The Christian Name.

The term Christian name" is used in
England and America only. sBaptismal
name" is used in other countries. The
terms seems to have been used first after
the reformation, when Biblical names
We're used as a reaction against the use
Of the saints names in the calendar. It
is evident that all Biblical names are net
Christian, but the reaction went SO far
as to consider every thing in the Bible as
Christian and every thing not in the BIZ
BILE as pagan or certainly nonchriistian.

Successful Launching ofthe Great
BattIeship Indiana.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2S.-The great
battle ship Indiana was successfully
launched today at the shipyard of
the William Cramp 81 Sons company in
the presence of thousands of people,
among them the president of the United
States, the secretary of the navy and
other members of the cabinet and OF a
large delegation of congressman who
arrived from Washington this morn
ing on special train. Among
the visitors were Secretary OF the
Navy Tracy, Postmaster General
Wanamaker, Attorney General Miller,
and his daughter, Miss Jessie, the fair
chrstener. The party was met by
Charles II. Cramp and escorted TO the
raised platform at the bow Of the In
diana, the president and Mr.. Cramp
walking arm in arm. Rain and hail
were falling in torrents and the weather
could not have been more disagreeable.
An awning over the platform, however,
protected them from the elements. The
guests stood on the platform for three
quarters of an hour, while workmen
knocked away and sawed the supports
from under the battle ship. Hydraulic
jacks were in readiness at the bow for
use. should the ship stick, but these
were not needed, and at 12 :45 p. IN. the
vessel glided slowly down the ways. She
settled beautifully in the water, and
reached midstream before the anchors
were cast. In a short time she was
mOOred to the wharves, where are also
the partially completed cruisers New
York and Columbia. Miss Jessie Miller,
the twenty-year-old daughter of At
torney General Miller, gracefully per-
formed the act of christening. The in
clement weather did not materially re-
duce the size of the crowd, for it num-
bered fully 10000 people. After the
launch the presidential party were
escorted to the Office of the company,
where an informal banquet was given.
President Harrison did not make any
address, nor did any other person pres
ent.
The Indiana Is the eighth war ship
that the Cramps have launched, and is
the largest ever sent from their ways.
The Indiana is designed especially as a
vessel to fight, and to do no running

VIENNA, Feb. 2S.-A terrible calamity
has oyertaken the village of Gergely,

their homes disappear in the raging
stream, and the swelling waters began
to beat against the church and

would mean the destruction of all of
them, while If they fed. some at least
might escape. Opening the doors, they
started out into the flood, which surged
nearly to the waists of the grown-up
people. Fathers and mothers carried
their children, and the sick and feeble

stronger. They fled as fast as they
could in the direction Of Paks.
One mother with five children sank
in the waters and persisted. Many 9TH

known, were drowned in the flood, and
the survivors reached Paks in most
