Lecture by the Rev. DIR. Bidwell-Explo-

rica-Through Peril to Prosperity.
Last night Dr. Bidwell assumed the rostrum, rod
In hand-a rod not calculated to administer chas-
tsement to the unruy but to point out to his hear
ers the track OF the great African explorers Living
stone and Stanley, over the wide and sometimes
arid wastes Of Central Africa.
Livingstone's first Impressions of the internal
economy Of Africa were erroneous, 1t was
proved, by his diary, by his statements to
his rescuer, Stanley, and by his letters.
1t was absolutely futile, said the lecturer, to
endeavor to trace out the course Of Liv-
ingstone during the many long years he
had been debarred from communication with civil
lization but there remained not the slightest doubt
upon the minds Of the most eminent topOgraphists
in the world that he had reached Ujiji, where he
had the good fortune to meet with the representa-.
tive Of the NEW YORK HERALD.
Through fearful troubles and turmois the adven-
turous Stanley passed. He faced death and dan
ger, his men mutinied. his supplies failed and the
anthropophagus savages threatened to "eat him
without saltn But the brave young man
stood firm; he had undertaken an exped.

speaker nom his heart could say that he firmly be-

had Journeyed on q pleasant picnic from Ujiji to
one OF the confuences Of the River Nile.
Dr. Livingstone's discoveries would be Of magnih-

At an early hour yesterday morning nre broke
out in the house l63 Meadow street while the In.
mates were asleep. Before the discovery OF tho
names two children Of Mr.. F. Schenck were terribly
burned In various parts Of their bodies. 1t Is

prove mortal. The timely arrival OF Oncers Houri-

the fire, which they extnguished In q few minutes.
MIR. Schenck is employed at night by the Morris and
Essex Railroad Company, and just arrived homo
to see the children burned. A Kerosene lamp ia
