 tr0It Railroad Crossing.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 5.-At noon to-day a Lake Shore and Michigan and Southern switching engine on it's way to the junction collided with a street of the Fort and Croghan street line at the Croghan street crossing, demolishing the street car and injur- ing ten persons, five of whom will probably die. The car was comparatively filled with passengers, about fourteen in all, when the locomotive crashed into it. The side of the car was crushed in and overturned and push ed along few sect, but the quick reversal of the locomotive prevented further damage.

A LECTURE ON CLASSIC FRANCE.

A LECTURE ON CLASSIC FRANCE The Opening Lecture in the Course ol the Church of she Redeemer-Br. Bingham Of Hartford Speaks of Bos- suet.
 Rev. J. F. Bingham, D. D., of Hartford delivered the first lecture in a course of five at the Church of the Redsemer last night. The lecture was the first of two on the sub ject 'fIn Old Classic France" The course is called by Dr. Bingham foundation oameos in the morals and civilization of the ages D The address last evening was brief, elo- quent and intensely interesting account of the life, letters, orations, influence and the death of Jacques Benique Bossuet, "The Eagle of Meaux," the foremost man of an age of giants. Dr. Bingham did not give a dry historical sketch, interspersed with numerous details in the life of his subject; on the contrary, he treated more of the con- temporaneous lives of other well known per sonages at the time and touched slightly on the political occurrences of the century, all of which affected and were influenced by, in great measure, the life of Bossuet
 Dr. Bingham began his essay with the birth of Bossuet in A. D. 1927 in Bur gundy.
 The whole period of this part of history is tinged he said, with coloring of Catholicism and every event of that period must be viewed through that atmosphere. He hur- riedly traced the early life of the great orator through boyhood and youth without dwelling at any length until he spoke of him attending the College of Navarro.
 He then recited some of the incidents which brought the young man first into favor with royalty, and pictured in glowing and ha inf Of ba iain preacher on all with whom he came in con- tact.
 He named as he went along the principal occasions upon which the chief orations of Bossuet were delivered.
 Dr. Binghams expressions in portraying the customs of the royal court, the imposing funeral pageants and the brilliant processions were very fervid and inspiring. He thinks that Bossuet owed great deal to his physical endowments, being in person beautiful and having voice that included in it's range the pathetic and tones of thunder.
 The literary works of Bossuet were pros duced between the years 1871 and 1890, dur- ing which time as preceptor to the Dauphin he gave up preaching except on special and remarkable occasions.
 Dr. Bingham treated very briefly the great controversy between Bossuet and his friend and rival Fenelon.
 The picture drawn of the death of the ora tor ln lIU4 was DoGn Goucn1ng ana anectlng.
 He described the funeral cortege, the bur ial of the body in the cathedral at Meanx and and the reopening of the tomb in 1854, the body having escaped the ravages of the blood thirsty Revolutionists.
 The next lecture in the course thus au- spicuously begun will be given on the 18th and the subject will be Fenelon, one of the greatest rivals of Bossuet.
 The success of the course is assured and there will probably be larger attendance at the next one.

Babylon Dln,cuit to Reach.

PHLADELPHIA, Dec. 5.-Recent advices from Constantinople state that the prospects for the Babylonian expedition of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania are not considered par- ticularly favorable. Dr. Peters has so far failed in obtaining 6rman from the sultan and it now seems doubtful whether the sx- petition will reach Babylonia at all, inas- much as the rise in the river Euphrates, which occurs in March, flooding all the sur rounding country, leaves only the months of January and February open for the work.

When found it was thought that he was dead, but he soon gained consciousness and gave the particulars of the robbery and assault. The police are power less to cope with this gang, which has com- pletely terrorized the vicinity it infests. Many drowning accidents" have been at tributed to these rufinns, and it is danger ous for even the policemen to venture along the canal after dark.

Drives For Goal.

The New Ravens are making brilliant ef- fort to adorn the tail end. Newcomb is running five miles every morn ing to get himself in condition to play. Manager Clark of Boston is in no happy frame of mind. He has been given the go-by. "Kid" Conway came near being fined by Referee O'Maley the other night for back talk. Ditto Cotter. O'Maley will have no feoling.
 Why doesn't Manager Harris play Kirke at half-back instead of Conway? As the Bridge port News says, ''We have-our Kirke." Springfield was sorry to lose it's polo team. When is Cotter going to make that brace he is talking about? Myl but what game the Meridens are playing

 The Boston players will probably be sold now that Clark has not been admitted to the league. A good chance to strengthen some of the teams.
 Phelan is an accurate long distance driver for goal.
 Perry is guyed in Hartford on account of his ''Sideboards." There is consolation in Hartford's keeping company with New Haven for last place. Shake, Hartford. New Haven may get there yet. Stranger things have happened Although the crowd that attend the local games as gentlemanly towards visiting players any gathering of polo enthusiasts in the State there is tendency on the part of some of the spectators to guy the opposing teams. The local managers are very desir- ous of doing away with this obnoxious prac- tice, as they think reform would be well comed, both by visiting teams and major ity of the pectators.-Bridgeport Farmer. The following from the Springfield Union shows that Bancroft didn't want to stay in Springfield, even if the toboggan man had sold his slide!
 "Mr. Drury, the proprietor of the toboggan slide, informed Union reporter this after noon that neither Manager Bancroft nor As- ! sistant Manager Rogers had ever approached him with regard to taking out the slide or ! asked his terms for SO doing. MT. Drury ! further stated that parties in Boston had ! purchasing his interest in the rink, and hs | had supposed they were acting in the interest | of MT. Bancroft. He had learned to-day tha
 ! they were not representing MT. Bancroft aH6
 I in fact were not at all acquainted with him
 | MT. Drury said that the statements that ht had asked $4 900 to take out his slide were ! untrue and reiterated the statement tLat
 ! neither Bancroft Rogers had attempted \ negotiations with him. Mir. Drury says tha
 | he is considering several offers for the dis
 posal of his slide and may eventually aecep | one of them.

Extreme RetieeRce i'm Regard to she seIzure of she Eaaytfen Republic American Interests i'm HaytI. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-While there is rea~ 1 son to believe that this government has de- manded the release of the steamer Haytien Republic, recently seized at Port gu Prince, it is impossible as yet to obtain official in formation to that effect. Secretary Bayard declines to say anything whatever on the subject, and when Assistant Secretary Riyes was asked if demand for the release had been made, he answered, 1T am not at iber ty to say"
 Secretary Whitney when spoken to on the subject said: t'It is diplomatic question en- tirely and I would not know anything about it unless the Secretary of State requested the use of 8 naval vessel. In case 8 demand was made for the release of the vessel in question steps to enforce it by sending our vessels to that country. The case cannot have reached that point yet, as we have not been asked to send any vessels to Hayti. Some of our vessels may go there, but so far no orders have been issued on the subject. Commodore Walker, chief of the navigation bureau, when asked what vessels could be sent on that service, said that the Gslena, Yantic and Richmond, now at New York, could be made ready for sea in about two weeks and the Ossisippe at Norfolk in about four weeks. In case only one vessel was needed he said the Galena, flying the flag of Rear Admiral Luce, would probably be selected.
 The Haytien Republic left New York on October 4, bound for ports along the Hayti- an ooast. The Haytian gunboat Dessalines stopped her on the high seas and ordered her captain to haul down the stars and stripes. This Captain Compton refused to do, and he together with all his crew, were made pris- oners of war. The Haytian Republic was taken by the Dessalines to Port au Prince, where she was held by the Haytian govern ment.
