Episcopal Missionary Conference

Second Days Session-Address by the
 Bishop-The Mission Work-A Day of
 Interest in the Cause
 The second. d.day's session of the annual mis- sionary conference of the Episcopal Church in this country was held yesterday at Trinity church. After the holy communion had been administered Rt. Rev. Bishop Williams made an address of much beauty and power, encouraging and melting to missionary work and faith in God.
 Bishop Williams briefly reviewed the prog ress of the church in the American Union and quoted from the Bishop of Winchester who saw bright future in the work, but all across it's glorious record also saw the sinis- ter word 'Impatience." Tie reverend speak CT recalled what had been done since 1885, when two men were appointed as missionary bishops, only one of whom went into vest ern service At that time west of Ohio with the exception of Illinois. there were but two church organizations, and all south, with the exception of Kentucky, was without church association. Fifty years is not 8 long period of time, but within that limit the whole country has been mapped out to the shores of the Pacific by missionary enter prise, and the whole field is now covered and made ready for healthy growth. In 1853 the speaker Was one of com- mittee that made report on missionary in

The victims were carried of in all direc- tions, some to their homes, some to houses close by, and others to the various hospitals, so that their exact number cannot yet be stated. The physicians say that nearly every one of the cases admitted to St. Mary's Hospital will result fatally. The total number of deaths will probably exceed twenty, there being ten dead bodies in the ruins. Had the fire occurred in daylight fully 400 people would have been compelled to fight for life with the flames. Within an hour the flames were brought under con trol, leaving the walls standing, but the in side completely gutted. The loss in property will amount to $65, 1000, to offset which there is an insurance of $50. GOO. Some of the workmen attribute the origin of the fire to sparks from the electric light falling among waste. Others attribute the sudden spread to influences of the overloaded wires. The same mill was burned in 1877.
 Two bodies have been recovered this morn ing from the ruins. One is that of Lizzie Marks, of Philadelphia, and the other is SUD- posed to be the body of John Weeks, twen- ty-one years old, who belongs in Ulster coun- ty, New York. George W. Dougherty, who jumped from the fourth story window, died at the hospital this morning. Up to noon to-day the number of dead bodies recovered, as reported to the coroner, was eleven. The deputy coroner this morning learned that the means of escape from the building were in adequate. The only theory of the origin of the fire was that already advanced-the cleo tric light

Suicide by Hanging.

The body of man was found hanging to a tree in the vicinity of Scotch Gap, near New London, on Wednesday. The body of the man was well dressed. He was hanging by piece of new clothes line, which was wound around the limb of tree six or eight times. The surroundings presented & sickening sight. Directly underneath the body, and for several feet around it, the ground was literally alive with maggots. The flesh from the hands had all peeled of, and was hanging by the finger tips, and the mans gray hair had fallen to the ground, but DOT tion of the gray whiskers still remained. The place where the man was discovered was di- rectly back of Smiths grove and about three minutes walk from the railroad track.
 Another report is: The man was about fifty years of age and six feet high. He had on black sacque coat mixed pants and vest, a calico shirt, and wore No. 9 Congress gait CTS. The eye glasses are No. 13. No papers were found. The rope used was of jute, the size of halibut line. There were thirty six turns around the limb of the tree, and the knot was tied to the dangling rope with a piece of string. He made moose of the bight of the rope. It appears that the man prepared the fatal rope with much care in order that death might ensue as quickly as possible le-Neao London Telegram.

 The dead body of an unknown man, supposed to have been'a passenger of the Sound steamers, a7d which had evidently been in the water some time. was washed ashore Fishers Island last ing. The man wore blue suit and underelothng of fine quality. Nothing that would identify him was tound on the body. In the pockets were found a number of New Jersey Central railroad tickets The hair and whiskers dropping off, and it is impos- sible to recognize the features
 The body of well dressed man about five feet nine inches high found Saturday morning on the shore of Gardiners Island. It had apparently been in the water four five weeks The drowned man had 8 broad forehead and sho chin, the nose had completely disappeared, and the body so decom- posed that no approximation of his possible. The body is supposed to be that of the late Captain John F. Kim erey, as the description given of the clothing corresponds to that worn by Captain Kim berley when he was lost from his yacht, the l. H. Brown, five weeks ago. Captain Kimberleys son will go to Cold Springs, L. l., where the body in tered, and if he identifies the remains will have them removed to C1inton.-Nelu London Telc1YdT0

This year the col leetions amount to about $25o. This shows the increased interest felt in the sub feet of missions. What is needed now is g patient confidence in the work for the exten- sion of the Redeemer's kingdom.

Family Poisoned-A Colored Servants
 Revenge.
 HANNIBAL, Oct 13.-While the family of Hiram Westfall were seated at breakfast yes- terday morning they were suddenly attacked with sickness and began vomiting. The per sons at the table were Mir. Westfall, his wife young lady and hired man. Their symp- toms became more violent and death seemed certain, when MT. Westfall whose attack seemed the ightest, mounted his horse and summoned physicians, who immediately pected the cause to be the eating of poison ous food. Mrs. Westfall died last night and the hired man is not expected to live. A dish of oatmeal which had been prepared by a colored servant with whom there had pre- viously been trouble is thought to have been poisoned with arsenic. The servant left the house, but has since been arrested. She tells contradictory stories, and the evidence points to her guilt. The Westfalls are highly re- spected people.

BOSTON, Oct. 13.-P. A. Collins. president f of the National Irish Land League, expresses great surprise over Parnell's arrest and says in an interview this afternoon: I did not suppose Gladstone would again blunder so
 soon. He himself provoked Parnell's recent utterances by his Leeds speech. Whether the Premier is only exhibiting his temper or
 England wants to force ali insurrection, he evidently intends to put the Irish people in 8 fighting mood when they are least prepared for it. I trust the Irish people to keep cool and then Parnell will be greater force in jail than free. think there will be no outbreak, but the arrest will intensity the Land League agitation. Recent experience will show it's results in this period of excitement. They understand that the aim of the government is only to force them to do what they never in tended. They have made 8 mistake. Our
 branch will probably immediately appeal to America for help.
