ON THE RAILROAD YESTERDAY A Droadful Warning to tho Rod Bridge Gang Ono of Their Numbo;1 Mado a Oripplo for Life. P terrlMe example? have any elf-ct the day for tho dissolution of the rod bridge gang should bo hear at hand. One of the members met with an accident early yestor- day morriinir that should strike terror to the hearts of his companions and cause thorn to mend their ways. The victim was Mich sol Byrno, a young man residing in tho First ward. Ho is a cripple for life, having lost his right hand, It seems that tho gang assembled at tho red l;ridge Saturday night and partook freely of a keg of boor. At about two or throe o'clock yostorday morning Byrne left the crowd to make his way home Shortly after ! o'clock yesterday morn ing the early P. & K. freight trains pulled up to the red bridgo to switch on the tracks loading to tho Main stroot depqt. The engineer saw the body of a man lying on' the track ahead of his train. lie reversed his ongine, but was unable to bring the train to a (top. Tho engine slowly ap proachod tho body and tho cow-catcher shoved the man's bead from the track, but thn wheels noised over the victim's richt hand. Tho train was stopped and tbo onginoer and fireman jumped, They picked up tho man. It was Byrno in a stupor. 11 is right hand was crushed to a pulp. Byrno wss taken in charge by his com panionr. The crushing of the hand had brought the young man to bis semes and with the resistance of his friends he walkod to town in search of medical aid. They first called at Dr. Straup'B office, then went to Dr. Kistlor's, to Dr. Stein's then to Dr, Oallen'B and finally back to Dr. Stein's. Upon the second visit to tho tatter's house the callers forced open the door. A great trail of blood marked tbo course the men had taken and immense pools formed wherover they stopped. ' Finally ' Chief of Police Davis tied Byrno's arm above tbe wrist and stopped the How of blood, and Dr. Stein attended tho victim at his homo. An domination of the injuries convinced the doctor that the hand would have to come off and it was at once amputated. To-day Byrno was reportod as doing com paratively woll. One of the doctors who failed to respond to Byrno's call mid yesterday, "Tho crowd that called at my place was in such a con dition that I concludod ono of their num ber had been beaten or otherwise hurt in a drunken brawl and I dcclinod to act in the caso. In almost every instance where we rospond to such calls we not only never get paid for our services, but nro compelled to spend several days at court, for which we got nothing but the regular witness fees and our homo practice must suffer. ' In the Byrne caso, when the crowd was asked the cause of trouble thoy could not answer intelligently, only that 'this feller is hurt.' I concluded it was ono of tbo regulation brawl affairs and would not touch it. Of course, had I known the injury was such as it proved to bo, I would have given temporary servico at once." A prominent gentleman said in connec tion with the case last night: "It is too bad, for tho sake of tho young men as well as the community that something cannot be dono to permanently break up this red bridge gang, I know somo of them and know that when they are at work at tho collieries they behayo well and attend to their duties, but when night comet tho beer flows and then they change. I helievo that if the relatives of tho young men go about tho matter properly they can hold tho parties who furnish the beer responsi ble and thus partly, at least, break up the practice As I understand it, all the mem bers of tho gang 'chip In' for two kegs of beer. One is appointed to wheel tho kegs up to the bridge and tap them, For this service he is not obliged to 'chip in,' Then, I understand, there Is still another arrange ment. The partlos who furnish (he beer have made a bargain by which tLey give a keg of beer for every seven or eight ompty kegs returned; so by tbe twoarrangomonts the gang is kept supplied almost every night. A Human Urate. The residents of East Goal street wit nessed a heavily-booted driver at Bobbins' lumber yard unmercifully kick one of his horses in tho stomach and upon the legs Saturday afterpoon, Tho horses wore unable to pull; tho load at first, but after they succeeded tho human bruto again kicked the animal eovoral times. Hon who treat horses' as that fellow did should neither own or drive them. l'uro and Wholesome Quality Commends to publio approval the Call fornia liquid laxative remedy, Syrup of Figj.

The disaster nt Hridgnnd, nar Glamor gaushire, Walos, has boon the theme oi much conversation among our Wo.lsh citizens who have friends and relatives living there.

Just what the mineral is ho either doesn't know or don't want to give away. However, on the strength of this coming fortune ho has ordered a Hoe printing press nd a lot of new printing material to tho amount of $5,C0O. That is not so very slow, eitbor. lie must have abundant faith In his find. Pitching quoits is a harmless patime and much indulged by tho workingmen, when idle. It is an interos'ting game, too, and one scarcely ever witnesses a disputo among the pitchers. Hand ball is another popular and healthful game, but is not played as much, in town as in past years.

The Complaints of Ilusluoss Men in Proper lluuds. The editorial In the News yesterday oon corning tbe Hkuald'b crusade against tlu pernicious company storo system in town by which legitlmato business mon aro made to suffer is worthy of response In one par ticular and only so far as it may enlighten the public. Tbo Herald oponod tbe crusade upon tho solicitation of business men ho asked that it bo dono to publicly call tho attention of tho P. & K, O. & I. Co, to tbe matter. They stated that when the company appointed the proper parties to Investigate thoy would tell all tbey knew about the systom. The Herald first satisfied itself that there was jut cause for complaint and then oponed fire. What was tbe result 7 Last woek Superinten dent John Veith paid a visit to town. He called upon sovoral of tho complaining business men to learn their grievances. Some of thorn flunked (the town Is full of flunkers) but thore wore others more hon orable who stood by their declarations and told Mr. Yelth frankly and plainly the grounds for their complaints, as set forth in the Herald weeks sgo. And these parties also fulfillod their duty of honor to the Herald by giving the namos of tho parties who left their stores, the reasons thoy gavo for leaving, and tho stores to which they transferred their patronage So the matter stands. Tbe Herald kept Us promise to tbo legitimate business men ; tbe honorable complainants havo placed the facts where they said they would whon tbe proper t!mo would arrive, and tbe whole matter has been investigated by Mr. Veith, Thero is nothing more to bo said or dono now, hut to wait and tee what the P. & It, O. &1.

The sormon in the Methodist Episcopal church on Sunday morning was on "Justification by Works." Th text was from Jamo 2 20-22 "Hut win tnou Knw, O vain man, that faith without wo-ks is dead? Was not Abraham our father juslifiod by works when ho had offered Isaac his Sun upon tho altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works and by work was faith made perfect?" It has boon supposed by some that Paul's doctrine of justification by faith and James' ductrlne of justification by works contradict each other. Properly understood it will be seeu that they really supplement each other. Paul approaches the doctrine front the theological side and James from the practical. More attention has been paid to the apparent difference betwoon tbem than to the substantial agreement. It was Paul who wrote about tbo necessity of being "rich in good wotks" and James who showed tho value of being "rich in faith." Paul wrote to penitont sinners who were asking "what must I do to be saved" and wbo were being harrassed by Judaizing teachers who offered tbo empty ceremonies of a dead formalism as tbe remedy for sin, hence ho showed that men were "justified by faith without tbe doods of the law." James wrote to self-righteous professors wbo thought and taught that it made no difference how tboy lived if only they believed aright, hence in his treatment of tbe same subject he showed that "by woiks a man is justified and not by faith only." This is in strict accord with Paul's doctrine in tbe passage "not the hearors of the law aro just before God, but the doers of the law shall he justified." There are two opposite poles of thought irom which wo are in oqual danger to-day, viz: "That it makos no difference what ono believes if only his life is right" and "that it makes no difference what sort of a life one leads if only his creed Is right " Paul gives us tbe antidolo to one and James gives tbo antidote to tbe other. It may be denied that anybody knows such views. But if they do not thoso are' the logical outcome of many views that aro being taught. In our efforts to get away 'from legalism religion is in danger of being regarded not as a life but an experience. And in tbe world's horror of creeds and dogmas essential truth the only thing out of which enduring character can be built is. in danger of being trampled upon. The truth does not lie botweon the extreme statements of the two apostles but includes thorn both, Paul teaches that we are. saved by faith which worketh by love.' James tel's us we are saved by workfrl-inspired by faith. Both unite in exhibiting the spur iousness of a so-called faith which does not -weik. Men profess to believe that tho world is nothing and heaven is everything and then anchor1 tbomsolves to the' wbrld as though it wero not to puss away with the lusts thereof. Thoy profoss to believe that there is an awful hell and then do nothing to save men from it, Tbey profess to be lieve that intomperance is the greatest curse in tbe world and do not lift a band to stay its awful ravages. They profess to believe in tbo value of tho christian Sab bath and then attend Sunday base ball gamos and allow their children to do so; many others who hold thcmsolves aloof from such degrading practices do nothing to discourago tbem. Such faith is w'.rth less. "It is dead being alone." Can such a faith save a man ? Two tests may ba applied to determine tbe value of a man's creed and they aro well nigh infallible. The first is: What does it do for him? Does it mako bim better and happier than he would bo without it ? Tho second is ; What does it do for other poople ? Does it mako them better or happier than thoy would be if ho did not hold it. A man's creed can bo justified only by the good works it inspires. "Whoroforo by their fruit shall ye know them." "One or the l'luost." E. J.

More attention is paid to tho plot and action and consequent situations, and less to tbe starring of any particular mem ber of the cast. In point of fact, under tbo now arrangement, tbo differont Char acters are so evenly balanced, as to work, that no ono is given prominence over tho others, ana all harmonize to proauco a good improssion on tbe auditor.
