the other entering the right breast of the
Judge just below the nipple. The wounded

A Row Between Holy Men.

The following report is given of an episode
at the meeting of the Baptist Home Mis-
sionary Society in Philadelphia, last week:
Rev. DR.. Fulton moved that a special
secretary for the mission work in the South
be appointed. DR.. Fulton supported his
resolution in brief address, urging that
the churches in the South were not able
to do the work there by themselves, and
should receive special assistance and coun-
sci from the churches in the North.
Rev. DR.. Barnes Sears, of Virginia, replied
that the churches in the South were ad-
vancing steadily, and were in an encour-
aging condition, and that the Rev. Nathan
Bishop, who has charge of the work among
the freedmen, is fully competent to manage
it without the assistance which Dr. Fulton
proposes to give him. The interest of the
churches in the South might be subserved
by continuing the present arrangement.
The Rev. DR.. Fulton replied that Rev. DR..
Sears would naturally feel that the churches
in the South were in a good condition, from
the fact that he himself was not in need,
since he was the well paid superin ntendent
of the Peabody fund, and working that
fund in the interest Of himself and his
friends.
This remark was greeted with indignant
cries and misses from all parts of the house.
and DR.. Fulton subsequently apologized to
DR.. Sears and disclaimed any intent to cast
reflection upon his personal character

The Argentine Republic.

HAVANA, June 2-The Argentine trans
port Ping, with seventy two political pris
oners. arrived here on Sunday from Monte
video, making the passage in ninety four
days. The prisoners comprise those who
were implicated in the Flores rebellion.
Flores and several persons who had been
banished from Cuba in former years as
enemies of Spain.
The government refused to permit the
prisoners to land. alleging as reason for
this action the informality of the ships
papers. The Ping being in reality Spanish
merchant bark, which had been chartered
by the Argentine government, Captain Cen
eral Vam aseda has telegraphed to Madrid
for instructions, and the Ping remains under
the guns OF a Spanish iron clad. Twenty
five of the prisoners were allowed to en-
bark on the steamer City of Mexico which
left for New York today. Some of the
prisoners are reported to have been men of
wealth and position i'll the Argentine Re
public.
Fire Mt Sen.
The steamer Crescent City, from New
York, arrived here yesterday evening. On
Tuesday at 7:30 p NJ, when the steamer was
opposite SombrerO light, some fiues in the
the furnaces and threw the burning cinders
from three Of them into the coal bunkers.
The coal instantly took fire and the bunkers
were soon in a blaze, the flames rising ten
feet high and rushing up the ventilator to
the upper deck.
The engineer closed the ventilator before
the woodwork above was ignited. The
alarm was given, but owing to the admira-
bile discipline maintained by Captain Curtis
every man was at the post designated for
him beforehand for such emergencies in less
than two minutes. In three minutes three
streams of water were pouring on the fire,
and within ten minutes the flames were ex-
tinguished. The chief engineer closed the
door OF the engine room to prevent draft
Of air and locked himself in with his men,
while the captain directed the hosemen
where to play upon the fire.
Some of the men by his orders removed
the furniture from the saloons, SO as to
leave the fire nothing to feed upon should
it spread. Preparaiirns were also made to
run the steamer ashore in case of necessity,
but the fire did not extend beyond the en-
CINE room from the moment the yentilatOr
and door were closed. The passengers give
the highest praise to the captain and chief
engineer for their cOolness, courage and
presence of mind and to the crew for the
promptness and order with which they
acted.
ENGAGEMENT with l0surgents.
A body OF 400 insurgents attempted to
enter the town of Las Tunis, on tho twenty
fifth ultimo. They were driven back with
a loss SO far as known of three killed and
several wounded. The garrison lost three
killed.
An Abandoned Schooner.
The naval authorities having charge of
the abandoned schooner, Mary Chiffon,
which has been tloated, are prepared to
turn her over to the proper parties.
