The friends of Henry Ward Beecher
think that the real cause for the bitter
ness and, malignity with which Mr..
Bowen follows up Mr.. Beecher is on
account of journalistic rivalry. The
Independent, owned by Bowen, finds a
strong rival in the Christian Union
owned principally by Mr.. Beecher.

Death Of Hiram Powers.

A New York Herald cable special
from Florence, Italy, dated June 9th,
announces the death of H ram Pow ers,
the American Sculptor.
Hiram Powers. sculptor, born at
Woodstock, VT, July 10Th, 1905. was
waiter at hotel, travelling for trades
man and apprentice to clockmaker at
Cincinnati. He received his FIRST
instruction in modelling from Prussi-
an sculptor, who happened to be IN
that city executing a bust of Gen.
Jackson, and in short time learned
to form busts himself, aud well-execut-
ed medallious. Encouraged by the
success of these early efforts, he went
to Washington, whence. owing to the
assistance of patron, Mr.. Longworth,
he was enabled to start in 1888 for
Florence. After much studlous ap-
plication. he produced in 1888, his
figure Of "Eve," followed by the
Greek Slave" exhibited in the Lon
don exhibition of 1851. This statue
has been widely celebrated, and placed
its creator in the front rank of living
sculptors. Copies of it have been
ordered by the most eminent English
and continental connoisseurs, and by
several distinguished American art
collectors. Among Mr.. Powers other
works may be named III Penseroso,"
"The Fisher-boy," California"
America" statues of Washington
and Calhoun, butss of Chief Justice
Marshall, Adams, Webster, Van Buren,,
and others.

BEECH sR.-The New York cores
pendent Of the Buffalo Commercial
says
The better opinion among "lovers
Of good men" is that MIR. Beecher
will come out of the ordeal clear and
clean, 81 far as criminal conduct is
concerned, but by no means clear Of
lndiscretion (rather passive than posi-
tive on his part) such as almost surely
gives occasion in the world like this
for the making and believing of the
grossest charges. The fondling folly
of some Of Mr.. Beechel's female ador-
ers, unopposed by compensation of
wisdom on his part, has much to an.
swer for all this misery and shame.
The uncharitable and Incompetence
ing world without cannot understand
certain grades Of loving familiarity,
however, innocent in fact on any other
than that of criminal intimacy. Many
women it is certain, have been madly
in love with Mr.. Beecher. I know
one. Many others have lavished up
on him the fondest idolatry, as sort
of god eager to kiss the hem of his
garment; and when favored with &C..
tual intimacy~-we all know what such
womea will do. There is some founda-
ton for the story that Mr.. Beecher
had made confession and asked for
giveness. A friend of mine has seen
the letter. But there is nothing Of a
criminal nature confessed; only just
such indiscretions as indicated.

The Xenia Torchight of last week
makes an extract from an editorial of the
HERALD two weeks ago, on the subject of
railroad from Dayton through Nenia and
this place to the great coal mines East
and SOUTHEAST Of US, and adds the follow
ing appropriate thoughts and suggestions
on the subject:
1--WE do not know exactly to what cause
to ascribe the Indifference of the Dayton
iaRa to that route to the coal regions which
lies through this city and Washington C. H.
We have reason to believe that whatever
this cause has been heretofore it will be
removed before distant day, and the Day
ton capitalists led to believe that it is to
| their best interests to encourage movements
which look towards the building of such a
road, especially now that they have proba-
| bly, found our Shoemaker in their Hun
tington. The Symmes' Greek coal road
tarries. The hopes Of the Daytonians are
not budding so freshly as they were. We
do not condemn them for giving their un-
divided energies to the Symmes' Greek
project so long as it was alive. On the
contrary, we admire the spirit and enthu-
siasm with which the Dayton men went
into the enterprise and only regret that it
was not turned in this direction, 1t seemed
to US at the time that the terra incognita.
which a committee of the city of Dayton
went out tosexplOre and concerning which
they brought back reports the most highly
colored that we had heard of since the re-
turn of the adventurous SpaniardS from
| the New World in the days of Ferdinand
and Isabella, would prove as deceitful as
it was roSeate hued. In short, it looked
| ItI-o TIM hod honn Aolihnr1 faI ITT
worked up'' for the purpose of firing the
imagination of the citizens and inspiring
| them to renewed and continuous effort.
Had half the enthusiasm been given to the
natural coal route through this city, and
through a country that needed no COM
mittee to explore its unknown advantages,
Dayton would have at this moment been
enjoying coal road at at least half the ex-
pense rated for the other project.
Fortunately the advantages of the more
easterIy and direct line through this city
are we'll known. The stretch of country
over which rnad could be constructed is
almost plain; will penetrate more of an
agricultural country, and be fed by popu-
lation yearning for an outlet in the direc-
ton of Dayton. This alone ought to be a
consideration worth mentioning to the Day
ton people. There is great local need Of a
Toau plsectlHS Che country from east "
west, running across and not parallel with
the great trunk lines. The Symmes Greek
road would probably never have been any
thing more than very expensive Goa
road, and nothing else: the Xenia and
Washington road would be rendered al
most self-sustaining by its local traffic alone
As has been repeatedly said, it is graded
large portion of the way. 1t could bt
identified to advantage with the Baltimore
& Ohio road. Other advantages it woulC
have besides, which we will not pursue a
present. We trust the day is not far dis
tant when the people of Dayton will lool
at it in the same light"
