General Sheridan is rather small, heavily built jman, in physique Hot anlike Benjamin F. with n.gray tnnatache and heavy, lng hair. lie Is a graceful and forcible speaker, and last night he i engaged' the closest atttention of his audience for nearly two hours.

II. formally presented bini, preluding the introduction with "The fool has said ia his ova heart there is no Ood. In a introductory war, the speaker said Jhe used Colonel Ingersoll las the subject of 1ms lecture, because be istecoguized all aixles as the most popular 1 advocate and de feoder of modern disbelief iin America, die hod Vnown him for nianrf years: and I he re was no nian'living who had a more genia personality, lie was a good husband, a kind lusher, a stanch friend, a (patriotic etuseo Ills heart wtis foil of tenderness forthenu fortunate and pity tor the aluVted and these eati meats found constant ex prcsaioi in deeds ot charity aud kindness, He was a brilliant a wonderful never failing to 'charm by the splendor of bis rhetorie and the beautv ot his imagination Said the lec turer, "lie diacusases all questions save one with candor, ability and lairm ss, but when B)e approaches the subject of religion the aaanlle of his genial personality drops Iroui his shoulders, his judgment is ana he becomes at once the loudest of boasters and the most vnlairof disputants.

No man has ever assailed the christian religion with Wore less Worse so niiich and so little real learn ing Sneers, Jests, bold misstatement and reckieMs assertion are the weapons he uses. Profoundly ignorant of the aubiect lie attempts to disctiHs, tie unis fy presumes upon the denser igjfeirauce of those who listen to him, and lueia. laugnter ana cheer tickle his vanity. lie is pulled up with pride and poses as a gladiator ol whom all men stand in fear.

Mr. Sheridan said it was not ki purpose enter into any theological or or philutbphical defense ot hristiaoity, but be proposed thiit the modern! pagan should be rebuked and the philosophr be taught as aaile l. not onlv br the church, but bv all who bear in their hearts the conviction of God's existence and. a life beyond the grave: by all who rejoice at the wonders wrought aud the triumphs achieved in uame ot the simple faith taught bv' the lowlv Naxarene aa he wandered throughout the sunlit vallers of Judea or sac in th ft ount of Olives round about with giory, Jngersoll presented spnrioua issues and con atructed facts to support his assumed preteh ion.

lie had a vicious habit ot substituting bis vivid imagination for facts, of creat ing men of straw and then demolishing them with tremendous energy. Upon close examination, he said, IngersoU's utterances would be found simply like a tale "told by an idiot, full of sound and ifury signifying nothing. Ingersoll utterly ignored the work ot ehistianity. lie refused to recognise the fact that this cohotry was absolutely the outgrowth aud product of christian men and women, and professed to have believed that all would have been; better without iod and the Bible. lie asked," "Who Jounded, built up and preserved this country 1 To whom was Ingersoll indebted for all (he blessings and privileges he now enjoyed, to christians or iufiddH?" Jle did not remember any freethinkers "among the list.

af deathless names, had ul read of any one who stoot erect, with covered head, and while the great seaa thundered against the ship and ber trail diss's swayed in the neree tireath of the storm, cheered, and comforted the weii.y wanderers with the sublime and hopeful statement that there was no Ood that they must trust to luck and nature to bring. them safely to land, and that if they went down that was the end of them. Ho such picture came to view; but. oa the eootrary, there was seen mid the storm and tempestone witn rever ot face standing at the belm; calm, sere'ne, tesdi'aat; looking from the tumultuona waves to the dark clouds above, and seeing far above 'their angry blackness llitu at whose command the sea ol. old, ini far off Galilee, sank into restful silence.

Ingratitude, here is a disciple thou canst crown witb laurels, for he ia tbv truly begotten eon!" The speaker reviewed at length and with force and eloquence the various christian influences aad men who had helped to make, Ibis country great. Christians, he said, had declared the independence of the country, had fought ita battles, had framed its con atiutioo, bad established its schools and univemities and they rnled the aouotry to day. In short, he said, the history of America was simply a grand poem, sounding In immortal numbers the raises of Christianity.

Ineersoll, be aaid, Wanted to know it all, and rigntaway.at that, lie wants to know it all la thia life, tor he knows that when he is dead be will be so lead that be can't know anything. lie said uat Tsgau Bob" oould not eompreheud all be wanted to know aad was very much like a sick man. for whom his physician once ordered a quart of champagne to be taken in single draught, or else he would die. Well." said the patient, "then I must die, doctor." asked the doctor. "Because," aaid the patient, "I don't hold but a pint." It was aa with Ingersoll.

That Ingersoll (I not comprehend God would not jostle Jebvah from hie eternal throne and leave the world to chaos. While Ingersoll would eventually know more about God than he did at present, the spesker did not think that tbe Almighty would ever take into' full partnership and confide to bim the secret ol the pubtle forces he brings into play in the mighty, drama ot creation. ''Ingersoll did not comprehend gravitation, but he kept on grivnat lng. lie did not understand electricity, hut be kept right on electrifying.

'lie did not understand earthquajces. bot.ihey kept right on quaking. lie did not understand the laws of matter, yet the myriad particles of tbe universe leap into each other's out stretched arms, and weave themselves inte wondrous forms. of strength and beauty, ile did not understand the affinity of soul tor son), yet the stars looked down upon fair maidens listening to ibeHroice of eairtrrouth as it whimpers the old, oi story ttiat has brightened all millions of homes io onrgreat land are joyous to night' with the songs of those whose" souls are held close together by tbe same invisible cord that siuce the birth of time have beep woven in the looms of love. i General Sheridan thanked Qod that the great universe was not built and iras not run on the basis of llobert G.

Ingetrsoli't' comprehension. There ftsd been too much of tne inconsiderate and imiertineni rrse illation of' cru'le opinions upon tbe subjecto religion: He then dealt at some length with Inper.oH's attempted' absolute denial of tbe aad value; ot authority, in all matters of faith and morals. Ingersoll. he said, as he apeared to himseif, was a giant clutching tbe christian with one band, tearing down bis church with, the and contemptuously kicking aside the Bible at the same time. Ho thinks he will smash the church, but he is mis'aken.

The church will ipa.sh him. The philosophy he tenches has had its day.

In closing, the speaker declared that the opinions of Ipgersoll, if put in practice, would destroy that was deemed the best in the individual, in society, end in govern ment, and thai the man who would begin this work of destruction, whether, lie smiled or scowled, laughed or curel, wn simply a vandal. Ingersoll would rob the world of its most precious truths and inheritance; take from the numau art its dearet hojm; tear up the tree ot life; destroy the Bible; take from us the Const aud in his place give us the audacity, conceit, arrogshce and emptiness of Itobert G. IngeDll. Out of the past the world ha saved a lew memorials ol its heritage and future rest, and anion? them was the crass ot Christ. Mr.

If he should fucceed in extinguishing chrinliaoiiy, this world would be wrapt in a darkness more massive and terrible than' that which of "tild brooded over Esrynt's! sands. His philosophy ouered no tiope tor the dyinj. no consolation lor the living. lie destroys not builds up.

Christianity, on .1 I I.

At the conclusion of his lecture General Sheridan Was given an ioformal reception at the lenison bouse, where a number of rep resentative cfeutleiuen or the city called upon bim aud congratulated him upon hie brilliant address. lie said he was just getting it into good form, and thut it had been so kindly received in the various cities that he had decided to continue on the rostrum.

The federation requires time for action, since, according to their rules, every effort at a. bitration must be tried before a strike is ordered.

Johnson Iaik Some ot the Mat utnu to Conductors. TomJinson hall was partly filled last'nlght wiih the striking car drivers and their svmpalhize'rs, who met to exchange views on the ireatuient received by car drivers at the hands of tbe company. Tbe mealing was conducted liy the strikers themselves aud tbe "many pronauent citi tens" who bave addressed everr 4uas meet ing held in IndianaiKilis within the bK mory of man were; conspicuous )or their silence, it" not their absence. James Oirell called the meeting to order. He is one 'of the car drivers, and he "aud all others who Kke were pointed and forcible and often humorous in Their remarks.

Maurice Donnelly wajf made chairiiiair, and iJ.ihu Grifiin Item ark wrri declnrtd in order and O'Ney. was cslitd' upon for an expression of views. Untold the audience that he was so orater but that he and his fellow strikers telieved tlieir cause to be jusr, and iu tlieirf own. war they wished to explain their position. He saifi that the company, charged llie drlvers; HI cetrts for a whjp, which was not worth more" than fourjlhat the drivers soifle days used three or lour, making quite a hole iu thei watjes.

He declared that the caps for which thuy pay the company $1 each, and fur which Colonel Johnson says he pays $16 per dozen at the jobbing bouse, are not worth SO cents, The speaker further said that the' drivers who accepted pluired money are to ma ice (rood the loss, claimed sai in strikers are men, but he thought the ri who bad taken the strikers' places could hardlv ciaim to be. 1 A resolution, pledgiue the teopiej(o de posit no more lares, unless cslied for bv an authorized conductor, was adopted withoti dissentlng eotes, and it was also decided that until the strike is over the people (at least tbose present) will walk. J. It. Kinner told of the tribulation of a new driver.

He said that during seven or eight days hile learning to drive the new man is paid nothing. Then be is made to "sub" and work as an extra tbs some months before a regular car is given him. Put Mailon spo.e of Colonel Johnson's cane, and intimated that if had been used over the heads aud shoulders)! drivers in several iu stances. He Complained also ef tbe road officers, some of whom he denounced as un worthy to rule over a kennel of dogs. He complained of the company's rules.

and said that no christian could live' up to. all of them. S. J. Wilson said that the men are on the riirat track and that Colonel Johu'on would have been there; to refute what had been said i the thine: spoken had not been truthful.

Robert Gill, ex councilman, charged the car company with bavinsr violated everr pro vision of its charter. Zeph Wilson regretted the dav he ever weut ou a car as a driver. He said that he had been told that the whips furnished the drivers cost $1.20 per dozen Kveu the iuu.es know better than that; for tbev pay uo attention to thetii. Eli Hend ricks, Flwanl Johnson and others made. remarks, detailing the drivers' hardships in winter time.

etc. Resolutions were adopted calling on the council to revoke the charter of the Citizens company and demanding that a charter be irrauted to tirst class parties that will cuarantee irood equipments. A collection wiu taken lor the beneht ot tte strikers, and ni game of ball between the cigar uiukers and the car drivers, also for the benefit of the latter, was announced for fcialur uav at Athletic park. The strike of the street car drivers is in statu quo. They feel much encouraged by tbe Knights of Labor takinir up their for them, aud are iodustritusly iu working up public sentiment in their behalf in whatever way they can.

be company bad forty live cars ruuning on the rarious lines up to 1 o'clock last night, and then took most of them oil, as iuauv ot the drivers bad been working from fourteen to sixteen hours. This morning tbey had about the same number of cars running, including thoe on Fast and West Washington and South Meridian streels, 'which for a few days past bave been running somewhat spasmodically. The sympathiesot the public are largely wall tbe drivers, but thus far it has not manifested itself to any great extent in the Way they desire, that is By. reiujiiiig to either ride on the cars or pay lare, unlaws it ia solicited by conductors'. The meeting last night probably helped the cause of the strikers considerably, as their grievances were presented in a manner to enlist the general public sympathy.

Colonel Johnson lakes exceptions to some of tbe statements made by the speakers as being untruthful in character and calculated to place tbe company in a false light. He strain euipbaticallr denies the allegation that they churge the drivers more for their caps ana woips man iney originally cost, and in proof of bis assertions in this respect, he of fers not only 'to show the original billa of to all wbo care to examine them. but to pay (he expense ot telegraphing to the eastern houses from which they were i i i uujui, iv ikcoriu vAauiij wuafc cuer uiu cost. Keisremir the statements made by Driver MaOen last night, be characterize them as tolalJy false. The drivers, be savs.

are allowed plenty ot time for their dinners generally from twenty to twenty tour minutes, unless some uuloreseen accident er de lay should make it necessary to hurry. llio intimation, said Colonel Johnson, that I have ever Used tny cane to strike drivers ia malicious aa it ia false, I iemploy free born American citizens, and it 1 should attempt to do anr such foolish thiourea stri a man, I would be jtistlv and severely pu isbed for my foil 1 he road officers, says are carefully selected from the drivers! and while' the discipline to which ail th employes are subjected is necessarily strict every etlort is made to prevent petty tyran nies and I I Kegardinir the case off William O'Brien. who waa avrested tor refusing to put his in the box, and acquitted by Actio? MaVor Smock, on the ground that there was uo law requiring him to deposit hia fare, Colonel Johnson savs that is one of the striking drivers, and his arrest was ordered by K. A. Johnson, the superintendent ot the line.

.1 probably would not have done this," he sjaid, "I fully intended to see thst the man waa prosecuted, but forttot to atund Wit, in the hurry' ot more Importani matters. Mr. Smock is wrong in Ins decision, for both ex 3Iavor Caveu and Judge Alkern a cbarco to a jury, have, held that passeugers must put tueir lare in tne box. jbere is a specific Hnuiring them to provision of the Ordinance do this, and I hare iustru. and otbeers to take the nam xeu our drivers of people wbo refuse to do it, sod I think Jj will make some test eases on.

them, aUhougn II hare not yet fully determined what to do, sJi my time is so much occupied otherwise. On tbe conductor question Colouel John son gave the company views somewhat more in detail. 1 be claim, be said, that con ductors were employed on the cars in all the larger cities was not true. In New York and other places conductors were used ou the principal streets, but on tbe cross town lines, the fare boxes were, and always bad been used. "So far as Iudianapolia ia concerned," he added, "theee tacts are true.

Before we bought tbe street rail war here it was run by three as shrewd business men as there are iu the city, W. II. En glUlit II. K. Aileu aud Deloae Iloot.

They, had the cream of tbe business, for their lines ouly extended in the thickly populated portions of the city; and yet they lost money, and a 'great deal of money, Why! Simply because, they tried to run big cars, with couduorora and necessarily horses "instead of mules, and by doinsr this tney added about $20,000 a rear to tea debt of the company. It you have b'g Oars, wilfc lilfttfuruia aud eood actors, cod must bave big horses to pull tbeni; little mules can't do it. and big inules are imprao ticable. Tbe depreciation sn the value horses each year is from 30 td.40 per cent. mules it is less than 10 per cent.

boiisrli the lines here very and we hart uade a margin by making wbst; was i bet worthless Flock, now worth somethings Hot did wedoil? Simply by reducing expeusw by putting on bob tail cars In re boxes ant moles, and by the saving thus made wt have been' "enabled lo extend lin in every part cf the' city and suburb) and give good service. It is evideut to an busine mau that it we double our expenses by putting on conductors and horses, ws Wt necessarily reduce them iu other wava and that cm only be done by moving tiki cars further apart that is at greater intervals. The lest possible street ear service in Indi anapolis means fare boxes and drivers, and fouductors means having fewer cars anil further apart, thus disoonimoding the publio vcrv rreailv. That is the whole question ia a liuuueil." lLAl FIELD'S GAS WELL. istrlka ol Th Fluid mt a Ipth of Ssa Notes lrom TIo Field.
