Cowper's beautiful hymn beginning
'"There is a fountain filed with blood %

and Mr.. John w. Primrose leads a move
ment to keep 1t olt Of the next edition Of
the Presbyterian Hymnal.
The hymn was written more han a
hundred years ago and has been ms by
millions OF people with infinite comfort.
After the lapse OF 1l9 years Mr.. Prim-
rose has discovered that the hymn il not
orthodox, and is a bad thing to sing.
In Saturdays Journal his letter 10 the
Southwestern P~resbytery was reproduced.
He sale there was no fountain Allied with
blood. and that the hymn led weak peo-

scholarly men Of the Presbyterian Church

said:

makes. The Bible says nothing OK

THE STONE SEWER IS BROKEN.
That Much Was Ascertained Yester'
day by Engineer Bolton.

There Is no longer any doubt that the
old stone sewer has caved in. Whether
II was the cause of the catastrophe at the
Gallego Mills last Saturday night. or
whether 1t was the caving in Of the mill
walls that broke the sewer. has yet to
be determined.
II is expected hat all the debris will
he removed and the sewer reached to-day.
and then a very careful examination will
be made to try and reach some definite
conclusions
In the mean time the break in the
sewer has not hindered the flow Of sew
age TO the river. 1t Is probable that In
event OF a storm the stream would be
backed up, but all possible speed Is being
made TO divert the sewer into the Cary
street channel.

FAST MAIL TRAIN WRECKED.
Fifteen Passengers Injured, But
None Observation-Disclosures Sca1ded.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 26.-The fast
mail train from Charleston to Columbia
on the Atlantic-Coast Line was wrecked
miles from this city.
The train was running about forty miles
an hour when, coming round a curve on
a very high ~embankment, fifty yards from
the bridge over Hampton's Pond, the en-
CINE jumped the track. The whole train
went down the embankment, turning over
on it's side. The engine landed in the
edge of the pond. Engineer Willis John
ston stuck to his post, and crawled out
from under the engine in a cloud of es-
Gaping steam. He was ~dreadfully scald-
ed, but will recover. About fifteen pas
seneers were more or less injured, but
none seriously. Cuts and bruises are
the worst hurts. The escape of the peo-
pie aboard was miraculous. A baby was
tossed about in the first-class coach, but
escaped ~uninjured.
The South Carolina and Georgia road
runs close by. The morning train came
up a few minutes after the wreck. and
was a lucky ambulance TO the hospital
in this city.

COLD TIME COMING.
Goose Bones. RagWeed, Corn Husks
and WOOdchunks Tell of u
Severe Winter.

The weather prophet has vogue.
Barometers the same;
The goose bone has no vogue at all
But it gets there just the same.
Its going to be a cold winter. The
gripman-pla him in either category
you wish, for the present weather
prophet scorns to influence your opinion
one way or the other-wil flap his arms
like the windmill and swearfully speed
away, pouring maledictions on the eli
mate and on his all insufficient clothing
and depending for warmth upon the
temperature of his own language. The
hot chestnut man will transfer his wares
to less enviable position and place his
hands over the grateful and comforting
little stove, the while he 'carambas" at
everything in sight and signs for the land
of the smiling sun and the vigorous ven
delta. It's going to be a cold winter, my
countrymen, and the only man who will
welcome the wave OF wind and chill will
be the plumber gentleman, whose cardiac
organ will be as warm as the heart OF
Vesuvius.
To such men as are not weighted down
with the wisdom that comes of holding
communion with the visible form of
nature and hearkening to her wondrous
language, it may not be out OF place to
remark that the goose bone is very wide
and nearly all white. Viola!
Is not that enough? Are you not, as
you finish that sentence, snatching your
hat and top coat and rushing off to the
coal dealer, the ulster manufacturer and
the liver pad maker to get in your orders
before the rush commences? No? You
tarry? Sh.h! Not before in eight years
in eight years, mind you-have the
goose bones been so white, nor yet so
wide. Sure sign.
Look at the ragweed closer. How tall
it is! Divinely tall, the birds murmur in
their own language. When the rag weed
gets as tall as it is growing now it is as
pretty sight to non-migratorv bird as
full hand is loser in consolation
pot. That tallness means something.
1t means that there's going to be the
deepest kind Of a snowfall around the
neck Of woods where the ragweed has
reared its inviting head. 1t means that
old Madame Nature is taking care of her
own by providing class of food which
will refuse to be showed under. Now
will you go buy that sanitary all-wool
suit?
You won't? All right. Come closer.
Here's more evidence. See the corn
husk. Did you ever see huskier, heav.
ier husk? OF course you didn't or you'd
be in the exhibition business. That
heaviness tells the chosen interpreters
that there's cold time coming.
Proof plus proof. There's the wood.
chuck. His fur's thicker than the speech
of joyously jagged spellbinder. That
fur has a language all its own. 1t says
as plainly as phonograph, "There'll be
a cold time in the old town tonight" A
wood chuck is as good barometer as
need wish for. Get a wood
chuck and train him up in the way he
should 60, and you will use no other
weather warning,
1t would seem from these conclusive
evidences that the proper thing to do is
20 get out and corner the woollen goods
market. The Wool Exchange is closed
now, so you ought to have little, if any,
Oil your skates, brush the
moth balls out of your sweater and dig !
Up your fur-lined overcoat.

two preclamations.
In proceedings brought in October
1891, to have all church property tha
had been seized by the Government
under the provisions of the Edmunds
Tucker act returned to the church. VIII
ford Woodruff, Apostle Snow, President
Joseph i. Smith. and Apostle Lund
each severally, gave testimony to the
effect that the manifesto of September
"a, 1890, ratified October +. 1890, was in.
tended to suspend henceforth unlawful
cohabitation as much as polygamy. It is
true that a transcript Of the proceedings
shows considerable reluctance on the part
of the leaders to make their testimony so
sweeping against their cherished prac.
tices, but the attorneys brought out the
complete and absolute definition, and
the official record now exhibits that not
only were polygamous marriages to
cease, but that polygamous relations were
also to cease.
Again, on May !, 1895, when the con-
vention to draft constitution for the
proposed State OF Utah was in session,
and an amendment to make clearer the
provision against polygamous marriages
so as to prevent unlawful cohabitation
had been proposed, B. II. Roberts sup
ported the amcdment, that it may ap-
pear, without any equivocation what
ever, that in absolute good faith the peo.
pie OF Utah intend to carry out the con-
ditions upon which Statehood is to be
yro Tod ~ tho Torritorv -
A joint resolution of Congress, ap.
proved October %, 1893, returned to the
Mormon Church the escheated property
on the showing that "said church has
discontinued the practice of polygamy,
and no longer gives continuance in any
manner to practices in violation of law
or contrary to good morals or public
policy" Money and property were re-
turned freely to be applied for all church
purposes, except that "the rlghtfulness
Of the practice of polygamy shall not be
inculcated." ~,
At the semi.annual Conference, on
October 6, Apostle John W. Taylor, a
son Of the late President Taylor, openly
charged the people of CtAh with gross
immortality, making q special target Of
the members of the great Mormon
Tabernacle Choir. The attack was as
vehemently resented by the Gentle ele.
ment as it was by the Mormons, and on
the Sunday following Taylor offered q
partial retraction and apology.
On this same Sunday and in the same
pulpit Apostle Brigham Young, son OF
the great Brigham Young, made an A.
tack on the Gentiles Of Utah, and de.
nounced them as class as liars and i'm.
moral, especially warning young Nor.
mon girls against seeking employment in
Gentle families.
These two incidents tended to open
a fresh chasm between Mormons and
non -Mormons. 1t is only just to say,
however, that many non-Mormons be-
leve the present condition unsatisfactory
as it is, contains nothing alarming. They
are satisfied that polygamous marriages
have actually ceased, and that a few
years more will retire to the great be-
yond all those who may be maintaining
polygamous relations. 1t is probable,
too, that the percentage of this class Is
very small in comparison with the Nor
mon bouy.

So far as the information goes,
every member of the Georgia del
egation in Congress, senators and
representatives, is opposed to the
policy of territorial expansion in
the far East. The Governor is
opposed to it, and with one excep-
ton the leading newspapers are
opposed to it. There are reasons
for thinking that the legislature
is practically unit on the same
