DENOMINATIONAL NOTES.

There are 562 churches in Phila-
delphia.
The Catholics have now 365
churches in Rome.
The present number of churches
in London is S02, an increase of rs
the past year.
The American Adventists who are
working in Switzerland have begun
the publication of French monthly
paper. They issue 1000 copies of
the first number.
The Congregational General Con
ference of Massachusetts has passed
resolution recommending the use
of unfermented wine at communion.
The colored Roman Catholics of
Washington have just completed
new church, which is larger and more
beautiful than any other Catholic
church in the national capital.
The Methodist mission in Mexico
has been so successful that number
of Spanish publications are to be
issued by the Book Concern in New
York. An illustrated religious pa
per will also be issued in the Span
q ish language.
The "Old Swedes' Church" of
Philadelphia recently celebrated its
10th anniversary. The Swedes
came to what was afterward the col

The Christian Statesman makes
the extraordinary statement that the
friends of temperance in their zeal
are in some places undermining the
Sabbath. 1t has grown quite COM
mon in them to hold temperance
meetings on that day. Such
friends of a good cause in their mis-
taken zeal, pull down more than they
build up"
The New York Observer pithily
remarks: sThe excessive use of jaw
in religion is positively detrimental
to growth in grace. The gospel of
gush is not the gospel for the day"
The Churchman informs its read
ers that the New Testament Revis-
ion Committee have struck out as

The way this "Black Belt" came to be
thus thrown together in one district ia
explained as follows:
ave como now to the Sixth Con.
gretsional District, to show how the TIL:
den retOrmers OF Mississippi respect and
enforce the amendments 10 the Constitu.
lion which confer the right Of suffrage on
the blacks, and to show, also, by the
character and record OF their candidate,
how Loyalty they have accepted the stu.
alton, and how sorry they arc that they
made war against the Union.
When Gov. Ames was got rid OF and
the Legislature secured, the Democrats
made a new Rpportionment Of the State.
The bottom landS OF the Mississippi
river, which bound the State on the west,
BY their more than Egyptian fertility Of
soil are the best cotton lands In the coun.
try, and therefore they have an over
whsIminy msiority Of negro laborers.
BY putting any one Of these river counties
into any Congressional Distric. as part
OF Il, tho supremacy Of the Democracy
would selt'evidently DO endangered. They

aagrant illustration OF the iniquities Of

esll What has become Of III That Ia
The question Of the hour. I! Is one Of
the questions that the Republicans in
Mississippi want investigated. What
makes the result all the more queer Ia
that the Democratic candidate for Con.
gress was the General Chalmers who ag.
ured in the Fort Pillow massacre during
the war. It looks unnatural that the
solored people should elect man Of hi,

Of 1900 should disappear in such q
canvass. On page 1o5 Of the Report on
the Fort Pillow Massacre, two United
States officers testified as follows:
"Major Anderson. Forests Assistant
Adiutant General, stated that they did
not consider colored men az soldiers, but
GsprOpTty, and, as such, being used by

was concurred in by Forrest, Chalmers,

A woman Cut In the Abdomen.

Frank. Murray is shoemaker about
thirty years old, whose home is in the
"Modoc Building" No. 2S Broadway,
near the Broadway House. About 7
O'Clock this morning, after having drank
considerable amount OF liquor, be sud-
denly attacked his wife, Mary Murray,
an English woman, and cut her in the
left breast, causing a dangerous wound.
Then he thrust the weapon, a somewhat
large pocket knife, into the right side OF
her abdomen.
The wound is about three inches long,
and runs diagonallY downward. The
intestines protruded, and the Woman,
who was suffering pitiiully, told her
brutal husband to kill her Immediately
rather than by inches. Officer Burke
and Lieutenant Cody, OF the Hammond
street Police District, were In the imme-
diate neighborhp0d and instantly came
to the poor woman's assistance. They
took the knife away from Murray, VINO
Several doctors in that vicinity were
called upon, Doctor Heyle being the first
to arrive at Murray's home. He re-
placed the entrails and sewed up the
wound.
Lieutenant Cody telegraphed to the
Cincinnati Hospital for an ambulance,
whloh speedily arrived and took the
patient to the Hospital, whore she now
lies in precarious condition. The
wound in the breast was probed, but
the Doctor at the time OF writing was
unable to state whether it was fatal or
not. Murray, the would-be wife-killer,
was locked up on charge OF cutting
with intent to kill.

A question novel in its character was
sprung upon the Police Court this morn.
ing, and one which created little more
than ripple Of excitement. The ques.
ton came up at the commencement Of
the examination OF two men charged
with defrauding a jeweler in this city by
substituting bogus rings for genuine
ones during a visit OF the two strangers
to the store mentioned.
MAJOR Blackburn and T. G. Campbell,
ESQ, as counsel for the accused, raised
the point that In the absence of the law
full Prosecuting Attorney, q. E. Gala
han, of the Police Court, that the Court
was withoutan authorized prosecuting
officer, and that every man, woman and
child who has been sent to the Work
house or House Of Refuge during Calla-
hams absence, were in those institu-
tions illegally, and in justice and law
should Immediately be turned out.
The able counsel based their argument
on the following section OF Pecks
Municipal Law o: OHIO, Sec 1893,
W hich says: "In case of the temporary
inability OF the Prosecuting
Attorney Of the Poi ae Court the Judge
shall appoint some competent m9moer
OF the Bar to perform the duties of the
office"-a procedure which has not in
this instance been complied with, neither
in the case of A. D. Diserens, whom
and by whom the information
was drawn, nor since Diserens' absence
had the law been complied with by the
appointment of John z. Murphy. Mr..
Campbell showed in quite lengthy ar
gument and with numerous citations
that the convictions OF all those persons
under the administration OF both
Diserens and Murphy We're void; but
that the Court as at present constituted
were not at fault, but that the fault Of
the unusual hiatus was to be laid at the
door of Judge Lindemann, who failed to
legally qualify Call hams successor.
And that the AoLing Prosecutors were
amenable to the law for drawing in
formations against accused persons.
when in fact they had not the semblance
of authority to do anything OF the kind.
Judge Satin in deciding the question
said that he did not wish to revolution
jze the proceedings of the Court, nor iu-
terfere with the records made by Judge
Lindemann, inasmuch as he was actin @
temporarily, and besides was not
the choice of Judge Linde-
mann, whom he had understood
wished some one else to occupy
the bench during his absence. Judge
Satin remarked that be was oognizaht
of the fact, that during the last five or
six years he had known Instances in
whion two or more persons had acted as
Prosecuting Attorney on the same day;
he had his opinion about such
course, but as. he said before,
