There is power in the Bible which is in
nothing else. "The word of the Lord is
quick and powerful" Rather, "the word
of the Lord is life-giving, or life-producing
and powerful" The word of Jesus Christ
gave life to the dead and putrefying body of
Lazarus and it has given spiritual life to
countless thousands before and since the
resurrection Of Lazarus. The lightning
rends the strong oak of the forest, the cy-
clone dashes todestruction everything in its
path, the plague desolates cities and death
stalks through the land cutting down with
his sharp sickle, the young and the old, but
God has magnified his word above all his
name, in that it converts the soul.

VNHE undersigned has taken the agency for the
sale of the THOMPSON PIANO. one of the
best instruments in the market, and also for the
sale of the ORGANS manufactured by the Great
Western Organ Company.
The Pianos represent are in different styles,
both square and upright, full u octaves, and be-
sides having all the modern improvements Of the
best makers, with highly ornamented case and
superior finish throughout, have also three
strings in the treble and are thus nearly equal in
tone and power to the Concert Grand.
represent ten styles of Organs, and can suit
any purchaser as to quality and price. II you
contemplate the purchase of an instrument
either Piano or Organ-do not buy until you con-
fer with me. I can suit you with either instru-
ment and will make prices satisfactory. Every
instrument fully warranted by the manufac
turers. There is no longer any excuse for paying
a fancy price for piano bearing the name OF
some old, aristocratic maker-which name is
usually the only thing to recommend it-when
you can buy one equally as good in every respect
for half the money. Correspondence invited
and all information cheerfully furnished.

Mr.. Meiggs carried his famous railroad
from Lima to the crest of the Andes, over
three miles high, at cost of S27 900, 900 and
1000 human lives, but died before COM
pleting it. About fifty miles of track re-
mained to be built. A contract for its con-
struction has just been made with brother
of Mayor Grace, of New York. 1t is said
that the sensation of riding up this railroad,
together with the rapid ascent from the sea
level to the mountains crest, produces a
sickness called "sirocche," of ten fatal, and
usually sending people to bed for several
weeks. The symptoms are terrible pres
sure upon the temples, nausea, bleeding at
the nose and ears, and faintness, but the
effects can be avoided by taking precau-
tions and observing rules that experience
has suggested, the chief one being to drink
a glass of brandy, and keep perfectly quiet
as the slightest degree of exercise will floor
the strongest man.
Governor Hoadly, on Wednesday, eX-
pressed the opinion that Judge Foraker
could not possibly be elected Governor of
Ohio. The Republicans now concede that
they madea serious mistake in having their
convention so early. Their party is daily
losing strength on account of fights among
the leaders. Their present campaign is
merely fight between Ex-Governor Foster
and Senator Sherman for a seat in the
United States Senate. Governor Hoadly
thinks the Democrats will easily win on
account of these disaffections in the party
and loss of the control of the German vote.
In speaking of his accepting the Democratic
nomination, which he declares he does not
want, he says: GAS to accepting the nomi-
nation if it were rendered in a way which
satisfied me that it was the universal wish
of the Democratic party that should be
their candidate, then I would consider the
matter. I should then feel at liberty to de-
cline, but we have not reached that issue
yet, and will not meet it until presented
! to me-"

BUSINESS MEN IN COUNCIL.
Interesting Discussions Before the National
Commercial Convention at Atlanta.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 2O-The commercial
convention this morning, passed resolution,
offered by Mr.. Trenholm, of South Carolina,
that it is the duty of Congress to pass speedily
as possible, laws for reciprocity with all foreign
nations The Lowell bankrupt bill is now under
consideration. Mr.. Waldo Smith, of New York,
delivered long speech in It's favor.
On reconvening in the afternoon, Mr.. Hirt OF
Virginia, and Mr.. yinton, OF Indiana, opposed
reciprocity treaties on the ground that they fos-
tered special and individual interests. Mr.. Me-
Clury, of Ohio, said there was no such thing
as raw material, neither was there over
production. Reciprocity treaties ought to %
avoided, because they cripple natural trade.
Mr. Yoeneff. of Kentucky. said England having
failed at reciprocity, was now trying conquest
as witness the wars in Egypt which were all TO
conquer trade and to impose English goods upon
those who would not otherwise have tnem

Sorry She Aided Capel.

CINCINNATI, May objectionable circles are
whispering over the reported detection of one of
Monsienor CapePs converts, wealthy Cincin-
natl lady. who was confirmed by that prelate
when in Europe, some years ago. She met him
on his visit to America and gave him check
for S., 900 for the support of his mission work
When the check was returned to her, paid, it
bore the Endorsement of Tiffany & Co., the New
York jewelers. She was curious to know how
they came to cash SO large a check and being
well known to the firm. inquired of them and
the reply was that Monsignor Capel had bought
a very expensive cross for new convert of his
distinguished New York lady, and rendered
the check in payment, receiving the difference
in cash. Because of this diversion of her mis-
sionary contribution, the lady's spiritual ardor
has cooled.

Milwaukee played with but one error outside
the battery. The eighth inning was
very exciting. Burns saved at least
two runs by making long running catch Of a
sky-scraper that lacked but a few feet
of going over center-feld fence. In the
same inning Stockwell brought in two
Milwaukee men by great hit to
center. Moriarity felded ball in to catch Lee,
but overthrow, and Mcclure threw wild to catch
Stockwell at third, enabling Stockwell to score
Moriarity's throw was the largest ever made
here. Following is the score:

Explosion of a Gasometer in St. Louis

ST. Louis, May 80 AT 10 this morning one of
the huge gasometers at the works of the ST
Louis Gas-light Company, corner of Second and
Convent streets, exploded with terrible report,
which could be heard for blocks around. After
the smoke had cleared away, the employees of
the works. who rushed to the scene, found three
men lying about the meter. Investigation
showed that John Burns and Tom Doran were
dead, and that Thomas Killain. who was injured
about the head, was insensible and in very seri-
GUS condition. All the men had been employed
in clearing out the meter which exploded, and
which had been out of use for some weeks. The
superintendent accounts for the accident by say
ing that the gas had been run into the disused
tank yesterday to try it, and that the men must
have used light, which communicated with
some OF the gas remaining in the tank. The
damage to the works is slight. John Burns, one
