Special Despatch to The EUening Telegraph
SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 10.-Last evening, about
dusk, a sad accident occurred to three children
of Matthias Noll, residing on Washington avenue,
who were playing in the cinders dumped from
the Rolling Mill. By some means the little
ones got into the burning cinders and before
the arrival of assistance one of them was burned
to death and the other two were badly burned
about the feet and legs At every step of the
children in trying to extricate themselves their
little feet sank almost to the knees in the burn
ing embers.

We publish to-day in another column an
answer TO the letter of Rev. Mr.. Reyes, which
appeared in our paper few days ago. This
answer comes from very respectable source,
and the party interested in it have certain
right TO our Columns in which to give their
views OF the controversy to the public Mr..
Reyes has taken advantage of the same medi-
um, and it is no more than right and Just to
give it to the other party. No controversy lasts
long unless there are at least two sides to it.
We take no part in it, but let them speak for
themselves. Our journal is a political and not
a religious one. 1t is not for us to say which
n-s the better faith or creed Both claim the
Dioe d the foundation of their doctr mes and
pehei, 'ne onfs difference being in the inter-
pretanon OF that god book. The public is the
jury to which they SAINT their casa Rnt

quite unreasonable to suppose thy can ali
agree upon verde. in favor Of one sio> a. ,ha
other. When experts are allowed by couf., q
give their opinions, and these opinions are les
galy admissible as evidence--and especially
when they form the basis of verdicts we may
look for that GLORIOUS uncertainty which u.s.
uaiIy characterizes all legal proceedings. One
thing, however, we will venture to suggest, and
that is Charity. We believe in the exercise of
this virtue in all human. transactions, and have
no wish to remove it down lower in the moral
or religious scale than the place given to it by
the Apostle Paul HM Hl a 3nd
