Yesterday the papers relating to the

the utmost importance that Mr..
Huntington secure a Louisville con-

have. 1t is understood that he will
in shert time begin the building of a
road from Lexington to Louisville, but
pending that he has obtained from the
Louisville & Nashville the fullest use
of its line from Louisville to Lexing-
ton, and in a few weeks through cars
will run from this city TO Newport
News. On all this business the L. &

every accommodation will be extended

The plans Of Mr.. Huntington do no

DebIs Upon Churches.

New York Herald
We read the other day that distin-
guished clergyman had gone from
one church to another because he
thought his personal popularity
might enable the congregation
which selected him to pay off its
debt. Every few months we hear
complaints ofdebt burdened churches.
Fine buildings are erected with
mortgages upon them. There are
drains upon the church treasury
for missionary purposes; for salaries to
organists, and singers and pastors.
Then the churches run behind. The
attendance falls away. The cause OF
religion is subordinated to the fnan-
cial Interests Of the congregation. This
is among the difficulties attending
modern religion, and to be considered
in connection with the question, which
the Herald has so often indOrsed, Of
the apathy Of modern religious
thought.
If there is anything which Chris
tian pulpit should teach it is the
avoidance Of debt. The church, before
it is dedicated to the worship Of God,
should be free from any obligation. II
people wish church, they should find
the money to build it, and not 60
huckstering into Wall street to raise
| funds at eXOrbitant rates OF interest.

II is now believed that the daredevil
who, with consummate address, robbed the
stage.coach running between Del Norte and
Alamosa on the night Of June 29th, waS ea-
tirely without assistance in that bold opera
ton. III this be the fact, his exploit Will
rank among the most audacious in the an
nails OF highway robbery. There were
eight men and one woman inside the coach.
and fonr men on top besides the driver.
Wien they were about twenty miles from
Del Norte, at midnight, the robber appeared
behind a piece OF canvas stretched along the
roadside, ordered the driver to halt and the
entire company TO dismount from The stage.
All the fourteen persons Immediately COM
piled and ranged themselves in line in ac-
cordance with the robbers instructions.
He then took all their money and sacked
the mail.bags. coolly cautioning bis prison.
ers mean time not to make any unnecessary
motions for they were all covered by the
guns OF his companions stationed close by
i'm The woods. Thus with an occasional OBJ
seryation uttered in a soft and mellow voice
be finished his job and retired into the
darkness. After bis departure the paSsen-
gers picked up the scattered mail and the
stage proceeded. A man by the name OF
II. NJ. Burton WAS arrested In Pueblo on
July /, charged with the robbery, and on
July 8 underwent a preliminary examlna-
aion in Denver and was committed for trial.
