81 am unwilling, Right Rev. Sir to 90 back to
my home in Chicago without expressing my solemn
protest, or without uttering the convictions of nv
heart and conscience, with regard to the Sc, 900
you have taken from Mr.. Beers. And here, as
minister of Christ's Church, as n Christian man.
and as member of this house. | do proclaim
the whole matter, from beginning to end to be a
dishonest transaction"
The whole house were moved by the force and
heartiness with which he uttered these words, and
as soon as he leit his seat the Bishop to deliver
the parting address to the Convention, when a
large number, apparently nearly one-half of the
house, left their seats turned their backs upon the
Bishop as he was speaking, and left the church.

THE LADY ELGIN CALAMITY.
THE SEARCH FOR THE DEAD-TwEYTY- FIVE MORE
BODIES RECOVERED.
The search for bodies of victims of the Lady Ell
gin calamity was prosecuted with vigor and sue
cess on Saturday. The steamtug Mcqueen left at
five o'clock A. NJ for a cruise along Shore and re-
turned about seven p. NJ. with twenty bodies; the
number was increased by four others washed ashore
at different points.
The total number of inquests thus far is one hun
dred and five
The search was to be continued on Sunday which
being the ninth day, would bring most of the yet
unrecovered bodies to the surfa ace special train
on Sunday over the Milwaukee road will bear to
that city those of the dead there belonging.
Up to this point but one of the Lumsden family
has been found, and none Of the Garth family, nor
the son of Hon. Mr.. Ingram, nor that of the la
mented Mr.. Hall, of Aurora and the Jealous search
by the friends of those and Others in private be-
half, is doing much to give completeness to opera
tions.
As was necessary and proper from the state of
the bodies recovered, the of the abors of the
Coronor's jury was on Saturday transferred to the
City Cemetery, the inquest being held in the build
ing erected by the county for post-mortem exam-
nations and such uses as of Saturday.
The twenty bodies brought by the Mcqueen
reached the cemetery just at dark, and were laid in
a ghastly row on the turf Large fires were kim
died. and by the light of these, the many friends in
waiting, chiefly from Milwaukee eagerly sought
marks for identification, successful in many in
stances.
The condition of the bodies recovered on Satur-
day, furnishes the not unexpected warning that
the desire of these watchers cannot be fully satisfied
even in the case of those whose friends are recov-
cred.
THE FUNERAL OF CAPTAIN JOHN WILSON,
The obsequies all that remains on earth of the
gallant and amented Captain of the illated steam
er Lady Elgin were held at the Wigwam. last even

was selected for the mournful occasion because of
its great capacity, was crowded in its every part
with our citizens.
At little before six O'Clock the coffin was brought
in, followed by a numerous procession of the Ma
sonic fraternity, and placed in front of the pulpit
upon stand covered by the American flag. The
collin is metallic one, and upon it, on silver
plate, is this simple inscription:

The services were opened by prayer by the
Rev. DR.. Clarkson, of St. James Church, and the
Rev. Mr.. Pratt, of Trinity Church, then delivered
a most feeling and appropriate discourse.
Rev. DR.. Clarkson followed in a few brief and elo
quently appropriate remarks and the services were
closed by prayer by Rev. MIR. Pratt. The pail
bearers then transferred the coffin to the hearse,
which, preceded by the Light Guard Band, who
played solemn dirge, and by long procession
proceeded to where the train that was to bear the
remains away was waiting The coffin was boxed up

TERRIBLE ToRNADo-The Air Full of Fire Balls.
hp nun OF Eran Shnrrr in
n. y, was visited by a veritable tornado on the
7th inst. The Buffalo cypress says a singular sing
ing noise preceded the hurricane; those out of doors
compared its advance to the fierce driving of many
lumber wagons. The lights in many houses were
all at extnguished, without any visible cause
Several houses were unroofed, others were moved
from their foundations and others still were thrown
down and demolished Trees we're torn up by the
roots and blown about like feathers. The roof OF
the Methodist church was carried away. The corn
crop was ruined, the gardens laid waste, and innu.
merable fences blown down. Fortunately, no one
was injured in the least. The tornado not
over thirty rods in width, and its duration did not
exceed half a minute 1t is impossible to estimate
the damage. After the tornado, family noticed
the rain leaking down rather freely, took a light
and went up stairs and found the roof was gone
So sudden was the blow, and so noiseess, that
they did not know that anything had happened
Swede woman who caught out in the storm
lay down on the ground and held fast to board
fence while all sorts of missiles were flying around
her. She says the air was full OF nre-Dalls Sne
was uninjured The statement in regard to the
balls of fire is endorsed by various other persons.
HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.-A tragedy of horrible
character occurred on Wednesday morning in Jer-
sey City. man named James Gathrey Scotch
man, made an attempt upon the life of his daugh-
ter aged IA years, striking her on the back of the
head with hatchet, and then inflicted wounds
upon himself which will undoubtedly cause his
death. The daughter alleges that he has on va.
rous occasions attempted to violate her person
and that the last attempt was made just prior to
the commission of the double crime above stated.
She sustained scalp wound some two inches in
length, but.the skull did appear to be fractured
A large number of people gathered around the
house, and upon the facts becoming known, much
Indignation manifested and some of the wo-
men proposed to lynch Gathrey on the spot. This
proposition would probably have been carried out
had there not been several officers present. Gath
rey subsequently inquired if his daughter was
dead, and on being informed that she was not, he
replied that he was sorry.
There were ,l52 births and ,l97 deaths in Phia-
delphia during the month of July.
