Tha Fellowship Club, w hose memlership includes educators and professional men. has decided to invite the preachers of the city to attend the next meeting and answer to the charge that they, as a class, are clinging to old idea- and old sermons.

300 PEOPLK TRAMPLED TO DEATH ni'RIMi A PAMC IX A THEATER. Thirty-Four Adorn Killed nnd Two Probably Fatally Injured Town Ilnrned und Several Liven Lost. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23. Advices from Foo-Chow, China, received at Hong-Kong on Jan. 2 and brought here by he steamer Sallie to-day, report a terrible catastrophe in a temple at Kwang-Fou on Doc. S last. A theatrical performance was held for the first time in the place and was attended by a large crowd of natives and a few Europeans. One of the temple lamps was overturned firing the building. The panicstricken crowd tried to force a way through two small doors. In the crush &0 persons were trampled to death. The victims were principally women and children. Of the forty actors only four escaped alive, and two of the survivors are in the native hospitals suffering from internal injuries and may die. A conflagration, attended by ' sastrous loss of life, occurred at Yoshino, Tsukul district, Kanagwa prefecture, on the night of the 23th of December. The Ilames burst out at the end of the village, which was a place of 170 houses and, fanned by a strong wind, devastated nearly the whole village. The place faces the Sagami river and high cliffs rise behind, and some of the people, unable to effect their escape, were burned to death and several seriously injured. The Hakodate Steamship Company's steamer IIokkaido-Maru, which left Hoakodate for the Kuriles In November and has not since been heard of, was wrecked in the neighborhood of Etrupp. The passengers and crew, numbering 250, were rescued by the Kokuyu-Maru, which was"ent out to search for the missing vessel, and brought to Kakodate on the d instant. Philippine ItehelM Defeated. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23. The steamer Gaelic, from Hong-Kong and Yokahama to-day, brings the following statement, issued by the Spanish governor general of the Philippines, under date of Manilla, Jan. 4: "General Galbiz. with 200 men, seconded by the Sarrande and Alberts forces, routed at Faguig and other points of the River Pasig region 3,000 rebels of Cavite, commanded by the so-called General Agulnaido. The soldiers tootc several trenches, killing plenty of rebels. Till now there have been counted thirty-two killed and eighteen wounded. The navy assisted successfully In this operation. Active operations are going on at Bulacan and Batalan. The River Pasig region is now clear of rebels." THEY VERE ALL FOIl R.VT. An Incident In the tireeley-Ornnt Presidential Campaign. Philadelphia Times. With many others in the younger ranks of the Liberal party, I had preferred forcing the nomination of 1872 upon Mr. Sumner, in the hope that he, with all that he stood for, would best consolidate the thinking voters of the country who were honestly opposed to a second trial of Grant, but after the name of Sumner had been peremptorily withdrawn from the convention's consideration It was with relief that we saw the forces of scholarly Adams overcome by those of the man whose refusal to recognize the bargain made with Grant, for eight years in the White House, had been a potent factor In forcing the conflict between the wings of the Republican party. For myself, from earliest recollections I had been taught to honor and venerate Mr. Greeley, and through interest taken in the kindness of as warm a heart as ever beat, in my earliest ventures into newspaper work, he had blended these sentiments into a feeling of love, such as 1 had never felt towards any save my father. So there was no faltering on my part, and it was with a young man's enthusiasm and a fervor never felt since that I went into the campaign of '72. 1 had missed voting for Grant four years before, and was not now regretful, since my maiden presidential vote would be cast for Greeley. In such frame of mind I found myself in New York one afternoon in the summer of ls72. with a couple of hours to spare from business, and decided to inflict Mr. Greeley with a few minutes of such talk as he must have heard for hours from wellmeaning but mistaken supporters. Inquiry at the Tribune ofllce brought out the fact that Mr. Greeley was at the Lincoln Club, then his temporary headquarters, and I took the quickest conveyance to the clubhouse, a large old-styled mansion, located. I think; on Seventh avenue. My ring was answered, after an apparently unusual delay, and as the door opened I saw Mr. Greeley, with half a dozen followers, trooping up the broad stairs. One of these followers. I have always, felt confident, was a prominent Philadelphia politician, but without being sure, I would not mention his name. The ring of the bell had disturbed a conference in the parlor. Mr. Greeley led the way into a room at the top of the stairs, while no one thought of the propriety o-! closing the door, or perhaps, as the others were political strangers to Mr. Greeley, they were not aware of tho far-reaching power of his high pitch. Be this as it may. though the voices of his visitors were undistingulshable, the sharp tones of Mr. Greeley made every syllable distinctly audible to the waiting visitor in the parlor: while at the same time his replies to queries ami arguments showed plainly what those queries and arguments were pertinent to. I had stumbled upon a conference intended to bind Mr. Greeley in some way or other to Democratic Ideas, or to secure pledge or action that would pacify the Democratic heart that was raging at the thought of supporting its ancient enemy. The Baltimore convention had not been held, but its time of holding was near, and these counselors of Democracy sought to go to the delegate with at least the private assurance that Mr. Greeley had agreed to this and to that. Some olive branch must be held out. It was asklnpr too much to expect the delegates from Democratic strongholds to passively support one whom they hid been taught, almost from the cradle upwards, to look upon as an ogre. And. at a convention held in Baltimore! No. It was doubtful whether the indorsementnomination could be peacefully accomplished, and so Mr. Greeley must come to the rescue and give his expected supporters more inducement than simply "anything to beat Grant." indeed, he must, or they, the self-chosen counselors of Democracy, would not be responsible. How much would he yield? How much would he yield? At first Mr. Greeley's replies were pitched moderately, as he courteously declined to say anything In private that he had not already given to the world. Once he said: "Gentlemen, don't ask me for plol-. All the world knows what 1 Jim and all. the world can't change me. I coaldn t change if I wanted to." As he came into the parlor I had never seen him at such advantage. Flushed somewhat from his upstairs interview, his white hair semed more a halo than ever, while his brightened eyes shone with the victory of personal vindication. His handclasp was never more coruia:. and thus far the worries of the campaign seemed to have left his vigor untouched. Leading the way into the rear parlor, he flung himself into a chair In front of a large desk, covered with correspondence, and motioned me into one at his side. After a few personal and kindly inquiries he turned the conversation into a political channel by abruptly remarking: "Well. I see that you foiR at the League have pronounced for Grant." Compelled to assent, I told him how the great Union League of Philadelphia was far from being a unit in that pronouncement; how scores of the younger members, like myself, were against Grant, and how Colonel McClure had challenged the league to poll its membership. Musing a moment. Mr. Greeley suddenly asked: "Where is Morris L. Hallowell?" I replied that, so far as my knowledge went. Hallowell was for Grant. "Humph!" was the comment. Then: "Where is Hector Tyndale? ' Again I was compelled to make a similar replv. and telKhinrthat the general was for Grant. "Humph!" this time In a subdued yet shriller tone. Then, turning upon me. with a penetrating look, as though to say: "I have you now." he put a third query: "Where is Alfred Love?' A chiil ran through me as I felt the cold of the stab I must jrive. "Mr. Greeley, Mr. Love is for Grant." There ' waa no "umph!" this time. Wheeling about in his chair, so as to face partly th other way. his head sank for a moment that seemed hours to his visitor. Then, suddenly, he wheeled again, facing me, and in the old shrill voice, without a break, said: "Well, young man, go home and tell your friends that Horace Greeley will be elected anyhow!" . . No questions as to general outlook, no inquiries aa to the standing of politicians

and their allies, no care for Information beyond the desire to know how his allies of the old abolition days stood in the contest! M , What followed was of a personal nature, relating to some information Mr. Greeley desired from the Kast. and then I rose to go. With his handclasp to be my lastthere came a look into his eyes that I am reminded of when I gaze at Bodenhauser's masterpiece. Did he feel a prophetic coming on of evil? Did he instinctively feel that those who had dipped with him into the salt wero to accept the silver of his enemies? THIS HYDHOCYCLE. On tbe C.atnmaran Principle nnd TravelH Ten 311Ie an Hour. New York Herald. The very latest invention in the cycle line is a novcltv which the inventor calls a hydrocycle, but to the mind of the ordinary person water bicycle would seem the mot appropriate name. It Is the result of the work of I... V. Moulton, of Michigan, and is unique and 6triking in many resjects. This newest hydrocycle bears as little resemblance to the earlier water cycle as a sailing ship does to a crack ocean liner. There is hardly any machinery, what little there is being of the simplest sort and easily repaired. There is no complicated system of cogs and shafts to confound the inexperienced navigator or make life miserable tor the rider of the machine. Ball bearings make the work of running the machine very eay. and it shoots about on the surface of the water with little or no apparent exertion on the part of the rider. It is so constructed that it can be used either for passengers or freight, and has a carrying capacity of 500 pounds. It Is easily operated by one person, although there are accommodations on tho machine for. two. The cycle is constructed on the catamaran principle, and is about ten feet long from end to end. The lower part of the machine consists of two long cylinders, pointed at each end. They are made, of galvanized steel, and are held in position, side by side, about four feet apart, by strong steel rods. At the stern of the two cylinders are placed two small steel rudders, operated by the rider of the hydrocycle by means of two rudder chains, which are connected with the steering gear, resembling the ordinary bicycle handle bar. Only about a third of the spaco between the two cylinders is covered. Placed on this zinc llooring. well forward, is a seat very similar in appearance to a light wooden chair, on which the passenger of the hydrocycle ride?. Directly behind this seat is a seat for the driver of the machine. In appearance it is like the ordinary bicycle seat, while just be!ov are the two pedals through which is furnished the motive power to the machine. , Directly back of the seat on which the driver of the machine sits is the wheelhouse, or. more properly speaking, the paddle box of the machine. This wheelhcuse rises from the floor or deck of the hydrocycle and curves upward and backward behind the driver of the machine, thus forming a perfect shield, which protects him from the spattering of the water from the The wheel itself is a lifiht steel framework of the style known as double. There are eight light steel paddle blades, made of galvanized steel, which strike the water alternately as the wheel revolves. Th wheel Is set in motion by a sprocket wheel between tho pedals. In exactly the same way as does the sprocket chain and wheel on a bicycle. This hydrocycle weighs 22." pounds, and when worked by one man can go through the water at the speed of ten miles an hour without undue exertion on the part of the driver. It is absolutely Impossible to upset this craft or to sink her, owing to the fact that the two cylinders are airtight and are made in several compartments, so that an ipjurv to one does not necessarily mean that the buoyancy of the craft will be in anv way impaired. This hydrocycle Is on the water what the bicycle is on land. Its wight is not apparent when it is ;n the water, and the sharppointed cylinders move through the water with verv little resistance. It will live on a sea which would instantly swamp an ordl nary boat of its size. It can be turned in less than its own length and draws but a few inches cf water, even when carrying its entire capacity of weight. Georsf CJonliT ew Houxe. Philadelphia Times. Lakewood has hailed with jdy the announcement that George Gould has finally decHSed to erect a country mansion there. Attention was drawn to this fact by his purchase for $18,000 of a site on Lake Drive, near the Horseshoe Bend, overlooking Lake Carasaljo. and for the past few weeks rumors of his desire to sell his New York house have given rise to the story that he was soon to build in Lakewood. Hut it did not become an assured fact till last week, when the location was staked out and the contractors stated that they would break ground In a few days. Bruce Price has drawn, the plans, which call for a brick structure of three stories, to cost In the neighborhood of $100,000.
