there were none more loyal than those who
dwell beyond the sea, andto assure him that
in this age when there is such infdelity

THE Synod of the Reformed Episco-
pal Church, in session IN New York,
voted out of the creed yesterday the
article ''He descended into He'll" One
of the debaters said this expression has
been In use since A. D. $50. The new
Church is supposed to represent the
progressive spirit of the age, but the
older Churches might for the nonce
assume the critical, scientific method,
and ask what further information has
been obtained since A. d. $50 concern
ing the whereabouts of the Saviour
from his death to his resurrection.

Some DisgracefuI Incidents of the
Crusade.
CINCINNATI, May ia serious dis
turbance occurred on Fremont street this
afternoon where nineteen women were
praying in front of saloons. A crowd of
about 500, mostly Germans pressed on the
women and used insulting language. Only
one policeman was on the ground. Mayor
Johnston arrived and requested the women
to return to the church, as with the small
force of police he would be
unable to protect them. The ladies
said God would protect them. When
the ladies sang or prayed the crowd struck
up chorus drowning their voices. Soon
after the crowd pressed upon the women
and commenced swaying in a mass. One
old lady was thrown headlong into the
street, but fortunately was not injured.
Fighting commenced, and a reporter of a
German paper was struck several times,
and finally driven away. The women find
ing no other way possible, escaped from the
crowd one by one and returned to the
Church. The Mayor will issue an order to
prevent the women from praying OH the
streets hereafter.

A Steamer I'm Possession of MufinOus
Negro Crew for Several Hours.


Negro Crew for Several Hours
CAIRO, Ills, May 15.-An officer of the
steamer James Howard Whose crew mu-
TIMED yesterday on account of a negro deck
hand being put off for robbing passenger
contradicts the statement telegraphed last
night that the mutiny was quelled prompt
ly. He asserts that the crew virtually had
possession of the boat until the armedforce
from here boarded her. The negroes drove
the officers up stairs and warned them not
to come down or land the boat. As no
arms were to be had the officers made
no resistance. The boat was run near
enough % the wlaf boat at Hickman to
throw offa telegram to the United States
Marshal at Cairo, asking for posse to
meet the boat below the city, and our in
formant states that the welcome hail from
the tug was the first assurance they had
that the telegram had come through, and
that the officers were once more masters of
the situation.
LATER.-The negroes arrested by the
steamer Howard on charge of mutiny were
examined before United States Commits
sioner Candee and bound over in the sum
OF $500 each to appear at the next term
Of the court.

HOW BOOK BEER GOT HIS MAIZE.


In the former German kingdom Of
Hanover there is town named Elm
beck, where, as early as the eighteenth
century because of the most excellent
water suitable for brewing beer, there
were 800 breweries exporting their pro-
ducts at time when IN the whole Of
Germany you could hardly find glass
of tasteful beer. The expectation was
especially made to Bavaria, and above
all It's capital, where Of course that
beer, to distinguish it from domestic
beer, was called Eimbecker beer, then
Beck beer, and at last Buck beer, buck.
Since the brewing business has been
eminently improved, the number of
breweries at Eimbeck has so much de-
creased that now, according to a gen.
tleman formerly our fellow citizen and
raised at Eimbeck, there are at that
town but sixty breweries-
