THE CARDINALS SERMON.
Gibbons Talks ON "Rending of the
Holy Scriptures"

BALTIMORE, Nd, March 3-Cardinal
Gibbons preached the sermon to-day in the
cathedral here. There was the large con-
gregation usual on occasions when it is
known that his Enlinence will be in the
pulpit. The Reading of the Holy Scrip
tures,'' was the subject. He said:
The word of God is an inexhaustible
treasury of heavenly science. 1t Is the only
oracle that discloses to the origin and
the sublime destiny of man, and the means
of obtaining that destiny. 1t is the key
that interprets his relations to his Creator.
Viewed as an historical chronicle, 1T is the
most ancient the most authentic and the
ever presented to mankind. 1t contains the
only reliable history of the human race
before the deluge. embracing a period of
more than 1900 years and upwards of 1000
years according to the Septuagint chronol-
ogy from the creation of Adam to the
time of Noah There Is scarcely a notable
incident recorded in Scripture that may
not serve as a text for some moral re-
Election. Bible facts are sermons we'll

MORTALITY NOT KNOWN.
Further News from the Wreck on
the Interocennic.

CITY OF MEXICO, March 3-Many
bruised and wounded passengers continue to
arrive in this city from the terrible wreck
on the Interoceanic railway. Many of the
wounded and bleeding were brought into the
city in the relief train, but hundreds of
those able to walk made the attempt to
reach shelter in the surrounding villages
and strung out on the way to this capital
in a pitiable procession. Many fell by the
wayside, and were afterward picked up
more dead than alive by other relief trains,
which followed at intervals. Hundreds are
still camped at the scene, sitting around
small fires kindled from the wreckage.
Bleeding pilgrims are also camped at places
more distant from the disaster and others
are cared for by the hospitable people of
Los Reyes, Lacomania and Ayotla.
Just what the mortality is it is impossi-
bic as yet to say. 1t is exceedingly probable
that within the next few days more bodies
will be found in secluded spots in the vi

The military hospital in the CITY of Mex
leo, where the wounded were conveyed from
the relief trains by order of President Diaz
still echoes with the groans of the dying
and the delirious mutterings of many TN
fortunates. Death occasionally comes as a
relief.
The Universal newspaper makes serious
charges against Nuffer, the American en-
gineer who is held by many to be respon-
sible for the accident. Nuffer is now in
prison, and will probably receive long
sentence unless later developments throw a
different light on the affair and materially
change public sentiment Numerous suits
for damages are being prepared against the
lnteroceanic by the relatives of those killed
and injured in the wreck. The officers in
charge of the mangled remains awaiting
burial at the scene of the disaster waited
long possible before interrrnent to
allow as complete Identification as posi-
ble to be made. This was impossible in
many cases, but the testimony thus secured
will be of great assistance in pushing the
claims AGAINST the company The petitions
are being filed before Judge Juan Perez
De Leon, of the first department of the
District Court, who is busily engaged with
his court in taking the preliminary
depositions The attempt to collect dam
ages is being watched with interest. If
damages are allowed by a Mexican court
in a case of this kind it will be almost in
the nature of a precedent, sls such a pro-
ceeding is very unusual one in this coun-
try.

Two Masked Men Failed When Their

was held up near Antelope station at 10
o'clock this morning by two masked men
dressed in long ulsters. They climbed over
the tender into the cab and before the
engineer or fireman was aware of their
presence they had the trainmen covered
with their revolvers and ordered the eng
lneer to slow up. One of the highwaymen
kept the engineer under guard while his
partner took the fireman to the baggage
car and there compelled him to uncouple it
from the train. He returned to the cab
with the fireman and ordered the engineer
to go ahead. After running short distance
the engineer was ordered to stop, but as he
slowed up the fireman grappled with one of
the men who laid him low with blow
from his revolver. The engineer attempted
to hit his man with a wrench, but he
jumped to the ground and with his COM
panlon escaped into the woods. The engine,
with the baggage car untouched, backed
down to the train and then proceeded to

IF you look for an example of mistaken
faith and hope in God, where will you find
it more beautifully protrayed than in Abra-
ham? In David you have a model of tender
piety towards God, and of magnanimity

affection shall shine forth in the life Of

held up as types of patience and resigna-

which struck on Lower Middle ledge yes

o'clock this morning and is total wreck
Two of her crew were badly burned by the
bursting of a steam pipe the result of the
force of the blow when the steamer struck
and twenty-one head of cattle and num-
ber of sheep were scalded to death in the
same way The injured are:
ISAAC DOWELL, fireman, thirty-eight
years old, London, burned about the head.
JOHN HODGES, twenty-five years old,
London, burned about head and arms.
The financial loss is estimated at over
$500,000 The Venetian struck fairly amid
ships, almost directly beneath the engine
room, and lay balanced the ledge until
this morning, at which time 1t was expected
that by lightering the steamer could be

Port Deposit in Danger.

BALTIMORE March 3.-The danger
which has so long threatened Port De-
posit from the ice gorge in the Susque-
hanna river is now being realized The
water continued to rise steadily all Satur-
day night, and by morning was over the
wharves and had risen nearly to the
tracks of the Columbia & Port Deposit
railroad. This condition of affairs con-
tinued until 1:30 o'clock, when the churches
were thronged Then all of sudden the
ice piled itself up from ten to fifty feet
high diagonally across the whole river in
line from the center of Port Deposit to
a point below the opposite town of Lapi-
dunn. This move was Immediately followed
by a rapid rise in the water of six feet
or more. Services in the churches were
promptly dismissed, and the people had to

feet thick broke loose and made a grand

of swollen waters swept onward, and, not
being able to get through the gorged ice,
rushed down the railroad track the

previous time. Many observers were out
on the wharves, and they were compelled
to run for their lives. In a few minutes

GREAT ICE GORGE.
Row of Fifty Tenement Houses In
undated at Ford City.

PITTSBURG, March 3.-The rise from the
headwaters of the Allegheny river caused
the ice gorge at Ford City to break to-
day and great volume of ice and water
went down, causing considerable damage.
The Ford City glass works were flooded
and a row of fifty tenement houses oc-
cupied by operatives at the glass works
was inundated The Allegheny Valley rail-
road has a train load of pig iron on the
bridge at Mahoning to keep Il from being
swept away. The mammoth gorge at Kit
tanning still holds, though it is expected
to go out at any moment For thirty miles
above that place the river is choked with
ice and in many places 1t is frozen to the
bottom When this vast amount of ice
starts on it's way down the river there
are grave fears of a disastrous food. The
people of Kittanning are moving to places
of safety and guards are kept to warn
the residents should the dreaded flood occur.
