On the 2lst she sprung a leak. The men
got to the pumps, but the waves We're
washing the deck, which they swept

ganigation of the order or one
that has proved most useful in the tene-
ments.
Rev. w. 7. Elsing, pastor of the De-
witt Memorial church, and an active
agent in city mission work, said:
w want 100 Christian women right
away to go to the tenements and draw
the people to our churches. You are all
wrong In laying the blame on the
churches, on the rich, OF on the poor.
What is wanted in personal work. Tell
the people not that they are a class apart,
and you another, but that we are ali
brothers and sisters, and feel that rela-
tionship. Not until such tenementhouse
shall have a Christian counsel In form
of sanity women should the churches
rest
Mr.. Elsing thought a great bath where
the poor for 5, 10 or IL cents could have
o good swim, would be as valuable to
the cause of morality as the finest
church would.
DR.. John Hall found no cause for
dependency in the outlook. The de-
nomination spent last year $135, 600 for
home missions, $72, 900 for foreign mis-.
sions and $40, 900 for other aggressive eff.
forts. DIR. Hall thought that much
money was wasted in New York on free
lunch charitable work. The church was
not u failure. Rightly used, its power
was un~diminished; rather, it was greater
than ever. Concentration and the cult.
walton of a proper spirit of self-reliance
were the needs of the hour.
Chauncey M. Depew was to have
spoken on christianity as the Worlds
Great Uplifting Power but sent word
that his DOCTOR forbade his going out.

LoNpoN, Dec. 8.-An extraordinary
miscarriage OF justice has just come to
light, Notwithstanding the efforts of the
authorities to keep the affair secret.
Two men, named Branigan and Murphy,
have been released after nine Years penal
servltude for ii burglary OF which they
were innocent. The burglary was com.
mitted at Dillingham; vicarage, North
cumberland, in 1870, and was of a
most sensational character. The
Wears daughter heard n noise
in the house and called her
futher. both of them descended, the
vicar armed with IN old sword, to the
floor where the burglars were. One of
the burglars fired and the small shot
struck both tho vicar and his daughter.
But neither of them conld identify their
assailants. ine men were convicted on
purely cir~cumstantial evidence, and it is
now alleged that essential links were
manufactured by the police. 1t ia re-
ported that Mir. Labouchere will bring
The. matter before parliament at an early

SPRUNG BY SPRINGER.

The Omnibus Hill and the Plats Bill
Subjects oFa skirm1sh.
Washington special, 9th: There seems
to be @ race between the Jamestown con-
vention and the democratic house. II
Springer had had his way the house
would have been the first 60 make q
record on the territorial question. II came
upon q motion to take up the four state
bill and q molten TO take up the Plat
bill, both OF which were defeated by re-
publican objection. The territorial ques-
ton is complicated with the extra ses-
sion question. This anomalous state OF
thiDgo was revealed by the incidents OF
to. days session. That the democrats in
their fear OF the prospect of on extra
session and the organization OF the re-
publican house in April are apparently
ready to do more for the territories than
the republicans who desire an extra ses-
session and are willing to keep the Dako-
to question alive to serve as q pre-
text for it. This is the history of the
incident. Mr.. Springer offered q resolu.
ton taking up his four state bill for i'm.
mediate consideration and making it q
daily order until disposed Of. Gros.
venor, on the republican side, objected.
Then Springer, after consultation with
Delegate Voorhees,. prepared another
resolution taking mp the Piatt bill in
stead OF the four state bill, with the
understanding that the latter should be
offered as a substitution after c%onsulta-
sion and some verbal changes. dros-
venor withdrew his objection. This ac-
tion took the republicans by surprise,
and aroused suspicions of some kind OF
Q trick on the part Of Springer. The re-.
publicans we're in doubt whether the
modified resolution wal q mere device
to get ct the four state bill, as
Springer had determined upon a change
OF front, or on attempt to make democra.
tic capital out OF taray justice to DAko-
ia. They We're indisposed to permit
hasty action to ,sither oass, and Payso
OF illinois renewed the objection made
and Withdrawn by Grosvener. Mr.. Pay.
son is interested in the Des Doines river
land bill, which was next entitled to
consideration, and explained his obiec-
ton partially on this ground. It IS
known, however. that he had other and
political reasons for his course. He
suspected o political comp on the part of
Springer. and wished tina for exsmIna.
lion and consideration before ocnsent-
ing to take up either bill. Under the
objection the matter vent over till to-
morrow, when Springer declares hs will
bring it up again.
