unity OF the, .sork In which the
Saints were engaged. the elder said
the evidences were everyw here to

that the gospel carries with

houest-hesrted person who accepts
the message will receive the Holy

him that what he has accepted is

PRESIDENT GEORGE Q CANNON
Spoke briefly in the same strain as
Elder Nicholson. He said the doc
trina OF the pre- existence of the
spirit should be understood by every
Latter>day Saint, for by a correct
understanding of that msny things
that were mysterious could be ex
pain ed. 1t seemed strange to him
that the Christie rs who believe In
Jesus and his pre~ex!s's nee could
net believe 70 II g IRE existei c. of
all spirits, Tor if he C Gator OF the
world coui! descend from his high es.
tate and be born o1 the Virgin Mary,
why csnnot man he born i'm the
same manner? 1t was tellsved that
Christ was CID before he came to
earth, yet here he wa so nearly
like other men in appearance that
the Hebrews could not discover in
him the Godhead. All things were
created spiritually before mate
rally. He said in reference to the
doctrine Of foreknowledge that man
confounded it with predestination,
whereas it was entirely different.
The parent ordinarily has fore
X owledge of what his CHI Id will do
in the future, but it does not affect
the course Of The child; 80 with God,
who has fOreknowledge of every
thing, but it does not follow that he
compels men to act in a special
manner.
At the conclusion OF Preident
CannOn's remarks, the choir sang

nounced the bepediction.

ALMOST A HOLOCAUST.
A Mother and Her Imbecile Child Badly
Burned in Their Bed.

Shrieks of ''Help! Fire." rang out on the air
early on a recent morning from Boston two
story wooden house, occupied by Mrs. Hannah
Norton and her deformed daughter. A patrol
man, who was in the vicinity, heard the cry,
and seeing smoke issuing from the building,
while the cries were repeated more agonizing
ly than before, he pulled an alarm. 1t
was then 2.l0 o'clock and everybody was in
bed in the neighborhood but in a very few mo-
ments the apparatus began to arrive and was
on the scene almost as soon as the pa
trolman had returned to the scene ofconhagra-
ton. BY this time the flames had made con-
siderable Roadway, and while the department
was drawing up and before the iremen were
really aware Of the danger that threatened the
inmates, the woman, leading the deformed
and imbecile girl, rushed madly out of the
building with wild and frightened looks. The
woman is terribly burned about the head, face
and breast, and it is feared that she inhaled
the flame, which would make her condition all
the more critical. The imbecile girl is badly
burned upon the neck and left arm, but not
nearly as bad as the mother. The injured wo-
men were taken into a neighbours house and an
ambulance summoned, in which they were re-
moved to the hospital The origin of the fire

decision of considerable interest to the
travelling public has just been rendered by the
Mass. Supreme Court. May % 1880, Albert
l. Murdoch went to the ticket office oil the
Boston & Albany road at North Adams and
asked for ticket from that place to SPRING
field. The ticket seller gave him two tickets,
one from North Adams to Chester, and the
other, which was punched twice, that he said
was good Tor the remainder of the journey.
Mr.. Murdock asked particularly about the tick
cts ard was assured by the ticket seller that he
would find them good for the journey. The
seller said that the punched ticket was returned
10 him by man the day before who had used
1t for only part of the way for which it was
good.
every WELL" replied Mr.. Murdoch, call
that want is good ticket"
He thereupon boarded his train and gave the
conductor first the ticket from North Adams to
Chester, which was accepted When, however,
he rendered tho punched ticket for the remain
der of the journey the conductor declined to
accept it, saying it was no good. Mr.. Murdoch
protested that he had bought it in good faith,
and asked the conductor to telegraph to the
ticket agent at North Adams and ascertain the
facts. This the conductor refused to do, and
insisted that the fare, ~ CENTS should be PAID
Upon Mr.. Murdock's persisting in his refusal,
the conductor elected him from the car at
Pittsfeld and handed him over to a police
man, who put HIM in the lookup and detained
him over night. In the morning he was re-
leased, no charge being preferred against him
by the company. The North Adams ticket
seller subsequently sent an apology to Mr..
Murdoch for his blunder, This gentleman,
however, thought that he was entitled to some
thing more substantial than an apology, and
brought suit against the company for damages.
The jury gave him verdict for $4,000. Judge
Soule, counsel for the road, asked the court to
rule that the conductor had right to act as
he did since the ticket profered by Mr. Muir
dock was not good. The mistake OF the
ticket seller he claimed was something
that the conductor was not responsible for.
The court declined so to rule, but instructed
the jury that if Mr.. Murdoch exercised reason
able care in the purchase of his ticket and
b,ught it in good faith, he was entitled to re-
cover. The defendant appealed to the supreme
court, and this tribunal has overruled the eX-
ceptions sustaining the ruling of tho lower
court. This settles the fact that a railroad
company must be responsible for the negligence

work with the HunsaI iaus.
Ex-Moyor powderly OF Scranton, Pa, gen
eral master workman of the knights Of Labor
who had just returned from trip 10 the Con-
nellsvile coke region, says that J e never be-
heved such degradation possible as he has Wit
ne ssed among the Hung lrians in that portion
of Pennsylvania. The condition of the women
who worked at and around the glowing fur
naces doing tasks that would try the stoutest
men, he described as being most lamenta lie
and surprising in grim realism anything he had
ever heard or read on the subject. He says:
81 had often heard of the employment of
women at the coke ovens, but never had an
opportunity of seeing it before. The women
are not employed by the corporations, as
some persons suppose, but they accompany
their husbands and fathers to the ovens
early in the morning and assist in
drawing and forking coke. At o'clock in
the morning l went TO the coke works, and
there | saw that the stories / had heard about
this matter were not exaggerated. AT one OF
the ovens | saw q woman half-naked drawing
the hot coke from the chamber. She had no
covering on her head, and very little on her
person. Her appearance was that OF one
whose spirit had been broken by hardship
and hard work. Her attire consisted Of II
coarse chemise and a pair of cowhide boots.
woman forking the coke as it came to the
car. Forking is the term used to indicate the
disposition of the coke when it is thrown into
the car. The person who does the forking
throws the coal to either end of the car, as it is
wheeled in. The woman stood in the door
way, and was dressed in a rough, loose-ftting
outer garment and an apron. Her person from
the waist up was exposed. When she stopped
over to handle the coke, she ca ght her hair
hot hon, on41, ,rI,. to nt
her way. Her feet were incased in pair OF
heavy shoes, and her legs were exposed from
the knees down. Her babe which she
brought to the works with her, lay in front
of the car, with scarcely any covering except
the shadow of wheelbarrow, which was
turned up in order to protect the child fir IN
the rays of the sun. Many more such scenes
met my view, and some Of them were even
worse than this. The opposition to the Hun
garians amounts to hatred which is liable at
any time to burst forth into q blaze that may
sweep them entirely out of that country"

The Chief Officer of the Steamship to
Blame for the Calamity.
AT the Glasgow inquiry the court has found
that the State of Florida arrangements f or low
ering boats we're satisfactory; that the order to
lower boats was promptly given; that only
three boeis were capable of being lowered be-
cause the Florida was going at the rate Of eight
knots an hour; that the passengers, and even
some of the crew, hesitated to enter the boats
owing to the great speed at which the steamer
was going, and hence the great loss Of life. 1t
was found by the court that Capt. Sadlicr did
his duty TO the last; that tina second third
mates also performed their duty; that the Po-
nema was navigated with proper, seamanlike
care, but that the Florida was not, and that
Thomson, the chief officer of the State of FloIi-
da, was to blame for the calamity The court
advised the suspension of Thomson's certificate
as a master for six months, he meanwhile to be
allowed mates certificate.

A LIGHTNING ARRESTOR.
New Invention to Protect Telegraph
Lines from Extraordinary Currents.

new lhVenU1On To PfOteCt Telegraph
Lines from Extraordinary Currents.
In Philadelphia successful trial has been
made of new lightning arrestor invented by
Mr.. John Griffin, employed by the Baltimore
& Ohio Telegraph Company. The new in
strument consists of two discs, one at each
end of a steel axis, and q number of fine steel
wires extending between them. One of the
wires rests against small steel posts, in which
the cable and land wires end, and forms the
connecting Ink between them. When the
lightning strikes the land wire it makes its
way toward the cable and is conducted through
the steel posts to the fine wire on the arrestor.
The wire is too small to bear anything but a
normal amount and melts at once, breaking the
connection and allowing the heavy current to
be diffused. A spring Immediately brings INTO
position another small wire, so that messages
will not be interrupted. 1t is intended to at
tach them to telephones and telegraph instru-
ments to prevent danger from any extaordn-
airy currents and in a few days the telegraph
company will place the instrument on st, eral
important cable crossings
