Nothing could BIO more sad than the fate
OF twenty nine miners who were shut up
by The eaying in Of coal mine at Nanti-
coke. Pa, last week, As soon as the ae-
cident occurred the work OF rescue com :
menced and The rubbish was removed SO
far that signals from the imprisoned men
were heard. when there was another fall OF
earth which stopped work for time and
rendered the rescue hopeless. There is a
bare possibility that they may be reached

been shut up since Friday without food
or fresh air il viii be seen that there is
little chance for them.

sergeant assaulted and accomplished her

surrounding the crime 50 graphically that

II
lowing Impressive language;
The prisoner, David Fl. Crowley" the
Recorder began, twas q public officer, in.
trusted BY the people of this city with q high
and important position, that of Sergeant Of
Police. He was clothed with the power and
majesty of the law. 1t was the duty Of the
court and the citizens to uphold him. Ii
was eminently bis duty to protect the lives
OF citizens, and especially those of unpro-
tected women, which he seemed to make
his least duty. On that unfortunate Satur-
day he left his family and visited one low
place and another, drinking at each until
Sunday morning advanced. He knew he
was violating his oath as an officer q refer
TO the Excise law6, and should have ordered
the saloons closed. The fact that he was
under the influence of liquor is no psllis-
ton whatever, as he was police officer. 1t
is necessary to take into consideration all
of these things, which will make the sen.
tence of the court severe, indeed. The sen.
tence, therefore, Is that you, David n.
Crowley, be confined in the penitentisry at
Sing Sing at hard labor for the term Of sew
enteen years and six months"
The unfortunate one was the only help of
widowed mother. She bore a reputation
for virtue above suspicion, and a girlish
modesty and innocence that made her the
easier prey for a bold rufIianly villain who
was ignorant enough to suppose his official
position afforded him positive protection
against any harm coming to him.
Apparently he never dreamed his ofense
was all the greater because it was his duty
to protect instead Of assaulting the limo
cent.
No trial for long while has probably
caused such local interest. Here's the way
q Mail and Express reporter tells Of his
visit to Msggie'e home, after the verdict.
A Gefmsn band of fourteen pieces was
reeling out The Watch on the Rhine in
front of Miss Maggie Morris residence this
morning, when Nail and Express reporter
assembled the rickety stairs that lead to the
rooms occupied By the Morris family.
How DO you DO today said pleasant
voice as the reporter entered the room.
You see l AN at work already. This is
washday with me. Come in" And sure
enough the heroine of the past two weeks
was bending over washtub, while great
soap bubbles cleaned in the sunlight that
came in from the window and made apretty,
if homely, picture.
81 did not know what the verdict was
until this morning" she said, looking down
bashfully. "But suppose the jury did
what was right.
ut was not a surprise to you, then, in
any wayY
"Oh, no" she answered sadly"
g What will you do nowH'
~ don't know yet. l may go in the
country with lady who has offered me a
position in her family. but can't tell pos
iuytly. l will try aud get something to do

an answer" If others do not understand
his figures better than | do he will have to
rise and explain or keep on pausing. If
the levy for roads last year was $50, piss
as he says, the county districts paid all OF
it, as there is no levy for roads made or
collected in the city. The country
districts also pay the same
amount of State and county
tax upon their assessment as the city.
They help to pay the appropriations tor
railroads, for court house and Jail and for
the county infrmsry, the city furnishing
uinetenths of the inmates. They also help
to pay Uncle j. W. B. 8 salary as commits
sioner of the county. and those commission
ers who oppose the appropriation for roads
would kick ike mules if the country dis
tricts would try to separate from the city
and form q county organization Of their

The committee of learned English and
American theolOgians appointed in 1870
for the revision Of the Bible have at last
completed their work. The new Old les
lament will be given TO the American pub
lie on Thursday The people are snxiously
waiting. kilograms have been received
stating some of the important changes.
Learned diyines in various parts OF the
country hayealready begun discussing these
changes and their probable reception oy
Christian people The revisers have had
access to the best sources of information
possible for their work They have adhered
as closely as possible to the old version.
The language has been changed in some
places, the division into chapters and verses
have been omitted, and in some passages q
different meaning given; but the great
truths Of the Bible remain uual
tered. How will the public
receive this new version? About the same
as the other great versions have been re.
ceived. Men want to get at the truth in
anything that has to do with their religious
belief In seeking this truth some Chris
tians hold to everything that Is old with a
worshiptul reverance, aud believe even the
punctuation Of the scriptures inspired and
not to be changed; some go to the other ex-
treme and believe in accepting everything
new. 1t was fifty years before King
JANEss Bible was generally accepted by the
people. The Genevan version had q similar
struggle for public approval. In each case
there was the struggle between the two ex-
tremes, resulting at last in bringing men
nearer the real teachings Of the Bible. So
will it be with the new revision. Christians
will examine, critics viii criticise, and Its
merits and dement's win be duly set forth.
Public opinion viii at last properly estimate
the ability Of the reyisers and the informs-
ton to which they had access, and viii &C
eept whatever Of merit there is in the new
revision.
