WHAT SCIENCE IS G0iNl FOR RELIC.
ION.

No one who has paid a serious at.
tentlon to the progress of the mod.
ern sciences, can entertain a doubt
that all the really su5Stantiated dis
covsries which have been supposed
to contravene Christianity do in real
ity only deepen its profundity and
emphasize its indispensable n scessity
for man. Never before, in all the
history Of mankind, has tho Deity
seemed SO awful, so remote from
man, so mighty in the tremendous
forces that he wields, so majestic in
the permanencs and tranquility Of
his resistless will. Never more has
man realized his own excessive small
ness and impotence; his inability to
destroy--much more to create--one
atom or molscule; his dependence
for life, Tor thought, for character
even, on that material environment
of which he once thought himself
the master. The forces of nature,
then, have become to him once more,
as in the infancy Of his race, almost
u terror. And poised midway for a
few eventful hours, between an inf
mite past Of which, he knows little,
and an infinite future of which he
knows nothing, he is tempted to de.
spair of himself and Of his little
planet, and in childish petulancs to
exclaim, My wIilom conceit is bro.
ken; there is nothing else to live
for" And amid these foolish de.
spuirs, voice is heard, which SAYS:
Have faith in God {! Have hope in
Christ . Have love to man. Kno WI

of all being it is not for man to have;

BATTLE NEAR EUREKA.

At last the threatened storm he's broker
attacked the Sherit's posse, the former los
inc five men, as stated in the following teIe
gram to Colonel G. G. Lyon, Private Score
tary to the Governor:
EUREKA, Aug 49,
To COLONEL GEORGE G. LYoN.-Yesterday
at six o cleck P. NJ. about one hundred coal
burners attacked Sheriff Kyles posse at Fish
Creek, about thirty miles from here, when
| firing ensued Five coal burners were
killed and eli. hit or ten wounded. Mona of
the SheriH's force were hurt. The coal
| burners first opened fire on the Sheriff men.
| The city Is quiet. u. nj. SABiN.
The temporary absence of the Governor
| and Lieutenant Governor from the State
will not interfere with the prompt action of
the militia under command of Brigadier Gen
eral c. NJ Sabin, as his troops were placed
on a war footng before His Excellency left
here. In the case of future emergency the
troops viii likely be taken 70 the front.
The following additional report was re-
ceived last evening relative to the outbreak
of difficulties at Fish Creek:
EUREKA, New, August 10 The coal war
has broken ont afresh. A Sheritf's posse
attacked Il coal ranch at Fish Creek between
sundown and dark last evening Many
shots were fired. and five Italians killed and
six badly wounded Several prisoners were
also taken A messenger arrived at clock
dis morning from the scene of the battle.
He Immediately returned, accompanied by
Coroner Smith and Dr. Thomas, the latter
going out to look after the wounded. The |
bodies OF the killed are expected in this even
ing. THERE'S great excitement over the affair, |
and all sorts of rumors N circulation. |
None of the Sherlf'S posse received a scratch |
in the fight. This causes many people to be-
lieve that the coal burners were not armed.
On the other hand, the messenger says that
the Italians fired the first shot The exact
truth cannot be ascertained until the Coroners
return. The sheriff party numbered nine men,
as follows: Deputy Sheriff Simpson, Billy
Martin, Joe Toomey, 30 bBrown, NJ. Rich,
Jim Porter, and john Storey. The mtsseu
ger asserts that they were confronted by over
me hundred Italians. all we'll armed. Gen
,ral Sabin, commanding this division, had on
issued an order relieving the mill
AIRY from active duty. On learning this
morning of the Fish Greek fight he promul-
,ated another order mastering them in again.
+ is not unlikely, if the Italians show fight,
hat there Will be some bloody work in this
IeighborhoOd within the next few days.
