A shocking death is reported from West j Olive, six miles from here. Early on Sunday morning a boy on going out with the milk found a woman lying in a ditch at; the side of the road. She has been recognised here as Mrs O’Eeiily, aged 36, a servant at the West Clive Hotel, her brother being a wheelwright in the same township. The woman was taken imme diately to her brother’s house, but though •vary effort was made to restore anima tion the : woman died in half an hour. It appears that the deceased) together with her brother and a Mrs Diamond, I left the hotel on the previous night at half-past eight intending to see the latter to her home a mile down the road. Tbenight v.as dark and raining. After going a little way the deceased said she could not go further, but would wait till Hall returned. Hall wanted to take her into a neighboring cottage, but she re fused. When Hail returned, not seeing her he imagined she had returned 46 the s hotel. * She was supposed have spent tbe night at the Halls and no suspicions were aroused. A post mortem and an in quest will be held this afternoon. A Salvation Army Bow. Txmaru, To-day. _ At the R.M. Court to-day Captain Smith (of the Salvation Army) and T. Graham (tailor andmob orator on free thought) were charged with committing a breach of fhe peace in the market reserve on Sunday afternoon. Graham, having mounted- a wagon used by the other party as a pulpit, was haranguing the crowd on “ Morality ” when the army approached, and contention arose between the two de fendants as to the possesion of the wagon, culminating in Smith hurling Graham Sown repeatedly. Evidence was heard on both sides, affording considerable amusement ■ to a dense crowd that thronged the Court, and the Bench in flicted a fine of LI and costs on each de fendant.

-At the Oldham Police Court on a Mon day morning recently a woman named Sarah Croft, of Hartley street, applied for a-' summons against some persons . whom she represented as Salvationists, for debt for lodgings. They owed her 9j fid. ' In answer to the Bench she said there had been seven Salvationists lodg „ ing ather bouse, the “ captain,” who had coma a fortnight ago, having agreed to pay 3s for a week. The applicant was advised to eo to the County Court, as the Bench could not.comp?l the payment of a debt of that kind. Mrs Croft stated that when she gave her lodgers “notice,” they nsed-very bad language, and “Captain” Jones pinned , her arms behind her, whilst afyonng woman struck her on the face: The applicant here showed a hand ful 4>T hair which the “ captain ” or the young woman had pulled out of her head. The young woman also thumped her on the flue. She added that these people wfao styled themselves officers of the Gos pel Army Mission, used very bad language, and from, what she knew of them “ they would swear anything.” The applicant then retired. It appears that the Gospel Army, in their announcement to the people of Oldham, a fortnight ago, in formed them that “ a grand march would be made, and Satan attacked at each assembly.” Further, they informed all sinners that they “ meant to have them,” and the proclamation concluded with the blasphemous declaration that it was “ given under the generalship o! the King of King*, Captain Jones, commanding officer.”

THE ASHBURTON GOABDIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1888.



JjlOR AN HONEST DOUBTER, The writer, who has the aincereat sym pathy for honest doubters, would strongly recommend that, on the chance of there being some truth in Scripture, the reader should take some such step as using the following lines (at least once every day), which are based on the prayer of a soldier before entering into battle, “ O God, if there be a God, have mercy upon my soul, if I have a soul ” : 1. O God, if God there be, - And I’ve offended Thee, In mercy look on me. 2. My soul, if soul there be, Would’st thou Salvation see? Now to the Saviour flee. 3. O Christ, if Christ there be, And Thou hast died for me, I would Salvation see. 4. Spirit, if such there be, And Thou would’st plead with me, O n.ay I list to Thee. 9 549
