usual proceeding for tha lord chancellor to

and extraordinary mark «f honor, and as an
adequaU recognition ol tho American mlnls-
ler’a courtesy in consenting to appear as a

The causes which led to tbe trial are u follows:
The earldom of Lauderdale, to which Is attached
an income of l>0.ooo a year, la now vacant through

Dr. Hawthorne's remarks were applauded to Ue
coho, and there wu every evidence that Uey re
ceived Ue unqualified indorsement ot Ue congre
gation. When he asked If Ua mcatfnp at Ua
tabernacle should be discontinued and coquetted
all who approved olUe manner In which Uey
bed been conducted to stand np, the crowd
nose as ovr. wap.
It was an Impressive scene, and It Indicated
that Dr. HawUorna had almply voiced Ue senti
ment ot Ue city, for Ue great congregation waa
u representative In character u It wu In nnm-
bore.
While the Incident was unexpected, the
article referred to by Dr. n*w-
Uorn* bid been very generally dfreaned
UrongbontUeclty for two day* past. At Ue
Bible reading Thursday morning aome allusion
was made to It, and Ue two thousand people
present were requested to Join In silent prayer ter
Its author. The meetlngi at tho tabernacle have
received not only Ue Indorsement, (but
Uo active support and co-operation,
of nearly every Brotertant prater tn Ue
city and have been attended twloe a day (or Ue
put two weeba by congregatlonr ranging from
two to fire Uourand people who manltated Ue
deepeet Interest In them. It waa to be expected,
therefore, that any adrorao criticism npon Uom
would meet wlU general and emphatlo protest tn
Ue commnnlty.

El Faso, Texas, Juno 9—Further partiou
lars.of the fearful waterspout which burst
near Lagoa, Maxlco, on the sixth Inst., were
received here to-night. The lose of life proves
to bo greater than at first reported. At Pueblo
Cuaranta tho nulling waters in a few minutes
rose to the height of ts feet. This great Hood
•wept everything before it, and at that place
•lone oyer 200 iiyea were lost. Great distress
prevails along tbe entire valley, and imme
dlate relief is greatly needed. Partiou
lara from other points have
yet bean received. Tho large city of Guan-
ejuto waa flooded also by the tremendous
water spout, which did fearful damage. The
water apout bunted at a point about a mile
above the city and in a few minutes water to
tha depth oi six feet covered the very center
of tho city.
The complimentary amateur perfor mance
in honor of tho governor and ex-Proaidont
Gonzales wu in progreu at tho time. Tho
theatre wu crowded when the alarm wu
lounded, about 10:30 o'clock. A panic ensued
in tbe theater. Lediei fainted, and all seemed
lrenxied with fear. Everyone rushed
lor the door, trampling tbo
weak underfoot. The scene wu
Indescribable. Many persona wore fatally in
jured. The force of the flood down the itreeta
broke open many doors. The office of the
Singer machine company had six foot of water
in it, and many other buildinge
suffered likewise. The damage amounted
to, over $100,000. The principal snllarari
are O'Bregon i Co., Lorens* Margues, and the
Singer m whine company. It is not yet known
how many lives wore lost.

A OAMBLBR'SCHAPEL,
Phil Daisy Knots a Magnificent House ol
Worship.
New Yoax, June IS—.[Special.]—Long
Branch hu something to talk about In advance
of the real opening ol the summer season.
Phil Daley, the leading professional gambler
of tho place, whole Pennsylvania club la the
moat gorgeous gaming hell in America, hu
to-day moved into the villa which he hu added
to hia bolonginga. His neighbors have for
years bcon accustomed to tbo opennoss and
splendors of hia business, and somo of them
bad watched tho erection of the residence, but
the embodiment of a chapel in tne promises is
a revelation which excites them considerably.
The house is much bigger than the average of
tho seuido dwellings, find Its architecture Is
ornato In the extreme. Eccentric gablea, irrel
evant pieces of roof and other devices break
the line* in all parts, and at ono corner rises a
round turret somewhat like the spire of a
church. A solid wall of brick, with an orna
mental iron fanes and gate, surround the plot.
The exterior surface of the house is polished
end stained herd wood, in aeemblanoeoltiloe.
At etch aide of the front door U a panel of
carved wood, leading tho observer to aupposo
at the first glimpse that thereon he would find
the name ol aome publle institution. But on*
(a lettered "Tooteey" and the othor “Maggie"
—tho names of Daley's two children. The in
terior is decorated In a inoet orally and showy
atylo. Handsome natural woodi, exquisite
fresco, art tiles and elaborated wall paper
meke tbe raoma quite resplendent. The coat
of the house, uldo from tno beautiful furniture
put into iL Is aaid to have bcon n hundred
thousand dollars.
Tho story goes that Daley hopes to atone for
bis professions! sins as a gsmblor by this at
tention to religion, butthoeowho know him
well declare that ho ha* built tho chapel in
deference to tho wishes of hia wilo, who is *
notably pious woman. Thoro is likely to bo
aome difficulty in tho project so lar aa tno aor-
viora are concerned. Daley wishee to angago
the Iter. Father McFoy, pastor of tha Star of
the Sea church, directly across the street, to
celebrate a mass in the Daley ehnpol every
morning throughout the season. Tha priest is
willing to accept the oifer which contemplates
a separate salary of five hundred dollar! per
year: but hla application to hla bishop for per-
miraicn has not yet bean acted on.and the im
pression is that it will meet with a refusal, on
account of Daisy’s connection with gambling.
Ifao, tho request will bo resowed by Mrs.
Daley. In any cue, tha chapel will be used.
