THINKS WALLACE WILL WIN.
Congressman Kerr for the Ex-senator fol
Gubernatorial Honors.

Gubernatorial Honors.
Congressman James Kerr, of Clearfeld,
was at the Hotel Anderson for a few hours
yesterday. While averse to talking on
political matters on the Sabbath, he relaxed
sufficiently to tell a DISPATCH reporter
that he favors the nomination of ex-senator
Wallace for Governor, and thinks he will
win the honor with ease. If Mr.. Wallace
is nominated, Mr.. Kerr says, he could be
elected, provided any man of Quay's
naming secures the Republican nomination.
As to successor to the late Representa-
tive Randall Mr.. Kerr thinks Mutchler
should be chosen, as that gentleman, ac-
cording to Mr.. Kerr's idea, was not only an
intimate friend of Mr.. Randall's, but he
also shared the views of the deceased states
man,

THE COURT BELOW SUSTAINED.
The Decision Of Judge James in Regard to
the Steamer BishOp Affirmed.

The Decision of Judge James in Regard to
the Steamer Bishop Affirmed.
In the Court in General Term Judge Hagner
today rendered the opinion of the court affirm
ing the District Court, Judge James, in the
libel cases of the Inland and Seaboard Coasting
Company against the steamer Henry E. Bishop
and the steamer against the company after GER
tain notifications. The company filed libel
against the steamer. alleging that she had
proved incompetent to run to an excursion
point. alleging that her officers persisted in
using improper coal. &c, and claimed over
80. 900 damages and the steamers officers filed
a cross libel for wages.
In the court below the decision was against
the company and the case appealed. The
court said that there was a large mass of testi-
monv taken, by which they found that the COM
panys officers and agents were fully informed
OF the capacity OF the steamer and had every
opportunity to examine and satisfy themselves
a. to the boat and what she could do. They
allege that in consequence of the steamer fail
ing to make schedule time &C., the excursion
business failed and they were put to loss and
forced to abrogate the contract. A summary
OF the number OF passengers showed that the
number was variable. from rs to 825. but did
not bear out the allegations that the
number decreased on account of
failure to keep up to the schedule. The Judge
noted the fact that when making the contract
| the company stated the distance was but fifty
I two miles, when in reality it was sixty-three
miles. and the average speed was tribe over
| fourteen miles per hour. To have made the
! schedule time the steamer would be required
to make twenty miles per hour-a matter of
impossibility.
Judge Hagner said that it was well to know
| that eXcursIonlsts bad some one TO look after
their interests and he read letter OF Inspector
Saville dated July II. 1887, censuring Capt.
White and stating that it had been reported to
! him that the steamers Arrowsmith and Bishop
| we're in the habit of crowding each other on
their trips and it was only five days after when
the Arrowsmith broke down and narrowly es-
capped having loss of life.

DIR. Rankin on Buddhism.

Rev. DR.. j. Z. Rankin, president of Howard
University, in his sermon in the university
chapel yesterday spoke of a recently published
assault upon the claims Of Christianity by
Baron Harden Hickey, and compared Budd-
hism and Christianity. Buddhism" he said,
''does not stir men to activity for the redenp-
ton of his fellow man. Heroism. chivalry,
come from just the conditions which the pessi-
mist would forget; from being identified with
a fallen race. Amid such race the very attri-
butes which humanity worships in Christ could
