And Now for the Future
"What are your teachings regarding
the millennium? I asked.

We are in the fingers and toes of the

until the transformation--the Judgment

into the clouds from out of harm's way
and the wicked, who shall remain, will
then be consumed with ar electrical fire

earth will then be remodeled, be
transformed into a new and grand garden

up their abode here for another thous-

milk and wild honey and everyone will
be supremely happy"
A ringing of the doorbell at this mo-
ment disturbed our conversation, and
Mrs. Williams arose and admitted several
ladies, all heavily yelled. The ladies
bowed low and were shown into the

ately rejoined me. AS [ arose to go she

solicitude- I little dreamed of what was
to happen. She led me across the room.
and, placing her hands on my head, she
stood behind me and pressed me down
on my knees. Then she began:
"Dear Lord, here he is. A sinner who
desires to see the truth. Openshis eyes

Mrs. Williams with some irritation.

Deputies.
ROME, Dec. 20.-The Italian Chamber
of Deputies was crowded to-day, and
much interest was manifested in the Gov
ernment's declaration Of its policy. After
the policy Of the Ministry had been an
nounced, workman named Angloetti,
from the gallery cried: This is the regu-
lar African kraai." A scene of commo-
ton followed, during which Angloetti
was removed from the gallery by the po-
lice, wildly shoting: Thieves! Robbers! !!
Down with the pillagers! Death to pub
lie thievesn' The gallery evidently con-
tanned some people III sympathy with the
work man, for cries Of Let him alone ~
was heard.
The Vice President of the Chamber an
nounced the resignation of Slgnor Zanar-
deli, Crispi and other prominent MEM
bers of the Chamber OF Deputies, lnclud-
ing that Of Marquis di Rudini.
Admiral Brin urged that the resigna-
tions be not accepted, whereupon they
were rejected almost unanimously, only
few Socialists prOnouncing themselves
against the motion.
Vice. President Villa then read a dis
patch from the Italian Chamber Of Dep
uties to the French Chamber, expressing
sympathy with the French Chamb Der
upon the recent bomb outrage in Paris.
Agnini, in behalf of the Socialists, de-
clared that the Socialists would not join
in the message Of sympathy, in view of
the attitude of certain members Of the
French Chamber at the time of the Four
mics affair.
The Conservatives protested strongly
against this opposition.

Its Affairs Said to Have Reached q
Critical stage.
New YORK, Dec. 2I.-The World this
Thursday morning says: With the close
of the year the affairs of the Atchison,
Topeka dG Santa Fe Railroad Company
have approached critical stage. and
with the papers all drawn for that pur-
pose, an hours work may see the system
follow the example of so many great
lines in the near past, in slipping away
from the assaults OF pressing creditors
behind the wing Of the court, with
friendly receivers in charge. The death
OF Banker George c. Magoun, last night,
will probable determine that result.
The fate Of the road hangs on the deci-
sion Of the foreign security holders. and
their interests are concentrated in the
English house of the Barings, represented
on this side by Barring, Magoun y Co.
This Barring is the head of the firm, but
George G. Magoun was long the head Of
the American house. His knowledge OF
the intricate finances of the Atchison
system has been most thorough. 1t is in
his Office that President Reinhart, with
Mr.. Magoun by his side, decided upon
all financial questions as they arose in
the conduct of this enormous corporation,
with its more than $3.50, 900 of liabili-
ties outstanding. With Mr.. Magoun in
charge OF the home firm OF the Barings
they felt their interests in the Atchison
well protected, and on his advice fnan-
cial help has flowed in very steady
stream from the English Golfers into the
Atchison's bank account.

REGISTRATION OF CHINESE.

Collector WellbOrn Receives Instruc-

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 90 Collector
Wellborn has received his instructions
about the registration of the Chinese un-
der the McCreary Act. He is ordered to
give public notice at once to the Chinese
that they must register, and is allowed
twenty-seven deputies, one Interpreter
and one stenographer as assistants, and
for this purpose he has been allowed an
extra appropriation OF $4,000. The Col
lector had requested an appropriation OF
$40, 900, and if the Chinese register in the
numbers expected the force of clerks
allowed will be inadequate to do the
work. Registration will not commence
until next week, as time is required to
distribute the clerks over the district,
and make other necessary arrangements.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
STOCKTON, Dec. 20.-Henry Hamilton,
a wealthy West Side farmer, who lives
near Westley. forty miles from this city,
was shockingly mangled Monday by be-
ing run over by cultivator drawn by
eight frightened mules. The left side Of
his head was crushed, the bone pressing
into the brain. His right arm was broken
just above the wrist, and the left hand
was so badly cut that it required nine
stitches to bring the flesh together. In
addition to the terrible injuries he was
badly bruised and cut in several places,
the wonder being that he was not in
stantly killed.
Mr.. Hamilton was engaged in starting
his men out with the cultivator, when the
mules started to run away. He was
thrown down and caught by the steel
teeth Of the machine and rolled over and
over under the heavy implement.
The surgeon removed piece of the left
temporal bone about two inches square,
ahd raised the skull on the left side, where
there was bad depression on the brain,
Pieces of bone had been driven into the
brain, and these were carefully removed,
leaving an opening in the side of his
head.
Hamilton died from the effects of his
injuries last night.

Will mature within the fiscal year 1885,"
The Secretary then reviews the legisla-
tic1 with reference to the Pacific Rail-
roads, and briefly states the financial af-
fairs OF the company, as heretofore pub
lished, and closes with the following rec
ommendation:
fe)n account of the approaching ma
turi5y of both classes of these bonds and
the magnitude Of the interests involved,
respectfully submit that the subject
should receive the early and earnest con-
sideration of Congress, with view to the
adoption OF some plan which Will more
certainly secure the ultimate payment OF
this Indebtedness to the Government, ana
at the same time permit the companies to
conduct the business for which they were
created, under such limitations and re-
strictions as to management and expendi-
tures as may be considered necessary to
protect the rights of all parties Interested
i'll the property.
1T would be very unfortunate, in my
opinion, if the Government should be
forced by any Ombination of circum-
stances 10 take possession of and operate
these lines of railway, and every reason
able effort should be made by all parties
TO avoid such result"
COMMENTS ON THE REPORT.
New YORK, Dec 20.-Henry w. Can
non, President OF the Chase National
Bank, said: II have read with great in
terest Carlisle's recommendations re-
garding the issue of bonds. 1t is clear
from his report the Government not only
needs larger coin reserve, but also re-
quires money for current expenses. 1t
seems imperative the Secretary should be
permitted to borrow money, and have no
doubt Congress will pass the necessary
legislation permitting him to borrow on
short time at the best rates Obtainable. The
country needs and expects a definite
policy in regard to this matter. The Sec
rotary should be given authority to in
crease his coin reserve as he suggests,
and also to provide the necessary funds
for carrying Or the Government by bor-
rowing rather than increasing our taxa
tion to large extent"
Cannon's remarks are very generally
concurred in by the other bank officers.
Some disappointment is expressed by
bankers generally at Carlisle's indefinite
statement in regard to the coinage of the
silver seigniorage. His statement is re-
garded as an indirect recommendation
that the seigniOrage will be coined, al
though he distinctly stated to the bankers
here he would not do so.
