MAX MUELLER ON RELIGION.
A Paper Read in the worl's Parliament AZ
Chicago.

Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-One of the most in
teresting papers read at the Worlds
Parliament of Religions was that written
by Max Mueller. 1t was read by DR.. Bur
rows and was somewhat abstruse and in
volved, its title being Greek Philosophy
and the Christian Religion" but it was
followed with close attention. Among
other things it said: "What have aimed
at in my Clifford lectures on re-
ligion is to slow that all re-
ligions are natural What hope for is
not simply a reform but complete revival
OF religion, more particularly Of the
Christian religion.
u had often asked myself the question
how independent thinkers and honest men
like SITS. Clement and Origen came to en-
brace Christianity and to elaborate the
first system of Christian theology There
was nothing to induce them to accept
Christianity or to cling to it if they had
found it in any way irreconcilable with
their philosophical convictions. They were
philosophers first, Christians afterwards
They had nothing to gain, and much to
lose, by joining and remaining in this new
sect of Christians" In conclusion he said
that if we wanted to be true Christians we
must go back to those earliest anti-Nicene
authorities, the true fathers Of the church
Thus only can we use the words, "In the
beginning was the word and the word be-
came flesh" rs honest thinkers and be-
levers.
lntolerent pastors were given some hard
knocks by noted Armenian theologian,
Professor Minas Tcheraz. He said that
oftentimes the flocks were anxious to pas
ture together, but it was the shepherds that
kept them apart. 1t was the pastor, the
shepherd, that brandished their crooks at
each other and kept the distance between
the nations undiminished. Tolerance, he
said, would eventually solve the question
and bring all the religions into one family.

THE HORROR NEAR MANTENo.
Second Train Was Duly Flagged-Correct
List of the Dead.


List of the Dead.
CHICAGO, Sept. 20-The wounded of the
wreck of the Big Four train near Manteno,
this state, are all in hospitals in this city
and it is not believed that any will die.
The correct list of the dead numbers eight
and is as follows: Emil Kimmel, Dayton,
o.; J. w. Powell, New Vienna, O.; L. l..
Sweet, Louisville, Ky; David Jackson,
Carmel, o; Minnie DIVERS, Lower Albany,
Ind; Miss o. Edwards, Chicago; Charles
Deckendasher, Columbus; Jacob Simpson,
blacksmith, Columbus.
The list of injured was correctly given
in these dispatches yesterday as far at it
went, but there were these others: VIM
Blair, Indianapolis, bad cuts and bruises;
Mrs. VIM. Evans, Powellton, W. Va, bad
contusions; Mrs. and Miss Hamilton,
Columbus, o.
A telegram from Indianapolis says the
train crews have arrived there, including
the missing hagman, and that half a
dozen witnesses say they saw the flagman,
brakeman named o. C. Duncan, Jump
from the first train and run back to flag
the second. They also saw him come back
after tagging the train, and he had time
to get back a quarter of mile. Duncan
says he tagged the train and that it an
swered his signal, but how it came that it
did not slow up sufficiently he does not
know. The only explanation given by
second train men is that the train was 60
ing too fast TO stop. They say the en-
gineer saw the signal.
The primary cause of the wreck was. it
seems that there was no water at Kanka-
kee, and that on that account the first sec
tion of the train had to stop at Manteno.
