assassinated in the vacant cottage st 1871
Ashland avenue, Chicago. Several member

two mysterious young Irishmen, who rented
It from Sullivan, tine iceman. They discov>
cred blood stains on tho front psr.or
floor, in the corner OF the back parlor,
in the hallway aud on the front sters.
The steps were saturated with blood and
the stains could be plainly seen, although the
murderers evidently male an effort to wip,
away the evidence Of their ,rime. The front
parlor is 10 doubt where the murderers beat
out the brai S of the physician. The a por Is
daubed recklessly with brown paint, and it
can be plainly seen that the work was not
done by an expert, aud that the job was done
in hurry. But the murierers did not sue
c,ed in completely covering up the life blood
Of DR.. Cronin. They did tn, work in such
haste that there are several p.ac,s where
blood signs are perc,ptblt. Olo sp)t In the

rows paper. DR.. Woodrow arose aid aid II
his private character was thus TO be discuss'
ei he wanted the protection Of the Assem-
bly, or full opportunity TO defend himself.
The NJ ,derator appealed from this decision
but was not sustained.
DR.. Gerandau, Of the Charleston Presby~
terry, said: we werea prcsbytery and en-
deavorei to stop the mouths OF gsinsayers
against the fold. Truth OF ODD was uttered
by that assembly when It declared that the
scruples we're not silent in regard to the na-
ture Of mans creation. The opposition say
the scriptures are silent We say that IL 10
an error. We hold that they are not silent
wes,y that mans cody was created out OF
the dust. DR.. Woodrow scknow edge, Ia

an exception to the operation OF tho law Of
evolution; and why not the boiy OF Adsmi
The scriptures describe the CREATION
OF Adam; and no princip'l
OF evolution can break the word OF God.
