Several members of the Committee on Free Bridges accompanied Chief Bigelow yesterday on a 'rip along the south bank of the Monongahela river to inspect the sites available for free bridges. They made their first stop at the foot of Sooth Fifth street, then at South Eighth, Tenth, Twenty-second and Twenty.fifth streets. Not much time was given up to the inspection. After the members returned they had little to say. Messrs. Anderson and Ford were favorable to the South Twenty-second street location, and Fox and Bigbam were favor able either to the Fifth or Eighth street sites, .Robertson favored Eighth street and the balance of the committee were favor able to the purchase of the Teuth street bridge -t a reasonable figure. Alter discussing the merits of the various sites a few moments, the committee ad journed with the understanding that Chief Bigelow will have prepared plans showing the necessary approaches to a bridge at each of the "locations visited, and submit them to the next meeting of the committee. In the meantime a sub-committee to which has been given the task ot ascertaining what the cost to the city would be of exist ing bridges, will cet ready to report. buving the Tenth street bridge, or of buildJ ing a new one at South Twenty-second street. "The Tenth street bridge," he says, "is practically falling down, ifo re pairs worth mentioning have been made on it for a long time, and we should be able to buy it at a low figure. The location is a good one at the present time, being con venient to a large section of that part of the citv. But the Twenty-second street site will prove the best in the long run. While it may not be as satisfactory to South siders just now, it will only be a few years until it will be far more convenient for them than any other. By it they could get to almost any place on this side, east or west, iu the quickest time and by the most pleasant route. I am not in Javor of a bridge below Tenth street'at this time. One further up will be of greater benefit to the people on both sides of the river for the present than even the Smithfield street bridge. Of course it would not be best for those living down in that locality, but unless we get all the bridges at once we can't please all at once, and there will be objections. If the Bridge Committee accepts my advice they will go up the river for their first bridge. As the city is thereafter able the other sites can be occupied until she owns them all."

WHATS after death- Is a Subject on Which the Congrega tional Brethren Differ. STORES WANTS HO NEW DOCTRINE, And Insists Changes Shall Not .Be Hade if He Takes the Chair. PKATBE BOOK AND HIMNAL CHANGES Chicago, Oct. 7. Peace did nut hastily descend upon the American Board of Mis sions to-day. The tellers reported the elec tion of the entire ticket voted on last night, but the partisan discussion which caused Buch dissension in the board yesterday made it doubtful whether Dr. Storrs would ac cept the Presidency. When the result was announced he-said: "One of the brothers present yesterday said that a certain proposition put him in a dilemma. I feel so this morning. I have the kindest and friendliest feeling lor the board, and my desire is to help it in every way in our power. Our administration un der the New York and Minneapoles rules has been successful. We have held that it is not advisable to send men into the foreign field who believe In a probation alter death. I do not wish to teach the heathen what is not taught in the AVord of God. I do not believe in that doctrine, but I do desire to see a liberal catholicity in the board. He Wants No Change In Policy. "My definite, absolute and final position is this: That young men who nre not cer tain whether there is to be a future proba tion, n ho neither affirm nor deny it, but who are willing to leave it to God, and who have all the other qualifications for mis sionaries, should be considered suitable for foreign missionary service. I wish to know distiuctly right now whether the board re affirms the rule ot policy set down.in jxew York and Minneapolis, or whether the board wishes to modify or change that policy. "As for church representation in the board, my position Is that the ohurch is the unit of Congregationalism, and I am not afraid of the churches; but before I accept the election to the Presidency I want to know positively and definitely whether this board wishes to depart from its position on the subject of future probation, or whether it wishes to reaffirm that posi tion." The following resolution was then intro duced: Resolved, That the board reaffirms the rule9 ot administration laia down by us at Our annual meetings In New Yortf and Minne apolis, mid expects them to be applied In a spirit of liberality, as expressed by the President In his letter or acceptance to can didates for missionary uppoiuuuent. An Andover Professor Defends Liberalism. Prof. Smvth, of Andover, the leader of the Congregational Liberal movement, im mediately Tose to debate the resolution. He declared that the rules had not been inter preted liberally, and that it is impossible lor a liberal influence in the Prudential Committee to exist. "The thing for which we stand," said he, "is that these liberal men who are fitted to be pastors of the churches shall not be ex cluded from missionary service. The rules of the board are not liberally interpreted. You are shutting out consecrated men by your interpretation of the rules. You may raise money, but what goodis it to you If you can't get men to go abroad if you shut out good young men by Illiberal interpreta tion of the rules? If yoa do not get men you will fail. You have been steadily low ering the standard of service in this board for years." Joseph Cook followed, virtually accusing Prof. Smyth and the Liberals ot teaching that men'who died in their sins might be saved. This was resented bv Dr. Quint, who used exceedingly strong language to the Boston divine. - Doctrinal Questions Don't Figure. Dr. Webb, a member of the Prudential Committee, denied that the committee was unduly governed by doctrinal consider ations, and declared that in future he would freely tell the grounds upon which the candidates were rejected. Tbe'resolution was unanimously adopted, and to the intense relief of all, the Presi dent said: "Then, gentlemen, I accept the election." " Arthur Little refused to accept the election to the Prudential Committee, and Dr. F. E. Clark was elected to fill the vacancy. After a little routine business and a fare well address bv Rev. E. P. Goodwin, the board sang a hymn, and the S3d annual meeting of the American board was over. DOCTORING A HYMNAL.'

At the third session of the triennial convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church this morning message 4, Horn the House of Bishops, was being read when John Williams, of Omaha, objected to the reading as it prejudiced the House against the articles refused to be accepted by the bishops. The President, however, overruled the objection. The Bishops' re port to the House of Deputies contained the number of the resolutions they had adopted or rejected. Numbers from 21 to 52 were adoptcu; 30, 31, 31 and 46 rejected. Dr. Nelson, of New York, made a long address on the alteration of the hymual, and asked the President to make the hymnal revision the order of the day Fri day, October 14. Bev. P. J. Eoberts, of St Louis, moved a resolution that the present hymnal be retained intact He was tired of listening to the debates for and against the hymns that were to be chosen. , Bev. Mr. McViekar, of Pennsylvania, moved that a copy of the hymns rejected and the new ones proposed be printed and distributed among the deputies for consideration. Car ried. The Bishops then sit in joint session on the missionary question. Several mis sionary addresses were read. The first was from Bishop Nichols, describing a mission on the Pacific coast He' said when he first went there he expected to find nothing but persons steeped in vice and sin, but was glad to find that the voung men. of the "West had not forgotten tneir uoo. Missionary addresses were resumed by Bishop Garrett, requesting young men to leave their homes and come with him to preach the word of God in one of the numerous towns of Texas. Bishop Talbot, of Idaho and Wyoming, continued, and at the conclusion of his address the House ad journed. Mahony City Facing a Water Famine. Mahout Crrr, Pa., Oct. 7.

THE FIBSI 8XBIEINO CLOCK. It Is Said to Have Been Brought Into Eu rope by the Persians. ' St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Iu a dissertation on the ''Introduction ot. Learning in England," it is stated that, in the time of Alfred the Great, the Persians imported into Europe a machine which presented the first rudiments ot a striking clock. It was brought as a present to Charle magne from Abdallafa, the King of Persia, by two Monks of Jerusalem, in the year 80X "Among other presents," says Esinhart, ''was a horologe of brass, wonderfully constructed by some mechanical art ifice, in which the twelve hours ad clepsydram vertebatur, with as many little brazen balls, which, at the close of each hour, dropped down on a sort of bell underneath and sounded the end of anj hour. There were also twelve figures of horsemen, who, when the 12 hours were completed, issued out at 12 windows, which till then stood open, and returning again, shut the windows after them." It is to be remembered that Eginhart was an eye-witness of what he here de scribes, and that he was an Abbot, a skill ful architect, and very (learned in the sci ences. BTEUCK HIM IN THE HECK.

Though the patient was bleeding profusely, the ball was removed. The physicians had much trouble, in stopping the flow of blood, as the ball had entered below the ear just grazing the Jugular vein, and piercing some of the smaller blood vessels. When the accident happened Mr. Staple was standing on the street talking to a friend. Frank Bubincon with a companion were shooting at a mark with a flobert rifle a short distance away.

A MARTYR TO DUTY;; Deadly Affray Hptween Moonshiners and Kevenue Officers. OHB OP THE DEPUTIES IS - SHOT ind the Leader or the Illicit Distillers Also Falls Dead. THE ESCAPE OP THREE OF TEE OUTLAWS rtrECIAL TELIQBAM TO TJTE DISPATCH.! Nashville, Oct 7. A deadly affray be tween six United Sates Bevenue officers and four moonshiners occurred this morn ing near Flintville, Lincoln county, a dis trict which is dreaded more by Government officers than perhaps any other portion of Middle Tennessee. E. a Bobioson, Deputy United States Marshal for the Third division; two general deputy collectors, S. C Cardwell and J.'L. Spurrier; Deputy Collectors J. E. Pulver and S. D. Mather and Mr. Harris, son of the United States Commissioner at Flint ville, started out to seize 20 barrels of illicit brandy which had already been located at a point about ten miles from Flintville. "When the party had proceeded about four miles from Flintville they were fired on from the bushes in the rear. Mather fell dead at the first shot, having received 12 buckshot in his head. One lodged behind the ear. Before the sur prised party could defend themselves Card well and Spurrier fell, mortally wounded. Cardwell received ten buckshot in the back and Spurrier received a rifle bullet in the back between the shoulder blades. Bobinson turned and shot twice at two of the four fleeing moonshiners, and one of them named Patrick, the leader, fell dead. The other three made good their escape into the bushes. Cardwell died at 3 o'clock in a wagon at the depot, as he was being taken home. Mather, Cardwell and Spurrier were ivell known and highly respected all oyer tne btate, and have been in the revenue service lor years. A telegram from Danville, Ky., says: Creed 8. Cardwell, who was killed in a fight with moonshiners to-dav' at Flintville, Tenn., was known throughout Central Ken tucky as a prompt and courageous officer and a man who feared no man. The an nouncement of his death created consider able excitement here and in Harrodsburg, where he has lived for years, and where his two brothers, Judge T. M. Cardwell and ex Mayor W. K.

Prof. Helm, of Zurich, supplies the scien tific press with an article upon falls. Ac cording to him, the man who falls from a tremendous height has the most enjoyable time imaginable till he stops. If he could fall forever it would be better than Para dise. He suffers no pain, he is not frozen with terror, as is commonly supposed, yet he is perfectly aware of what is hap pening. , t Time seems to pass very sldwlyaVho goes down, and he thinks of many subjects. There are pleasant sounds in his ears prob ably caused by the whizzing of the air as he goes by. He knows perfectly well that there will presently be a tremendous thud and a violent pause, but he regards the pros pect with absolute composure, and rather looks at it from an outside standpoint, as if it were some one else who was going to come down with that thud, and that he uas going to stand by and see the fun. When the stoppage does come he knows nothing about it. It is a beautiful death to die by rushing down from a great height. The patient seems to be a comet, or a me ter, flying athwart the blue sky, and then he sinks into oblivion, as if he had fallen into a Bea of chloroform and roses, and if the fall is long enough he never knows anything more, and nothing worries him again to all eternity.

R., that he Is a Free Mason of high decree, a Justice of the Peace, Bullng Elder and Treasurer ot the Presbyterian Church, a member of the Board of Education and has tfeen eentaa delegate to County, State and Congressional Conventions. The word of a man so highly honored at home must carry the greatest conviction and weight throughout the ooua try. Els story Is interesting. "For over 27 years since the close of the late war I suffered from dyspepsia, paid out hundreds of dollars, bnt got no relief.

DAVID VOTES, "I was told by my physician that I never could get well. "I was also paralyzed on the right side from the hip down, ana suffered severely with lumbaio and a trembling of the hands. "I took Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and feel perfectly cured of all these troubles, and feel like a well man. I could not sleep on my right side for years, now I can sleep well and eat any thin?. "It has proved to bea wonderful remedy for me, and I am a living witness to testify to the truth of my statement.
