Brother Gardner and several other steadfast friends of the pastor sat in the ''Amen corner," close to the pulpit; As had been agreed to at the meeting of the deaeona. Brother Craig and Carter ascended the rostrum in front of the pulpit and took charge of the services. This is the offlCe and the duty of the deacons In the absence of the officiating clergyman. Deacon Craig reverently opened and raised the Bible to begin the service of the day. His face was calm and solemn. He glanoad warily, however, ia the direction Of Brother John Gardner, the president of the board of trustees, whose presence was a surprise and boded HU No sooner had ha begun the reading than Brother Gardner sprang from his seat, rushed to the rostrum, struck Deacon Craig a stunning blow in the face with his clutched the Bible, and strove to wrcet it from the deacon's hands. Deacon Craig waa taken by surprise, and for a moment Brother Gardner was the hotter man. For an instant he had a sacred book in his grasp, but he did not retain his advantage. Deacon Craig gathered himself together, shook his assailant off, and, putting up hi* fiste.'stood on the defensive. Tha sisters In tha front pew* roes to their feet, and the uproar axtended to every part of*lah ehnroh. In a twinkling the aisles wars gorged with a throng of friends and foae of the deacon.

The building has a frontage of 125 feet on the •venae and* depth of 185 feet, the rear end opening upon au alley leading from Third taKour-eiil-a-r.ilf Kticot A small portion of the rear wall first gave way and a general collapse of the whole roar portion Immediately followed, sending up a great e!oudCu£dnst. A general fire alarm was sotufeC*£ wfcfch brought to the soene of the dlsnxter a number of lire engines and hook rn.t ladder companies and a force of police.

Thia medicine is mM werywhere by druggiaU. ;u |(ju| & w Mr. Seaoord, of Qaloeburg, IU., who was a passenger on the Lydian Monarch, boarded the AnCtral. He narrates that after leaving London the Lydian Monarch experienced some rather severe weather. Everything went along very well, however, until tl o'clock on the evening of July 85. At that time when the saloon passengers were at dinner a sharp, quick explosion waa heard, terrifying many of the passengers and shaking the steamer as violently as 'though she had struck upon af hidden rock. The chief engineer rushed promptly to the engine room, tlie passengers hastily following him. There was for a brief space of time very considerable excitement until it was discovered that the damage was confined altogether to the bursting of acylinder. All efforta to repair the damage failed, as wall as attempts which were made to work the low-pressure engine. Notwithstanding all the available canvas was set, the steamer' made very HtMo head way owing to the long prevalence of a northwest wind, and for six day* the Lydian Monarch drifted helpless in the trough of the sea. On Thursday, the 31st of July, the British steamer Iowa, from Liverpool July 83. for Boston, was signaled. Signals of distress wore displayed, and the Iowa ltiramiag up within hailing distance, the captaia of the disabled steamer boarded the Iowa to arrange for having that steamer tow the Lydian Monarch into port To the great, disappointment of the Lydiaa Mosyurch passengers the captain informed taiaa, when he returned, that the sum danaaded by the Iowa for performing the services required was fabulous, and the Lydiaa Monarch was unable to even dream of coaeaattag to such towage rates.

Neither was found to work well, and .ramming the ice produced the beat resulK Backing tha Thetis a good distance, and putting on a full head of steam, she woald crash into the ice, the shock shaking her from stem to stern, and rocking ber masts like tree boughs. Sometimes it seemed as though the masts would aome out. Whan all other means failed, an iC» saw, eighteen feet long, with teeth three inches long, waa used. It was rigged to a winch forward and driven by staam, making three feat headway per hour. The ice at Melville bay was mainly broken by renaming after checking their advance for ten days. High at the main of each vessel is the "crow's nest," where a lookout waa kept Commander Hchley probably occupied that on the Thetis longer than any other man, his meals being often served to him there. Nauman, the ice pilot, was also a frequent occupant Two hoars in the nest waa a watch, and at the great altitude above the daefc it waa eotmetimes a terribly cold sentry box. After entering the regions where it was supposed Gresly might be the heavy bus whistles ware continually blown. Gn the night of tha rseone a terrible gule swept the Arctic nreaa, and tho Thetis, though near land, haalaa over again aad again before the teinpeet The Thetis did nearly all the heavy work for tha advance through the ioe, and shows soma marks of the voyage.

Over half of the beautiful, thriving little village was a mnC8 of smoking ruins, the fire having rnged without check for nearly fonr hours. The blaze broke out in tlie Willey block, a three-story wooden structuro, which was quickly consumed, and tlie flames then swopt, before a strong east wind, over the whole south side of the town, licking up all In its course.

The chief engineer rushed promptly to the engine room, tlie passengers hastily following him. There was for a brief space of time very considerable excitement until it was discovered that the damage was confined altogether to the bursting of acylinder. All efforta to repair the damage failed, as wall as attempts which were made to work the low-pressure engine.
