TRESBYTEBIAX GENERAL ASSE5IDLY Judge Drake's Keaolntlon Agilnst the Validity of Koinan Catltolic iiaplism f'lcnssed. Ci.ftmsATi, May i'ö. At tho Prebyteriaa General Assembly this morning S. C Bell, D. D., of Mwscuri, offered resolutions against Sunday newspapers, ;nd commltticg the church to the policy cf "what ia commonly known as prohibition." The38 resolutions were referred to the Committee on Temperance and Church Tolicy. Bishop Foe?, of the Meitolist EpIs:opal Church, was invited to a seat on the platform and wa3 rcesived by tbe Moderator, the Alse mb!y standin?. The Standing Committee on Freelmen reported that the total receipts for the year werellC.220 Under tbe cure of thia board are V. churcbes, with 11 '.72 communicants, 1Ü1 Sabbath-tcbcol and 13,4o'. tcboiarj. Dniing the year 1,' OS membars have biea added to these churches. Itev. K. H. Allen, 1 . I) , of rittsharq, Secretary of the board, delivered a Et'rrinj; ad drts which was frequently app!andd. He was followed be K. N". Payne, of Iowa, who wps Colonel of a colored regiment dariag the late war. This afternoon Judge Drake' Hornau embolic resolution is the special order. The assembly having previously adooted cranimoubly the report of Ih9 Judicial Cooimittee, to which was referred air. Braltraw'a appeal from the Synod of Ne Yt.rk, reccommp.ni3in2 that the anpfial ba diMniased on tbe prouDd that the prvions crtiverascss of the üeneral Assemhlv have left rath the sessions the ribt bdecida nron the validity of lloman Catholic baptism in particular caes. This appeal was b&fed on the leqnirement cf frinotou "Church that an applicant who had b?en. baptized in. the Cat no lie Church snonld t9 rebaptized. At 3 p. m., wnen JaiUa Drake's milltion againet the validity of Roman Catholic baptism was taken up, te yielded the floor, asking that tome opponent open tbe debate, and that he be allowed to cloee. Dr. Alexander, Prolestor in tbe theological seminary of Sau Franc:f co spoke in opposition to the resolution. He said it was useless, as it would not be a deliverance bot simply an expression of opinion for thoee voting. It was miashlevotu, since, by passing it, wa would mtke ourselves the laughingstock of the world. It is mere tapal than all the Popes com bined. It involves a rnbiepresentation of the standards, according to which the "visible church" ia composed of all those who profess the trae religion. This relation denies the validity of the baptism administered to millions of persons, who hava come into the Protestant Church from the P.oi,an CathoL!c Church, and never received anv other baptism. Dr. K II. Nevin fallowed at some length, shcft'irjs In what tbe corruptions of tbs Kornau Catnolic Church consisted. Dr. Schaff otl'ered a substitute for the resolution to the eflect that the Roman Catholis Chorch, thocgh corrupt and teaching many uncctiptural errors, yet, retaining th Holy J-cript nre's ancient creeds, with all tin locdacjental truths ot Carktianitj, is still a branch of tlevUible Church of Christ, and. therefore, the sacrament of baptism administered by that church, with ti-e r:git to baptize, is true aud valid Christian baptism, which can not sind ought net to be repeated. Dr. ScbaS apoke in favor of the subs'.ltuto by shoeing fromlhs history of the chatci that baptism administered in the Vame ot tbe Trinity with tbe proper intention, regardltis of the character of the one administerirjR it, bad always been considered valid. Farther debate was postponed until tomorrow afternoon. CINCINNATI'S FIRE 1I0I.R02C. seventeen Llvea Lost tn a Ten Minutes Fire Au iuuoief Eicap Close nt Ii an it Unheeded. . Cim'ikxati, May 21. This city has bad its ihare of thockicg disas'.ers, but never ha i one happened where such a pitilnl hsiof lite bas occurred a i that of to-day with so lit tie occasion. In lets than fifttca minutea afler th9 fatal blnndsr began,' sixteen or seventeen percons perithed. Lcoking over tne scene after the event. It is pialn that e7err life could have been easily saved. Shirt as tbe time was. there were displays of thoughtfor heroism that saved two lives, but one cf the beioes lost his own life. At 1:3) th's aftemcon, Mr J. A. Green, city editor of the Tirxfs-S'.ar, upm going np the stairway to bis cCice, taw dense cloads of smaks iasa'ng from the rear windows of toe buiidiat; No. Vj and -1 VTeßt ixth street, and immedia'ely telephoned to the fire department. An alarm ot lire bronght the engines a' most instantly and as the firemen ciutd reach the bnlldiDg froai ftont aud rear it iru not fifteen ininotes until the fire was so mach under control that Chief Engineer Wisby was able to reach the lifth or top tbor. Uat he was too late to men, the girls employed there, and to his horror he found ten detd bodies lying with their hand! to their faces, snd faces blackened and distortei in death. The Chief said, in speaking of it: "The bouse is not burned out. Ia fact, the tire was chiefly in the fifth story. In the smake I counted ten girls lying upon benches, tables and ether things some on the flair. Their clothing was not burned, bat the skin on tue backs cf their haida waa scorched. It was a: terrible sight, the worst I ever saw in my experience." It baa now been fairly ascertained tha. the lire started from a can of keszioe on the sec

ond floor, near the elevator shaft The shaft reaches to the top of the building, and fron the third atory to tbe fifth. It was encircled by a wooden a'airway, which was the only means of accees to these floors. The elevator Ebaft, to add to its combustibility, was surrounded with a thin woiden lattice work. The fourth Soor was a storage and .waste rccro, and the fifth was the folding room. As econ as the re started, John Sullivan, a young man, cousin nt the proprietor, ran uo ite stairway to the fifth floor to give warning to tte girls. Instantly, almost, he found he was too late to get them dawn the stairway, and that his own retreat waa cut off. What he dit for the frightened girls could only be told by the glimpses that could bs seen of him at tbe eiutking window, whence four of the girls had already leapel to their death. J. It Kinsley's eon and bis foreman had gone to thereof of their buildine, adjoiniu this or. tbe est, and knowing ths girls were impreened on tbe floor below, they procured a rcpe erd lowered it to the inoow where Sudivan was. He instantly grtepei it, and astf-cing one of tbe gir's to it, helpei her out of the window, and Kiuslay and Sarader lowered her to the sidewalk. Tberopsrrts h'OUjibt up and Sullivan asia qaxkly fat tied it to another girl aod cr.t her down safely. Tbe rope came a third time, and as the other girls by this time ttere all eu3cated or were afraid to venture, SaUivan fastened tbe rope ta his own holy and was beirjr lowered when, as he w.ia half way down. the flamfs shot oat of a window and he fell head foremost to tbe Bidewalk in the presence of ahorrined crowd of people who had witnessed his heroism "When tbs gills were jumping from the window a large colored man heroically tried to catch them, and so break their fall. He nearly lost Lis life in the attempt. Within ten minutes after tbe lire began the patrol wagons were called lino use to carry away the wounded ard kill d. As well as can be ascertained there wer about fifty occupants of tbe building?, of whom twenty or twenty-five were girls, in the ii'th story. The boys were on ths second and third floors, aud this accounts for their escape. All agtes that tbe s,rsadoftb9 flameawaa almo&t instantaneous- Mr. Kinsley, who ran to his upper l!cors in tü rear, where the flames were in danger cf cornice through bis windows, found tns smoke eo dense he tbat he had tocrarvi on tbe floor to reach bis window ayd close it. All this while there was an avert ce of eicjpf which tbe panic etrickvn girls oul not think of. It was aa opening in th tODf which they could have reaccel from a beach sta ailing beside the wall, atd enca on the ro-f they could rave reached other balidinir? with perfect ease Toe lack of ready acne to this place lost all these lives. Tbe fif v.88 almost insignificant. Inat wooiei stairway around the elevator shaft is no', burned so as to bs useless or even nnsa'e. vet the flames Eeem to have pervaded all the flcors and to have ruired all the raasr taJ other light and combustible material.

This afternoon a cab rut red the New York entrance cf the Brooklyn bridge, and was driven to tbe middle of the great span. Here the driver pulled np, and two men got out and began to climb the railing. Before they had reached tbe top, a bridge policeman came runnier; toa-axd them, brandishing his clCb, and ordericg them to "get down and thot," While he was talking wsth the young, men, a covered wagon containing Protestor Robert E Odlnm and a companion, stopped about a hundred feet behind the cab.

Tbe people on the bridge tent up a cry of horror when they saw

the rroiessor prepare to plunge off the bridge into the river, 135 feet 'beneath his teet.

Ha held oee hand above his head as a redder to guide him. The river below at the moment was clear of thipping. A teg and a schooner floate! laz'.ly in the etre&m reveral hundred yards below the bridge. The tog was filled with reporters and club men. Boynton stood near the prow, aDxicntly watching the bridge. The moment Profeisor Odium's bndy was seen to leave tbe raiürg Harry A. Dixon, the actor, started a watch, which he held in his hand, in crdtr to tine the descent. For nearly a hundred feet tha Professor came down all ' rgl t, feet first, and he thct downward with the speed cf a ruete-.r, his red enit making him easily digcernable for a longjdistance. When within thirty feet of the water his body bgn to turn. As if realizing h:sdaDger, Prolesscr OcUam brought down Us hand wi'h a warlike ntotion to aid him ia recovering his ba'ance.

Victor Hngo died yesterday afternoon at Lis home in Paris, France. Victor Marie Hngo was bom in Besancan, February 2G, l-u2. The son of an officer whose duties called him out of France, he was carried in childhood to Fibs, Carsisa, Switzerland and Italy. In 109, he was taken to Paris; and here fcr two years, under the exclusive supervision of his mother and the care of an old priest, he commenced his classical studies In company with an elder brcther, Eaerene, and' a young girl, who afterward became his wife. Iu IS 1 1 , hts father having been made General and appointed Majordomo of Joseph Bonaparte, the new King o 8pin, Victor went to Madrid and entered the Seminary of Nobleä with a view of becoming one cf the pages of Joseph; but subsequent events defeated thia desigr. In 1S12 Madame Hugo returned to Paris with her two sons, and had their classical education continued by tha Lime Clergyman who had already instructed them. On the fall of the Empire a separation took place between the General end his wife, and thenceforth the young man was placed entirely under the control of the former. He entered a private academy to prepare himself for admission to the Polytechnic School. Here he evinced some taste and ability fir mathematics, but a much stronger inclination toward poetry, and his first poem gave promise of tuch talent that his father was finally persuaded to allow him to follow literature as his vocation. In 1817 he presented to the French Academy a poem upon "Lee avantages de l'etude " He afterwaid won three prizes in succession at tbe Toulouse academy of floral tames His first volume of "Odra et Eal'ades (1822) created a sen tion. Two Eovels, "Hau d' islaade" (1SJ3) and "Dog Jargal" (1S25), exhibited hitu as an original aod forcible prose writer, but already displayed that pre d-Uctlon for the horrible and monstrous which characterizes most of his greater productions. His second volu-oe of "Odes et Ballades'' appeared in 182;. About this tiricd, in conjunction with Saint Bsnve, Anleine and Emile Deschamps, A. de Vig rey, Bonlsnger, tbe painter, and Dvid, ths sculptor, he formed a literary associatloa ca'led the Cenacle," in tbe meeting! of which new literary and artistic doctrines weie debated. They also established a periodical called "La Mose Francalee," rvhtch attracted little attention. 'The drama of "Crcmwell" 11827). although unsuitable for tbe stage, was presented as a specimen of the literaiy reforms aimed at by the new school; but it bad mucu leas importance than the preface, whirh was a treaties on testhettes. Thenceforth Victor Hugo was the acknowledged leader of the romanticists, who waged earnest war against their opponents, tbe classicists. Hia claims to thia distinction were strengthened la 1523 by tbe publication of "Lea Orientales," "Le Derpter Jour D'un Condamne," which followed, fascinated the public by its viyid de

lineation of the mental tortures of a man docmed to execution. The contest between the two opposite schorls reached its climax when cn February 28, 1830, the drama of Hernani" was produced at the Theater l'rancaia. Jn ISol Hugo won another dramatic triumph with "Marlon Dslcrme." while bis lyrical poems, "Les feuilles d'antcmne." and his novel, '".Notre Dame de Paria," were received with enthusiasm. The perfcrmarce cf hts dramas, "Le roi e emuse" (1S.;2), "Lucrece Bcrgia' and "Marie Tador" (182), "Andels, tyran de Padone" (lS.io), "Les voix interieures" (1S37), and "Les rayons et les interieures" ( 1840) were highly popular; ard bis miscellaneous writings, "Claude Gceux," "Etude eur Mi;a eau," "Lit erasure et Philosophie melees" (131), and "Le Rhin" (1842) were scarcely If ss successful. His literary reputation had secured h:s elccion to tne French Academy in lill, net withstat cling the opposition of the n embers attached to ths old clastic school ; and having thus reached tho highest distinction in literature, he now ixdalgcd in political aspiratiors. which w?a partlv gratified by his beiDg created in 1:13 a Peer of France by King Louis Thlllippe. Oa the revolution of IMS, he was elected a Deputy to tbe Constituent Assembly, where he generally voted with the Conservative party. On his re election to the Legislative Assembly, he evinced more Oemocratic aod so:iaIist:c tendencies, Ia vehement speeches he denounced the reaclonary :tendencies cf the majority, and the secret policy cf President Louis 'apoleon. On the coup d'etat of December 2, IS.jI, Hugo was among thtne Deputies who vainly attempted to as3ert the rights of tbe Assembly and to preserve the Consluticn. His conduct led to h's proscription; he took refuse in the Island cf Jersey, wfceie, while resuming his literary persuits, be continued his opposition to Louis Napoleon, publishing "Napoleon la Petit" ISÖ2), snd his bitter ratirea. ''Les Chatiments ' (1s"j3). Two years later he was compelled, cn account cf some hostile manifestations to the French Government, to remove to the ieiand of Guernsey. He lef aiei to accept the amnesty ottered to political exiles ia Is3:. In 185(J be published '-Leg Contemp!a:ioas," a collection of iyriral and personal poems, and in 1S59 "La Legende des Siecles" (two vols , 8vo.), a series of poems mainly of an epical character. "Les Miserables," a romance which had ben announced several years before, appeared in tine languages simultaneously at Paris, Losdon. Brussels. Madrid, Berlin, St Petersburg, Turin and New Ycrk(AprÜ, 1SÜ2). Its euccess equalled that cf any of his previous worts Au illustrated edition, published in parts (Paris, 18C3-5), attained a sale cf 150,000 cop:s. In 16C5 be published "Chansons des Riea et des Bois," in which all of tbe ptca!iaritit?3 cf tha author were exhibited in an exagzeratsd degree. "Les Tra'aLleurs de la Mer"(lSti';i was also very popular; but "L'homse Qii Rit" (lG9), in which the author's fondness for mons(rou3 creatures was carried to Its heitht, did net attain eo great a success. In IStO te Bjrain refnsed to atail hin.seif cf the privilege of returnine to France afTorded him by the Emperor'a proclamation of amnesty August 15. HepubliJhed in tho Rappel a 'protest aga'nst the plebiscite cf May 5, ISTo, ratifying the new reforms cf the Empire, the violence of which caused it ;o be officially condemned. After tha fall of the Emperor and the proclamation of the new republic, be returred to Paria aud soou after issued an p.dJress to the Germans, ca'ling npon them to proclaim a German Republic, atd extend the band of friendship to l rat.ee. Oa Fttrcary b, J?7l, he was elected one of ihe forty-three Representatives cf the Dspartment ot tbe Beine in tbe Katloaal Assembly. Be there vehemently oppose! the parlierrectary treaty of peace between France and Germany. Thia aroueed against him tbe anger ot the party of "toe Right," and oa March 8, when he attempted to addresj tbe Assembly, the oppcattion was" so violent that he left the tribune and immediately resigned his eeat. Returning to Paris when tte insurrection cf the Commune broke, cut. he vainly protested in tbe Rappsl against toe destruction of the V'ndcrue columu, aid teen after went to Brussels, wbere cn May 2C be wrote a letter protesting against tb court e of the Belgian Government in regard to tbe iLSorgents cf Paris, and oiTencg an aylum to soldiers of the Uoaimune. Thia excited tue hostility cf tbe Belgian Government and of the populace of Brussels; his house wss surrounded in the night by a mob and he escaped only by tbe intervention of the police. Beleg required by tae Government to quit Brussels'be went to London, and, after tbe condemnation of tbe leaders of tbe Commune, be returned to Paris and interceded with M. Thiers energetically, tnongh vainly, in behalf of Rossel, Rocbefort and others of tbe Communist leaden. At tha election in Paris cn January 7. 1572. be was prteented by all the radical neTsrcprs cs tbeir cardida, but was defotted. Paring fie siege of Paris a new edition of Lts CfcaMrcenis'' was published, and more than 1G0.0C0 ccpiea were cold. In 1872 he published a volume cf poetry, entitled "L'Annee Terri hie," depicting tbe misfortunes of France. On May 10 of that year he commenced, la comracy with his ton Francais and others, the publication of a democratic journal, called "Le People Souverain."
