GENERAL NEWS.
Anxious to Convert Colonel
Bob 1ngersoll.
Gladstone Troubled With q Sore
Throat---Threats to Kill the
Princess Beatrice.

New YoRK, July PA meeting was held
to-day iu Holy Trinity Church to complete
| the arrangements for what, according to
expectation, will be the greatest revival of
| religion ever seen in in America. The en-.
terprise is within the Protestant Episco-
cOpal Church, where revival methods have
hitherto been unknown and generally dis
approved. To-day's conference was the
last before the dispersal Of the interested
clergy1nen and others for their summer
recreation.
On October 18th they will 20 to Garrison i
up the Hudson, to prepare themselves by
meditation, prayer and instruction for the
work which they vii immed ately there's
ter undertake. Ten evangelists will be
brought over from England, including the
celebrated Capel Cure aud Cannon Furse
All are Church Of England clergsmen and
experienced in nexhortation, Three of them
will act as teachers during the retreat at
Garrison's, and the rest will arrive in Oc-
tober. For the sake of familiIizing them
selves with American audiences they will
scatter through neighboring cities to hold
short missions.
The services in New York will begin stimuli
taneously in thirteen churches on the
Saturday after Thanksgiving. Assistant
Bishop Potter is at the head OF this singular
movement, and majority Of the Episcopal
clergy are thoroughly aroused, but there il
strong opposition, nevertheless, by those
wealthy and fashionable people who have
SO long regarded Episcopalianism as some
thing too exclusive to be freely opened to
the masses. While rector of Grace Church
Potter offended some Of his parishioners by
sermons in which he declared that the rich
were not doing their duty to the poor.
The projected revival is planned by him
especially to bring working people into the
church. He thinks that the Episcopal de-
nomination can be made the most popular
in existence, and next winters work is in
tended to accomplish that end.
Episcopalianism in New York is already
in turmoil of expectation. 1t isremarked
that the scheme has had no countenancel
from Trinity Church. (The Holy Trinity
mentioned above is different establish
ment.) Although invited to import an;
evangelist, as ten other churches have
agreed to do, Trinity has refused to spend 1
any of it's enormous income for that pur-I
pose, and none of it's nine rectors and
curates has taken any part in the prelim-;
inaries.
The wealthiest and most pretentious of
New.York families, including the Astors, I
are potent in the management OF Trinity, 4
and they do not look with favor upon the 4
popularization of their denomination. The 4
Astors have especially taken that ground.
How much of hindrance this opposition
will make remains to be seen. Rector Dix,
OF Trinity son OF the late General John
A. Dix, is pronounced enemy OF the
revivalistic devices which are to be eni-
ployed. 49,.

on the opening of the central criminal court

the GaZette'S statement, on the ground h.

his information by drinking champagne, and
spending money in brothelS Mr.. Stead then
offered to call the Lily as a witness, but
Justice Loper declined the offer. His honor
likewise declined the evidence of archbishop
of Canterbury.
Mr.. Stead admitted that he might have been
muddlpd somewhat as to the statements of

Mr.. Stead over his alleged simplicity, and said
that Eliza had been taken distance of 800
miles in single night, by d man who was her
only companion, Mr.. Stead said he had en-
truS ed the details of the affair to Mr.. Brom-
well Booth.

AT CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, November 3.-The election here
and i'll the county to-day, is for justice OF the
supreme court of Illinois, judge of the SUI
perior court of Cook coun y. The republicans
nominated Benj d. Magruder for the supreme
court. The democrats concurred in the nOmi-
nation. The republicans presented Gwynn
Garnett for the superior court, and the demo-
Gratis VIM. j. Hynes. Both parties present
their own candidate for commits >iOner, Owing
to the failure of a portion of the republican
press to support all tn. republican nominees,
a split ticket has been printed and offered to
the voters, containing the names OF a portion
OF the nominees OF each party. The chief con-
test is over the adoption or rejection of the
new election law, framed at the last session OF
the legislature. The new law provides for
small voting precincts, and is framed very
closely after the New York laws. The repub-
lican5 and Independents favor new law
While the democrats are opposing tJS adopt
ion.
The weather is clear and cold, and there is
promise of a full average vote.
SITUATION AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, November 3.-Appearances al
different polling places here to-day indicated
that the vote would be lighter than usual. As
yet no official figures have been recei' ed. The
best information to be had from various sources
leads to the belief that the election law is car
ried The polls did not close until O'Clock
which will delay until a late hour the receipt
of adequate returns upon which to base a con
cluSiOn as to the result.

WORTH 300, 900.
Sale of an Old Spanish LAND Grant.


The following piece uf information
is taken from the Houston cores
pondence of the Galveston News:
Major Joe II. Stewart, cf Austin, has
just located and filed land certificates
upon what is known as the Victor
Blanco, or Lorenzo de Zavalla (ssu
siRnee), five league grant. This is one
OF the Oldest Spanish grants in Harris
county. It is about ten miles north
east of Houston, and now has upon 1t
number of farmers, ranchers, mill
men and persons following a variety
of pursuits for livelihood. Recently
an English syndicate bought about
fifteen thousand acrerS of the grant
and paid So per acre for the Zavllla
title. Major Stewart says that while
there may be doubts about other
claims he has no doubt about the valid
ltv of his location. He also says the
original title to the land is not in the
land office at Austin, and the county
map shows it, and that If this were
vacant public domain it would seem
remarkable that the grant was not
located. There are about $1,000 acres
of land in the tract, and il is repre-
sented as being worth 100000 or up
ward.
