Several barrels Of coal oil standing
near a circus tent at New Orleans got on
fire. fow days ago, setting a boys
clothes ablaze. He ran for the tent, and
the fame caught on the canvas. The
crowd within we're panic-stricken, and
rushed for the door. The animals, too,
caught the excitement and made frantic
efforts to break their cages. This, ofcourse,
frightened the people still more. The
jam was terrible, and the weak ones were

The SIAMEsE Twins. AT the meetipo
OF the college of physicians and surgeons
OF Philadelphia Tuesday night, four sur.
geons were appointed to conduct the au-
topsy of the bodies Of the Siamese twins
The contract with the family of the late
twins provides that the examination shall
be conducted only so far as to settle tho
scientific questions, forbidding any un-
necessary mutiIation of the corpses. No
photographs are to be given to the world,
All negatives shall become the property of
the widows, and all money reverting to
them. The contract also torbids all cut
ting OF the connecting band in front, and
1t strictly insists that all dissection of the
same shall be made from the rear, so as
not to interfere with the appearance of the
bodies after scientific courtesy is satisfied.
IL is evident that the family of the late
twins intend to use the corpses hereafter
for their own pecuniary emolumcnt.
Or. Pancoast says that he found the
uniting membrane to be about four inches
in diameter, hard rosistible in substance.
and not at all shrunken or apparently Al.
tered since death. Otherwise the bodies
present the ordinary appearance of their
race after death. The accumulation of
gases naturally resulting was got rid Of
by puncturing the bodies and SO admitting
OF their escape before the cmbaIming pro-
cess vas carried out. DIR. Pancoast as.
sures us that neither be nor his colleagues
have made any attempt whatever to arrive
at a premature solution Of this physical
mystery. Nothing will be communicated
to tho public till such time as DR.. Pan
coast aud hia associates have drawn up
scientific and technical report Of the re-
suit Of the autopsy. This will be printed
with explanatory diagrams, and will bo
officially offered to The medical world.

Gracefully the trifer strung.

THE ROSS CHILD.

HOW 1T WASN'T FOUND LAST NIGHT.
A rumor was current last night that the lost
Ross child had been found in this city, and that
the parties having him in charge had been ar
rested and locked up at police headquarters. The
report soon spread, and for awhile the widest ex-
element prevailed. A visit to the detective
office revealed the following facts: About $50
o'clock two young men, between twenty-five end
tWenty-four years of age, entered the detective
Office and asked to be shown the picture Of the
abducted child in possession Of the detectives
The request was granted, and the young men,
after careful examination, stated that the child
was at promIpent hotel in charge Of q man and
two women. The men, who were very much ex-
cited, were put through q severe eross-eIamina-
ton, and from them it was CLEANED that they be-
long to Philadelphia, but had lately been in Rich
mond. Yesterday they took the train for Wash
ington, and among the passengers were the man,
women and child above mentioned, who acted In
. rather Suspicious manner. The compilations Of
the adults were dark, while the child was very
fair, and seemed TO fear the women, but would 20
to the man whenever he called #. The party,
sfter reaching Washington, repaired to the hotel,
where they took quarters. After hearing this
statement the detective officers Immediately be-
gan the work Of inquiring into the facts but ater
thorough sitting came to the conclusion that
the young men had no ground for suspicion, and
that they were OVerzealous and excited.

In connection with the recent trouble In the

congregation:
THIRD EPISCOPAL DIS OF A. M z. CHURCH.
(OHIo, PITTSBURG AND kENTUCKY,) 7
To all the officers and Members or TsrasE CRsirch, n
the City Of WdshfH gtoH, D. O., greeting:
MY DEGR BRETHREN AND SIsTERs: In answer
to q telegram received from Rev James Reed, on
Sunday, I'd inst, now send you some Of the res-
sons which prompted me to send my telegram on
the same morning, from Lewistown, Pa, beseech-
the 4. NJ Z z church now, Su. to wait and refer
your case to the General Conference of 1878. My
reasons for this recommendation are:
l. Because believe the common sense, that Is
the practical wisdom, Of the General Conference
Of 20 will lead them to the conclusion that name
Is Of comparatively little value in government,
but the heart and the will are all important, for
q name has no binding force when the affections
attitude.
70, knowing your past obedience and having con-
fdence IN your future loyalty, must be willing to
admit your ancient form OF deed, though some
what modified as part and parcel Of the A. NJ. E.
;. Inasmuch as the Methodist Episcopal Church
does not demand that the pastor shall Be er-of cio
president Of the board Of trustees, 1 believe our
General Conference of 1876 will follow their pru-
dent example, so that, in every case, where lay
man may be sufficiently intelligent and equally
trustworthy, he shall be elected chairman Of the
board of trustees.
/ am sure that such legislation will be more
likely to gain the affections and secure the 10y
sltT Of the entire laIty Of our Church than the
coptrary. -a.-...
In conclusion, let me say, that points Of dis
putes between you and Bishop Campbell are all
subjects Of legislation, over which his colleagues
have no control; because our functions and powers
are limited 70 the practical workings Of the pas
torate, And, now, may our adorable Saviour,
who still walks amid the golden oandlestlcks,
holding the stars In His own right hand, keep
your minds and hearts IN unity, peace and love
till the meeting OF the General Conference of
1915, o, may He be your light, your guide, your
shield, your buekler, now and ever more, Amen.
