BURSTS ITS BOUNDS The Reservoir at Lewiston, Ohio, = Gives Way. ee REPORTS OF MANY LIVES LOS?, Mr. Coudert Begins His Argument at Paris. BOLDNESS OF TRAIN ROBBERS BREAKING OF A RESERVOIR. Reports That Ohio Towns Have Been Sub- merged. Lrwa, Onto, May 3.—Word reached here this morning that the Lewiston reservoir, contain- ing 17,000 acres of water and located at the head of the Miami river, broke at the flood gates at 4a.m. and was rushing toward Sydne; Troy, Piqua, Dayton, Hamilton and intermed ate points ina mighty volume. The break was reported to be spreading and a second Johns- town calamity was feared. The Cinciunati, Hamilton and Dayton Rail- road Company, whose tracks parallel the river, has been notified, and fear that the water,which is already up to the tracks, will cause great damage, if not loss of life. LARGE LOSS OF LIFE FEARED. It was reported that fifteen or twenty lives were lost at the head of the river. Great alarm existed here. Later advices from the Lewiston reservoir are that the break has reached twenty feet in width and spreading rapidly. The resgrvoir was full and what water has passed out has had no effect in diminishing the supply in the least, and the result of a complete giving away is horribie to contemplate. ‘The towns of Lewiston and Newport, several miles down the river, are reported submerged and several lives lost. A courier has left Belle Center for the scene, and it will be impossible to learn anything about the magnitude of the damage done at the reservoir and nearby towns until be ro- turns. It is feared there has been a large loss of life and great damage to property. ae AVERTED FOR THE PRESENT, Opening Two Divisions of the Erie Canal Relieved the Grain Jam at Buffalo. Evrrazo, N. ¥., May 3.—There is an casier feeling in shipping and elevator circles today. The Erie canal was opened in the western and eastern divisions this torning at 8 o'clock, thus making an outlet for the vast amount of grain pouring into this port by lake. ‘The anticipated jam and elevator blockade is thereby averted, at least for the present. Dur- ing the last winter seventy-five grain carriers were tied up in this section and sixty were lying between here and Utica, Although quite * number of these have been classed out by insurance people, there remains still about 100 canal boats fit to convey the grain to tide- water. A large number of canal boats are all ready loaded and clearances taken out. They will proceed to Albany at once. ‘The opening rates are 5 cents on wheat. 43¢ | gents on corn and 435 conte on flaxseed to New or) Sey BOLD TRAIN ROBBERS. They Secured $2,000 From Passengers, but the Express Messenger Was Plucky. Pansoxs, Kax., May 8,—A bold and partially successful train robbery, committed by six bandits supposed to be members of the notor- ious Starr gang, of which Perry Starr is leader, took place at Pryor creek, Indian territory, the scene of many daring robberies, at 8:30 o'clock last night. ‘The train was the Missouri, Kansas rnd Texas south-bound passenger which left here at 4.30 | p.m, When the train reached Pryor creek. which is at a bend in the road and an admirable place for robbery, six masked men emerged from the darkness and after signaling the train proceeded to the front end. "The engineer, fireman, conductor and brake- man were quickly covered with revolvers and marched from the train. While two of the men guarded the trainmen the other four entered the express car, ‘They threatened the messenger with pistol and knife, ordering him to open the safe, but he refused to aecede to their demands. Fail- ing in this, they went to the back part of the train and relieved all the passengers of their money and valuables. Considerable couster- nation existed and several ladies fainted. After depositing the money and valuables in sacks the bandits backed from the car, firing their pistols into the air, and escaping in the darkness, President Martin of the Kansas City, Pitts- burgand Gulf railroad was among the pas- xengers, The amount of booty eccured by the bandits i# unknown, but it is sapposed to be considerably over $2,000. In the party of rail- road men whowcre on the train were the follow- ing: Fred’k Brownson, E. R. Smith, Walter Hinchman, C. H. Ives and Charles 1, Gramis of New York: W. 8. Smith, Charles S.

Pants, May 8.—At the meeting of the Bering sea tribunal of arbitration today Mr. John W. Foster, agent for the United States, informed the tribunal that an authentic report of the speech delivered by James C, Carter of counsel for the United States would be presented this week. F. R. Coudert, esq., of counsel for the United States, then spoke, giving an outine of the arguments wnich he proposed to offer in support of Mr. Carter. The defense of the ing industry in Bering sea by the United States , Mr. Condert declared, imperative, and an attack on the seal- ing industry was an attack on the United States, ‘The United States raised the sealsat the Pribyloff Isiands in the same sense that Australia raised sheep, and it was impossible that the nur- ture and culture of the seal at the Pribvioff Islands could exist in common with pelagic sealing. The seals at the Pribyloff Islands, continued Mr. Coudert, were absolute property, just as cattle and sheep were absolute prop- ert, Sir Charles Russell of counsel for Great Britain here interposed with the remark: *Cer- | tainly not.”* Mr. Cotidert admitted that proof as to owner- ship was umpossible. Some propositions were seli-evident, although they could not be demon- strated by’ proof. However, when the scals were at the islands they could be branded and their ears clipped. The British commissioners recognized that the seals were American prop- erty when they said that the guard was sufli- cient to protect the seals from raiders. In that statement the right of the United was recognized, and it was absurd to say that the United States ws unable to protect the ‘seals outside of that limit. Seals, Mr. Coudert argued,; were not fer nature. The British argument was not helped by that Latin term. Mr, Coudert went cn to describe seal life. The seal, he said, was not a marine animal. It goes to sea only to seek food. It possessed the animum revertendt, and the title to the seal asabsolute property was undeniable. The United States did not interfere with the freedom of the seals, which existed for peaceful purposes, and it was not wrong doing on the part of the United States to promote instead of impeding the culture of the animals. ‘The attention of the members of the court, of counsel and spectators was riveted to Mr. Coudert’s remarkable fluency of speech. esoaaSe Should Have Reversed the Order. Wrankrort, Ixp., May 3.—Theopilus Pendle- ton of Wolf Lake came home in an intoxicated state, and ina quarrel with his wife he struck her on the head, killing her instantly. The brute then seized his infant child of six months and beat out its brains against the stove. He then capped the climax by suiciding—cutting his throat. — Burned to the Water's Edge. Corvmnes, Ky,, May 8.—The St. Louis and Mississippi Valley transportation steamer E. M.

Charles E. St. John of Pittsburg. The general topic of the service was the sense of personal relation and nearness to God, and there were a number of interesting and earnest remarks made by different dele- gates to the conference.

INSTRUCTION IN THE BIBLE. “How to Instruct Young People in the Right Use of the Bibie” was the subject of a forty minutes’ paper by Rev. S. KR. Calthrop of Syrae cue, N.Y. The speaker began by saying that the subject was far too large a one ever to deal with properly, so he would confine him- sclf to certain instances that would show what he wanted to _ prove. He would begin by showing how it ought not to be taught. He laid special stress upon the “naturalness” of the new theology. ‘the old theology, he said, knew it ail, and when it came into hostility with facts, so much the worse for the facta. The new theology does not attempt to deal with the origin of the physical body, for itknows that isn matter’ tha belongs to physiological science. It docs not dis- iurb itself ‘th the matter of the stars in heaven, for it knows that belongs tothe realms of astronomical science. Io properly teach the Bible, Kev. Mr. Calthrop said, oue must always remember how large apart of the book is made of legends. ‘There 1s the legend of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden. There is the legend of the deluge and of the Tower of Babel. The latter is wholly ignobie. The legend of the deluge ix noble, The story of Jonah and the whale isa noble story. but it is a story after all. “A few days ago,” said Mr. Calthrop, “Mr. Tallmadge taid to a congregation that I pre- sume was made up of rational people that unless Jonah was actually and literally swal- lowed by the monster and remained three days in the belly of the — then on lseg heap a a dupe or an impostor. Fancy placing the Ser- mn on tie ot ak eee upon the foundation of that story of Jonab and the whale. it wasa good story and the wr.iers of the Thbie had aright to use it just as Zeop might use a fable to point bis moral. “Teach the story, for it will interest children, and a few minutes judicious questioning by the teacher would bring out from a class of scholars under ten years of age what are the noble and what the ignoble stories and legends, Teach the immorial story of the birth of Jesus Christ, but teach it in the same w: METHODS THAT SHOULD BE PURSUED. Mr. Calthrop then went on at some length to explain the methods that ehould be pursued in teaching the Bible. He accented the im- ce of wishing carefully between a ae ees lustrative. The book, he said, is a good book, but it is not Christianity. There is danger of paying too much attention to facts of the Bible that are but facts of the second rate after all. There is too much danger of losing the pound of gold in sifting through the ton of quartz, ‘The eseayist then went ou to explain the ten- ets of the Unitarian faith as it should be laid down before the young. At the close of his paper there was a discussion, participated in by three of those present, upon the subject of the paper. Rev. Mr. May criticized the use by ministers of what he called the “dialect” of creeds. He objected to the phraser, the Son of God, Christ, the words that'go with the story of a supernatural resur- rection, and all else of that sort. If nis bearers were humanitarians they should not depart from the phraseology of humanitariani«m, for any such departure resulted naturally im the confusion. Rev. Mr. Wright protested earnestly that Unitarians were not sufficiently enterprising and wide awake. ‘They were not sufticiently educated in their own beliefs, nor did they preach and teach with sufficient earnestness and freedom what they actually did believe. Mrs. Dix also spoke. CHILDREN AND DOCTRINAL INSTRUCTION, “Shall We Instruct Our Children in the Doc- trines of Unitarianism?” was the subject of a carefully prepared essay by Rev. W. M. Gil-| bert of Vineland, N. J. The question, he thought, simply resolved itself into whether we shall teach children what we believe ts true and right of God. If we answer the general question in @ negative manner we are thrown back upon three alternatives, Either we must te: them what we actually do not believe, what is affirmed upon the affir- mation of others, or we must let them go untaught eltogether. Mere negation ie not food for any soul, and the fact that a child goes untaught is no reason for thinking it will go free from all opinions. The only true way to answer the question is to answer it in the | afirmative. A positive advantage from teaching the young accrues to the adult teacher, for one must un- derstand a subject very well indeed in order to make it intelligible to a child. A sermon to the young frequently demands and receives more intellectual endeavor than any discourse pre- pared for those of more advanced years. Many & preacher can preach a long and deep dise course, when be has not bad ti to prepare short, clear and explicit narrative » he wishes to #a: Another efit that arises from teaching Unitarianism to children is the bencfit that comes to the children themselves, and is an added argumeht in favor of | answer the question in an affirmative way. W believe in giving our children the best we cun of food, clothing and shelter; why not the best then when we come to tell them of God? ‘That our children should know the best of us, they must know and understand our best be- hefs out of which grow our noblest and worthi- est purposes. The third reason for answering this general question in the affirmative arises cut of the Denefits that the community and posterity can derive from the Unitarian Church. If the church is to be made the greatest possible good to hemanity, its children’ must be —— in the doctrines of Unitarianism. ral question simply resolves itself into tandoee ree questions: we do the best we cau for ourselv: all we do the best we can for our children? Shali we do the best we can for the welfare of the community and for pos- terity. Mr. Gilbert found an answer for all three questions in one unbesitating yes. ‘The reading of Mr. Gilbert's paper was fol- lowed by a di-eussion along the line of thought laid down by him. The discussion was led by Rev. G. H. Badger. ‘This was followed by paper read by Miss Lucy Jones of Brook- vile, Me., who spoke of what she thonght should be taught the ‘children in Sanday schools. Pure morality should be instilled, while all such matters a3 religious inspiration should be allowed to take care of themselves, WORK OF THE CONFERENCE. “Our Conference—Its Origin and Work,” was taken by Mra, Charles T. Catlin of Brook- lpn as the subject of an interesting paper, in which she outlined the growth of the confer- date of its organization, December 6, 1 down to the present time. As a result of the existence of the conferences the churches, in- stead of being isolated organizations, have been welded into one homogeneous whole. Rev. J. M.
