The topic of the evening was "The n'titude of the secular pre * In America toward religion." The opening paper by,. Rev. Washington Gladden, o£ Columbus, O., was a close, careful review of the attituio of the press generally, criticising it sharply at times. He provoked a laugh by tnying in his opening sentence thut "the attitude of the average American editor toward religion is one of calm superiority." He has no more doubt of what should be said about the views of great divines than of what ho should say about thoso of Schurz or Gov. St. John, and in short ho has no moro respect for occie siastical than political celebrities. Thirty years ago the secular pross left religious matters to a religious pross, but in the broader scope of modern journalism it has boon seon that the doings 01 tho great religious world are worthy of record. 8HE BREAK3 DOWN AGAIN ON A TRIAL Gloucester, Mass., May 18.—For soma time the ownership of a house occupied by 7. Fred Gilbert has bean In dispute, Gilbert's mother having left it to her husband and his heirs. Gilbert and his father could not agree to live together, and the latter left and prve power of attorney to Joseph O. Prootor, a bank president Mr. Proctor went to the boose on one occasion and was refused admi tance, whereupon he burst an inner iocr open, and in doing so the edge of the ipor struck Mrs. Gilbert upon the forehead and knocked her down. For this he was lined In court. Several means were taken to get the family out, and finally a month ■go, when Gilbert was sici in bed, a constable and h's assistants made an onslaught on the place and put all the goods out of doors, not daring, however, to remove Gilbert, as it might jeopardize his life. The goods have remained on the highway exposed to all sorts of weather until now they are worthless.

Mutuals. 18.75. New York, May 13.—The steel cruiser Dolphin—candidate for a place on the United State navy list—set out from her berth at ftoach'8 iron works for a trip up the Sound. It was a test run, and on board of her was a carefully selected company of naval experts and friends of the builder, John Roach. Special orders had been given to have everything most carefully examined so as to guard against a possible mishap Every valve had been repacked, every jouraul examined and given an extra lubrication with the best of machinery oil. The boiler had been filled and refilled so that there would be no trouble about getting and keeping a good head of steam. The supply of fuel, too, was a selected lot of coal free from all flint and ■lag. Among the first to step aboard were tbe supervising board of naval and civilian engineers, who will make all the necessary observations under the order of Secretary Whitney. With this board came the old advisory board of naval officers exclusively, who some time ago made a favorable report upon the last trial trip over the smooth waters of the Sound At that time the machinery failed to show the horsepower demanded by the specifications, a fault which Mr. Roach explained was caused by a change in the diameter of the screw, the change having been made on the advice of the advisory board with the intention of securing greater speed. There were a few professional friends of the examiners and of the builder adiuilled on board to see the trial trip, but reporters were carefully left behind on the dock, lest, as Mr. Roach expressed it, they might "embarrass thoee making the tests." New York, May 18.—The World (Dem., has the following from its Washington correspondent: A great deal of importance is attached to the plans of Senator John Sherman by the Republican leaders who are in Washington. It is generally believed that there is some sort of understanding between Mr. Sherman and Mr. Blain-—*-— have entered into an alliance a tin wottc similar to the one entered into between Messrs. Blaine and Logan before the meeting of the last June convention in Chicago. Senator Sherman is to make a trip through the south very soon with a view of seeing what can be done in working up Republican sentiment there in his favor. Mr. Sherman believes that he is almost the only Republican who can carry both the state of Ohio and the state of New Y.ork in the next presidential election. Mr. Sherman has been encouraged in his candidacy by a number of eastern capitalists. He is popular with the politicians of his party in one sense of the word, for they believe that he will have nothing to do with the humbug of civil service reform. It is said that Mr. Blaine is not anxious to take part again in, any political canvass. He had altogether too hard a time last year. He would fear the physical consequences of enduring another similar strain. He would like to return to power, however, if he could do it as the leader of the cabinet under a new Republican administration Mr. Blaine regards Mr. Sherman as one of the most available men to put forward at tho present time for people to ta'Jc about. Gen. Logan may bo prominent, too, as a candidate, if he should win in the senatorial election in Illinois. It is understood here that there is a coolness between Blaine an# Logan growing out of the result of the campaign, and that there could be no possible alliance between them in the future. Harkisbuio, May 12.—In the Senate toCi«y Mr. Hall's new rule postponing appropriations ta private charities until the regular appropriations to State institutions have been diepoMd of was adopted. A message from the Governor was read, suggesting to the Legislature the propriety of withdrawing the Senatorial Apportionment bill for ameadment so a* to provide for an apportionment ef Representative districts. The Governor states that the measure is but a partial compliance with the constitutional command that the State shall be apportioned into both Senatorial and Bepreaentative districts, and suggests that the Representative Apportionment bill on the legislative files be incorporated with the oae new in hi« hand. Laid en the table. Lokdon, May 18.—Tho government has weathered the second storm of the week, and is now considered certain to drag on until the general election next autumn. It was, however, by a close shave' that defeat was averted, and the scene in tho house be-, fore and during th9 division was one of the liveliest of the present session. The ministers took a bold stand to keep theli'followers togother by pledging themselves to resign if defeated by Sir L. M. Lopes' amendment, which sought to charge the cost of the new registration to the exchequer instead of to tho local rate*. Every Liberal understood, tbeiefore, that if he voted with Sir Massoy he voted not only to pave his immediate constituents from a turdensome tax. but nlso to •verthnw tho Liberal party. This consideration undoubtedly kept many waverers in line, tut (he element that really turned the tide of battle was the vote of tho Irish liberal". Just before the division the whips saw that the day was lost without the 15 Liberal votes from Ireland. The Irish members saw their power and drove a hard bargain with the government. At tlje last moment Mr. Gladstone consented to give the bribo demanded, and it was announced that the government would pay out of the exchequer $200,000 toward tho expenses of registration in England and $75,000 toward those in Ireland. This concession was in direct opposi tion to one of Mr. Gladstone's favorite fads, which is that local expenses mast be borne by local rates, and it is certain that it would not have been grant&Vif tho situation bad not been recognized as reallv desperate. As it was, the government obtained a majority of only 23 in a total vote of 538, and the defection of the IS Irish Liberals would have changed it to an opposition majority of eight. Moreover the government. by giving the $275,000, really granted the very gravamen of the Tory amendment, as it makes not the slightest difference in principle, whether the whole or a part of the registration costs are borne by the imperial exchequer. In other words the government voluntarily surrendered to avoid surrender by compulsion, and defeated itself to avert defeat. Third lace — Seven furlongs: Wiuteail won, Mordant second. Time, 1:82.

When Snowden had covered 460 miles he was presented with a check for •250 by the Raymond Skate company. At7 o'clock W.

Their enterprise has reached out to cabling Spurgeon's sermons from London to America, and to telegraphing the entire revised New T stamen t from New York to Chicago. The proceedings of this congress are spread before hundreds of thousands through the secular projs, and it will do a grand work in aid of tho objects of tho congress. If the constable could have ejected the tenants and all the household effects he would have mado a return upon his writ, bat as he did not gain possession, as his papers from tho court called for, he and Mr. Proctor are left in a predicament. While Mr. Proctor had an undisputed claim to the property and a right to eject the tenants, the Gilbert family have the sympathy of most people from the fact that Gilbert was too sick to be removed and Proctor was not in need of (he property, as he is a rich man. Proctor made some overtures toward a settlement, but they have been rejected, and Gen. Butler has now sued Proctor in Mrs. Gilbert's behalf for $15,000, and it is the general opinion that somebody will have to pay for the furniture which has been destroyed. The Gilbert family have lived in one room since the ejectment, and the sick man remains the same and will probably never recover, as he has consumption of a dangerous type. The bills making the maximum on the general fund ef the Treast./ $1, MO,000 and to enable fire insurance companies to insure against loss by storms, etc., were psgaed. The bill repealing the laws relating to collateral inheritance was discussed. Ref. Julias H. Ward, a clergyman-journalist of Boston, presented the next paper, which was a cairn, logical discussion ot tho influence of the secular press, whose wide circulation among all classes makes it of immense value in the dissemination of religious matters. Its editors discuss religions topics more fairly, as a rule, than very many religious journals, which are wrapped up in denominational partisanship, and to the secular press tho American people must look more and more for fair discussion of those views which tend to Christian unity.

The replies were substantially that such religious views are collected as tho readers demand. It is governed by a commercial pclicy to print what is most interesting. The editorial policy is directed by considerations of whatever will advance the social welfare. The policy is that of widest toleration toward all sects, and editors discern a disposition t» get rid of non-essentials in the church and to reach Christian unity. EVIDENCE ENOUGH TO HANG THEM. The plan of the test was to have a sixlour straightaway run over the quiet waters 3f the Sound from a point opposite Execution Light. During this run the observations as to speed and power were to be taken. An early start was made, so that the favorar ble conditions for making time might be availed of. A liberal supply of stores had been taken aboard, and Mr. Roach had evidently provided so well that the contemplated landing at New Haven and return by rail was abandoned and the night spent on the vessel, which .waited in the Sound. For • fortnight past the supervising board has been making a survey of the craft as she lay at the dock, and the trial trip will close up the examination and permit a report to Secretary Whitney within a tow days.

Chicago, May 13.—Giovanni Azzeo, Antonio Mercurio and Iagaxio Bove, the three Italian suspects in the mnrder of Fhilippo Caruso, have confessed in the presence of witnesses all their connection with the murder, and out of the month of each one enough evidence hat been secured to hang all three. They were brought to the Central station and each was subjected to a rigorous examination by Lieut. Shea, with tM help of Officer Morris, the Italian speaking policeman. The confessions of Gilardo were exaggerated somewhat in order to frighten them. They were informed that Gilardo accused them of committing the murder and saw them do it. This seeming treachery had the desired effect, and first Azxeo, then Mercurio and Bove in turn Implicated the two others. Their deposition implicated Gilardo as an accessory only. Louisville.

According to these reports Sherman is to bo a candidate for governor in Ohio at the next election and to withdraw from the ca ivass for re-election for senator. These 8.cries have perhaps a grain of truth at the bottom. Foster has been on here for a number of visits during the spring. He dislikes Sherman very thoroughly, however, and would not come around to he)p him again in his presidential ambition unless he were assured in advance of his pay. Ever since the Chicago convention of 1880 he has talked very plainly about that statesman. Ohio p9ople here do not believe that Mr. Sherman could carry Ohio if he were to , run as governor. They say that he is the deadest and most unpopular man among the Republicans in the state. There is no doubt that Blaine is willing to have Senator Sherman go ahoad and try his hand in seeing what lie can do to become governor of Ohio. If he succeeds th-'re he will be considered in the list of candidates. If he should fail Mr. Blaine would be looking out for another partner for 1888.

"I tell you," said one of the foremen about the Roach works, "there never was a vessel constructed with more care than the Dolphin. The 'oid man' took a special prido in her, and from the time the blooms were pulled every stroke of work dcn3 has been under the eye ot the government inspectors. Every plate as it was rolled was looked over, and if there was the least bit of a fold or crease it did not get the stamp on it and did not go into the ship. So on all the way np to the driving of the last tack. The government will take her and get a bargain, too." Woodbine, Ky., May 18.—Intelligence has Just been received that another chapte has been added to the bloody record of the Bell county vendetta and three more persons sent into eternity by Andrew J. Johnson, the notorious outlaw and apparently implacable demon. As Josiah Hanking jailer of Bell county, was returning from church, accompanied by several of his children and Ti:ee. Napier, the whole nert.y was fired upo i by Johnson, who was lying in wait behind a building in the town of Pineville. H ask ins, his little daughter, 10 years old, and Napier were instantly killed. The weapon used was a large revolver, the first shot killing N.- pier and the second killing both Haskins and the child, who was standing behind her father in the wagon with ber hands upon his shoulder. Financtaland OomenlsL NBW YORK STOCK [As rt ported by Judd, Nye ft Co., Brokers, Soranton, Pittston and WUkee-Bairct over 'heir private wire, enabling them to execute orders inBtanlly. ] Tho predominant feeling among the Conservative leaders since tho defeat of Lord Hamilton'.! motion of censure is plainly in lavor of a suspension of indiscriminate attacks upon the government until the publication of the papers rrtiating to the recent negotiations with Russia. Lord Granville's announcement that as a part of the agreement betwoon himself and tho Russian representative! in London, England insists that oil future diplomatic communications between the ameer and foreign powers shall be mri'le through the Indian government, is regarded with deep satisfaction, and has greatly increased public respect for the Gladstone cabinet. The way in which the murder was committed is contained in all three of the confessions in a more or less complete manner. It was the custom of these men to shave each other when required, and in order to take Caruso unawares, it was proposed by Marcurio to shave their victim. When he was seated in the chair Bove and Aneo took him by the arms to prevent his escape, and Mercurio pulled his head back upon the top of the chair, gripping his windpipe until the wretched victim of their avarice ceased to move. During the frantic efforts of the strangling man to escape from death, his trousers pocket, containing tha coveted money, was cut by one of the assassins and the savings of his life extracted. The trunk was then purchased and the body packed therein. The confessions allege that murder was not at first intended, but simply the overpowering of the man so that he could be robbed, that the murderous grip of Mercurio was too quick in its result, and when he let go, after the money was taken, Cariao fell forward on the floor dead.

The ship looked like a clumsy yacht as she steamed out into the river and turned bar long, ram-like nose up stream for the run to the mouth of the Bound. The raking masts and funnel gave her a piratical cut and ex pression. A bridge amidships, with a few ports in the high bulwarks, together with the free, open deck, showed that she was built for a special purpose, and that It was so constructed as to main the least exposure in case of trouble. Those on shore rsmarked the tendency to churn up the waters in her wake as she cleared the dock, and thas was the subject of some adverse criticism. Gen. Grant In Pain. New York, May 18.—"Father is suffering," said Col. Fred Grant, "owing, I think, to the chilliness of the atmosphere during hie drive. He did not dictate yesterday, but confined himself to reviewing some work already written up." This assassination is the resuit of a difficulty between Napier and Johnson on the day of the last presidential election, when Napier was wounded in the eye by a shot from Johnson's ever-ready pistol. As soon as Johnson had oommitted the bloody (lead he called to his aid two of his friends, and they were intrenched in Jchuwn'i hows) at dark, defying the authoritieaand threatening to kill the first person who undertook tb D arrest of the murderer. Excitement »s i at fever heat when our informant left Pincville, and a posse was being; summoned to storm Johnson's place and capture the culprit and his supporters. . It is regarded as a bold move for a British protectorate over Afghanistan, and at the same time it is recognized as certain, rooner or later, if insisted ipon, to lead to war with Russia. This indication of firmness on Mr. Gladstone's part, together with a disinclination to jeopardize the important domestic reforms boing carried out by the government, decreases the probabilities that the government will te needlessly harassed for the present. The Conservatives now seem inclined to remain quiescent until it is seen how Russia meets Lord Granville's claim to exclusive influence in Afghanistan, or rather with what degrfee of firmness Mr. Gladstone will meet the protest which it is believed Russia will certainly make against such ae a ramption.
