AT st. Louis, September 90, the Bap-
fist association by vote of % to II expelled
the second church and its pastor, Rev. DR..
Boyd, for heresy. The heresy consisted in af-
fliatioon with Jews in union meeting and
joining in singing hymn from which all at
tention to the Savior was carefully omitted,
and in breaking over the line of close CON-
munion by inviting a Unitarian minister to
commune with the church. The second
church is the strongest of the denomination
in st. Louis.

The Londod Times says the extraordi-
nary controversy now alarming Europe on
the supposed misunderstanding between Gors-
chakoff and Bismarck shows what dangerous
stuff is all around us. A ring of interested
spectators in collision seems to have half per-
suaded the ilustrious statesmen, the great
ness of one mighty empire is incompatible
sian and German nations at present the diff
Guilty appears to be to manufacture reasons
for flying at each others throat. Their inter-
Sests are in no respect opposed Neither OWE
erritory coveted by the other. We believe
much of this fourishing of swords will be
found to be merely the exercise of fencing
schools, but it is time the masters came for
ward ard reassure mistrustful Europe.
Reports from Chicago to September %
are to the effect that there was continued
upward movement that day on change,
wheat making most decided advance, No.
selling as high as $1yO8A during the after
noon, and closing strong at shade less than
the best prices. Although prices have ad-
| vanced daily for two weeks, with no retro
grade movement of consequence. the result
| has not been disastrous, except in three cases
on Change, until this date, when several
| small operators suspended; but the total
| amount of their liabilities will hardly be g.
| O0O Provisions are also strong, with a de-
| cidedly buoyant feeling, most marked in
pork and short ribs. Farmers appear to be
holding back their supplies for better prices.
On the afternoon of Sept. %, Frank
Wallheiser, aged II, of Hinsdale, Cook county,
ILLINOIS, met with terrible death The ex-
press train on the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy road which passes Hinsdale going
| west, at that time was running at the rate of
twenty -fonr-miles an hour when Wsllheiser
attempted to cross. He was seated in a wag-
on and was driving slow old horse. When
he drove ON the track the engine was not
more than thirty or thirty-fVe-feet from him,
and even before the horse had entirely crossed
the engine struck him. The horse was thrown
into the air nearly as high as the smoke-stack
the wagon was not smashed, but Wallheiser
was thrown out by some means and under
the wheels, and literally cut to pieces 80 that
his remains had to be picked up with shovel.
His head was cut off. his legs were cut off and
the body crushed to pieces, and the remains
presented altogether a most horrible specta-
Gle.
Conversation with leading business
men of Cincinnati, Ohio, develops the fact that
the improvement in trade in all branches is
unprecedented at this season of the year.
Manufacturers say they are employing extra
hands, running their machinery to its full ca
pacity, and are still unable to meet all their
orders. Several prominent establishments are
running at night. The stove manufacturers
say they are six weeks behind with their or
ders. Founders and engine builders are una
BILE to keep pace with demands of the trade.
Wholesale grocers report an increase of fully
twenty-five per cent. over last year. The boot
and shoe trade Is heavier than at any time in
the history Of the city. The principal house
in fancy dry goods and millinery say their
shipments this season have been nearly dous
BILE those Of year ago. They find difficulty
