An unusual scene was presented in
the Central municipal court at Boston
last Thursday, when Rev. DIR. A. j..
Gordon, pastor of the Clarendon street
Baptist church, Rev. III. l.. Hastings,
publisher of the Christian, a religious
weekly, Rev. w. F. Davis and others,
were arraigned on charge of disturbing
the peace, and violating the city Ordi-
nance which says that no person shall
deliver "A sermon, address or discourse
on the common or other public grounds,
without permit from the city govern
ment. The arrests were made on ac-
count iOf services held the previous
Sunday on the common by the Young
Mems Christian Association. DR.. Cor
don, Mr.. Hastings, Mr.. Davis and four
others, were found guilty and fined
80 each. They appealed and were
each held in 800 for trial at the supe-
rior court in June, when they propose
to fully test the cOnstitutiOnality of
their right TO hold such services on the
common. The association has planned
its summer work, which includes open
air preaching on the common and 9th
er places, and will be carried out I'M
less the authorities interfere. 1t was
understood that VIM. DOOgue, super
intendent of the common, melted the
complaints.

SENATOR EDMUNDS GOING TO ENG
LAND.
Senator Edmunds has been suddenly
and unexpectedly summoned to Eng
land, to testify as an expert on some
points of American law, in a case
pending before the British House OF
Lords. He has accordingly made a
cOrrespOndingly sudden change in his
plans for the summer, and expects to
sail for England next Saturday. Mrs.
will accompany him; and after per-
forming the special duty which calls
him abroad, the Senator with his fam

turning home about the middle of

CINCINNATI FIRE.-SEVEETEEN KILLED.
Dense clouds of smoke were discov-
cred issuing from the rear windows of
the building No. 10 on West 9th street,
Cincinnati, about I.30 O'Clock Thurs
day afternoon. The alarm brought the
engines almost Immediately and it was
not fifteen minutes before the fire was
so much under control that the engi-
neer was able to reach the fifth or top
floors. 1t was at first thought that
only five women who jumped from a
fifth story window were killed; but
the engineer found ten dead bodies w.
ing with hands to their faces, and faces
blackened and distorted in death. One
man, after saving the lives of two wO-
men by letting down rope from the
roof, was himself killed by the burning
of the same before he reached the
ground. The fire was caused by the
explosion of a gasoline stove on the
second floor. The flames entered the
elevator shaft, which is next to the
stairway, and all chance of escape was
then cut off. The killed are mostly
employees of the dye works, which oc-
cupied a portion of the building.
A Portland and Ogdensburg passen-
ger train ran off the track about mile
east of Bethlehem Junction last week.
The engine and tender plunged down
a 20-fOOt embankment into the Am
manOOsuc river and were made total
wreck. The engineer and fireman
went into the river with the engine,
but crawled out, suffering only few
bruises. No others were injured. The
cause of the accident is unknown.

Public Opinion.
FAIRLY WON,

FAlRI1 WON.
The senatorship from Illinois is JOIN
Logan's, and it was fairly won. His
campaign has cOntrasted faVOrablN
with that of the democrats from the
first, and the capture of the one vote
needed, by a surprise attack on the
democratic district, gave him the COW
eted honor. General Logan is not an
ideal senator in many ways, but he is an
honest man and brave one, and is bet
ter fitted for n seat in the Senate than
are many of the mOney-bags that occu-
Ply them Boston Herald.

GREAT BLUNDER.
The confidential circular of Post
master General Villas is so gross a
blunder, both as a matter of policy and
principle, that President Cleveland can
do no less than sit down on it. The
plan of Mr.. Villas is a reversion to the
bOldest and most brutal expression of
the "spoils system" 1t makes the
party congressman the party almoner.
1t is ringing box on the ear to the
young genius of civil service reform.
1t is in direct violation and contempt

dent Rutland Herald.

Revision of the Old Testament.

After fourteen years Of assiduous la
Dor the revised Bible is given to the
world. On the inside pages we give
some illustrations of changes made
in the Old Testament text, but very
few will ever know and fewer still ap-
preciate the labor Of these fourteen
years. Whatever may be the belief as
to the necessity or ACCESSIBILITY of the
revision, the labor of the committee
should receive the commentator and
thanks of every one.
The authorized version of the Bible
was issued in 1911. That in the go
years that have elapsed since, educa-
ton and research and discoveries of
ancient manuscripts, etc, should have
added much To the knowledge of the
surroundings and circumstances affect
ing in some degree the early Scrip
lures, is not strange. Time will prove,
if it has not already been proven, that
the action of the learned men of Eng
land and America in giving the world
"a more literal and correct rendering of
the original word of God, was done
none too soon.
The proposition to revise the Bible
originated with English divines, but
in both the work upon the New and
Old Testament there were associated
with them some of the best American
scholars. The New Testament revis-
ion was given to the public four years
ago. The fifteen American scholars
who were members of the Old Tesla
ment committee were chosen from a
locality that admitted of monthly
meetings and their names and denOmi-
national connection are given below:
Prof Charles A. Aiken, d. D.,
Princeton, n. j. (Presbyterian.)
Rev. T. w. Chambers, d. D., New
York (Reformed.)
Prof Thomas j. COnant, d. D.,
Brooklyn, n. Y. (Baptist.)
Prof. George Z. Day, ID. D., Divini
ty School of Yale College (COngrega-
tionalist.)
Prof. John De Witt, D. D., New
Brunswick, n. j. (Reformed.)
Prof. William Henry Green, d. D.,

Prof. George Emlen Hare, d. D.,

Prof. Charles p. Krauth, ID. d., Uni
versity of Pennsylvania (Lutheran.)

Prof. Howard OsgOod, d. D., Roch

Prof. Joseph Packard, ID. D., Alex
andria, Va. (EpiscOpalian.)
Prot. Calvin E. Stowe, ID. d., Hart
ford, Conn. (Congregationalist.)
Prof. James Strong, 5. T. D., Madi
son, n. j. (Methodist.)
Prof. Tayler Lewis, Ii. D., Union
College, Schenectady, n. Y.
Prof. c. V. A. Van Dyck, ID. D.,
Beirut, Syria advisory member on
questions of Arabic.)
Prof. Lewis died in 1877, DR.. Krauth
died in 1888, DR.. Stowe was obliged to
resign on account of impaired health.
AS intimated as above the work of
the revision required the highest
scholarship, the most diligent research
and the adaptation to this special mat
ter of all the helps derived from per-
sonal study of the Holy Land and the
recent explorations in Assyria and
Egypt. Whatever may be the judg-
ment rendered on their work, the com
mittee must have the credit of long,
faithful and patient service, and that
too without fee or hope of reward.

cause it was shown that he was once in

The article on England and Russia,

evidence which contained these SEN
fences:

spend my days with you than any 9TH
