THE PRESIDENT’S HEALTH.
There is still some talk here that Mr.
Cleveland is by no means well. After his
return from Bu/ ard's Bay. Dr. Bryant
of New York paid him two visits. There
aeems to be no positive information as to
what ails him. but the common belief in
Washington is that he has some internal
trouble that requires constant treatment.
He continues to get more tieshy. and cer
tainly to all outward appearances he is
not a sick man. but it is noLthe nature of
the President to be in the
hands of a physician ‘unless there were
mme specific need of such attendance.
NEEDS A ROPE BADLY.
A Murderer in North Carolina Plays
the Insanity Dodge.
Columbia, S. C„ Sept. 2.—A white man
■amed B. E. Gray, alias Hoke L. Se
crest. was released to-day from the peni
tentiary hdre, having served a two years’
sentence for assault and battery with in
tent to kill. Immediately upon leaving
the penitentiary he was arrested by an
officer from North Carolina, who had
requisition papers for him, on a charge of
murder, and thereon hangs a tale.
Twelve years ago Grey married a young
woman in Union. S. C., taking her im
mediately to North Carolina, where
within twelve hours after the marriage
ceremony, he took her in the woods and
murdered her, burying her in the woods.
The murder was discovered and he was
arrested and found guilty, but playing the
Insanity dodge, was sent to an asylum.
Here he remained for some time, but fin
ally made his escai*, and coming to
South Carolina, he committed larceny
and was sent to the penitentiary for two
years. He served his sentence
and was sent to North Carolina,
where he was again tried for the previous
murder, but again only sent to the
asylum. Escaping again, ho went to
Spartanburg, S. C., where he married a
woman and had several children. He
treated them so badly that be was sent
to the penitentiary for two years for as
sault and battery with intent to kill,
which sentence he has just served. He
is supposed also to have murdered his
own daughter by a previous marriage.
He was taken back to North Carolina and
will be tried again.
The officials in the penitentiary say
that he has shown no signs of insanity
since he has been here until arrested by
the North Carolina officer to-day. except
once when he was recognized by a gentle
man from North Carolina who was visit
ting the penitentiary some time ago.
A BRUTAL MURDER.
A Negro Woman Cut to Pieces by a
White Man.
Abbeville, Qa., Sept 2.—A brutal mur
der was committed here last night.
Missie Jackson, a notorious negress,
robbed Albert Evans while in her room.
As soon as Evans discovered that his
pocketbook was gone he charged the wo
man with the theft and followed her into
the street and demanded the return of
his money, which she refused to give up.
Becoming exasperated, Evans drew his
knife and literally cut her to pieces. As
soon as Evans drew the knife
the woman began to plead pite
ously for her life and offered to re
turn the money. The infuriated
man dealt blow after blow, and only de
sisted when the cries of the unfortunate
wretch attracted attention, when he fled
under cover of the darkness.
The woman rau to a house near by and
fell dead on the threshold of the room.
One of the wounds was between the
shoulder blades, six inches long and very
deep, another was under the left nipple
and exposed her heart.
The verdict of the coroner’s jury was
in accordance with the facts.
The murderer is still at large.

TALMAGE ON THE RESCUE.
The Text of His Sermon Taken From
Acts xvi., 31.
The Story of Paul and Silas—Put
Your Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ
and You Will Bi Saved—Our Savior
and the Cross—To Those Hearts Who
Are Utterly Broken Down by Be
reavem*nt Ho Suggests the Eternal
Balm of Heaven.
Brooklyn, Sept. 2.—Rev. Dr Talmage,
who is still absent in the South Pacific,
has selected as the subject of to-day’s
sermon through the press. “The Rescue,’’
the text chosen being Acts 16:31; “Be
lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou
shalt be saved.”
Jails are dark, dull, damp, loathsome
places even now; but they were worse
in the apostolic times. I imagine, to-day,
we are standing in the Philippian dun
geon. Do you not feel the chill? Do
you not hear the groan of those incarce
rated ones who for ten years have not
seen the sunlight, and the deep sigh of
women who remember their father’s
house, and morn over the wasted estates?
Listen again. It is the cough of a com
sumptive, or the struggle of one in the
nightmare of a great horror. You listen
again, and hear a culprit, his chains rat
tling as he rolls over in his dreams, and
you say; “God pity the prisoner.” But
there is another sound in that prison. It
is the song of joy and gladness. What a
place to sing in? The music comes wind
ing through the corridors of the prison,
and in all the dark wards the whisper
is heard; “What's that? “What’s that?”
It is the song of Paul and Silas. They
cannot sleep. They have been whipped,
very badly whipped. The long gashes on
their backs are bleeding yet They lie
fiat on the ground, their feet fast in
wooden sockets, and, of course, they can
not sleep. But they can sing, jailer,
what are you doing with these people?
Why have they been put inhere! Oh,
they have been trying to make the world
better. Is that all.' That is all. A pit
for Joseph. A lion's cave for Daniel. A
blazing furnace for Shadrach. Clubs for
John Wesley. An anathema for Philip
Melancthon. A dungeon for Paul and
Silas •
But while we are standing in the gloom
of the Phillippian dungeon, and we hear
the mingling voices of sob and groan and
blasphemy and hallelujah, suddenly an
earthquake ! The iron bars of the prison
twist, the pillars crack off, toe solid ma
sonry begins to heave, and all the doors
swing open. The jailer, feeling himself
responsible for these prisoners, and be
lieving, in his pagan ignorance, suicide to
be honorable—since Brutus killed him
seif. and Cato killed bimsel, and Cassius
killed himself—puts his sword to his own
heart, proposing with one strong keen
thrust to put an end to his excitement and
agitation. But Paul cries but, “Stop!
stop! Do thyself no harm. We are all
here.”
Then I see the jailer running through
the dust and amid the ruin of that prison,
and I see him throwing himself down at
the feet of these prisoners, crying out,
“What shall I do? What shall I do?”
Did Paul answer, “Get out of this place
before there is another earthquake; put
handcuffs and hobbles on these other pris
oners lest they get away?” No word of
that klud. His compact, thrilling, tre
mendous answer, answer memorable all
through earth and heaven, was, “Believe
ou the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt
be saved.”
Well, we have all read of the earth
quake in Lisbon, in Lima, in Aleppo, and
inCarracas; but we liie in a latitude
where in ail our memory there has not
been one severe volcanic disturbance.
And yet we have seen fifty earthquakes.
Here is a man who has been building up
a large fortune. His bid on the money
market was felt in all cities. He thinks
he has got beyond all annoying rivalries
in trade, and he says to himself, “Now I
am free and safe from all possible per
turbation.” But in 1857 or in 1873 a na
tional panic strikes the foundation of the
commercial world, and crash goes all that
magnificent business establishment.
Here is a man who has built up a very
beautiful home. His daughters have iust
come home from the seminary with diplo
mas of graduation. His sons have
started in life, honest, temperate, aud
pure. When the evening lights are
struck, there is a happy and unbroken
family circle. But there has been an ac
cident down at Long Branch. The young
man ventured too far out in the surf. The
telegraph hurled the terror up to the city.
An earthquake struck under the founda-
tion of that beautiful home.
The piano closed; the curtains dropped;
the laughter hushed. Crash !go all those
domestic hopes and prospects and expec
tations. So, my friends, we have all felt
the shaking down of some great trouble,
and there was a time when we were as
much excited as this man of the text, and
we cried out as he did; “What shall I
do! What shall I do!” The same reply
that the apostle made to him is appro
priate to l us: “Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
There are some documents of so little
importance that you do not care to put
any more than your last name under
them, or even your initials; but there
are some documents of so great impor
tance that you write out your full name.
So the Saviour in some parts of the Bible
is called “Lord,” and in other parts of the
Bible he is called “Jesus,” and in other
parts of the Bible he is called "Christ;”
but that there might be no mistake about
thi9 passage, ail three names come
together—“ The Lord Jesus Christ.”
Now, who is this being that you want
me to trust in and believe in ? Men some
times come to me with credentials and
certificates of good character, but I can
not trust them. There is some dishon
esty in their looks that makes me know
that 1 shall be cheated if I confide in
them. You cannot put your heart's con
fidence in a man until you know what
stuff he is made of, and am I unreason
able when 1 stop to ask you who this is
that you want me to trust in: No man
would think of venturing his life ou a
vessel going out to sea that had never
been inspected.
No, you must have the certificate hung
amidships, telling how many tons it car
ries, and how long ago it was built, and
who built it, and all about it. And you
cannot expect me to risk the cargo of my
immortal interests on hoard any craft till
you tell me what it is made of, and where
it was made, and what it is.
When, then. 1 ask you who this is you
want me to trust in, you tell me he is a
very attractive person. Contemporary
writers describe his whole appearance as
being resplendent. There was no need for
Christ to tell the children to come to him.
“Suffer littlo children to come unto me,”
was not spoken to the children; it was
spoken to the disciples. The children
i came readily enough without any invita
tion. No sooner did Jesus appear,
than the little ones jumped from
their mothers’ arms, an avalanche
of beauty and love, into his lap, Christ
did not ask John to put his head down on
his bosom ; John could not help but put
his head there. I suppose a look at Christ
was just to love him. How attractive his
manner! Why, when they saw Christ
coming along the street, they ran into
their houses, and they wrapped up their
InvT’.ids as quick as they could, and
brought them out that he might look at
them. O, there was something so pleas
ant. so inviting-, so cheering in everything
he d ! d, in his very look. When these sick
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1894.
ones were brought out did he say: “Do
not bring before me these sores; do not
trouble me with these leprosies?” No,
no: there was a kind look, tbere was a
gentle word, there was a healing touch.
They could not keep away from him.
In addition to this softness of charac
ter there was a fiery momentum. How
the kings of the earth turned pale. Here
is a plain man with a few sailors at his
back, coming oft the sea of Galilee, going
up to the palace of the Ca sars, making
that palace quake to the foundations, and
uttering a word of mercy and kindness
which throbs through all the earth, and
through all the heavens, and through all
ages. Oh, he was a loving Christ. But
it was not effeminacy or insipidity of
character; it was accompanied with
majesty, infinite and omnipotent. Lest
the world should not realize his earnest
ness this Christ mounts the cross.
You say; “if Christ has to die, why
not let him take-some deadly potion and
lie on a couch in some bright and beauti
ful home. If he must die, let him expire
amid all kindly attentions.” No, the
world must hear the hammers on the
heads of the spikes. The world must
listen to the death-rattle of the sufferer.
The world must feel his warm blood drop
ping on each cheek, while it looks up into
the face of his anguish. And so the cross
must be lifted, and a bole is dug on the
top of Calvary.
It must be dug three feet deep, and
then the cross is laid on the ground, and
the sufferer is stretched upon it, and the
nails are pounded through nerve aud mus
cle ahd bone, through the right hand,
through the left hand; and then they
shake his right hand to see if it is fast,
and they heave up the wood, half a dozen
shoulders under the weight, and they put
the end of the cross to the mouth of the
hole, and they plunge it in, all the weight
of his body coming down for the first time
on the spikes; and while some hold the
cross upright, others throw in the dirt
and trample it down, and trample it hard.
Oh, plant that tree well and thoroughly,
for it is to bear fruit such as no otber
tree ever bore. Why did Christ endure
it ! He could have taken those rocks an and
with them crushed his crucifiers. He
could have reached up and grasped the
sword of the Omnipotent God and with
one clean cut have tumbled them into
perdition. But no; he was to die. He
must die. His life for your life. In a
European city a young man died on the
scaffold for the crime of murder. Some
time after the mother of this young man
was dying, and the priest came
in, and she made confession to
the priest. that she was the
murderer, and not her sou: in a
moment of anger she had struck her hus
band a blow that slew him. The soa
came suddenly into the room and was
washing away the wounds and trying to
resuscitate his father, when someone
looked through the window and saw him,
and supposed him to be the criminal.
That young man died for his own mother.
You say, “it was wonderful that he never
exposed her.” But 1 tell you of a grander
thing. Christ, the Son of God, died not
for his mother, not for his father, but for
his sworn enemies. Oh, such a Christ as
that—so loving, so patient, so self-sacri
ficing-can you not trust him?
I think there are many under the influ
ence of the Spirit of God who are saying,
“I will trust him if you will only tell me
how,” and the great question asked by
many is, “How? how?” And while I an
swer your question I look up aud utter
the prayer which Rowland Hill so often
uttered in the midst of his sermons.
"Master, help!” How are you to trust in
Christ ?
Just as you trust any one. You trust
your partner in business with important
things. If a commercial house gives you
a note payable three months hence, you
expect the payment of that note at
the end of three months. You have
perfect confidence in their word
and in their ability. Or again, you
go home to-day. You expect there will
be food on the table. You have confidence
in that. Now, I ask you to have the same
confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ. He
says, "You believe; I take away your
sins; and they are all taken away.
“What!” you say, “before I pray any
more? before I read my Bible any more?
before I erv over my sins anymore?”
Yes, this moment. Believe with all your
heart and you are saved. Why, Christ is
only waiting to get from you what you
give to scores of people every day. What
is that? Confidence. If these people
whom you trust day by day are more
worthy than Christ, if they are more
faithful than Christ, if they have done
more than Christ ever did, then give
them the preference; but if you really
think that Christ is as trustworthy as
they are, then deal with Him as fairly.
“Oh,” says someone in a light way, “I
believe that Christ was born in Bethle
hem, and I believe that he died on the
cross.” Do you believe it with your head
or your heart? I will illustrate the dif
ference. You are in your own house. In
the morning you open a newspaper aud
you read how Capt. Braveheart on the
sea risked his life for the salvation of his
passengers. You say, “What a grand
fellow he must have been! His family
deserves very well of the country.” You
fold the newspaper and sit down at the
table, and perhaps do not think of that
incident again. That is historical faith.
But now you are on the sea. and it is
night, and you are asleep, and you are
awakened by the shriek of “Fire!” You
rush out ou the deck. You hear, amid
the wringing of the hands and the faint
ing, theory: “No hope! No hope!” We
are lost! we are lost! The sail puts out
its wing of fire, the ropes make a burning
ladder in the night heavens, the spirit of
wrecks hisses in the wave, and on the
hurricane deck shakes out its banner of
smoke and darkness. “Down with the
life boats!” cries the captain. "Down
with the life boats!” People rush into
them. The boats are about full. Room
onlv for one more man. You are standing
ou the deck beside the captain.
Who shall it be? You or the captain?
The captain says, "You.” You jump and
are saved. He stands there and dies.
Now, you believe that Capt. Braveheart
sacrificed himself for his passengers, but
,\ou believe it with love, with tears, with
hot and long-continued exclamations;
with grief at his loss and joy at your de
liverance. That is saving faith. In other
words, what you believe with all the
heart and believe in regard to yourself.
On this hinge turns my sermon? aye, the
salvation of your immortal soul. You
often go across a bridge you know nothing
about. You do not kuow who built the
bridge, you do not know what material
it is made of; but you come
to it, and walk over it,, and ask no ques
tions. And here is an arched bridge
blasted lrotn the "Rock of Ages.” And
built by the architect of the whole uni
verse. spanning the dark gulf between sin
and righteousness, aud alt God asks you
is to walk across it; and you start, and
you come to it, and you stop, and you go
a little way on and you stop, and you fall
back, and you experiment. You say,
“How do I know that bridge will hold
me?” instead of marching on with firm
step, asking no questions, but feeling that
the streugth of the eternal God is under
you.
Oh, was there ever a prize proffered so
cheap as pardon and heaven are offered to
you? For how much? A million dollars?
It is certainly worth more than that. But
chcuper than that you have it. Ten
thousund dollars! Less than that. Five
thousand dollars' Less that that. One
dollar’ Less than that. One farthing!
1-ess than that. “Without money and
without price.” No money to pay. No
journey to take. • N’o penance to suffer.
Only just one decisive action of the soul:
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, anil
thou shalt be saved.”
Shall I try to tell you what it is to be
saved? I cannot tell you. No mau.no
angel, can tell you. But 1 can hint at it.
For my text brings me up to this point.
“Thou shalt be saved.” It moaus a nappy
life here, aud a peaceful death and a tiiiss-
ful eternity. It is a grand thing to go to
sleep at night, and to get up in the morn
ing, and to do business all day feeling
that all is right between my heart and
God. No accident, no sickness, no perse
cution. no peril, no sword can do me any
permanent damage. I am a forgiven
child of God, and be is bound to see me
through. He has sworn he will see me
through. The mountains may depart,
the earth may burn, the light of the
stars may be blown out by the blast
of the judgment hurricane: but life and
death, things present and things to come,
are mine. Yea, further than that—it
means a peaceful death. Mrs. Hemans.
Mrs. Sigourney, Dr. Young, and almost all
the poets hare said handsome tnings
about death. There is nothing beautiful
about it. When we stand bv the white
and rigid features ot those whom we love,
ana they give no answering pressure of
the hand, and no returning kiss of the
lip, we do not want anybody poetizing
around about us. Death is loathsomeness,
and midnight and the wringing of the
heart until the tendrils snap aud
curl in the torture, unless Christ shall be
with us. I confess to you an infinite fear,
a consuming horror of death, unless
Christ shall be with me. I would rather
go down into a cave of wild beasts or a
jungle of reptiles than into the grave, un
less Christ goes with me. Will you tell
me that lam to be carried out from my
bright home and put away in the dark
ness? 1 caunot bear darkness. At the
first coming of the evening 1 must have
the gas lighted, and the farther on in life
I get the more I like to have my friends
round about me.
And am I to be put off for thousands of
years in a dark place, with no one to
speak to? When the holidays come, and
the gifts ard distributed, shall i add no
joy to the “Merry Christinas,” or the
"Happy New Year?” Ah, do not point
down to the hole in the ground, the
grave, and call it a beautiful place; un
less there be some supernatural illumina
tion 1 shudder back from it. My whole
nature revolts at it. But now this glor
ious lamp is lifted above the grave, and
all the darkness is gone, and the way is
clear. 1 look into it now without a single
shudder. Now my anxiety is not about
death; my anxiety is that I may live
aright, for I know that if my life is con
sistent when 1 come to the last hour, and
this voice is silent, and these eyes are
closed, and these hands with which I beg
for your eternal salvation to-day are
folded over the stiil heart, that then I
shall only begin to live.
What power is there in anything to
chill me iu the last hour if Christ wraps
around me the skirt of his own garment?
What darkness can fall upon my eyelids
then, amid the heavenly daybreak. O
Death, I will not fear thee then. Back
to thy cavern of darkness, thou robber of
all the earth. Flv. thou despoiler of
families. With this battle-ax I hew thee
in twain from helmet to sandal, the voice
of Christ sounding all over the earth and
through the heavens; “O Death, I will
be thy plague. O Grave, I will be thy de
struction.”
To be saved is to wake up in the pres
ence of Christ. You know wnen Jesus
was upon the earth how happy he made
every house he went into, and when he
brings us up to his house in heaven how
great shall bo our glee. His voice has
more music in it than is to be heard in all
the orators of eternity. Talk not about
banks dashed with efflorescence. Jesus
is the chief bloom of heaven. We shall
see the very face that beamed sympathy
in Bethany, and take the very hand that
dropped its blood from the short beam of
the cross. Oh, I want to stand in eternity
with him. Toward that harbor I steer.
Toward that goal I run. I shall be satis
fied when I awake in his likeness.
Oh, broken-hearted men and women,
how sweet it will be in that good land to
pour all of your hardships and bereave
ments and losses into the loving ear of
Christ, aud then have dim explain why it
was best for you to be sick, and why it
was best for you to be widowed, and why it
was best for you to be persecuted, and
why it was best for you to be tried, and
have him point to an elevation propor
tionate to your disquietude here, saying,
“You suffered with me on earth, come up
now and be glorified with me in heaven.”
Someone went into a house where
there had been a good deal of trouble,
and said to the woman there, “You seem
to be lonely.” "Yes.” she said, “I am
lonely.” "How many in the family?”
“Only myself.” “Have you had any
children?” “I had seven children.”
“Whereare they?” “Gone.” "All gone?”
“All.” “All dead?” “All.” Then she
breathed a long sigh into the loneliness,
and said, “Oh, sir, I have been a good
mother to the grave.”
And so there are hearts here that are
utterly broken down by the bereave
ments of life. I point you to-day to the
eternal balm of heaven. Oh. aged men
and women who have grown iu grace to
three score years and ten! will not your
decrepitude change for the leap of a
hart when you come to look face
to face upon him whom having
not seen you love? Oh, that will be
the Good Shepherd, not out in the
night and watching to keep off the
wolves, but with the lamb reclining on
the sunlit hill. That will be the captain
of our salvation, not amid the roar and
crash and boom of battle, but amid his
disbanded troops keepiug victorious fes
tivity. That will be the bridegroom of
the Church coming from afar, the bride
leaning upon his arm while he looks down
into her face and says, “Behold, thou art
fair, my love! Behold, thou art fair!”
A Counterfeit Bill Afloat.
Waycross, Ga., Sept. 2.—A man named
Bennett, from near Millwood, Ga., passed
a 85 counterfeit bill last night in a trade
with Mrs. Cottingham, the milliner. He
had bought a hat and handed Mrs. Cot
tingham the bogus bill. He said his
name was Tom Watson. It was discov
ered that the bill was counterfeit and the
youngster attempted to escape. He left
ostensibly in search of a drink of water
and started to leave town, but was halted.
He had several genuine bills and
claimed that the counterfeit bill had
been paid to him without his knowledge
of its worthlessness. Mrs. Cottingham
accepted his explanation and permitted
him to go.

for some time. Prices, however, were
still near the lowest point, especially for
low China cloths and best shirtings.
The home trade showed im
provement with the fine weather,
new orders being given with
greater freedom Moderate orders were
taken for South America and Egypt.
Yarns dragged in spite of the lessened
pioduction. Home buyers continued their
hand-to-mouth policy, and of export bun
dles only Indian forties sold fairly well
at rather better limits. Prices were
nominally unchanged throughout.
