The general returned to this eity knowing that his duath warrant had practically been slgnt*fc but he met the issue! with such courage that even his friends were unable from Ills bearing to learn that the general had been obliged to give up hope. A few (lays later "la grippe," which later developed Into pleurisy, attacked him, and assisted the cancer in causing death. Death came peacefully and the end was quiet. GENERAL CARK DEAD. A Cancer in (lie Throat Assisted by Grip I ho Cause. Troy, N. Y., Feb. 25.—The flags upon the city hall and the state armory in this city are at half mast in civic and militant recognition of the death of Major General Joseph B. Carr, of this city. Genera I Carr died at his home on Fifth avenue yesterday after an ill- ness of long standing, though he was confined to his bed only about six \YWks. A cancer, which had its inception In The cheek and which later spread to the jaw and throat, was the cause of death. General Carr was operated upon several times for the removal of the cancer at St. John's hospital, N. Y. DY1NG OF HYDROPHOBIA. Colonel Ingersoll added humor, and perhaps force, to some of his arguments by apt references to the law ■which fOTbade his saying some things, but did not forbid his repeating what others said, and left him free to ask questions. "Wo Told You So." "No," answered a man in a box. "Is the bible moral?" he asked. "That's for you to say—not for me. The law allows me to ask the question, and you've got a right to think about it. It you'll do it In secret." He said of the Hoboken preachers again: And again, as in quoting Instances wihere Jehovah had ordered the slaughter of Innocent women and children and dumb cattle, he said: "I wouldn't believe the God of mercy did that if It wasn't for this law. As long as I'm in New Jersey I suppose I must believe he did it." "They are gluttonous for revenge. They know I'm going to be put in Clod's penitentiary. They know I'm going to roast on brimstone throughout eternity. Imagine the joy with which they may look om the balusters and down on ma, saying 'We told you so.' And not content' with all that, these sanctified swine want to put me In the penltenlary down 'here." The body of the lecture wai that which <iu been often delivered upon the nun* subject, but it was probably never glren before with so much spirit, or to a more thoroughly appreciative audience. Detectives Gallagher and Nelson, detailed to listen to It and to arrest Colonel Incersoll if he actually violated the blasphemy blue law, appeared to be amused and interested throughout. One might have believed that they really enjoyed seeing hot shot poured Into the ministers. Hoboken, N. J., Feb. 25.—Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll lectured In this city last night, and more than a thousand people heaVd him, including the Rev. H. T. Beatty, the Presbyterian minister who dug up the blasphemy blue law and attempted to have the lecture prohibited, and Mr. Herbert Campbell, another of the four men, ana the only layman, who signed the protest and Chief of Police Donovan. There was no interference. Mayor Fagan countermanded his first orders to the police, seeing fit to accept the opinion of Corporation Attorney Mlnturn and thus relieving himself, so far as he could, of all responsibility in the matter. He is a candidate for re-eleciion.Jersey's Bine Law* Did Not Prevent Him from Lecturing on tho Bible. Clergymen Ask the Mayor To Prevent the Zieoture Taking Plaoc, Cat Bob Won. Colonel Ingersoll said a great many things that the Rev. Mr. Beatty could not have enjoyed listening to. Are Jerseymrn Clriliieml? "Put him in the stripes of a convict," say these ministers of this city. "That'll show him whether there is a God or not!" A preacher with any confidence In hla own religion should be ashamed to call on the state to protect it—ashamed to stop praying and call in a policeman—ashamoJ to form a partnership with the jailer and the turnkey to establish a doctrine of universal love and peace. A preacher who would put in prison a man who doea not agfee with him in his views of religion has the disposition of a devil. "A hyndred years ago, when most of the citizens of New Jersey we re civilized savages, they passed a law that the subject of the bible should be discussed only on one side. Since then many people over here have become partly civilized, to the extent that they are In favor of fair play and have adopted a constitution which is contrary to the spirit of that absurd, malicious and idiotic law." Pastors "Narrow Minded." The lecturer referred, again to the pastors who had protested against his coming to this city as "narrow-minded, provincial gentlemen, who should have lived and died 300 or 400 years ago." He added, "I'm not blaming the»i at all for what they have done. Their heads are just that shape and they can't help it." He declared that sectarian schools, in which preachers and priests are educated, are "storm centres of Ignorance." He said that many felt "called to the ministry because they haven't constitution enough to be wicked." He ridiculed the conception of a God "who couldn't write a book Uiat did not require the protection of the legislature to prevent its being food for laughter." He went on to say that Shakespeare and Burns got along very well without such protection for their books. ■ai«a. HOTIOIthai mj vlto, Kn. Olant k«rd wlthoat jut win !««».

Four physicians have been In attendance upon her the Inst three days, but beyond administering opiates they have been unable to do very much for her. A pet dog bit the little finger and fleshy part of her left hand on the 4th of December last. The wounds healed nicely but last week began to give her pain. Then she rapidly developed symptoms of hydrophobia, going into convulsions when water was offered her and snapping and flying at those by Irfer bedside.

Berlin, Feb. 25.—Great things were expected from the emperor's speech at the dinner of the Brandenburg diet in the Englisches Haus. The members of tie diet, almost without exception, be- long to the landowning aristocracy. They had been led to believe -that the dinner would be something of an agrarian demonstration and the emperor's speech would agree in most respects with their ideas of agrarian reform. Their hopes were strengthened Just before the dinner with the announcement that the emperor was conferring at the Old Castle with Chancellor Prince Hohenlohe, protoably discussing his speech. It was a bitter disappointment. The emperor referred only briefly to the distress among the peasants and devoted most of his other remarks to the necessity of loyalty, patience .and confidence in the margrave. He did not utter a word which hinted even indirectly at higher tariffs, mare silver or grain trade monopolies.ready and cheerful obedience to the commands at the church. New York, Feb. 26.—In pursuance ot the letter of instruction sent out at the Instigation of Archbishop Corrigan, the papal decree relative to Catholics being members of the secret societies known as Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and Sons of Temperance, was read from the pulpit of nearly every Catholic church in the city yesterday. In all the churahes of the diocese of Newark the decree was read by the officiating priests, with a comment on the decree by Bishop Wigger. The tho Church Cheerfully. They Must.

However, their majority would not have been so great if tha deputies had not deemed Count Kanitz's Krain monopoly impossible and yet felt that they must help nlong the suffering farmers In some way. They recognized In the proposal to reform the currency a fair and practicable way of benefitting German agriculture.The Government To Go Slow. "I know that the government will not act in a hurry. The silver men do not desire haste In this matter nor Would they press forward too rapidly the negotiations for the conference. They are content for the present with their great moral victory which they mean to turn to full account. The government's first step will bo to sound France and arrange a. cordial entente as the basis of the conference. Premier Rlbots' recent utterances on the silver question are of the greatest importance as he took care to explain that his views harmonized with those of M. Hanotaux. the minister of foreign affairs, through whom the understanding oould easily be obtained." Dr. Arendt feels sure of Freiherr von Marsohall's support in the present battle of the standards. He speaks of the foreign secretary as a "fanatical bimetallism" After the reichetag voted for the conference, Arendt says, Mirschall remarked to him: "Now things look hopeful. Some years ago, I remember, you, Count Mirbach, Herr von Kardorff and I were the only bl-metalllsts In Berlin. We were regarded then as something like cranks. Now it is satisfaction to get our views endorsed by a strong majority." 1 from Lord Rosebery tipriwlni sympathy with the bimetalllets. Dr. Arendt does not see why the key to the situation should be left In England's hands. If Germany and France move together, he thinks, England must fall in line. If the conservative* come into power In London," he said, "we can count on them to Join us and get the currency right."

He had much to say about the needs of the navy and seemed pleased that the budget committee had voted him four >w cruisers to replace the old-fash- ioned vessels which soon must be withdrawn from distant service. During the dinner the empress telephoned him from the new relchstag building where the Elbe benefit concert was about to gin. She wished to learn whether he was coming. He told her to let the musks begin as he would be unable to be present. The reason he could not go was that he had arranged a consolation entertainment at the Old Castle for the benefit of the downcast agrarians. Shortly after 9 o'clock he teft the KngUsches Haus and half an hour later was enjoying wine, beer and cigars. His guests were the men who during the last week have been conspicuous In the numerous congresses held here In the Interests of the landowners. The Farmers' union, the Bl-metalllc league and the Financial and Economic society were most strongly represented. The emperor talked freely on the topics dear to the agrarian mind, doing his best to atone for the disappointment infloted by his ■Beech. Silver Mea Triumphant. The eoonomlo congresses with agrarian tendencies have been so numerous and obstreperous in the last fe# days that the newspapers have kept a standing column headed "The Agricultural Week."
