YesfiPrd ay , throughout all the Chris tian land, was celebrated the fourth centenary of the great Reformer, Mar tin Luther, a man whose memory is sacredly revere i by all Protestant denominations, and to whose memory they feel too much honor cannot be done. To those who have made the history of "the reformation a study, the life of Luther is familiar, but in view of the general celebrations yesterday, a few of the leading incidents of his career will not be out of place in our t olumns this morning. Martin Luther was born in a small town called Eisleben, in Saxony, on the 10th of November, 1483. His father was a miner named John Luther, and shortly after4 Martin's birth he-moved to Mansfield where young Luther received his first schooling. Luther's first aim in life was to be a lawyer and at the age of 18, he entered the University at Erfurt, where he took the usual curse of study and was en dowed with the degree of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. It was during this time that Luther un derwent a profound change of mind. While searching among the volumes of the University library one day, he discovered a copy of the Latin Vulgate Bible. He examined it with eagerness and was astonished to find that there were more gospels and epistles, and other books, in it than he had ever seen before in the lectionaries used. He read and studied this Bible with deep interest, and was so impressed thereby that he resolved to change his profession and devote himself to a religious life. Suddenly he left his fellow students and friends in the university and entered an Augustin ian monastery at Erfuit. Htre he passed three years of great , interest and significance. In the study of the Bible and of St Augustine, and in pro found spiritual experiences through which he passed, he laid the founda tion of his future power and greatness. He struggled long under conviction of sin, the burden of which he declar ed 1 'too heavy to be borne." He sought peace of mind and forgiveness through fasting, penance and self mortifica tion, and was often in despair, and even nigh unto death. At last, through the spiritual counsel and comfort of Staupitz.the vicargeneral of his order, and of an old monk, he obtained a clear comprehension of Christ, and of the trutn that we have forgiveness and are saved through faiih in Christ alone, and not through the merit of fasting or penance, er any other good works of our own. Thus was the great doctrine of Justification by Faith wrought out, amid anguish and tears, in the soul of the Saxon monk, while an inmate of the monastery at Erfurt; and thus was he prepared for the great conflict which was, erelong, to open before him. He was ordained a priest in 1507, and his preaching produced marked effect." -It was in 1510 when he was sent on a mission to Rome, that he saw the pomp and pageantry of the Pope and his Court, when he first felt his faith weakening. Luthers first outbreak against the Catholic church was in 1513, when, he denounced the "sale of indulgences, Hand oh October 31st, 1517, he nailed the Theses to the old Castle church at Wittenberg. From this time on Luther waged open warfare against the Pope's power, and on the 10th of December, -1520, outside the Elster Gate of Witten berg, in the presence of, the faculty and studets of the university, and of a large concourse of people of all ranks and classes, he committed the Pope's bull,'with the decretals and entire Roman canon law, to the flames. This defiant act of Luther secured for himself excommunication from the church. What to do with Luther became the most pressing question before the Diet at Worms, before Mcn body 'be was arraigned and a demand niade Mpoti him : to recant; Luther's reply was; "Popes have erred and councils have erred. My conscience is held captive by , the word of God. It is neither right nor safe to do anything against conscience Unless with proofs of, the Holy Scrip tures, or with manifest, clear and dis tinct principles and argument ! am refuted and convinced, I can and wil recast nothing. Here I stand, i j can not do .otherwise. God help inel Amen I" - . , .'.." v , " Although Luther's death was de sired Dy a large part of. the Diet, was finally decide to sendhun Wfe tp Wittenberg to be dealt with a the church decided, ;i M. .Av V his return to Wtttenbtog whde T,oio?n&. - trrrwiiffh . a defile in the Nails the 95 Theses on the door of the church at Wittenberg, October 31, 1517.

Returns from the Wartburg to Wittenburg, March, 1522. Thuringian forest near Altenstein armed horsemen in disguise stopped his carriage, seized Luther an 1 car ried him off to Wartburg Castle near Eisenach. Here he was disguised as a knight known as Ritter George, and treated as an honored and priv ileged guest. Here he passed nearly a year, devoting himself in the mean time to the study of the Scriptures, and to a translation of the New Testa ment into German. The next step of importance iri the me or tne Ureat Ketormer was his marriage in June, 1525, to Catharina von Bora. He completed his transla tion of the Bible in 1530, and during the same year he attended the.Diet of Ausburg, where the Protestant arti cles of faith, known as the Ausburg Confession, were read, which com pleted the external work of the Refor mation and made it a recognized po litical power. Luther continued active to the last in preaching, and in efforts to correct evils in the church and in society. His advice and aid were sought by persons of all classes, from princes down to the humblest peasants, and his power and influence were felt not only in Germany, but in all circles of enlightened thought throughout Europe. The Reformation spread through Switzerland, Denmark, Nor way, Sweden and England, and many in France and other countries em braced the new light radiated from the flaming torch of the Monk of Wittenberg. Luther c maining years were full of interest, tho'j?h rather of a per sonal character On his .way to Eisleben to settle a family dispute he was taken suddenly ill, and on the 18th of February, 1546, he breathed his last in the town of his nativity. His death cast a pall of sorrow over all Germany. Never before nor since was there such a funeral in the Fatherland. A mighty rran an un crowned King among men had fallen, and the nation was bowed in tears be neath the shadow of his death. In the Castle , church, at Wittenberg, upon whose gates, thirty years before, he had fixed words that shook the world, his remairis are deposited be side those of his beloved associate, the irenic Melanchthon. Railroad Accident. Boston, Nov. 10. An engine and three passenger cars running from Lowell to Salem on the Lowell Road, and having among other passengers thirty school girls, went over an em bankment at Chelsea crossing into the swamp. It is not known hbw many were killed or injure d. Assis tance ha been sent to the wreck from several points. Later information from the train which met with the accident at Chel sea crossing, states that no one was injured except the engineer, who was slightly hurt. Railroad officials state that no passenger cars went off the track. French Matters. Paeis, Nov. 10. M. Challemel La cour has gone to Cannes. The ap pointment of M. Ferry as minister of foreign affairs is gazetted. La Liberte considers the visit of Crown Prince Frederick William of Germany to Spain a mere matter of etiquette. In regard to the nomination cf Marshal Serrano, a well known friend of France, to succeed the Due De Ferndn Nunes, as Spanish ambassa dor at Paris, is a fact which reassures the friendship of Spain for France. Tne Radical Programme. Belgrade, Nov. 10. M. 'Nikola Christie, the Servian Prime Minister, says the present state of affairs in the kingdom is the result of radical in trigues. The programme of the radi cals, he States, is the dethrone me at of King Milan and the proclamation of Queen Natalie as regent until Crown Prince Alexander becomes of age, : A Yioitia the Interest ol Peace. - .

Thou Strong Defense, Thou Holy Light, Teach us to know our God aright, And call Him Father from the heart; The Word of Life and Truth impart That we may love, not doctrines strange, Nor e'er to other teachers range, But Jesus for our Master own, And put our trust in Him alone. Hallelujah, Hallelujah! Thou Sacred Ardor, Comfort Sweet, Help us to wait, with ready feet And willing heart, at Thy command, . Nor trial fright us from Thy band. Lord, make us ready with Thy powers, Strengthen the flesh in weaker hours; That, as good warriors, we may force Through life and death to Thee our course. Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

Fires of incendiary origin are alarmingly frequent in the State of Georgia. Reports of the burning of gins and outhouses are of daily oc currence. Atlanta Constitution .' "The old ticket, " says the Philadelphia Times, "has been punched." True, but the people ma j conclude that Tildeh and Hendricks ought to have their ride out."' . There is a movement on foot in Virginia to present Hon. John L. Barbour with a carriage and span of horses as a recognition . of his great services in the past campaign. The fittest tribute the Democracy of . Vir ginia could pay to John L. Barbour would be to send him to the Senate as Mahone's successor. The Richmond Whig rem& rks : ' ' We shall not incite riots and commit, murder, no matter if we are defeated. All our weapons and implements to repair disaster are those of peace and reason." It would have been better if it had resolved on this at the beginning of the last campaign. The Republicans have nothing to boast over in the Minnesota election, Hubbard, the Republican candidate, was elected two years ago by 28,000 .majority, last Tuesday his majority was only 14, 000. In Nebraska, which gave a Republican majority two years ago of 14,933, the Republican candidate for Supreme court Judge was elected last Tuesday by about 2,000 majority, . Such a cutting down of majorities leaves little ground for the Republicans to exult over. FIRIJI G THE , NbRTHERN HEART. There is evidently a purpose 'tnani fested by? some; ol the Republican papers in the North to turn the Vir ginia election to account in firing the Northern "heart, and reviving the" feeling of sectipnalisni on which they ; have depended so largely in the past: The7 Danville "riot is made the pre tense for this, and although that was the only disturbance of a serious na ture recorded hi the .'entire State they are trying to make it appear that the Shot gun earned Virginia. To lessen the force of his 4ef eat Mahone will back them in this programme.
