A little later the larger houses began to give way, and death by drowning seemed to be in store for every citizen of the place. With the yiolding of the «""»'D houses several persons who had remained in them were drowned, and when the residences and business places began to crumble the fatality began to double.

Chicago, Oct 15."—The Episcopal convention was mainly occupied with a discussion of the resolution proposing a otange of the name of the church from Protestant Episcopal to "The Church" or to "American Catholic Church." Rev. Philip Brooks, of Boston, said the sttbject was the moet important before the convention. It was more important than the revision of the prayer book. He was in favor of the retention of the present name, and saw no reason why the pre—it name should be disturbed. The object of the change proposed was to declare that they were the distinctive church, and were the exclusive repreeentatives of Jesus Christ in the land and the only authorized administrators of the faith. It was possible that the church might declare itself the one great church of the land, but would not its comparative insignificance as 4 religious body make such a claim absurd! It seemed to him that it wa« provoking testimony against itself by claiming for itself the name of American. It could not advanoe any grand claim to be the church of America as representing the spiritual life of the country. It was only upon the assertion that it was the possessor of apostolic suocsssipn as the substanos and essenoe of the life of the church that it could claim the proposed title. The name proposed had no oonceivable explanation; but making this theory the central doctrine of the church would alienate hundreds from it and would doom the church to ruin.
