Morphine Used by a Suicide.


 P1TTsBURG, May 22-Major George w. Murphy we'll known real estate dealer of this city, walked into Dr. Benham's office Friday evening and said, Doctor, I've taken morphine and want you to witness my will" The doctor did not believe it, think ing that Murphy was joking Murphy then said that he had taken eight or nine grains, and in reply to questions said he had not been drinking nor had he any domestic or business trouble. He had telegraphed to his wife of his death, which he meant to have occur Friday morning. Dr. Benham took him to his own office on Fourth avenue and went for Dr. Rodgers, and when he came back he found that the drug had taken effect and was doing it's work very rapidly. The two physicians at once applied the usual res toratives and worked with the patient until Il o'clock this morning, when his condition was so much improved to admit of a re- moval to the West Pennsylvania Hospital. He recognized his wife and daughter, but was too feeble to talk to them. He fingered till o'clock this afternoon, when death en- sued Major Murphy won his title by actual service during the war and since that has held the office of assistant clerk of the courts under Colonel Joe Brown, and was cashier of the Pittsburg Savings bank and director of the Homestead Improvement company. He was about fifty years of age and has large family and several grandchil dren. His home is at Haysville, on the Fort Wayne railroad. His life is insured for prob ably S15, 1000. A little case of debt was to have been heard in Common Pleas Court, in which Major Murphy was to appear as a witness. This morning the attorney in the case asked for it's continuance because of the circumstances concerning the witness. The attorney stated that the young man bearing the subpoena had met MT Murphy on Smith. field street yesterday afternoon and served the writ upon him, when Murphy said: q will accept service upon this, but you can make your return naortatats est Che is dead), for will be dead before the case comes on."

Crop Prospects.

SG. LOUIS, May 22.-A special from Dallas, Texas, to the Repu5l5can says that the wheat harvest has begun in that section and that the quality is better than at any time during the past twelve years. The yield will average eighteen bushels to the acre. The prospects of all the crops are good, but the general acreage will be smaller than last year on &C., count of the scarcity of labor.

The Testament Revision-OpiniOns of
 Prominent Clergymen.

Prominent Clergymen.
 NEW YORK, May 22.-In all of the Protest ant churches today reference was made to the revised New Testament. pr. Howard Crosby, one of the revisers of the New Testa- ment, read his second lesson from the new version. When the Bible services were over Dr. Crosby was asked what he thought of the new version. His response was that as he was one of the revisers of course he thought well of it. l. entirely met his approval and he regarded it as vast improvement over the existing version. The advantages of the new revision were closer similarity to tEs original Greek manuscript, a more thorough and intelligent translation, purer diction and an elimination of crude expressions which in the old reyisions were chargeable solely to careless translations or an indifferent knowl- edge of Greek. Dr. Crosby thought the new revision much more correct than the older ones and more scholarly, and that it would come into general use.
 Rev. Alfred B. Simpson, Presbyterian, took strong grounds in favor of the new vision. He said he was struck by the new changes that had been made. The antique and dignifed expressions which we have low ed still remain. There was need of change, for many words in the old revision have be- come obsolete
 Rev. Dr. Hawkins, of Holy Trinity church, said the appearance of the revised Testament is the literary event of the nineteenth cen- tury. It is the sensation of the day. It is the same grand old book revised and it's holy strength has not been impaired.
 Bishop Simpson, Methodist spoke in ref erence to the revised book. He thought great responsibility rested upon the men who assumed the task of revising the scrip lures. We are taught to believe that the Bi- ble is Gods word, and through that book we gain a glimpse of the blessed immortality that awaits us The Bible is 8 lamp to our feet and light to our path. St. John tells us that ''In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and was God" Flow important it is then that the true meaning, the spirit of the scriptures, should be kept clear and remain unchanged.
