The most accurate estimate thai

upon the following figures, obtained
by Banner reporter yesterday.
The figures given include only the
accessions for yesterday and Sat

McKendree, so; First Baptist, 40;
Elm street, AZ; First Cumb erland
Presbyterian, 40; Central Baptist,
10; -Church-street Christian, %;
other city churches, $50; country
churches, 40; total, 400. This adj
ded to previous estimates places
the number of accessions, as the
result of the Jones meeting in the
aggregate, at about LOCO, and it is
thought that fully 500 are yet to
be received into the churches.

The incubation theory of DIR.
Ferran, as a preventative of chol era,
seems to be proving a great success
as a saving Of fatal results. A ma
jority of the doctors were opposed
to him in every way, denouncing
him as an enthusiastic and an un-
balanced crank but the results of
his work show the value Of his sys-
TEN. or 5000 persons inoculated in
his district, but seven had cholera,
and these were attacked before the
incubation had time TO take eject.
Among the inoculated cases, the re
port shows one case to ea.ch ITO;
those not so, one TO each IS5. The
death rate was one 10 each 353
among the uninocul1ted, and no
deaths among those inocuiated. 1t
would look as though in this dis
trict at least the system was a sue
cess. How it will prove in other
places, and in an epidemic, time
will show, but it certainly seems as
though tt very great discovery has
been made.-UniOn.
