New York, Oct. 6.-Bishop Kepp's
sermon this morning before the general
convention of the Episcopal church was
on the popular religion of the day.
Contrasting the spirit of tho church in
every day with modern christiancy, he
said: The care Of too many who call
themselves christians is to gather
around them all they can of this world Is
comforts, and they are scarcely recog-
nized as disciples Of Christ except as
they are seen in church. Do they Of
ten deny themselves anything to ad-
vance the gospelp Does their ordinary
life furnish any Illustration Of that an
nouncement OF our Lord, "He that
loseth his life for my sake shall find
it." What is theirs but the high pol.
ish Of society, mere civilization and
refinement Of mind, which might exist
entirely independent Of the gospel
There is nothing about it distinctly
christian.

Denver, Oct. 6.-Adyiees from Del
Norte state the following particulars
from a reliable source as 10 the killing
Of the son Of an Indian chief, thirty
miles east Of Los Pinos agency, on the
18th OF September: About 7:30 In the
evening two Indians came whooping
into the freighter's camp Of J. II. Jack
son, calling him and his four drivers
vile names and acting rs though they
intended TO shoot. The Indian who is
supposed TO be killed fired one shot,
when A. S. jackson, nephew Of J. ii.
Jackson, fired at him. Next day the
party were surrounded by Indians who
demanded the man who did the shoot
ing the night before. Agent Berry,
Mr.. Meacham and Capt. Stelley then
arrived with fifteen soldiers, arrested
the freighters and put them under
guard Of two soldiers and ten or fifteen
Indians over night. Previous to the
arrest J. II. jackson requested protec-
ton from q major, name unknown, who
had two hundred soldiers under him,
but the major replied that he was not
there to protect the whites. The next
morning the freighters were marched
to Kline's ranch. where the soldiers
disarmed them, even taking their
pocket knives, after which they were
dismissed. The agent and officers
stating that they were not in their ju-
risdiction. Thus these five men were
left defenceless In the Indian country;
denied protection by the government
officers, who had ample force and knew
that the men had acted in self defense,
excepting Col. Beaumont, who, ut the
risk Of censure by his superior officers,
sent sufficient force to escort them to-
wards Sagurche. On arrival at Kline's
ranch, Agent Berry told jackson to
obey Capt. Kline's instructions and
they would be unharmed. Kline at
tempted to get them to proceed to-
wards their destination, which would
have resulted in death. Young Jack
son, who did the shooting. gave him
self up to Messrs. Kline, Hoyt, Holmes
and one Indian TO be taken 10 Gunni-
son City for trial. These men took
jackson, without guard, and started
towards Gunnison City, and proceeded
three miles, when they reported that
the Indians surrounded them and took
the prisoner, but 1t Is asserted by man
who overheard their conversation, that
Kline, Hoyt and Holmes intended
giving jackson up to the Indians when
they left Kline's ranch. The freighters
begged the military officers to give
them arms to protect themselves, but
were refused.
Steps are now being taken north Of
here to avenge the death Of jackson as
soon as 1t is definitely ascertained.
