Conference.

Of the Unitarian Conference Rev. Z. Iii. Hall,
of Worcester, read an essay on the Bible.
After this essay, the President of the Confer
ence, in few remarks, welcomed P. W. Clay
den and G. d. Badland,- delegates from the
British and foreign Unitarian Association an
organization formed simultaneously with this.
t. w. Clayden spoke of the entire harmony
which had been apparent between the papers
and essays read before this cenfereece and his
sermon on Tuesday evening. He read letter
from the secretary of the association he repre-
sented, showing the entire harmony existing
in that organization. He said the freedom to
worship God secured in this country had not
yet been attained in England, and gave state

land had to be celebrated by the clergy of the
Established Church, and the birth of children
of Nonconformists could not be registered as
the children of churchmen were.

iDgs of the students in Manchester College to
American Unitarians He closed by reading
extracts from letter supplementary to that
read by Mr.. Clayden.

WAITE, THE DEFAULTER.
Particulars of His Arrest in
Omaha.
HIS BEGS TO BE ALLOWED TO COM
NIT SUICIDE.

OMAHA, Sept 22.-The arrest of Sias NJ
Waite here was made by w. II. H. Llewellyn
and w. II. Shields, special agents of the de-
partment of justice. When Waite first left
Brattleboro' he fled by way of Duluth to the
Winnipeg country, ana at one time the officers
were only thirteen miles behind him and knew
they were on his track. He travelled under
several aliases, one of which was Knight,
another Estelle., the latter being his wife's
maiden name. From Winnipeg he went to
Wyoming, and it IS said was engaged in To-
eating large cattle ranch there, which he
had already begun to stock with cattle. A
few weeks ago the officers were hot on his trail
AT Bismarck, and followed him up until Sun
day last, when he was definitely located
in this city where he was stopping at the
house OF well-known citizen, whose wife and
his own are sisters. Mr.. Shields has been for
several days stopping at the Garfield House,
and his character and business here were I'M
known to all. day delay was made to get
the papers all in shape, and this morning the
officers, after waiting until 10 o'clock, when
his brother-in-law. Mr. Truman Buck, and
his family had gone to the fair, proceeded to
the residence of the family to arrest their
man. They took with them Charles Sweezy
and posted him at the alley at the rear while
they went in the front way. Waite saw them
coming and ran out the back way and down
cellar, but seeing he was discovered by
Sweezy, who jumped over the fence after him,
he ran out again and around to the front door,
where he brought up in the arms of the Off
GERS. He made no further resistance and was
at once taken to the county Jail. He entreated
the officers to allow him to commit suicide,
but they were memorable and took from him
any thing that could be used to take his life, a
knife and button hook being all he had on
his person. The officers at once telegraphed
the news of their capture East, with the in
formation that a large sum of money in bonds
and stocks was also recovered or would be, and
asking what disposal should be made of them
1t is said that $4,000, telegraphed him within
the past few days, is now lying in one of the
banks OF the city. Shields left last evening
with Waite for the east, via the Chica and
Rock Island road. Waite acknowledges his
guilt, and says he will plead guilty to any
thing. In his flight he went to Toronto June
Is; had his hair cut there; thence to Detroit,
Chicago, st. Paul, Duluth, Brainard Fargo,
Yankton, Omaha, thence to Lacrosse, Glen
don, the Winnipeg country, and back to
Omaha, and then back and forth among the
Western cattle ranches. The cattle rancho
which he now virtually owns is located on Nj
brara river in Northern Nebraska, and was
bought in the name of another man and hi:
own son, young Waite.

began falling heavily Friday, and poured
steadily forty hours, in which time % inches
OF rain fell. The effect of such an enormous
mass of water pouring down into the confined
settlement-which is simply basin formed by
circle of hills-can be imagined. All roads
were cut to pieces. In the forenoon of Satur-
day the land slip occurred, on spot behind
the Victoria hotel. which resulted in the COL
lapse of the whole upper line, together with
the out-houses and part of the back premises
The alarm was given to the visitors in the
hotel, who took shelter elsewhere. About 80
natives were buried in the ruins The police
and band of laborers and soldiers were
quickly on the spot.
About noon there was roar and rumbling
followed by vast clouds of dust and the whole
place shook. The lake rose in a moment far
above the usual height and swept in a mas
sive wave towards the weir, when an enormous
mass OF land came down, burying the hotel
and the band of rescue. s, with the disastrous
result previously telegraphed.
