His Deceased Wife's Sister.

Rev. X. B. Ewing, pastor of the Sixth United
Presbyterian church of Pittsburg, has married
Miss Agnes j. Stevenson, a sister of his deceased
wife, and many of his congregation are highly
exercised over the matter. One of the elders,
Samuel Harper, says that it is a violation of an
article in the Confession OF Faith, and that the
pastor must either resign or be dismissed Mr..
Harper regards Pastor Ewing as a man of
ability and distinction. with few equals in the
pulpit. but says were he allowed to remain it
would establisha precedent for the violation of
the church laws. DR.. Reid, who performed the
ceremony, is one of the leaders of the denom-
inatiOn. He says MIR. Ewing gave due notice
of his intention to the elders, who made no OBJ
lection. True he SAYS, 1.-THE Confession of
Faith places the wife's relatives in the same de-
gree OF kindred as the husbands own family.
This prescription has been held in allegiance for
a score of years or so. The question came up
before the general assembly. and the vote was
SO close that it practically lapsed a disturb
ing element"
Mr. Ewing, whose second wife died about
three years ago. is about sixty-five years of age
His bride is slightly over thirty.

Prince Georges County, Md.
Correspondence Of THE EVENING STAR.
HYATTSyIIIF January 9


EVANSVILLE, January 49,
At the last meeting of the commissioners for
Prince Georges county a resolution was passed
requesting the county members of the legisla-
ture now in session to procure necessary legis-
lation to authorize the county commissioners
to issue bonds to the amount of $4,000 of
which amount $4,000 is to be used for the pur-
pose OF hquidating the county debt for the
years from 1874 to 1879 inclusive. and the bal
ance to be used for the purpose of putting the
county finances on n cash basis. The bonds are
to bear interest at per cent and are not to be
sold below par. The resolution further re-
quests the legislature to amend the laws re-
lating to the collection of taxes in Prince
Georges county that all county taxes shall
be fully collected by January next following
their levy, and that the commissioners be au-
thorized to sue the bondsman of any collector in
default after that date.
Some days ago one of the Baltimore dailies
reported the death in Germany of Dr. Sinclair
Bowen, a young Prince Georges physician pur-
suing his studies at one of the universities
there. A subsequent cablegram to his father
Mr.. 7. A. Bowen, states that the young man is
alive and well.

Boston, Aug. 12.-The Grand Army

the department of information were at
their posts all night, and have been of
great assistance to the incoming veter-

during the early morning hours, when
the streets about the depot were filed
with marching bodies. One of the first
delegations to arrive was the E. B.

trains came in during the night and
were side tracked, the occupants making
themselves comfortable as possible until
morning.

AN IbBl.IAA UPHEAVAL.
Ten Acres OF Ground TOrn Up
by u Terrific Ex-

Fifty Fountains of Flame Inter-
spersed With Six or Eight
Geysers.
Rocks as Large as Houses Moved
from Their Places-A Grave
yard Shaken Up.

SHELBYvu.LE, Aug. 12.-At 8 o'clock
a terrific explosion occurred near Og-
den's graveyard, three miles south Of
Waldron, this Shelby county, causing
great excitement throughout the county.
Ten acres of land were torn to pieces.
One acre was demolished to the depth Of
ten feet. The bed of the river was
blown up, and large stones were thrown
fully half mile from the scene. The
gas is burning fully fifteen feet high
From the Center of the River,
and from fifty or more points of the
land torn up. The whole country is in
excitement, and no means are known by
which the flow of gas may be stopped.
J. FL. Towe, who lives on the farm
where the explosion occurred, says he
heard terrific report and felt the earth
quivering beneath his feet. He went
toward the graveyard, and was soon
confronted by a sheet of fame 200 feet
high. Then
Fifty or More Fountains of Fire
burst from the earth. These were in
terspersed with six or eight active gey-
sers. The river bed was torn to pieces
and the huge assures were receiving the
water of the river. Sheets of flames
swept over the water, and crater COW
ering an area of about one acre was
quickly converted into huge hole, from
which Il continuous roaring and rumb-
ling noise proceeded. Within the bend

along the stream great rents are in the

stones the Size of House
have been hurled from their places. The
grave yard was shaken up, the skeletons
of the dead being distinctly seen in the
fractures of the earth. Gas flows freely
from the entire surface of the ten acres.
Many theories have been advanced as to
the cause of the upheaval. Many people
contend that it was spontaneous COM
bustion of natural gas. Others
Think the UpheavaI Was Volcanic.
Mr.. Towe, who got to the scene before
the gas ignited is sure the upheaval was
volcanic. Inhabitants in the locality
became wild with excitement and many
left their homes. Within the last
eighteen months there have been thir-
teen gas wells sunk in the locality of the
grave yard and while each has had some
gas none have been gushers.

TheDrowning of Fred Stebbins

lh0DfOWnlnR OF FreQ St0DD1nS.
The last weeks BULLETIN contained
brief notice of the drowning in the
Mississippi river of Fred M. Stebbins,
son of A. Stebbins, but we failed to re-
ceive full particulars of the sad affair,
the arrival of the body in Hancock and
the funeral.
The remains arrived hereMondayngiht,
4th inst. accompanied by the father and
Messrs. N. Leahy, John Lynch, James
Lynch, G. Mckay, w. FL. Ionic and
J. Morehouse, members of the B. L. F.,
Lodge15S, towhich the deceasedibelonged.
Miss Mary Ronean, whom Mr.. Stebbins
was to have married in few days, also
came up to attend the funeral. Sad jim
deed was it for the young lady.
To w. T. Reed, master mechanic of
the Kansas City road, too much praise
cannot be given, for the many favors
shown and the kindness displayed in
this case. And to the "Brothe rhood"
who exhibited their brotherly esteem
and regard for theis departed is due the
grateful thanks of the friends of the
deceased. A detail of FIVE members of
the brotherhood" searched for five
days before they found the body, and
then were obliged to drive twelve miles
through the timber with team to take
it away from the place where it was
found.
The sad accident occurred while on an
excursion down the Mississippi, on
board the steamer Henrietta and barge,
near Red Rock. There was dance in
progress, and while attempting to pass
from one end of the barge to the other,
Mr.. Stebbins stepped on the plank out
side of the railing, SO as not to interfere
with those engaged in dancing; the
plank saddenly turned and he was pre-
cipitated into the water and was drowned,
The excursion was gotten up by the
deceased for the benefit of new lodge
of which he was member and in which
he took great interest,
The funeral took place on Tuesday,
and the remains were inferred in the
village cemetery, under the auspices of
the brotherhood" Prayer was made
at the grave by Rev. G. FL. Routliffe.
There was very large attendance, sixty
five teams being in the procession 1t
was very sad occasion, and the parents
and other relatives have the heartfelt
sympathy of our entire community.
