Kansas agitation, and public meeting held at old Brewster Hall, at which he made stirring address, at which Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Rev. Dr. Dutton and others participated with eloquent words, and at which Bibles and Sharps' rifles were distrib- uted, was one of the notable events of those days. In his address at that meeting Dr. Bacon said:
 F "No prayers cup to God that slavery may be- an institution in Kansas but prayers go up toGod con God ayenge his own elect who cry to him day and night7 tell you he will"
 Dr. Bacon spoke with no uncertain words on the danger to the nation which spread of slavery involved. Dr. Bacon's power as a theologian was felt all over the continent in his denomination and outside, and he stood as one of the bulwarks against the aggressive ness of such lights as Charming and Theodore Parker, and their doctrines made no head way in Connecticut owing to him and others of theolooical note connected with Yale Col lege. As he grew in years his writings and speeches were marked with less austerity than in earlier life, and he cherished in the bonds of regard and friendship, though still standing firmly by his eolors, ministers of religious denominations not evangelical. His naturally cumulative nature made him with his ability powerful champion. His Chris tian loving tenderness and iberality made him beloved by others not of his belief. He was sure to have large body of hearers whenever he was announced on any special topic His time and influence were ever at the command of duty. His memory will be loved and cherished in generations to come in Center church. How much he will be missed there, the scene of his life labors l How many families win revere his memory as that of the sainted man whose presence is connected with the most tender associations of the heart How many will miss their venerable spiritual guide and leader In how many homes has there come deep sense of personal bereavement.

The Extensive Preparation Being Made
for the Reception Of the Future Crown
Princess of Austria in Vienna.
VIENNA, May 5.-Vienns just now
has but one thought and one care, that
is to prepare for the reception Of the
future Crown Princess of Austria, who
will make her entry into the city TO
morrow. The town is already making
its toilette for the occasion. Every
where are scaffoldings, ladders and
stages, and people at work on them, and
in the. balconies and windows are other
people, hanging festoons, wreaths and
drsperies. and making preparations
for illuminations. The weather is
fine and promises to continue. The
greatest activity reigns along the line OF
the bridal procession. The marriage
procession will assemble at the There
sianum, a large educational establish
ment for the nobility, having great state
apartments. The street leading from
the Theresianum is at first rather mar.
row, but widens gradually until it opens
into a tolerably spacious square, which
has been chosen as the centre OF the
reception festival and where the burgo-
master will present the address Of the
town. In the centre OF the square an
ornamental canopy is in course OF con.
struction, under which the state
coach of the Princess is to
stop and an address will be
presented. All around the square tri.
bunes are being constructed for the &C.
commodation OF the Ministers OF State
and other high functionaries, the men,
bers OF the Austrian and Hungarian
legislatures, representatives of towns
and various deputations that will come
up. Elizabeth bridge which the pro.
cession is then to cross, is the most orna-
mental OF the bridges over the river at
Vienna, but the river itself is not very
ornamental. 1t becomes at this season
OF the year q black and mn IDLY stream
saturated with all the refu - of num-
Der OF factories which use y waters. SO
with view to dl.guise this
bridge it is being transformed
into an ornamental bower
with flowers and wreathes. Inc loot
path of the bridge will be converted into
flower beds on both sides, from which
one hundred and fifty young girls,
dressed in white, will throw rose leaves
on the path OF the Princess. On the
ring itself large tribune for spectators
will be erected before the Museum
buildings, and also number OF tribunes
before the outer buTgthor, where, on the
occasion of the silver wedding OF En-.
peror Francis Joseph, will be received
the ovaiions OF the town. On these tri-
bunes, the members of the various
guilds, numbering some five thousand,
are to stand with flags and banners and
other insignia rs representation OF
Vienna Bourgeoisic. Along the line OF
the road, veterans, FIRE brigades, choral
societies and rifle associations will take
places. The cortege Of the Princess only
consists OF those specially considered as
attached to court, such as ladies in
waiting, privy councillors and chamber
lains, in coaches and on horseback.

LONDON, May 5.-ParnelPs amend.
ment opposing the second reading OF
the land bill, declares that the land bill
in its present state would fail to secure
to the tenant farmers such reduction in
rents as would afford adequate protec-
ton to their property in their holdings,
and would leave evicted or rack rented
tenants in a defenceless position, and
that it offers no guarantee oil the crea.
ton OF sufficient number oil occupying
owners to check the monopoly in land or
make available for the laborlng popula.
ton any OF the large area OF cleared land
from which former occupants were un-
Justly evicted. -,
Gladstone, in replying to Parnell, said
he would place no obstacle in the way
of Justin McCarthy's motion that the
action OF the Irish Executive in arbi-
trarily arresting member OF Parlia-
ment and proclaiming the city oil Dub
lin is an abuse OF the powers granted by
the coercion act, &c. but he could not
facilitate it. Gladstone announced,
amid cheers, that he would move on
Monday next an address praying that
the Crown provide q monument in
Westminster TO the memory OF Beacons'
field, with an inscription expressing a
high sense of his rare and splendid giits,
his devoted labors in Parliament and
great offices OF the State, assuring the
H,oo, tbat tho Honse would make good

OF the miners union informed reporesf
last evening that IL the bosses attempt
to reduce the price Of digging from thrse
aud a half to three cents there will DO .
general strike, not only here bit

the situation extremely critical. Minsfs
generally will follow the action OF their
associates here. who, Mr.. Jones says,
are determined not to submit to a
reduction. He has been work.
ing for long time to consolidate the
miners and bring them to an agreement
to stand up for their rights, and he
believes his efforts in this direction have
been crowned with success. Therefore
he thinks if there should be strike here
it would extend to every part OF the
country and be the biggest thing OF the
kind ever seen. He is now awaiting the
action OF the operators here. Ii they
shall attempt to enforce the order Tor a
reduction, which emanated from the
Pittsburgh Coal Exchange, he will at
once give the signal to stop work and the
strike will begin. The matter may not
reach a crisis for week or two.

Measures to Be Taken to Prevent their
Coming to this Country.
WASHINGTON, May Sit is under
stood that, in view OF the recent large
influx of deluded women-Mormon con-
verts 50 cslled-from Europe, the State
Department is devoting attention to the
condition OF the law in regard to the i'm
migration Of men and women bound for
Utah, sent from Europe by Mormon
agents. There are, OF course, no accu-
rate statistics showing the number OF
converts annually sent to America by
Mormon missionaries in Europe, but it
is known to be large, and it is known
that the women exceed the men
in numbers. 1t is notori-
Gus that the women are
brought over for polygsmous purposes.
They are generally kept in ignorance OF
the real nature of Mormonism, but the
purposes had in view by the men who
convert them and send them over here
are well known TO the government. 1t
can be said that il the government had
the power this flood OF Immigrants would
be checked and diminished at once;
unfortunately, there is no provision or
law directly applying to this class. In
the absence of any such law, the depart
ment has done the best il could in in
structing our representatives abroad to
do all in their power to prevent the peo-
pie OF the countries to which they are
accredited from embracing the Mormon
faith, so called, and immigrating to
America. Congress will, it is understood,
be asked at the next session to enact
law which will explicitly prohibit the
admission Of Mormon immigrants.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-A Western As
sociated Press reporter has learned def
nitely that an important communication
was sent to the Senate this afternoon,
containing withdrawal Of the nomina-
tons for New York District Attorneys
and Marshals, and that Robertson's
name was not In it. Woodford and
Payne for Attorney and Marshal Of
the Southern New York District, and
McDoughsll and Lenney for the North
ern District, were withdrawn in the
message. The President stated that
Robertson was not withdrawn.
There was terrible excitement about
the capitol this afternoon over the re-
port that the Presidents message with
drew Robertson. The Senate was in
executive session and not a word could
be learned for some time. The first in-
formation obtained was that all OF the
New York nominations, except Robert
son, were withdrawn. A reporter Of
the Western Associated Press next
learned that the message withdrew the
Conkling nominations for district attor-
neys and United States marshals. This
message is an open declaration Of war
on the part of the President against
Conkling. Yesterday the President had
q consultation with some friends and
determined upon making an aggressive
fight and he inaugurated it to-day. He
intends to keep it up and to use every
effort 10 confirm Robertson. There
were fiye Withdrawals altogether. Tyler,

Daring and Murderous Performance ofa
New Mexican Desperate.
SANTA FE, n. NJ May 6.-The particu-
lars OF the escape OF Billy Bonney, alias
"Billy, the Kid" on April 30th, from
the Lincoln county Jail, already tele-
graphed, have been received. Robert
Olinger and J. W. Bell we're the guards.
OlinSer had been to supper and Bell was
sitting on the floor, when the Kid ap-
preached him, talking to him in a pleas
ant way. Being near enough the Kid,
who was heavily shackled and hand
cuffed. managed to Jump at Bell, hitting
him with his handcuf on the head,
fraeturing Bells skull and laying him
senseless on the ground; then, snatch.
ing Bells revolver from his belt,he shot
him in the breast.
Olinger, hearing the shot, thought
something was up, and ran from the
house, where he had been eating supper,
about seventy-fve yards from the Jail,
toward that structure. Just as he en-
tered small gate leading through the
iail fence, the Kid shot him from up
stairs with a double.barreled gun,
heavily charged, and killing him instant
ly. The Kid then got an ak, knocked
of his shackles and handouts, made a
man in the jail.yard saddle horse for
him, took Winchester rifle and four
revolvers from the Jail, and rode out
Sheriff Ca rett, who has once cap
tured the Kid, was at White Oaks at the
time, and has started in pursuit, al
though nothing OF the Kids wherea'
bouts is known 80 far. The Kid has re-
peatedly threatened the life OF Governor
Wallace, and will doubtless endeayor to
carry his threats into execution, he has
also threatened the life Of Sheriff Gar
rett, and, unless he goes to Mexico, Lin:
coin county will surely be the scene OF
some cold.blooded murders, as the Md
is one OF the most desperate and reck-
less villains unhung.
