CLERICAL SENSATION.
Considerable talk Is created in religious
circles over the voluntary bankru ptcy OF
the Rev. Howard Carrall, formerly Of the
Bedford Avenue (Brooklyn) Reformed
Church. His liabilities are nearly one
hundred and twenty thousand dollars,
and include debts 10 insurance companies,
banks and private individuals. The Sc.
cret Is that he started q new church, built
costly edifce, and, being unable to pay,
borrowed wherever he could fnd lender.
He was finally forced from Brooklyn 10
Newburgh, where he now breaches. His
creditors, however, gave him no peace,
and he has gone under.
BANKRUPT CHURCHES.
The other current item Of religious in.
terest Of the day Is thestartling announce
ment that one.half Of the churches in the
city of Paterson are so hopeleSsly in debt
that they must go under the Sheriff7s
hammer. Paterson was one Of the most
prosperous Of Eastern cities previous to
the panic, and great rivalry existed among
the churches. II took the shape Of costly
edifces, all Of which were heavily mort
gagged. The panic knocked all CONNER.
cial life from the city, and the churches
have not since been able to pay the inter.
est on the mortgages. One church has
closed, two others have consolidated, aud
a score more are simply waiting for the
crash. ...-.
BRITISH RIFLE TEAM.
The members Of the British Rifle Team
resumed practice at Creedmoor to-day,
and, 10 the astoniShment OF all, made
better average by considerable than the
American Team has yet done. Six Of
their members made more than 200 out
Of possible 225 points, some of the
scores being very fne indeed. Three Of
them made POI apiece. The practice Of
both Teams is watched with great inter-
est. Mr.. Selph, OF New Orleans, made
the fine score Of 207 also. He is aston
ishing the riAemen Of both countries with
his wonderful shooting.
After to.day's performance 1t ia gener.
ally believed that the American Team
have for this once found their match.
The British men are unaccustomed to the
range and are seriously affected by heat.
Half Of them are sick and they shoot un-
der disadvantages. With two weeks for
practice they must improve mnch upon
to.day's score, which is as fine as ever re.
corded on the range.

NOR Of Introduction OF Foreign
Miners.
WLREsBARRE, Pa, September l.
Governor Hartranft, with portion o.
his staff, are still here. To-day 1t wa
definitely announced that the State troop
will remain in LhiS county until work /,
resumed in all the mines. This an
nouncement has been pretty generally
ventilated to-day among the soldiers and
miners. The former are very greatly
sgitated, aS they feel they ought to be re.
lieved. There are four regiments Of
State troops here altogether-three from
Pittsburgh and one from Philadelphia.
The men have served over six weeks, and
are very anxious TO get home. In the
meantime the miners are very indignant
expressing themselves loudly against the
military occupation. They assert that
II the soldiers are 10 remain here until
they (the miners) resume work they will
have very long time 10 serve.
A very significant rumOr is abroad TO
night to the effect that the military occu,
patton Of the mines is to pave the way ior
an introduction OF new men to the col,
lieries from another country. OF course
they are to be experienced miners and
come here under the positive assurance
that no harm shall come to them. This
is only arePort, but the extreme reti.
cence Of the opCratorc here leads to a
universal conviction that there is some.
thing in it.
The time draws nigh when the demand
for coal will Re enormous, and it is a ques.
tion whether or not foreign labor can be
introduced here to advantage at this par.
ticular time.
In the meantime the idle worklngmen
are uniting in n grand political organiza.
ton for work in November. The new
party is gaining recruits from both Dem.
ocratic and Republican ranks, and bids
fair to become power in this immediate
locality. Demagogues are manipulating
it, however, and clash may come at any
time. Matters look worse tonight than
for some days past.

character. But it is the perfect
discipline of the troops which wins
the most attention. 1t is the
unanimous testimony of the Ron
.manians that the inhabitants are
treated with scrupuious courtesy,
and that they were paid solicitously
tor all the merchandise consumed
by the army. Theyisay. they have
not seen either drunkenness oribru-
tality;; and the ei1fIiarkations and
marches cf the troops are models
Of good order and calm. In fact
the old idea of. the march of Rus.
sian arm being attended with an
enormous consumption of. schnapps
and an unfiagging use of the knont
has no application.to to the Russians
in Rounania. The Cossacks, OF
whom there arc numerous detach-
ments north Of the Danube, and a
whole camp at Braila, are the
theme of enthusiastic comments
They are worthy young men, OF
magnificent physlques, and blondes,
and have a countenance in which
resolution and gentlcness are singu
larly blended.

several times. There are two ways
of throwing the weapon, which. as |
could throw itwell at one time, I will
endeavor to describe. 1t is grasped
quite at the end by the right hand
and raised above the head, the. elbow
being bent, the weapon assuming a
position with its convex edge down

right, angles to the intended, line of
fight. The arm is, brought swiftly
round from left to right, becoming

line directly in front of the face, When
the weapon is delivered from the now
straight arm, With the sconcave edge
toward the lire of flight This is the
method of throwing into the air. No
dependence can be plsced on the re-
turn Of the weapon within circle of
20 yards, though it sometimes returns
dangerously near the thrower. II it
meets with an obstacle it is either
stopped and falls dead to the earth, or
it's course is changed. In either case
its peculiar motion is desti Dyed, as
must bc obvious. In the other meth
cd Of throwing, the weapon is held
in the same way, hut delivered nearly
on line with the hip, and made to
strike the earth about 10 yards in
front of the thrower, pitching, be-
, lieve, (though it is not easy to ob-
serve. on one of its horns. Thence
it ricechets ant. flies Straight away
for perhaps 20 or so yards Keeping a
position of four feet from the earth.
and gradually rising until it is spent.
In this way only can it be used for
war, since in the other it begins TO
mount at once, and would soon be
above the cneny's head. The weap-
on is made of various woods, piece
with slight elbow being selected

form is arrived at by trial, as J have

themselves along the continuing line,

Then follows the most rPvolIing scene
which has greeted the human eyes
since the suppression of the Indian
car of juggernant, of which most
probably this ceremony is an imita-
lion. This lonely man, passed the
