CHAPTER XI CONTINUED.

Among the names of this pioneer band
of Baptists are those of Thomas Grit
fifth, Enoch Morgan, Mary Johns, Mar
garet Matthias, and James David. In
June 1701, this little band of Christians
sailed from Milford Haven in the ship
Names and Mary, and landed in Phila-
delphia the September following. After
their arrival the old church record states
they lived much scattered for about a
year, but like good Christians they were
not forgetful of the apostolic injunction,
but kept up their weekly and moathly
meetings. During this time their num-
Der was increased by the arrival of
twenty-five other members, among whom
are the names of Reese and Catharine
Ryddarcks, Peter Chambcrline. and
Thomas Jones, all of whom except the
first, have left descendants who yet re-
side within the bounds of this ancient
congregation.
Reese Ryddarcks lies buried in the old
church-yard belonging to the church on

officer and served in Cromwcll's Army

coded the trial and execution Of Charles

Of the sea. l cannot describe to you
my joy when the first streaks of dawn
penetrated that awful pit and gave as
surance of another day. My depression
was growing, and l knew that unless
our Indians came q few more hours
would end it all. What if another
snowstOrm had prevented them reach
ing the summit? The thought was too
horrible to describe. But an hour or so
after daylight l saw them on the rim.
"My inspection of the sulphur de-
posits in the crater had been completed
to my satisfaction, and W. clambered
~laboriously up the snow steps to the
ledge, where the Indian guides placed
the nooses about me as / have before
described, and l felt my body escend-
ing through the air. My sense of de-
preston increased alarmingly, and l
was startled to note that the nOoses
had been improperly fixed and were
COMPRISING my chest by the weight of
my own body. Oh, how slowly that
old winch worked! The icicles were
worse than when l came down, because
/ was going upward against their
points, and the nooses held my body
and limbs so tightly l could not ware
off their contact. The walls of the era
ter seemed to be swimming around,
the putting of the Dlowholes sounded
alarmingly distinct, my ears began to
ring, and l knew that l had almost
reached my limit of endurance when |
was jerked to the top of the rim and
laid upon the snow"

Photograph to Be
Used In Murder Trial

When Louis J. ThOms is tried for
the murder of Door Minnie Larsen, he
hopes to prove his innocence by means
Of a photograph. He says that on the
night of the murder, which occurred
Jan. 1, he was at a New Years party
and talked into the machine. The wax
cylinder will be introduced as evidence,
with what result remains to be seen.
Minnie Larsen was a pretty young
woman employed as a cook on the
steamship Peerless, which was laid up
for the winter at Chicago. 1t was on
this ship that she was murdered.
Thoms was the chief steward.
The case against Thoms rests entire
ly on the evidence of a boy named
Robert Keissig, who was employed on
the ship. He has made a full confess
sion to the police, says the New York
Journal. He says that ThOms was in
love with Minnie Larsen and had re-
peatedly asked her to marry him. She
had refused and appeared to dislike
him. He is q strong man, with an I'M
governable temper.
On the night IN question mons
came aboard the ship about 10 o'clock,
according to Keissig's confession, and
ordered Miss Larsen to cook supper.
He was in a savage mood and under
the influence of liquor. While Minnie
was cooking supper Thoms threaten
ed her, saying he intended to kill her.
The boy Keissig was crouched in a
corner of the room.
Thoms ate his supper, haunting the
girl all the time. When she attempted
to leave, he threatened her with an ak.
At last he rose and went slowly to-
ward her.
He is a man of phenomenal physical
strength. He seized the girl by the
throat, shook her like a rat and crush
ed the life out of her. While this was
going on the boy Keissig tried to run
