LONDON, Dec. Efforts are being made
to recover the bodies OF those VINO were
killed in the gas explosion in Blackburn
market yesterday, when three houses were
blown to pieces. The ruins caught fire and
burned with such rapidity that for a time

an inextricable mass, and the work Of re-
covery is neces ssarily slow. Already nine
bodies have been recovered. 1t is pretty
certain that larger number are still in
the ruins. The people injured by flying
debris are progressing favorably.

NEwBURGH, N. Y, Dec. 1.-The large
4-story building known as the ohildren's
department of the Convent of Our Lady of
Mercy, was destroyed by fire this morning
A milkman making his morning rounds at
daybreak saw flames pouring out of the
east windows OF the first story. There were
250 boys asleep on the third and fourth
floors. The building was 100 feet long and
so feet wide, with an annex. The whole
eastern end seemed to the miikman to be on
fire. be alarmed the fourteen sisters asleep
in the convent, which is a separate building
and they hurried to the rescue of the sleeping
lads There appears to have been no watch-
man on duty. Two Of the nurses and a
man who had charge of the boys were
soundly sleeping when the sisters came into
the building to get out the boys.
THE WORK OF RESCUE.
The sisters as well as t1e children had
often been instructed what to do in case OF
fire. They went to every room In the
building known to be occupied and aroused
the seepers. Smoke was pouring into some
of the dormitories. Some of the little fell
lows were only years old, yet there was
no panic. The building had fire escapes and
In very few moments all were out of
danger. The larger boys and sisters
carried out the smaller children. Many OF
them had nothing on but their night shirts
but most of them saved their clothing
Nothing but some benches and tables were
saved. Those without clothes were taken
into the homes Of neighbors at once. The
sisters say that the children had scarcely
got out of the building before the flames
had seized upon every part of 1t. Nothing
but the walls were left.

TERMINAL SLUMPS AGAIN

Preferred stockholders VIII Try 20
Scoop in the Richmond and Dam
vile.
New York, Dec. This has been q dis.
NAL day for everybody interested In the
Richmond Terminal Company, and espe-
cially for the holders of the common stock.
That choice specimen Of stock exchange
commodities sold down to 91f, the lowesb
price it has ever touched, and was at this
low water mark when the gong sounded ab
o'clock. Wall street is always ready with
explanations Of unusual occurrences, and
the reasons for to-day's bad break in Termi-
nal were in abundant circulation, and some
OF the stories were very unsavory.
AN ASSESSMENT SCARE.
One was that the advisory COMMITTEES OF
able tinanciers nominated the other day to
examine into the Terminal affairs and
formulate plan for the permanent adjust
ment Of its finances had made a preliminary
Investigation and given the opinion that an
assessment of $40 a share on the common
stock OF the Terminal would be absolutely
IL
created general alarm. and the stock In
consequence tumbled heels over head
MOVE TO CAPTURE THE DANyILLE.
Another story, often repeated to-day, was
that the Terminal preferred stockholders
had determined to bond themselves to-
gether and take legal steps to control the
Richmond and DanYile stock which they
claim is deposited In trust for the security.
II they succeeded In such an effort 1t would
practically take the railroad out Of the
hands OF the Terminal company, and put IL
In charge Of the Terminal preferred stock
holders, and this would make a nice kettle
OF fish. The thing that gave most color to
this story was that one-fourth per cent was
freely bid In the open market for proxies on
Terminal preferred stock for use at the ap-
preaching annual NEE ting. Various law
yers are said to have bsen consulted by
Terminal preferred stockholders, and some
legal opinions encourage them in the pro-
gramme to capture the Richmond and Dans
Vile.
NEW ISSUE OF BONDS.
Still another story, and to my mind the
most plausible one. is that the advisory
committee will advise an additional issue
OF Terminal per cent. bonds, which shall
be underwritten by strong syndicate Of
American and foreign bankers, and the
proceeds from the sale Of said bonds to be
used to buy from the various subordinate
companies Of the Terminal system the uu>
sold securities they have in their several
treasures and then deposit those very
securities in trust as collateral for the Ter
minal bonds issued to acquire them. This
plan would enable the subordinate COM
panies to pay Off all their floating debts and
give them handsome surplus. NJ J.V.

"GENESlS FIFTY-ONE."
a Spurious Chapter That Has Puzzled
Biblical Scholars for Years.


For the past 500 or 600 years the follow
ing so called Genesis Fifty-one" has been
a puzzle to Biblical scholars; and today,
were it read aloud in any mixed company,
! it is questionable if its fraudulent nature
would be discovered, so beautiful is the
spirit and language of the Old Testament
initiated Below we give this unique
fraud in full:
l. And it came TO pass after these things
/ that Abraham sat in the door of his tent at
! about the going down of the sun.
?. And behold a man, bowed with age,
I came from the way OF the wilderness, lean
/ ing on a staff
3. And Abraham arose and met him and
/ said unto him, Turn in, l pray thee, and
/ wash thy feet, and tarry all night, and
thou shalt arise early on the morrow and
/ 60 thy way.
/ 4. But the man said, Nay, for will abide
under this tree
5. And Abraham pressed him greatly, so
he turned and they went into the tent; and
Abraham broke unleavened bread, and
they did eat.
6. And when Abraham saw that the man
blessed not God, he said unto him, Where
fore doest thou not worship the most high
God, creator of heaven and earth?
:. And the man answered and said, do
not worship the God thou speakest of,
neither do l call upon his name, for have
made TO myself a god which abideth al
ways in my house and provideth me with
all things.
S And AbUaham's anger was kindled
against that man for what he had said, and
he arose and drove him forth with blows
into the wilderness.
6. And at midnight God called upon
Abraham, saying, Abraham, where is the
stranger that came by the way of the tent
at the going down of the sun.
10. And Abraham answered and said,
Lord, he would not worship thee, neither
would he call upon thy name. therefore I
have driven him out from before my face
into the wilderness.
II. And God said, Have ! not borne with
him these hundred ard ninety and eight
years, and nourshed him, and clothed him,
notwithstanding he has rebelled against
me2 Couldst thou not, thee myself being
sinner, bear with him one nights
Il. And Abraham said, let not the an
ger Of my Lord wax against his servant.
Lo. l have sinned; forgive ne .pray Of
thee
Is And Abraham arose and went forth
into the wilderness aud sought diligently
for the man until be had found him and
returned with him 70 the tent, and when
he had entertained him kindly he sent him
away on the morrow with many gifts.
Il And God spake again unto Abraham,
saying, for this thy sin against the stranger,
thy seed shall be afflicted 400 years in q
strange land.
10. But, for thy repentance, viii I deliver
them, and they shall come forth with
power and with G,adness Of heart.
