Convention, to-day, motion for bien-
nml meetings WIS tabled, after IL long
discussion.
Ine convention was engaged in dis
oussing the movement of the American
Baptist Educational Commission This

Several eloquent and able Speeches were
made. DR.. Cutting, of New York, the
Secretary of the Commission, explained
the purpose of the work. The Baptists
were century ago actively engaged in
the interest of religious liberty. For

they joined heartily in the revolutionary

tude to God for the great success of their
principles, and also for their large in

rat"lnS several million of dollars in aid
of their several institutions of learning.
DR.. Garry, of Virginia, followed DT.
Cutting in m exceedingly lucid, elo-
quent and effective speech. The enthu-
siasm was so great that the Chair had
constantly to suppress the applause
which broke forth in tho body. Dr..
Winkler, Of Alabama. and DR.. Broadus,
of South Carolina, nlso spoke with great
earnestness and effect. Scarcely any
other business was transacted
The committee on the place of the
next meeting will report in favor of Rich
mond. The trustees Of the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary had II
meeting to-day. They ordered. the work
of endowinS the institution previous to

secuted vigorously. DR.. Boyce was re-
Iuested to continue to act in this work.

coming eighteen months. The conven-
ton appointed committee to nominate
messengers to the American Baptist
Home Mission Society, which meets in
Philadelphia, May 26. In the absence

ming crews of Cornell, freshmen and uni
yersity, were summoned to the ball room
of Congress Hall, where an immense
throng was gathered, and were presented
with United States flag and banner for
each crew and banner to the winner of
the single scull race, Kennedy of Yale.
The flags and banners were annual trophies
bestowed by the college association. 10
addition to these an elegant silver cup was
presented to each member of the winning
crews and to Mr.. Kennedy. The trophies
were presented by Hon. Stephen w. KEEL
logg of Connecticut, in brief and eloquent
speech to each crew, with appropriate re-
marks TO each recipient. The presenta-
ton was accompanied by hearty cheers for
the winners as each member of the crews
advanced to receive his trophy. Cornell's
boys were also presented with magnif-
cent bouquet, and congratulations were
heaped upon them from all sides. At one
o'clock in the morning the streets were
still lively with marching parties of college
boys, venting their enthusiasm in songs
and cheers.

The Mountain Meadow Massacre.

BEAVER, Utah, July Is.
The treachery of John ID. Lee in turning
states evidence in the Mountain Meadow
massacre case is causing much excitement
here. There is strong feeling in favor of
Dame on the part of the people from
southern Utah who are here as witnesses,
many of whom were concerned in the mas.
sacre, and they evince great animosity to-
ward Lee. Beshope Ioge and Spicer,
counsel for Lee, have advised him to tell
the entire story, as they believe that to be
the only way to save their client as well as
to give the world the whole particulars of
the bloody affair. 1t is said by the most
closely connected with the trial that there
are plenty of witnesses here to corroborate
all of Lees statements, which will convict
w. II. Dame and many other high Nor
mon authorities and explain fully every
thing connected with the massacre. Among
the witnesses are some who actually took
part in it and some who attended a meet
ing of the participants after their return
from the field of slaughter. The officers
have had the greatest difficulty in getting
the witnesses for Lees defense. Quite a
number have positively refused and defed
the marshal, while all those on Danes be-
half are present, which is attributed to
the fact that Dame is Mormon in full
| fellowship and Lee is not.

Bound to Win or Die.

BosToN, July 10.
Hugh Donabue, the pedestrian, had ac-
complished 300 of 1,102 miles, which he
undertook to walk in as many consecutive
hours, at noon yesterday. DR.. Whey, the
physician who attended him in his long
journey at Springfield, has arrived at Mvs.
tic park, and says Donahue is In very
critical condition. His pulse beats at nine
ty-four, with respiration at eighteen: he is
very nervous and shakes badly when walk
ing. He seems to be suffering with palpi-
tation of the heart, and his attending ply
stefan says he must be kept very quiet, and
none must talk with him while he is walk
ing. He sleeps 50 soundy that firearms
are discharged to arouse him for his hourly
task. DoDahucs courage is good, and "win
or die seems to be his motto. Springfield
people think he will accomplish his task,
but the betting here seems TO be at odds
against him.

The Death Of George Walker.

Yesterday a young man about twenty
two years of age, named George A. Walker.
committed suicide by shooting himself
through the heart. The deed was done in
the Oakland house. at which he boarded,
on the corner of Third street and Broad
way. 1t seems that the deceased has COM
planned of being unwell for few days,
though he was up town at s o'clock in APP
parently good health and spirits. No cause
is assigned for the rash act, but
it Is possible that letter found
on his person explains why he
made away with himself-no less
than love affair. He was in the employ
of Blethen & Terry, and is spoken of as be-
ing an exemplary young man. He was
found undressed in bed, an ovclcoat thrown
hastily across him, and the weapon, five
shooter, by his side. He has parents liv-
ing in Rutland, Vermont, and an aunt re-
siding in this city. Further particulars
will no doubt be brought to light at the in
vuest, which will be held this morning

Arrested for Robbery.
CINCINNATI, July 10.

CINCINNATI, July 10.
The Enquirer's Canton, Ohio, special
says, Jerome Markell has been arrested
there on suspicion of having with accom-
plices committed the most extensive rob-
berry that has ever occurred there. The
property stolen consists of nearly $4,000
in mortgage notes, $500 dollars worth of
silver ware, gold and silver watches and
other articles of the total value of about
500, 900, which was owned by Miss Cath
crime Meyer The first intima,ion the lady
had of her loss was the receipt of letter
asking how much she would give for the
recovery of her property. The matter was
at once put in the hands of the police who
arrested Markell and were shown by him
where the valuablos were buried. All were
recovered except one watch and some
minor articles of jewelry. Markell in de,
fault of bail was committed for trial. 1t is
thought he will implicate others in the
robbery.

resolution directing the directors to bring
an action in behalf of the company, in law
or in equity, against the Atlantic and Pa
cific telegraph company, was lost by a

A Hundred Horse Thieves.
TOPEKA, Kansas, July /

Topeka, Kansas, July 10
A daring band of horse thieves, number
ing 100 or more, IS operating in ArkanEs
valley and along the Kansas border of the
Indian territory. The band is thoroughly
organized. One of its leaders, noted
frontier robber named Burnett, was re-
Gently captured down in the territory, and
brought up to Wichita, but escaped from
jail at that place Sunday night, and is
again at large. On Monday ten more of
the band were brought into Wichita by Il
party of soldiers, they having been arrested
about eighty miles west of the Cheyenne
agency, with lot of stolen stock in their
possession at Dodge City. There is great
excitement among the citizens, and they
will undoubtedly lynch a number of the
outlaws.

WASHINGTON, July IL

WASHINGTON, July 10.
The vessels sent by the navy to the Rio
Grande are of the mouth OF that river, not
yet having been able to cross the bar. The
unexpected success thus far of the Mexi-
can government in disposing of Cortini has
led to the hope that the border difficulties
may be more easily suppressed than before
seemed possible. 1t is pretty certain that
hereafter when bodies of raiders are en-
countered by our troops they will be treated
with as much severity as the rules of civil
lied war will permit, for it is acknowledged
that civil processet In Texas are powerless
to deal with the arrested criminals.
