spurgeon and the Baptist Union.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-A deputation of the Baptist union had a conference to-day with MT. Sturgeon with reference to his with drawal from the union. MT. Sturgeon de- clared he must maintain his resignation. He suggested that the council should adopt simple basis of Bible truths such ss are &C., cepted evangelical doctrines. He consider ed that the constitution of the union did not contain sufficient powers to enable it to deal with members who disclosed heretical ten dencies. He declines to formally accuse anybody. He said when he had spoken of that which looked like the beginning of confederacy in evil he referred to no special association in connection with which devia- tions from the gospel truth could be discern- ed. He would continue to support the de~ partments of the union in which he was specially interested. A plenary council of the union has been conveked for Thursday to consider Mir. Spurgeons position.

THE DISASTER AT BRADFORD. A Judicial Investigation of the AHaI
 to Be Made.

HAvERILL, Jan. 13.-The judicial investi- gation of the disaster will open before Judge Garter Monday at the City Hall building. It is expected to consume the entire week. Eminent counsel will be employed and the investigation will be searching and thorough. Public opinion has settled down to the idea that the accident was caused by 8 flaw in the iron of the broken wheel, which no hu. man foresight could have remedied. The opinion that if the water tank house had not been run into the loss of life would have been much smaller has bsen changed, as it is seen that if the cars had not struck the tank they would have kept on the down grade and plunged into the river. In that case both cars would have been submerged and the loss of life would have been much greater. An autopsy on the body of Mrs. Flora E. Ward of the hospital revealed the fact that death was caused by congestion of the brain. Miss Mabel c. Day of Bradford, who made her exit from the wrecked car through a window, is quite i'll from the effect of her terrible experience. She was quite badly bruised, but will recover.
 George B. Wentworth died at the hospital at o'clock tonight, making the thirteenth victim of the Bradford accident. The sur geons are of the opinion that his lungs were punctured by the broken rib. He suffered severely all day. He belonged at Dover, N. H., and his family were with him when he died. W. F. Kimball, of Newton, will probably die. His wounded limb has not been amputated owing to the appeals of his family. The remaining patients, including John Madden of Bradford, whose leg was amputated Wednesday, are doing well.

NOTES.

The Bridgeports have lost but one game this year. It doesn't look if Bridgeport would come out last, according to predictions.
 Here is chance for the New Ravens to show what they made Of The Boston Herald says: 1.-The New Havens claim to be the best all round team in the country Manager Richardson will match his team against the best all-round team for from $100 to $5.000 side for 8 series of from three games up. The New Bedfords will do the same, likewise Boston, likewise Salem. Now let the 'all-round' team speak up. If the New Haven management would arrange a series with these teams it would be highly exciting and interesting did two games short time ago the Pawtuckets, the Salems, the Bostons, in fact all the teams the Central division put together, could not defeat them. The New Ravens would not have much to fear from any team in the Central division except the Pawtuckets, with the famous Cotter and Seeley And the New Ravens, if they only had the chance would take some Of the concet out of the Central division teams.

Presented to she Designer of the

 NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-The following cor respondence has taken place between the officers of the Burgess national testimonial fund and MT. Burgess, the designer of the victorious American yachts:
 NEW YORK, Dec. g, 1887. Edward Burgess. Esq. Boston:
 Dear Sir-Through the kind medium of our mutual good friend General Charles J. Paine we have the great pleasure of sending you the treasurers cheque for $10, 172.2 25, the net amount received here in behalf of the national testimonial fund in grateful recog- milton of your splendid genius and careful study resulting in the modelling of the yachts Puritan, Mayhower and Volunteer, which, making such a marked advance, one after the other, on previous designs, 50 successfully defended the Americas cup against the three English yachts successively sent to this country to wrsst it back. No event has in late years redounded decting as it did the earnest concentrating of the ingenuity of our people when occasion shoul d require and forcing the acknowledg- ment of the English press and people that they have met more than their match on the element on which they held themselves pre- eminent To the firm resolve, nautical knowledge and great liberality of General Charles B. Paine is indeed due the first need of praise, for without him these results might not have been so successfully attained. But it needed the scientific designer to carry out his ideas to success and in this matter he had the wisdom and foresight to select you as his faithful lieutenant.
 Assuring you, dear sir, of the hearty mean ing of this slights tribute and of our own es- teem and respect.
 We remain yours very sincerely. J. W. HAYWOOD, F. w. HURST, Burgess testimonial fund. Messrs. Joseph W. Haywood and F. W. Hurst, New York:
 My dear sirs-General Paine has given me your most kind letter of December 24 with l its enclosure of check to my order for $10, 172.25. It is impossible for me to express, as I would, my deep sense of the unparal- | leled generosity and kindness which prompt | ed such an unexpected gift, one that feel have done so little to deserve. But mag nifcently generous as it is I can assure you | that value far higher it's testimony to the | existence of so many kind friends and well | wishers. hope you can fud some way to ! express to them my heartfelt gratitude for their great goodness to me.
 1 Please accept my sincere thanks for the very kind words with which you present the l gift and believe me, always, l Most gratefully yours, EDWARD BURGESS. l BOSTON, January 12, 1888.
 MT. Burgess delay in replying was owing Il the presentation until the Boston fund pre-
 sentation took place 50 as to have them giv- en at the sahne time. General Paine, how ever, having this week written that there l would be some delay, he was asked to make | the presentation at once.
