cHR1sT's PRECIOUS BLOOD.
Its Saving Power Extolled by Rev
Watson Case


1.-THE Precious Blood OF Christ" was the
subject and eloquent discourse by Rev
Watson Case, at Grace NJ. E. Church yester-
day morning. He spoke from the first
chapter Of Peter, the first half of the
nineteenth verse, saying in part:
Blood isthat liquid element which passes
through the avenues aud channels of the
body and sustains human life. 1t is,
therefore, very necessary that this blood
should be pure. If the currents OF our
physical nature are corrupted in any
way they would be no longer fitted for
the uses of this life and we should wither
and die.
I'VE cannot price too highly that which
has to do with the brain force aud that
which must have the capabilities of sense
Lots of blood is foul and there is also blood
that is vile, depraved and otherwise cor
rupted. 1t is a good thing to be found
pure the first time and it is a good thing
to have noble pareutsand pure blood.
Peter speaks OF precious blood and tells
of the people of that age relative to their
giving gold as offerings, to try and secure
Goodness for themselves. The precious
blood OF Christ was the best blood there, for
it was from a divine being and therefore
the finest blood that could be found in
Gods paradise.
Men in the olden times forfeited their
lives and their liberty on account OF their
sins, and in order that we should be
freed from guilt and from death it was
for Christ to sacrifice his life. His blood
was precious then because OF the sacrifice
1t cost Him and because of His sacrifice TO
God. God sees all the indignities, all the
sufferings and all the sacrifices that befall
US and He will rectify all.

GOING TO FIRE Big GUNS
Double -Turret Monitor Amphitrite
Sent to Sea for Test.
Effect of the Conclusion Upon the
Deck of the Vessel Is TO Be
Ascertained.

To settle at once the effect OF the blast
of great gun upon the deck of an armored
vessel. Secretary Herbert has given orders
that the double turret monitor Amphitrite,
now at the Norfolk navy yard go to sea and
practice with her guns. The ship will
sail as soon as Chief Engineer Hannum can
reach Norfolk
While on her trial cruise in southern
waters, the Amphitrite fired all OF her
guns, but so far as known none of the big
guns were discharged across the deck as
they would be in action were the ship TO
meet an enemy bow on. The data gath
cred in this test is expected to be of value in
settling the question, now agitating the
Navy Department, as TO the location of the
turrets on the two new battleships, as fear
has been expressed by the ordnance bureau
that the blast from the eight-inch guns, if
they are fired directly over the twelve
inch guns, will blow in the cover OF the
turrets OF the latter guns.
The officers Of the Construction Bureau
feel no apprehension on that score and
claim that the experiments at Indian Head
Were not conclusive. for the reason that the
eight inch gun in the test was placed within
twenty-four inches of the covering plate
of the turret, which was not properly sup
poTIeu, WhlIe IN lHe plans Tor TIE battle
ships the guns are at least fifty inches
above the big turrets, and they can, it is
said, be given any desired degree OF
strength, either by increasing their thick
ness or adding suitable framing below.
In the AmphitTte. the ten-inch guns in
the two turrets are placed in Hichborn tur-
rets, slightly modified, six feet above The
deck. The latter is made OF two inches Of
steel, faced with four inches OF yellow
pine timber, so that il is felt that it will
pass the test successfully. Stll it is desirable
TO know just how the ship VIII behave in
action and hence the order for the test

In Behalf OF young Berry.

Carlin's Springs, Va, July 2, 1895.
Editor Times: Referring to the recent
accident at Carlins Springs, Va, by which
one James Newsom came to his death from
the effect of blow on the head, ar the
hands of Mr.. Louis Berry, young man Of
good character and demeanor, the resi-
dents OF the village appreciate the correct
report of The Times on the accident, as
We'll as the further fact that Mr. Berry was
not directly referred TO as a murderer
For Mr.. Berry, 1 wish to say that have
known him some time, and have found him
to be a perfect young gentleman, kind and
obliging, and not of a disposition TO look
for trouble, and am satisfied that he no
doubt thought his life in danger, and that
it was time to act 1t would seem a
hardship for this young man to be COM
PEELED to serve a term.

NOT MALTREATED IN MEXICO
Story of Cruelty to Negro Colonists
Denied by the Consul,
Some Left the Colony, But Nearly All
Returned of Their Own Accord.
None Shot or Wounded.

The Department of State is in receipt
of report from Jesse W. Sparks, consul
at Piedras Negras, on the colony Of negroes
brought from Alabama and Georgia last
February to Tlahualila, Mexico, concern
ing whose treatment there have been many
conflicting reports.
Reports have appeared i'll American
newspapers that some of the coIonists
escaped from the farm, Were pursued by
W. H Ellis, the colored man who imported
them, and that thirty-two We're shot down,
while the survivors were captured, taken
back to the colony, and subjected TO harsh
punishment The consuPs investigation
has shown this story 10 be almost entirely
without foundation.
Forty-thTee OF the cOlOnists did leave
the colony, but the leader Of the band,
Joe Caldwell, has stated that his motive
in going away was a ruse TO satisfy his
sons, who wished to run away, that flight
was impracticabe. Caldwell led the
band over the mountains and then back
to the colony. All We're brought back in
safety, except twenty-one men and women, B,
who separated from the others and in
sisted upon going on ahead. These have
not been traced, but some OF them reached
3
spread reports of the death OF the thirty
two returned to the colony.
No one was shot or wounded, but Cald-
well states he was struck by a Mexican
with the barrel of a gun and otherwise
injured and confined for nearly two weeks
in the colony lookup. The band was met
and badly frightened by some MeXiCans
who had been sent out from the colony
TO find them and relieve them, as they
were without food and water.
Mr.. Charles Paul Mackio, an American
who Investigated the affair, cOrobOrates
this statement, ana declares that the col
onists are receiving good treatment, al
| though many OF them have been sick from
change of water, diet, etc. They now have
the benefit, however, OF good medical
attendance. Although some OF the col
onists tell stories of harsh treatment. the
consul is indispOsed to credit them, and at
tributes their troubles TO the fact that
they are in a strange country, among
strangers. and do not speak or understand
the language.
The negro manager, Ellis, rules, how
ever, in the Consul's opinion, with great
severity, and the negroes say he made
representations TO them in America which
he has failed to carry out in Mexico.

MISS VESTS COURAGE.
She Captured Rabid Dog and End
His Existence Humanely


His Existence Humanely.
"A fox terrier with the rabies succeeded
in creating considerable confusion and ex-
element OH Fifteenth street near ID about
2 O'Clock Saturday afternoon, and but
for tho courage OF Miss West, the super
intendent Of the Emergency Hospital,
many persons might have been bitten by
the mad dog.
A colored boy was the first person to
see the animal, and with howl of ter
ror rushed into the hospital and for a
few minutes tried to stammer out some
thing to Walter Chapman, the colored
attendant.
Miss West had in the meantime caught
sight of the dog from her window. 1t
was describing circles about tho center
OF the street and rolling over and over
its head entirely covered with foam.
Charles, the janitor, rushed out and
attacked the dog with a broom, but was
soon routed and took refuge behind the
hospital doors.
Then Miss West, a sheet in hand, and
reinforced by DR.. Furlong, sailed out,
and in spite of the swapping and snarling
of the dog, in a twinkling had it bun
died up in the sheet and in the operating
room.
Chloroform was then brought into requi-
stion and the sheet saturated with 1t.
When rolled out on the floor the animal
was dead.

The Tupelo Journal thinks there
is too much law making. 1t says:
"The public good, the business Of
every line, would be greatly ad.
vanced if our national legislature
met less often; We think steps
should be taken to have biennial
sessions. 1t has reached the point
when there is never a year of uni
versal peace and quiet in business
circles, which is largely due to the
fact that the various business inter.
ests are fearful of some legislation
inimical to them. II has grown to
be that an adjournment Of con~
gress is relief to the country and
there is no necessity for such fre-
quent meetings, which only bring
unrest, dissatisfaction, and, we
might add, IN some cases, disaster"
