Crazed by Religious Excitement.

WILuAMsPoRT, Pa, October IA
case of insanity brought on by religious
excitement came to light yesterday after.
noon when VIM. II. Bastisn, a filer in the
Dodge Mills, tried to drive his fellow
workmen from the shop. Bastian for
some time has been attending the reii.
gious revivals at Newberry, and for days
his wife has noticed that he acted queer.
He has necessarily been bemoaning his
fate and praying that his sins might
be forgiven. Monday morning during
one of his fits of depression he tried to
kill his wife, but she escaped from him
and he went to work. At the mill he be
came q raving maniac, and the police
were sent for. 1t took the combined
strength of four officers to hold him. He
Is hsavily-built man and he struggled
furiously, but was at last handcuffed and
taken to Jail. b:
In Jail Bastian managed to get loose.
He tore his clothes of and ran into the
corridors naked aud howled frightfully.
He reached the door leading from the
corridor and with tremendous muscular
force tried to break it open. Sheriff
Sprague was preparing to start for
Gettysburg, but when he saw what the
matter was, he concluded to remain at
home and watch the mailman. 1t took
eight men to recapture Bastian. He was
at last overpowered, dressed and chained
to bed so that he could not move. He
was examined and removed to the Dan
vile Asylum last evening.

Tenth Annual Congress Of the Episcopal
Church of the United States.

Tenth Annual Congress Of the Episcopal
Church of the United States.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, October 15.-The
tenth annual Congress of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of the United States
will be held in this city October Goth to
Esd, in Carli's Opera-house. Much in
terest is felt in this gathering Dy men,
bers of the Episcopal Church, aud by
Christian people generally. A large num-
Der of distinguished clergymen and lay
men are to be in attendance, and are to
speak upon the many subjects marked
out for discussion. The Congress is not
a legislative body, being simply an asso-
citation for the voluntary discussion of
questions looking toward the general
good of the church and 10 Christian
progress. The writer's and speakers are
not delegates, but simply church men
high or low, or ritualist, as the case ma y
be, having single object in view. No
votes on any subject under discussion
are taken,
There will be two sessions of the Con.
gress, daily, at 1880 a. m. and at 1880
p. M. and but ten minutes are allowed
to each speaker or writer. No one can
speak twice on the same subject Bishop
John Williams, of Connecticut, will pre-
side with Rev. q. ID. Wilde, D. D., OF
New York, as General-Secretary. The
list of writer's and speakers includes
many of the most prominent clergy OF
the Episcopal Church of America.
Among the number are six or seven bish.
ops, Archdeacons Farrar and Vesey, OF
England, and several gentlemen we'll
known at the bar, on the bench, in the
army, and in private lie.

CHIEF BUsHYHEAD, of the Cherokee
Nation, called upon Secretary Lamar
at Washington, on the 18th, and had
an extended interview in regard to the
intrusion of white settlers upon the
Cherokee lands in the Indian Territory
Although the Indians have the power
to determine the status of citizens of
the Nation, yet the Department is
charged with the duty Of ejecting in
truders, and in the exercise of that
duty has assumed the right of deter
mining who are and who are not in
truders. Chief Bushyhead says that
there are a number of persons residing
in the Territory who are there under
tribal permits, and those persons he
does not wish to disturb. But there
were also many white persons in the
Territory who claim to be citizens of
the Nation and have taken up choice
lands who are not entitled to the rights
of citizenship and should be elected.
The Indians were satisfied with the
present arrangement with the cattle
men. Chief Bushyhead wished to i'm
press upon the Secretary the advisable
'ty OF allowing them to remain in pcs.

The Canadian steamer Alert re-
Gently arrived at St. Johns, New
foundlspd. from Hudson's Bay, after
stormy voyage. 1t will be remem-
bered that in the spring of last year
the Government sent out the steamer
Neptune, with n view to establishing
points of observation along the shores
of Hudson's Bay and straits. Six
points of observation were selected
and three men were placed in charge
of each station. The Alert has now
returned, after visiting the places of
observation. Lieutenant Gordon, who
was in charge, reports that he visited
Churchill Station and all other stations
where observers had been placed. He
found Stupart's Station deserted, but
learned afterwards that Stupart had
arrived at Chicho. He also reports
that Mr.. lnglis, of Halifax, one of the
station hands. died of scurvy last JAN
uary; that all the others were well.
The object of the expedition was to
ascertain whether or not navigation of
Hudson's Bay was practicable as an
ocean route for the shipment of the
products of the Northwest through that
channel.

A CURIOUS and suggestive fact abont
the Eastern question is the attitude of
King George of Greece, and to under
stand this his family relations must be
taken into account. King George is
the second son of King Christian TX,
of Denmark, and is the husband of the
Grand Duchess Olga Constantinova,
cousin of the Car of Russia. King
Christian has succeeded in placing all
of his children, save one. on present or
prospective European thrones. His
eldest son. the Crown Prince Frederick,
will become the King of Denmark; his
eldest daughter, Princess Alexandra,
is the wife of the Prince of Wales, and
will be the Queen of England; his Sec
ond son, King George, is King of the

Annual Meeting of the American Board or
M,ssions-Report of the Secretary Out
lining the Work of the Society aud Some
of Its Results for the Past Quarter of .
Century.
BosroN, MASS, October 15.-At yes
terday's meeting of the American Board
of Missions, Rev. E. K Alden, D. D.,
Home Secretary, reported that during
the quarter century just endedt, he num-
Der of ordained missionaries has de-
creased ten per cent, from 166 In 1850
to Isl in 1885. During the seyenty-five
years of existence the American Board
has sent out 500 ordained missionaries,
of whom 80 were physicians, 43 physt-
clans unorda:ned, l44 other male attend
ants, making 4 total of 76S men. Dur
ing the same period they have sent out
1850 women, 30S of whom were un-
married. total force Of 1866. This
gives as the annual average for the whole
period, about % missionaries and assist
ant missiOnaries-l0 men, 8 OF whom
were ordained, and Is women.
Rev. a. G. Clark, DID, Senior For
eign Secretary, made the following re-
port for the twenty-five years Just ended:
OF 166 missionaries on the roll In 1860,
fifty-two still remain and have rendered
an average service of thirty-four years.
Eighty whose names are starred have
served an average of twcnty-eight years,
though seven of them lived ip this cOun-
try for years after retiring from the mis-
sionary field. The remaining thirty -four,
so far as known, are still living, some in
honored old age, resting from their
tolls, and some actively engaged in the
ministry.
An interesting feature of the foreign
work during the past twenty five years is
the engagement of work for women. In
1850 there were twenty-five women con-
nected with the different missions. A
few of the wives of missionaries were at.
tempting to do something for their sex,
but no systematic work had been organ
iz"d. Now there are lO1 women with the
different missions in charge of forty SEM
inaries or engaged in field work. The
number of young men enjoying the ad-
vantages of higher Christian education
under the immediate care of cultured
women from this country amounts to
nearly LOO, while probably ten
times as many more are reached
in their homes by missionary ladies,
and by the large number OF
Bible women working under their super
vision. In twenty five years there has
been an advance in churches from los to
292; of church members from $500 to
over 90, 900; of pupils in common schools
from 8, 900 to $4,000; of native pastors
from 81 to lat, not to speak of the
growth of a large and efficient body OF
native preachers and teachers, acting as
laborers in the evangelization OF their
people.
By singular coincidence there has
been on the average five fold increase
during the twenty five years In the az
gregate of results in the following lines
of effort. In the breadth of the field,
counting towns, cities, and islands ac-
tually occupied; in the number of church
members; of pastors, of high schools,
Summaries and colleges, and in the con-
tributions of native Christians toward
the support of the own institutions.
