IBy TIE 8. AND A. TELEGRAPH COMPANY
New YORK, March q.
The statement that the burial OF Foster IN
Greenwood Cemetery was objected to on the
ground of the impropriely OF burylng muir
derpr in The cemetery, is denied. aud 1t is
stated that no objection has been raised, be-
cause IL was understood that no monument
would be erected.
IL was rumored to-day that Fosters body
would be eXhumed and chemical analysis
of the stomach be made 10 ascertain II he had
taken poison previous 10 the execution.
Sheriff Brennan states that there is no loun-
dation for such proceedings. Foster may have
taken poison, but inasmuch as he did not die
IRON its effects, no proposition 10 exuume the
body could be entertained.
Mrs Foster is believed 10 be dylrg con-
sultalion OF doctors was held this afternoon.

THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL MISSION

The ninth anniversary meeting, under the aus
pices OF the Committee OF the Board OF Missions OF
the Protestant Episcopal Church, took place at the
Church OF the Incarnation, Madison avenue and
Thirty.1fth street, last evening The meeting was
opened with the singing OF the hymn, "Watchman,
Tell Us OF the Night" to the air OF a.See, the
Swallows Homeward Fly.n The lesson, the
prayer and the usual exercises were gone
through, and the Rev. John Cotton Smith
SAID that the newly consecrated Bishop OF Lake
Palmas, Africa who would address the audi
ence, had been pupil at the missionary school
on the Rhine, which turns ont so many faithful
hard working men to the cause OF missions. That
brave nation England, when she liberated all her
slaves, did not neglect to iHculcate In them the
principles OF the Christian faith, and already on
the west coast OF Africa there were $4,000 Chris
tans among the natives. Gradually efforts will be
made TO penetrate the interior OF the Continent.
We felt that something ought to be done to better
their condition as sort OF back pay for the suffer-
ings to which we had subjected them. II was O
curious fact that some Of the warmest friends OF
the Mission were Southern men who had owned
race, and the fact That they had been In this
try in the midst OF civilization had only tended to
aegraae snem SUI more ,a ne haes OF ATTIC, f
country.
Bishop Auer was then introduced to the congre.
CATION by the pastor, Rev. DR.. Montgomery. He
gave an interesting statement OF his work In
Africa and OF the work which he had done. He
said IL was hard work to teach these people the
principles OF Christianity, and they looked with
suspicion upon any attempt to teach them and
closely studied the characters OF the men who
did 1t. Any iault on the part Of the teachers
fell upon their ewn heads. The natives
mad all the worst vices OF mankind. They day
have any compunction about what they did. II
however they were discovered they made each
other suffer the cruelest penalties. They are great
thieves and 1t ID very dicult to cure them or the
FAULT 1t Is only after all this that the principles OF
Christianity can be taught.
