Among Lutherans in America.

dispatch from Philadelphia says:
| Rev. DIR. Joseph Augustus Seiss, an
acknowledged leader of Lutheranism in
America. of worldwide reputation as a re-
llsious author and distinguished pulpit
orator, died Monday in his home here
Since 1874 he had been pastor Of the Church
| of the Holy Communion
Although he was in his SD year Dr.
Seiss preserved the virility and enthusiasm
! of the prime of life until about three
months ago. An attack of grip then un-
dermlned his constitution. DIR. Seiss spent
forty-six years of his ministry in this city,
He came here in 1858. At the age of eighty
DIR. Seiss, undaunted, assumed the task of
building up new congregation in down.
town church.
Dr. Seiss was born In Frederick county.
Md. He was educated at Pennsylvania
College Gettysburg. and afterward taught
In private academy. He entered the
| Lutheran ministry in Virginia in 1912 and
before coming to Philadelphia was pastor
in Martinsburg and Shepherdstown w Va
| and Cumberland and Baltimore. Md.
The work for which DIR. Seiss is most
noted was in bringing about the founding
of the general council of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in North America and in
opposing the revision of the historic Augs-
burg confession AS the editor of the Luz
theran and the Prophetic Times for many
years and as an orator he was influential
in directing the actions and movements Of
the church at a critical period.
DR.. Seiss was for many years president
of the general council and president and
senior member of the mnisterium for
Pennsylvania and adjacent states. At the
time of his death he was president of the
Mt. Airy Lutheran Theological Seminary
in which he was the prime mover and or
ganZer.
His sermons and books on religious sub
jects have been translated into many Ian
guages and circulated through the Luther
an world. DR. Seiss was a voluminous
writer. Among his best known works are
Popular Lectures on the Epstle to the
Hebrews, Baptist System Examined,
Last Times" digest of Christ's Doc
trine," Book of Worship" plain Words"
Truth Made Plain "A Miracle in Stone"
Life After Death" Blossoms of Faith"

French Party Feeling Over Charges.

A cablegram from Paris says: Party
feeling Is running high over the in
vestigation into alleged Attempts to corrupt
members of the government in connection
with the question of the expulsion of the
monks Of the Carthusian order. In the
chamber of deputies an opposition deputy
proposed to ask the government what
steps it intended to take in consequence of
the incident, which Edward combes. sec
rotary general Of the ministry of the in
terror, and the son OF Premier Combes.
and Michel La Grave, the French commits
sioner to the st. Louis exposition, in giving
each other the lie direct, had shown them
selves unfit to hold important functions.
Members of the opposition make no at
tempt to conceal their hopes that the Incl
dents in connection with the incident will
result ip the fall Of the caboaet within a
short time.

LOOKING FOR LOOMS.
Fears That He May Have Been Thrown
Overheard

A dispatch from Parkersburg w Va,
last night says: The friends of Kent Loom
is, the brother of Assistant Secretary of
State Frank Loomis who disappeared from
the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm H. at or near
Plymouth, England, at midnight last Sun
day, are mystified about the affair. They
cannot believe that in calm weather he
could have been pitched overheard by acci-
dent
The suicide theory is not countenanced
by any one who knew MIN, for his spirits
before leaving were buoyant He looked
forward with The greatest pleasure to the
journey and anticipated making a splendid
salary while away.
He left behind his little son of five weeks
to whom he was devoted, and wife, whose
home l.fe with him was unusually happy.
There was no cause for wishing to end life.
There is but one theory here as TO how
he got off the boat and that is that he was
thrown overheard.
Information received from Assistant Seq
rotary of State Loomis indicates that an in
vestigation has been quietly begun.
Mr.. Loomis was going to Abyssinia as the
representative of an American syndicate.
w. FL Ellis, a Cuban, with offices in New
York, was the active member of the syndi-
cate ana expected to secure valuable pri-
vate trade concessions from King MeneIik.
Mr.. LOOMS was sent as the representa-
tive of the syndicate to vouch to Menelik
for Ellis and his party, and was also to re-
port back to Americans interested on Ellis
success in securing what they wanted.
Incidentally, he was carrying with him the
recently signed commercial treaty with
Menelik granting to Americans generally
greater trade opportunities, which Ellis and
lis party were seeking for themselves indi-
vidually.
Ellis IN ST asked to be allowed to carry the
treaty end deliver ii in person to Menelik,
but Acting Secretary of State LOOMS re-
served TO: his brother the privilege of doing
that Ellis was greatly disappointed when
he found he was not to be allowed to carry
the treaty.
1t is understood from cablegrams receiv-
ed that Ellis now has the treaty in his pcs
sc ssion and it is supposed that he will con-
tinue on the journey with 1t when he sails
from Marseilles, France, on Saturday for
Abyssnia.
Mrs. Loomis is Frustrated by the suspense.
and, while still hoping that her husband will
yet be heard from, Is about convinced that
he has persisted.

as bodies were identified they were turned over

as bodies were identified they were turned over
to undertakers. Soon there were a score or
undertakers' wagons outside the station. and the
crowd grew until the street was almost I'M
passable fully five thousand people surrounding
the house.
When the work OF Identification had been
finished and the remaining bodies had been re-
moved to the Morgue. Coroner Berry made the
following statement:
You may be sure that this most terrible ca
lamity will be Investigated by all departments
of the city government. The District Attorneys
Office is working in concert with the Coroners
office and the Police Department, for the pur-
pose Of fixing the responsibility for the AWFUL
loss Of life. 1t seems TO me that the crew was
not station so as to discover the fire in time.
Had thew been properly distributed about the
boat l believe that the loss OF life would have
been materially lessened, if not prevented en-
tirey for had the fire been handled properly II
could have been extinguished without trouble
I am surprised also at the neglect displayed by
the in their efforts to prevent panic
Their duty when they saw that the IRE was
beyond their control plainly was TO distribute
life preservers among the passengers. bur tn,s
they seem to have overlooked entirely IN their
mad desire to escape themselves.
Coroner O'Gornan thought there would not
be enough collins available in the city for all

North Brother Island all night with squad Of

The work of searching for the bodies looked

Searchlights from the steamer Patrol We're
focused on the lawn where the corpses were
in rows and the men AT work tagging the bodies
were armed with lanterns, which added to the
Weirdness Of the scene

recovering the bodies of four children from the

child All We're burned beyond recognition.
