LESSON SURROUNDINGS.

INTERVENING EvENTs.-There are two
views of the chronological position Of
John 9 Il to 10 81. One connects
the passage with the feast of taber-
nacles, the other places it just before
the feast of dedication. On the TO- mer
view, there are no intervening events
recorded, though there is some differ
ence of opinion as to the length of the
interval. The latter view if favored by
the marginal reading In John 10 %
("At that time was the feast of dedIca-
TOM, but this is not decisive. If the
healing of the blind man occurred Just
before the latter feast, the intervening
events are those recorded by Luke
luke 9 81 to 10 81. Yet there are
many opinions as to the distribution of
these events: l. Ii our Lord did not
return to Galilee, then Luke 9 81 TO
10 16 should be placed before the last
two lessons. 2. Ii Luke IL IA to Is /:
9 belongs to an earlier part of the
Calilean ministry, as Robinson holds,
then this passage also must be exclud.
ed from the intervening narrative. The
same questions arise in q modified form
on the theory that the lesson occurred
Just after q feast of tabernacles. In
that case the discussion is regarding
the number of events to be placed be-
tween the feast of dedication and the
raising of Lazarus; that Is, between the
last lesson of this quarter and the first
one of the fourth quarter.
PLAcEs.-At Jerusalem. The blind
man may have been sitting lear n of
the temple gates, as beggars were wont
to do. The pool of Sloan is at the
mouth Of the Tyrop@on valley (the
upper of two pools), and is fed by o
subterranean passage from the so-called
Fountain of the Virgin. Where our
Lord afterwards met the healed man is
not stated, but probably not far from
the temple.
TIME.-Either the first Sabbath after
the feast of tabernacles, shortly after
October IS, or Immediately before the
feast OF dedication, in December, the
year being A. U. @. 1872; that is, A. d.
20. Probably all the events occurred
on the same day.
PERSONS. Our Lord; his disciples; a
blind man Ia beggar); the neighbors Of
the blind man.
INCIDENTS. The meeting with the
blind man; the question of the disciples
as to whose sin had caused the blind
ness; our Lords reply, intimating the
healing and its lesson; the amounting of
the eyes of the blind man; he is sent to
Sloan, and returns cured. The neigh
bors discuss the identity of the man;
he explains how Jesus opened his eyes.
After he had been cast out of the syn
agogue, by the Jews, for his bold state
ment respecting his cure, Jesus finds
him, and asks him if he believes on the
Son of God. Asking who he is, the
man is told that Jesus is the person
meant. He avows his belief, and
worshios our Lord.

The police were notified of an unsuc-

Hattie Mcconnell, a nurse, was attend

half past two O'Clock when an old
woman, with sloping shoulders, and

black jacket and white cap entered the
yard and noticing that the nurse was

by the arm and attempted to make away
with it.
The nurse gave chase and overlook the
woman at the gate. and seizing her dress

The woman turned on the nurse, dealt
her a blow in the face which Knocked her

DEATH ELUDED HIM.
A Strange Old Man Makes Two Re-
markable Attempts at
Suicide.

A rather novel way out Of the world
was tried last night by an unknown old
man He was we'll built and well
dressed, and about sixty years old He
had long gray beard.
He boarded Montgomery street car
going up and drawn by electric motor No.
BIG at varick street at about fifteen
minutes after seven last night, and for a
few minutes stood upon the rear steps of
the car on the left hand side.
When speed Of the car had increased to
the limit the man leaned out aud ooked
nervously up the track toward the hill.
Motor No. 1926 was coming down the hill
and the mans nervousness increased as
the motors approached each other. When
they were about twenty feet apart and
had reached a spot about a block below
the trestle, he released his hold on the
car rail and jumped from the step toward
the down track, falling directly In the
way of the descending engine.
The gripman on No. 326 threw off the
current and applied the brakes, and the
car was brought to a stop, almost touch
ing the mans body, The other motor was
sisted to his feet and the dust brushed
from his clothes. He was assisted upon
Motor No. 3l6. which went on its way.
When the trestle was reached the old
man jumped from the car. climbed no
one Of the stone piers supporting the
trestle ard went to a point about
one hundred feet from Montgom-
cry street towards Grand street
where, stepping TO the edge of the trestle,
he lifted his arms obove his head and
threw himself to the ground, which is
about thirty feet below
He landed upon his back. The ground
is wet and spoDgy at this part Of the
meadows, which condition saved the man
from any serious injury. for two men who
hurried to the spot assisted the old fellow
to his feet and found that he was able to
walk. He went away without giving his
name or the reasons for mis- conduct.

A Case that Annoys United States Express
Company Employees.
John Staples, until recently a driver
employed by the United S6ates Express
Company, is missing. and it is rumored
that he has taken $3.50 of the company's
money with him.
The story goes that on Thursday of last
week Staples collected G. o. D. charge
of $3.50 in West Eleventh street, New
York. He then drove his wagon into
Mercer street, and jumping opt told the
helper he would return soon. The helper
waited for some hours, and finally drove
TO the stables in this CITY and reported
1t was supposed that Staples had been
suddenly taken i'll and had been sent to
his home. As he had been in the employ
of the company two years it YVES not sus-
pected that anything was wrong.
Through some carelessness In the New
York Office the alleged theft was not dis
covered until Tuesday last. and the COM
pany's agents are keeping very dark about
1t.
If Staples has really made away with
the money II will be the first case under
the new system by which the company
bonds drivers OF the large wagons for $500
and drivers of small wagons for
$500. From the wages OF the for
mer S. 40 year Is deducted and
from that of the others $3.50. The
amounts so deducted are turned into
a special fund from which all losses OF
the company are taken. eIf at the end or
the year any of the fund remains, it Is di-
vided among the bonded employees. AT
the offices of the company in this city
yesterday no information could be OBJ
tanned concerning the matter. The
bonded employees are decidedly opposed
to this plan, by which honest employees

The Grand Jury Makes Prcsentment
Regarding County Institution.
The Grand Jury yesterday handed to
judge Iippinc OFT the presentment given

II was said by a man well posted on the
workings Of the Grand Jury that among
the indictments were some against Fred
erick Walbaum, James Brown and Ed
ward Stanley. for making books at the
Gutenberg race track. aud against II. X.
Jacobs and Sigfried Cronheim for giving
Sunday performances at their theatres.
This information could not be corrobo-
rated. Assistant Prosecutor Noonan said
In Just the same tone be would use when
telling the truth that he absolutely knew
nothing about 1t. He did not know tina
indictments had been found, and he did
not know indictments had not been

ignorant. This was an awful confession
for brilliant man to make.
Clerk Kelleher of the Court OF Sessions
was equally blessed with a lack OF
knowledge. although he had possession
of the baUch of indictments. He refused
to say whether the men mentioned were
in dicted or not.
The presentment read thus:-"The

Court visited the county institutions. We
found the Penitentiary and Almshouse in

A Pretty Cantata Given Under Prof.
Roberts Loadership.
A cantata entitled "The Flower Queen"
was given at Kessler's Hall last night
under the direction of Prof L. l.. Roberts,

queen encounter a recluse who learns
from them the delights of duty. During
the cantata there were some very pretty
groupings and posings. The cantata was
Ihickly interspersed with delightful
duets and solos.
The part of the Recluse was taken by
Pref. Roberts. Miss Ida Fletcher, i'm
as the flower she represented. The per-
soniheation of the other flowers were as
follows
Sun-flower, Miss Beth Spinning; Crocus,
Miss Efiie Breslin; Dahlia, Miss Minnie
Grimm; Dandelion. Miss Edna Edwards;
Heliotrope, Miss Edith Platt; Touch Me-
Not, Miss Lillian PoetZ. Lily, Miss Flor
ence Tirrel; Hollyhock, Miss Ida Stendel;
Japanica. Miss Carrie Stang; Violet, Miss
Birdie Rochester; Mignonette, Miss
Estella Froud; Tulip, Miss Mabel Soria.
Prof. GuiIford, who arranged the affair.
deserves great credit and is to be COM
plimented upon its success. The cantata
will be repeated tonight.
