Cole, President of the Nashotia TheolOgi-
cal Seminary. DIR. Falk seconded the
nomination. He said his first choice was
still DR.. DeKoven, but that gentleman per-
empt0rily declined to be candidate.
DIR. Cole expressed his gratitude for the
compliment. He would not refuse TO ac-
cept if he believed that his election would
contribute to the unity of the Diocese. But
he knew that it wouldD not. He, therefore, de-
clined and nominated Rev. John Henry
Hobart Brown, rector of the Church at
Cohees. New York.
The clergy then proceeded TO vote with
the following result: Brown, IS; Kemper,
81; scattering, 2. DIR. Brown was, there
fore, declared to be the choice of the clergy.

MODERN SPIRITUALISM.
A Nashville Bible Class ON that Sub
Jeet.

A Nashville Bible Class ON that Sub
Jeet.
To the Union and American:
On Sunday, the 14th inst, the Bible
Glass connected with the Central Baptist
Sabbath-school had under consideration the
subject of modern spiritualism.
The question was asked: us there any
warrant in Scripture or reason for the
belief that the spirits Of the dead return to
this earth, and that they can and do COM
municate to the living important infOma-
ton which cannot be learned from any 9TH
er source"
In answer to this question il was urged
that the testimony Of men, unimpeaehable
for veraeity. had been adduced to prove that
the spirits of the dead had been seen and
recognized, and that communications had
been made through mediums that were uIi-
explainable upon any other hypothesis than
that Of spiritual inter-communicatiOu be-
tween the living and the dead.
On the other hand it was argued that
Moses and the prophets under the old dis
pensation and Christ and the apostles un-
der the new, have presented to the world
a full and complete Divine reyela-
tion plainly written and containing all
things necessary to be known by us con-
cerning the state of the dead;
That under the Mosaic dispensation,
the consulting of the spirits of the dead
was forbidden by the Divine law, and pun
ishable in the severest manner; in fact 1t
was capital crime, the penalty for which
was death.
Under the new dispensatiOn Christ him
self teaches us, in the parable of the rich
man and Lazarus:
/. That communication between the
spirits of the dead in heaven and the spir-
its Of the wicked in the place of punish
ment is impossible; and
2. That Communication from heaven to
earth through any finite spirit is alto
gether unnecessary. Abraham said, ''They
have Moses and the prophets: let them hear
them"
Finally, it was argued that the Bible,
the Word of God and the infinite Spirit of
God. are the heaven-Ordained means OF
convincing men of sin and turning them to
righteousness, and if men will not hear
them, neither would they be persuaded
though one rose from the dead; therefore
the class was of opinion that modern spir-
itualism is contrary to Scripture and
reason. BAPTIST.

tails.

The Bradley HOrrOr-siekeninz De-
tails.
CINCINNATI, June 1.-THE murder of
the Bradley family at Lawrenceburgh yes
terday grows more sickeDing in its horrors
the more 1t is investigated. A post NOR
TEN shows that the person of Mrs. Bradley
as violated, and the murder followed evi-
IDENTIFY to conceal this crime. The two
girls killed were not violated. A babe in
the arms Of the mother and a boy three
testify. The instrument used was
done Yesterday forenoon. The little boy
who escaped, was noticed by q neighbOring
plowman crying piteously about noon, but
the terrible truth was not discovered till
nearly 5 O'Clock, and then by neighbOrs
daughter who happened to stroll into the
house. The most intense excitement is
created in the neighborhOOd and in Law
renceburgh. The house was poor log
cabin, fifteen feet square, and there could
not have been ten dollars in it.
William and Charles McDOll, two brothers,
relatives of the Bradley family, have been
arrested. Chsrles McDoll has given eVi-
dence pretty satisfactorily proving an alibi.
VIM. McDOll is still held. He does not
give a good account of his whereabouts
Monday night and Tuesday afternoon and
what is worse for him, his boots exactly fit
the tracks found around the house. One
foot track shows a part of the sole Of the
boot gone and the identical part of the sole
of McDolrs corresponding boot has been
found to be lacking. McDoll is very
rough ignorant farm-laborer.

The Failure of the Turner
Brothers.
A Result of Last FaIIs Panic.

A Result of Last Falls Panic.
New YORK, June 1.-THE history of
the house of Turner Brothers which sus-
pended yesterday is good as related by
friends. They began business in 1874,
making specially of cOrdials, liquors, fruits
and sirups, shipping large quantities OF the
latter to the West Indies, and they were
very successful, and rs their resources in
creased they expanded their business, TAX
ing a large interest in petroleum which
amply repaid them for their ventures. The
firm increased in prosperity and numbers,
until there were eight brothers in it. They
had begun the banking business and from
4 shabby little office they entered into a
large marble building in Nassau street,
which they erected themselves and which it
was understood they had afterwards sold at
handsome profit to the Fourth National
Bank and Life Insurance Company now
occupying it. They dealt largely with
railroads, and generally successfully, until
the coming of the panic, which they with
stood up to this time, when they felt the
necessity of suspending. While they had
the money wherewith to have continued
for some time longer, they did not see their
way out of their troubles, and they con-
cluded that in justice to themselves and
their general creditors, they had better
close Immediately and find cut their true
position. They were known to be large
holders of real estate, and the present dis
turbed state Of that market precluded the
negotiation of their property.
Fears of More Failures.
A great many stories have been started
in regard TO the solvency of some of the
most prominent officials of the Railroad
Directory connected with the embarrass-
ments of Turner Brothers, and to these
stories the Post says is due in a great meas
use the unsettled feeling which prevails at
the Stock Exchange.
The Building Blockade.
The bricklayers' strike has so far pro-
duced no result satisfactory to either
strikers or employers. The agents OF a
corporation known as the New York Ital-
ian Labor Company, offered to furnish
Italian bricklayers in the place of strikers
for from s. to $3.50 per day. They say
they have 200 or 800 good bricklayers who
are anxious to get work and for whose
good conduct they will be responsible.
None of these men were employed, as the
contractors felt confident they could get as
many English-speaking bricklayers as they
wanted. A disagreement among the en-
ployers continues, and several who have de-
cided to pay 81 day do not attend the
meetings.

TOBACCO PLANTING AND CIGARS
IN CALIFORNIA.

Tobacco planting promises to re-
ceive great impetus In California.
The Lake County Bee says that Mr.. A.
A. Ritchie, of that place, has set out
10000 plants on the Guenoc Ranch,
and intends putting out 100000 more.
An incorporated company have set out
a million plants in Los Angeles coun-
ty, and in Santa Cruz county 500, 900
plants have been set out. The Gilroy
Advocate asserts that the cigars and
tobacco give universal satisfaction at
the East. 1t says:
The first shipment of some sixty
thousand cigars and three thousand
pounds of smoking tobacco arrived
there in good order, and will be imme-
diately followed by a still larger ship
ment. The force Of hands at both the
Culp factories will be much increased
IN a short time, and the shipments
East will average at least one hundred
and fifty thousand cigars and ten thou
sand pounds of smoking tobacco month
ly, during the next year.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS,

One star differeoh from another in
glory. Vermont and Indiana are silent
about negro rights, while Illinois blares
out trumpet-tongued- Again, Vermont
endorses Grants Administration.
while the two Western States are re-
narkably silent on this head. Indiana
goes so far as to endorse Morton in a
way that antagonizes him to the Wash
ington Tycoon, while it is evident
enough that Logan runs the Illinois
machine. There is a sad diversity on
finance. Vermont sticks to the plat.
form Of 1872, and thanks Grant
for his veto. Indiana says almost
nothing except to advocate the
free extension of banking system
tnat it denounces as a monopoly. 1t
urges proper volume and distribution
of currency, but fails to indicate its
opinion of the present volume or dis
tribution. Illinois is more outspoken
IN direct antagonism to Vermont, al
though It may be puzzling to reconcile
its successive resolutions. The second
one condemns the Immediate" cancel
Iatlon of greenbacks because they are
safe and convenient currency, bearing
no interest. Yet the fourth resolution
opposes any increase of this safe, con-
venlent and cheap currency, actually
advocating its gradual retirement.
They seem to want more of bank cur
rency, equally safe perhaps, but not so
convenient because not legal tender,
and not SO cheap, because the people
have to pay interest on it.

THE PROSPECTS FOR CALIFORNIA
WINES.


WINES.
The San Francisco Bulletin has the
following remarks upon this subject:
A few days ago the telegraph re.
ported that the vines in the yards of
France had been seriously injured by
frost, and the prospect of another
short vintage was the result. Last year
the vineyards in the southern depart
ments of France and in the German
Rhenish provinces suffered considera-
bly from the same cause, the vintage In
some sections falling short nearly two
thirds of the average. II the present
reports concerning the French vine
yards are true, the probability is that
the German vineyards have not es-
capped. Should that prove to be the
case, the coming vintage will be rep
etition Of last years experience.
There is possibility, however,
that French wine dealers will be
again resorting to the tactics practiced
by them for the last ten or twelve years
circulating false reports relative to
the grape crop for the purpose of
stiffening the prices of French wines.
What effect a short vintage IN Europe
this year will have upon California
wines is difficult to predict. Last year
the California vintage did not exceed
100000 gallons, or 80 per cent less
than the average, yet there was no ap-
preciable change in prices, nOtwith-
standing the failure of European vines.
This eoincident failure in the grape
crop ought to have done the vinicul-
turist some good, in the way of bet
ter price for what he was able to turn
out of his presses, The only effect 1t
did have was to give him a reader sale,
at former prices. Had the vintage
been a full one, or had there been no
damage done to the European vine
Yards, the chances are that there
would have been a universal tumble in
the prices of the whole line of native
wines. California vineyards this year
promise well. The vintage will proba-
bly, be the largest ever harvested in
the State. The vineyards of Los An
geles, Anaheim and CucumODga, which
suffered exceedingly last year from
frosts, are this year IN full bearing,
while SOnOma vineyards give promise
of yielding extraordinary crops. Com
petent judges estimate that the yield
will not be less than 100000 gallons
of wine. The quantity of brandy man.
ufaetured in addition, will depend en-
tirely on the nature of the tax imposed
on the distillers. At least 100000 gal
Ions of brandy are estimated to have
been thrown away last year in the form
of refuse from the presses, which could
not be proftably worked off in conse-
quence Of the excessive tax levied.
