AMONG THE MINISTERS


}~s S6e3OR8x N00fS0.
'''' Icoo called attention to the scripture
s'ofy OF Christ healing the blind man. az il !;
found In Mark vIII. e2-27. This is reeardet
as type Of the cure Of spiritual blindness
The loving, anxious friends Of the aea;c,o,
man come and beseech Christ to heal him
as the church sends up its prayers for those
who are wandering in darkness. When sim.
pie, believing souls come to Christ for Aid
'hey are never left comfortless; but it wa,
only wren the naughty Jews sent their com.
inittees to him to test his power, and the self
righteous Pharisees addressed him. that he
rebuked them and sent them away emptv.
The noticeable point in Christ's ministrations
Is his exceeding gentleness When the blind
mans friends had done what they could, and
conducted him to Jesus, how tenderly the
Savior took him by the hand and led him GU,
OF the town. Instead of displaying that di.
vine power by which he quieted the angry
waves, and even recalled Lazarus from the
gates of death, instead Of giving sharp
command for the blind eyes to open, ne led
h''n u this lonely place and gradually re-
stored him to his full sight. Our natural,
human thought would be to tell the man to
run into the city and proclaim to every enc
the wonderful thing Christ had done for him ::
but Jesus, on the contrary. cautioned him to
go to his own house ami tell it to no man.
This is not meant to encourage men to
be Christians in secret, but it is a rebuke
to such persons; as this mans joy at
his rescue from darkness was so great as to
need caution in its expression. The man
had been restored to the perfect use of all bis
senses, and could best praise Christ by living
a true, upright life. When a man is con-
verted, lis eyes, blinded by sin, are opened,
and he is restored to his normal or perfect
condition.

that he Is the father of her child; denies
having ever given her money or having
ever seen her except once in Atlanta, in
the presence of witnesses, and asserts
that she is woman of abandoned charac-
ter,anda blackma.ler, who hasthreatened
to have "money or his life." He files this
affidavit In order that the conservatOrs
Of the pelee may take such action as they
may think their official duty requires.
"a The affidavit of Mr., Small corrobrates
Senator Hills statement as to the threats
made by the woman Raymond, and de-
clares that the latter, In conversation
with him (Smal), made use of the
following expression: "r must have
money. want $500, and will have it
from him Senator HID or I will have
his life. am in dead earnest, and do
not care if hang for 1t; will do what
I say" The affiant further states his be-
lief that the said Jessie Rymond will try
to carry out her threats by making an
attempt upon Senator Hill's life.

The CIdytOn-BulsOes' Treaty.

Mr.. Ellis, of Louisiana, introduced
in the House yesterday joint resolu-
ton requesting the President to give no.
tice to Great Britain that the govern
ment Of the United States regards the
treaty of 1850 for protecting canal
across the Is hmus as no longer bind
ing The resolution was referred TO the \
Committee On the lnteroceanic Canal.
The only objection to such resolu-
tion is that il is superfuous. The Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty has long been dead
by the taclt consent of both govern
ments. 1t contains stipulations which
neither has ever made any attempt TO
fulfil, aud after the lapse of thirty years.
non-fulfilment by both parties, without,
any complaint or reminder by either,
operates as mutual release. The con-
tracing parties engaged, among other
things, 80 invite every State with which
both or either have friendly intercourse,
to enter into stipulatlons with them sim
| liar to those which the, have entered
into with each other, 70 the end that all
other States may share in the honor and
advantage of having contributed TO
work of such general interest and i'm
portance as the canal herein contem-
plated" No step was ever taken by
either government tow ard the fulhlment
of this engagement, nor of other engage
ments contained in the treaty; and the
convention is consequently dead letter
which long ago ceased to bind either
party to il. .-,....
There would be neither harm nor

notice of withdrawal. By the terms Of
the treaty either party could Withdraw

er, even if the canal had been commen-
ced or constructed under the joint pro- b.
lection which it promised. But as It :,
was guarantee of an abOrtive project,
and as neith her party took any steps to-
ward keeping its engagements, the for
NAL abrogation of a treaty so long dead
is quite needless. Still it could do no

Knocked From O Bridge.

A FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE DELLA
WARE WESTERN r. R.-A MAN
sTBUCK BY AN ENGINE AT MT. CUBA
BRIDGE.
About 1870 O'Clock yesterday after
noon, fatal accident occurred near Mt.
Cubs, on the Delaware Western Rail-
road, resulting in the death of man
named John Hurley, o resident Of
Landenburg, Chester county, Pa.
Hurley had come down TO the neigh
borhvod on business and was walking
along the railroad track. He was on
the little trestle bridge just this side of
Mt. Cuba, when the East bound
passenger train, due in this city at 2:i5
o'clock, came around the curve. Hur-
ley might have jumped from the bridge,
as IL Is only about ten feet high, but he
evidently became bewildered by the
peril of his situation, aud started to
run. Meanwhile be had been noticed
by the engineer, who at once whistled
down brakes and attempted to stop the
engine, but could not do so in time,
and the unfortunate man was struck when
he was about fifteen feet from the end
of the bridge. just previous TO being
struck he attempted to jump oil, but the
effort was a feeble one and he struck
against the cap of one Of the pillars of
the bridge which caused him to stagger
back right in front Of the engine, which
struck him forcibly, throwing him from
the bridge TO tbe ground below. In the
fall he struck against the stopework Of
the bridge.
The injured man lay where he fell
until the train was stopped, when he was
picked up and was brought TO the depot
in this city. DIR Maull was speedy
summoned, and rendered all aid in his
over, but 10 was soon evident that the
man would die. Tire ribs were
broken, bis jaw was fractured, there
was a severe cut on the left side of the
head, aud his spine was evidently
affected. IL was also apparent that he
had sustained severe in.o. : injuries
IRON the great shock. Father Taylor,
of ST. Peters Catholic Lburch, this city,
and Father Rebman, of ST. Peters
Church, New Castle, were summoned,
aud adm lnistersd the lasJ rites of the
Church to the unfortunate man. On
account of the great pain he suffered he
was not reu owed from the car, and
about four o'clock he died. Under
taker Palmer took charge of the body,
to await the action OF the Coroner.
TIE INQUEST.
This morning Coroner Butz held an
inquest over Hurley's body, and the jury
returned the following verdict:

THE CAUSE OF THE DISASTER.
Mr.. Sauerlander, in reply to the
questions of the physicians, said the
lamp that exploded was filed with
fluid known as ''ocean oil, !" purchased
from A. d. Vandever, of 100 East
Fourth street. DIR. Bush took some of
the same kind of compound from the
oil can and pouring it into a saucer,
held lighted match about two inches
above from the surface of the oil. In
an instant it ignited and burned so
tenaciously that it was extinguished
with considerable difficulty. This
"ocean oil'' has for several years been
under the ban of "a municipal ordinance,
which forbids its sale as burning fluid,
and few years ago MIR. Vandever was
fined for so selling it.
This morning Mr.. Vandever told a
GAZETTE reporter that he did not sell
ocean oil' as a burning fluid, but
simply for cleaning and mechanical
purposes, and that he kept large pla-
cards hung up in his store announcing
this fact. Therefore, he thought il
people used the oil in lamps they did
so at their own risk.
THE LITTLE GIRL,
who so miracuously escaped injury,
though carried in her mothers arm 8
while the latter's clothes were on fire,
is being cared for in the family of Mr..
Samuel Barker, where hermother first
left her.
THEIR CONDITION AT NOON.
At noon, to-day, Mr.. Sauerlander
was supposed to be slowly sinking,
there being no change for the better in
his condition. Hopes were entertain
ed for the recovery of his wife, al
though she continues to suffer great
pain.
