Achievement Of the Great
Lightning Express-FrOnl Ocean
to Ocean in so kOurs-What it
Teaches-Our Centennial Year :
The accomplishment of the extraordi-
nary run from New York to San Fran
cisco in SO hours, and almost one third
Of the entire distance over the Fort
Wayne & Pennsylvania Railway, was
a most fitting fulfillment of the promi-
scs made by the management Of this
great line, that in the One Hundredth
year Of our existence as a Nation, a
railway, for the completeness of its
structure, the perfection of it's equip
ment, the most exact expedients for
speed, all modern improvements for
comfort and ingenious combinations for
safety, on the face Of the globe, should
be the Great Ft. Wayne & Pennsylva-
mia Road. How well, truly and faith
fully has that promise been kept, may
be judged by the crowning triumph in
the great race against time of the Jar
rett & Palmer Special San Francisco
Train, which ran from New York to
Chicago in less than Fl hours-a dis
lance Of 912 miles, IA miles be-
tween New York and Pittsburg, was
run by one yocomotj'ye end sgitaout q
single stop-~a feat entirely without
precedent in the annals Of railway his
tory, and teaches us that nothing is
impossible en- the great TT, Wayne &
Pennsylvania Railroad, and that it has
out stripped the progressive railway
rivals, not only Of America, but the
Old World. Foreign newspaper cor
respondents, visiting our Centennial,
overlook the great Exposition and it's
wonders, and ell their first homeward-
bound letters with the advanced ideas
OF the Pennsylvania & Ft. Wayne
Railway system, and invariably and
unhesitatingly pronounce it the model
railway of the world, and America s
fitting representative Of rational en-
gineering, shrewd official observations,
and the early adoption Of all ideas ad-
Vaneln8 the interests and comforts of
its patrons Puliman's New Palace
Sleeping, Drawing Room and Hotel
Cars, are run upon al trains, and the
line being many miles the shortest from
Chicago to New York, Philadelphia.
Baltimore and Washington, the ad-
vantage Of low fares are in It's favor.
1t must be borne in mind that the Fl.
Wayne & Pennsylvania trains run
direct to all the above cities, and into
the Centennial grounds. Low fare
tickets may be purchased at the Gen
eral Office, 65 CLARK St., Chicago or
at the Depot and information, by mail.

The Plymouth Church Advisory C0un.
Gil.

On the 18th, resolutions were adopted in
viting DR.. Storrs and Buddington to come
before the Council and aid them witt any
facts which might be within their knowI-
edge as touching the questions before the
Council, and inviting Mr.. Bowen to
appear before the Council in the
evening. Mr.. Beecher, i'll an impas-
stoned speech, challenged any man on
earth or angel in Heaven who had any
thing to say to his (Beecher'sl detriment, to
say it; and he added: u go beyond that
and, in the name Of our common Redeemer,
and before Him who shall judge you and me,
l challenge the ruth from God Himself!''
At the evening session Mr.. Bowen was
uestioned as to his course in connection
with the past troubles of Plymouth
Church, especially regarding his non
appearance before the Investigating Com
mittee appointed to inquire into the
Beecher scandal; among other replies,
Mr.. Bowen stated that the reason he
did not appear before such committee was
because, although he was aware general
invitation had been extended to all who
knew aught concerning the matter at
issue, he did not know that any
time had been fixed. A long ex-
animation was gone through with in relation
to the tripartite agreement. Announcement
was made at the afternoon session that
Messrs. Storrs and Buddington had been
waited upon, and both had said they had
nothing to communicate to the Council.
On the 10Th, Mr.. Sage, of the Plymouth
Church Investigating Committee, stated that
it was considered unnecessary to call Mr..
Bowen before that committee, as he was not
supposed to know anything. Mr.. Sage said
such investigation was as thorough as it was
possible to make it.
Mr.. Beecher made some denunciatory re-
marks in reply to an account by Deacon
Howard Of a former interview with Mr.
Bowen, during which the latter had declared
that if he communicated the knowledge in
his possession it would drive Mr.. Beecher
from Brooklyn in twenty-four hours. In the
course of some subsequent remarks Mr..

ELEVENTH DAY.

Col Broadhead began the closing argu-
ment, reviewing the evidence at great length,
and insisting that the testimony and the tele-
grams produced in the trial all tended to
connect the defendant with the conspir acy to
defraud the revenue. He claimed that the
letter-carrier Magil was manufactured and
trained witness, gotten up for the purpose of
otfsetting the damaging testimony given by
Everest. The counsel closed with the admo-
uition that the jury be not influenced by the
consideration of position, but that if they
found that corruption nestled within the
White House they crush it out.

committee was constituted which investigated
the charges against the PASTOR but in view of
the dissatisfaction which more or less pre-
walls with the previous investigation, it is
recommended, in view of Mr.. Beecher's de-
mand TO be brought face to face with his &C
cusers, etc, and for the peace of the churches
and the protection of Plymouth, that a new
investigation be had. The provisions for
such an investigation are SIS follows:
Prof Timothy Dwight, D. D., New Haven
Conn, the Rev. J. W. Wellmar, D, D., Maiden,
Mass, and the Hon. Bradford r. Wood, Al
bany, N. Y, are appointed by the Council as
the Committee of Three who are empowered
to designate Commission of Five out of
twenty named parties, whose duty it "shall
be to receive and examine all charges against
the pastor which they may regard as not al
ready sufficiently tried. Amy three of this
committee shall be a quorum, and shall have
power in case Of failure to complete the
requisite number of five by selecting
other brethren of known ability and in
tegrity. It is provided that the commission
shall not be constituted unless formal
charges against the pastor shall be brought
before the church Or its committee within
sixty days after the dissolution of the
Council, by party making himself sponsi-
bic for the truth and proof of the same, unless
within the same time it shall be adjudged to
be expedient by the Examining Committee of
the church and the Committee of Three that
important testimony, not previously given,
which might throw light upon the charges
which have hitherto been tried, should be
heard by the committee. The result of the
investigation by this Commission shall be re-
ported to the Examining Committee of
