NEWS SUMMARY.
CttV A0oirR


Two Republican mass meetings we're
held last evening, one in the Fourth and the
other in the Third Congressional district
The former was addressed by Judge Kelley
and the latter by the Hon. Leonard Myers,
Colonel William b. Mann, and others.
esterday afternoon dilapidated brick
building at Beech and Brown streets, on the
bank of the Cohocksink creek, slid from its
foundation into the middle of the stream.
The building was used as soap factory, and
two of the workmen were injured. William
Show had leg broken and Jacob Winfield
received severe injuries about the body.
Both men we're taken to the Pennsylvania
Hospital.
Policeman Dougherty and Thomas Hardy,
charged with violating the act of Congress
with reference to the registration of votes,
had final hearing yesterday afternoon be-
fore United States Commissioner Biddle and
were held for trial in $4,000.

correctness than can be granted to the cor
responding datum for the centre of the
earth. Men have gone down pits aud mines
with thermometers, and found that the heat
increases at a certain rate; they have assumed
that this rate is constant, and thus hav
arrived at probable figure for the tempera-
ture of the earth's fiery heart. But this
comes out thus SO enormous that one cannot
believe it. Four hundred thousand degrees
on the Fahrenheit thermometer is rather too
great warmth to be coolly accepted. II is
three times as hot as the sun, according
to the determination just alluded to,
which finds that the solar furnace would raise
a thermometer-could one be applied-to
1913, 600 degrees. Mind, this is not a guess;
it is deduction from the facts that certain
gas flames are blazing under certain con-
ditions in the sun, and that the temperatures
at which these gases flame under similar con-
ditions upon the earth are known are cal
culable. The figure is approximately, if not
absolutely, correct; no doubt it is far nearer
the truth than the conjectural earth-centre
heat. A long mathematical and physical in
vestigation was required to find the sun-heat,
the credit for making which is due to one
Zollner, an Austrian astronomer of high
repute.

INCREDIBLY HoT.-A learned wight, two
centuries ago, addressing the most erudite of
bodies in London upon the arrangement of
the universe commenced his arguments with
this axiom:-"We all know that hell is in the
centre of the EARTH" The good man must
have been overture to the teaching of his
childhood. Philosophy had not made him
unfaithful. He accepted the extravagant
idea that Gehenna is a region of fire, and
assuming that the centre of the earth is in
a molten, fiery condition, he made a self
satisfying fact out of two assumptions. We
have all heard of sect who locate Hades
in the sun; perhaps for the reason that
the heat seems more intense there than
it can be in the middle of our globe. In
possible as it may appear, some notion of the
actual heat of the solar globe has been ar
rived at; and With a greater probability Of

I'm ying the Corner Stone of n New Catholic
Church in Westchestcr County.
In accordance with previous announcement that
the corner stone OF q new Roman Catholic church
would pe laid at Willamsbrdge, Westchester county,
yesterday, large concourse Of people OF both sexes
commenced to assemble there at early hour In the
forenoon, and when by one O'Clock two Overcrowded
trains had arrived from New York aud White Plains
the number on the ground was swollen to not less
than 5000 persons. Among these were several
benevolent and total abstinence societies, In full
regalia and accompanied by bands OF music; also
q procession numbering some 200 boys from the
Westchester PrOectory. Nearly all OF the Organi.
cations present mad marched many miles from
various portions OF the county IN order TO witness
the interesting ceremony. The impressive rite OF
depositing the corner stone was performed by
assisted by Rev. Fathers Ciowry, OF New YOrK;
Conron, Of staten Island; McQuade, OF Fordham;
Cole, Of Westchester; Mclaughlin, OF New Rochelle;
McEvoy, OF White Plains; Hughes, Of Mott Haven;
Kinsella Of Mount Vernon, and Breen OF Manhat-
tanville. Beneath the stone was deposited
box containing, among other articles, copies OF the
NEW YORK HERALD OF the present date and OF 1860,
with coins ana currency OF the United States.
The ceremonies were concluded with an earnest
discourse by The Vicar General, who selected his

am the way, the truth and the life; no
man cometh unto the Father but by me-"
They met in these words one striking ana very
significant characteristic In the teaching OF Christ
He taught OF Himself. He continually presented HIS
their future salvation, and IN this respect He was
separated from all other true teachers OF the divine
law. They sought TO distinguish themselves in tins
respect from HIN. and taught not OF themselves but
OF God, and we admired them. Christ was summed
up In His own personal character, and the question:
what think ye OF Chrlstp' mad occupied their At
WAS the great mediator between God ana
man, and He had right TO claim every
sacrince from US. The reverend gentleman
minds divinity separated from humanity. They
recognized Christ as a man. He was described as
man, and In His lie He was declared to be a man
with true body, one capable OF experiencing PAIN,
becoming refreshed by sleep, and finally passing
through death. II He was an angel IN disguise and
His human form was mere sembance Of man
then they were not certain OF anything about Him.
Thus they had being presented TO them concerning
whom all the testimony Of the Scrip,
lures was satisfied from st t,s 70 @
progress OF the world against heathensm.
The reverend gentleman then spoke or the rna
sacrifice which Chris, had made Tor us upon the
cross, as showing that He was human aud said they
might as well tell him, after bridge had been built
haf way across the rver 70 leap the rest OF the dis
tance and expect him to do 1t, as expect him to
believe in o divinity without humanity. Divinity
and humanity must be combined to make the pass
age over the bridge from Ihis to eternal life CON-
plete
with the benedlcti0n.
