ChurchNnfes.

Dr. Hawes at the North church morning service yesterday, gave an interesting dis course from the words in 1st John, 'sThe blood of Jesus Christ the son cleanseth from all sin" The apostle had in mind the sacri- feial suffering and bloodshed upon the cross at Calvary Not the living example, not the miracles, not the birth nor the resurrection,
 but plainly the outpoured blood and death of Christ, the apostle here sets forth. Sin is so offensive, so bad, that language fails to ex- press its utter vileness, it's dreadful guilt, It's woful ruin. The cause of all pain, unhappi- ness, sorrow and grief, the atoning sacrifice of Gods perfect well beloved Son alone can take it away Not that it is wholly removed from us in this world, but as our Christian life goes on, by prayer and effort, the grace of God saves, helps and keeps us till by death we enter heaven. In heaven alone, when freed from all earthly infrmity, are we

An Unlucky Number for Wheeler


 It IS seldom that given number can be found to repeat itself in so singular and sig nifcant manner as in the following case On the 18th day of October George A. Wheeler strangled his sister -in-law, Adella J. Tilson, under circumstances unparalleled in the an nals of crime on the coast On the 18th day of November he was indicted by the grand jury. On the 18th day of December he was arraigned for the crime. On the 18th day of January he was convicted of murder in the first degree, and on the 18th day of February he was sentenced to be hanged on Tuesday, the 18th of April, by the neck until he was dead. Evidently nineteen is an unfortunate and unlucky number for Wheeler.

One week from tomorrow the July crim- inal term of the Superior Court will open. The judge to preside will be selected at the annual allotment next Tuesday. Notices for the petit jury will not be sent out until this week. A grand jury will be summoned for Wednesday, July 6-the second day of the term They are to consider the case against George French, of Waterbury, charged with murder 8 short time ago, and Joseph Craven, charged with raping Mary Ann Keenan, in this city, March 2S. It is not probable the Riggs case will be tried at this term, because it is customary to hold short session and effect what is called a jail delivery.

 Another Story of Stewards Remains.
 NEW YORK, June 26.-A morning paper publishes what purports to be the diary of a special detective of many years experience, covering period of over two years, giving alleged facts in reference to the stealing of A. T. Stewards remains. The narrative is voluminous, and only three chapters are pub lished to-day, the remaining being promised from day to day until complete. In to-day's chapters the detective hints strongly at two sextons of St. Marks church being in collu- sion with thieves, the chief of whom he says, was Mike Kelly, the hackman who conveyed the body to New Jersey and who was arrest ed on suspicion few days after the robbery, but subsequently, discharged for want of evi- dence to hold him. Kelly immediately dis appeared, and although detectives and others made diligent search for him trace of his whereabouts were ever discovered until the narrator, who was familiar with Mike Kelly and his brother Edward, obtained the desired information on promise of dividing the reward and shielding Mike from the law. Mike Kelly was associated with Billy Porter's gang. The narrator alleges that the body is now and has been for some months con- cealed within twenty miles of this city and which eliminated a few weeks ago the body would have been restored to it's last resting place.

A Boys Skeleton Found.

HUDSON, June 26.-About two years ago Hiram l.. Smith, of Broome, Schoharie coun- ty, took town pauper, boy about 10 years of age, to work for him. On Sunday, Sep tember 12, 1880, Smith and the boy went to look after some sheep, and the boy did not return. Smith said at the time that he left the boy in the field. A search was instituted by the villagers, but no trace of the boy could be found. On Sunday last, as Cyrus Kicker son was on his way across lots to church he ran across the skeleton of boy, on the north side of ravine near Smiths farm. In few minutes he had the villagers at the spot. The remains were identified those of the lost boy. Coroner Zeh held an inquest yesterday, and at it's close Smith was arrest ed. Smiths sworn statement was in sub stance as follows: "I sent the boy to watch the sheep. There was not water enough in the stream to drown him, nor was the ravine deep enough to injure him by falling into it. The bull in the lot was not dangerous. I have no theory to how he came to his death.' The impression is that in whipping the boy Smith gave him blow that proved fatal, that the body was then concealed until the late freshet exhumed it.
