dition his mind grows markedly clearer"

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, May .28.-The
United Presbyterian Assembly spent the
entire day in considering the reports of
the committees of the various church
boards. Revs. J. B. Lee of New York,
]. M. French of Ohio, and j. w. Martin
Of Massachusetts, were appointed COM
mittee to report on the state Of religion,

baptism by immersion was discussed
and referred back to the committee.

ed to the Freedman's Mission. At the

THE SOUTHERN ASSEMBLY.
BALTIMORE, May 2S.--In the general
assembly Of the Southern Presbyterian
Church this morning Rev. DR.. Snoot, of
the Committee on Votes in the complaint
of Rev. DIR. Woodrow against the Synod
Of Georgia, reported that the sense Of the
General Assembly is that God made the
body out Of the dust Of the earth and
that it was not evolved from the lower
animal, and that the action Of the Geor-
eia synod be sustained.
The report was adopted.
Rev. DIR. Stricken, Of the Committee
on Bills and Overtures presented re-
port on the organic Union of the Northern
and Southern Presbyterian Churches.
Ten Of the Presbyteries oppose such a
union, while the others wish cooperation
in Christian works, which can only
be accomplished by organic union.
The obtacles which have heretofore APP
peared against organic union have not
been removed, and it is deemed best for
the Southern church to remain separate.
The report wishes all past differences to
be forgotten and close fraternal relations
maintained, and that q joint COM
mittee be appointed to confer
and report to the new General
Assembly the best means OF cooper
alton in extending the church. DR.. Birk-
head offered substitute TO continue the
Committee on Conference with the
Northern Assembly in regard to organic
union and report at the next meeting Of
the General Assembly. Rejected. No
vote on the main question was reached.

Lorenz Krug, the Chicago Murderer, and
Hubbard, the Bank wrecker, Falling.

Joliet, H.. special Lorenz Krug, one OF
Chicago's "star" murderers, lies upon his
death bed at the Joliet prison very low
with consumption and can live but few
days. Krug will be remembered as the
man who was charged with the murder
of four persons in Chicago by poison.
two OF his victims being bis first and
second wives. His last victim was Lucy
Heidelmeyer, his step-daughter, for which
crime he was sentenced for eighteen years.
Krug is but thirty five years old. He has
been despondent and at times maniacal
since he was brought down. His health has
declined rapidly. On bed in the prison
hospital near Krug is the gaunt form OF
another noted prisoner Benjamin L. Hub
bard, the wrecker OF the First National
Bank, of Monmouth. He is but
shadow OF his former self, and in fact has
been physical wreck for a year past, and
is so weak that he has not left his room for
months. His mental faculties are decayed
and he is indeed pitiable object. Hubbard
was cashier OF the bank. His shortage
amounted to S115,O0 and he was sent
down to Joliet for seven years in January,
1885. Hubbard has always claimed that
he vas more sinned against than SHINING
and that hs had been made the scapegoat
of bolder and more inscriptions men.
Several attempts have been made by
Hubbard's 8 friends to procure pardon for
him from President Cleveland, but without
success. 1t will be but short time before
the hand of death opens his prison doors
and ends his troubles.
