THE sECTARIAN LAND QUESTION.

New York Methodisrs and the state-CIty Gifts
Not To be Accepted.
The New York cypress of last evening has
the following
The Methodist Preachers Meeting was rem
dered especially important to-day by the con-
sideration of DIR. Ferris resolution, which called
for the rejection of municipal grants of money
and land for sectarian purposes.
Rev. Mr.. Willis said that in regard to this re-
solution he thought the proper time had not
arrived for its adoption. The Methodist Church,
he did not think, should be subsidized. But
such charitable institutions as the Old Ladies'
Home ought to be in some degree supported by
the city, inasmuch as it coAd not be considered
sectarian charity in toto. The passage of the
resolution would seriously interfere with the
welfare of this institute he thought, because the
city was about making it a grant of twelvelots of
land. And again, if we refuse it, the Roman
Catholic Church will, in all probability be the
recipients and possessors of the whole. Rather
than this should be SO, would it not be proper
to take part, to be invested in charity under
the conduct of the Methodists /?
DR.. Curry deemed the acceptance of any such
gifts as those mentioned by the former speaker
unwise and calculated to do a great deal of
harm. Therefore, he continued, / advise our
churches to refuse such donations. The Church
OF Rome will never die, because it has exercised
power over the minds of men by which it held
their hearts so as to control their actions. Dur
ing the thousand years of its existence it has
demonstrated its terrible vitality and the power
it wields as a-spiritual corporation Its presence
and insidious growth are highly dangerous to
the interest of republic and the liberties of the
people, and we see how carefully it takes all the
necessary steps to insure its supremacy. Among
these are the means for taking care of the poor,
educating and protecting orphan and founding
children, and nursing invaids. Now, said he,
am not prepared to say that it is always impoi-
tic for the Church to accept gratuities from the
State. 1t is sometimes eXpedent.
DR.. Curry, as a Methodist preacher, and the
editor of its official journal, denounced the do
nation as the price of votes, or ''sop" for the
Metbodists. Again, said he, / shall object to
taking this money from Boss Tweed, because
while he pays the Roman Catholics the lions
share, he throws us this remnant to shut our
mouths. | ask you will you consent to sell
yourselves, and so cheap?
Before the close of the meeting the folio owing
was adopted
Whereas, In the present and prospective con-
dition of ecclesiastic bodies in this State, great
abuses are inseparable from the continuance of
State and municipal gifts to churches and
church institutions, therefore.
Resolred That we respectfully and earnestly
advice ali our Methodist churches and in
stitutions neither to ask nor accept any such
appropriations.

The Commlssien Bills to be NEGATIVELY
Reported.
s. ecidl Despatch 10 The Euenin0 Telegraph
HARRISBURG, March IA The Committee on
Municipal Corporations, of which Mr.. johnson.
of Philadelphia, is chairman, this morning una
nimously agreed to report all of the Commission
bills negatively. This NAV be regarded as abso-
lutely killing the bills, unless two-thirls vote
can be obtained in their favor in the Honse,
which is highly improbable.
1t is not at all improbable that this despatch
is merely intended to dampen the ardor of the
citizens who propose to participate in the indig-
nation meeting at Horticultural Hall this eve.
ming. No reports of the intended action of the
Legislature or the Committee on Municipal Cor
porations are to be credited for moment. The
advocates of the commission scheme will
leave nothing undone to accomplish their
purpose and the citizens of Philadel-
phia will be guilty of the greatest folly
t they allow themselves to be deceived for a
moment by any such assertions as the above.
Despite the positive language of the despatch,
we do not believe that the Committee on NUM-
cpal Corporations has determined 10 report
unanimously against the Commission bills, and
there is but slight probability that the infa-
nous scheme to rob the city of Philadelphia is
in any dapger.-ED. EVENING TELEGRAPH

LABORATORY EXPLOSION.
Probable Fatal Injuries TO a Leading Citizen
of WllminRtOn,

Probable Fatal Injuries to a Leading Citizen
of WlmingtOn.
The Wilmington (Del.) Commercial of last
evening says
Saturday, the terrible explosion, at about
o'clock that afternoon. in the laboratory of
K. Bringhurst d Co., on Sixth street, near Mar
ket, by which Ferris Bringhurst, one of the
members of that well-knoWn firm, received
injuries probably fatal.
Mr.. Bringhurst had been announced to lecture
that evening, before the Workingmen's Institute,
and had gone down to the laboratory to prepare
some gas for his scientific experiments. He was
evidently engaged In making oxygen, using for
the purpose an iron retort. 1t seems probable
that the pipe of the retort had got stopped up.
He had, apparently, noticed that something was
mace and placed it on the brick hearth, when it
exploded with terrible force, throwing pieces of
iron with great force about the room, one of
which struck Mr. Bringhurst directly over the
left eye, completely destroying the eye and
crushing In the skull.
His partners were all in the store at the time,
and hearing the explosion they ran TO the labo-
ratory, where a terrible sight met their eyes.
Ferris was lying entirely insensible, against a
barrel few feet from the furnace, the blood
streaming from the frghtful wound in his head
and the whole rsom bearing evidence OF the
terrible explosion, which had sent pieces of the
burst retoTt flying right aud left and burst the
glass from all the windows. The report OF the
explosion was heard for squares around that
locality.
Dr. fancoast, of Philadelphia, Was telegraphed
for, and came down on Saturday evening. An
operation was performed, removing piece of
iron from the patients brain, but he is still in
sinking condition. ~ -f..r

SMALLPOX IN LONDON.
Terrible Rayages of the Disease.

The London Times, speaking of the smallpox
ravages in the British metropolis, says:-
The last weekly return of the Registrar Gene
raj reported 2lS fatal cases, showing an increase
of "A upon the average of the ten weeks ending
with the 11th of February. 1t was more fatal in
London than the various forms of fever, mea-
sles, whooping-cough, and diarrhBa, all taken
together. Scarlet fever, with its 48 deaths, has
become quite secondary source OF danger. In
fact, we are suffering from an epidemic of small
pox, such as has not been known in London for
at least thirty-one years. On the average, dur
ing that time, the weekly deaths from the dis
ease have been but 16, and the highest number
of deaths In a single week since 1880 was only
102, or less than half the present number. .
The Times also publishes letter from sur
geon at Stoke NewiDgton, giving some terrible
incidents of the disease. The dread entertained
of the infection is pretty sure at once to throw
poor man out of work, and If the complaint
once finds entrance into poor home, of which
the inmates are unvaccinated, the whole family
will probably be stricken at the same time by
the most loathsome sufferings and by complete
destitution. Mr.. Brett described three such
instances in his neighborhood. In one case a
respectable workman had four children Ill of
small -pox; his work was taken away, and him
self and his wife reduced to extreme weakness.
Two of the children died, and when the under
taker came to fetch them he mistook the living
for the dead. The second was a case of three or
four children covered with smallpox and
glued to the floor on which they lay" the father
shivering in the only blanket possessed by the
family. The third case was that OF young
married couple, the father delirious and the
mother SO exhausted that her infant dropped
from her arms. No neighbors would go near
them, and they were dependent for the COM
monest necessaries of nursing upon the personal
labors of some Sisters of Mercy. Such accounts
could hardly be exceeded in misery If we mad
the plague again among us. Even cholera is a
more merciful complaint to the poor than this
revolving scourge.

restraint of their officers, they amused
themselves by pillaging and ill-treating the

she reached under the charge of the mate of an
English brig which fell In with the ship few

We do not think the Journal possessed of

stupidity scithom a single spark of iateit-
genee.-[ Maine Standard.
Whether the above is Dutch, Hebrew, Chi
nese, or Ojibway let those judge who can.
The complaint on which this is hurled at us
10 that we cannot understand our democratic
neighbors. Since they have so much difficult
ty to understand themselves, they ought not
to be surprised if others do not understand
them. Why the changes they have gone
through in the past ten years are enough to
puzzle Greenleaf or Emerson. They are now
about to take new departure, to rub out and
begin anew and after they have gone and done
it, embraced the negro and all that, they viii
swear their principles are just the same al
before, and that democracy never changes

Why, we should rather be called the ''ermin,
of stupidity" or the psrallelogram of igLo

fools into its ranks. If there is any man that
