"While Dr. Tbomu wu delivering- his discourse At McYIcker's Theater yesterday morn- lug on of too uaners oi uuuw wu. but quietly, to tbe stage and banded op a message.

The re re rend gentleman paujed in biai aermon. and after a moment slid: Tf Mr. N. W. Hubbard ia present, be is requested to go to tbe door on an urgent and sorrowful errand.

Mr. Hubbard, who was among the congregation, retired and was handM a dispatch announcing the death of his brother at Joliet, for which place Mr. Hubbard left on tbe first train. The following dispatch gives the particulars of the aad announcement: Joltbt, HI, June 17. Special Telegram.

Benjamin T. O. Huoberd. the noted defaulting cashier of the Monmouth National Bank, died in the prison hospital shortly after 4 o'elock this morning, of neart trouble and general debility. Hubbard's ailments dated from the day of ms incarceration, and he has been gradually going down hill ever since.

His death was a very peaceful one, and he passed away without a struggle. His case was in many respects a Tory peculiar one. Always firmly protesting his innocence of any intention or desire to embezzle from the bank, be claimed to have been more sinned against than sinning, and that the directors of the bank used him for their agent to carry on what was afterwards proren to be their unlawful designs. Hubbard speculated on the Chicago Board of Trade with the bank's money, made a few lucky deals and went in heavier, bnt an unfortunate fluctuation of the market left him $115,000 short in his accounts. He had always been considered one of the most upright and honest men in the city of Monmouth, and widows, children, and the poorer iclasses bad intrusted their little tarings entirely ia his keeping.

The bank was immediatelr closed, and when it became noised about that Hubbard's speculations wese tne cause of the locked doors, tbe feeling became Tory bitter against him, and is pretty strong to this day among many residing in that station. Very little, if anything, was erer received bv those who had intrusted their all to Hubbard's care. He was immediately arrested and tried by the United States Court for violation of the National banking lawn He swore upon the stand that all of bis speculating had been done with the full knowledge and consent of the directors, and that while successful they derived tbe principal portion of 'the benefits of the same, but that when be lost they washed their hands of the entire affair and threw the blame upon his shoulders. However, he was unable" to prove the charge and was sentenced to seven years at hard labor, arriving at the penitentiary January liti, 1 8tML Several attempts have been made to induce President Cleveland to pardon the old man, but they were all refused. Death has been expected at any mmnte fur a long time by the prison physicians, aud it was the greatest wonder to all who saw the man how it was possible for any one to look as Hubbard did and live.

His remains will be taken back to Monmouth for burial. DRINK AND MURDER. Abont 8 o'clock last night Patrick McCann murdered Peter Murphy by stabbing him in the stomach. Both are railroa men. are married, and live in the same housi.

No. U49 Kinzie street, at the corner of Morgan. The murder was the culmination of drunken brawls, in which McCann was engaged during the afternoon and evening. McCann, who is of a notoriously qnarrelsome disposition, early in the evening had an altercation with Matt McNally, a step-son of the man he afterward, murdered, over a can. of beer.

Then McCann called McNally a "scab" brakeman, and said the whole family were McNally, who ia abont UO vears old and had been drinking considerable, called McCann "a lur." whereupon McCann pulled out a knife and ran at McNally, wno succeeded in warding the blow from his face, but was cut on the band. They grappled and McNally threw McCann down on the sidewalk aud struck him several times. McCann when be got np walked away. During bis absence I'eto Mnrphv returned borne from work and was told of the1 remarks aud actions of McCann. "Oh.

never mind," he said, "Mac's drunk and doaen't mean what he says. He hung his hat and coat up and then went tiown stairs to cool off. McCann was standing at the foot of the stairs, and as soon as be saw Murphy he pulled out his knife and yelled, "You I'll fix von now." Murphy ran down the sidewalk, followed by McCann. Marplir suddenly turned with the iu-teotton of getting back into the house, bnt tumbled and fell, npon which McCann jumped on him, and, according to the testimony of an eye-witness. Beliberately plunged the knife into his abdomen, cutting a Kash over six inches 1 lung and literally disemboweling him.

INGRATITUDE KILLED William Pittwood, aged 72 years, was found dead In bed in a cheap lodging-house. No. 171 West lake street, yesterday morning of bean disease" will doubucea pe Xfi9 coroners verdict, but "died of a broken heart" wfU be the vei diet of the public. Just a week ago to-day. happy audi contented, William Pittwood left his home In Flint, to visit hia son in this city, Ho had not seen hia "baby boy," as the old man affectionately termed his youngest son, for 8 years; since be was 15 years old, when he left the parental roof to seek his fortune in this great citv.

From time to time the old father received letters full of affection and youthful aspirations from his boy, but gradually the letters grew shorter and shorter, and longer and longer grew the intervals between them, until jiuui mmjj cmw MiuKuuior. As only a kind parent can worry and grieve over a child did Mr. Pittwood grieve over his son James. Hearing nothing from him for many weeks the old man's fears for his son's success and safety became so great that be could stand the auapenss no longer. "I must go to my boy in Chicago." he declared a week ago to his relatives and old friends; be may be sick or injured and needing his old father." Friends tried to dissuade him from the long ride, and probably difficult task of finding his son for a man so old and infirm, and a stranger in the city as well But no, tbe old man felt he most ko.

and eo be did. When he arrived in Chicago be went to the place he last heard his son was employed Frazier A Chalmer'a foundry and machine works, on West Lake street There he found his son James alive and well, but hs did not evince mnch pleasure at seeing the old father so fond of him. When his work was done the son rough! said: "Well, old man, you'd better, go me to supper." He led the across the street, to No. 173 Lake street, first floor is occupied by a low saloon. with way The The ascoud floor ia a cheap and uniarituig lodging TILC DAILY OC-CAX, MOM DAY 3IOKMlM(i, JUISU bouse.

When the son started up the steps the old man half drew back. "Surely you don't live in such a place as this! Do you, James?" "Yes, it's good enough for me; if it don't suit you, go some place else. "Up the diamaL dirty steps the old man clambered and into a room where a slovenly woman, perhaps ton years older than bis son, wad preparing an odorous but unentieiag repast That's my wife," said the son. "Your wife! Why, James, do do you mean It? You married!" "Yes, but you needn't maks such a fuss about it" The old man said no. more.

He had found bis son; but. oh, bow changed from the bright affectionate bov who left hia home eight years before. Until Wednesday last the old man lived with his son and the woman he called his wife. That day she told him they owed a big grocery bill, and had no money to pay for it Finally she asked him outright for the money, saying be "needn't expect to live oft them for nothing." After supper bis son and wifs started down street, telling the old man they were going to pay the grocer. They never returned.

Tho old man wept and waited for them until Friday. Ha went to the grocer: tbe bid was not paid; his son had not gone there. When Mr. Pittwood went back to the house be was informed that he could not stay there any longer without money. "You bad no business to give it all to your son." Down the dismal steps, out into the.

streets, tottered tbe poor being who had passed the allotted three score years and tenon earth; alone in a great citv, without a single acquaintance and no money to return to his old home in Michigan. But a kind-hearted German woman, Mrs. Struhler, at No. 17:1 West Lake street who heard of the old man's distress, offered him a home in her house until she could get financial help from bis friend. With deep thankfulness he accepted tbe offer and at once forwarded a letter to his daughter, Mrs! U.

Hhepard, Battle Creek. Mich, and others to friends in Flint The answers to those letters will come too late; William Pittwood ia beyondfthe help of earthly friends. He was found dead in bed this morning, his hesd bnriod in a pillow wet with team The angol of death waa merciful. MRS. FOSTER ON TEMPERANCE.

Mrs. J. Ellen Faster spoke last night at the Clark Street Methodist Church on the question of prohibitory legislation. There was an excellent musical programme. Prayer waa offered by the pastor, the Hev.

N. W. Barbour, who, after "Coronation" had been sung with genuine Methodist fervor, introduced the speaker as one who was known everywhere throughout the United States as the President of the Iowa W. T. and the Secretary of tbe non-partisan, uon-aectanan anti-saloon society.

Mrs. Foster, thus presented to her audience, said she did not propose to speak of tbe relation of temperence to individuals, although the individual is the unit in the family through which society and nations must be touched. Its effects upon individnala as offenders and aa iudirect sufferers were perfectly well known. The essential thing waa to make the people comprehend that alcohol was poison, and temperance would not be established until this waa understood. They had been working away without fully realizing this.

She had chosen the subject of the relation of temperance to government, because it was the time aud place for such discussion, an opportunity to teach the truth at an opportune time. It was an hour when all hearts were stirred, and she fell like speaking as au American woman who lovea bor country, and wliese country it was as much as any man's. In the conflict of the state against the saloon, victory waa est already asaured and when prohibition sho.ld be established we should know that the Kingdom of Utxl has been set no upon earth. Prohibition was an accomplished fact in Iowa. There was not au open saloon in Kanaas, aud the thing that temperance people are pleading for has been carried into actual effect in many parts of tbe country.

Hue wiabed to state clearly that when she spoke of legislative prohibition, she meant that, and not party prohibition. She wanted every advantage aud would say, at tbe risk of offending her third party friends, that she did not beliore in a third party at all. The relation of the saloon to the government was based upon its effect upon men aa citizens, in which capacitv only they were recoguized by the State. The State regarded onlv what he did here. and did not interfere uutil intemperance provoked htm to vice and crime, making him amenable to tho law.

It did not interfere because he became a bloated, hideous object; Staggering and reeling; it did not care how terrible a spectacle he made of himselF, bnt if he- went out upon tbe highway and diaturbed the phblio peace then it could put its hand noon him because he became a bad citizen. The manufacture is the viaible form of the traffic amenable to law, which can not touch a habit or an appetite. It can touch the saloon as it tonchea a sewer, or diseased cattle, or tainted beef, not because it recognizes the evil growing out of it, but because men are the wealth of the State, tho machinery by which it carries Ion its great enterprises, and roust be taken care of as a mechanic takes care of his tools. When temperance legislation is demaudsd everybody admits the righteousness of the claim, aud it resta upon the ground that the State has a right to make such legislation. The vital question was how far it should go.

Tbe means waa a mero matter of arrangement The government bad not created the traftio, which it had boon said was tho child of the law. The manufacture of ardent spirits had made the demand for alcoholic drinks, and tne struggle for h(gh license was an indication of tbe quickening of tbe public conscience and was an intimation of the final accomplishment of prohibition. She counseled submitting the question, not to parties, but to a vote of tbe people, all the people, or rather all the people who vote, for it would never be the vote of all the people until the women voted. TIMELY WORDS OF ADVICE. The baccalaureate sermon to the graduating clasa of tbe Northwestern University was preached in the Methodist Church yesterday, by President Joseph Cumminga.

who took for his text the twelfth verse of the elevonth chapter of Revelations; "And they beard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, 'Come up Tho majority of the biblical language he said, was figurative, and tbe command "Come up hither" was to be understood as mesning that men were to look up to a lofty and better life. There was a great deal of discussion as to whether tbo Bible was to be taken literally, and many brave men and true Christians had gone to "their death because they denied the literal trans lation. Words, he said, bad Buch a meaning as usage gave them. By higher life was meant boiler life, and honest pnrpose. We speak of going down cellar and down into ain, up into a better atmosphere and up among holv things.

Men have two-fold lives, one material aud the other spiritual; also a two-fold nature, one dragging them downward into ain and degradation, and the other drawing them upward to better things. There is, be said, a constant struggle in man between these two and the one that he yields to is tho. one which shapes his life and forma hia character. A power is given all to resist evil, and that power should be exerted. Too often we hear that a certain man who has gone wrong was the victim of circumstances; that he struggled against evil without avail; that there was a power dragging him down.

This is literally, absolutely, aud wickedly absurd. No man. not inaane, is forced to do wrong. God has (riven to every man fr je wherein lies bis power to do right or WToug. A man ains because he wants to.

We often, said tbe doctor, look down and despise those whose life we consider inferior to our own; despise them because they do not use the power to raise themselves to our loveL I do not then consider tliat. were we to use a corresponding power to that reaulred to elevate them, to a how much higher plane we would ourselves be raised. We should lend a helping hand. Hope in one mind inspires hope in another, and courage lends strength to the fainting. Sin in any form is a transgression of the law of nature and paralyses the moral power.

The most potent factor in dragging a man down to degradation and low propensities was tbe influence of appetite, and it came alike to tbe rich and poor. Sinners, be said, were moral idiots, and had no of the manifestations of man's hiekest clory. There were many victima of the power of transgress ion, the tools or apnenie. Ood made man "a little lower than the angels, but tbe power of appetite kept them sinking lower than brutes. When you see a drunken man lying in the gutter, you think of what he might have been, and "the funeral train of his great capabilities passes through your mind" But this appeal for a higher life was not made alone to those who yielded to these lowest propensities.

There were men who did not do these things, who were yet of no valua hex lived wltiiin themselves and for themselves, and selfishness was their siu; "it was a libel ou human nature" to aay that it was nocessanr. It waa imply an "apology made for man to Ood." Inactivity lu Christian life was also a ain. It was a mistake to think that Ood bad for a primal idea in this world, pleasure. Pleasure came with dutv, but the doing of duty was the necessary thing. Stalwart, manly piety waa wanted.

What would have become of tbe world had Peter and Paul merely sung "Simply to thy Cross I Cling," and done no workf We must bear the cross, and in bearing it cling to it There la a class of Christians who sing sentimental songs about walking in golden streets and wearing shining robes they are the kind of people who, when they die, want to Jo it to the aromatic flavor of tbe rose. What was wanted in this world was Christians who worked. The Doctor'e advice to the class waa brief and to the point He told them that hs who would amount to anything must strive earnestly, and advised them, had their been any little differences between them during their school life, to clasp hands and part in a spirit of kindness and forgiveness, and, above ail, to listen to the voices of their better natures, and continuously rise to a highor plane, so that when it came time for them to leave this world they would hear the Master's voice aaying: "Well done, good and JEWISH BENEVOLENCE. Tbe Hon. Simon Wolf, of the Court of Appeals Washington.

IX the Hon. B. F. Peixatto, editor of the MenoraA, New York, and Mr. Iaador Buah, of St Louis, Ma.

Emil F. Holm, M. H. Hirsch, Adolf Ersus, Israel Van Laalen, Albert Weil, Adolph Loeb and Julius Itoeenthal, Mr. Wolf ia an excellent talker, and, assuming a mellow tone and confidential air, he was given the best attention.

Hia address was mainly directed to the young men or B'nal B'ritn, urging them to work for tne advancement of the order, and not to cultivate the curse of curses, un gratefulness. sires have labored hard and successfully," he said, "but there seems to be a desire on your part to neglect your work. This must not be. Tne work of education and lif tine our race out from the slough of hatred roust continue, and it must be carried on by the young men. We muat hear from you in this order.

Yon must work so that when we go to watering-planes with our wives, the stigma will not be thrown in our faces that Jewish women care only for diamonds, and are not at all cultured. Education and intellectual advancement ia what the Jewa are in need of." The yodng men, he said, should rise from their lethargy, they should show tho people that Israel was not in a elite of docay, but of advancement Editor Peizzatto said the order was established half a century ago, and bad eradicated much of tbe hatred against the Jews of those days. It haa now 25.O0O members, haa expended over $3,000,000 amoug the orphans and widowa of deceased members, and many more millions in other charities. Fifty years ago there wore no schools for the Israelites, no rabbis, no spiritual exercises. All thst waa changed, and the chance was brought about by th i order B'nai B'rith.

Attempts had been made for 4.000 years to crush the Jews; they had been persecuted, driven about, stoned and trampled oo, but their superior intellect saved them. And why? The soul waa the soul of the true man, aud it would not die. "The young men of to-day are ashamed of being Jews," be said. "There seems to them to be something disgraceful in the name. Disgraceful; why there is no greater, no more honorable titie in the world than that of being a Jew." The speaker paid a tribute to the late "Unser Fritz," who he said had fought courageously and manfnllv for the enlightenment of the Jews, ami hsd succeeded in ameliorating their condition.

From hia successor, however, there was loss to be expected, and tbe members of the order should always be ready to assist their foreign brethren should they need assistance. Mr. Brush spoke in the German language and waa warmly applauded. CONFIRMATION SERVICES. Yesterday was confirmation day at the Jesuit Church.

About four hundred girla, as many boys, and a few older people were confirmed toy Archbishop Feeban, assisted by Fathers Kelly, Condon, and Lesson. There was a very largo attendance despite the excessive heat The Archbishop met the procession at the corner of Harrison and Loo mis streets, and was escorted to the church. He waa preceded by his staff of marshals and supported by the members of the Married Men's Sodality and of the United Order of Hibermaus. At church be vested in tbe pontifical robes, aud, after a short address, administered the sacranent of confirmation. At the close of the confirmation service the Archbishop pronounced the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament During the confirmation the choir of St Aloyaius furnished til- music, and during the benediction tho regular choir of the church.

During the afternoon many people wore grouped about in front of tho church. So vera! had pockets picked. The officers who were detailed by Captain O'Dounell watched three pickpockets closely for about half an hour and then saw one of thorn attempt to get a lady's purse. Officer Schlicter stsrted for the fellow and chased him about two blocks. Captain O'Donnell was driving down Taylor Btreet at the time, and, seeing tbe thief running and the officer in pursuit, joined in the chase.

Tne Captain's buggy beaded him off at the corner of Taylor and Center avenue, and he surrendered himsolf to Officer Schlicter. It proved to be Thomas Lyons, alias Eddie Casey. He has been aires tad a number of times. "Three purses were found upon him, oue of which contained $2. Later in the day the officers found the woman from whom the latter was stolen.

THE WANT AN ORGAN. The Trade and Labor Assembly feel the need of an organ, and accordingly Mr. T. J. Morgan has outlined a plan of starting one.

Morgan, as Chairman of the committee on publication, will be practically the editor. The sheet will be the official organ of the Trades aud Labor Assembly, and will be sent to each member of the organization free, the assembly paying the bill. The Assembly spent all the afternoon yesterday discussing the preliminaries, and as noneof'tbe conservatives showed np. and very few radicals, for that matter, the session was harmonious.
