetrated his
breast at the right nippl^n^4jf^f!IerT
. hayinj^ken (^jigjaffeiiiuger of th<? I
usi?
Mrs. Fugett is the anly child of Judso
Warder and she is shot in the right thigh,
a very dangerous wound.
From tho evidence at the coroner's inquest
it appears that jHdge Warder went
home at 1 o'clock in a very drunken condition
and immediately went to Mr. and
Mrs. Fugett's room, where the shooting
j took place as soon as he entered.
I Mr. and Mrs. Fugett lived with Judge
and Mrs. Warder in College street. |
There were seven shots lired by Judge
Warder and two by Fugett. It is said
that Mrs. Fugett was the tirst person
shot and that Fugett then fell dead, shot
through the heart. IIo was found with a
newspaper in oae hand and a pistol,
with two chambers enpty in the other.
Mrs. Fugett was lying over him, with
her arms entwining him, pitcously crying
for some one to save inm. Judge
Warder staggered to a uighbor's house
and is now there in a precarious condition.
Mrs. Fugett is alio unable to speak
and what took place in the room aside
from the shooting is not known. From
the evidence before the coroner's jury it
[ appears that Judge Warder would frequently
go home drunk and abuse his
wife and dsughter, and the women would
appeal tor protection to to Mr. Fugett.
Such trouble occurred late Saturday night
and Fugett quieted his lather-iu-law.
| lir. and Mrs. Fugett had been married
l but two years, have been living happily
j together, and had a lire months-old
1 baby.
Mr. Fugett was a young man, about
30 years of age. popular, successful
business man. Mrs. Fugett is a very
handsome woman.
Judge Warder is one of the best knewn
lawyers in this State. For six years
he was United States district attorney
for the middle district of Tennessee,
having been apptinted by President
- 1 ,1 ,?o1l0r.f
Haves, lie was h uraic nuu saaaut I
Union soldier, and is one of th? most
prominent Republican politicians in the
State. He owns considerable property
and has a large and lucrative practice in
this city. lie is a man of the highest :
culture, and most polished and afiable
manners. His domestic affairs have
al way been supposed to be the happiest. ;
The afi'air created a sr*at sensation .
here and the opinion eeein to be general
that it was the result of a cra^y drunk. :
Tliey Tried It Again. . 1
Miss Elizabeth was a very peculiar
woman. She had a great deal of sense.
Xot that she was different from other '
women in this respect, but she had so .
much of it that it surprised many young ;
men.
One dav voun<z Robinson went to call 1
on her. Young Itobinson was also very .
sensible. * He and Mis? Elizabeth were (]
weli matched. They could talk together J
on any number of subjects, and they
knew just when and where to stop, just 1
what to say and what not to say. On 1
this particular day there was a long '
story in the afternoon papers about a
person known as Jack the Kisser, who J
botheiod many young women and girls
in the streets by catching them and kiss- 1
ingthem.
Miss Elizabeth said that she did not !
think that a girl could be kissed by any
man unless she wanted him to kiss her.
Robinson said that auy man could kiss !
anv womau by brute force. Miss Eliza- 1
beth said that that was all nonsence.
"I'll tell you what we'll do," said
Ilobinson. * You are certain that a man
can not kiss a woman unless she is a
party to the kissing. I am ccrtain that
a man can. We, you and I, will try it."
Miss Elizabeth said that she didn't
see any harm in that, so Robinson bewail
to try and kiss her. After several minutes
and trials lie succeeded, and she,
seeing it was useless to combat with him
further, gave in and let him kiss her all
he wanted to.
When it was all oyer Miss Elizabeth
had an inspiration.
"I'll tell you what we'll do," said J
Miss Elizabeth. "My loot slipped that '
lirae. We'll try it over again."
Agreed to Strap Wives.
Columbus, lud.. .Jan. 19.?A queer
story comes from Williamsburg relative (

The .Seargeani-at-Arms Forcctl to Ot:ell
the Tumult Which at One Time Threatened
to Culmiuate in a Personal Diiliculty.
Washington, January 20.?In the
House to-day, in pursuance of the policy
adopted by the Democrats, Mr.
Jjland, of Missouri, demanded the
reading of the .Journal of yesterday's
proceedings in extenso. The clerk
having concluded the reading, Mr.
Bland made the point that the JourI
- -t t 1 _ . 4. I ~ ~ o rwl J a.
IIMl liitU UUl VCtZU lCcVl la iu 11 auu \a\jrnanded
that the description of the various
executive communications, resolution?,
bills and petitions, which are
referred under the rules and not in
open House, be read.
The speaker directed the clerk to
read this portion of the Journal, which
is ordinarily omitted.
This was by far the largest portion
of the Journal and its reading was not
completed till 1 o'clock. Then ensued
one of the wildest scenes of confusion
that th*; House has seen during the
present Congress.
The Speaker having stated the question
to be on approval of the Journal
and having counted and stated an af
firmatiye vote, .Mr. Mills, rising 10 a
parliamentary question, asked whether
the proper question was not on ordering
the previous question.
This query was based upon the fact
that when the clerk had linished reading
the first part of the Journal, the
portion usually read Mr. McKinley hud
demanded the previous question.
The Speaker, in response to the question,
stated this fact, but said that the
demand had not been renewed after
the reading of the completed .Journal.
Mr. McKinley corororborated the
statement of the Speaker.
i-^Mr. Mills then expressed his wish to
defcrfc L'i ..^Dr.r^V^Pg] the
Journal, but the Speaker 'iccliuecl tc\
recogni/.e him on the ground that the
House was dividing. \
THEN THE SXOIIM-CLOUD BURST.
With excited gestures Mr. Mills p
siroue (lowii me aisie anu,, snaking nia r
list at the .Speaker poured out a vol- \
uine oi denunciation, accusing him of
practicing fraud on the House.
"You are perpetrating a fraud on the
House," he thundered, "and you know,"
and his party colleagues burst into a
round of applause and cheers, and
gathered around their champion.
But the Speaker was immovable and
amiu ine excitement requesteu most;
opposed to approving the Journal to
rise, rhleginatically lie counted "one.
two, three" and announced the motion
carried?97 to 3.
The yeas and nays were demanded
by the .Democrats and ordered, and as
the clerk proceeded to call the roll Mr.
Mills poured out his denunciations.
Again he accused the Sneaker of perpetrating
fraud on the House, and referring
to Mr. Mc Kin ley said: "We
did not expect the gentleman from
Ohio to lend himself "to such a pro- i
ceeding. We relied on the gentleman
irom unio, lor we ueneveu miu au
honorable gentleman, and we knew he,
indicating the Speaker, was not."
AX EXCHANGE OF COMPLIMENTS.
Mr. Perkins,of Kansas, sarcastically:
I -'And he (indicating .Mills) is a gentle|
man."
Mr. Allen, of Mississippi: "'That is
more than can be said of some persons
on the other side."
Then as the clerk went on monotonously
calling the roll, Mr. Mill.-, ignoring
him, proceeded substantially as
follows:
"You do not dare to *o before the
country with such a revolutionary
measure as you are proposing to pass.
We have the right under the rules to
debate the question of approving the
journal ana you ^auuressmg uie oycan.er)
are denying that right." [Democratic
cheers.]
Mr. Kerr, of Iowa: "Such proceedings
as these are treasonable, and they
are headed by a man who helped treason
before."
Mr. Mills: "You are a traitor yourself
to the Constitution and the laws.
You are trying to surround the ballotbox
with bayonets, and to deprive the
people of their right of representation."
1
Then followed enthusiastic Demo
cratic applause, while the Republicans '
crowded to the bar of the House and
announced their disapproval by lusty :
hi.sses.
The House was a regular babel of
voicts, excited, loud, but unintelligible.
_ j
Mr. Uutcheon, of Michigan, stood in .
the centre aisle, and as Mr. Mills went
on repeated with indignation and era- .
phasis one word, ''Bosh."
Mr. Mills's reply to this exclamation '
n?rtr? nnAfhfir rACAlnflAn r?T\
>? dO, anututi itouiutivu v/x

A CALL FOR THE SERGEANT AT ARMS. !
JL3y this time affairs bad approached
so near to personal collision between (
gentlemen on the opposing sides that 1
the Speaker was obliged to"call on the !
sergeant-at-arms tor assistance, and ;
that otlicer, bearing the mace in front <
of him, induced Mr. Mills to take his j
seat, aud the storm passed away for a |
time. . .
The Journal was approved?yeas 144, ^
nays 103?but the mutterings of the
storm were still heard. .
THE DISTRICT BILL. :
Mr. McComas moved that the House '
go in committee 011 the District of Co- 1
iumbia appropriation bill. 1
Mr. Mills inquired whether it would 1
be in order to move that there be one
hour's debate 011 the bill. (
The Speaker replied that it would 1
not, the time tixed l'or general debate t
having expired. 1
Mr. McComas's motion was agreed ?
to?yeas 13lJ, nays 107?and accordingly
the House went into committee of the .
whole on the bill indicated.
In the course of the debate which at- I
C
tended the reading of the parasrrapns =
the elections bill was brought to the J
fore, Mr. Hemphill declaring against '
what he denominated the "arrant
hypocrisy" of the Republican party in
trying to put on some of the people of
the country an unwarranted and ig- c
norant vote, while denying that vote t
to the same class of persons in the Dis- t
trict of Columbia. s
THE NEC.HO AS A TOOT BALL. I
The negro question was brought up t
by Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, who j
quoted many newspaper extracts as to j
tiie treatment of negroes in .Northern .
States. r
The allegation that negroes were *
badly treated in those States was vigorously
contested by Messrs. Ilender- *
son, of Illinois, and Morse, of Massa- '
chusetts. the latter calling attention to *
the fact that the present Administra- I
tion had appointed six hundred and j
eleven colored men to otlicial positions, i
Mr. Spinola, of New York, said that s
"v*-..- * iroo rri VOTI
in iMjiv iuii% l;ic ucgi.u iihj
every right and privelege that white
men enjoyed. lie despised the con- r
teraptible and dirty politician who
tried to use the negro for his own pur- 5
poses. Xew York guaranteed every 1
right to its colored citizens. But when i
Republicans come forward with a force c
bill, saying its purpose was to protect
the negro, it was not true.
LIMITING DEBATE.
Then a discussion arose on a proposition
to close the debate on an important
paiagraph.
Mr. McComas having made a motion
to that effect, Mr. MeCreary, of Ken*.tn
imonfl if. hv limiting
lUVTUi *,V/ uui^nu *v 0 ,
the debate to one hour. The point of
order was raissd against the amend- i
ment on the ground that a motion to t
close the debate was not amendable by J
a motion to limit the debate. t
The participants in the discussion t
were, on the Kepubliaan side, Messrs. t
McComas, Adams of Illinois, and Gros- j
^ M
venor, and on the Democratic side,
Messrs. Blount, McMillin and McCreary.
Mr. Bland rising to discuss the ques
tion, Mr. Jtoutelle created some amusement
by suggesting: that as the Democratic
candidates for the Speakership
had each scored a point, the chairman
should give his ruling. Tending a decision
the committee rose.
The Speaker laid before the House a
request for the return from the Senate
of a bill for the relief of Sarali E. E.
Ferine, an error having occurred in its
enrolment.
Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, objected,
and Mr. Rogers made the'point
that there was no quorum present.
This point being found to be well
taken, the House adjourned.
BLOWN UP BY NATURAL GAS.
Two Girl* Killed, Two Perions Fatally
Injured and a Is'aniber Hurt.
Pittsburg, January 18.?A special
from Findlay, Ohio, says: The first
great disaster Findlay has ever experienced
from the use of natural gas occurred
shortly before 2 o'clock this afternoon
while the guests ol the Hotel Martin
were waiting to be summoned to dinner.
This morning it was discovered that
gas was escaping from a pipe somewhere
into the dining room, and Mr Marvin,
the owner of the building, with three
plumbers, spent the entire forenoon trying
to locate the leak. About 1 o'clock
thej entered a chamber underneath the
(lining room and found such an accumulation
of gas that they could not breathe
and it was suggested that a hole be
sawed through the lloor into the dining
room in order to obtain fresh air. This
was done and just as the hole was made
one of the dining room girls, who was
sweeping the floor, stepped upon a
match, and in an instant an explosion
occurred which not onlj wrecked the
building, but killed two girls and maimed
and in]urea a aozea oiuer ciupwjcco.
The force of the explosion was so great
that it blew out the flame of the ignited
2&s and no fire followed the awful ruin
which the shock caused.
The whole building was rocked as it in
an earthquake by the concussion, and all
the windows on the square were demolished,
while the wreck of the hotel building
was all but complete, the only rooms
In the house escaping destruction being
Ahe parlors and office.
\ Had the explosion occurred ten minutes
later the loss of life would have been
fraghtful, as nearly a hundred people

toTdinner, aud one of the clerks was on
hi/s way to make thii announcement
wSien the explosion occurred, and he was
cawght in the falling; debris, hebein? one
of the painfully injnred.
*Vhen the work of removing the dead
auJ rescuing the injured began, it was
foun^d that Katie Walters, a. waitress,

Kiotous Railroad Strlkors.
Port Hudson, Jan. 15.?The strikers,

jelted the stations with stones until
lardlv a whole pane of glass could be

rhey also attacked and completely
vrecked a large single station. The

:entrated at convenient points and did
heir utmost to save the railroad com)anies'
property. The bitterness of feeing
on the part of the strikers is increasing
daily and there are signs possibly of
