There was a large attendance of teachers and educators. Henry A. Wise, of Baltimore, read a paper apon the Introduction of manual training at 5he present time into the public schools. The question of denominational schools was taken jp, and Bishop John J. Keane, of Washington, read a paper prepared by Cardinal Gibbons upon the question, "Should Americans E Iticaie their Children in Denominational Schools!" Bishop Keane afterwards read an able J aper of his own on the same subject, taking the position that Christianity was the basis of a'.l true governments, and should be Inculcated iluring the period when children were at! ending school. Mr. Edwin D. Mead, of Boston, said that the arguments advanced by Cardinal Gibbons in the magazines in favor of the noninterference of the state with the family in the matter of education was only a devios to damage the state's authority in publio opinion, to the end that the Roman Catbolio churcU especially could take charge when possible. He said the plan of the Romish ohurd i was to compel all Catholics to withdraw their children from the publio schools to parochial schools, where they would be taught the doctrines of the church. Such a system, he said, would not be tolerated in America. Runaway Cars Run Down a Pa-ssenger Train. 4—I—j 1 C• MANT ABE SllLED ANA iWUHED.

Some are rich and will lose money for a while to try and keep the trade, but it is only a matter of time, they are business men and will not lose all they have made while we are getting a living profit on all the goods we sell.

York, July 11—The Press says: Archbishop Corrigan is going to Rome in October. This announcement is made on absolute authority, and will be seen to hare important significance. For a long time, it is raid, there has bean a feeling in Rome that the advancement of Arohbishop Corrigan from the unimportant see of Newark to the metropolitan see of New York was not the wisest act the church authorities have performed in recent years. When a student Id Rome, Archbishop Corrigan gave promise of becoming a good leader and an excellent tactician, and his advancement to an important see was predicted. His administration of the diocese of Newark did not entirely realise these hopes. His appointment to the archiepisoopal see of New York was a surprise to every one. It Is a matter of history among the Catholio clergy that Cardinnl McCloakey was as much pained as surprised when the name of his coadjutor and pro'jable successor was made known. "Well, God help New Yorkl" was his sious comment How the Accident Occurred. A watch was dropped in % cesspool and the men were endeavoring to recover it. They dug a large hole at the side of the pool, This hole was filled with water by the ra n. Out man stood on a ladder above the water and made an opening into the cesspool. The foui air anil gas rushed out and ove. came him, and he fell into lb# watef A friend went to his assistance and w*g likewise overcome.

Now there it it, and here are the reasons which will »eero as plain to you as they are to us .• Our parent house in New York have 50 of the best experienced buyers in the country, (each being an expert in hU line,) that are constantly on the lookout for every shaky concern in the land, every sherifl sale, every auction mart, with unlimited quantity of Cold Cash iu hand to secure any lot, let it be large or small, that is oflered at less than market value sometimes at half and sometimes at even less than half their cost.

Did you ever think of the size of New York City alone with a Sheriff with his twenty marshalls busy every day of the year in selling out bankrupt stock of importers, wholesale and retail merchants, that had to succomb to the inevitable note and credit system, and others on the brink of the precipice, throwing away a part of their cargo in vain hope to weather the storm. Here is where our cash buyers make their harvest and cartloads after cartloads art, received in our parent house every day in this way and then distributed among their hundred representative houses throughout the land to be sold to the people at a very small advance from the cost, let the value be what it may; hence our unprecedented bargains and as founding low prices on everything. These are the reasons why other houses which have not and cannot have such connection (as we have the control of the goods in this section) cannot compete with u», is it not plain to you now. Another point; are the goods any poorer after going through the sheri# or the auctioneers' hands ? You have too much good sense to need discussing this, you will know that Clark's Cotton is Clark's Cotton, after as it was before the auctioneer's hammer struck it, and you can judge for yourself when you sec the goods that they are nice, stylish, desirable and staple, although the price is so astonishingly low. We could get more for them of course, but we are not allowed to do it by our connections with the parent house, what they want is the large sales of the branch houses all over the country in order to enable them to handl e unlimited quantity of goods, to buy any lot of good goods offered way below market value. That is the cause as to our being restricted as to charging more than a small uniform percentage on every item handled. Many customers say, why you could just as well get double what you ask for this and that item, and the buyers would be better pleaded and less afraid of the quality if they paid nearer the value, etc ? Quite true as to tte beginning, and we know it well, but we rely on the gooa judgment of our patrons also in their justice to say a good word for us when they find that our goods are much better than (hey expected when they bought them, and we believe that their friendship and good feeling will enduce their friends to visit us and try some of our bargains which will keep increasing our sales and secure the permanence of our establishment in this place and give the fmblic the benefit of our connection and faciities for getting and selling good goods at lower prices than they can be manufactured—all we ask you is to compare our prices—quality for quality with any other place and be convinced of the truth of our statements. TO DISSOLVE THE CORPORATION, as a Hatter of Coarse. James Crawford, bricklayer. Alfred Kur.kler, laborer. John Cleary, blacksmith. Frank Maloney, plasterer. Crawford and C.eary were married. London, July 18.—The latest murder In Wbitechapel is far from reviving the excitement occasioned by Jack the Ripper's fiendish work last September. The fact is, people have all along settled down to the conviction that the murderer was only taking a vacation, and no one is surprised at the discovery that be has again appeared to indu ge in his pastime of murder. Then, too, the prevailing idea that the police are impotent to solve the dread mystery serves to render people callous, as the excitement of the chase after the perpetrator of the crime is entirely missing. Since Bishop Corrigan's arrival here there has been opposition to his diocesan policy und personal activity on the part of the clergy of the diocese. From the beginning a Large number formally paid the respect due the head of the diocese an J in no way have sought to become familiar or even friendly with their superior.

An earthquake shock has been felt on tht Island of Orrau and on tbe mainland ol Scotland. Houses were shaken. Ordered to Rom*. Things have gone on in this unsatisfactory way until the authorities in Rome have, it is said, decided that it was time to interfere, and the archbishop has received orders to report to the propaganda in Rome. This institution is a council or oollege of ecclesiastics exercising authority over church matters in all missionary countries. Before this body his grace Archbishop Corrigan must render an acoount of his stewardship. The state department ha* been informed that yellow [oyer tyas broken out at Colon, pn the Isthmus of Panama.

Governor Goodell and council of Connecticut have appointed ex-Governor Charles Q. Sawyer jommissionor to the Paris exposition. The passenger cars were loaded with miners, slate pickers and women. At Coal Rut switch the road branches on to the main line, which had heretofore been hidden by a chain of mountains. After the train gained thi main lino a miner sitting on the rear plat form saw the two runaway oars dashing dowi the track at lightning speed.

After this application Lad been graiite I, an application for an order appointing a receiver was also made and granted. Gerhard Lang was appointed to act in that capacity, and his bond was fixed at $109,000. A resolution by Mr. Oil .ate provid'ng that the district comm.ttee of the Bur association in each district throughout the state be requested to furnish to L B. Proctor before Nov. 1 a list or all practicing lawyeis in their respective districts, together with eacb one's address, was also adopted. This denouement has been precipitated by rcoont events in the diocese. When the Catholic university was projected Archbishop Currigali heartily indorsed the scheme. Afterward, through pique at the position assumed by Cardinal Qibbons, he withdrew from the management The feeling created by this act in Rome can be judged from the fact that Bishop Keane, head of the university, on his arrival from the Vatican, did not visit the archbishop, but took up his residence while in the city with the Paul 1st fathers. The same conduct toward Archbishop Corrigan was repeated when Bishop Keane was in the city a few weeks ago, and made the snub unmistakable. The Maguire case, where burial In consecrated ground was denied, although the dead man had conformed to all the requirements of the church, caused widespread comment among the Catholic clergy. The Beginning of the Trouble. Norvjn Green, John Jay Knox and others, of New York; Henry G. Q'Neil, of Louisville, and John Qilmore, of Qivensboro', Ky., have incorporated a company to be known as the Standard Reoord company for printing calculating and recording financial ftnd other transactions. Tbe company has a capital of (500,000. It is stated that "Jack the Ripper" wrote a letter to the polioe officials before tha murder, stating that he was about to "resume his work." , An inju ction «a3 also granted restraining Sherman Bros. & Co. (Limited) from exercising any of thair corpora* rights. There hi no longer any doubt of W. H. Sherman being in hiding, probably in Canada. The current rumor is that he and his wife are at Lowiston, Out. All the persons arrested on suspicion immediately after the discovery of the murder bave been released, and the polioe evidently des;Dair of finding a clew to the perpetrator of the murder. The woman's name wai Alice UcEensie. A Cup and a Pume fur VachUinan. New Catch Steak Salmon. By this time the inmates of the two pa» seuger cars, which were literally packed, be held the danger, and a wild scene of confusion ensued. A simultaneous rush far the doors was made. A few suoceeded in gaininf the platforms and safely jumped off; then • vmi occurred in the doorway. A number esi uped through the open windows and rolled down a steep embankment. Mrs. John Mc Hugh, about to become a mother, leaped fron her seat and shouted to the men in the real car: "Clear the way tor mew" Instantly tht, men who were fighting like demons to gei out, cleared a passage way, through whicl the woman ran out to the platform anc jumped off the fly fag train into the creek. A second later the crash came. After the runaway cars struck they phased through thi passenger cars like a bullet, the coal flying about like a battery of Gatling guns playing on regiments of maaaed troopa.

A leaky gas pipe nearly caused the death o! twenty-fire persons from asphyxiation in a Chicago tenement hcuse. Again, although there was a seminary for the diocese at Troy, the arohblshop wished to leave a monument of his teal for the propagation of the faith by building another seminary In the immediate vicinity of this city, and preparations were made to that end. Rev. Father Donnelly, of St. Hichael's, and others of the clergy were associated with Eugene Kelly, President Hoguet, of the Emigrant Industrial Savings bank, ex-Mayor William R. Grace and other laymen to procure a site. The sum of (26,000 was raistd toward defraying the cost of the new seminary, which was to ccst (400,000, and the archbishop subscribed (10,060 of this amount himself. But the project was nipped in the bud by an order from Rome to drop the seminary until the new university at Washington was built. It is certain, say those who ought to know, that the archbishop is not in favor with bis ecclesiastical superiors.

In an interview she explained that she was going on the stage to earn a living for herself and little boy. Her going on the stage, she said, was not a new idea, and she had signed a contract with Mme. Modjeaka and Mr. Frohman to cover a period of four years before ihe and young Blaine were married. They lived happily together for a time, though she did not altogether give up her dramatic aspirations. Just now she did not care to discuss her domestic troubles. Mrs. Blaine's only experience on the stage was In an amateur opera performance. William B.

Choice How the Runaway Oars Started. The cars that caused th* wreck startac from the Excelsior colliery, two miles e»»1 of Coal Run switch. There were four can standing on the siding below the colliery, and it is supposed that some boys, in ordei to obtain a ride, uncoupled the two and loosenc-d the brakes. When nearing a patent switch leading to the main track the brake* were put on, but the boys being unable tc tighten them enough became frightened, jumped off and took to th* woods. Wrecking crews are now on the soene ol the disaster and will have the road open tot traffic by morning. The railroad will su» tain a loss of $15,000. TEAS AMD COFFEES. Dr. MeGlynn Will Go, Too. Macon, Ma, July 18.—William P. Hills, a brakeman, was shot and killed on a passenger train Monday night by Louis Hughes. The men got into a fight over the rate oi fare and the shooting occurred when Hilli undertook to eject Hughes from the train. Hughes says that he fired in self defense. The coroner's Jury returned a verdict that the shooting was not Justifiable. Shot by an ejected Passenger. About the time Archbishop Corrigan starts for Rome another prominent figure in the Catholic clerical world will stare in the same direction. The Rev.'Dr. MeGlynn in the fall will also go to Europe. This is all any of the doctor's friends will now say. There is every reason to believe, however, that, encouraged by the recent decision In the Mc- Quaid-Lambert case, the friends of Dr. Mo- Giynn will reopen his case before the Propaganda. Rev.
