THE LATE ALBERT sYLvAxUs ooAN.

THE LATE ALBERT sYLYANCs COAE
 Albert Sylvanus Coan died at the home of his son, Wesley B. Cosn, iu Shelton, January 26, at the ripe age of 94 year.. Funeral services were conducted from the house st p. m., Friday, Rev Luther | NJ. Keneston, pastor of the Shelton Con- gregstional church, officiating. The interment was made in the family lot in the new cemetery at Trumbull. At the cemetery the funeral procession was met
 by pail bearers from this place, and such other friends as were permitted hy the weather to gather iH honor of his mem ory. Rev ". F. White conducted the service at the grave. Mir Coan was born in Bridgewater, but subss quently lived in Woodbury and other l.ces in the state, where he worked st shoemaklng until his trade suffered, in common with sli trades, in the rise of manufactories that did away with the necessity of so many journeymen. He then purchased what has been known for so mary vesrs as the old Coan homestead in Dankls Farms, more recently known as the Je.- SC Chalker place, where he lived many years, until he finally went to Long Hill with his son, Wesley, to live. Here he resided until short time ago, when he moved with his son to Shelton. The greater part of his life has been spent in tbis town, and at the time of his going away was the ldest man in it. ID his vigorous years he was actively identified in sll the affairs of the town and church, of which he was for 49 years member. He was 8 man of excellent memory, pos- sessed by strong convictions of right and justice, yet man pleasant to meet and one having few enemies. He was twice married. Of the three children ty his first wife only one, Henry Coan of Trum- bull, remains. He survived his second wife but few years. She left only one son, WesleY 3. Coan, who for msny years, and until his removal to Shelton, has beer deacon in the Congregational church. MT Coan was & first cousin of the famous missionary, Titus Coau. Thus has passed to his reward 8 good man whose name and memory will long abide.

 It is very evident that all these classes of men in this our Christian land are nominally Christians, or if not that, at least in the atmosphere of Christian standards, and ought to be really Chris tians in heart and life. They need Christ. That's all. Our Christian land-the Christian world to-day needs-Christ- His purity, His holiness, His self-sacri- fee, Ills love for men. "When thou art converted strengthen thy brethren.''
 Even the Church needs Christ. She needs unity. Nothing flinders the cause Of Christian Missions so much az the divisions among Christians themselves. If the Catholic Church throughout the world were one solid body-a mighty army with an undivided front-then the spiritual conquests of Chris 'ianity would be easier aud more sweeping than can b. imagined. And so agaln the Christian world needs unity-to be one in Christ
 But, after all, the Church and the world are made up of individuals, and it IS in the individual heart and life that there is the real need for Christ. It is only thro' the individual member, each recog- nizing his or her own responsibility, that the Christian worlds need-in govern ment, in industry, in society, in the press, in art and literature-that the Christian worlds need of Christ may be satisfied. Let Christ dwell in the heart of each individual and then the Christian world would indeed be His.
 It may be we'll to put this question to ourselves. Suppose person from some heathen land, interested in and with some knowledge of the Christian religion, were to come here to see it's fruits in the lives of it's followers. Would you be willing to have your actual life held up as fair 1 sample of what Christ can do for human l souls, and have Him and His religion judged thereby? Oh, how far below His standard we still are!
 WHAT A GRAND IDEAL IS HIS, but what great shortcoming is ours! My heart needs 8 deeper love of things l divine, fuller sense of the responsibility of Christian citizenship. My home needs Christ as it's constant inmate, my daily life needs Christ to touch, to purify, to glorify it's every aspect. I need more living faith in Christ, need 8 more per sonal communion with God thro' Christ, need to render 8 more full and ready obedience to His holy will and command ments.
 This for each individual. And then, as B Church, and as Christian nation, the of our weakness will lead not to the cessation of effort to carry our Christian privileges to other lands, but, the recognition of our duty to be mission ary because the heathen world needs Christ, will react upon us and shame us to be better Christians because the Chris tian world needs Christ.

 Text, St LuAe % 52, "when thou art con. verted, strengthen thy brethren"
 It was on the night in which He wac was betrayed and just before the agony In the garden that our Lord Jesus Christ thus speaks to St Peter. He warns that disciple that Satan Is seeking to destroy his sonl, desiring to sift them all as wheat, and he singles out St Peter indi- Vidually, saying, Ihave prayed for thee that thy faith fall not" St Peter reas- serts his loyal faith and devotion to the Lord, saying that he will go with Him into prison and to death. Then Christ solemnly warns him of the threefOld de nial which SO soon was to follow. St Pe- ter, though he had been the close com panIon of the Lord through three blessed years, was not even then fully converted, for in the csitIcal hour of accusation and death he denies all knowledge of his Master. So there follow the weary and dark hours of the crucifixion and death and burial, and on ss Peter's part the de- nials and the tears Of penitence and the sorrow of personal guilt and the grief of desolating loss,and then the joyful knowl. edge of the resurrection and the blessed revelations of the Great Forty Days and near their close the threefold reinstate- mcnt of the penItent apostle when the risen Lord says to St Peter: "simoD, son of Jonas, lowest thou me? Feed nay lambs, feed my sheep, feed my sheep." Then and not till then was the zealous, Impulsive, enthusiastic, devoted disciple, St Peter, fully equipped for the proela- nation of the Gospel, both by word and by example.

London. Aug. 9.-That extreme dip
tomatic tension exists between st. Pet
srsburg and London is generally admit
ted today, though officials deprecate
tia alarmists' reports which were cur
rent yesterday. It Is hoped that the
frmer stand adopted by the Marquis
of Salisbury during the last few days,
which seems to already created some
at Petersburg, will have the
desired affect in arresting Russian ag-
gressiveness. As evidence of the fact
that Great Britain appreciates the
gravity of the situation, the press
learns that the admiralty is preparing
for all emergencies, and that it will
soon be ready to mobilize.
Every officer and man on furlough
or half pay has been assigned to ship
and instructed to be in readiness to join
at the earliest moment. Therefore,
practically every ship In the British
navy at the present moment has full
war complement ready to go to sea
when the time arrives. According tn
Paris advices Admiral Bedelliere, COM
manding the French China squadron,
has cabled demand for reinforcements,
and large credit to be applied to erect
ing fortifications. There Ia suspicion
here that the action of the French ad-
miral means support of Russian designs.

Sagasta explained to her.
From a well-infolmed source it is
learned that while the answer does not
discuss the four bases which the United
States makes an essential preliminary
to peace and which Spain accepts with
out reservation, it points out that in
order to avoid the defnitive negotia-
tions being in any way complicated by
incidents of the war, it is expedient to
agree beforehand to suspension of hos
tilities.

Considerable excitement was caused
by the mutiny of one of the companies
of the last battalion because they had
not been paid. Their payrolls were
improperly made out. There was much
dissatisfaction expressed. and the men
of company l. yelled:
''We won't 60 unless We get our
pay"
That's SO, boysp' cried out Captain
Lane, their commander.
Major Denison approached each man
in the camp and demanded to know
whether he would 60 to the train or
not, saying if he did not intend to go,
he must step out of the ranks. He
then ordered Lane to take the train,
under arrest. This awed the mutineers,
and they proceeded to the train.
A private of company K jumped out
of the train as it was about to start,
and endeavored to desert. Six shots
were fired at him without effect. He
was captured by the guards.

tributed fuel, and before the flames
could be checked, they had spread to
the Tribune Office, Hare's hardware
store and an entire row of buildings.
The flames then leaped the street to
the magnificent First National bank
building, which melted away in a few
minutes. The Central block followed,
and the flames spread rapidly to the
postoffice, sweeping over the entire
block, and carrying down the post
Office, Merchants' bank block, Griffin

and brick structures. Fire then spread
across and devoured Kupitz's store and
the greater part Of the block. The
flames also spread north and into resi-

Firemen were powerless to check the
inroads of the fire. which spread to
scores of buildings, licking them up as

The origin OF the fire is unknown,
as no one was in the freight Office when
it started. 1t is impossible to estimate
the loss tonight. All wires are burned,
the Western Union Office being one of
