A pabr Found Alive In a CrIb.

A baby was found in a crib floating in
the Ohio river at the head of Montgomery
Island, thirty-two miles below Pittsburg
last week, and was received by Mr.. Allen,
who lives near the island. The child was
living, but has not been identified. In the
Sawmill run district there is but little
chance Of any additional bodies being
found. 1t is probable that the remaining
missing ones lost by the Pittsburg flood
were carried into the Ohio river

BurstIng Of n Reservoir.

Trenton August 3.--The main reservoir
which supplies the city with water gave
way this afternoon, and sent about thirty
million gallons of water over the city and
down Pennington avenue with a mighty
rush, filling the cellars of most of the
houses for quarter of a mile Distant
The chasm in the south end is about
twenty-five feet in extent at the top. No
serious damage aside from filling of cellars,
drowning chickens and carrying away
of fences. 1t was caused by leakage
around an old pipe, which had been left
embedded in the soil ever since the new
reservoir was built. One thousand dollars
will pay all damage aside from that done
in filing cellars. =

COMMON CANT ABOUT CnrRcn TRIALS.
During the slow progress of a recent
notable church investigation, we have
frequently met with the remark in print
and heard it from the lips Of noisy wise.
acres that if the accused had only been
arraigncd before court OF law, the truth
would have been sooner arrived ut and
and he would u1,loubtodly have been
convicted The lea ling thought in such
persons head cy.dently i, that church
trials are less dangerous To the guilty
men who are arraignrd at them than trials

reverse of this notion j. the average fact
We assume now that ,he committee con.
sttutiug the cccle.ih-tical tribunal is not
rndc up OF strict paItisaus of the accused
or men'al numhsculle, but Of men Of at
least ordinary fairness and Intelligence
We remark also, in passing, that the late

men who composed the accidental Jury
/ Though theirs may be conceded to have
been to some extent an exceptional case
in rcgard to these particulars, We do not
think it sufficiently so 10 invalidate the
tho statement that church committees
rank as high in respect TO the qualities
mentioned as 10 legal jurics. When the
former take case in hand they roam
over the widest possible field Of proof
bearing upon it, No allegations are re.
iectcd ard nothing is subjected to strict
rules for the admission Of evidence; as is
the practice in the courts. This cannot
DO otherwise than tend to prejudice the
ease against the accused. A mass of ill.,
coherent surmises founded upon the full.
ness and the disconnected variety Of tes
tlaony, is sure TO create a condemnation
in advance and this too, without the
wish or eonnivance Of anybody-sinplG
as the result OF the nature Of the hurried
mind when brought into contact with {
widely printed scandal Tho chance
between the report Of church committee
