A horse attached to a inllk wagon
fell on Clay street early yesterday
morning, and some difficulty was expe-
rienced in getting him on his feet again,
owing to the icy road.
Photographer North amused himself
recently by taking snap-shots with his
little camera from one of his studio
windows,at a gentleman who was shov-
eling snow off his sidewalk across the
street. The latter was caught in a va-

caught onto the photographer’s fun,
and then he quickly vanished out of
sight. .. ..
The reporter is informed by one who

Saturday night the merchants were
busily engaged in endeavoring to clear
the ice off the sidewalks. It was atough
.job, but proved fairly succeSSful. It
was a bad night for pedestrians, and
but few people were seen on the streets,
and the multiplex contortions, sum-
iiiersaults, and thank-ye-moms of some
of those were painfully ludicrous to be-
hold ; but we are glad to note that no
lives were lost.

There were two stereopticon illustra-
ted lectures at the Methodist and Con-
gregational churches respectively last
evening. The subject at the former
was about life and scenes in the South-
ern States, and at the latter, ancient
Pompeii and Vesuvius. They were in-
teresting entertainments—a pleasing
departure from the regular church rou-
tine, which may indicate that the
church authorities have at last become
convinced that ‘ ‘Variety is the spice of
life.”

The GAZETTE did not state, as assert-
ed in Saturday’s Sentinel, that the fin-
ishers ofWilson’s hat shop had nothing
to do with getting up 'the late shop SD‘ —
ciable, but simply as a joke, suggested
to the reporter by one of the makers of
that same shop, did state that the “ma'
hers and finishers would have their
bawl at home.” Since the appearance
oi the item, the reporter has failed to
discover any ‘ ‘aggrieved finisher”'who
is employed at that factory, and does
not believe the Sentinel’s story to be
other than a figment of overweening
imagination. How much sympathy did
the Sentinel manifest for the “aggriev-
ed finishers” and other hatters at the
time of their great strike? Quien sabe?

nearly $20,000 in homes of members in

The funeral of the late Conrad Staab
was held yesterday afternoon and
largely attended. Short services were
held at his late residence, after which
the remains were taken to St. Paul’s
church, where the beautiful Episcopal
ritual of the dead was read by the
rector, Rev. Charles M. Selleck, who
also, in apathetic and eloquent manner,
delivered a eulogy on the sudden taking
off of the deceased. The choir feeling-
ly sang “Rock of Ages,” and “Nearer
My God to Thee.” Delegations from Our
Brothers’ Lodge, I. O. O. F.; Kabaosa
Encampment, Patriarchs Militant; the
Germania Szengerbund and Heine’s
Band were present, and filled the main
body of the Church. and marched to
the grave in Union Cemetery, the
band heading the procession and play.
ing funeral dirges from the Church to
the last resting—place of the deceased.
At the grave, the solemn funeral obse-
quies of the Odd Fellows were perform—
ed, Gen. Charles Olmstead officiating
as Chaplain. The Obsequies were con—
cluded by the band playing a funeral
dirge. The pallbearers were brother
Odd Fellows of deceased and members
of Our Brothers’ Lodge, as follows:
William A. Benedict, Anton Stommell,
Arthur C. \Vheeler, Bert Kemp, John
H. Wade and John A. Camp.
The esteem in which the deceased
was held was amply demonstrated by
the large turnout of members of the
various societies to which Mr. Staab
belonged as well as the large number
of friends in carriages.

A large congregation assembled last
evening at the Second Methodist
church, to hear Rev. Dr. VanAlstyne
on Euchre, \Vest Avenue and Heaven.
He took his text from III Romans,
part of the second verse.
He said that “Euchre was reported
to have originated in Louisiana and
Pennsylvania, but the Lord only knew
where and I don’t care.” He desired
to preach of the evils Of card playing
to Christians, and not to sinners. Old
amusements were obsolete, and the
inventive age suggested new ones.
Cards were the tools of gamblers, and
Christians should not fish up games
from ‘such a source, nor should they
sanction the use of them. The famili-
arity of cards learned at home frequent-
ly paved the way to their use in ques-
tionable places. The playing of cards
was a questionable use of valuable time
which should be used in preparing for
Heaven, and the pleasures of society
were often sinful in the eyes of God,
and it made no difference whether play-
ed in a home without carpets or ina
gilded palace. The expert knowledge
of gamblers’ tools was often used in
other places, and he cited as an in-
stance, a Norwalk commuter on the N.
Y., N. H. & H. railroad, who boasted
that he had won enough money on the
trains to pay his commutation ticket.
The good Doctor will “Waltz” East
avenue next Sunday evening.

Constitutional Amendments Void.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 19,—The state Senate
has discovered that the constitutional
amendments adopted by the last legislat.
ure are void because of not being signed by
both presiding officers nor filed with the
state secretary. The amendments provide
for increasing the terms of the county and
state oflicers to four years, and to prohibit
two successive terms; making all able
bodied men members of militia; making a
' year’s residence in the state necessary to a
vote; increasing the number of supreme
court judges from five to nine, and increas-
ing the length of terms to eight years;
paying members of the legislature fixed
salaries and removing limit of length of
sessmn, and putting regulations of law
practice into the hands of the legislature.
Senator_ Teller Called Home.
DENVER, J an. 19.~A number of tele-
grams have been sent from here to Senator
Teller urging him to come at once to this '
city, as his chances of re-election to the
United States senate are in danger. Sena,-
tor Teller is now in lVashington. There
is little doubt, however, of SeuatorTeller’s
re-election. While there is a factions)
fight in the Republican ranks it is believed
it will in no way interfere with the sons.-
tor’s chances, and that he will undoubtedly
be elected, as every Republican member 01
both houses will certainly vote for him-0n
Tuesday next when the election takes
place. The Republican majority on joint
ballot will be fifty.
Crushed Under Tons of Iron.
PITTSBURG, J an. 19,—Audrew Ken mire,
foreman; James Newgent and John Mul-
lier, laborers, were wOrking with a large
crane in Carnegie’s Twenty—ninth street
mill hoisting a massive casting of several
tons weight. When several feet from the
ground the chain broke. All three men
were caught under the casting; Kenmire
received injuries from which'he died a few
hours later. Newgent’s feet were crushed
and he was otherwise seriously hurt. Mul-
lier’s thighs were crushed and he received
internal injuries. He will probably die.

MACON, Ga., J an. 19.—An 01d ‘ and help-
less Confederate soldier named John
VVoodson was burned to death at Caving-
ton Saturday. He occupied an upper room
in John Davis’ house, which was totally
destroyed by fire before help could reach
the old veteran, and he was literally cre.
mated in his bed. Mrs. Davis rushed intc
the flaming building And; catching her'in-
firm husband in her arms, threw him out
of the window, saving his life, and then
she barely escaped with her own.
