A MARYLAND TRAGEDY.

Murderous Assault by q Frenzied Fanatic
CRlsFIELD, Md, June 4.-Elijah Sterling,
who lives near here, has for some time imagin-
ed and declared that he was the Son Of God.
Sterling had manifested symptoms of mental
alteration for some days, and became engaged
in a religious disputation with his wife. He
claimed that he was second Saviour, and not
content with the declaration, expressed his de-
termination to make her assent to the belief
that he was really the Son of God Mrs. Ster-
ling protested mildly, and did everything in
her power to quiet the deranged man, and hop
ing to avoid an alteration left the room, saying
that she was compelled to go to an upper room
for some purpose This act seemed to trans
form Sterling from the role Of saviour to that
of devil. He took up position at the foot
of the stairs, armed with keen-edged hatchet
and, as his wife came down, made deadly
assault upon her. The first blow inflicted a
terrible wound above the left eye, the second
a horrible cash in the back of the neck, and
there were several other frightful gashes on
several parts of her body. While Sterling was
engaged in his bloody work son of the would
be murderer came to the assistance of his
mother, whereupon Sterling attacked him in a
savage manner. While he was struggling with
the boy Mrs. Sterling, covered with blood and
in an almost dying condition, dragged herself
to neighbours house a short distance away.
Young Sterling received a severe wound from
the Ratchet, but before the blow could be re-
peated managed to escape. The old man re-
turned to his room and set up demoniacal
yelling. He was finally secured and sent to
jail. The latest report represents Mrs. Ster-
ling in dying condition.

KALLocH
Delivers q Sermon of Apology
and Defense
AND REPRESENTS HIMSELF AS a
RAM TIED TO THE HORNS OF
THE ALTAR.

RoCKLAND, June 5.-The Rev. 1. S. Kalloch
spoke this morning at the First Baptist Church
toa very large congregation. This is the
church where he preached his first sermon at
the age of nineteen and over which he was
pastor for several years following, till called to
fremont Temple. He took for text Acts
81: 19-"And when he had saluted them, he de-
clared particularly what things God had
wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry"
His discourse was largely reminis-
cent of his labors and experience with the
Rockland church referring to his baptism
when boy by his revered father who said to
the assembled people that as Abraham offered
up Isaac so he consecrated his Isaac to the
service of the same god. Mr.. Kalloch re-
marked that his father little knew upon what
an altar he laid him and to what a stormy life
of conflict he consigned him. Respecting the
evil which had been said of him, the speaker
said that although more time and money and
effort had been spent in the attempt to fasten
disgrace or crime upon him than had perhaps
fallen to the lot of any other man in the
country, yet he could say that in no eccesiasti-
cal tribunal, no court or no business company
COulu Iu0re 10 louuu any IOCoIu dSdluSb I'LL.
He said that since he went out of business and
politics in Kansas he had not gone into either
since. He was not engaged in politics in San
Francisco, whatever lying newspapers had
said. He was minister still. His church and
himself were perfectly united and notwith-
standing his duties as mayor of that city he
preached regularly to larger congregation
and did as much pastoral work as any minis
ter in San Francisco. He thanked God that
he wasa minister of the poor of the people.
He drew picture of the Chinese and said
there were enough of them in California to
perform all the labor of the State to the ex-
clusion of American workmen. 1t was as an
advocate of the rights and welfare of the peo-
pie that he was nominated for the mayoralty,
a nomination which he in no wise expected
but which he was urged to accept by his
church and by many prominent men of San
Francisco because it was believed that in the
revolution that had come he might be safe
leader of the people. He was no politician
and member of no political party. His
warmest friends and supporters were those
among whom he lived daily and they ought to
be better judges of him than people who lived
three Thousand miles away. Mr.. Kalloch
preached at the same church this evening to
crowded congregation.

Failures for Last Week.


New YORK, june 4.-Dun, Wiman & Co.
report for the week about the usual number of
failures, though from the South the casualties
reported have been much less in the last ten
days than during any period .since the COM
mencement of the year. The condition of the
credit in the West seems remarkably good,
judging by the few failures that are occurring
in proportion to the number engaged in bust
ness. In the Middle States mercantile disas-
ters have been more marked, being the result
of lines of credit extended to individuals be-
yond due bonds Taking the country as
whole, however, the failures are remarkably
small in view Of the volume of business being
transacted, the extended lines of credit and
the small profit realized within the last six
months.
Serious Charges Against a Congressman.
At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
Thursday, in discussion on the report of a
special committee on the sugar question,
Frederick A. Conkling made charge that a
member of the Ways and Means Committee Of
the last Congress received 100000 from a
sugar combination on his pledge that there
should be no legislation on the sugar question
Mr.. Conkling was asked if he would give the
name of the member of the committee who re-
ceived the 100000, in order to relieve other
members from his imputation. He replied
that he must positively decline, and should
take his own time and his own course in pre-
senting the facts to the public.

The Kittery Tragedy.


PORTSMOUTH, N. H, June 4.-The remains
of Mrs. Mary Gilman, who was burned to
death by the destruction of the house at Kit
terry Point, in which she resided, have been
taken from the ruins, and were forwarded to
ossipee to-day for burial The fears of foul
play have been dispelled by the finding of the
government bonds, which were supposed to
have been in the house at the time of the fire,
and which led interested parties to suspect that
a crime had been committed.
