JULIUS SYCLE & SON.

by Mr.. James Lewis Anderson, the presi-
dcnt Of the league, and with him in the
pulpit were Rev. Drs. Stricken. Wither-
spoon, and Kerr, and Rev. Donald Guth-
RE. pastor of the Second church
Mr. Anderson. I'm introducing the lee
turer referred in commendatory terms 10
the work of the league. and in a few we'll
chosen wards introduced Rev. Or. G. Il.
Strickler. of Union Theological Seminary,
who lectured on 1.-THE Divine Origin Of
ed the air Of any doubt that might exist
as to the divine source Of the Scriptures.
DR.. Strickler's method is 10 enunciate,
demonstrate. and enforce. Every step is
calmly taken ana every step thus taken
brings necessary conviction. His posi-
lions were impregnable. Either the Old
Testament Scriptures related facts Of his
tory or myths; and so also with the new
Testament II was shown that the latter
position was untenable Whence did the
writer's derive their knowledge? Not
from the surrounding nations of an
tiQuity: not from their own personal re-
sources. but directly from God This line
Of thought was developed at length with
great force.
1t was shown that the writer's of sacred
Scripture would not have perpetrated
great fraud with deliberate intention TO
deceive. because they had in themselves
not the necessary insight into truth; no
motive could be assigned for such course
Of deception. Jesus Christ asserted His
belief in the Old Testament Scriptures as
the Word of God end never criticised or
impunged them The unity Of teaching in
the Scriptures proved the divinity of their
origin The good that had come TO man.
kind from the Scriptures told the same
story Of a divine origin
After the lecture Mr.. Anderson rendered
the thanks Of the meeting TO DR.. StriclSler
and after the benediction by Or. Kerr the
large audience retired TO the spacious lee
ture-rOom. where refreshments Were
served by the Senior Covenanters' So
ciety Of the church. and a social hour was
enjoyed by all.

DONGOLA MURDER.
More Arrests--Another Cause Of Ex-
element.


GREENVILLE. y. G. May s.-(Special.)
Sunday morning three more arrests were
made of parties charged with being i'm
plicated in the recent murder and arson
at Dongola. The prisoners-all colored
were brought here and committed to Jail,
making six now confined for alleged con-
nection with the crime. The arrests have
caused much excitement, and it il talked
that the Governor Will be asked TO ap-
point 4 special term Of court, so that
speedy trial may be had.
Late Sunday evening Deputy-Sheriff
Mason came in with Lorenzo Brown, and
returned him to prison. He is the colored
man under sentence Of death. and who
escaped jail Sunday evening week ago.
He was captured at La Grange. in an ad-
joining county. haying been at large ex-
actly a week.
The crowd who gathered around the jail
TO sec this negro recommitted to his cell
had started 10 dispense. when there was
still further excitement, caused by the
arrival Of officers from Bethel. bringing
three more colored prisoners 10 be con-
fired for murder. On Saturday night
these three negroes, with another, who
escaped arrest. made an assault upon the
constable Of Bethel township and murder
ed him.
The six prisoners arrested in connection
with the Dongola murder and arson were
taken before five justices of the peace
this afternoon. a great crowd was at
the court. Solicitor Moore offered a. mo-
ton that the preliminary hearing be post
poned to next Monday, for the reason
that the state might develop certain adj
ditlonal testimony, and that to postpone
would be fairer to some OF the prisoners,
who might be innocent The court de-
cided TO postpone in the interest of both
the State and the defendants, and the
prisoners were placed in custody or the
Sheriff.

An Ocean of Whitewgsh.
CNeW York JournalD

lNcW DIX JOuIudl.)
The court Of inquirys report on the
beef scandal has been made public by the
President. From beginning TO end II IS
a bold effort TO whitewash the Commits
sary Department, excuse Alger. and give
the Chicago beef contractors a certificate
of character.
General Miles is sacrificed TO the p0liti-
cal necessities of the Mckinley Admins
tration. Although he sold no beef shared
in no contracts, and had nothing 10 DO
with the Commissary Department, he is
censured by this remarkable court of
inquiry, which pronounced the beef sound
and nutritious when it was purchased.
and charges all the decayed and poison
Gus beef up to the climate of Cuba
All the whitewashing reports that the
friends Of Mckinley might frame from
now until doomsday could not hide the
stain on Alger or wipe out the crimes Of
the Commissary Department.
The truth is that the people have no
interest in anything the court Of inquiry
may say about the beef scandal. They
have read the testimony in the newspa-
pers, and they have made up their minds
as TO where the responsibility rests. Not
one person out of a thousand will agree
with the court Of inquiry IN its condemna-
lion of General Miles. The public has
confidence in his integrity, and no faith
whatever in the sincerity or honesty Of
his accusers.
This report. no doubt, will give great
personal satisfaction to the President
and his Secretary OF War. 1t was planned
TO do that very thing. But it will make
no votes for Mr.. Mckinley, and it will
not change the verdict Of the public,
which is adverse to Alger. Eagan, and
the Beef Trust.
General Miles has nothing TO regret.
re has done his duty fearessly. He has
won a moral victory that cannot be tar
nished by the report of a court organ
lied to save the administration from the
consequences OF its plumbers.
