THE SALE MUST STAND.
Judge Purnell Decides Against the
Cumnock Miners.

Judge Purnell yesterday refused to
allow the motion to set aside the sale OF
the 'rown-Site" property formerly
owned by the Langdon-Henszey Coal
Mining Company and sold under con-
| sent decree ut May term, 1897.
The Darties who asked the new sale
AFRO tho relatives of the miners who were
killed in the Cumnock mine explosion
several years ago, and who hold damage
judgments against the company. They
claimed a lien on the property prior to
the outstanding receivers certificates,
about $4,000: and since the sale they
have increased the bid so per cent But
the commissioners who made the sale
recommend a contirmat ton of it.
In rendering his decision on the case,
Judge Purnell says:
The decree, of the May term being
by consent of all the parties to the
record, will not be modified or dis
turbed except by consent of all parties
or the proof of fraud, inadvertence on
mistake Neither is alleged or attempt
ed to be proved. The question of wheth-
or 80 parties Onering the increased
bid have a lien on this particular prop
erty is not before the court III Il form
to he considered or passed upon; nor
can the court now see that they are par
ties of record or in interest; so that
the increased Or upset bid must be
passed upon as being made by strangers
1T is therefore adjudged, ordered and
decreed that the motion to set aside the
sale of lot No. 3, known as the Town
site be dismissed 1t is further ad-
judged. ordered and decreed that the
sale of lot No. 3 known as the Town
Site be confirmed and the commission
ers hereinbefore appointed, on the pay
ment of the purchase money, execute
and deliver to the purchaser at the
sale made in accordance with the decree
of this court at May term, 1897, deed
to said land.'
A decree was also issued in the case
of the Camp Manufacturing Company
against Henry Parker, dissolving the in
junction heretofore granted and taxing
the plaintiff with the costs.
In the case under consideration, says
the decision, 1.-The parties fixed the
terms upon which the contract should
terminate. If the party of the first
part shall fail to pay any amount when
due, it shall have a notice of ten days.
and after the expiration of ten days, il
it remains unpaid this contract is at
an end The notice was given and the
payment was not made. The contract
was at an end
This case involved about $4,000 worth
of timber lands and will probably be
appealed.

This is one Of the companies that has

They have not been licensed yet, and
it is hardly probable they will be IL

law is 5000 fine or 30 days imprison,

THE POWER OF RELIGION.

In Epiphany Church.


Rt. Rev. Davis Sessums. d. D., Bishop
of Louisiana. preached at Epiphany yes
terday morning He selected his text
from the gospel of Luke xvii:23 and
xxix:22-"Behold, the Kingdom of God is
within you"
Bishop Sessums said that the Pagan re-
ligion teaches people to work against
their human fellows for the benefit of
self. while the religion of Christ teaches
them to labor in behalf of their fellow
beings and for the subjuSation Of self
which can only be accomplished by man
being brought to know the Christ and
having the human life linked with the di-
vine.
II mattered not what adjectives were
used to define religion. or what forms
were observed in worship, righteousness.
the speaker said, could only come into
the human soul through Jesus Christ 1t
is not enough that we use our doctrine
simply to satisfy our intelligence. The
great transcendent miracle is forgiveness
of sins. Every man who fears God and
works righteousness is accepted of Him.
THE outward manifestations and insti-
tutions and educational privileges should
help man to realization of his duty. and
yet. through this framework that mortal
makes God looks at the Inner life. The
Christian church is the outward organi-
zation and is needed as the instrument
to promote godliness and cultivate Jesus
| Christ in the hearts of men. Il is the
means by which the Kingdom of God may
be brought to US, and unity with Christ
realiZed-that essential end of the uni
verse for which God created man"

is Irresistible in the case of anyone
familiar with the interior workings OF
the bond and surrender schemes. There
is intense fear in certain circle that
present insistence by Spain that these
delicate questions shall be taken up at
once in Paris. may result in total
wreck of the Republican party at the
polls. We shall see. therefore, that the
representations sent to the syndicate
people in France by the hand of the

the Vatican and the Austrian court by
Monsignor Keane. will result in heavy
pressure on Sasasta by the Rothschilds,

the American people, and, hence.
whether it will be safe to assume or
guarantee the Spanish-Cuban debt or
part of it, and to return all the Phil
ippines but Luzon, to Spain, according
to the original program.
Every day that dawns brings with 1t
increased danger that the real inten-
tions objects, and engagements of the
Administration in connection with the
Spanish debt and the striking of our
colors in the Orient, may leak out in a
way to defy denial. Were this fact

Bishop Hall, of Vermont. and Bishop
Nichols. of California, the service being
the conclusion of a series of three Sunday
evening services under the auspices of
St. Andrews Brotherhood. The attend

Bishop Nichols to treat ii in wider
sphere.
Il am churchman first. because 1
was brought up in the church, and sec
ond. because / have been able to justify
the hope that is in me by my reason"
Bishop Hall dwelt at some length on
the doctrines and forms of worship Of
the church. He declared them to be
without change as the Lord had IN
stituted them, and said that the church
had a guarantee that its ministers were
regularly ordained in a direct line from
the time of Christ. He commented fav-
orably on the freedom of speech allowed
the clergy Of the church in all ages. and
said that the church was fulfilling its
mission among men.
Bishop Nichols discussed the subject
from the point of view of church activity,
declaring that to be the question Of the
day He thought the record of the church
would justify its being classed as 2
power for good at the present time.
