who have been committing outrages
there.
Col. Higgins, United States Deputy

A Tribune special dated Raleigh, N.
c., May "A, says Marshal Hester, assisted
by United States troops from Raleigh, ar
rested sixteen persons alleged to be con-
cerned in recent Ku-Klux outrages in
Rutherford county. No show of resist
ance was made, and the accused were
handed over to the Sheriff. They are
well known men, and some possess con-
siderable property. The Sheriff released
them on personal recognisance TO appear
before Commissioner Moore, at Shelby,
Cleveland county. The general impress
ion is that the arrests mightas easily have
been made without troops. The soldiers
have returned to Raleigh.
Gov. Caldwell, of North Carolina, has
issued proclamation of warning to the

of Supday-ScboOl text books, embracing,

The following resolution from the Com
mittee on Uniform Lessons was adopted:
ResolUed, That it is the sense OF this
committee that our Uniform lessons have
been so far tried in our Sunday-schools,
as 10 commend them to the approval
of our peo. lie. We therefore rec
ommend their introduction and use.
The following resolution was offered by
p. A. Peterson, and adopted:
Resolved, That our new Sunday school
tune and hym book entitled the lamar
apth.n published by our book agent meets
with our unqualified approval, not only
on account of the excellence OF Its tunes,
but also because of the superior quallly
of the poetry, and we recommend us
use in all our schools.
The following report was submitted
from the Committee On Statistics and
adopted:
To the President and Members of the sundsy
school Convention:
Dear Brethren: Your committee to
whom was referred the matter of Sun
day-school statistics, beg leave to submit
the following as their report:
However, before submitting for your
consideration the results of our investiga-
tiop. it is proper here to state that only
sixty.fiv schools responded to the call for
statistical information made by the COM
mittee raised for that purpose, by the
General Conference.
And it is the opinion of your commit
fee that it would be unsafe to predicate
any results upon the reports of these six
ty-five schools, as far as sscertaining the
number in our schools, volumes in libra
ry, periodicals taken, and money raised
for the various purposes of Sunday school
work is concerned, in view of the fact
that the majority of these schools report
ed are thelarger schools, and hence no
adequate conception of the true answers
to these questions can therefore be sscer-
tanned from this source. However, we
attempt the answer to these questions,
obtaining our information from the an
nual Conference reports, and from the
reports from these sixty five schools, as
they afford us much valuable information
and we feel justified in seeking answers
to many inquiries, in taking these papers
as basis.
We do not claim perfection therefore,
for the following table of figures, but
under all the circumstances it is the best
we can do. In many particulars 1t Is
nearly correct, in others perhaps moi
very far wrong.

inches, and each individual hair standing
on its own end, indicates the mortal ter
ror naturally induced by supernatural

disappear; blind ignorance, which pre-
tends to disbelieve everything contradic

itself confounded. The wonder is tho
greater that the apparition should be the

NATURAL GAS N New ORLEANs.-
\ New Orleans man, who sunk we'll in

found, when he had reached the depth of
forty-six feet, that there was a sudden
and very powerful fow OF gas from it.
He immediately closed the pipe, thinking
to utilize this gas for illuminating purpes-

the idea struck him to direct it into the
boiler OF one of his engInes, and expert
ment with it in making steam. But no
sooner had the connection been made
than the engine began TO run entirely BY

water in the hume will have head of FIVE

them dry and clamorous for more water.
