DIR. HoUGHT0E HAS NOT RESIGNED
His Call to New York Was rendered
to Him Year Ago.

The vague rumors to the effect that the
Rev. George c. Houghton, DID. rector of
Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church,
Hoboken, and County Superintendent of
Public Schools, was going to resign his
rectorship to accept call to the church
of the TRANSPORTATION in New York, have
turned out to be without foundation. DR..
Houghton did receive a call a year ago
to assist his uncle who is rector OF the
Church of the Transfiguration 1t was
rumored at the time that DR.. Houghton
had decided to resign his present charge,
and the rumor has been hanging fre ever
since. As matter of fact DR.. Hough-
ton has not made up his mind to accept
the call offered to him, and has no lnten-
ton of doing so at present.
81 can accept the call at any time,
said DR.. Houghton to News" reporter.
"My uncle and the vestrymen of his
church offered me the assistant rectorship
of that parish a year ago, but my people
in Hoboken have prevailed upon me to
remain here. / have not resigned my
charge and never told any one l was go
ing to do So"
/, Dr. Heughton has been rector of Trim
lity Church for eighteen years. For twelve
years he has filled the Office of County
Superintendent of Education, and says
he is again candidate for reappointment.
If he had concluded to resign his rector
ship it is obvious that he would not seek
to be reappointed as County Superinten-
dent.

LOST ON THEIR WEDDING TRIP
MIR. and Mrs. Black Thought To Have
Reen Killed In Railroad Wreck.

LOvELAND Col, Sept. g. 1S97.-Con-
siderable anxiety prevails here as to the
fate of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer E. Black, of
Pittsburg, Pa who were without doubt
on the train that was rocked near New
castle on September 6. The couple were
recently married in Pennsylvania and
were on their bridal tour to California.
They stopped briefly in Denver, Littleton
and at Loveland. where they visited Mrs.
Blacks sister, Miss Eta Wilson.
They sent their baggage ahead to their
place of destination in California with
view to stopping at various places on the
way Their baggage has arrived at its
destination, but no word has been re-
ceived from the missing couple, and it is
strongly suspected that they were killed
in the railroad wreck
There seems to be no doubt that Black
and his wife were victims of the
railroad wreck at Newcastle, Col, Sep
tember 9. A special despatch from Pitts
burg, Pa, says that Superintendent Pit
cairn of the Pennsylvania has identified
the burned and blackened portion of a
Pennsylva Railroad pass, found at the
wreck, on which the name of Black could
be family deciphered, as one issued to
Elmer E. Black. The remains of Mr.. and
Mrs. Black in all probability were among
the ashes of seven unidentified victims
whose bodies were almost entirely de-
stroyed by fire.

BOTKlNE ON THE SEALS

[By Cable to The Associated Press.l
LONDON, Sept. %, 1S97.-The "Pall Mall
Gazette this afternoon, publishes
another interview which it's Paris COR
respondent has had with M. Pierre Bot
kline the Russian Commissioner to the
Bering Sea Conference, in which M.
Botkine is quoted as saying he has not
received any notification of the Marquis
of Salisbury's objection to Russia and
Japan being represented at the confer
ence. On the other hand, the Russian
official expressed the opinion that such
an attitude upon the part of the Marquis
of Salisbury would delay the conference
at Washington, which would be held just
as if nothing had happened to change the
original plans. only the British Ambass-
ador to the United States, Sir Julian
Pauncefote would be absent, which, he
added was most regrettable.
In conclusion M. Botkine reiterated the
necessity of coming to some arrangement
for the protection of the seals as other
wise, he explained the seals would most
certainly be eXterminated.

ADIRONDACK LANDS.
state Struggling TO Recover Tracts
About Saranac Lake.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept 28, IS97.-The
first attempt of the State to obtain pos
session of thousands of acres of Yalu-
able Adirondack lands, the title to which
has been lost through the cancellation
by former State Comptrollers of tax sales
on which the States title was based was
made by the Fisheries, Forest and Game
Commission today before Comptroller
Roberts The application involves an at
tempt to get back about 100000 acres in
land, a part of it including Saranac Inn,
the fish hatchery in that vicinity, and
almost all the lands surrounding upper
Saranac.
The application was made under sec
ton of the Malby BILL passed by the
last Legislature and signed by the Gov
ernor, providing that the Comptroller Is
authorized and empowered, and shall, up
on the application of any one aggrleved
thereby, set aside any cancellation or
tax sale made by him or by any of his
predecessors in office, in cases when
such cancellation was made upon an ap-
plieation which the Comptroller, or any
of his predecessors in office, hadno juris-
diction or legal right to entertain at the
time of such cancellation.
The applications today were for land
in Township No. 90 1t had been intended
to apply for land in No %, supposed to
be owned by Smith M. Weed and M. ".
B. Turner but an injunction to be ar
gued on October 16 has been served.
