1HE LONGEST ON RECORD. The Lutheran Convention the Busiest Kuown in the Synod's History. WORK OF THE CLOSING SESSION A Break For Liberty—S8he Wanted to Die—The Rain Storm—Two Fires—School Matters =Other Local. The Lutheran Convention. The synod convened at 8:30 and opened with prayer by Rev. E. K. Bell. It was resolved that the synod would stand finally adjourned on Monday evening next at 4 o'clock. On motion of Rev. J.C. Kuuffman it was resolver that o commit- tee should be appointed to devise ways and means to prevent such frequent and protracted vacanci in the congrega- tions, This same subject bhad been brought before the synod by overtures proposing the appointment of a board of supuly for vacant charges. ‘T'his had been vlaced in the hands of a committee which reported recommending that the district synods be advised to adopt such legisiation as will require the church council of all charges made vaeant, to report the same nromptly to the president of the synod with which it stands connected, and to seek his counsel respecting the choice of a pastor; and that the presidents of all the district synods be constituted n general commit- tee on whom shall devolve the duty of corresponding and conferring with each other relative to supply of vacant churches and finding fields for capable preachers who desire employment. The report was adopted, The report of the committee on prop- erty of the German Theological semi- nary, in Chieago, occasioned a long dis- cussion, as was frequently the ease dur- ang the session when matter pertaining 1o German work were under considera- tion. ‘The whole subject was referred te the board of education with power to act. The committee to nominate delegutes to other ecclesiastical bodies, reported ahe following names: To the General Assembly of the Pres- byterian Church—Rev, W. M. Baum, D. D., alternate, Rev. L. E. Albert, D. D, To the General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church—Professor W. M. Wynn, Ph. D, alternate, Rev. GeorgeC. Henry. To “the United Synod in the South— Professor P. M. Bikle, Ph. D., alteruate, Rov. P. H. Miller. ‘To the general synod of the Reformed church in the United States: Rev, T, C. Billhemeer, D. 1.; alternute, Roy. W."H. Binglo v Y ‘To the general synod of the Reformed church in America: Rev. N. Van Alstine; alternate, Rev. G. W, Enders. ‘Lo the general conference of the U. B. church: Rev, P. Bergstresser, D. D.;al- ternate, Rev. J. B. Helwig, D. The report was mluulmt The report of the statistical secretary having shown a discrepancy between the number of communigants in the previous report and the number in this report, when the additions were taken into count, oceasioned 8 discussion which d veloped the fact that in some instances astors failed to report all who were en- itled to be cousidered as members and yet were nactive. The motive for ex- ciuding such persons from the list s foun in the fact that the apportionment of money to be collected for benevolent purposes was based upon the number of members on the roll ot each church. [n view of these facts the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of the gon- eral synod that no one can ba dropped frou the rolls of church membership ou earth ex- cept in one of three ways, viz: by death, by honorable transfer, or by excominunication. Resolved, That the different delegations be urged to press this matter upon the notico of their respective synods to prevent im- Dproper reduction of our rolls, ‘I'ne special committee on the Lord's day and temperance, which had been appointed by suggestion of Rev. N. Vun- Alstine, submitted a serious of seven res- olutions setting forth the duty of keep- ing the Sabbath day holy,and the evils of intemperance and the traflic in strong drink, especially in thgir effect upon Lord’s day obscrvance. L'he saloon was declared to be the greatest enemy of the Lord’s day. No action on this report was reached at the time for adjournment, The closing prayer was made by Rev. J. F. Shearer. YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. The closing session of the Lutneran synod was opened with prayer by JRev. . A Earnest, The consideration of the report of the committee on.the Lord’s Day and tem- peranée, which was pending at the close of the morming session, was resumed, and after laying on the table one resolu- tion that seen objectionable, the re- port was adopted. The hymn book committee -asked for instructions concerning the cheap edi- tion of the Book of Worship, which, ata previous session, had been ordered to be published. The' original action was so moditicd that the committee was ordered to publish _an abridged edition of the Book of Worship to contain not ‘more than eighty pages. ‘The committee to make the seleetion of hymns for this abridgement consists of Rev. J. A. Clutz, Rev. Barmitz and Rev. H. L. Baugher, D. D, The report of the committee on the let- ter of the bishop's of the Protestant- Episcopal church on Christian Unity was considered. This report was prepared in a very short time, a8 the lettor was not placed in the hands of the president of he synod until late in its sessions. The following abstract of the report was pre- pared by the author, The report hailed this friendly communication from a com- munion so cl(m'l{ related in its articles of doctrine and its forms of worship ta the church ropresented by this body. 1t also expressed a deep sense of the evils LD, . which.mark the divisions of the christian church and a rendiness to enter in broth- erly conference witn other bodjes for the removal of these evils, bnt held that tho redtoration of organic unityat the present eriod is neither desirable nor practicable. Vhile holding earnestly to the Nicene creed, thi y cannot ‘consent to the view that 8 a suflicient statement of the christian faith as 1t fails to guard agamst grievous errors which have erept into the church and is silent, among other things, on the sacraments, the rmpor administration of waich are in his very declaration accounted w vital feature of chnistian faith and order, On the ‘‘Historie Episcopate” the ground was taken that no form of churel V- ernment is preseribed by the pel or essenttial to its success yet declarmg a willingness to accept the FEpiscopate as it obtained in the Avostolic church and as 1t was understood by the great body of reformers, both Anglican and Ger- man, This report was adopted. Acommittec of three clergymon and ;hren laymen was oints to hold urther conference with the committea of the Protestant Episcopal chureh touchi; fiu‘:he vital question of mutual and co-operation, and this mittee was instru . position that true christian unity must arise out of a-.common faith and to offer as the sufcient basis for this end, m‘s A?burgm rro estanusm by common consent he most catholic ~ expreasion of the pommon faith, ¢ committee consista of Reys.

Van Alstyne presented the re- Kn" of the committee on address of the National Woman's Suflrage assoeiation. The report reviewed the subject and de- clared it to be worth investigation and study, but did not eommit the synod to any definite opinion. The report was adopted without argument. Rev, H. L. Baugher, D. D., presented the report on the state of the charch. The figures found in various places i these reports were brought together and the informa- tion gathered from the reports of the various boards formed (he basis for an inte nwlin‘fi and suggestive review of the whole field of work 1n which the churches and boards of the general synod ar gaged. The report was adopted ordered to be printed in the'form of a tract for general eirculation. On motion ot Rev. H, R. Fenner it was resolved that the secretary of the general synod be instructed to have mailed to 'y Lutheran winister in the United o \. irrespective of synod- and doctrinal differences, the printed minntes of the ion, as soon as the samc I have been issued. J. D. Severiughaus read the report of the comumittec on foreign correspon- dence, suggesting that there was no need of continuing the committee. The com- mittee is therefore discharged, Rev. H. L. Baugher, D. D., introduced ascries of resolutions ealling for the appointment of a committee to prepare a development of Lentier’s small eatechism in the English language, keeping in mind entirc harmony with the teachings of the chureh, ex- actment of statement, simplicity and brevity, both as regards particular parts, and the work asa whole. The transla- tion to be used to be that agreed upon by the joint committee having that matter in charge. The resolutions declared it to be desirable that all English-speaking Lutheran churches should use the same atechism, The resolutions were adopted and Rev. H. L. Baugher, D. D., Rev. N. Ziegler, . Dy, Rev. A, J. ImhofY, D. D., and Rev. b t were appointed as the com- tee'to perform the duty referred to them. Rey. 1. K. Feaner presented the r vort of the commttee on S y schoo! showing an incry 000 in con- tribations over ti two years. The majc schools are on helps. H. L. Baugher, D. D., who repre- in the inter- Rev. sents the Lutheran churcl national lesson connnittee, presented the following preamble and resolutions: Inasmuch as for twelve years and more, for the sake of uniformity, our Sunday schools have been using the “‘Internatienal Sunday School Lessons,” and in all that time have been unable to secure any recogniton of the ganeral church festivals or any plan by which we can with any adoption “and suit- ableness, observe even the land marks of the Christian Y Resolved, That the christian system as set forth by the “Christian Y s ‘more valua- bla than uniformity of lessons without i and that, thereforethis general synod shal appojnt & standing committer to propose or Jjoin with others, who may be appointed from owher bodies of christians in proposing a scheme of Bible study which shall recognize and havmonize with the main features of the Christian Year, for the use of our schools and all others who may unite with us therein, Resolved, That this committee be not llmited as to length of time in which it shall £o over as nearly as possible the whole Bible, Resolved, That it be djscretionary with this committee viewing the signsof thetimes, to issue their work betore the next meeting of the general synod or not, but that they shall report it possible, thelr whole proposed scheme at our next meeting. These resolutions, together with the chool Fepout, wero adobted, and the committee called for therein consists of Revs. K. J. Wolf, 0. D., A. J. Imhofl, D. D., and R ) Rey. H. L. Baugher, D. D., and Mr. P. A, Schnidler. It was ordered that the Sunday school committee be instructed to gather all references to Sunday school work in the reports adopted during the convention, and to publish the same in the form of a circulal Rev, G. W. Eoders mtroduced resolu- tions recommending to the favorable consideration of the church for financial aid the theological m-minarg at Chieago, and suggesting that on the Sunday near- est the 51st of October in each year col- lections should be taken in the German churches for the benefit of this institu- tion. Rev. S. Stall was appointed statistical secretary. The time for the next convention was fixed for the Wednesday aftor Whit Sun- day in 1880, The by-laws were g0 amended as to permit the officers of the gencral synod to change the time and place of meoting, if from any cause 1t should become necessary to do so. 8, Rev, S. B. Barnitz and Rev. J. H. Menges were added to the transporta- tion committee. After singing the familiar long meter doxology, the members united in singing the Lord’s prayer. This brought the business session to a clase, after the longest .eonvention in the history of the syn: i AR A Break For Liberty. The men who were arrested the other mght charged with a conspiracy to rob the Missouri Pacific train, made a des- perate effort yesterday afternoon to es- cape. They were sentonced to thirty days in the county jul on the charge of vagrancy, by Judge Berka. Officers Whalen and Shanohan were detailed to conduct the men to the county jail, The E;honers were ken _up shortly fore. 7 o'clock. Jailor Mil- ler happened to be absent at that hour and the ofiicers started to take the men through the iailer’s residence to the jail. As the officers were passing through the hallway Ed Hartigan and John Wilson made an attempt to escape. Hartigan made a lunge at Ofticer Whalen and was met by a blow in the face that shook his resolution. He was clubbed into submission so that Whalen, by a vigorous use of his club and gun, man- aged to keep the two Hartigans and Tom Foloy under his coutrol,” Wilson was more fortunate at first in his eflort. He succeeded in dodging Officer Shanohan and darted out of the open door, Shano- han gave hot pursuit and after a lively chnse overhauled his man at the corner of Twontieth and Harney streets. The prisoriers were finally secured and locked np. Meanwhile the vpolico are working on clueain axpectation of produc- ing evidence that will convict the men of a more serious offense when they have sarved their vagranny sentence. s ey She Wanted to Drown, Leona Greenwald was taken to the city Jail last’ evening on charge of intoxica- tion, and_attempted to eommit suicide, Tho statement by the police is that Miss Grecowald threw herself into a puddle of water and mud at the corner of Ninth and Jones stroets; and then ran toward the riyer. As she reached the water's edge, Ufficer McOarty, who had been chasing her, reached the river just as she was about to spring in. When Miss Greenwald was from the ‘“‘hurry wi Y escorted to her apartment in hotel de Urmsby she was eovered with a delicately s coat of wud fresco, which she had obtained in the puddle.

Upon his declara- tion she failea to do what she would if she had known men_better. She ought to have just waited for his penitent re- turn, and then have made him buy her a new dress. Instead, she proceeded to bowl up. She then thought of suicide in some manner. She first tried the puddle, to find it too shallow. Theun she went for the river. P — Lightning Struck ‘‘Ze Stove." The storm which has been visiting Omaha during the past week culminated at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon in a down-pour of rain, accompanied by vivid lightning and sharp peals of thunder, The strects ran decp streams of water and the shelterless have had a hard time of it. The experience ot severai localities of the eity was quite unpleasant, owing to the proximity of lightning strokes. The first building which was actually hit was the maison de joie of a notorious woman, whom the inm of her estab- lishment address as *Mc r Emma," bt who i more commonly known as French Em. The lightning struck a chimney of her house, on Twelfth street, between Dodge and Capital avenue, went down into the garret, down a stovepipe, through a stove, jumped to another stovepipe, followed it to tue floor beneath, ran across a brussells earpet, and finally de- scended by anctherstovepipe and a picee of scantling to the ground. Two women in the house were knocked over. One, named Gypsy, wa thrown from a sofa to a standing position in the middle of the room and then knocked down with n suddenncss that made her think her “‘lover’ had arrived Various earthenware articles were bro- ken, and & bottle of whisky was myste- riously transferred from a small shelf to an obscure corner of the room, and still was intact asto contents. Its anxious owner tipped it up and took a long pull before she was reassured, not even being convinced by alreportorial statement that lightning had too much discretion to fool with the tluid. “French Em,”” who is built somewhat on the plan of an em quad, was consider- ably agitated. She led the way to hor own room, where she stated she was asleep when the lightning struck, and 1, “Look at zostove! Look at Him lightning he coom down ze chimney and bust ze stove wide far.” The stove, it may be remarked, is not beyond recovery although somewhat di- 1 ‘I lated. ‘he fire department was called by an alarm when the house struck, but the damp condition of the roof prevented it catching. The water was not turncd on. ANOTHER FIRE. Irank ‘Colpetzer’s house, at Twenty- sixth and Leavenworth streets, wus struck by lightning just before the stroke which caused the alirm spoken of abovs The damage was t, and there ity of turning on the water at , the work being done with the chemicals. The second alarm was sounded while the hose carts of numbers three and five and the extension truck ladder were au Mr. Colpetzer’s residence. It having been learned thut there was no danger of a fire there, the three teams with carts and trucks were sent on the fly for the second box, No. 51. Down Farnam street they came thundering, and passed the opera house just as the Naiad Queen matinee was out. Hundreds of persons were in the streets s cabs and street cars in the rain. The scattering which the swift coming fire engines, th their horses on a mad run, caused was remarkable. eryone regained the sidewalks in safe A STREET CAR TRACK WASHOUT. A washout occurred on the newly ovened Farnamand Park Avenue street car line, The point was on Virginia street near Leavenworth. Iully 100 feet of track was washed away and under- mined so that s could not pass overit. As a result the Farnam and Park Avenue lne cars were run over the St. Mary Avente tracks last evening and some d lay was necessarily caused. The break will be repaired this morning. The Naiad Queen Will Be Presented Again on Tuesday Night. eventh consecutive per- valad Queen’ was given to a large audience at the Boyd. Not- withstanding the rain of yesterday after- noon the performance at the matince was the most largely attended that has ever been given in tho house. Nearly 1,400 people were in the *house. The patronage of this remarkable vro- duction increased from the opening night, notwithstanding thawarm weather until the rain interfered. That alone prevented a succession of houses the largest in the history of the theatre. Be- cause of this rain, therefore, thousands of our people have been prevented from witnessing this almost entrancing piece. The cost of producing the opera however, has been as great as if the houses had been uniformly large, and this expense has not been less than §2,700. 1t would not be well for Omaha to have it said abroad that a epectacle which has eve! here not only attracted thowsands of people but at the same time liberally rvwnrl}iul s man wnt, failed here to receive the attention which the merits of the pieee deserved, and the ‘intelligence, wealth and culture of our people mijght easily bestow uponit.

The prisoner was brought in and the governor listened to the tale of his alibi.

The would bo had come to prison that a that—he he conclusion while in life of crime does not pay. ~ He had tried it. He had also been all his life a burg- lar, He had robbed banks; he had had hundreds of thousands ot dollars pass through his hands, and he was just as poor as when he began; and, having come to that conclusion, he thought that the governor might safely release him, since he fully meaut to quit the business and follow some other pursuit for a hv- ing. But, in so far as burglary in itself is concerned, he wished him to under stand he regarded it just as legitimate a vocation in hife as the practice of law—or of medicine—or the ospel.

We may not knen if, but such is the fret. There are groups of 100, groups of 1,000, and groups of still «er numbers all starting together in life at the same time. All are presumably upon the same footing and with equal advantages and the same good fortune as 300 | to health and tavorable surroundings.

One of these will drag out a lonely existence to age 90, possibly 100, when the last of the group will be no more.
