I iither Ituchul 1'rcachcd u Stirring Ser mon ut tlio .Mission I list Night on the Punishment of the Wicked. Father Huchulz delivered the sermon at the mission at the cathedral lust nlKlit and spoke on the subject of Hell. He treuteil his text with firm p(Muiliut and deeply Impressed his heurers with the earnestness of Ills Ionic, uml argu ment. The khoJ will be rewarded, the speak er snld. and the wicked will !' pun ished, dod will reward those who keep I I In coinmundinents unci lie just us surely will visit dire punishment on those who break his con)in;indmen;t. Heaven will lie the ulildlllK: place of the Just and hell will be the portion of the damned. There Is no lire on this world like the tlumcs of hell; there Is no torture in this life comparable with the iiKiinlziiiR mid everlustliijf pains of the Inl'ernul regions. Father liucholz spoke of the man who scoli's at hell uml dlsclulms I hut there is such a place; the sunn man will con sole himself thut there Is a heaven. 1L will believe there Is a heaven because It Is easy to salve one's conscience with a pleasant thought. Although (iod has snld that there Is u hell the skeptic per similes himself that there Is not. The Scriptures a hound with passages cur roboratin.tr the fact thut there Is a hell, and yet the man says no. Notwith standing; that the Scripture contain this one sentence, which In Itself Is suffi cient, "Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting flames," etc., the man still says no. and the reason he says there is no hell Is because the wish Is father of the thought. He Is troubled with his conscience and would like to delude himself Into believing that there Is no future punishment and to get other per sons to thing the same ns he does. Angels Will Turn Hack. The home of the wicked Is larger than a boundless ocean und Is filled with liv ing lire, on the Inst day there will be scenes that will make the angels turn back in dismay. There will be general re cognition, the hypocrites will be ex posed and the pure of heart will receive n Mown of glory. The good will be sep arated from the wicked and in that sep aration will be Involved the parting of, perhaps, the husband and wife, mother fr-.m daughter, father from son, brother from brother and sister from sister. And whole families may go down to hell together. The husband will lay the blame upon his wife, she will charge him with being the cause of her ruin; the children will hurl blasphemies nt the beads of their parents nnd curse them with unstinted venom for being the cause of bringing them into this world. Companions will accuse each other and unspeakable consternation will be their lot for all eternity. Tho fires of hell will never quench, never fcrow cold, and out of hell there Is no redemption. Acceptable Time at Hand. Father Bucholz told his hearers that now Is the acceptable time, all should make the mission well. God does no: want to condemn man, rather he de sires lo see htm do penance and llt't1. The sermon was concluded with a most touching invitation to the people to amend their lives by returrltig to OjiI In the sacrament of penarce. Father Ncumueller will speak this tvenlng. FATHER DOYLE AT MINOOKA. Iloquent Temperance OrutorWas Heard at St. Joseph's Church Last Nlghl. Long- before 8 o'clock last evening It was Impossible to gain admittance to Si. Joseph's church, Mln.joka, vhere I!ev. A. P. Doylj lej'.uivJ nn total f.t Bt.t.ince. At the S o'clock m.iss yc-sh i day morning Rev. John Loughran, the pastor, addressed the congregation briefly and bespoke an enthusiastic re ception for Father Doyle. St. Joseph's Father Mathew and Cadet societies oc cupied the front pews In the center aisle; the remainder of the church was at the liberty of the rest of the congre gation. The lecture was listened to with close attention from the beginning to Its eon elusion. The drink evil was discussed In all Its phases, and Its worst feature, the speaker suld, was Its prevalence. The ravages of drink are not to be won dered nt; because drink destroys every thing in Its path, but something must be done to check the spreading growth of the evil. Father Doyle told some touching stories of scenes thnt crossed his path In his travels through this country. He branched off to a review of the situation from a medical stand point and quoted opinions to show that alcohol taken Into the system In any shape or form Is detrimental to hygiene. The lecturer prayed that his address might prove of value to some of his hearers who would be persuaded to take the pledge In honor of the sacred thirst of Jesus on the cross.. Benediction closed the services of the evening. To night Futher Doyle will lecture at St. Patrick's church, West Side, and this will be his last. He will return home tomorrow afternoon to New York city. Sleuths I ndor Arrest. New York, Feb. 27.

FELL THROUGH SIX STORIES When Picked I p for Dead the Blood Plowed from His Knrs and Mouth I.y lug in a Stupor at tho I.acka wanna Hospital. An Iron worker or "rigger" fell from the sixth floor of the new Hotel Jermyn building yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. His name Is James Jordan, known as "Sailor," and he has a wife and three children living ut Oarbon dale. After being treated by Dr. J. K. Hayes, assisted by Dr. Snyder, he was tuken to the Lackawanan hos pttul. At a lute hour last night he had not gained consciousness uml the opin ion was that he would not recover. Jordan was working with several others putting iron trusses In position on the sixth floor, over seventy feet from the ground, and in the center of the building. Their support was n skeleton flooring of heavy planks. Jordan stood erect and shuttled back ward along u plank In order to get 'a better hold on a small piece of Iron. He backed off Into space and excluinied "My God!" as the true nature of the horrible accident dawned upon lilin. That was probably bis last conscious moment. As he shot downward his body turned slightly, bringing his fen uppermost. For the first two stories of his fall noth ing impeded Ills progress. The body hud gained a frightful velocity when, us the fourth floor was reached, the heels and lower legs struck un Iron truss which sent him whirling' round and round like a circus tumbler. Striking Ileum un J Planks. In the descent through the remaining space Jordan's body struck either a plank or an Iron bi-am on each floor, not squarely but In sueh a manner that the whirling motion was either reversed or Increased. The awful flight through space ended with n sickening thud on a small pile of Iron and heavy stones, Jordan fell on the back of his head and shoulders, but the force was so great as to flop him over on his stomach and face. In this position he was picked up for dead and carried to the small engine room, where It was found that blood was flowing from the ears and mouth. Dr. Hayes responded in less than five minutes and gar hyperthymics of strychnia und morphia and adminis tered ammonia and brandy Internally. Rev. Father Ml I lane, of the cathedral, had been sent for and administered the last sacraments of the church. Jordan was bnrely alive when placed In the hospital ambulance. lie had sus tained many Internul Injuries of a na ture which could not be exactly de termined; his right arm and left leg were broken, and his skull Is fractured at the base. This is the first serious accident that has happened In the erection of the towering Hotel Jermyn structure. About six weeks ago a workman fell but caught his arm over a rod after descending about fourteen feet, and was safely helped from his perilous position. Councils .May Take Action. The horrible fall of a workman on the Hotel Jermyn building yesterday has suggested an Important addition to the building laws. Several councilmen and city officials Informally discussed the Incident, and it Is probable that at the next meeting of select council Mr. JIanley will offer a building laws amendment providing that in the erec tion of Bteel framed buildings a tem porary floor of heavy planking shall be laid on each floor us the structure progresses upward. If the planks are left unfastened they can be removed in certain spots when It Is necessary to hoist heavy Iron or timber. It is explained that the amend ment will give the workmen more con fidence and protect those on the lower floors from the occasional falls of heavy material. 1SRUTAL HUSHAM) JAILED. Thrashed His Wifo and Smashed the Sewing Machine. Lancelot Slowther, of Breaker street, was arrested by Officers Perry and Ileese Jones Tuesday night at the In stance of his wife, who was In fear of her life. The prisoner was brought be fore Alderman Fltzslmmons yesterday morning, but was remanded In order that he might appear before Alderman Wright upon a charge of maliciously smashing a sewing machine loaned to his wife by the Standard Sewing Ma chine company. Mrs. Slowther ap peared before the alderman and said thut her husband declined to work and she was compelled to act us charwoman lo maintain him. He came home on Tuesday night and tlemuntled money, but us she hud none he chased her Into a neighbor's house, threatening to kill her. and afterward returned to his own house and smashed the sewing machine Into fragments. Questioned by the alderman as tu his motive for destroying the furniture he replied, very coolly, "because my wife wouldn't give me money." The alder man committed him to the county Jail In default of ball. LAST EVENT OF THE COURSE Henry 11. Hasan Will Speak About the f ootprints of George Washington.

COMMITTEE'S BIG TASK. Trying to Muko the Appropriations lit tho Expected Revenues of the City for the Coming Flscul Yeur. A considerable umouut of chopping was done last night by the estimates committee of councils, but it will have to do much more before the total of the appropriations and the expected revenue of the city ugree. The total revenues of the city for the next flscul year will be !Ti,8!9 and when the members of the estimates committee took up the appropriation ordinance last night it provided for expending sums aggregating i01,n(jri.8.'i. Chief of Police Simpson addressed the committee and showed the great necessity of a clerk for the police de partment, and the $G00 to pay his salary was restored to the ordinance against the protest of Victor Lauer, who thought that the mayor's clerk should ulso act as clerk of the police depart ment. On motion of James Manley the sum of $1,000 taken at a previous meet ing from the sum for repair of asphalt pavements was restored, and the cltv assessors were allowed $600 for clerk hire instead of $240. Then the pruning begun. The Inci dental and Judgment fund was reduced from $30,000 to 15,000, and the Item for the purchase of hose reduced from $1,000 to $.".00. It was decided to allow $250 instead of $000 for pulling appar atus to llres and the sum of $1100 for rent of Nay Aug steamer was wiped out, as It is the intention to purchase the steamer from the Citizens' Fire asso ciation. On motion of Mr. Lauer the sum of $.1,461.74 for the payment of the claim of the Providence and Abington Turnpike was stricken out of the ordi nance. That reduced the amount of the appropriations to $281,904.11, but there will have to be a still further cut ting of $0,005.11, Another meeting will be held next Monday night. Before the committee adjourned the following requests were made for fur ther appropriations: For four electric lights In N'lneteenth ward, two for the Twentieth and one for the Second ward. A flre alarm box was also asked for the Second ward. Mr. Xoone wants $300 for the repair of a culvert In the Kighteenth ward, and appropriations are asked for permanent men for the Cumberland, Excelsior and Century Hose, companies, as well as $50 for key boards at fire alarm boxes. T. J. Coyne asked for $2,000 f for opening Palm street. If these nre allowed there will be a further increase In the appro priation ordinance of about $5,000. Lecture This l.vcnlng. Rev. W. H.

AUSTRALIAN'S MONEY IS DIE But the Pompadour Will Not Quibble Over Such Trifles-Says the Mill Will llo Pulled Off in I lorlda-Roast for Jackson. James J. Corbett, the champion pugi list of the world, with his theatrical company, was here yesterday and pre sented the B-nct drama, "Gentleman Jack," to a. packed house at the Acad emy of Music last night. After meeting and talking with the famous heavy-weight, one would feel more constrained to mention him as "pugilist" than us "lighter." In his conversation und manner he bears out much of what has been written of him as a man educated and possessed of an intellect considerably above the man of the prize ling. F.ven his physical appearance, at a cursory glance, does not suggest the spectacle of a lighter "giving uml taking" In a 24-foot rope less arena. Hut to u student of physi ognomy, ufter the first glance and handshake Is over, the Ineffucable traits and physical proportions of the lighter are stamped on Corbett from his waist upward, About Ills Appeurance. His shoulders nre broad; chest Is full; firm hard bunches of muscle rise across his upper back; his neck Is large beyond all proportion, and his small head contains a forehead low und nar row. C'orbett's face prominent feat ured, somewhat refined, nearly always smiling, and witli black eyes that con stantly sparkle and light up C'orbett's face nnd his pleasant open manner, yeB, and his mellow voice, are whut have in part won for him his popularity and a repututlon for being a gentleman. A Tribune reporter interviewed the champion In his dressing room at the Academy. He made no hesitancy in talking of his much-heralded match with Fitzsimmons and had some forci ble things to say of Jackson. "When the Fitssslmmoits artlcl 's were signed my complete f in'eit of SIO.PJO was posted by Mr. I trad y. Fitzsimmons' third deposit of $2,500 wa:i to be paid Phil Uwyer Feb. 1. lie lias not yet paid It. Now, if I didn't want to meet Fitzsimmons all I would have to do would be to claim what forfeit money he has deposited, and let the fight go. So that settles it as far as my anxiety to meet Fitzsimmons Is concerned." Corbett winked knowingly and smiled when asked if the battle could be pulled off in Florida and said, "I think so." Anxious To Meet Jackson. Concerning Jackson, Corbett re marked that he was perfectly willing to meet the antipodean. He said: "I even visited Jackson In his room In New York and urged him to make a match with me. lie never has tried to do so, nor do I believe he will. I blame Parson Davies. , his manager, however, more than Jackson. They could ruin me financially and smirch my claim as champion If they chal lenged me, and I refused to consider them. Now, you may o.uote me us say Ing mind 1 have only been accused In Chicago of being a boaster that I will give $"i,000 to any o,ualitled person who will bring Jackson 'to a ring to fight for stakes of $20,000 a Bide. "Money Is what I am after, not glory, I have hail sufficient of that." After the interview there was left the Impression that Corbett is not a bra Bart, nor a man In whose presence a person's mouth should stand agape, As an actor, there are professionals who could get points from the pugilist. He has evidently been nn apt histrionic pupil and appears oPten during the whole of 'the play, which fact seemed to Impress the audience that Corbett Is not so very bad as a real flesh and blood "play actor." The play Itself Is tiresome and Im possible and would produce a serious ennui but for the clever introduction of some redeeming specialties and the frequent appearance of the modern gladlator-actor.

The running of coal trains on the northern division of the Delaware, Lackwanna und Western has fallen off slightly during the past few days, but this has been more than balanced by Increased business In the southern divi sion. The "Big Four" runs a train called the Knickerbocker special, between St. Louis and Clevdund, B4S miles, at a speed of forty miles per hour, Including stops. During a period of three months the train Is said to have been on time ninety-nine trips out of a hundred. An excellent little book, entiled "Safety In Travel," has been Issued by the Chi sapeuke and Ohio railroad, the purport of which Is to show the Im mense value of the Railroad Young Men's Christian associations to rail road companies. The book describes a Journey along that road and the influ ence of the associations In Improving the standard of the employes, and fully achieves the object for which it was written. To those interested In the work, such u book Is absolutely un necessary, as there Is abundant proof in our own city of the incalculable benelits derived from the local associa tion in entirely re-modelling the daily lives of many railroaders who now ure employes of whom any company might well be proud. The associations not only develop the Intellectual man In several departments of knowledge, but materially assist him In becoming a sound Christian and a responsible citi zen.
