The sub- jeet for diecussion was then talten np, it being " The Charon and Scientific. thought" • The firat essay was one prepared by Percy W. Bunting, editor Of the Contemporary Review, entitled, "The loffinnice of Modern Scientifie Progeeswon Religious Thought." lie Mr. Buntiog's abeenee the paper was reed by J. B. Sleek of London. Rev. D. ,Milton S. Terry, ofilteranstem Ills,, spoke on the attitude of the Church towarcl the various phases of unbelief. Rev. W. T. Davidson, of England, tutor in biblical literature and exegesis in Rich- mond (England) College, Wesley Methodist Church, followed in an address on the sub- ject of The Bible and Modern Critioism," The question was discussed by Rev. Dr. Nevelt, of Toronto ; Rev. Frank Ballard, of Lenglend ; Dr. Buckley, of New York, and others. Dr. Buckley said science could give Am help as to the fundamental questions of religion. Christianity was as false as the wildest superstition unless the birth of Christ was the result of the divine operation UDOU a woman without the agency of man. (Hear, hear.) Nine -tenths of whet the high critics brought) forward had been a subject of study by bible stutlente for twenty -live years. The trouble lay in the arrogance of the critics. The trial of Dr. Briggs had resulted not from what he held out, but the arrogant and damning flattener in which he ,sought to force those ideas down the throats of every one (Applause.) Chaermae Arthur, addressing the council, said he had never heard in a Methodist as- sembly a discussion which caused him such deep feeling as the one heard this morning. He had hoard words used that evidently the users had not settled in their heads -what they meant. What was evolution? The unrolling of a thing from itself. Give the flower the sun and rain and it woulcl un- fold itself, because there was a power at the root. Bishop Keener, M. E. Church South, said he believed it was the purpose of the human mind to grasp the problem of creation that had resulted in evolution. Rev. M. P. Allen, of Shffield, Eng., said we were in the midst of a great reaction. Caution and study were necessary, or the hold of the church and the great super- natural theories would be shaken. Rev. David Brock, of England, said Eng- lish preachers felt that it was like knocking their heads against a stone wall to refuse to accept certain scientific facts. If there had been a loss in the belief of the theory of mechanical inspiration of the Bible there had been a grand gain in the depth of love for Christ. Mr. J. J. McLaren, of Canada, said while scientists confined themselves to the dis- covery of the laws of nature there was nothing to say. The conflict betweenscience and religion had come from scientists who were unsatisfied. with their work, who did not know the "A B C's" of the, rule of evideuce, and were totally incapable of drawing a conclusion. Science had been compelled to abandon more positions than had religion. OMAHA BOIJSED. Lynchers of the Brute Coe Jailed—A Mob Threatens Trouble. Au Omaha despatch has the following particulers of the Omaha lynching : Joe Coe, a negro, was lynched early yesterday morning by a mob, which battered down the steel doors of the city jail and braved the whole police force and the fire depart- ment to get its victim. Coe was confined to the jail for a criminal assault on little 5 -year-old Lizzie Yates, and. when it became known that the child had died from the effects of the injuries inflicted by the black brute, the indignation of the citizens was aroused to such a pitch that the life of the miscreant was the only thing that would satisfy them. . Joseph Newshoffer, who led the assault on the county jail last night, which resulted in the lynching of Geo. Coe, thenegro, has been arrested ou a charge of murder. Seven members of the mob which lynched the negro, Geo. Coe, are under arrest charged with murder in the first degree. At 7 p. m. a large crowd surrounded. the county jail and threatened that if the prisoners were mot given their liberty the jail would be attacked and the men liberated. County Attorney Mahoney sent down word that the men would not be released. under any cir- cumstances, and the crowd at once began to lay plans for attacking the jail. THE ClIGRIUS GERI SCANDAL.

' A Sacramento deepateh says,: The .fitee wet -boatel exprees ,ou the Ceara Pecifie, which passed Colfax early thie morning en its way to this. eity, was wrecked between' New lengland Mille and Colfax, The train passed through a deep cut and out on to an embaokment which had been throwu up te preserve the grade. The engineer did not detect anything wrong lentil the first two cars were slightly derailed. The baggage - car and the twonlay ex:cites remeined on the track, but the four Pulleriene ana met boose left the track. The Penmen sleeper Santa, Cruz turued on its side and rolled dome the embankment for fifty feee before its progress was stopped. In the sleeper were ten passengers ell asleep at the time of the erash. They were knocked about in a lively fashion, but es- caped with a lively elle:kin... The only per- son seriously injure(' was tITe coloured porter of the Santa Cruz. In:vestigial= howed that an attempt had been made to wreek the train, and the spikes bad been drawn from severalof the outside reels on the outer edge of the embankment, just at a point where the track makes it curve. No spot better adapted to the plot could have been selected, and it was evidently selected in the hope that the engilleer, fireman, and employees in the baggage and mail cars would be killed es soon as the forward part of the train struck the loosened rails. The three cars could be looted, and as they car- ried a great quantity of mail the plunder would have been very profitable. The pas- sengers in one of the coaches caught a glimpse of one of the would-be wreckers as he rushed off. Detectives are searching for the perpetrators. The Dalton gang are sup- posed to have had a hand in it. Much harm was done to the roadbed aud rolling stock. The Southern Pacific has offered a reward of $500 for the arrest end conviction of the party or parties implicated in causing the derailment. A NARROW ESCAPE. A Sharp knife einried Into the Carriage of the French Ministers. A Marseilles despatch says : Ministers Guyot, Roche and Rouver to -day -were treated to a rather excitingexperience. They left the prefecti ure n carriages, escorted by the Hussars and a number of gendarmes. The streets were thronged with a sight-seeing, cheering multitude, but at several points along the ronte pronounced hissing and hooting were heard and this was specially noticable iu the Canebical quarter. While passing through the Boulevard Liberte somebody in the crowd hurled an open knife having a sharp blade with great force at the Ministers. The weapon fortu- nately missed its mark, striking with con- siderable force, but handle foremost, an officer of the prefecture, who was seated in the rear of the Ministerial carriages. The incident caused great excitement, and the gendarmes immediately charged and dis- persed the mob. They were not able, how ever to discover the miscreant. The Min- isters were afterwards entertained at lunch- eon at the Chamber of Commerce. M. Roche made a short speech on the subject of the customs tariff. He said that the Cabinet has resolved• to make a vigorous defence before the Senate for the free entry of raw material, which was necessary as a part of the national industry. BRIBERY IN 1LCSSL1. The Russian Geudaroses wastmasters in the Ast acdonaldism. A St. Petersburg cable says: The United States Immigration Commissioners, who have recently been visiting Russia were painfully impressed by the condition of the Jews who are within the pale. They saw a number of curious examples of Russian administration, of which the following instance is given : A Jew suffering from hydrophobia was being treated at the Pas- teur Institute, Moscow. When supposed to be cured, a gendarme arrived at the instituto and the Jew was conducted on foot, marching stage by stage alongside the gendarme's horse, to his birthplace in the western provinces. The United States commissioners also visited a factory at Gradno, capital of the province of that name, where hundreds of Jewesses were working for wages amounting to less than 50 cents per week. The high standard of morality of these girls, in spite of the state of frightful poverty in which they lived, is said to have made a deep impression upon the American comnaissioners. At a Rus- sian police station the commissioners re- ceived a lesson in bribery, a Russian friend of the travellers openly bribing a number of Russian officials one after the other without meeting with a single rebuff. HIS SWEETHEART SCRIBED, And He Shot Himself Dead in the Cruel Father's Presence. A Berlin cable says : A merchant named Richard Engel, of Hagelstrasse, this city, courted and won the daughter of Privy Councillor Loche, but when he asked for the daughter's hand he was met with a con- temptuous refusal. Engel retired heart- broken from the interview and wandered disconsolately through the streets. As he was passing Muhlenstrasse he was attracted by a crowd on the quay, and drawing near he saw some men dragging from the river the corpse of a young girl. Something j,h,mj he dress or -figure seemed familiar. forward, and the terrible sue- t had subsequently formed in his Confirmed—the body was that of eart.

Cleerflold, Pa., deopeteli says 'Phe prelitednery hearing of Preeident Dill, of the i,lefunet bankin» institution of Clearfield and Houtzdele, took places ou, Friday. Book- keeper Bloom, who was the first examined, reeognized an entry in the journal made July 11, 1891, as benig, in haudwrit- ing. entry was tus '-extra " to the creche of Dill, amounting to $12,664, made up a three items, a which one Was for $10,000, rnarked " Philadelphia Exehange." He then turned to the bank journal of the same date and these three entries were in Dill's handwriting. W, C. Smith, dis- count clerk of the Chestnut street Na- tional 13a,nk, Philadelphia, was next called, and created a sensation by stating that Dill had no credit there of 310,000 on July 1,4th or anywhere near that tine. This witness corroboreted the testi- mossy of Bookkeeper Bloom that only $1,800 had been remitted to Philadelphia and that to the Chestnut street bank. Both were closely questioned by counsel and by QOM- sional interrogatory by Dill, but both stated that no trace whatever of the $10,000 created in Dill's hooks could be found. The bank examiner then pronounced the entry false. Pending further examination the de. fence asked for time, and the hearing was continued until next Friday at Altoona. Mr. Dill was bound over in the sum of $20,000 to appear at that time, Another warrant was served, however, by Marshal Harrah, charging Dill with [embezzling 376,000 from the First National Bank of Clearfield, aud he was required to give an additional bond of 320,000 before he could return to his home. A GIRL DESPERADO. She Played the Part of a Highwayman With Great success, A Helena, Mont., despatch says: A few nights ago, as A. H. Richardson was going home, he was held up and robbed by a high. wayman who intimidated him with two revolvers On Thursday night Policeman Grogan noticed it suspicious looking char- acter in the same locality. On the police- man's approach the man displayed a re- volver, which the officer took away from him, but almost immediately after he received it shot from another revolver the desperado had in his left hand Grogan's injuries may result fatally. Early on Fri- day morning another man, named Ray, was held up and relieved of a watch and cash. About noon the detectives arrested a boyish. booking fellow near the depot, and search brought to light Ray's watch. He was taken to jail, where it was ascertained that the supposed boy was a ,eseirl. She is not more than 19, has a pretty face and petite figure, and from her conversation has been reared in refinement. After being iu jail an hour or BO "Charles Miller," as the girl called herself, asked permission to send out a note. This was allowed. The officer fol- lowed the bearer and it was delivered to Henry Clark. He was arrested and fully identified by Grogan, Richardson and Ray. The girl later confessed that Clark had committed the crimes mentioned, and that he did the same business in Oregon, Wash- ington, Butte, Anaconda, and she told of it number of "hold ups" she had made her- self. When questioned about her family she breaks down and refuses to utter a word. Clark is in danger of being lynched. CRUELLY SHOT DOWN While Fighting to Save Her Father 1From Nis Murderers. A Macon, Ga., despatch says itglYless Lees.ae Gossott, a girl of seventeen, was shot eo death last 'Thursday night by her fear cousins while defending her father. She was engaged to marry one of the young -men who aided in murderingher. J. C. Gossott, the father of the murdered girl, is a planter. On an adjoining farm lives his brother-in- law, Edward Thomas, who has four sons. He has had trouble for some time with tWO of the Thomas boys, David 33. and Jake. The four rode over to whip him on Thursday, about dark, and had him down when his daughter Lizzie, who had been out horse- back riding, :lame up. Seeing four men beating her father she sprang from her horse, and grasping one of the assailants by the collar threw him upon his back. The flash of several pistols followed and the girl fell, exclaiming: "Oh, Cousin Dave. It was the bullet of Cousin Dave which has killed nee." The murderers lied, leaving; the girl and her father alone. During the night hundreds of people gathered to aee the dead body of the girl who had died in defence of her father. A VERY MATERIAL GHOST. Youssg Wenn= of Prankish Disposition t Caught at Ler Tricks. A Norwalk, Come:, despatch says: For t sense weeke past superstitious persons have i said that an undertaker's store, owned by a James D. Jennings, was haunted. They e claim to have seen a. woman dressed in M white moving a,bout inside the store after I midnigbt. The police recently placed a s watch on the store, and early on Saturday T morning they were convinced that a woman t was in the building. They demanded en- n trance, and were admitted by Wm.

Fight. ing under many difficulties we held our ground and rallied every Irislunau who remained true to the principle for which oui leader lived and died—the principle of an independent Irish party and an independ- ent Irish Parliament. Ireland has received a blow by his death from which she will not recover for a generation. When O'Connell died all was chaos. A Parliamentary party sprang up, but failure and disgrace markee, its course. Nothing was done for Ireland and the name of Irish members became a by- word. Fenianism arose and all eves changed. Irish affairs absorbed attentioo itt Parliament while Irishmen died for Ire- land on the scaffold or perished in prison or in exile. Something was then done—the English State Church in Irelandelimppettred and the first step was taken in tardy course of legislation for the protection of the Irish tenant. The power of Fenianism was for the moment broken, but not until it had re- vived the spirit of nabionaaity. Parliamen- tary agitation followed the momentary sub- sidence of the Fenian movement, and once more failure marked its course. Then Charles Stewart Parnell came and all was changed. Rallying the forces of Irish nationality everywhere, and combining revo- lutionary action with constitutional agita- tion, he fixed the attention of the civilized world on the wrongs and miseries of Ireland. English parties and English leaders bowed before him. Tories vied with Liberals to gain his support. Firm, inexor- able, commanding the followers whom he found a rabble and whom he made an army, be dictated terms to the English Minister and the Minister granted them. In ten years he did more for Ireland than had been done in a generation. Measure after measure bearing his mark took its' place on the statute book, and his work was crowned when the Prime Minister of Eng- land brought into Parliament a bill to estab- lish an Irish Parliament Ireland mourns over his grave. What is the duty of those he has left behind? What is the duty of those who followed him to the last in the struggle for Irish freedom? It has been said that we fought for a man, net for a principle. It is not true. We fought for the principle which the man embodied. The man himself was indeed, in principle, tho -principle of self-reliance and independence which nothing could sap. To that principle we are staunch. It is now necessary for the members of this organization to elect a new President and a new Exebutive Corn- mittee, and we invite the branches of the National League of Great Britain to take immediate steps to this end. We urge our fellow -countrymen not to des- pair if victory seems distant. We ask theiu to take as their motto the last words of Mr. Parnell to his ExecutiveCommittee : "Hold on; fight on." T. P. O'CONNOR INTERVIEWED. T. P. O'Connor, n an interview to -day regarding the situation of Irish Parliamen- eery affairs, said: "The strongest desire of the majority is not to stand between the nation and the restoration of unity. With this object in view many meetings, includ- ing the important convention which was to have been held in Cork, have been postponed. We desire to show our profound respect and grief in the most emphatic manner." Con- cerning the chances of a re -union of the Irish parties, Mr. O'Connor said: " This is not the best time to discuss this question. It was anticipated from the first that the vehemence of their grief over their lost leader would lead Mr. Parnell's sup- porters into a state of temper in which reason is blinded by affection. They see in the political opposition to Mr. Parnell jealousy and private hatred. All that has happened. has tended to realize this yiew of the case, but I believe this stage of unreason will pass away, while some sorrow for the loss of Parnell will remain. The decency mud order which prevailed zt the vast funeral of yesterday, in spite of he terrible appeals made to disosder and assion, are welcome signs that the Irish eople will be ready in due time to consider he political situation calmly and to again e united in a final struggle for their liber- ies. There is no difference in political rinciples. Both factions are convinced hat the Irish party should be absolutely ndependent of all English parties and tatesmen, and that no Irish Nationalist an accept place or pay from an English inistry. Both factions desire to get for reland a full 'and practicable measure of elf -government, and will accept no other. he so-called 1VIcCarthyites hold exactly he same views politically as the Par- ellites."

Several bore marks of serious violence, The riot took place in broad noonday without warning or printout - eon. It was carried oat by it heneful of naeo, evicleutly acting under orders, in the presence of a number of Chinese officials, who knew every one of the rioters. Their mission of destruction was carried out with the utmost speed. A crowd had collected, and suddenly a rush was made for it. house belonging to the American Episcopal mission. The gate was smashed in'and a man heading the mob cried Sley the foreigners." The riot- ers came in with a rush, and one aimed it murderous blow with a shackle at Mr. Sowerby. Mr. Sowerby disarmed this as- sailant and ran for his life, reaching the con- sulate. The American Mission House was set on fire and the yamen and soldiers fell back, neither civil nor military mandarins makine any effort to protect the property. The Ro.man Catholic convent was next fired, aied the sisters. seven in number, barely escaped to the river, where they were thrown headlong down the steep bank by soldiers. They were taken in a boat on board the Paohua,' and were stoned by the mob on shore. Several sisters were badly injured by the missiles. It is thought a nember of children in the convent were burned to death, A mob armed with knivce and axes rushed to the consulate, but did not attack it. The house in which were Dr. Pier and Rev. Mr. Deane, together with several other buildings, was burned. Mr. Rockburn's house was ruined and the new 13ritish consulate, in course of construction, was torn down. Houses ' were looted, end although no one was killed, several attempts -were made to murder, and threats were frequent. At the old consulate the foreigners kept the rioters back with bayonets. The leaders of th.e mob carried gunpowder and kerosene with which to fire the buildings. In Mathew thingsare stirring again.

There are more children who do not get this amount of sleep than there are who do, and yet it is absolutely essential to their well being. Mothers ought not, as a rule, to be obliged to neglect either their infants or their other important cares if they ere wise in their con- duct and economize time. Very much, in- deed, will depend upon the way they per- form the first duties of motherhood. If they devote themselves almost wholly to their little ones, they must expect, for a year or two, at least, to be martyrs to this mistake; whereas, if the following rule be observed, the management of healthy children, at least, is not likely to prove a hardship : Do not take up a baby unless it is absolutely necessary, and return it to its crib at the earliest moment. In other words, a mother should hold her infant iu her arms just as little as possible ; and during the intervals between feeding, washing, dressing and journeys out of doors, the crib is the proper place for it. This should be the rule in health. Of course no line of conduct .can be marked out for a mother when her baby is ill.

Then another, etc., one inside of another till you come to what is called the bed of the crater which is three miles across,. nine miles around all black lave. About the centre of this floor is the lake of fire 400 feet down in a big basin about a mile acmes ate the top tapered down to half -mile at the, bottom where it is boiling and spurt- ing away. It's terribly grand. just think of a great cupula of iron in a. stove foundry, only hundred timeetas large e it seems to boil from one piece, about the. centre—throws it up fifty feet at times, then subsides for a few seconds, then up, again. When it boils up it seems to run the one way, and the noiee is just like the breakers on a beach. It is worth a long journey to see it. Five months ago there ' was a great cone inside of the hole, or where the lake is now ; it was above the level of the bank. When you got over to, where eve look down at ib now, 400 feet, yen had to go up forty feet to the big lake. There were two smaller lakes also, and. the fire was shooting out all through tke cone. It was grand. One morning they—the people at the hotel—missed the cone. You count' sec it from the house. They went over and where had been a mountain of fire the. night before there was nothing but a great nole 500 feet deep, with very little fire in it. It did the earno seven years ago. The fire kept getting larger and. larger until I arrived two months ago. I looked, I saw, dered. Five days after there was a . commotion. I saw it during the con; more steam and vapor. That , we went over, and we saw—what ? the lad risen a hundred feet or more, and wice as large and active. It will keep til it has a cone Op again.

Official returns show that the export of barley from Canada during the year ending 30th June, 1891, WEIS 4,892,327 bushels, against 9,975,911 bushels in 1890. In detail the exports in 1891 were 13.%650 bushels to Great Britain, 4,751,952 bushels to the United States, 7,714 bushels to Newfound- land. In 1890, 27,132 bushels were ex- ported to England, 9,939,745 bushels to the United States and 8,073 bushels to New- foundland. The decline of 52 per cent in the total export is due meinly to the increased duty on barley in the United States last fall, although the fact mustbe borne in mind that the quantity of barley sown last fall in anticipation of the increase in the American tariff eonsiderably reduced the quantity available for export On the other hand a large increase is shown in the pereentage of barley exported to Great Britain, which recent exports indicate will be greatly increased over last year's figures, as it result of this season's shipment of two - rowed barley.
