THE RASH PROFESSORS OEcoY HELD.

One of Those Who Allotted the Professor
in His Great Leap Under Bail.
NV YORK, May 20.-The dead body of
Robert Emmett Odlum, who leaped from
the East river bridge last evening, still lies
at the coroner's undertaking establishment.
The body is packed in ice and the face is
calm and peaceful like one asleep. The
coroner was notified by the relatives Of
the deceased that they would
come on from Washington, D. c.,
where they live, Just as soon as possible, and
claim the body and take it to that city for
burial. The coroner will hold an inquest at
once and is busily summoning the witnesses.
James Haggart whose efficiency as a decoy
enabled Odlum to leap to death is held by
Justice Walsh, OF Brooklyn, on three
charges, viz: For conduct tending TO incite
q breach of the peace; aiding and abetting
Odlum in an attemgt likely to result in dam:
age to life or limb, and carrying concealed
weapons. He IS held in 81 800 bail.
An autopsy will be held later this after.
noon on the body Of Odlum. A superficial
examination shows that five of the untortu'
nate mans ribs are broken on the right side,
and it is evident that the heart was fatally
affected by the force with which the bo1y
struck the water. There have been no
arrests of the men who were with Odlum
wi en- he Jumped. Tho Coroner sIy5 he
will su0pC ena all Of them, and that the I s.
t mony at the inquest will govern his act
ion. The District Attorney has taken no
steps in the matter. Captain Boynton de-
clares that he discouraged the attempt in
many ways. No one connected with the
affair acknowledged that he encouraged
Odlum.

THE REVISED BIBLE.
The Rev. Wilbur +. Crafts Asks His Con-

The Rev. Wilbur +. Crafts Asks His Con-
gregatiOn to Cling to the Old.
New YORK, May 20-The Rev. Wilbur
F. Crafts spoke to his people IN the Eighty
sixth Street Presbyterian Church yesterday
morning upon the right translation Of the
Bible and the one most needed. Heidi not
60 into any very elaborate discourse upon
the many attempts made to refine the words
of Scripture. One after another learned
congresses had started out to make most
careful collstions Of authorities and to draw
distinctions Of the finest sort between words
and phrases, but the real translation of Cos.
pei, the one which was needed above all
others and which must be made if mankind
is to be saved is to translate the spirit of the
Holy Book into the hearts of men. This can
be done from any version. The old fathers
in the faith preached sermons full of grace,
and living faith led thousands to the altar
to find salvation through the blood of Jesus
Christ, and there was no worriment about
this or that version. The great truths of
the Bible cannot be rubbed out or belittled
through the efforts of man. They are
eternal, and may be studied as well through
on version as another. But the danger is
that in the quest of the mere verbal distiuc-
tions the people will lose sight Of the truth
expressed. This is the danger, and this is
to be guarded against. Many good, saint
ly woman has found all the consolation she
needed to carry her through life of trial
and privation in the words Of a single chap
ter. She committed the words, but she sb-
sorbed into her being the spirit Of the in
spired writer who penned them. She had
read her Bible Alright, not by mere word Of
mouth, with much sound and little meaning
but in the true spirit which should fill the
breast of every one who reads the Word Of
God.
A man may use any version and be q
Christian; a man may know all the versions
and remain pagan. The effort Of the
churches and churchmen should be towards
unity. There is much to distract in the
many anti Christian agencies spriuging up
on every hard, and further confusion should
not be introduced by the pushing forward OF
various Bible versions Cling to the good
old Bible of our fathers; make it guide Of
life, apply tsprecepts to the doings of every
day; keep it close to the breast during
waking hours and let it rest under the pill
low in the moments Of sleep, and then no
fear need be felt, no misgivings disturb the
mind, for on earth will be peace and plenty,
and in the world to come reward eyerlast-

WINNIPEG, MAN, May 20.-A Battleford
dispatch Of yesterday says: The situation
here to-day took on peculiar change.
Poundmsker' Indians, evidently encouraged
BY the capture of the supply train and BY
the guietude of Otter's troops, came closer
to the barracks. II is supposed that over
two hundred Indians were riding about in
the vicinity. They set the prairie on fire in
several places not far from town and tie
barracks. Their actions gave rise to a fear
OF attack and steps were Immediately taken
to meet il. Forces were gathered in and
around the barracks and the town put in
position for defense The private Cana.

day, and it is likely nothing further will
come through till very late.
WINNIPEG, May 20.-The Hudson Bay
Company have advices that several Of their
most important posts in the North Saskat-
chewan district have been plundered and
burned by the Indians, and the officers and
people turned adrift in an almost starving
condition. At Green Lake post, 200 miles
north of Edmonton, probably 100000
worth of goods were destroyed or stolen.
Lac Labiche station, 800 miles north OF
Fort Carlton, was also raided. The plum
dering of this post indicates that the Indian
disafection extends much further north
than has been supposed.

Dracona and Her Collision With the Ice
Mountains.
HALIFAX, N. s., May 2O.-The steamer
Dracona, reported arrived disabled, present
ed a curious appearance as she docked.
Her stern from the sixteen feet drought
mark for ten feet or more up Is hattened
back about three feet on the port and FIVE
feet on the starboard side, while above this
the stern is split perpendicularly, as though
struck by an q immense battering
ram. Captain Langsier reports: "At II
p. m. on May l6 we saw what appeared to
be fog bank on our starboard bow. Being
apprehensive of danger orders were given
to put to helm hard starboard, the engines
at the same time being stopped. We then
saw that supposed fog band WIS ice. AS it
was impossible to avoid it by use Of the
helm tte engines were backed full speedl
but they had not been moving
in this direction over minute
and the crew had scarcely had time to leave
the forecastle before the ship violently col,
lided with the ice berg making terrible
crash. The ice berg had come in full view
when the engines were rung full astern
action. The crew thought the steamer
would sink and preparations were hurriedly
made to abandon her, while the glittering
tower of ice creakingly disengaged aud
slowly drified off. The captain made an
examination of the bow and discovered that
the damage was all before the collision
bulkhead. 1t was also found that the ship
was making no water. Being a steel ship
the plates had not broken but were simply
doubled in, forming q sort Of breakwetr for
the bulkhead. No further accidents occurred
but thick weather was experienced until the
steamers arrival in port. After discharg-
ing her Halifax freight the steamer will pro-
