The Proposed Christian Church.

The joint committee having in charge
the plans for the new Christian Church to
be built on the site of the present Vermont
avenue Church have been actively en-
gagged in making preparations.
The committee consists of five members
appointed by the local congregation and
five by the board of managers of the Gen
eral Missionary Convention. The local COM
mittee consists of the Rev. f. d. Power,
Messrs. w. s. Roose, A. X. Tingle, II. G.
Stier, and ]. F. Saum. The five appointed
by the convention are Hon. j. f. Fisk, of
Covipgton, Ky. Mr.. X. 1. Teur, of Phila-
delphia; Mr.. Jacob B. Thomas, of Balti-
more; Hon. Russell Erritt, of Pennsylvania,
and Hon. r. NJ. A. Hawk, of Illinois,
The committee have already decided to
erect church edifice to cost about S35, 900,
and to be in design somewhat similar to All
Souls Church, on Fourteenth street, near L.
The seating capacity of the main audi
torium of the proposed church will be eight
hundred. There will be a lecture room
built in the rear of the church, with seat
ing capacity of four hundred.
The congregation will continue to worship
in the frame edifice until the lecture-room
has been built, when the present building
will be torn down and the new one COM
menced. The committee will employ an
architect to make plans at once, and as soon
as possible the contract will be let and the
work cOmmenced

WE OWE the Hon. Springer au apology.
1t was not our intention to accuse him of
deliberate falsehood in his own person. We
should have said that when he quoted
Tom James lies on the floor Of the House
he thereby became falsifier by proxy.
But he knew the character of Tom James
so well that there was very little margin
of exculpation left for him to stand on.
The next time the Hon. Springer quotes
SANDER from Tom James lying report he
sheuld say "James, late P. NJ. g., says so
and So" Then everybody would know
what It amounted to, and nobody could be
misled.

amendment thereto is hard to guess now.

is, that If the Senator from Kentucky

in his speech on the tariff commission a

his resolution, the question would never

THE UTAH QUESTION.

The Utah polygamy question is again
up for consideration at Washington.
Among the various propositions adj
vanced for curing the evil is one to
divide Utah and attach portion of it
to Nevada. The people of this State
are not averse to bearing. their just
share of the work that Providence and
the National Government may see fit
to impose upon them, but this propo-
sition seems to be hardly fair one.
The polygamy business in Utah is one
which Congress should deal with in a
direct manner. The constitution Of the
United States prohibits the dirty prac-
tees of the polygamists, and it is with
in the province of Congress to provide
measures for the evil. It is scarcely
fair for Congress to shirk its work in
the matter by scoeping up third or a
fourth of the filth of Utah and dumping
it into our back yard.

Arctic Exploration

1t is gratifying to observe the interest
exhibited by all the civilized nations in
the welfare of the brave men compris-
ing the Jeanette expedition. The
sympathy thus universally expressed
for the daring explorers is just tribute
to their bravery. Every human being
capable of feeling sympathy for the
unfortunate, responds to the glad well
come of these venturesome men from
the unknown depths of the Arctic ocean.
These expeditions into the bleak, ice
bound regions of the north may seem
like wanton reoklessness of adventure,
hazardous and improbable, and of no
possible benefit to mankind, but there
will always be found men to undertake
such voyages So long as there shall be
ten-acre plot of land on the globe, so
long will there be found men to go
thither, whatever tine risks may be.
But these expeditions are not unat-
tended with profit. The knowledge of
mankind is enlarged in various impor-
tant ways. We gather new light in the
flora and fauna Kingdoms, in the min
eral and the astronomical wealth of the
worlds knowledge. The hitherto I'M
known currents of the wide waste of
the Arctic waters are unfolded, and
thousand mysteries of the past may be-
come unveiled to the hardy mariner of
those strange and almost impenetrable
seas. The people Of the more favored
zones may never go picnicing to
Herald Island and beyond, and the
northwest passage may never become
favored route for transcontinental
tourists, but the world will be wiser for
the knowledge we shall gain in the
future by the exploration of the Arctic
regions.

Two Men and a Woman Hanged

REIDsvILLE, n. c., Jan. 14.-Jee
Hay, Eldridge Scales and Matilda
Scales GALL colored) were executed at
Wentworth in this State yesterday.
The execution was public and witnessed
by over 1000 persons, mostly negroes.
The machine of death was erected in a
deep ravine in the suburbs of the vii
lage The three doomed prisoners had
interviews with their friends in the
Jail yesterday morning and babe them
a fearful farewell, after which they
partook of a lunch. The two men, Hay
and Scales, donned their best suits
Matilda Scales attired herself in a dress
Of dark merino, in which she
had often appeared before her fellow
murderers in their visits to her home.
The three prisoners were placed in a
wagon drawn by double team and
taken to the gallows. A squad of fifty
armed militiamen marched alongside
the condemned felons in order to pre-
vent interference with the execution of
the law The Sheriff had provided
himself with a military guard Of about
200 men. These were formed in hol-
low square around the gibbet and kept
back the crowd. Along the route from
the jail to the scaffold tine prisoners
yelled and screamed The woman's
shrieks could be heard for half mile.
She called upon her friends in the
crowd that lined the road to come to
her assistance and save her from her
doom. Women in the
throng answered her appeals and en-
deavored as best they could to comfort
and cheer her. They begged her to
think of her future and not of the ordeal
through which she was to pass.
The crime for which Hay, Scales and
Matilda were hanged WAS the murder
Of Nash Carter, the husband Of Matilda.
The men dragged Carter by a rope
around his neck and stabbed him with
I knife, when the woman jumped on
MS body and stamped his life out. He
lad accused the men of criminal init !
macy with his wife.
