EDITOR COWLES’ SON SHOT
THB BULLET FIRED BY HIB WIFE’S
BROTHER IN HEB DEFENSE.
The Wounded Man Bad Just Made an
Attempt to Kill Her—A Wild Career,
a Fight for Possession of a Child and
a Divorce Suit at the Bottom of the
Tragedy.
Montrial, Quit., June B.— This after
noon at 4 o’clock, on one of the principal
streets of Montreal, a tragedy that has
thrown the city into a paroxysm of excite
ment was enacted In a carriage. St. Catha
rine’s street was crowded with pedestrians,
as is usual at that hour. Suddenly
they saw a flash, heard a pistol
shot, and heard a woman’s scream. When
the carriage was brought to a standstill
a woman alighted. In it were still two
men, one with a smoking revolver in his
hand, the other unconscious and his blood
soaking into the rugs of the vehicle.
THE WOUSDKD MAN’S IDENTITY,
fba wounded man was Eugene F. Cowles
of Cleveland, 0., son of Edwin Cowles, late
editor of the Leader. Uis asaailant)was E.
C. Hale of the same place, and tbe woman
•was his wife. After a few hurried words
Hale ordered the cabman to drive to
a hospital. The lady re-entered the car
riage, which started for u hospital, half a
mile distant. A bystander had telephoned
fur an ambulance, but its services were not
required. On the arrival of the party at
the hospital Dr. Kirkpatrick, the mediool
superintendent, had the wounded man con
veyed to the private ward, where Dr. Fen
wick, one of the attending physicians, was
called.
NO DANGER OF IMMEDIATE DEATH.
There was a close examination, a hurried
consultation, and the result was-announced
to the eager crowd. There was no imme
diate danger. The ball had entered the
right side of the neck, and after passing
the right jawbone emerged through the
cheek of the opposite side. When it became
known that there was no immediate
danger, an Inquiry into the facts of tbe case
was begun.
TAKEN TO THE POLICE STATION.
The party, with Sergt. Foye, who had
accompanied them from St. Catherine
street, proceeded to the central police
station. Sergt. Watson was on duty and
received them. Hale briefly stated the
story of the shooting and gave himself up
on a charge of shooting with intent to kilL
He took a brief leave of his friends and was
then shown to the cell he was to occupy.
There were now on the scene Mrs.
Cowles, Mrs. Bolton, her sister-in-law,
Judge J. E. Ingersoll of Cleveland os.Mrs.
Cowles’ legal adviser, and D. MoGlbbon of
Montreal
STOLE HIS CHILD.
Mr. Cowles was visiting his mother in
Cleveland, as bad been his custom. His
little daughter, who was stopping
with her mother, was permit
ted to visit her father at his
mother’s house. He took her in charge and
went to tho station, accompanied by his
sister, but lie escaped from her and at once
took a train. Thfs train ran only to Oon
neaut. There he got horses and drove
twenty-eight miles to Girard, Pa., to be
out of the state. From there he took a
train to Buffalo, and was next located at
the Willard hotel at St. Catherine.
STOPPED BY THE SHERIFF.
There he was met by Sheriff Sawyer, who
had a long interview with him, lasting
nearly a day. Thursday Cowles took a
boat for Toronto, about "four horns’ sail.
He had previously said that he was willing
to have an interview with his wife, but
would talk with no one else. His object
was to obtain an additional allowance.
COWLES A HUMMER.
Four months ago, on the death of his
father, he was cut off with an allowance of
82,300. Previous to this be had been living
at a rapid rate and made two visits
to Europe in company with a
woman of questionable character
named Clara Lieceschloss. She is known
under the aliases of King and Wilson, and
is at present stopping at Willard’s hotel, at
St. Catherine, having some there from
Buffalo.
AN APPLICATION FOR DIVORCE.
On Monday last application was made for
a divorce by Mrs. Cowles on the ground
of adultery. Cowles admitted his
guilt to the sheriff, naming persons arid
places, but he affirmed that his
wife had oondoned the offense. Mrs. Cowles
has in her possession a letter in which he
promised to mend his ways and be faithful
in the future. On Thursday at 7:50 o’clock
Cowles left for Montreal. A pursuing
Party, composed of Mrs. Cowles, Mrs.
Bolton, Judge Ingersoll. E. C. Hale aud
officers, reaohed Toronto the same morning.
AN INTERVIEW ARRANGED.
A consultation by Cowles with his Toronto
attorneys, McCarthy, Osier & Creelnian,
led to an interview being arranged here.
The last party reached here this morning
and stopped at the Windsor hotel. Cowles
had left the Windsor and bad gone to St.
Lawrence hall, where he registered as “Mr.
V> llson and child,” and had breakfast.
PUT THE CHILD IN A CONVENT.
After breakfast he took the child to Da
Academia de la fiacre Coeur, a oonveut
under charge of Les fioeurs de la Provence,
and gave instructions that she was not to
he given up without a written order from
him. He then returned to thsnotel without
the child ready,! for the interview with his
wife. The child, Florence, is 9 years old,
aud of remarkable beauty.
COWLES’ MARRIAGE.
Ten years ago Cowles was marriod to Miss
Alice Hale, daughter of E. B. Hale, a bunker
of Cleveland. For five years all went well,
when Cowles began to absent himself from
home, alleging that business called him to
Lockport, N. Y. Instead of this ho used to
go to the Iroquois house, where the woman
” flson, or Clara bienescbloss, as she was
known, was stopping.
A TRIP TO EUROPE.
On one occasion, when in Europe, Cowles
cabled his wife to come to his aid, saying
Jiat he was sick, fihe did go. accompanied
by her child, but he no sooner recovered
than he left her and returned with a strange
woman to America and registered in a hotel
in the Catskill mountains as man and wife.
On another ocoasion he lived with her in
ban Francisco, alleging that she was his
widowed sister, and occupying adjoining
TOO DOS.
EDITOR COWLES* EYES OPENED.
The father of Cowles, during this absence
of his son, became suspicious of him, and,
calling on his daughter-in-law, questioned
her whether she had had aDy trouble with
her husband. Receiving a reply in tbe
negative he told her that if at any- time any
trouble should arise, she was at
once to communicate the fact to
mm,because he believed he had more control
over his son than anybody else had. Last
JJctober she discovered what she believed to
bo his treachery, and called on hi* father,
when the son was cut off with $2,500 a
year ago, the bulk of the money going to
dis wife.
yesterday’s interview.
To-day an interview was effected. Cowles
insisted that only his wife should bo present,
JKofning ffeto£
but her brother would not consent, and he
aocompanied them in a cab for a
drive in the Mountain park. The
interview was in progress, when
Cowles made a movement as if to draw a
revolver, Hale anticipated him, with tbe
result stated. An order was procured from
Judge Dugas to the sisters instructing
them to produce the child, but they
refused. The court will issue an
official mandamus to-morrow, when a
guardian will be appointed. Hale will
appear in police court to-morrow to answer
to the charge against him. Much sympa
thy is felt for him and Mr*. Cowles, as it is
believed that Cowles intended to kill his
wife.
BILVBRSTILL A TOPIC.
It Will Be the Feature of the Week
In the Senate.
Washington, June B.—The interest that
centered in the proceedings of the House
last week will be transferred this week to
the Senate. Tbe discussion of the silver
question will be resumed to-morrow, the
bill that was passed by the House Saturday
being substituted for the pending measure
on tbe Senate calendar. This will facilitate
tho disposition of the matter. It is believed
that a vote on the bill will be reaohed be
fore the end of the week. It is also believed
that the bill which will pass the Senate will
provide for the purchase of 4,500,000
ounces of silver monthly, Hie certificates to
be issued in payment thereof to be legal
tender for all debts, and to be' redeemable
in lawful money.
Benator Vest has given notice that be
will ask the Sonata some day this week to
take np the bills on the calendar in regard
to tho transportation of cattle and beef
produots, but he will probably give way to
the silver debate, if it shall continue during
the week.
The legislative appropriation Mil will be
reported to the Senate early in the week,
and Senator Allison, chairman of the com
mittee, says be expects to have it passed be
fore the week passes.
Eulogies over the lato Representative
Wilbur of New York will be delivered
Thursday, and Saturday will be devoted to
“unobjected" bills on the calendar.
In the House.
In comparison with the preceding week
the forecast of the business to come before
the House this week is lacking in general
interest. Several appropriation bills are on
the calendar, and it is intended to dispose
of these with expedition, in order to avoid
embarrassment to the public service by de
layed appropriations at the beginning of the
nkt fiscal year.
To-morrow the district oommittoe will
have the floor to bring np matters of local
interest. There are a number of Senate
bills—mostly of a private nature —now on
the speakers table, and it is probablo that
a day will be allotted for their disposition.
The public buildings oommittoe are also
making strenuous efforts to secure another
special order to rescue a batchpf bills hong
up oft Mr. Turpin’s last apd elective? point
of “no quorum.’* There Is, special urgency
in this case, as tho sundry civil appropria
tion bill (which contains the appropriations
for publia buildings), is to be reported next
week, and it is necessary that these delayed
bills be passed if they are to be fallowed by
appropriations.
The commerce oommittoe has also ap
plied for an evening session during the
week.
As yet none of these applications have
received the attention of tho committee on
rules, but a meeting is to be held early in
the week, when the exact order of business
may be determined.
BAUM’S BS OBTCOMINQ3.
Agent Lemon Said to Have Indorsed
Hla Paper to the Extent of $26,000.
Washington, June B.—Pension Commis
sioner Haum has given out several official
denials of some of tbe charges made agaiust
him, but in none of them does he deny the
moat important charge, namely, that
Millionaire Psnsior? Claim Agent Lemon
indorsed accommodation notes far him to
the amount of $25,000. Mr. Cooper
of Indiana, who offered the
resolution of investigation in tbe
House yesterday, has goue home for a
week. He said before leaving: "It is known
that George E. Lemon has become Com
missioner Raum’s surety for a large sum of
money, and it is smd that he is financially
embarrassed and requires this indorsement.
It is also known that Mr. Raum has
Issued a circular, in which he
sets forth the value of the system now in
use by the Universal Refrigerating Com
pany, which circular was prepared by a
clerk in his office during office hours, ft is
but right that these chargee should be in
vestigated. If Mr. Raum is innocent then
ho ought to desire a vindication. No, I wiil
not give the names of the witnesses that
may be called to sustain these charges."
Lato to-night Commissioner Raum denied
that Agent Lemon had indorsed notes for
him smoe he became pension commissioner,
but he would not say that Agent Lemon
had not indorsed notes for him before lie
became pension commissioner, for notes so
indorsed had been paid.
FOUR WILSONS IN THE HOUSE.
A Little Mistake Recorded Them
Wrong on the Sllyer Bill.
Washington, June 8. —There are four
Wilsons members of the House of Repre
sentatives, and once in awhile the presence
of so many persons with a common family
name occasions slight mistakes in the record
of the proceedings of the House, more espe
cially as tho Wilsons do not all owe fealty
to tbe same political party. An instance
of this happened yesterday in tbe vote on
the silver bill. Mr. Wilson of Missouri,
a democrat, was recorded iu the pres? ac
count giving the yea and nay vote as voting
in favor of tbe passage of the bill, whereas
he voted against its passage, while Mr.
Wilson of Washington, a republican, was
put down among those opposed to the bill,
although he voted in favor of it. The
error occurred through the reading clerk
inadvertently calling the namo ot Mr.
Wilson of Washington before that of Mr.
Wilson of Missouri, thus reversing tbe
order in which their names are placed on
tbe roll call.
COLQUITT NOT TO REBION.
A Position was Offered Him, but He
Declined to Accept It.
Washington, June 8. —Senator Colquitt
denies tbe story that has been prevalent for
several days that he intends to resign his
seat in the Senate to accept a position with
a New York corporation. While a position
was offered him at a handsome salary, he
declined it.
Quay’s Man Bailey.
Washington, June 8. —Senator Quay
talks very confidently of electing ex-Btate
Treasurer Bailey as sorgeant-at-arms of the
Senate at the republican oauous on Tues
day. He claims several western delegate?
either on tbe first or second ballot. Senator
Bailey is bore to see it done.
DIXIE’S ELECTION CONTESTS.
Rules of Law and Precedents Ignored
by the Republicans.
Washington, June 8.—"I don’t know
what the further purpose of the majority
may be in election cases,” said Mr. Crisp of
Georgia. “They started off with eight
majority and now they have twenty. I do
not know how many more they want Mr.
Turpin of Alabama had a certified majority
of 15,153. and yet they turned him out and
elected Mr. McDuffie. Whose turn may
come next, after such proceeding as that, I
cannot tell Nothing seems to stagger the
committee on elections, and nothing nas so
far staggered the majority of the House.
justice ignored.
“Every rule of law and every precedent
of the House has been put aside, and they
proceed upon mere allegation and assump
tion, without proof that would stand a
moment in any court. You will find rty
opinion of such proceedings in the Record
in the Turpin case, where I said
that the majority set aside returns
on evidence unworthy of credit, made a
theory to suit themselves and adhered to it
and counted and certified as elected a man
who had been repudiated at the polls. This
is exactly tbe one thing needful to the suc
cess of the Republican party, and they pro
pose to pass a law, if leading republicans
are to be believed, to enable them to do
their own counting aud certifying in all
eases hereafter.
THEIR METHOD OF PROCEDURE.
“Election contests from the south seem to
be tried on presumption and theory rather
than upon facts. Their theory is that every
Colored man is a republican and votes the
republican ticket, and that every witness
who does not agree with that theory
is foresworn. This is not true.
Many colored people in the south
vote tho democratic ticket There is abund
ant evidence of that, but tbe republican
theory is that every colored man ought to
vote the republican ticket, and if he doesn’t
they proceed to count him Just as if he
had. This is a specimen of what we may
expect if the federal election bill passes.”
NEGROBB AS INDEPENDENTS.
A Circular From the Colored Tariff
Reform Club.
Washington, June B.—The Colored
Tariff Reform Club and Colored Bureau of
Information, located st No. 314 Fourth
street, southeast, baa issued an address to
the oolorod voters of the United States, and
especially those south of Mason and Dixon's
Hue, in which a division of their votes
among all the political parties is asked.
Thaoiroular says: “We were once needed
to assault forts on the battle fields. Now
we ate needed at the ballot box to protect
the high tariff monopoly, and when we
cease to give aid to this extraordinary high
tariff and the thousands of white republican
office-holders we will be Abandoned again
and relegated to a£ political shade of
quietude."
REPUBLICAN TRICKERY.
The oircular says that all tbe love the
republican leaders have for the colored man
is to receive his vote. It declares that tbe
negro was freed simply as a war measure.
Two oolored regiments, organized in Massa
chusetts, lay for a year without being recog
nized as part of the Union army. Foroe of
circumstance* drove the country to it,
“So you can see,” continued the circular,
“that you freed the northern republicans,
if any freeing was done.” The negroes
differ religiously, why not politically, it
is asked. It is declared that the
southern problem will not be solved by the
passage of tbe national election law. Noth
ing but Christianity on the part of the white
people and education and wealth on the
part of tbe oolored will ever settled it The
circular closed with good advice regarding
economy and sobriety.
BLAINB AS A BANK PRESIDENT.
Be is Mentioned as tbe Head of tbe
Pan-American Institution.
Washington, June B.—The Gazette says
on dit concerning Premier Blaine slates
him for tbe presidency of the graud inter
national Three Americas bank, capital
$25,000,000, which, under the recommenda
tion of the recent pan-American congress,
is now before congress for a charter, with
the premier’s friends named as incorpo
rators. It is hardly probably that there is
any truth in this rumor, although it comes
from a very reputable source, coupled with
the statement that Mr. Blaine will retire
from the cabinet after the elections and
have tte headquarters of the new scheme
located iu New York, with the view
to making political capital in the
pivotal state. W ith a capital of $25,000,000,
the possibility of subsidized steamship lines
to South and Central America, the pan-
American railroad scheme in fair prospect
of fulfillment, and a liberal c mmercial
policy toward the southern repubiiua, it is
quite possible that the bank might wield
great influence and its president reap rich
rewards.
REED AND SUBSIDIES.
The Speaker Still Unable to Get His
Scheme Through.
Washington, June B.—Speaker Reed has
been unable so far to get the suLsidy bill
through the House because ho could not
commaud his usual majority in the commit
tee on rules on this question, Mr. Cannon
refusi'-g to vote for subsidies. Speaker
Reed’s delay in selecting Mr. Carlisle’s suc
cessor on tho rules committee i3 said to be
partly.due to his failure so far to find a
democrat who would, if appointed, vote
with him for subsidies.
SENATOR BROWN’S CONDITION.
He Will Return to Washington This
Session if Able.
Washington, June B.—Says Mr. Avery,
private secretary to Senator Brown of
Georgia: “I left the senator looking and
feeling much better than for three months.
He has hud sciatica, with other complica
tions, which left him in bad shape, but he is
recovering. He goes around visiting his
sons, aud was up at Marietta a while ago to
see his new grandson and namesake. It is
his earnest desire to come back to Washing
ton before the session oloses, and he will do
so if able, although his physicians try to
discourage him from attempting it.”
TORREY’S BANKRUPTCY BILL.
A Delegation Going to Washlngton to
Give It a Push.
Washington, June B.—The executive
committee of the national convention of
representatives of the commercial bodies of
tbe United States will meet here to-morrow
to take tteps to h asten the consideration of
tbeTorrey oankruptcy bill, which had been
favorably reported to tbe House. Unless it
is expedited It will not pass at this session,
and even if dt is hurried the chances are
against it.
Death of a Physician.
Tallahassee, Fla., Jane B.—Dr. J. E.

last. He was the only physician in Wa
kulla county.
SAVANNAH, GA., MONDAY, JUNE 9, 1890.
AN EXD TO OUR TROUBLES
ONLY THOSE IN THB ARK OF SAL
VATION WILL BEE THB RAINBOW.
Without Trouble the Brightness of
Christian Consolation Would be
Lacking—The Beauties of the Rain
bow-Earth's Most Beautiful Things
to be Preserved in Heaven.
Brooklyn, June B.— This is a sacra
mental and baptismal day with the taber
nacle congregation, an occasion of especial
impressiveness. Tbe children were bap
tized before the sermon and the sacrament
administered after sermon. The subject of
Dr. Taknage’s discourse wan, “All troubles
past;” aud the text,Revelation iv., 3, “There
was a rainbow round about the throne.’’
Following is the sermon:
As, after a night of foarful tempest at
sea, one ship, more stanch than another,
rides on undamaged among tbe fragments
of spars and bulks that float about, so old
Noah’s ark, at tbe close of tbe deluge, floats
on over the wreck of a dead world. Look
ing out of tbe window of the ark, you see
the plonkß of houses, and the sheaves of
wheat, and the carcasses of cattle, and the
corpses of men. No tower is left to toll the
burial; no mourners to form in line of pro
cession ; no ground in which to bury the
dead. Sinking a line twenty-seven feet
long, you just touch the tops of tho moun
tains. Ghastliness and horror 1 The ark,
instead of walking the sea like a modern
ship, in majesty and beauty, tosses help
lessly ; no helm to guide; po salt to set; no
shore to steer for. Why protract the agonr
of tbe good people in such a craft, whan
they might in one dash of the wave have
been put out of their misery?
But at yonder spot In tho horizon we see
colors gathering in the sky; at just the op
posite point in the horizon other colors are
gathering. I find that they are the two
buttresses of an arohed bridge, The yellow,
the red, the orange, tbe blue, the indigo, the
violet are mingled, aud by invisible bands
the whole structure is hung into the sky.
aud the ark has a triumphal arch to sail
under. An augei of light swings his hand
across the sky, and the seven prismatic
colors he paints with penail of sunbeam, tho
everlasting covenant between God and
every living oreature. God lifted up that
great arched bridge, and set it over bis own
ead in the heaven. John saw it, for ho
says, “There was q rainbow round about
the throne.”
I notion that none bat tbe people who
were in the ark saw the rainbow. It cast
its shadow clear down Into the water where
the people were buried, and lighted up tbe
dead faces with a strange radian os, but
they could not see it. Ho only those who
are at last found in Christ, the ark, will see
the overspanning glories of tho throne.
Henoe you had better get into the ark I As
you call your family out at tbe close of the
shower to show them the sign in heaven, so
I want you all at last to see tho grander
rainbow round about the throne. “Look
there V says Noah to bis wife, “at that bow
in tbe olouds; and Shorn and Japhot, look!
lopkl the green, the yellow, tbe rod and tho
orange 1” I should not wonder if some of
your own-chfidren in the good land should,
after a while, oar out to you, “Look father!
took mother! there is a rainbow round
about tbe throne!’’ You had better get into
the ark with all your families, if you want
to see it.
I notice also that the chief glory of God
comes after the vain. No shower, no rain
bow; no trouble, no brightness of Christian
consolation. Weavers are sometimes, by
reason of their work, dusty and rough in
their apparel; and so it is the ooarse-clad
tempest, whose hand and foot swing tho
shuttle, that weaves the rainbow. Many
Christians are dull and stupid and useless
because they have not had disaster enough
to wake them up. The brignteit scarf that
heaven makes is thrown over the shoulders
of the storm. You cannot make a thorough
Christian life out of sunshine alone. There
are some very dark hues in tho ribbon of
the rainbow; you must have in life tbe blue
as well as the orange. Mingling all tbe
colors of the former makes a white light;
and it takes all the shades and sadnesses
and vicissitudes ot life to make the white
luster of a pure Christian etia. actor.
Your child asks you, “Father, what
makes tbe rainbow?” and you say, “It is
the sunlight striking through the rain
drops.” Therefore, I wondered how there
could be a rainbow in heaven since there
are no storms there; but then 1 conclude
that that rainbow must be formed by the
striking of heaven’s sunlight through the
falliug tears of earthly sorrow. When we
see a man overwhelmed with trouble, and
his health goes, and his property goes, and
his friends go, I say, “Now we shall see the
glory of God in "this good man’s deliver
ance.” As at Niagara Fails I saw, one day,
ten rainbows spanning the awful plunge of
the cataract, so over the abyss of the
Christian’s trial hover the ricb-uued wings
of all the promises.
I notice that the most bfautiful things of
this world are to be preserved in heaven.
When you see last color fade out from the
rainbow ot earth, you need not feel sad. tor
you will see the rainbow round about tho
throne. That story about tho world burn
ing up has given me many a pang. When
I read thut l aris was besieged, 1 said: “Now
the pictures and statues in the Louvre and
Luxembourg will be destroyed; all those
faces of Rembrandt, ami. th ee bold dashes
of Robons, and those enchantments of
Raphael on canvas, and those statues of
Cauova.” But is it not a more melancholy
thought that ruin is to come upon tide great
glory of tho earth, in which the mountains
are the chiseled sculptures, yid upon the
sky, in which the “transfiguration” of
sunrise and sunset is hung with
loops and tassels of tire ? 1
was relieved when 1 found that
tho pictures had been removed from the
Louvre and tbe L ixembourg, and lam
relieved now whea I thi.nk that the bait
parts of this earth are either to be removed
or pictured in the good land. The trees
must twist in the last tire—the oak?, and the
cedars, and tho maples; but in heiven there
shall be tho trees of life on the bank of the
river, and the palm-trees from which the
c mquerors shall pluck their branches. The
Hudson, and the St. Lawrence, and the
Ohio shall boN in the lest flame, but we
shall have more than their beauty in the
river of life from under the throne. The
daisies, and tbe portulacas, and the roses of
eartu will wither in the hot sirocco of the
judgment, but John tells of the garlands
which the glorified shall wear; and thore
must be flowers, or there could be no gar
lauds.
The rainbow on our sky, which is only
the pillow of the dying storm, must be re
moved; but then, glory beta God I “there
is a rainbow round about the throne.” X
have but to look up to the radiant arch
above the throae of Ood to assure myself
that the most glorious things of earth are
to be preserved in heaven. Thon let the
world burn; all that is worth saving will be
snatched out of the fire.
I see the same truth set forth in the
twelve foundations of the wall of heaven.
St. John announces the twelve foundations
of this wail to be, the first, of jasper—yel
low and red; the second, of sapphire—a
deep blue; the third, a chalcedony—a varied
beauty; the fourth, emerald —a bright green
color; tne fifth, sardonyx—a bluish white;
tho sixth, sardius—red and fiery; the sev
enth, chrysolite—golden-hued; the eighth,
beryl—a bluish green; the ninth, a topaz—
a pale green mixed with yellow; the tenth;
chrysopratus—- a golden bluish tint; tbe
eleventh, jacinth—fiery as the sunset; the
twelfth, the amyzhest. Rut these precious
stone* are only the foundation of tbe wall
ot heaven —tbe meet inferior part of it.
On the top of this foundation there rises a
mighty wall of jasper—of brilliant yellow
and gorgeous crimson. Stupendous cata
ract of color 1 Throne of splendor and sub
limity 1
You see that the beautiful colors which
are the robes of glory to our earth are to be
forever preserved in this wall of heaven.
Our skiee of blue, which sometimes seem
almost to drop with the richness of color,
shall be glorified and eternized in tbe deep
everlasting blue of that fiery stone which
forms the second foundation of the heav
enly wall. The green that sleeps on tbe
brook's banks and rides on the sea wave,
and spreads its banners on the mountain
top, shall be eternized in tho emerald
that forms tbe fourth foundation
of the heavenly wall. The fiery gush of
the morning, the conflagration of the au
tumnal sunset, the olootnclty that shoots its
forked tongue out of the tbunder-oloud, the
flame at whose breath Moscow fell and
FEtnas burn, shall be eternized in the fiery
jasper. It seorns as If all earthly beauty
were in one billow to be dashed up against
that wall of heaven: so that tbe most
beautiful things of earth will be kept either
iu tbe wall, or tbe foundation, or in the
rafnbotv round about the throne.
I notice the unspeakable attractiveness of
heaven. In other places the Bible tolls us
of the floor of heaven—tho waters, aod the
stones, and the fruits; but now St. John
tells us of the roof—the freecoed arch of
eternity, and the rainbow round about tbe
throne. Get a ticket, and, carefully
guarded, you go into the royal factory at
Paris where the Gobelin tapestries of the
world are made, and see how for years a
man will sit putting in and out a ball of
oolored worsteds through the delicate
threads, satisfied If he caa in a day moke so
much as a finger’s breadth of beauty for a
king's oanopy. But behold how my Lord,
iu one hour, with his two hands, twlstod'tbe
tapestry, now swung above the throue, into
a rainbow of infinite glory. O, wliat a
place heaven must be I You have heretofore
looked at the floor; this morning take one
glance at the celling.
I notice what must be tho feeling of
safety among tbe people of hoaven. Have
you ever seen a cloud-burst 1 There have
been days when It rained os if it would
never stop. You knew, if it kept on in
that way long, oil the nations would be
drowned; yet you had no apprehension, for
you remember the bow of promise painted
on tbe cloud In Noah’s time. Ho the glori
fied have but to look to the arch around tbe
throne of the king to be reassured that the
deluge of trial is forever past.
On earth, the deluge of sin covers tbe
tops of the highest mountains. 1 heard an
Alpine guide, amid tbe most stupendous
evidences of God’s power, (wear at his mule
as he stumbled In the pass. Yes, the deluge
of sin doe ties over the top of tbe highest
mountain rangy*. Revenge, drunkenness,
impiety, falsehood, blasphemy are but dif
ferent waves of a flood that has whelmed
nations. New York is drowned in it,
Brooklyn is drowned in it, Boston
is drowned in it, Loudon is
drowned in it, St. Petersburg
is drowned in it —two great hemispheres
are drowned in it. But the r. deemed,
looking unto the “rainbow round about
tbe throne,” see tbe pledge that all this is
ended for them forever. They have com
mitted their last sin, and combated their
last temptation; no suicide leaps into those
bright waters; no profanity befouls that
Cure air; no Villain's toroh shall fire thoeo
Hnples; no murderer’s hand shall strike
down those sous of God. They know that
for them the deluge of sin is assuaged, fpr
“there is a rainbow round about tno
throne."
Now the world is covered with a deluge
of blood. Tbe nations are all tbe time
either using the sword or sharpening it.
The factories of the world are night and
day manufacturing the weaponry of death.
Throne against throne, empire against em
pire. The spirit of despotism and freedom
at war in every land; despotic America
against free America, despotic England
against free England, despotic Germany
against free Germany, desjKitin Austria
against free Austria. The great battle of
earth is being fought—the Armageddon of
the nations. The soDg that unrolled from
Bky on the first Christmas night of "peace
and good will to men,” is drowned in the
booming of the great siege-guns. Stand
back, and let tbe long line of ambulances
pass. Groan to groim. Uncover, and look
upon the trenches of the dead. Blood!
blood!—a deluge of blood!
But tho redeemed of heaven, looking
upon tbe glorious arch that spans the throne,
shall see tnat the deluge is over. No bat
teries are planted on those bills; no barri
cades blocicing those street*; no hostile flag
above those walls; no smoke of burning vib
lages; no shrieks of butchered men, but
peace! Gerrnau and Frouchmsn, who fail
with arms interlocked in bnte on tbe field of
death, now, through Christie heaven, stand
with arms interlocked in love. Arms
stacked forever; shields of battle hung up.
The dove instead of the eagle; the lamb in
stead of the lion. There shall be nothing to
hurt or destroy in ail God’s holy mount, for
there Is a rainbow round about tbe throne.
Now the earth is covered with tea deluge
of sorrow. Trouble! trouble! The very
first utterance when we come into the world
is a cry. Without any teaching, wo leoru
to weep. What has so wrinkled toat man’s
face? What has so prematurely whitened
his hair? Wbat calls out that sigh? What
starts that tear? Trouble! trouble! I find
it in tho cellar of poverty, and far up
among the bights on the top of the crags;
for this also hath gone over the top* of the
highest mountains. No escape from it
You go into the store, and it meets you at
your counting desk; you go into tho street,
uud it meets you at the comer; you go into
tho h use, and it meets you at tbe door.
Tears of poverty! tears of persecution 1 tears
of bereavement! —a deluge of tears!
Gathered together from all tho earth, they
could float an ark larger than Noah's.
But the glorified, looking up to the bow
that spans tbe throne, shall see that the
deluge is over. No shivering wretch on th*
palace step; no blind man at the gate of the
heavenly temple asking for alms; no grind
ing of the scre-.v-drivor on cofliu lid. Tney
look up at the rainbow, and real, in lines of
yellow, and red, aud green, and blue, and
orange, and indigo, and violet, “They shall
hunger no more, neither thirst any more;
neither shall the sun light on them, nor any
heat; for tbe Lamb which is iu tho midst of
the throne shall feed them, and shall lead
them unto living fountains of waters, and
God shall wipe away all tears from their
eye l ." Thank God for the glory spanning
the throne 1
In our boyhood we had a superstition
that at the foot of the rainbow there was a
casket of buried gold, but I have to an
nounce tnat at the foot of this rainbow of
heaven there is a box made out ot tbe wood
of the cross. Open it and you And ail the
treasures of heaven.
O that our eyes may all look upon this
bow of promise, lifted by Christ’s own
hand! We shall trace the separate line* of
beauty across the firmament. In the line
of red I shall see the blood of my Lord;
in the blue, the bruises that colored his
cheek; in the green, the freshness of his
graca; in the violet, his humility; in all
that curve of beauty, the betid of his right
ai m of love swung over all the redeemed.
But mind what I told you at tbe begin
ning, aud what I tell you at the close—that
none but Noah’s family iu the ark saw the
rainbow, and that only tbuae who are at
last in Christ shall discover it amid the
glories of heaven.
“Except a man be born again, he cannot
see the kingdom of God."

to be Landed.
New York, June Bk—As a result ol
Special Treasury Agent Wilbur’s work, flvd
men now languish in Ludlow street jail and
two more ore out on bail on a charge ol
smuggling. Those in jail are John Hartj
John Hugs* and John Batter, petty officers
on the Inman rteamer City of New York,
John Lathin, the head barkeeper, and John
Murdoch, the ship’s storekeeper ot
the Inman liner City at Chicago. Those
out on bail are Edward Baxter, dock clerk,

by tbe Inman line at Jersey City. Lathin
aud Merdock were arrested at an early hour
this morning on Liard of tho City of Chi
cago by Inspectors Hussey and Britton of

The specific charge against Lathin and
Merdock is that on May 13 lost they
brought into Jersey City a lot of ready
made clothing iu bogs, on whioh they
evaded the duty. The arrest would have
been made then, but the vessel sailed before
the matter could be brought home to the
pair. Lathin was arrested in 1885 for a
like offense. Hart, Hughes and Baker, who
were taken from tbe City of New York, are
said to be wealthy Liverpool citizens,
who have made comfortable fort
unes by just suoh practices as
that for which they are now under arrest.
Inspector Britten expects to have ten or a
dozen more offenders under arrest soon.

"The men who did thesmuggling we’ve got.
but the receiver* are those we are after, ana
the public will be greatly surprised when

cerned in the matter.”
