QUEENSTOWN, July 2S.-The body
of Capt. Webb was found floating in
the river short distance below Lew
iston, N. Y, this afternoon. An in
quest was held this afternoon and
verdict of found drowned returned.

a ragged cut was discovered on the
top of the head about three inches in

expose the skull. 1t had the appear
ance of being cut by a rock or
other hard substance, and is supposed

body was coffined and removed in a

The Pavilion.

One of the most exciting skating
contests that has ever taken place in
Butte came off last evening at the
Pavilion. The contestants were the
noy Louis Schultz and MIR. Hugh
Wright. Purse, $50 a side; distance,
10 miles. The boy had beaten Wright
in one mile and in a five mile race
but as Wright had proved victor in a
three hours run with him it was sup
posed by many that the long distance
would tell on the kid and give
Wright the race. Schultz was the ia
vorite at the start, although Wright
had many hackers to the extent of
their means. Wright gained the toss
and took the inside. Up to the
Sth mile each passed and re-
pas led the other a dozen times
Cheers, shouts. and waving of hats
and hapdkerchiefs greeted the ono as
he passed the other. Up to this point
the boy had played with Wright as a
cat with q mouse. He would skate
backwards for a time and then gath
ering himself up would fly like the
wind around the track. As the
skaters entered the last half Of the
ninth mile Wright was nearly three
quarters Of a lap ahead and both
skaters seemed to be doing their best.
At this juncture one of the boys
parents who was present cried
out, "Get there, Louie, my
on!n and in obedience to
the command he shot out like a
ball from a cannon's mouth. The
vast assemblage present uttered cheer
upon cheer as the boy gained upon
his now thoroughly aroused oppo-
nent. In three or four laps he had
oyertaken him and for q full lap
they raced side by side, and as they
entered the tenth mile the KID
shot by his opponent, having vii 7;
fairly ran him off his feet. This
seemed to break Wright up, and
white as sheet he turned from the
track into the dressing room and
Welded up the race. Young Schultz
skated the tenth mile at his leisure,
and took the race and purse. Time,

Our Sunday School 7 eacher
Joshua 8; 3O-35.)

JOSnua o; oU-0O.
The topic of the lesson to day is
"The Reading of the Law" The
sin of Achan having been entirely
put away, the Lord once more dwells
with his people, and when they again
attack All they gain signal victory.
Immediately afterwards they direct
their march to Gilgal obediently to
the command given by Moses (Deat.
11:29) and from thence to the valley
lying between Mts. Ebal and Geri-
zim, whose 'ops were about mile
apart and three hundred feet high,
and whose acoustic properties are
such that persons on the one noun
tain can readily hear words uttered
on the other. Modern travellers have
testified to this fact.
The place was a beautiful natural
amphitheater specially adapted to
this national service. On Mount
Ebal, Joshua builded an altar, and Of
fered the sacrifices of burnt and peace
offerings, the first as an atonement
for sin, the second as q thank Offer
ing to God. After the sacrifice the
people were divided into two bands,
including the women and children,
and arranged them so that half of
them stood on the slope of Mt. Ebal,
facing the other half, who stood on
Mt. Gerizim, and the ark of the Lord
and the Priests and Elders in the
valley between them. Joshua caused
all of the law to be read, 1.-The blessings
and the cursings," and to each of
the blessings and cursings, as they
were read, the people responded with
a loud "Amen" as thereby acknowl-
edging their justice. The topics sug-
gested are as follows: In the very be-
ginning of their work of taking the
promised land, they stopped in their
work of con quest to attend to their
religious duties. We should never al
low other duties to crowd out our wor-
ship of God. Joshua recognized re-
ligion to be paramount duty, and
realized that the altar was the ma
tion's best defence and bulwark. In
that wonderful assembly, the grandest
which is anywhere described on the
pages of history, the people adopted
a platform, which recognizes and ex-
ats God. That all the people should
be taught the knowledge of Gods
will, should foster the worship of, and
accept and reverence the word of God.
The secret of national prosperity is
disclosed. ''Happy is the nation
whose God is the Lord" The cause
of their ruin is revealed. 1.-THE ma.
ton which will not serve God shall
perish. God sets before us two ways,
life or death, blessing or cursing.
Free agency is here asserted; we can
choose which way we will 60, but
our attitude towards God will deter
mine what our condition will be.
"Choose ye this day whom We will
serve. If the Lord be God, follow
him. If Baal, then follow him."
