and in the forgiveness of nothing, an(

is the creed of' teng of tiousaiiis of peo
t ple in this dIv. If you have a mind t(
adopt such theory I will not. "I be

the life everlasting. Amen." Oh,
when I see Eleazar taking such a stout
grip of the sword in the battle againsi
sin and for righteousness, I come to ti
conclusion that we ought to take a stout.
er grip of God's eternal truth, the swori
of' righteousness.
As I look at Eleazer's hand I also no
tice his spirit of self forgetfulness. 11c
(lid iot notice that the hilt of the sword
was eating through the palm of Ivs haid
Ile (lid not know it hurt him. As lit
went out into the conflict le was so anx.
ious for the victory he forgot himself,
and that hilt might go never so deeplj
into the palm of his hand it could noi
disturb him. "IIis hand Cave unto thc
sword.'' Oh. my brothers and sisters,
let us go into Christian conflict with tht
spirit of selfr abnegation. Who caret.
w hetier the world pralses us or deiouti

I Suntation, or abuse or persecution in a
conflict like this? Let us forget oursel.

tine. Who cares whether you get hurt
or not if you get the victory? Oh, how
I many Christians there are who are all
the tame worrying about the way the
i world treats them. They are so tired,
- and they are so abused, and they are sc
1 tempted, when Eleazer did not think
5 whether lie had a hand, or an arm, or t
foot. All he wanted was victory.
We see how men forget themselves it
worldly achievement. We have ofter
seen men who in order to achieve world.
I ly success will forget all physical fatiguc
L and all annoyance and all obstacle .
) Just after the battle of Yorktown, in thc
I American Revolution, a musician,
i wounded, was told he must have hit
r limbs amputated, and they were aoul
to fasten him to the surgeon's table
for it was long before the merciful dis
p covery of aitesthetles. Ile said, "No,
I don't fasten tie to that t.able, get me v
violin." A violin was brought to hiu
- and he said. "Now go to work as I be
- gin to play," and for forty minutes, dur
> ing the awful pan,_s of amputation, h<
move(l not a muscle nor dropped a not<
> while he pla.yed some sweet tuie. Oh
3 is it not strange that with the music o
the Gospel of Jesus Christ and with thit
i grand nmarch of the church militant ot
the way to become the church triumph
ant, we cannot forget ourselves and for
get all pang and all sorrow and all por
secution and all perturbation?
TlE ENDURANCE OF IEROIC MEN.
We know what men accomplish undei
worldly opposition. Men do not shrint
I back for antagonism or for hardship
You have admired Prescott's "Conques
of Mexico," as brilliant and beautiful r
history as was ever written; but some ol
I you may not know under what (fisadvan.
tages it was written-that "Conquest ol
Mcxico"-ft r P'res.:ott was totally blind,
andl he hand two pieces of Wood piarallel
to each other Iastened, and totally blind,
with his pen between those p:eces ol
wood lie wrote, the stroke against one
piece of wood telling how far the pen
must go in one way, the stroke against
the other piece of wood telling how ft
the pen must go in the other way. Oh,
how much men will endure for wvorldly
knowledge and f'or' woirldly success, and
Iyet, how lIfttle we endunre for .Jesuas Christ.
Ilow many Christians there are that, gc
around saving. "'Oh, my haind, my hanid,
my hurt hand; don't, you see there It

went mnto the conllict, "And his hand

But I see in the next place what a
hard th-g it was for ElCazar to !et his
hand and his sword parted. The m1luls
cles and the sinews had been so long
,rasped around he smord lie could not
drop it when he proose(l to drop it.
and his three comrades, I supposi, come
up and tried to help him, and they
hathed the ba-_k part of the hand, iop.
ing the sinews and muscles wtouhl relax.
But no. 'lli-I hand Clave int.) the

lingers and to pull back the thumb; hut
no sooner were thcy pulled back tin
they closed again, "and his hand clave

were successful. and then they noticed
that the curve in the palm o! the hand
corresponded exactly with the cut ve of
the hilt. "llis haud Clave tIO 1he

Eirot Tribune: Sydney Laacelles,

fron New York for trial, spent six
weeks in this city this summer. le did
the society act, gave champagen sup
t pers, Sang at coucert and in church choirs,
ugave 125 each to a number of churches,
tipped evcry one who did him a service.
Before he leitt, however, lie raised
a *1,000 from Mr. Lockwood, the man
e agor of the bank, on a draft, on the
i Oritntal Band. London, England. The
d draft was returned "no funds." Lascel
1 les, as he called himself here, went to
D Detroit and raised $200 on a bogus check
y Uroi Mr. Maxwell. a hotel keeper. lie
was a reuular society swell and lion
y here known to overy one, and, tLherelore,
i anything about him is of great interest.
I write to ask you to do me the gr, at
i- favor of' sending coyies of your paper
if containing any reference to Lascelles,
s his trial or sentence. Anything I can
e do lor or anything about him from here
o that would be of interest will be cicer

I probable lie will be convicted. and il so
e the publie will be relieved from the daii

Ninw YORK, October 15.-The New
i York Times and other morning papers
to-day published news of which the fol
lowing is the substance: John loey,
who for the last forty years has been
identilied with the Adans Express
Company, and who for over three years
c has been its president, wai yesterday
,t discharged from his high oflice by the
n unanimous vote of the board of airec
I tors on the charge of malleasance.
e Clapp fSpooner, vice presi(lent of the
compiny, a Bridgeport millionaire, who
d occupied the president's chair whenthe
. vote was cast to discharge lioey, and
who voted for that discharge, handed
d in his resignation, and it was accepted
d for precisely the same reason for which
llooy was discharged. The charges
against Iloey anti Spooner, which
brought about the above act.ion, are
' that they purchased the New York and
ie Boston Dispatch Express Company and
Is Kinsley Express Conpany for $560,000,
er and turned them over to the Adams
n. Express Contiany tor $850,000, and that
)it the difference between these two
te amounts was divided between Iloey
r and Spooner, Henry Sherburne and
.y ilenry C. Taft.
Ie Ttm axposure was brought about by
r a suit brouight by Sherbiurne against
the other three men for an accounting
1Y and his share of the profits of the deal.
1loey's share of the profits is set down
Ias $179,000, and Spooner's at 0172,0J.
'he publicihied statemorts are that
c when the directors met to consider the
* subject, IIoey had nothing to say. lien

KILLED AT HIS POST.
THE UNTIMELY ENO OF POLICEMAN
EAVES.
4hot Down While Attempting to Arrest a
Drunken Man, also a P1olleeman-The
Slaver, a ThIrd Policeman, Likewise
Drunk.
CIIILESTON, S. C., Oct. 12.-Police
nan James W. Quinlivan shot and kill
d Policeman Richard C. Eaves at the
ioutheast corner of State and Queen
itreets, between 11 and 12 o'clock last
ight. The shooting grew out of a
lrunken spree in which Policeman
Juinlivan and .J. J. Duggan were en
raged.
It seems that both Quinlivan and
Duggan had been drinking heavily dur
rng the day, and when they went on
u ty last evening at 7 o'clock they kept
t up. Eaves's beat was East Bay be
ow Broad street. Duggan was the a(I
oing beat, that is East Bay above Broad,
ond Quinlivan was stationed on State
itreet. Shortly before 11 o'clock last
night Quinlivan and Duggan left their
beats and went down on Eaves's beat
and began carousing and making a
noise. L-aves went up to them and or
dered then to leave his beat.
R!ESISTINO AUREST.
Duggan, who was the drunkest of the
two, refused to go, so it is said, and
Eaves, after repeating his orders in vain,
Dalled upon Edward Doran to assist
him, and promptly placed Duggan un
Eler arrest, and tried, with Doran's as
istance, to take him to the patrol box
it the corner of l'hiladelphiaand Queen
3treets. Duggan objected strenuously
to being at rested, and Quinlivan also
protested in Duggan's behialf, but with.
jit av4il. Eaves had taken Duggan as
1ar as the corner of Queen and State
streeti, when Quinlivan, finding that
tis entreaties were unavailing, and de
termined to prevent Duggan's being
sent to the Station House, attempted
to release him by force.
TilE KILLINO.
1.aves then drew his club and struck
Qminlivan a heavy blow on the head,
cutting the scalp and bringing blood
freely. Crazed by the blow and drink
Quinlivan jerked his pistol out of its
holster and shot at Eaves once. The
ball entered Eaves's head on the left
side, just back of the temple, and death
must have been almo2t instantaneous.
Partially sobered by what he had done
Quinlivan ran to the nearest patrol box
and telephoned to the Station liouse for
the patrol wagon.
A IIORRIBLE S1IT.
In the meantime Lieut. Ileidt and
Sergt. McCaifrey had heard of the
shooting and hastened to the spot.
They found Eaves lying on his back on
the pavement, his face turned up to
wards the sky, a smile upon his lips, and
both blood and brains oozing out of a
ghastly wound back of the left temple.
The blood trickled slowly down to the
p!ivement, forming tiny pools in the
hollows of the bricks. Duggan. oniti
Quinlivan were stawli r mkr at hand.
QUINLIVAN'S STORY.
Quinlivan told Lieut. lIeidt that
Eaves had struck him with his club
and that lie then shot him. le also
claims that Eaves drew his pistol on
him, and, as Eaves's pistol was found
lying on the pavement by the dead
man s side, Quinlivan's story may be
true.
As soon as the patrol wagon arrived
iAeut. Ifeidt, sent Quinlivan and Dug
gan tip to the Station House where
they were locked up. The coroner had
in the meantime been notified of the
killing, and Deputy Coroner Rivers
went to the scene of the tragedy, and
after viewing the body had it removed
to the City 11 ospital, where the inquest
will be held this morning.
AN INvESTIGATION.
Chief Golden was on the spot soon
alt,er the shooting and made an inves
tigation into the matter. It was ex
eeedliugly dtillculit to find anyone who
wold or could throw any light uponi
the killing. Trhe only witness secured
last night was Ed ward Doran, who had
been as.sisting Eaves to take Duggan to
the pat,rol box, anid who witnessed the
iuarrei and consequent shooting. Ills
uccounrt of what happened is substanti
ally thle story as related above. Neither
l)tggan nor Quinuivan wvas in a condi
ion to be interviewed last night aft,er
ieing locked up, so that It was impossi
>le to learn their version of the shoot
nig.
lE MAN wilO WAS KLrLED).
Eaves was a young man, with light
ayes andi hair, of a ruddy comnpiexionl
well built and bore an excellent and en
viable reputation for sobriety and
trict attention to his duty, lie came
~o Charleston two years ago from Sul
Ivan County, Tennessee, and secured
mpllloyment as a driver on the Enter
trise Rtailroad. iIe remained in the
mp)lloy of that company until June 4,
1891, when lie was appointed to the po.
lee force, being very strongly endorsed
~or that position .1 ie wasa 23 years of
tge andl unmarried.
TilE MANSLAYElt.
.James WV. Quini'van, the offHcer
who did the shooting, was appointed
~o the force on June 22, and was also
i years of age. J1. J. J)uggan, the cause
)fthe shooting, Is the oldest man of
hle trio arnd has been on the force for a
onger timue. lHe was appointed July 7,
1889, and is 24 years old, lie is not
what is known as a drinking man, care
rully avoiding as a rule all intoxicating
Liquors, but when he does begin to
Irink he never stops until he is dr-unk.
The occurrence last night was a most
leplorable one, and it will be sifted to
Lhe bottom at the inquest this morn
ing..-News and Courier.
