NEW York, Oct. 27.-The revival meeting in
Brooklyn this morning was so large that the
tabernacle was found inadequate to accommo-
cate all who sought admission The doors of
the Lay college adjoining were thrown open
and the crowds poured into that building.
That meeting was led by Rev. DR. Cuyler
while the meeting in the tabernacle was led by
Mr.. Moody.
After the opening exercises, Mr.. Moody read
the portion of scripture relating to the healing
of the leper. The point of the sermon was that
the leper was healed not by his own faith but
by the faith of the four men who let him down
to Jesus through the house top.
Rev. DR.. Talmage delivered an address in
which he related some interesting incidents
in his own family. Rev. Mr.. Greenberry from
Leeds, England, also made an interesting ad'
dress.

commenced in Liverpool by passengers of the
almost wrecked sreamer Montana, aud COM
mittee of passengers was also formed, which
gave their chairman the power of attorney to
act for them here. He yesterday obtained the

the como uct Of Falrchid, the American consul

of their chief, Father Mcnamara, with an axe
held over their heads, their hands crossed over
basin of blood, ard then drink goblets of
blood to seal their oath. Last week they OBJ.
tanned milk can of blood from an up town

The intended victim has put himself under
the protection of theeauthorities, but fears he
may be shot In day or two, as it is known
that Walsh bought a seven-shooter revolver
after being ordered to kill him.
