MT. UNION COLLEGE.
A Budget of News From the Educa-
tional Institution.
Something in Regard to the Biblical
Chair which a Canton Man Helped to
Establish---other Matters.

The following special from MI. Union
will be of much interest here This insti-
tuition continues to make steady steps
| of progress. Last year the enroll
ment was greater than for many years,
numbering $50 different students. There
were 103 graduates from all departments,
| twcnty-three being from the regular collie
giate courses. The attendance this year
shows gratifying increase. There is y
| manifest gain in quality as well as guam
tity. There is q marked religious spirit
among the students and gain in the
number contemplating entering the min
istry. The curriculum has been stiifen-
ed being put upon the same basis
substantially as that of the best
colleges in this region. The graduates
take as high rank as those of lead
ing institutions. Professor Buell., of Bos-
ton Theological school, lately wrote:
"Mouut Union furnishes us some of our
best Students The new gymnasium and
laboratory is one of the handsomest col
lege ediflces in the State of Ohio, Mill.
.tary equipment has been provided for the
students. Col. George II. Gyger of the
Eighth Ohio National Guard is command
er of the battalion. Prof. j. G. Scover of
Cleveland has been lately secured as pro.
fessor of elocution. He brings with him
years of successful experience. Steady
growth is marked i'm endowment move-
ments. The first S100, 900 is near at hand.
Miss Adelia c. Phelps, lately of New York,
Is bringing the art department to the front.
A decided acquisition to the many ad-
vantages is the actual systematic instruc-
ton in the English Bible, given by Rev.
Hiram N. Kellogg, Phi. d. The biblical
chair was established by Bishop Vincent,
Hon. Lewis Miller and Jacob Miller. They
had decided to secure DR.. Kellogg for that
chair If possible The sudden death of ia
cob Miller caused unexpected delay.
There appears, however, sort of Provi-
dence in the appointment Of DIR. Kellogg
to the pastorate of Mt. Union church. He
has kindly consented to take up the work
of that chair in connection with his pas
torate. He now has a class of more than
fifty students. He gives regular, system
attic instruction in the English Bible.
The students use DR.. Steele's outlines
of Bible study. DIR. Kellogg, however,
greatly supplements this by taking this
class into rich fields of biblical instruc-
ton. He will be assisted by lectures from
able ministers and others. The teaching
OF the English Bible in college courses
has been much talked of, but little realiz-
ed. Mount Union is to be congratulated
on successful realization of the idea.
DR.. Kellogg is making fine impression
as q preacher and also as teacher. He
is just the man for the place.

He Talks With Three Condemned Men,
and Also With Hiram Bahney, Of Mas
sillon.
Sheriff Charles A. Krider and party have
returned from Columbus, whittier they
escorted six Stark county offenders to the
penitentiary. While in the penitentiary
the sheriff visited Isaac Smith, Blair, of
Putnam county, and Jones, of Lake coun-
ty, all under sentence of death. Smith
is in very detected mood. The execu'
ton of Popp and Sharkey seems to have
shattered his nerves to a great extent.
While he still has hopes that his sentence
will be commuted, he fears that the Gov
ernor will refuse to come to his rescue
again.
Jones, the Painesville murderer,is bear
ing up bravely. Proceedings for a new
trial are pending, and he hopes to have
the matter decided in his favor.
Blair is the dare devil of the trio. Moth.
ing seems to disturb his equanimity, and
he jokingly refers to his approaching ex'
ecution.
Sheriff Krider also talked for some time
with Hiram Bahney, of Massillon, under
life sentence for rape. Bahney is looking
and feeling well, and hopes TO regain his
liberty soon. A petition to the Board OF
Pardons has been submitted, containing
the names of hundreds of the best citizens
of Massillon, asking that Bahney be par.
doned. He has been in the penitentiary
for more than eleven years.

Heart Of the Great City---Loss Report

BY Cabie to the News Democrat.


BY Cable to the News Democrat
LONDON, Dec. 30.--A terrible confagra.
ton has broken out on Queen Victoria
and Thames streets, intersecting all the
thoroughfares in the great business quar-
ter of the city. large number Of ware
houses are already on fire, and the flames
are rapidly spreading. The general alarm
is sounded. Fourteen engines already
have responded to the alarm, and others
are hurrying to the scene. A high wind
prevails has thus far rendered futile all
efforts of the fremen to prevent the
spread of the flames, or even keep the
raging element under any sort of control.
A large paper warehouse, a number of
fancy goods stores ard the Gulchcr engi-
neerinR works are already destroyed. The
great fur emporium of Revillon Freres
has been reached by the fire and is DOOM
ed. The fire is now rapidly forking out
toward the building occupied by the Off
GERS of the Salvation Army.
An enormous throng of people assem-
bled here, give the police plenty of work
in keeping then back from danger, from
the crumbling masonry.
As the flames shoot out towards the
Salvation Army quarters they fltfully and
ominously play across and illuminate the
great sign in front of building which
bears the legend, Blood and Fire.
This locality in London is near South
Ward bridge and only two squares from
ST. Pauls Cathedral. Maiden Lane, Can
non street, and Mension House tation
are close by. The loss will be $25, ,O0O, 600.
LATER DISPATCH.
The fire is still spreading and panic
prevails. The fire department is paralyz-
ed. The loss is likely to reach fifty mil
lou dollars.
