day night to see members of his flock who had
got into the custody of the police. VIM. Roll

District line on the Marlboro road, was In
town Saturday night and he took too much to
drink. He bought a British bulldog revolver
in the city and was taking il home. When he
got in the woods near his home he fired the
weapon to see if twas good one. The report
attracted the attention of Officers Branson and
Mari. who arrested him. VIM. Ward and
David Simms were in the wagon with him
and they were also arrested Lloyd Will
liams, Prymus Davis and John Walker were
arrested for being dsorderly on the Hamilton
road. The same policemen arrested them and
alleged that they were disturbing the peace of

elders in the church. All the persons arrested,
except Rollins. were released on IS collateral.
This morning the cases were called in the
Police Court. Rollins was fined IS for being
disorderly and his personal bonds were taken

them to respect.

parting shot, as Judge Drake resumed his

After further discussion DIR. Hamlin's motion

presbytery began the discussion of
THE QUESTION OF REVISION
Rev. DR.. Craighead opened the debate with
a carefully written address. He commended
the fair spirit in which the revision question
had been considered by the religious press
He replied to some of the objections made
against revision that the changes were sug-
gested by the foes of the church,
and that one object of the revision
was to increase the membership Of the church
by bringing in people without close examina-
ton of their principles OF faith. He thought
that the argument that the times were not
ripe for the consideration Of revision and that
it would lead to excitement aud further change
was not we'll taken. But the speaker main
tanned that at no time could changes in estab-
lished institutions be brought about without
excitement He expressed the opinion that a
few drops OF water did not always constitute a
food. He said he was in favor of
such changes in the confession as would
make IL conform to the wise and
conservative progress Of religious and scientific
thought without injuring the present standards
OF the church. He thought that the action Of
the general assembly in sending such overtures
to the presbyteries 10 an indication that
there 10 widespread desire In
the church for revision. While the
general assembly has been criticised for taking
what is called an unprecedented position, yet
the discussion OF the question in the churches
and the action Of the presbyteries are an evil
dence Of the general interest in this subject

KANSAS CORN cRoP.

Varying Reports Regarding Its Coadisson
Received.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 24-Reports
from all parts of Kansas as to the exact
situation of the corn crop are still Is
apparently unsatisfactory as ever. One
county will report excellent prospects
and the next very great damage, while
on the other side will indicate half .
crop.
The most careful estimates show that
the average Of the whole State will
probably be about so per cent OF the
crop of last year. This, however, does
not mean ruin TO the farmer by any
means, for last years crop was enor-
nous.
Reports as to wheat generally agree
that the yield will be fairly good Is to
quantity and away above the average as
to quality. Indeed, it may be said that
no such grade of wheat as that of this
year has ever been known in this State.
Oats are reported panning out better
than had been anticipated and the hay
crop is first class.

LONDON, July 25.-The oil steamer
Manhattan arrived at Dover2 yesterday
and the crew of the Egypt wSre landed
in boats. They were greeted by large
crowd Of spectators and friends and the
scene was an exciting one. The stories
of the survivors of the disaster were
eagerly listened to-
It appears that the fire broke out at
ten o'clock on the night of the 18th.
It was discovered by fireman in the
starboard coal bunker, who promptly
gave the alarm, and the men were
ordered to hose and pumps They
behaved in an orderly manner through
out the trying ordeale Despite their
efforts the flames blazed ferQely and
the fire continued to spread There
seemed to be no chance Of escape, and
the prospect was a most gloomy one.
Many of the cattle on board were suffo-
Gated in their stalls. Numbers of others
were terribly burned before breaking
loose and rushing overheard. The bel
lowing of the suffering animals was
horrible.
At one o'clock, when the men were
nearly exhausted and the fire had COM
plete possession of the steamer, the
German vessel Gustav Oscar, of Ham
burg, bore down upon the Egypt. and
&here was great rejoicing among the fife
Jgsieged crew. Six of the Egypt's boats
were lowered. and by three o'clock all
the crew had been safely transferred to
the Gustav Oscar, whence they watched
the burning Egypt until noon. y
When the Manhattan approached the
Egypt she saw 3he Gustav Oscar giving
signals of distress. Ihe ninety five
men from the Egypt were crowded on
her decks, With hardly room to stand,
and the little vessel was almost sink
ing. The Manhattan quickly lowered
her boats AID transferedst the sufferers
to her own decks. Captain Summers
facets badly burned and his eyes are
much injured. All the Egypt's crew
speak in high praise of their accommo-
dations and treatment on board the
Manhattan.
According to the official statement in
}regard to the burning &C. the steamer
the fire originated in bales Of cotton over
the boiler. The fire soon damaged the
