HANGED FOR A MURDER. something- of the Hlatorv of Tbla Prominent Dlvlu. Bishop I. W. Joyce, who is to preach on Sunday morning at the re-opening of the First M. E. church, is a practical sample of a self-made man. He is of Irish ancestry and was born in Hamp ton county, Ohio. When about thirteen years of age his parents removed to Tip pecanoe county, lud. He was converted at sixteen. In 1859 he was admitted into the Northwest Indiana conference. He always tound room at the top. An indefatigable student and worker, he commanded the best places in the con ference. For lour years he served as presiding elder. In 1880 he represented his conference in general conference. In 1886 he went as fraternal delegate to the general conlerence of the Methodist church in Canada. In the autumn of 1880 he was trans ferred to the Cincinnati conference and stationed in St. Paul's Methodist Epis copal church in Cincinnati. From there he went to Trinity in the same city, serv ing lull terms in each, and then was an- nointed back again to St. Paul s. While serving his second year of his second term, he was elected to the Knisconnl office at the gen eral conference of 1888, held in New York. As a bishop he has had marked success. His genial, sympathetic man- er wins all with whom he comes in con- tact. He is a deeply read, thorough scholar, a profound preacher and pulpit orntor and a man of rare culture. Dr. W. L. Davidson, who is to preach on Sundnv nmht, is agent lor the bun.' dnv school union and tract society of the Methodist Episcopal church.

On Monday night he will give a lecture in the auditorium of the church on A tramp tlirougn Switzer land." All who can possibly do so should make it a point to hear both these distinguished gentlemen.

A rope was produced, the men quickly marching to the jail where the sheriff was overpowered. The mob then gat their mas marched him to the square and asked him if he and his mother were guilty. His answer was: "Pull your rope." He was at once drawn up over a limb nine feet high and the command was given to "pull away boys." In a few minutes Cullen was dead. Cullen'scrime was a heinous one. Four vears ago a baby ten days old was found at bis step-father's door. Young Cullen thought of late that it was meant for an heir bv adoption. Last Monday night he tied a car link to the neck of the child and threw it into an unused well.
