past nine. Common credentials were not
ready to report. The announcement OF
this fact was received with some marks OF
disappreciation. 1t was stated on behalf
of the convention that the credentials OF
the New York delegations were not yet al

as to the official authority of some dele

over some names. A telegram received

learned that 5000 proprietors representing
a rental of ten million pounds year, had
already refused rent in obedience to the

A BAD SCARE.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1.-The police in Kan
sas CITY received information that another
train robbery was contemplated on one OF
tie east bound trains, running from that
city Monday night. Armed men accom-
panied the east bound passenger train on
the Missouri Pacific, which left the depot
at six o'clock. The Chicago Sc Alton
train which runs side by side with the Ia
ciic was also specially guarded that night,
it was believed the attack was to be made
at point near Blue river, near which the
two tracks diverge. No attack was how
ever made. The contemplated robbery
was given away by former mistress OF
one of the old Glendale gang, but for some
reason amounted to nothing.

SCHOONER AND TEN MEN LOST.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3D.-A postal card dated
Marietta, Wisconsin, Nov. 20, signed Capt.

to be the Kate Giilett 260 tons burden,
owned here by T. w. Harvey, laden with
400. 900 feet of lumber, is ashore at Plumb
Island. and that all the hands are suppos
ed to be lost. Her crew consisted Of John

considered seaworthy.
CONCERNING FREIGHT RATES.
The railroad companies of this city will
hold a meeting next Saturday for the pur-

shall determine the classes OF goods ship

ton is effected, the result will be saving
of at least $4,000 to the roads in Chicago

Judge Porter then began his interroga-
ton, eliciting from the prisoner in his
several replies that physically he
WAS A COWARD,
and always kept away from personal dan
ger. Morally, he was as brave as a lion
when he thought the Deity was back OF
him. In his opinion the doctors killed the
President.
The acts OF Jones and Mason in attempt
ing to kill him were wrong, and they
ought to be punished unless they can show
they were inspired by the Deity. The
witness then showed signs of impatience
and excitability, striking his open hand
upon the desk, and emphasized every SEN
tence uttered when pressed for answers.
He finally became obstinate.

The bell was bought by the Sunday school
held in the public school building there
Through the kindness ol the leading men OF
the school, permission has been granted to
the public school to use il during the week.
The beautiful belfry adds much to the sp-
pearance of the school building, which was
built but few years ago, and is one OF the
fiuest in the district.
The exercises commenced at p o'clock,
and consisted Of addresses, aud music by the
Sunday school. Mr.. F. W Smith, formerly
superintendent of sehool, spoke on the pre-
paration in the world for the coming OF
Christ. lie said that the world needed a
special preparation to enable it to receive its

Jewish people opened the way for the Saw
iour's coming, both by predicting it and by
making mankind feel the peed Of it. II

Rev. W. II. Strauss congratulated the MEM
bers of the school on having procured such
a fine and valuable addition to their school.
He spoke Of the influence such bell has in
a community, in reminding old aud Young
of their duty on Sunday morning when the
Sunday school opens. He said that he be-
lieyed it would serve to waken up many to
a sense Of their duty in this respect who
would otherwise remain negligent.
Prof. Thos. NJ. Ballet gave a short sketch
of the history and use of bells in ancient
times. He stated that they were used in
China and India before they were used else
where. They were not used in churches till
about the Atb (ssohry, They were used ia
