Fiery Worlds.

This might be termed the age of theories.
Everybody has his pet theory about every
thing on the earth, and why not some have
them about everything in the heavens.
Astronomers are now puzzling themselves
and the public with theories to account for
the suddenly acquired and abnormal brill
fancy of small star situated in the con-
stellation Cygnus. This little twinkler, ac-
cording to the savans, remained unnoticed
among the myriads of luminaries that are
barely visible to the naked eye until
he took to asserting himself after the fashion
of mortals. He tried to outshine his neigh
bors, and. being consumed with vanity out
did the thing. Some Of our wise men assert
that the consequences are not pleasant to
contemplate. for they appear to involve the
destruction Of q world. Others state that
while the far off sphere was actually glowing
with the fires that destroyed it this earth of
ours was probably several hundred thousand,
If not million, years younger. Distance
arrests even the flight of thought, and
even the velocity of light has been
measured, so that when we can con-
slider that the fiery but fading star
in Cygnus is untold millions of miles dis
tant, we may feel satisfied that we are really
observing only the light of other days, the
brilliancy of star that was. The opinions
of Professors Parkhurst and Boss, which we
print to-day, throw light on this interesting
subject. Based on the information impaired
thereby every one of our readers can form a
theory for himself or herself regarding it,
We have no hesitation in stating that the
prospects of terrestrial confagration grow
ing out of a disturbance of the equilibrium
Of the universe by the destruction Of star
or two are still very remote

The WEATHER.-A great storm has been rag
ing in the West since Sunday morning and has
already entered tho Middle States. Yesterday
the centre moved from the Mississippi into the
Ohio Valley, attended by heavy rains on the
cistcrn and southern and snow on the west
ern and northern margins of the disturb
nncc. The extent Of the of prccpita-
lion has been and continues to be very great.
From North Platte, Nebraska to Halifax,
Nova Scotia, and from the lakes to Tennessee,
one unbroSen downpour of rain and has
marked the influence of the storm. High winds
prevail in the Northwest and West, and decided
rise in temperature is observable eastward of the
Mississippi and in the Southern States. In
Dakota and the Upper Missouri Valley
the cold has been terrible At Peinbina
the tllcinomctrc record yesterday morning
was iiftytlrcc degrees below zero, and
during last evening it was twenty-one de-
crscs below ut breckenridge, MINI. The snow
has seriously impcdcd railroad travel within the
area Of the storm and the rain has added it's
quota to the rushing floods that tearing the
heavy ice from the gorges in the Ohio River.
As wc predicted yesterday, the frcshet
wave on the last named river has al
ready reached the Mississippi, which is
beginning to rise. Floods may bc expected in
the Delaware and the Hudson rivers We may
look for bad weather in New York to-day, TO be
followed by severe cold. House owners had

An Irresponsibi. Fold.

There appears to be some diversity of
opinion MS to whether the management of
the Children's Fold is to be changed or is to
be suffered to remain in the hands of the
Rev. Mr.. Cowley. The Board of State
Charities fnvors a change, but Mr.. Cowley
is evidently unable to recognize its neces-
sity, and is not disposed to admit that any
authority save that Of the trustees of the
Fold has the right to interfere with it's affairs.
As Mr.. Cowley concentrates in himself
about all there is of the trusteeship this
view of the case insures him the control of
the institution in perpetuity, and makes
any Investigation into the management
simple waste of time. The reverend gen.
tleman expresses himself as willing that an
inquiry into the current stories should bc
made through his church authorities, and
enters into long counter statement
in which his own conduct is vindicated and
the motives of his assailants are impugned.
But he plainly indicates that he is satisfied
with things as they exist and does not con-
template disturbing them.
We find in tho tax levies for some years
past an appropriation of sums ranging be-
tween five and six thousand dollars for the
benefit of the Children's Fold, together
with occasional additional donations out of
tho Excise fund. In the provisional esti-
mate for the present year appears a commu-
nication from Mr.. Cowley and his cotrus-
tee, the secret and lenient Mr.. Pott, asking
for nearly six thousand dollars for the sup
port of fifty-one children for whom ''noth-
ing can be expected from private parties"
Mr.. Cowley states there are now ffty-four
children in the Fold hence it is evident
that the city pays for the support of all but
stances we suggest that the concern ought
not to be so close corporation rs Mr. Cow
ley would make it. The people have right
to know something about its financial man
agement as well as something about the
treatment Of their unfortunate little wards.
If Mr. Cowley does not see the justice of
this then we insist that he should not ask
the taxpayers to contribute to his Fold.
If no more than three of the inmates are
supported by private friends or private char
ity the Fold is clearly public institution.
If it's management is not to be inquired
into the children should be transferred to
some more responsible public charity and
the Fold should be abandoned. Not an
other dollar of the public money should be
paid into the hands of it's present managers

Cold WEATHER is approaching again, and the
p,blc interest in the question of heating the
street ears will increase as the temperature falls
We print elsewhere an account of the meeting of
the Adcrnanic Committee Oh Railroads, which
assembled yesterday to learn the views of the
railroad officials on heating the cars. 1t
was the unanimous opinion of these gen.
tcmen that heating the cars would prove
dangerous !, to the public health, and that
it was better to shivcr like u car horse at the
sight Of rapid transit train than to risk death
by suifocaton. One director, and doctor ut
that, expressed astonishment that any one should
think heated car healthy. Such is the result Of
consulting tho feelings Of the rlinoceros-hided
horse car officials. We would advise tho Rail
road Committee to consult only the interests of
the public, and to compel these arrogant gentle
men, the railroad officials, to heat their cars or
surrender their franchises.

A Horrible Accident,

Chester, Pa, May 22.-This morn 4
ing the Saratoga, large iron steamer
which was to be launched at Rsach's
ship yard, started from its blocking
sooner than was expected, killing and
wounding many. Six dead bodies
have been removed. About forty men
were under the Saratoga when she
went of. The order was given for
them to leave but was not heard. The

Harkinson, seriously. 1t il thought
that some workmen were killed and
dragged into the water by the ship.
The bodies Of the dead are horribly
nangled, being literally cut in halves
and others with their legs and arms
torn off. The ship yard is thronged
with friends and relatives of the vic
TINS, and presents very distressing
scene. The total number killed is
seven. j. j. Grew, is the name oil
another. The three persons wounded
win probably recover. All killed and
wounded were workmen knocking
blocks from under the keel. The
scene was heaftrcnding. Flags are
at half mast throughout the town and
work at the yard is stopped. The
families Of the. killed will be furnished
with money. The manager of ths
launch states he found the ship ready
to move and called for all hands to ge'

mittee on the eonstitutionality of the

covers the same ground As that sent
last night.
Questions having arisen as to the
paragraph which deprecates the action
of some presbyteres in retaining .

instead of turning them over to the
home board. the chairman was allow
ed by common consent to- withdraw
that paragraph.
The report was then taken up by
sections aud acted on.

if you please, that he was mistaken; !;
that he did great wrong; but say at
