H The Cunard line steam or Campania brought
H to our shores from Groat Britain yesterday Lord
Kelvin, tho Nestor of British men of science
I I Lord Kolvln Is probably much better known a
II I Prof. William Thompson or Sir William Thomp
jf ton, professor of natural philosophy in tho Unl
H Torslty of Glasgow, than by his present title,
H which ho has hold only slnoo 1802. DuritiRthe
fifty-one years In which ho has sat in the nat-
urol philosophy chair at Glasgow he has
B achieved things that bare brought him his title,
I and made him an acknowledged leadet in
I several lines of scientific research. Ho has bren
President of tho Mathematical and Physical
Section of the British Association Ave tlmos, and
In 1RD0 ho surceodod Sir George Oabriol Stokes,
BarU, as President of the Itoyal Society.
It is to attend a meeting of this association
at Toronto, Ontario, that Lord Kelvin now
comes to America. Tho Hrltlsh Association is
sixty-six years old, but it has seldom held a
meeting outside of England. The first excep
tion was at Dublin In 1835. It crossod tho chan
nel five times after that, and two of these meet
ings were made famous by certain of the papers
read at them. Tho first of these meetings was
the one hold at Cork in 1843, whon Joule
read his remarkable papor upon tho mechanical
equivalent ot hoat, andthosocond was a meet
ing held at Ilolfast in 1874. whon Prof. TyndalU
then President of the association, oxpounded hit
materlallstlophllosophy In his presidential ad
dress. In 1881 the association went abroad for
the last time and camo to .Montreal. Lord Ray
lelgh was President, and this meeting wu also
remarkable one.
When the Campania retched the end of her
wharf yesterday afternoon, and was being
warped into her berth. Lord Kolvln was tho
most conspicuous of her passengers. With Lady
Kolvtn besldo him, ho stood on tho Captain's
bridge, a storv abovo tho heads of all the other
passengers, and watched with apparent interest
the demonstrative greetings which passed be
tween the other passengers and their friends or
relatives In the crowd upon theondof the wharf.
Ho was easily recognizable- by those who
had seen his published portraits, although
the face was older looking and his
white beard not so long or thick as those pic
tures show. lie wore a suit o( tweed of mixed
colors, which had the general effect of being
light brown, and a soft hat of gray color, be
fore the rest of the passengers had left tho ship
Lord Kolvln went below, but ho was found
afterward on his way to the main deck, whero
he sat for a considerable time and watched the
disembarking of tho baggage and tho lively
scenes on tho wharf. Ho carried a stout walk
ing stick, and It was noticeable, when ho walked
that ho was a bit lame. Ho greeted the reporters
who sought him out cordially.
"This, he said, " Is my second visit to Amer
ica. I have not missed a meeting of tho Itoyal
Socloty in moro than forty) ears, and I have
come now to attend the meeting In Toronto. I
was here before w hen the meeting was at Mon
treal in 18tU. Wo Bhall lravo Now York In the
morning and go to Nlagarn Palls. There I shall
Inspect the great electric power plant- From
there wo go to Toronto. After the meeting
closes we may go to Vancouver, simply to too
tho country. In that event our stay will cover
considerable time. In any event tho date of my
return Is uncertain."
Lord Kolvln said that he had come across the
ocean largely to observe, hut that he should
J ead A paper ut the meeting of tho association,
lo expressed much interest In bo mo of the latest
developments In electrical science in this coun
try, such an Nicola Tcsla's scheme for telegraph
ing without wires, nnd the use of tho third rail
for transmitting electric power tor traction pur-
S 06( s directly and without feeder wires, as is
one between Berlin and Hartford, Conn.
"1 have not ret el vod Information regarding
Mr. Tenia's methods," said Lord Kelvin, "which
Is deHnlto enough to enable me to speak about
them, but I have no doubt we shall hear more
of this at the meeting."
Lord Kelvin spoke with enthusiasm of the
I new works which have just gono into operation
at Shoredltch, England, for burning city gar
bage, and using tho hnc tlniB produced for the
production of bleam, heat, gas, end electricity
for town Ubo.
"Ills only six weeks since tho works were
opened," said Lord Kelvin, "hut tboy have
proved themselves to be a groat suc
cess. Ten tons of 'dust' are equal, we
calculate, to one ton of coal for steam
making. Enough energy Is now obtained
toopcrato the municipal alectrlo lighting plant,
and so long as 'dust ' Is ohtnlnnblo not an ounro
of coal noed be used. Whatever dust or refine
Is collected has combustlblo qualities, und is
therefore available."
Shoredltch. he sulci, had hitherto paid 2 shil
lings 3 pence a ton to havo the garbage carted
away and emptied In the sen. Now, he said, he
believed the city was In a fair way to get a rev
enue from the garbago Instead of the great sum
whk'h it had cost to dispose of it. The slag,
which is the final residue from the Shoredltch
furnaces, be said was lo be used for road muklng.
Lord Kelvin is 73 years old, having been born
in Belfast, Ireland, in June. 1824. Ills father,
James Thompson, LLD., was at that tlmo lec
turer on mathematics at the Itoyal Academi
cal Instltuto at Belfast, but ho rvmoted
with his family to Glasgow on receiv
ing an appointment to tho professorship
of mathematics In the university there.
William Thompson entered the university
at Glasgow, and after graduating removed to
Petorhouse, Cambridge, where he graduated in
1845 as second wrangler. He wus elected a fel
low of Cambridge, and in lfUt! he was appointed
to the chair of natural philosophy in Glasgow,
which he has held ever since. Ho became, about
the same time editor of tho Cambridge and Dub
lin Mathematical Journal and held this place
seven years. Ho beenmo an authority upon
electrical matters In the early j ears of his pro
fessorship, and although ho pursued many other
lines of study and made, many valuable mechan
ical Inventions in other linos, it is upon his
electrical work that the greater part of bis fame
rests.
He and Mr. Varleywcretheelcctricianson the
Great Eastern in chargo of tho work of laying
the Atlantlo cable of 1805 and tho successful
one of I860, and the tests of the cable which
were carried on during the work noroinurie
with Thompson's mirror galvanometer. This
Instrument was so delicate that tho mere sway
ing of the vessel, carrying tho suspended cable
across the earth currents, inducing a. current in
the cable, wblcb was recorded by the mirror at
Vollhoramerum. When tho cable of 18 HO was
successfully laid Prof. Thompeou was knighted
by tho Queen for his shure in tho work, and
became Sir William Thompson. To Mm also
was presented tho freedom of tho city of Glas
gow. The principle or his mirror galvanometer
wns used for the Instruments which transmitted
messages over the earlier cables, and lie after
word Invented the siphon recorder, which undo
it possible to got recorded messages over deep
sea cables without using destructive currents of
electricity. Hit elect ileal inventions In later
years have been of groat variety and include In
struments for measuring lheiuuntltv.lriti.iiliv
and power of electric currents.
Two of his most valuablo Inventions aro car
ried by almost every great steamship afloat.
Ono of these Is a mariner's compass hm uiado as
I to render It free from the variations which would
otherwise result from Its being on an iron nr
steel vessel, and tho other is n, sounding lend
which can be cast to depths as great as 100
fathoms without checking the speed of the ship
and which preserves a perfect and nccurate
record of the depth. Lord Kelvin's wrl'lngsare

William McKcon, 10 years old, who Hred with
his parent at 511 East Thirteenth street, ran
Into an tco wagon yestorday at Gramcrcy Park
and East Twenty-first tlrcot while riding his
wheel, and was Instantly killed. MoKeon, who
was an altar boy in the Church of tholmmacu
late Conception in East Fourteenth etreot after
performing his usual duties at the church,
started out yesterday morning about 10 o'clock
with four of his companions for a rido on tho
wheel. The boys podallod along tho south side
of Gramcrcy Park until they reachod Twenty
flrtt street. McKcon was ahoad ot his four com
panions and wus spurting at a high rate, of sored.
Whon he reached Twenty-first street McKcon
turned in closo lo tho wost sidewalk. He had
Just roundod the corner when an Ice wagon,
driven nnd owned by John Gulnan of 008 East
Thirty-ninth street, came slowly through
Twenty-first etreot. McKeon, who was riding
very fast, saw his danger and mado n frantlo
eifort to avoid the wagon. Tho spcod of tho
whocl, lion over, was too grout, and innnother
moment tho blcyclo had crash od Into tho wagon
with terrlllo force.
Tho boy was thrown from tho whoel and
pitched ngalnst the side of tho ioe wagon. He
fell hetweon tho front ami rear whcols, and bo
foro the driver could stop tho wagon ono ottho
rear wheels had passed over his body.
Tho wheel crushed In tho boy's left ribs, nnd
drove ono of them through his heart, killing him
Instantly. Policeman Ilraun, who was on the
scono it few mnmonts after the accident, arrested
Gulnan, the driver, and sent in n call for an
ambulance. Dr. Huntington ot llellovuo Hos
pital responded. Tho boy was beyond medical
aid when ho arrived.
The body was taken to the East Twcnty-teo-ond
street station, followed by a largo crowd,
Gulnnn, the driver, wns arraigned beforo Magis
trate Wentworth In tho Vorkvillo Pollco Court
nnd remanded in tho custody of the Coronor,
who paroled him pending the Inquest. Gulnan
said that It McKeon hadn't neon riding so fast,
or If he had turned tho corner furthor from the
curbstono, tho accident would not havo taken
place.
FORSOOK HIS HIKE AND It AN FOR IT.
Story or a Stts Who Knew How to l.et Away
Arier Running Into n Lawsuit.
There's a blcyclo awaiting an owner in the
Mulberry street pollco station. Anybody con
have it for tho asking, and ho won't havo to
prove property, cither. But ho had better tako
a bondsman along with htm, for ho will be ar
rested as soon aa ho asks for tho wheel. That
will bo tho least of his troubles, for a corps ot
Italians are watching tho station, eager to suo
the owner ot tho blcyclo for damages. Sergeant
Walsh oxplalned tho mntter yestorday as fol
lows: "You eoe, as tho prophet says, 'Thus con
science does make cowards of us all.' But it's
more than conscience that's keepin' tho duck
that owns this bicjelo away. It's good Ameri
can horso sense. If ho did ride ono of thlra dlvll's
contrivances. In tho wnrruds of the poet, 'all
wheels look alike to me,' but I'm tould that this
Is wan ot thlm bargain-counter affairs that goes
with chromoa. Anyway, this guy comes along
down the street here about noon very gay,
a-pumpin' away as if a bike, cop was after him.
The lit lie dagoes Oltallans. I mean was t hickcr
than mosquiloes. nnd ho runs buck into a kid
called Michael Fcrrado, who lives at 233. I
wonder why they call a little dago Oltal
Ian, I mean Michael 1 DM I over hear
of Michael Angelot I did not. and I
have met n good plenty o' them.
Well, anyway, nil tho women and kids In the
block and tho men that was around mado for
that bicycle guy. Ho saw 'cm corutn', picked
himself up, took a look at the kid that was lying
In tho street with the blood running out of his
head, and sprinted down the streot liko a man
that bos very Important business somewhere
clso. Ho hadn't time to get on his blko again.
1 he kid wasn't hurt much, bul they sent him to
tbo hospital, and they has a nice long bill for
damages against tho gent that rode the bike.
Dagoes Oilalians, I mean Is great on damages,
and it's the lawyers that this duck's afraid of
more than tho police, I guess. And he's right,
too."

niciCENSiCK, N. J.. Aug. 13. In the course
of thice years a warrant for the arrest of Irwin
Degroat, carried about in this vicinity in the
pockets of various constables, has become pretty
well shop-worn. Degroat Is accused of stealing
cows in Bergen and Rockland counties. Ho is
one of tho many Jackson Whitos who livo se
cure from the law, for tho most part. In the
fastnesses of the Hamapo Mountains, and from
time to time officers ha e endcavorod to catch
him, but unavallingly.
Constable Jim Hicks of Mahwah is tho man
who got him and brought htm In to this city to
day shackled to himself. Degroat is a small,
active man, with a pleasant face and very whlto
tcetb. with which ho is said to perform remark
able feats of strength. Constable Hkks learned
yesterday that Degroat had come out of the
mountains and was at ii friend's house. Going
to the bouse, ho found Degroat. at dinner and
covered blm with a revolver. Degroat surren
dered. "You can go on and finish your dinner if you
want to," said Hicks. "I'm In no hurry."
"Hell! I've got no appetite left," replied De-
?:rot, "after letting mself be caught liko a
ool."
Thero Is a pal of Degroat'H also accused of
cow stealing, who is still In hiding in the moun
tains. The last encounter Degroat had with
tho law was whon Constable Ilnoades ot Ham
sey came across blm near tho Bear swamp.
The Jackson White dropped behind a rock nnd
gave Ithoades a front view of the muzzlo of a
double barrelled shotgun. The constablo turned
away and quietly left tho neighborhood by an
other route. Many other nttcmnts have been
mado to catch Degroat, but bo has always got
to tho mountains and eluded bis pursuers In tho
thick woods.

corner of Passaic and Stato streets, and en
gaged tho proprietor in a lengthy conversation
on prosperity und tho times.
During tho courso of tho talk two other
strangers walked in. After a couplo of drinks
they withdrew ton tablo and began a game of

Halifax, Aug. 18. All day the Indiana'
sailors have been engaged In scraping and
cleaning the sides of the big battleship, prepara
tory to painting. This morning tho dry dock
was thrown open to tho public gonorally, and
visitors thronged tho place. Several military
and naval dignitaries visited the Indiana, In
cluding Col. Anstruther Duncan, It. A.; Surgeon-Col.
Oliver, and Capt Powell and offi
cers of tho Crosoont. Gov. Daly also was among
the visitors this forenoon.
To-night the Junior officers of the Indiana are
entertaining the officers of the CroscenL On ap
plication of Capt. Taylor to tho Mayor, Antolne
Johnson, tho sailor who fell from tho battleship
into tho dock, was admitted to-day to the
Provincial Hospital. Ho is doing woll.
Vlce-Aamlral Ersklno la one ot tho best-known
officers In the British Navy, and has seon
Bervloe for fifty years in all parts of th world.
Ho was one of those favored by Queen Victoria
nt the Jubilee wltb a knighthood, and now that
ho Is about retiring from activo service ho Is
Sir James Ersklno, K. C. B. Ills term will ex
pire this month. Aa stated In Tub Son yes
terday ha looked over the Indiana while sho was
being made fast In tho Halifax dry dock. To
Tub Bun- correspondent to-day he said;
"I don't mind giving you my opinion ot the
Indiana, yet you must bear in mind that I can
speak only from a cursory examination ot the
ship. I had not tho time nor was there oppor
tunity for a thorough Investigation. But there
Is no doubt about It that the Indiana Is a most
formldablo and n very hoavtly armored ship of
war, and that she is an elllclont battleship In
every way."
" Can you then give the Indiana your unquali
fied pralio I" the reporter nskod.
"I was Just going to say that as a sailor I
would bo loath to express an opinion ot her
value unless I had soen the ship at sea. Tho
value ot a battleship ot tho Indiana's site and
armament depends on whothor sho is ablo, effec
tively and readily under any conditions, to use
her great guns."
The Admiral significantly shrugged his shoul
ders as ho repoated that ho could not give an
opinion of the battleship's real worth until ho
became hotter acquainted with her seagoing
qualities nnd of the control that It is possible to
obtain over her.
While discussing the sea-going qualitlos of
the Indiana, and the question of handling her
advantageously. Admiral Ersklno assontod to
the correspondent's statement that the battle
ship Ronown, which is to repluce tbe cruiser
Crescent on this station as the flagship ot the
North American Bquadron, has 3,000 tons great
er register than the Indiana, but has guns ot
only about halt the weight of those on the
American battleship. Admiral Erskino appeared
to think that there waa very little doubt on
which side the advantage would Ho between a
ship of great tonnage, but comparatively light
guns, easy of handling at sea, and the Indiana
with heavy guns and with, to him at least, un
known seagoing auallties.
" Thero Is one thing I can say, though, without
tho slightest hesitation," added Admiral Era
klne, "and It Is that the Indiana's ship's com
pany consists ot a very fine set of young fellows.
The marines, particularly, are a splendid body
of men, and tbe whole ship's company, as I said
before, are generally a young, smart-looking
crew, of whom any Captain might well be
proud."
The reporter asked the Admiral If he did not
think it almost as Important for a nation to have
good dry docking facilities for its navy as to pos
sess) effective ships of war.
"That goes without saying," Admiral Erskine
replied, " but I don't wish to discuss that sub
ject, for obvious reasons. I would bo able to say
a great deal in this line, yet it would be out of
place In me to speak at this time, and therefore
I have nothing to say."
It appeared qulto evident from Admiral
Ersklno's manner and significant lone that he
had decided opinions, though he would not ex
press them, on the spectacle presented by a
great nation, with powerful ships ot war, but
without tho means ot docking them, and under
the necessity of going to a foreign port, and
there obtaining tho privilege. One of the prin
cipal conditions imposed by tho British Govern
ment on tho Halifax dry dock management is
that imperial war vessels shall always have the
precedence in claims for admission to the dock.
This Is not a great return for an annual subsidy
of $10,000, but it might become a serious
matter under certain circumstances.
Admiral Sir John Fisher, who will sneceed Sir
James Ersklno on this station, will hoist his
flag on the Renown on Aug. 23, and will sail for
Halifax at the end of this month.

betides stocks and bonds. He didn't happen,
however, to have anr ready cash but got tbe

come to time with the money, and as
he could not be found, Frank II. Piatt,
manager of tho company, got out a warrant for
his arrest Mr. Piatt found one ot the missing
bicycles on sale in a store for Q35. although the
wholesale price was $17. This fully convinced
him that ho had beon swindled. Molermanaged

XT ATTACK ON ItZK FRVSTRATED
OX JULT 07 AT BAN BEDAtTIAN.
A Foreigner Approached Him Suddenly la the
Park at About T o'clock and Made a It to
Draw a Weapon, but Waa Sotted and Meld
by th Crowd-Was Re the Anarchist Colli I
Havana, Aug. IL Among tho many Interest
ing details of tho assassination of Canovas
cabled to nvana by the Madrid correspondent
of .La Xucna tlnco last Sunday, when only the
bare news ot the crime was allowed to bo pub
lished, It tho startling fact that tho assassin
Golll, or Anglolltno, attacked Canovas on tho
evening ot last July 27 at San Sebastian, and
was neither arrested nor watched nf terward by
the police, because the Prime Minister gave
orders not to molest tho Anarchist
SoDor Canovas was passing through one of the
alleys of tho park which Is In front of the Casino
of San Sebastian nt about 7 o'clock In the evtn
ing, when a well-dressed man, npparontly n
foreigner, approached him In such a suspicious
manner that tho Prime Minister stopped and
raited his cano In self-defence The man seized
Canovas by tho loft arm and was evidently go
ing, to draw a weapon whon the Prime Minister
loudly commanded him to stop. Persons ran
from all sides to tho Premier's aid, and the
stranger, apologizing and bowing, told Canovas
that he was In great distress, and wanted only
to ask for n little money. The nowcomers and
agendarmoof the park held htm, but Canovas
ordered them to set him free. The order wo
obeyed and tho man retired, still bowing to Can
ovas with great apparent humility.
An hour afterward the rumor spread through
out San Sobattian that tho Primo Mlnlttor had
been attacked, aud many of Cauovas's friends
callod on him to oxpross sympathy, Tho nows
was telegraphed to all the newspapers In Spatn,
and was sent by tho foreign nows agencies to
France. Sonar Canovas Immediately made an
official denial, and tho following paragraph was
published by La Kpoca on July 20 and trans
mitted on tho same day by cable to 1m Lxteha:
"The rumor has spread that night beforo Inst
a Frenchman attacked Scflor Canovas del Cas
tillo In San Sebastian. Tho Prlmo Minister de
nies the truth of the rumor, and Bays that the
Frenchman only aBked him for aid."
In speaking of tho occurrence with his friends,
Canovas said that he was absolutely turo that
tho man who stopped him was only a beggar.
no said, alto, that tbe man was a Frenchman,
as was proved by his accent, and that ho proba
bly was a bankrupt gambler. Between Biarritz
and San Sebastian there are many gamblers this
tlmo of year, and at tbe San Sebastian Casino
tho French game ot trente et quarante is played
from morning till night
Not tho least doubt is expressed now by tbe
Spanish police that Golll or Angiolllno 1b the
man who stopped Canovas on July 27 and was
mistaken by the Prime Minister for a French
man. Tho wife of Canovas believed, when Golll
fired at him, that the assassin was a Cuban rev
olutionist That also was the first news spread
at Santa Agueda. It has been discovered that
Golll was a personal friend of Cecsaro Santo, or
Caserlo, who assassinated President Carnot
and that both bolonged to a secret society in
Italy, whose aim Is to kill the heads of European
Governments.
The many Spanish Carllsts In Cuba, among
whom is an official agent of the Pretender, are
very hopeful that the killing of Canovas will
lead to the triumph of Don Carlos. Thoy say
that an absoluto monarchy is the only remedy
for tbe evils ot anarchy, and that tho Cuban
problem may be settled by tho establishment of
home rule in tho Island, with a Viceroy aa the rep
resentative of the King. The first Viceroy may
be elected by the Cubans in arms, they say, and
be even Gen. Gomez himself.
Don Carlos's agents here have full powers
from tho Pretender to work for the success of
this plan. During the war of 18G8 Don Carlos
offered the office of Viceroy of Cuba to the
wealthy Cuban. Don Miguel Aldama, conspicu
ous among the revolutionists at that time.
There Is no more hope now that the plan will be
accepted than there was then. As Aldama re
fused the place that Don Carlos offered him, so
would Gen. Gomez.
CANOTAS'S FUNERAL.
Creat Crowd, but Wo Disorder Tho Body
Viewed by 30,000 Peraon.
Special Cable Deipatch to Tire SiTf.
MADniD, Aug. 13. From noon until 5 o'clock
yesterday, 20,000 porsuns, representing all
classes, viewed the body of the loto Premlor
Canovas, which was lying In state in tbo Hall of
Armour In tbe family mansion.
The funeral, which tookploce this afternoon,
was an imposing affair. The city wns thronged
with spoctators. manyot whom came from a
great distance to pay the last mark of respect
to the dead statesman, but there was no dis
order. The procession left tho Canovas residence at
4:30 o'clock for the Cemetery of S.in Isldro,
which is three miles from the city. Tho route
was lined with troops, who formed behind the
procosslon as It passed and marched to the cem
etery. The crowds along tho routo showed
becoming reverence as tbo hearse passed.
The coffin was almost covered with wreaths.
Among the pall bearers wero Marshal Martinez
Campos and Bcfior Sagasta, the leader of the
Liberal party, who has been mentioned as th
possible successor ot Canovas. Immediately be
hind the hearse wero tho members of the Cab
inet, tho President of tho Chamber of Deputies,
the President of the Senate, a number of Arch
bishops and Bishops, and the representatives of
the Queen. Behind them came a representative
assemblagoaf political, military, naval, and liter
ary persons; members of the clergy representing
every parish of the city, representatives ot the
State departments and other official bodies,
making a total official procession of about
3,000. Iu addition to theso thero were many
deputations from the provinces, and other con
tingents, who swollod the number In the pro
cession to enormous proportions. The entire
route from tho house to tho cemetery wns
strewn with laurel. The windows und balconies
of tho houses along the route were thronged
with onlookers.
All public nnd many prlvato buildings were
drapod with black. There was a salvo of artil
lery when the procession started, and guns
were fired nt intervals throughout the cere
mony. When the coffin was placed In tho vault
all the church bells in the city were tolled.
As the body waa removed from the mortuary
chapel Sefiora Canovas, whoso love for her hus
band was known to overy one. said to those
near her:
"1 wish everybody to know that I forgive the
assassin of my husband. That Is the greatest
sacrifice I can tnuke, and I make it becuusc I
knew bis groat heart."
Prince Bismarck has sent a message of con
dolence to SeAura Canovas In which he declares
that be nover bowed down to anybody, but he
inclined his head whenevor ho heard the name
of Canovas del Castillo.
The trial of the assassin ot Canovas, Anglo
llllo, or " Golll," probably will bo held to-morrow.
G rest dissatisfaction Is felt in military clrolea
oh account of tho royal decree requiring the
wearing of three days' mourning for the late
Premier. The military officers contend that they
were not commanded to wear mourning for
Gon. Prim and aro unable to seo why tbey should
do to In this case, tlnoe Canovas was neltbsr a
king nor a royal prince.
The court-martial which will try Oolll will
meet at Vegara and probably will sit all noxt
week. It will be composed of six Captains in the
army and will be presldod over by a Colonel.
In compliance with tho law an advocate for
the prisoner has been appointed. Ho la Lieut
Oorria, who will submit aa a defence that Golll
is insane. It Is very certain that this plea will
not prevail, nnd that the prltoner will be sen
tenced to death. Ho probably will bo garroted.
ThoAugustin and Dominican friars aro try
Ing, with 111 success, to convert Golll. In reply
to their appeals be Invites tbem to prove the ex
istence of God.
