FREE THOUGHT AMONG THE GERMANS.

DIR. Lilienthnl the Dnrwinian Theory.
DR.. +. W. Llienthal, German physician OF this
city, delivered lecture on the Darwlnian theory
before the German Freethlnkers' Union, 101 Hes
ter street. yesterday evening. This society an as
sociati0n OF Germans who discuss general topics
from the standpoint OF the most radical and abso-
lutte freedom. The Doctor said that things as they
existed IN nature were not created after perfect
pattern by Divine Maker, as generally believed
nor were they absolutely perfect. He selected the
eye and the heart, which were commonly consid-
ered as the most wonderful organs OF the human
bony to illustrate his opinion. He gave short
anatomical des cription OF these two parts OF the
human body, and attempted In an ingenious manner
to snow that these organs might IN some respects
be more perfect, and were capable Of improvement.
The lecturer stated that the physical man, as he
appeared now, was not physically perfect, could
be seen from some minor parts or his organization
for which the physicians had not yet discovered any
use necessity. The lecturer then gave tllustra.
tons from the animal world, showing how they
had improved from lower organizations to their
present appearance. He concluded by saying that
as man had been developed by ages or impro vement
under the process Of natural selection from an In
feror organization 10 his present high type In the
future Improvement was also possible and probable
The genus homo was still IN state OF transition:
and progress IN the physical conformation of man
mad not ne believed, as yet ceased. 1t was an b.
surd error In the light OF advanced science to be-
lieve the orthodox wOrld nculcated. that we had
been created after fixed type or had at present at
taned d fixed type.

acter OF the STOCK their Efforts to save the building

high, was entirely gutted. The nremsn succeeded
stocks OF about dozen dnerent parties were more or
less seriously damaged. Oaldweil's loss Is esti.
mated at ABOUT $4,000, probably fully covered by

majority Of the papers Of this city yesterday
morning contained some startling information in
reference to the Nathan MURDER In which 1t was as
serted that Chicago detective named Flicker had
discovered the murderer and had in his possession
one Of the diamond studs torn from the
shirt bosom OF Mr.. Nathan; also locket said
to belong to the family. The reason assigned
for not arresting the individual and handing him
over to the officers OF the law was fear
on the part Of this expert from Chicago that he
would be defrauded out Of his portion OF the large
reward offered. 1t was also charged that at con.
versation with Superintendent Keso the latter had
demanded that all the detectives in his department.
should have an equal share OF the reward. In q
conversation with superintendent Keiso yesterday,

any such demand from the Chicago gentleman
but on the contrary, informed him II he had any In
formation that would lead to the arrest Of the
derer TO make 1t known at once and he would re-
celve oil the rewards that had been offered. He fur
ther stated that In his opinion, the Chicago
detective knew more in reference to the murderer
than does windy parsonage who styles himself an
