Lord Howe's Bones Found ar

streets of this village Thursday. t.ev
struck tombstone. At the the hot.
tom OF it was found a coffin containing
the bones of a human being. The
stone was washed off and found to
contain the inscription and date Of
death Of Lord Howe, who fell at Fort
dlconderoga on July s, 1853, while
lighting the French forces. The skull
was intact, but the rest of the bones
were disjOinted and considerably. Az
soon as it had been learned about the
village, an immense crowd of people
assembled, and many made desperate
efforts to procure pieces of the bones.
The coffin, which was of oak, was in a
fairly good state of preservation. and
1t was with great difficulty that people
were prevented from cutting it to
pieces for relics. Several wears ago
the street where the coffin was found
was filled in several feet, and this ac-
counts for the depth of the tombstone's
location. The body will probably be
relnterred at once in the village
cemetery.

young trees.

Roasted in Midair,

That electricity will kill was demon.
strated by a public execution in the
plain sight of all New York Friday
when lineman of the Western Union
Telegraph Company met a horrible
late IN network of wires at the cor

The current killed him while he was

mldaIr, where the body lay limp and
motionless over the tangle of wires.
while the current "sizzled" through
the flesh, and the blood of the victim
was shed over the sidewalk and sprink-
led the clothing of Mortified pedestri.
ans ON the sidewalk. As this "acci-
dent" occurred in the middle of the
day in one of the busiest parts of the
city 1t was witnessed by a large con-
course of people, and supplied irrefrag-
lOle proof of the deadly potency of the
current which flows through some of
the overhead wires. There have been
fatal occurrences of this kind among
linemen and workmen whose business
takes them up in the web of wires in
the cities, but this conspicuous exam
pie of the danger which constantly
menaces human life from overhead
lines ought to strengthen the determi-
nation of Mayor Grant to have every
one OF the wires buried before any
more victims are sacrificed.

The Doctrine of Election and
Reprobation.

There is a movement in the Presbv-
terlan church led, or at least advocat-
ed, by the venerable ex-President
McCOsh of Princeton College. to revise
tne Confession of Faith. The point of
aUIacK Is the doctrine of election. In
a speech to the Presbytery of New
Brunswick, DR.. McCosh said it seemed
TOO harsh, and as lacking in "a clear
ana prominent utterance such as we
have in the Scriptures everywhere of
the love ofGOd to all men and of the
iree gift of Jesus Christ and of saliva
ton to all men, not to to the elect
alone" The younger Presbyterian
clergy, according to DIR. McCosh. find
the doctrine of election as expressed in
the Confession serious stumbling
block in their way. They are unable
or unwilling to defend it, and for his
own part he discovers that it meets the
heresles OF the seventeenth century
DuC not the heresies of the nineteenth.u .u
Ihe stumbling block in the confession
Is the remOrseless statement as follows.
BY the decree of God, for the mani.
testation of His glory, some men and
some angels are predestined to ever.
lasting life, and others foredained to
everlasting death.
These angels and men, thus predes.
uned and toreordained, are particu-
larry and unchangeably designed; and
their number is so certain and definite
that 1t cannot be either increased or
diminished.
lfthis statement should be modified
10 suit the sympathies of modern SEN
timent 1t would involve an entire
change OF belief in regard to the doc
trlne OF everlasting punishment and
consequently revision of the whole
creed OF the Presbyterians. It is prob
aole that there will be a movement to
accomplish this, for the present creed
seems too strong meat for the younger

upon by a committee, who informed

and he resumed business with more
openness than ever. The next morn

The bar was battered down, mirrors

also, that each of these states had tried
