had great deal to do with the hideous
llynching at Wilmington, Del, in June
last, is to be put on trial by the Presby-
terry of the county for his utterances at
that time. The New York Commercial
Advertiser says: "This is a proceeding
in the interest Of Christianity. The
lynching occurred on Tuesday. On the
Sunday evening previous Mr.. Elwood
preached sermon on the text, "Shall
the Murderer be Lynched2" He dis
played in the pulpit leaves spattered
with the blood of the victim and drew q

else this sort of talk may be, and there
was an entire sermon of it, it was not

and. with two friends and two assistants,
started for stubenvile. Ohio. from
whence the return trip will he made.
The vehicle in which Mr.. Van Rensse-
Aer and his friends will make the return
trip can, perhaps. be described best as q
houseboat on wheels.
The body OF the vehicle fs about nfteen
rcet long, eight feet wide and six or seven
feet ligh The top is OF zinc and the sides
Of wa;erproofed canvas. These canvas
sides are arranged 10 let down TO the
ground az night 40 as to anord protecuon
in the event OF a sudden rain. on one
side is a long canvas nap provided with
guy ropes, so IL can be drawn forward at
night TO act as a sheitering tent for the
horses IL a heavy storm comes up.
Al the back OF the wagon Is "A heavy
Slated boot" upon which can be carried
two days supply OF baied hay for the
horses In front OF this boot and under
meath the body OF the wagon is COM
ments for the ice. meat and other provi-
sions Further under the vehicle Is
larger box for the dry provisions.
Two doors with ventilators near the
top close the back OF the wagon but the
front is left wide open. and there is big
canopy I'm front like the visor OF jockey 9
cap, which keeps out rain and sun. The
seat boxes are divided into two compart-
ments. on taking OF the seat cushions
there are disclosed 10 view nicely paru-
toned receptacles for feed and grain for
the horses. The floor OF the wagon also
opens, and there are snug and convenient
places for storing bedding and camping
utensils.
A long Slated shelf. extending the
whole width OF the vehicle and built in
two sections is hung In grooves In the
side Of the wagon. about midway between
the noor and the roof and this will be the
bed OF the Ave persons who are on the
trip. IL Is not as easy as hair mattress,
| but Mr.. Van Rensselaer, aims 10 infuse a
certain amount OF roughness to the trip
anyway.
The travellers will not depend for meals
| upon taverns or hotels after the actual
trip is begun. but will carry everything
they need with them.
The motive power for the OUTFIT will be
furnished by two mules. which will he
guided by William James. He will also
care for the four ponies which have been
taken along for the use OF the party. The
| trip from Stubenville to West Orange
will consume ten days.
