BURNED ALIVE.

Horrible Fate of a Gang of Workmen in Carnegie's Homestead Mill.

Two men were killed and seven others injured at the Homestead steel-works of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., at Homestead, Pa., Friday afternoon, by the boiling over of a ladle containing ten tons of molten steel. Three of the injured will die. About 3 o'clock a gang of nine men were engaged in the open hearth department, casting ingots. They had just filled two molds, when the metal in the ladle boiled over, scattering the molten stoel in all directions. The unfortunate men were unable to get out of the pit in time to escape the awful bath, and all engaged at the furnace were horribly burned.

Andrew Kebbler was thrown into the mold, in which there were about three inches of hot steel and he was literally roasted alive. Kebbler was forty-two years of ago and married.

Nicholas Bowers, the pitman, aged twenty-four, was standing near Kebbler, and was so badly burned that the flesh dropped from his bones. He died in a few h®urs.

The clothing of William Fagan, ^Joseph 'Ihirkes and Isaac Lane was burned from 'their bodies. There sufferings are terrible, land no hopes are entertained of their re•'covery. The others—Stephen Clinst,

Michael Dzerko, John Dudas, and S. S. 'Sohultz—were frightfully burned, but i-will recover. All are married except [Lane.

The causd of the accident is not known. It is supposed foreign gases generating in the ladle caused the metal to boil over, but this is only a surmise. The mill was not damaged.

TAIMAGE TO NEBRASKA.

THE MASSES ENCHANTED BY HIS SPIRITUAL ENDEAVOR.

He Grasps His Sacred Topic and Wields it With Fervor.

His Able Discourse "Thou Art Weighed in the Balances, and Art FCUD1

Wanting," Received in Awed

Silence.

The Rev. Talmage discourses to an immense audience at Omaha. His text was: "Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting."—Daniel v, 27. The preacher said:

Babylon was the paradise of architecture, and driven out from thenco the grandest buildings of modern times are only the evidence of her fall. The site having been selected for the city, two million men were employed in the rear of her walls and the building of her worus. It was a cit^r sixty miles in circumference. There was a trench all around the city, from which the material for the building of the city had been digged.

There were twenty-five gates on each side the city between every two gates a tower of defense springing into the skies from each gate ou the one side, a street running straight through to the corresponding street on the other side, so that there were fifty streets fifteen miles long. 1 hrough the city ran a branch of the Kiver Euphrates. This river sometimes overflowed its banks, and to keep it from the ruin of the city a lake was constructed into which the surplus water of the river would run during the time of frenhets, and the water was keut in this artificial lake until time of drought, and then this water would stream down over the city. At either end of the bridge spanning this Euphrates there was a palace—the one palace a mile and a half around, the other palace seven and a half nijlcs around.

The wife of Nebuchadnezzar had been born and brought up in the country, and in a mountainous region, and she could not bear this flat district of Babylon and so, to please his wi'e, Nebuchadnezzar built in the midst of the city a mountain four hundred liet high. This mountain was built out into terraces supported on arches. On the top of these arches a layer of flat stones, on thts top of that a layer of reeds and bitumen, on the top of that two layers of bricks closely cemented, on the top of that a heavy sheet of lead, and on the top of that the soil placed—the soil so deep that a Lebanon cedar had room to anchor its rootThere were pumps worked by mijjhtv machinery fetching up the water from the Euphrates to this hanging garden as it was called, so that there were fountains spouting into the sky.

Standing below and looking up it must have seemed sis if the c.ouds were in blossom, or as though the sky leaned on the shoulder of a cedar" All this Nebuchadnezzer did to please his wife. W ell, she ought to have been pleased. I suppose she, was pleased. If that would not please her nothing would. There was in that ciiy also the temple of Bel us, with towers—one tower the eighth of a mile high, in which there was an observatory where 'astronomers talked to the stars. There was in that temple an imatre, just one image, which would cost what would be our fifty-two million dollars.

O what a city! The earth never saw anvthing like it, never will see anything like it. And yet I have to tell you that it is going to be destroyed. The king and his princes are at a feast. They are all intoxicated. Pour out the rich wine into the chalices. Drink to the health of the king. Drink to tho glory of Babylon. Drink to a great future.

A thousand lords reel iatoxicated. The king, seated upon a chair, with vacant look, as intoxicated men will-with vacant look stared at the wall. But soon that vacant look takes on intensity, and it is an affrighted look and all the princes besriu to look and wonder what is the matter, and thev look at the same point on the wall. And then there drops a darkness into the rooui and puts out the blaze of tho golden plate, and out of tho sleeve of the 'Jarkno-s there comes a finger—a finger of fiery terror circling around and circling around as though it would write: and then it conies up and with a sharp tip of flame it inscribes on the plastering of the wall the doom of the king: '*U eighed in the balances, and found waining." The bang of heavy lists against, the I gates of the palace are followed by the I breaking in of the doors. A thousand gleaming knives strike into a thousand quivering hearts. Now Death is kinir, and he is seated on a throne of corpses. In that hall there is a balance lifted. Cod swung it. On one side of the balance are put BeP ghazzars opportunities, ou the other side of the balance are put Uelshazzar's sins. The Bins come down. His opportunities go up. Weighed in the balances—found wanting.

There has been a great deal of cheating in our country with false weights and measures and balances, and the government, to change that state of things appointed commissioners whose business it was to stamp weights and balances, and a great deal of tho wrong has been corrected. But still, after all, there is no such thing as a perfect balance on earth. The chain may brake, or some of the metal may be clipped, or in some way the equipose may be a little disturbed.

You cannot always depend upon earthly balances. A pound is not alwavs a pound, and you may pay lor one tning'and get another but in tho balance which is suspended to the throne of God, a pound is a pound, and right is right, and wrong is wrong, and a soul is a soul, and eternity is eternity. God has a perfect bushel and a perfect peck and a perfect gallon. When merchants weigh their goods in the wrong way, then tho Lord weighs the goods again. If from the imperfect measure the merchant pours out what pretends to be a pallon of oil and there is less than a gallon, God knows it, and He calls upon His recording angel to mark it: "So much wanting in iliat measure of oil." The farmer comes in from the country. He has apples to sell. He has an imperfect measure. He poura out tho apples from this imperfect measure. God recognizes it. He says to the recording angel: "Mark down so many apples too few—an imperfect measure." We may chcat ourselves and we may cheat the world, but wo cannot cheat God, and in the great day of judgement it will be found out that what we learned in boyhood at school is correct that twenty hundred weight make a ton, and one hundred and twenty solid feet make a cord of wood. No more, no less, and a religion which does not take hold of this life as well as the life to come Is no religion at all. But, my friends, that is not the style of balances I am to speak of today, that is not the kind of weights and measures. I am to speak of that kind of balances which can weigh principles, weigh churches, weigh m«n, weigh nations and weigh worlds. "What!" you say, "is it possiblo that our world is to be weighed?" Yes. hy, you would think if God put on one side the balances suspended from the throne the Alps, and the Pyrenees, and the Himalayas, and Mount Washington, and all the cities of the earth, they would crush it. No, no. The time will come when God will sit down on the white throne to see the world weighed, and on one side will be the world's opportunities, and on the other side the world's sins. Down will go the sins and away will go the opportunities, and God will say to the messengers with tho torch: "Burn that world! weighed and found wanting!"

So God will weigh churches. He takes a great church. That great church, according to the worldly estimate, must be weighed. He puts it on one side the balances, and llio minister and the choir and the building that cost its hundreds of thousands of dollars. He nuts them on one side the balances. On" the other sido of the scale he puts what that church ought to be, what its conseerat ion ought to be, what its sympathy for the poor ought to be, what its devotion to all good ought to fce. That is on one side. That side comes down, and the church, not being able te

stand the test, rises in the balances. It does not make any difference about your magnificent machinery. A church is built for one thing—to save souls. If it saves a few souls when it might save a multitude of souls, God will spew it out of his mouth. Weighed and found wanting! So God estimates nations. How many times he has put the Spanish monarchy into the scales, and found it insufficient and condemned it! The French empire was placed on one side the scales, and God weighed the French empire, and Napoleon said: "Have I not enlarged the boulevards? Did I not kindle the glories of the Champs Elysees? Have I not adorned the Tuileries? Have I not built the gilded Opera house?" Then God weighed thy nation, and he put on one side the scales the emperor, and the boulevards, and tbe Tuileries, and the Champs Elysees, and the gilded Opera house, and on the other side he puts that man's abominations, that man's libertinism, that min's selfishness, that man's godless ambition. This last came down, and all the brilliancy of the scene vanished. What is that voice coming up from Sedan? Weighed and found wanting

But I must become more individual and more personal in my address. Some people say they do not think clergymen ought to be personal in their religious address.

Still, the balances of the sanctuary are suspended and we are ready to weigh any who come. Who shall be the next Well, here is a formalist. J&e comes and he gets into the balances, and as he ts in I see that all his religion is in genuflexions and in mitward observances. As he gets into the scales I say: "What is that you have in this pocket?"' "Oh!" he says, 'that is Westminster Assembly Catechism." 1 say: "V-ry good. What have you in' the other pocket?"' "Oh!" ho says, "that is tho ileid-lberg Catechism." "Very good. What is that you have under your arm, standing in this balance of the sanctuary "Oh!" he says, "that is a church record." "Very good. What are these books on your s'de the balances?" "Oh!" he says, "those are 'Calvin's Institutes.' "Aly brother, we are not weighing books we arc weighing you. it cannot be that you are depending for your salvation upon your orthodoxy. Do you not know that the creeds and the forms of religion are merely the scaffolding for the build inu You certainly are not going to mistake the scaffolding for the temple. Do you not know that men have gone to perdition with a catechism in their pocket?" "But," says the man, "I cross myself often." "Ah! that will not save you." "But," says the man. "I am sympathetic for the poor." "That will not savo you." Says the man, "I sat at the communion table." That will not save you. "But," says tho man^ "I have had my name on the church record." "That will not save you." "But I have been a professor of religion forty years." "That will not save you. Stand there on your side the balances, and I will give you the advantage —I will let you have all the creeds, all the church records, all the Christian conventions that were ever held, all the communion tables that were ever built, on your side the balances. On the other side the balances I must put what God says I must, put there. I put this million pound weight on the other side the balances: "Having the form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. From such turn away." Weighed and found wanting!

Still the balances arc suspended. Are there any others who would like to be weighed or who will be weighed? Yos here comes a world ing. He gets into the scales. 1 can very easily see what his whole life is made up of. Stocks, dividends, percentages, "buyer ten days," "buyer thirty days." Got in, my friend, got, into these balances and be weighed— weighed for this life, and weighed for the life to come. He gets in. I find that the. two great questions in his life are, "How cheaply can I buy these goods?" and "How dearly can I sell them?" I iind ho admires heaven because it is a land of gold, and money must be "easy."

I find from talking with him that religion and the Sabbath are an interruption, a vulgar interruption, and he hopes on the way to church to drum up a new customer! 'All the week ho has been weighing fruits, weighing meats, weighing ice, weighing coals, weighing confections, weighing worldly and perishable commodities, not realizing the fact that be himself has been weighed. On your side the balances, O worldling! I will give you full advantage. I put on your side all tho banking houses, all the store houses, all the cargoes, all the insurance comoanies, all the factories, all the silver, all the gold, all tho money vaults, all the safe deposits—all on your side. But it does not add one ounce, for at tho very moment we are congratulating you on your fine house and upon your princely income, God and the angels are writing in regard to your soul: "Weighed and found wanting!"

But I must go faster and speaK of the final scrutiny. The fact is, my friends, we are moving on amid astounding realities. These pulses which now are drumming the march of life, may, after a while, call a halt. We walk on a hair hung bridgo over chasms. All around us are dangers lurking ready to spring on us from ambush. We lie down at night, not knowning whether we shall arise in the morning. We start out for our occupations, not knowing whether wo shall como back. Crowns being burnished for thy brow or bolts forged for thy prison. Angels of light ready to shout at thy deliverance, or fiends of darkness stretching out skeleton hands to pull thee down into ruin consummate. Suddenly tho judgment will be here. The angel with one foot on the sea and the other foot on the land, will swe ir by him that liveth for ever and ever that time shall be no longer: "Behold, he cometh with clouds, and every •ye shall see him," Hark to the Jarring

but ought to deal with subjects in the ab- •, siract I do not think that way. What Certainly you are not going to.put. us in the ild

would you think of a hunter who should to the Adirondaeks to shoot deer in the abstract? Ah! no. He loads th.jgun, he puts the butt of it against the breast, he runs his eye along the barrel, he takes aim. and then crash go the antlers on the rocks. And so, if we want to be hunters for the Lord, we must take sure aim and fire. Not in the abstract are we to treat things in religious discussions. If a physician comes into a 1 sick room, does he treat, disease in the abstract' No: he l'eels the pulse, takes the diagnosis, then he makes the prescription. And'if we want to heal souls for this life and the life to coir.e, we do not want to treat them in the a- slract. The fact is, you and 1 hare a malady which, if uncurecl by grace, will kill us forever. Now, I want no abstraction. Where is the balm here is the physician?

People say there is day of judgment coming. My friends, every day is a day of judgment, and you and I today are being canvassed, inspected, weighed, Here are the balances of the sanctuary. They are lifted, and we must all weighod. Who will come and be weighed first? Here is a moralist who volunteers. He is oca of the most upright men in the country. He comes. Well, my brother, get in—get in the balances now, and be weighed. But as he gets into the balances, I say: "What is that bundle you have along with you!" "Oh," he says, that is my reputation for goodness, and kindness, and charity, and generosity, and kindliness generally." "O my brother! we capnot weigh that: we are going to weigh you—you. Now. stand in the scales—you. the moralist. Paid your debts?"' "Yes,"' you say, 'paid all n/y debts." Have you acted in an upright way in t.ie community?"' "Yes. yes," "Have you been kind to the poor? Are you faithful in a thousand relations in life?" "Yes." "So far, so good. But now, before you get out of this scale, I want to ask you two or three questions. Have yonr thoughts alwavs been right."' "No," you say "no." Put down one mark. "Haveyou loved the Lord with all your heart, and soul, and mind and strength?" "No,* you say. Make another mark. "Come now. lie fr*nk, and confess that in ten thousand things you have come short—have you not.?" "Yes." Make ten thousand marks. Co no now, get m" a boo

A larg enough to make the record

of that moralist's deficits. iV'.jf brother, stand in the scales, do not fly away from them. 1 put on your sido the scales all the good deeds you ever did, all the kind words yn ever uttered but on the other side the scales I put this weight which God says I must put there- on the other side the scales and opposite to yours I put tiiis weight: "By the deeds of the law shall no flesh living be justified." Weighed and found wanting.

that were cast aside. They are on the other side tho scales, and there God stands, and in the presence of men and devils, cherubim and archangel, he announces while groaning earthquake, and crackling conflagration, and judgment trumpet, and everlasting storm repeat it: "Weighed in the balance, and found wanting."

all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, and on that day you are certainly going to be weighed. 0 follower of Christ! you get into the balances. The bell of the judgment is ringing. You must sret into the balances. You get in on this side. Ou the other side the balance- wo will place all the opportunities of good which you did not improve, all the attainments in piety which you might have had. but which you refused to take. We place them all on tjjc other side. They go down, and your soul rises in the scale. You cannot weigh against all tko.se imperfections. I well, then, we must give you the advantage, and on your side the scales we will place all the good deeds you have ever done, and all the kind words you have ever uttered. Too light yet! Well, we must put on I your side all the consecration of your life, all the holiness of your life, all the prayers of your life, all the faith of your Christian lif.3. Too light yet! Come, mighty men of the pn-st, and get in on that side the scales,

Come, Payson, and Doddridge, and Baxter, get in on that side the scales and make them couie down, that this righteous one may be saved. They come and get in the I scales. Too light yet! Come, the martyrs, the Latimers, the WicklifTes, the men who suffered at the stake for Christ. Get on this side the Christian's balances, and see if you cannot- help him weigh it aright.

They come and get in. Too light! Come, angels of God on liicrh. Let not the righteous perish with the wicked. They get in on this sido the balances. Too light yet! 1 put on this side the balances aJl the scepters of light, all the thrones of power, all tho crowns of glory. Too light yet. But I just at that point, Jesus, the son of God, comes up to the balancos, and he puts one of his scarrcd feet on your side, and tlie balances begin to tremble from top to bottom. Then he put9 both of his scarred feet on the balances, and the Christian's side come down with a stroke that sets all the bells of heaven ringing. That rock of Ages heavier than any other weicht.

But says the Christian: "Am I to be allowed to get off so easily?" Yes. If some one should come and put on the other sido the scales all your imperfections, all your envies, all your jealousies, all your inconsistencies of life, they would not budge the scales with Christ on your side the scales. Go free! There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. Chains broken, nrison houses opened, sins pardoned. Go free! Weighed in the baliiiiees, and nothing, nothing wanted.

Oh! what a glorious hope. Will you accept it this day? Christ making up for what you lack, Christ the atonement for all your sins. Who will accept him? Will not this whole audience say: "I am insufficient, I am a sinner, I am lost by reason of my transgressions, but Christ has paid it all. My Lord, and my God, my life, my pardon, my heaven. Lord Jesus, I hail thee." Oh

if you could only understand the worth of that sacrifice, this whole audience would this moment accept Christ and be saved.

We go away off, or back into history, to get some illustration by which we may set forth what Christ has done for us. We need not go so far. I saw a vehicle behind a runaway horse dashing through tho street, a mother and her two children in the carriage. The horse dashed along as though to hurl them to death, and a mounted policeman with a shoutclearingthc way, and the horse at full run, attempted to seize those runaway horses and to save a calamity, wtien his ow.it horse foil and rolled over him. Ha was picked up half dead. Why were our sympathies so stirred? Because he was badly hurt, and hurt for others. But I tell you to-day of how Christ, the Son of God, on the blood red horse of sacrifice came for our rescue, and rode down the sky and rode unto death for our rescue. Are not your hearts touched? That was a sacrifice for you and me. O thou who didst ride on the red horse of sacrifice I come this hour, and ride through this assemblage on the white horse of victory.

Boulanger and the Catholic Tarty.

Since the see of Rome has been occupied by a Pope who knows how to be at the same time an uncompromising dogmatist and a circumspect politician, the French clergy has abandoned its militant attitude against the present form of government, its principal bishops have spoken moderately on this point, and have declined all formal adhesion to any party whatever. This, unfortunately is not the case with a notable fraction of the laymen of the Catholic party, who seem to be, above all, anxious to secure the interests of the Church by making bargains with vain promise-makers like General Boulanger, for the execution of whose promises they have no other guaranty than the impudent lies which have hitherto been the most remarkable facts of his career. We have seen political men, who are leaders of the Catholic party, openly enter the disgraceful coalition formed under our very eyes between pretended conservatives and the facetious general, whose only programme is Csesarism for his own benefit. If this alliance between the Catholic party—which we distinguish from the Church taken as a whole—and General Boulanger becomes a reality, it will be one of the most lamentable scandals of modern times, and all the momentary advantages which the Catholics might obtain at this price would be more than compensated by the contempt with which they would bntnd their creed for the greater success of atheism, to which they would furnish the best of excuses. They would be responsible for it before God and before men.—M. Edmond de Pressense, Senator, in Harper's Maga-* zine.
