A religious sect, known as the Berean
Baptists, dedicated a new church at
Visalia, KY, recently, q great throng of
people being present. This new church

nation in the State. The Rev. Mr.. Nor

this sect in the city of Cincinnati, and is
a finely educated man, aud ON able min

religious sect is that, while the righteous
enjoy eternal bliss, the wicked merely
perish out of existence, there being no

RIDING FOR a FALL.
Ane Conservatives in Open AntaSo-
nism to the Land League.

A. London dispatch says that the British
government will ride for a fall on the Irish
question, in the hope Of getting back into the
saddle on the other side o. the fence, They
have decided to tempt defeat on the chance
Of turning it into victory.
The proposal of repreSsive legislation is an
open declaration of war against the IRISH
parliamentary party. 1t means that the
tact understanding between Lord Randolph
Churchill and Mr.. Parncll is thrown over
board by the ministry Lord Randolph has
moved mountains to keep the truce in work
ing order, and Mr.. Parneil report says, was
not averse to its continuance, but neither
leader could control the more violent section
on his side, Lord Randolph has been swampcd
by the Orange uprising in Ulster. Personally,
however his relations with Mr.. Parnell are
unclouded. Each recognizes that the other
tried in good faith to carry out the Under
standing If another agreement between
the Nationalist and the Conservatives is at
any time made, it will come through the
channel of mutual confidence thus left open.
Lord Randolph Churchill might have man
aged to secure continuance OF the arrange
ment with the Irish party if it had not been
fer the stubbornness of the Uulster Tories.
The Ulster men turned deaf car to his per-
sonal solicitation, and notified Lord Salisbury
that, unless the government took measures
for the restoration of order in the disturbed
districts, they would trans,er their parlia-
mentaly support to Mr.. Gladstone. That
settled it. This accession of the Irish Tory
vote would give the Liberals a clear majority
OF q over the Conservatives and Nationalist
united. With so fatal a secession i'll prospect,
the cabinet saw there was nothing but an lg-
nominious overthrow to be reaped from the
maintenance OF an understanding with Mr..
Parnell and now they have changed the pol

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

Prof, Bakhuyzen, of the Leiden obser-
vatory, finds reason for believing that
part of the planetary surface of Mars is
liquid.
The first arch@opteryx, the fossil re-
mains of the oldest known bird, which
seems to form the connecting link" be-
tween birds and reptiles, was discovered
in the photographic slate of Solenhofen in
1861. Another specimen recently found
in the same locality, has been sold for
$4,000 to the Berlin Museum.
Tidal observations on the eastern coast
of America have acquired new impor-
lance since the coast survey has confirmed
by recent observations the older sugges-
ton that there are tidal fuxes in the Gulf
Stream, and variations of its velocity due
to half-monthly changes in the relative
sea levels of the Atlantic and Gulf of
Mexico.
An electric spark in dusty atmosphere
causes the dust to settle, and if the air
be smoky clears it up. This is probably
one reason why the air seems so clear
when shifted after thunder storm, even
though there has been but little rain.
DR.. E. Fleischer has conducted expert
ments on the action of sea mud on moor
lands and sands. In the first year there
was no appreciable result, but in the sec
ond and third years there was benef-
cial influence manifested, which, how
ever, declined again in the fourth year.
A Storms Journey.-The first storm
ever followed day by day from the Pacific
to Europe has been described to the
Royal Meteorological Society of London
by Mr.. Harry Harries. 1t originated as a
typhoon near the Philippine Islands on
September 81, passing over Japan and the
Aleutian Islands, and entering the Unit
ed States on October 10. Crossing the
Rocky Mountains, it proceeded through
the northern states and Canada to Labra-
dor and Davis Strait. Encountering two
other disturbances in its passage of the
Atlantic, it reached the French coast on
october ~, causing extensive destruc-
ton, and on November 1, in the Baltic,
it quietly dispersed, after accomplishing
16, 900 miles in 36 days.
In paper on the history of the de-
velopment of coasts, a German geologist,
Dr. Fischer, reaches the conclusion that
where coasts have been formed by the
erosive action of waves and streams, ter
races and flat surfaces are the prevailing
characteristics, with semi-circular bays of
small radius on terraced coasts and large
radius on fiat coasts. Where other fea-
lures exist, they are mainly attributable
to subterranean movements and COM
paratively recent changes in the level of
the land, some modifying effects having
of course been wrought by the sea.

POWER OF THE PARNELIITES
Confident Speeches at the League
Meeting,

The fortlrightly meeting of the Irish Ma
donal League at Dublin, was fully attended,
with Mr.. John Dcasy, NJ. P. in the chair. A
good report was given as to the subscriptions,
which the chairman thought ought to encour-
age them all. He said: THE Irish people
will be oble to make their own terms before
the end of the year Coercion has now no
terrors for them The landlords are on their
last legs. IriShmen now have it within their
own power to take from Parliament, in spite
of all the powers of the empire, the right to
legislato fully for their own people"
Mr. W. H. Rcdmund, H. P, followed with
a long speech in which he said 81 do not be-
Geve the English people are prepared to give
coercion, for Englishmen know they have
enemies in every quarter of the world. They
know that the very moment they strike at the
Irish people. they will strike signal which,
perhaps, would stir the Indian princes to
great and more successful mutiny and which
would, perhaps. lead the Russians into Lon
don to stable their horses in the House Of
Commons
DR.. S. E. Kenny, NJ P. congratulated the
chairman on the thoroughly representative
character of the meeting. He was deeply
pleased, he said, to see, to see that the first
breath of those important and clustering
taunts and threats Of coercion from across
the channel had been sufficient to bring there
number of men to show how little the coun-
try fears this coercion.

In large factory, in which were EN-
ploycd several hundred persons, one of
the workmcn, in welding hammer,
carelessly allowed it to slip from his
hand. 1t flew half way across the room,
and struck fellow-workman in the left
eye. This man claimed that his eye
was blinded by the blow, although q
very careful examination failed to reveal
any injury. He brought suit in the
courts for compensation for the loss of
half of his eye-sight, and refused all Of
fers of a compromise. Under the law,
the owner Of the factory was responsible
for an injury resulting from an accident
of this kind, and although he believed
that the man was shamming, and that
the whole case was an attempt at swind-
ling, he had about made up his mind
that he would be compelled to pay the
claim.
The day of the trial arrived, and in
open court an eminent occulist, retained
by the defence, examined the alleged in
jured member, and gave it as his opinion
that it was as good as the right eye.
Upon the plaintiffs loud protest of his
inability to see with his left eye, the oc-
culist proved him perjurer, and salts
fed the court and jury Of the falsity of
his claim.
And how do you suppose he did til
Why, simply by knowing that the colors
green and red combined make black.

few words were written with green ink.

was ordered to read the writing on it.

cheat was at once exposed.

red glass, was unable to distinguish the

card, while the left eye, which wa:
claimed to be sightless, was the one

War Threatened in the Coke Region
of Pennsylvania.
A Scottdale, Pa, dispatch says; The strike

and coke drawers of the Conncllsvillo region
is assuming the most threatening aspect Al
ready there are 5000 mon involved, and deeds
of violence have necCSsitated the calling ont
OF sheriff ami city police forces, The Hun

to the region to fill the places Of the
native strikers three years ago arp the most
violent, and the greatest trouble is an,icipat-
cd. This morning, about ten o'clock,
band of 200 Hungarians and Po'es hea led
by gigantic minor named "Steve, crossed
the hills from Morewood mines to the Alice
coke works. They were all armed, and had
been drinking heavily. They found some
men at work at the ovens, and ordered them
to quit. These refused, and then the enragcd
strikers drove them from the yard, wrecked
some coal cars pulled out oven fronts, and
blew up portion of the coal tipple with
dynamite The men returned to work rs the
rioters loft, but they heard of their
action, and again returned and drove
them from the ovens. The company's stores
are closed at Morewood and standard
deputy sheriffs. The sheriff of West
morcland county has taken advice
aud requested the governor to send troops
at once to the seat of war, and it is
said that company of the 10th regiment is
under orders to march to Mt Pleasant, l2
miles distant, tho scene of trouble. AT Mt
Pleasant there are no liquors sold, 1t is a
town of 1000 inhabitants The Hungarians,
who live in row of frame houses on the hill
side above the Norwood mines, have bought
large quantities of whiskey and beer in
Connelsville, and are drinking to excess, both
men and women. There is an almost solid
line of coke ovens and coal works extending
from Mt Pleasant to Broad Ford, IL miles
south, and at nearly all these works there are
Hungarian lnborers In response to requests
of coke operators, the city authorities Of Pitti-
burg sent ont a squad of 80 police, well
armed. 1t is hoped the sight of the uni,
formed men will awe the strikers.

cents wagon for digging" 1t is generally
believed that most serious and bloody time
is imminent in this region. The c1ke opera

throat held on with a death grip. While
these two were paying their respects to the
jeweller, their companions We're at work
emptying the show case of its stock of gold
watches, rings and jewelry. They put every
thing into a small bag, selecting nothing but
