SARAH STOUT.S STORY.

A most pathetic romance, which may remind US OF
more famous hctions, undCrlIcS the great murder

at Hertford, foil desperately i'll love with COwpcr,

which Cowper WAS ultimately forced 10 produce in
evidence. He therefore had "a final interview with
her explained to her the folly of her passion, there

the evening to go to his lodgings elsewhere. Poor
Sarah Stout rushed ont in despair and threw her
self into the PrOry River There she was found
dead next morning. when the miller came TO pull

QUEER NAMES.
From The Lonlion Clobe.


Perhaps the srangest feature In the whole historv
of christenings is the fact that parents in hnmh2
life should have been so often at a loss TO invent
name for their olive branches. Yet long experience
has proved that one Of the favOrite methods N
choosing name is that OF opening the Bible AZ
hazard, and taking the one which irst catches tls
eye. This practice is supposed to account for Tia
prevalence OF JOshuas Samues and Amoses in
country villages, as compared with much mora
euphonious Biblical names which, however. do moi
appear at the head of the page. The device has
also led to some curious mistakes. such as that Of
the man who having called his four inst sons by
the name Of the four Eyangelists, presented ths
fifth TO the parsOn with request to name him
Acts"
The idea of referring TO books for hint Of this
sort has originated some still more quaint attempts
based on an orthodox though ignorant desire 10
perpetuate the name Of the ancestor. II is thus
that honest country folk, observing " LIbris H.
Smith" inscribed ia book Of their greatgrand
fathers, have taken the young hopeful mp TO the
font with the intention of having HIM baptized
LIbris or Elbris" and altogether refused TO DO
convinced that the original owner of the book was
not SO Chrlstened.

Ne00re Returns.

COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 11.-Returns to-day
from the state election Tuesday, have been
meagre, and no systematic effort is made
to liyure on a majority on the state ticket.
The Democrats, however, claim the state
by $4,000 or more, though the Republicans
think it will not exceed 10000. The con-
gressional delegation will probably stand
six to fifteen in favor of the Democrats.
The Republicans claim the election of
Taylor, Robinson, Keifer. Updegraff,
Morey, Mcclure and Mckinley. The
Democrats claim the election of Fallett in
the First, Jordan in the Second, Murray
in the Third, Lefevre in the Fourth, Saney

CHRISTIAN CONVENTION.

The Annual Meeting at Chicago II s5eriay.
CHICAGO. Oct. 1.-THE Chicago Christ
ian convention met this morning under
the auspices Of the Evangelistic commit
tee. Its object is to intensity and shape
the revival spirit of the churches in the
northwest. Over 500 ministers will be
present, and the hall was we'll filed in the
preliminary meeting to hear Rev. Marcus
Rainsford, of London, England, preach
the opening sermon. His subject was,
''The worlds need, and why the church
fails to meet it." From II to 1 o'clock a
prayer meeting, conducted by B.F. Jacobs,
was held, and a ladies' meeting was held
at the same hour. In the afternoon adres-
ses were made by WI. Erdman, New York,
Maj. D. w. Whittle and James A. Balfour.
of Edinburgh, Scotland. The latter char
acterized the work of Moody and Sankey
in England as miracle. Two strangers,
with no reputation and little learning COM
ing to Englad where the gospel had been
preached for centuries, sending word that
new churches must be built to hold the
masses who would come, and that they
would fill them three times each weekday
as we'll as Sunday, and did it for three
| months or more. Rev. G. q. Fowler, OF
New York, made a practical and earnest
| address.
The evening session opened with prayer
by Bishop McNamara, OF New York. Rev.
DR.. Joseph Cummings, president of the
Northwestern University spoke on "Minis-
try for nliterate and poor" The point
made was that ministers for this class
must come from them. Hence he approved
the work of the salvation army. Rev. DR..
Henson, of Chicago, spoke on ''Self Forget
fulness" and the meeting closed with a
gospel address by Rev. c. Spurgeon, of
London.

THE RESULTS IN THE STATE.


COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 11.-Additional cleo
ton returns are coming in slowly, as the
Republicans are getting no more advices
and conceding everything but few
congressman. Estimates this morning
put the Democratic majority in the state
25,O00, and make the congressional dole
cation stand fifteen Democrats to six Re-
publicans. The election of Mckinley in the
Eighteenth district and Robinson in the
Ninth are in great doubt, and the Republi
cans must carry both to get six congress
men, A peculiar feature of the contest is
that while the Republicans were champion
ing temperance, the Prohibition vote has
greatly increased, and it is estimated as a
larger per cent. gainthan the Democratic.
CINCINNATI RETURNS.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 11.-Complete but un-
official returns from Hamilton county
show the following Democratic majorities:
Newman, secretary of state, 1860: Okey,

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Mckee Rankin Conn PAM


With last evening the Mckee Rankin
company closed their brief engagement of
four performances at the Opera house.
The fact that the two last repre-
sentations. that of the ''49' matt
nee and the evening presentation of
'The Danites," were not given to empty
seats may be accepted as the highest pos
sible compliment to Mr.. Rankin himself.
his company and the merits of the two
plays in which he appeared, for nothing
but genuine enthusiasm could have
called people from their comfortable
homes to face ''old equinox" at his best as
was the case yesterday and last evening.
As it was, both the afternoon and
evening performances were given to
good houses, and in both the
star and his support won new favor with
st. Paul amusement patrons. It need only
be said that the compliment, SO markedly
demonstrated, was duly appreciated, and
that the company, one and all, from Mr..
Rankin down to the most insignificant part
exerted themselves to their utmost
to please, and that they succeeded was
most enthusiastically testified. The pre-
sentation of ''The Danites" was especially
satisfactory, Mr.. Rankin portraying the
character of 'Sandy" in his most happy
humor. Another conception, especially
worthy of mention, was that Of the ''Par-
son. by Mr.. J. j. Holland. In fact the en-
tire portrayal was most conscientious and
meritorious, fully compensating those
present for turning out upon such very
disagreeable night.
