couatry, subjected to great hard
ships and privations, and surround
ed by pltiless savagss and unbrok'
ca forests, it was not strange tina
imagination should have been un
healthfully excited and religious
judgment warped.
From SO early period as that
ia which ths Witch OF Endor had
been invoked up through the more
enlightened erss belief in demon
ology WAS general. In the csntu-
ries just preceding the seventeenth
many eminent scientists, phileso'
piers and religious teachers had
been accused OF association with
the supernatural, or had denoun-
ced others as in league with the
powers OF darkness. Luther be-
lieved in witchcrsft; Tysho Brahe,
the great astronomer, was supposed
to receive revelations from the spir
It world, and Kspler was an sstrol-
oglst. Joan of Arc AID many
others met death because of their
supposed supernatural powers.
During the seventeenth century a
number of persons were put to death
in England as witches.
Before the outbreak at Salem
men aud women were burned or
hanged for witchcrait at Boston,
Hartford, Conn, and other places
in New England, and William Penn
instigated and presided at the trial
OF Two women supposed to be witch
es. A tschnicality alone saved the
City OF Brotherly Love from hor-
ror similar to that perpetrated later
in Salem. Baxter, he OF Saints
Rest" memory, corresponded with
aud encouraged Increase and Cot
ton Mather in THAR proceedings
against those who were supposed
to bs the earthly agents of the dev-
il, and the rulings of such eminent
English jurists .s Sir Matthew
Hale and Sir Edward Coke in witch
trials in England formed prscedents
for the prosecutions and persscu-
tiens in the Bay State.

inco@e Is supposed to be moro

it was of superior quality aud at

has now in this place immense
works which employ thousands Of
hands and he has put up for his
employees sanitary cottages and has
built churches and schools for them.
He has never had a strike and his
people all like HIM. He has other
works OF various kinds in England
and his IN vsstments in Chill extend

An illustration of the consequence
of such illegal divorces is now fur

FIRE LAST NIGHT
Howell & Gniespie's Grocery Wrecked
 Work of an Incendiary.


 Last spring the fires in the city oc- cured at about 9:3O o'clock. This fall the fire bugs are not quite so brave, as it is evident they have selected the midnight hour, while black darkness sits lowering over a still and pulseless world. Last night at 1:30 o'clock fire was discovered in the rear of the grocery store oi Howell & Gillespie, on the corner oi Main and Sixth avenue, just across Sixth from the Main Street Metho- dist Church The fire service re. sponded promptly to the call and did good work. The water pressure was never better, yet with all these advantages the fire had made such headwax before discovered, that this morning the building and contents. with only the naked and charred walls standing, is q total wreck. The fire originated in the rear end of the building. and was evidently the work of incendiaries, who first burg larized the store-room, obtained all the goods they could manage and then set the house on fire to hide any signs that might lead to their dast- ardly and cowardly crime The stock of goods, amounting to over S2,0O0, owned by E. A. Howell and W. A. Gillespie was ruined by the fire and water, The building. which also was insured, the property of Mrs. Bryant. is 3 complete wreck. Messrs Howell X Gillespie were doing q thriving business, and We sympa- thize with them in their misfortune. We dc earnestly pray that=our city may, by some means, get rid of these fire devils.
