VIII Christ Come Again

MEETING OF THE "PRoPHETIC CONFER.
ENCE"-THE SECOND ADVENT DIS
CUSsED.
New York, Oct. 30.-The "ProphetiC
Conference began this morning in the
church of Holy Trinity. The object OF
the conference is to listen to series OF
papers on the pre-millennial advent OF
Jesus Christ and to participate in such
discussions as the topic may suggest. Mr..
VIM. Reynolds, of Peoria, presided.
Rev. Stephen IL. Tying, the first speaker
in the conference, read paper entitled
"Christ's Coming; Is it Personal and
Visible?" "Christ's Coming; Is it Pre-
Millennial?" was the title Of paper
read by Professor Kellogg, of the Presby-
terian seminary, Allegheny, Pa.
After recess Rev. A. j Gordon, DID,
of Boston, read paper on the first res
surrecLion. He said there were two dis
tinct and radically opposite theories
about the resurrection, the first being
that all who have died, both righteous
and wicked, will be raised together, and
the other that only the pious dead will
be raised at the millennium and that the
second resurrection, will take place 1000
Liter, when the wicked will be raised and
judged, The object of his paper was to
support the latter theory. Rev. q. l..
lmpire,of Jersey City, read paper on re.
generation. He argued that the Scrip.
lures show that the earth is the place
where regeneration will take place and
where Christ will reign and His presence
will regenerate all things.

HEAVY FALL OF RAIN-THE WRECKED
vEssELs-TRINas GENERALLY.
Special Correspondence OF the Gazette.
DELAWARE CITY, Oct. 80.
Matters have quieted down here since
the meeting of Tuesday evening, the
strangers have gone home, and the city
has resumed Its daily appearance, the
residents taking up their daily duties.
There has been another heavy fall OF
rain, and fears were epie tanned early
this morning that possibly 1t might be a
repetition of the storm of one week ago,
and that the city would be once more
submerged In water. The rain COM
menced to fall on Tuesday evening about
8 O'Clock. At first it was very light, hut
continued to increase in volume, and at
o'clock Ia the morning it was literally
pouring down. With the increase of the
rain the wind rose, and sooI was blow
ing gale. 1t was exceedingly dark, es-
pecially on the river, and one of the Err
rloson line steamers, plying between
Philadelphia and Baltimore, upon arriv-
ing here remained In the canal, until
about B o'clock in the morning when she
left for her destination.
The rain continued until about o o'clock
this morning when 1t abated, and 1t soon
cleared of. About 7.3o O'Clock heavy
black cloud was seen moving rapidly up
from the northeast from appearance it
was near the earts, and upon arriving as
10 were, over this place the rain fell in
torrents, and continued SO for over half
hour.
The effects OF the late storm can yet be
seen. Both east and west of thus place,
schooners can be seen lying high and
dry several hundred feet In the fields bor-
dering on the river. Efforts are being
made every day by the owners and
wreckers TO return the vessels to their
proper element. The work is very te-
dions and 1t will be several days, and
perhaps weeks before some of them can
be returned to the river.
The breaks along the river banks still
remain in the same condition, and at
high tide the water rushes into the
fields. .tt.t, i
In the town most of the damages have
been repaired. Taking into considera-
lion our position here the damage
done was small compared with other

The directors and officials of the sus

formally arraigned In court ON the charge

The prisoners all looked broken down,
while the majority of them kept their
| eyes steadfastly fixed on the floor.
The following are the names
THE PRISONERS.
| Lewis Potter, director.
Robert Salmond, director.
John james Wright, director.
William Taylor, director.
John Stewart director.
Henry Inglis, director.
j. Collend, director.
Robert Stronach, manager.
Charles Samuel Leresche, secretary.
CHANCES OF IMPRIsoNMENr,
The prisoners were represented by the
ablest lawyers to be found In Scotland.
The general Impression Is that all Of
them run fair chance of being sent to
prison for long term of years. A GER
tain amount of sympathy exists for Pot
ter, who, although he may be one of the
chief rogues, is still very old and de-
crepit man.

The newspapers of to-day contain the
names Of several persons who have con-
nectton with the affairs of the Bank of

disappeared. Several of them are behved
to have gone to the United States. The
cable will be used, IL is expected, to cause
their arrest
RUNNING THROUGH THEIR LETTERS"
The Scotch law, which claims to be
based on the Roman law, abounds in
queer, as was evidenced in court to-day
1t was stated that the prisoners intend to
take advantage OF the provision entitled
"running through their letters" which
being interpreted signifies that they are
enabled to force the Lord Advocate 10
grant them trial within one hundred
and twenty days after the oats of their
INFLExIBLE JUSTICE.
Every possible effort has been made to
obtain the release on bail of several of
the prisoners, and powerful infiuenre, as
may be imagined, has been brought to
bear. But these requests have been met
with steady retusals IN all cases.

FRIGHTFUL MORTALITY AMONG VIRGINIA
ooxvIcrs HIRED TO A CANAL COMPANY.
A despatch from Richmond, Dec, Ia,
says: s.Et t9i
The annual report Of the Supsrinten>
dent and Surgeon Of the State Penitentiary,
discIoses, a. result of the bad treatment
Of convicts hired out by the State to the
James River and Kan.wha Canal Com
pany, most appalling death rate. The
surgeon states that "the james River and
Kanawha Canal Company have had an
average of $50 men for the year, and, in
Guiding two that were returned to the
Penitentiary in dying condition, thirty
two have died on their hands. death rate
of over nine per cent. Well may an ex-
PLANTATION of this fearful mortality be
asked. 1t is not hard to account for. The
men were not properly clothed and fed
during the winter, and were worked in the
coldest and most inclement weather. At
night they were crowded together in canal
boats, without ventilation. Under this bad
management it was not long before they
were unfit for duty, and for time, work
had to be suspended.
The superintendent confirms the report
of the surgeon. and says that the number
of convicts who died in the service of the
canal during the year was thirty, two
more being returned in dying condition,
and who aherwSrd did die. The canal
company, through their president, have
asked for an investigation, which must re-
suit disastrously for that corporation, and
to-day the House of Delegates authorized
