ST. Luka,s Cathedral.

Tomorrow having been appointed by au-
thority as day of special intercession for
missions will be duly observed as such in the
Cathedral A mis-, ionary service will be held
in the evening at half past seven o'clock.
Particular interest will be attached to the
services owing to the presence of the venerable
Archdeacon Krkby who will preach both
morning and evening, and of whom the New
York Times speaks as follows:
In st. Luke's Church, Hudson street, yes
terday, the venerable Archdeacon Kirkby, who
for over 28 years has labored in the British
American mission field, discussed, "The Great
Mission Work of the Age" Small in stature,
he is erect, and his movements are quick and
nervous. His face bears few wrinkles his
hair has not yet grown gray. he has seen
much of the world, more particularly OF that
region included in the far northern dominions
of Great Britain in this hemisphere. To him
belongs the honor of having first preached the
Gospel within the arctic circle. During his
many years of service in the mission field, the
greater portion of which was in the Mackenzie
River district, he witnessed rapid and remark
able advances in the Gospel cause among the
people to whose good his life and labors were
devoted. He told something yesterday OF his
work and of the results which had come from
it, speaking for nearly an hour most interest
ingly. OF the Esquimau and other Indians he
had many anecdotes illustrative of their sim
pie mindedness their thirst for knowledge,
their loyalty to religious convictions, and their
general integrity, when treated as men and
honorably The preacher inveighed strongly
against the popular notion that the best Indian
is dead Indian. Dwelling upon the spread
of Christianity among the natives he adverted
to the fact that the missions of the English
church among them have done such good
work and developed SO rapidly that at present
the work in progress requires the oversight OF
four regularly settled Bishops and the active
labors of over 70 missionaries, nearly half of
the latter being native preachers. The work
done among the Esquimaux, he insisted, could
be done as we'll and with success equally mark
ed among the Indians OF our own West, and
he pleaded earnestly for the awakening of a
warmer interest in missions for that field.

In the Cumming divorce suit in the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts, the case OF the libel
liant rested on Thursday with the deposition of
Charles H. Rogers. In opening for the libelee
Gen. Butler said he proposed to enter cross
libel 1t was his intention to show that the
character of Mrs Louise w. Rogers Cumming
the libellant was not above reproach. Tie evil
dence to be produced would show conclusively
that her declaration in the libel that she had
ever remained true to her marriage vows was
not warranted by the facts. He should prove
that Mrs. Cumming had broken her faith in
Paris and had been discovered by Mr. Cum
ming in her hotel chamber with man who
had travelled about the continent with the
party, ostensibly as an interpreter Mrs. Cum
ming, it was claimed, had confessed her un-
faithfulness andlhad.b been condoned!by her hus-
band. The general proposition of the case OF
the libelee was that unless the libellant had
been faithful herself, she could not legally Pc
tition for divorce on account OF her husbands
lapse from virtue. various authorities were
cited to support this positiod.
Mr. Sohier urged that the cases referred to
by General Butler were not to the point, and
. read from the statutes, with the object OF
showing that condoned offence did not pre-
vent elimination OF the Other party Tor Slml-
lar misdemeanor.
Chief Justice Morton stated that If forced to
rule on the point he should decide that, if Mr..
Cumming condoned the unfaithfulness of his
wife, it was virtually full forgiveness and
pardon of that offence, If such should be estab-
iished by testimony. The matter could not af-
terward be brought up as ground of recrimi-
nation. The point being crucial, it was of no
object to take further testimony until it was
decided. At the suggestion OF the court and
with the consent of counsel, the full bench,
which sits in November, will decide whether
conformation by the libellee of the offence Of
the libellant would destroy3 the libellee's plea
and render his defence nugatory. IT the decis-
ion if affirmative Mrs. Cummings divorce will
doubtless be granted; otherwise the case will
be continued.

AMONG THE ICE.
Thrilling Experiences of Allan
Line Steamers.
ARRIVAL OF THE PRUsSIAN AT
ST. JOHNS, N. F.

ST. JOHN, N. f May 19.-The British
schooner Chebucto has arrived from st. Paups
island. She reports speaking the steamship
Peruvian Saturday last completely disabled,
with propeller gone. The steamship is firmly
embedded in heavy mass of foe ice and quite
helpless. All the passengers and ships COM
pany arc we'll and the hull of the steamer has
sustained no serious damage Her position is
about six miles eastward of st. PauPs island.
The Chebucto saw the Peruvian again We'd

terially altered. The chief danger that now
menaces her ls westerly gale which would
drive her Gown on the perilous coast OF Cane

her rescue but is feared that she will prove OF
little service as she dares not come in contact
with the heavy foe ice that encompasses the
Peruvian.
The steamer PrussiaD of the Allan line from
Liverpool via Queenstown, arrived at st.

rious disaster at 1.30 o clock Wednesday after
noon in latitude 45, longitude At. During a
dense fog she struck an iceberg, carrying away
her figure head, portion of the head gear and
badly shattering the bowsprit. The shock was
severely felt but there was no excitement. the

steaming slow at the time, otherwise the con-
sequence must have been disastrous Two
children belonging to steerage passengers died
of measles during the voyage. Another case
is reported but is likely to recover. The Prus-
sian leaves this evening for Halifax.

RAILROAD NOTES.
st. John 81 Maine.

Representatives of the all-rail line between
st. John and Boston held meeting at St.
John, Wednesday 1t was understood by rep
resentations of the representative of the St.
John and Maine railroad, who has recently re-
turned from England, where he has recently
visited and conferred with the English bond
holders of that road, that the proposed railroad
bridge across the ST. John river at st. John is
likely to be realized in the near future, and it
is also understood that the bridge will probably
be provided for by the st. John 81 Maine peo-
ple. backed by the Dominion government.
Such conclusion would be natural in the
matter, and the bridge ought to originate In
this way. The benefits, should the bridge be
built, would be large for the line and for that
section of the country especially, and lively IN
terest is taken in the matter there. The mem
bers of the all rail line east of Portland are the
Maine Central, European and North Ameri-
can and st. John & Maine lines, and the Eas-
tern railroad is the Boston outlet.
Minor Notes.
The refrigerator cars run ON the Maine Cen
tral during the summer months, were replaced
on the freight trains of Tuesday and Thursday
this week, for the season between. Bangor and
Boston.
The Ogdnsburg & Lake Champlain Co.
have just received ten Tiffany refrigerator
cars which will be used on special butter trains
this summer. A neat folder and map with
general information relating TO the Adiron-
dack Mountains and the leading summer re-
sorts, has also recently been issued by the Og-
densburg railroad.
The differences between the st. Johnsbury
& Lake Champlain Railroad Co. and the Cen
tral Vermont and Vermont Sc Canada roads,
relative to the alleged unfairness of rates
charged for running over the first named cor
poration's line from Rouse's Point to Swanton,
have been satisfactorily adjusted. The matter
was referred to a board consisting of Thomas
Russell and e. w. Kinsley, Railroad Commits
sioners of Mass, and FL. M. Witter of Wor-
cester, and the st. Johnsbury.and Lake Cham
plain has accepted the decision of a majority
Of the referees, Messrs Russell and Ki1sley,
which is that the arbitrary" be reduced from
ninety cents per ton, as fixed by former
award, to thirty cents. This reduction will be
of mutual advantage to the Ogdensburg and
Lake Champlain railroad, in connection with
its through traffic both via lake and rail.

The State of Maine has lost one of its most
distinguished sons, and the United States its
largest and most successful ship owner, in the
death Of Edward o. 'Brien of Thomaston. The
history OF this remarkable man, whose last
days were spent in adding to the fame Of
American commerce and in deeds of unosten-
tatious but far-reaching philanthropy, is a
bright example to the youth of our country.
Mr. O'Brien deserves to be remembered in
Virginia. He was one of those enterprising
New Englanders who,more than quarter OF q
century ago, appreciated her resources and
assisted in developing them. And, while true
to his home in the days which tried mems
souls, his friendships formed in the Old Do
minion before the war secured us his sympa-
thy in our sorrows. He was great believer
in the future of Norfolk, and the o Brien feet,
floating the stars and stripes amid the foreign
flags which have crowded our wharves during
the cotton season, was always sight to inspr Q
pride of couatry and gladden. the hearts of "a
triotic Americans. Associated SO intimately
with our commerce, it seemed most appropri-
ate that one of his grand fleet should now be
in our harbor to half-mast her flag to tell our
people of the great loss the world of commerce
had sustained-Norfolk, Va, Review.

Good Carriages.

At recent convention of carriage men in
a Western State it was noticed that of the car
riages and coupes in attendance nearly Z Of
them bore the plates of being made in New
Haven, Conn. This "City of Elms,'' which
Mr. Hubbard has appropriately called the
"Pearl of New England" contains 500 N anu
featuring establishments in active operation,
and for this and all other business purposes is
most fortunately situated. Within two hours
of New York, 20 trains day each way, 5
hours of Philadelphia and Boston, there is no
spot which is SO easy of access. Among its
manufacturers there is none more deserving of
mention than that of Henry Killam 81 Co.,
who make a speciality of tie finest class of
family carriages. They use the highest grade
of material ard labor, and great saving can
be made by ordering direct from this old estab-
lished house. Their productions consist en-
tirely of Landaus, Landanlettes, Coaches,
Coupes and Broughsms of the latest styles and
are unsurpassed in beauty and elegance in all
their appointments by anything in the whole
world. The firm guarantee their work fully
equal to anything in the market; their name

of wealth cannot go amiss in buying their car

NEW HAVEN, May 19.-"It would not be
strange" said Lawyer Case this forenoon, be-
fere the opening of the ocurt "if when the
state rested we should agree 10 submit the case
to the jury without putting a witness for
the defence"
Deputy Sheriff Peck was called by Mr.. Doo-
little, who said in answer to an objection by
the defence that he wanted to show that this
girl voluntarily made confession and that it
could be properly introduced in the case. He
added, 81 want to show all that was done with
reference to this girl so that Your Honor can
datermne whether it was a voluntary act to
show that she acted upon the advice of her
friends Riley and the girl Sadie Monroe whom
she knew longer than she did anvone in Con-
necticut. l want to show all the intlueuce
brought to bear on her and want TO know
what connection she had with Riley" Mr..
Peck testified that Riley told Blanche it was
best for her to tell all that she knew and 10
cut loose from the Malleys. The interview
lasted half to three-quarters of an hour and
Riley advised her to discharge her counsel and
have nothing more to do with him.
There was no argument upon the question OF
admitting the confession of Blanche Douglass
clined to allow its admission. There was no
doubt, he said, the girl was induced to tell the
story from influence brought to bear upon her.
In this confession Blanche stated the two NAL
ley's with herself and Jennie Cramer passed
the night in the same house, and that duriug
the night James took Jennie by force from the
bed she was occupying with her into another
room where he made her remain with hin
during the night.
