The Atlantic Oceans Bed.

The floor of the Atlantic ocean is now al
most MS well known to the experts of the
photographic bureaus of the world as the
surface is to the most experienced naviga-
tors. Its depths, currents, tides, ETC., have
been carefully and Systematically studied
from Greenland and Spitzbergen to the
great ice barriers of the antartic circle. |
recently wrote Professor Forbes for some
reliable data on ocean depths and quote
below from portion of his reply;
THE general contour of the Atlantic's
undulating bed may now be regarded MS
pretty well determined. Scarcely
any portion of its floor has depth exceed
ing 10000 fathoms or about 81 miles.
There is a remarkable exception to this last
statement, however, in wonderful sink or
depression lying about 100 miles north of
st. Thomas, an island off the coast of AT
RIGA in the gulf of Guinea.
1.-THE outlines of this depression are sim
liar to those of an old time river bed. The
Challenger expedition traced its meander-
ings for upward of 1000 miles, finding por-
tions of it to be more than a mile deeper
than the surrounding ocean, making the
depth of the Atlantic at those points not
less than ~ miles or about 1878 fathoms."

In the Forty seventh congress there was
another bitter struggle, with many eXcit-

There came near being a riot in Mon
treal last Saturday. The Christian En-
deaYor convention held its annual COLI
vention there. In the course of an adj
dress a converted Hindoo spoke of the
similarity of the worship of heathens in
India and the Catholic religion as the
Catholics worship images of their pa
tron saints an? because of this it was
hard 10 instill the protestant faith.
Montreal is a strong Catholic city and
some of the rOugher element wished TO
mob the convention but the Mayor pro-
vided hundreds of police to protect.
The convention was not neal so large
as the one held last year in New York
City, about 10000 being present. The
gathering of such large conventions le-
presenting all protestant denominations
is having a very imposing effect because
the press of the world recognize it and
publish much Of the convention pre-.
ceedings.

Purging he Pension List.

The Pension Bureau has notified q
great many p%ensiones throughout the
entire country, who are drawing pen
sions under the act of June ~, 1890,
which is known as the Dependent Pen.
sion act, that payment Of their pensions
will be suspended for 60 days, during
which time they are required to show
cause why they should continue to draw
pensions. The testimony necessary TO
prevent their being dropped from the
rolls is the certificate of a reputable
physician, attested by two witnesses, to
the effect that the pensioner is preclud-
ed from active labor owing to injuries
or disability not the result of lis own
vicious habits.
In case no attention is paid to the
Department notification within 60 days
the pensioner will be dropped from the
roll. On the other hand, should the
necessary certificate, properly drawn up
and signed, he forwarded to the Pen.
sion Bureau, the pensioner will be re.
qucsted to appear before the local Board
of Medical Examiners for examination
as to his condition.
THIS action Is pursuant to the recent
ruling OF Secretary Smith to the effect
that a peusioner, under the act of June
p, 1880, drawing a pension for total
disability, must be shown to be physi.
ca!ly incapable Of manual labor. The
Board OF Review appointed TO carry in.
to effect that decision is now going
over all Of the cases of June q, 1890,
probably 0 1900 in number, and select
ing those cases which show in the re-
cord that the pensioner may not be in.
capacitated for manual labor.
In the cases thus selected the PEN
siouers are notified, as before stated.
TO prove their total disability to the De-
partment or cease TO draw pensions.
Under Secretary Smiths ruling the De.
partment holds that a man who can
work should not draw a pension for
total disability. II is estimated at the
Pension Office, although the work has
but recently been begun, that some
thing over 1000 suspensions have al.
ready been made.

Fatal Accident.

In the forenoon of Monday, Mr. j. d
Cooper left his farm on Ten Mile for the
city, and his three boys renamed behind,
James, A., aged IL; Kenneth, years old
and Linn David, years old. There was
breech- loa1ing shotgun at the house, and
the oldest son requested his father to pro-
cure some cartridges while IN the city. He
had frequently fred the gun, and wanted to
kill some hawks which were towering
around. The youngest boy, in huntiag
around the house found q shell and put 1t IN
the gun unknown to the Others. About
noon the boys were playing with the gun,
and, believing 1t not to be loaded, pointed
it at the youngest brother and pulled the
trigger. The gun was discharged and the
ball entered the cheek and came ont at the
upper part of the head. He only lived ten
minutes after being shot, and his brothers
carried him in the house. laId him on the
bed and ran to the nearest neighbor's Mr..
James Fulton, jr., and gave information OF
the terrible affray. Mr.. Fulton came to
town Immediately and Informed the father,
who, in company with has wife, immedl-
atelY left for the farm. As soon as possible
the remains were brought to this city, ar
irving here about 10 o'clock at night. The

tion. Every seat was occupied, and benches
and chairs had been placed in every avail
able space; but still several were forced to
stand during the service. After the sermon
subscription was taken up, and $3.50, the
remaining debt ON the church, was raised
in less than an hour. In the afternoon at
3 o'clock. Rev. P. Fl. McGuffey delivered a
very impressive discourse to a very atten-
tive audience. At 7:30 O'Clock long ser
vice was held and at s o'clock in the even
ing, Rev. J. 7. Eshelman, of North Yak
Ina, preached one of his earnest, soul-felt
sermons to a crowded house. Thus the
day was fully occupied by devotional exer-
c,ses, and each service was attended by
crowded congregations. The singing OF

1t is proud boast of the 9. o. p
that it is the party of sound and hon.
est money, but when financial seer
like Sherman devises such iniquitous
legislation as that which bears his
name, and Republican from a rock
ribbed state like Michigan refuses to
help repeal the measure, the distance
between the Populists and the ratified
Republicans does not seem so far after
all;-Detroit Free Press.
The Free Press is not wise, or ii
would not raise such questions as ii
does. In the first place Sherman did
not "devise the measure which bears
his name" but he Is among the lead
ers asking for its repeal. He asked it
year ago and no Democrats seconded
it. Besides all that the record OF
the recent vote shows that Ill Demo-
Gratis and 19 Republicans voted for
free coinage, while ITO Republicans
and ll6 Democrats voted against it.
The Democracy have 80 majority in
the house, and yet the friends of sound
money were dependent upon Republi-
cans for the defeat of the measure.
