Conference was opened by Rev. Geo. Stafford leading in devotional exercises. The journal was read. Tbe tellers reported the sixth ballot: S.P. Calvin, 43 L. C. Buckles, 37 no election. On motion, the chair appointed J. L. Smith, G. M. Boyd and A. A. Gee to convey the greeting of the conference to the lay conference, and extend the courtesies of the conference to them. The memorial to the general conference, upon the support of superannuated preachers, was referred to the committee on centenary. The committee on Freedmen's aid society were granted a leave of absence. The recommendation of Isaac N. Lane, for local deacon's orders, was presented. Studies marked 8 W. II. Broomfield, marked 8.5 C. Z. Lambert, marked 8.5 elected to deacon's orders. The seventh ballot resulted in no election. Rev, Mr. Severinghaus was introduced to the conference. W. II. Smith was granted a supernumerary relation. The members of the lay conference were received and introduced to the ministerial brethren, and President Beale addressed the conference. He was glad to receive the salutations of the brethren and recognized the need of a Btill closer union between ministers and laymen. They, as laymen, would feel more earnestly the need of upholding the hands of the ministry under all circumstances, whether they got the light men as pastors or not. [Continued applause.] "Blest bo the tie that binds

Our hearts in kindred love."

was sung with great feeeling. Bishop Harris replied. Bishop Kingsley said the,time ought to be measured by events. Men who live now are older than Methusaleh. The president of the lay conference was the bishop's former pupil, though he felt a little delicacy in stating it, as he looked upon his white head, and was much surprised to find his former pupil in the chair of the lay conference, to-day. The ministers were all laymen once, and the laymen have commissioned the preachers to their work. That is the custom of our church. Laymen judge of the qualifications, endowments, gifts, and grace of the one called to the ministry. The laiety stand at the door and send the ministry out, so they must stand at the door and receive those they have sent out. There are many offices in the Methodist church, and these offices are for the benefit of the church, not the man. The bishop, in the name of the ministers, challenged the lay conference to a year of hard work. The lay conference accepted the challenge by arising vote. The ministerial conference rising also in jrenlw fine arrav. xmj iSymen, the elder body appearance, seemed to hardly differ in dignity and grace from their clerical brethren. Both were at least a unit in spirit. "Come let us anew our journey pursue" was started and sung with spirit. On the eighth ballot L. C. Buckles was elected delegate. S. P. Calvin thanked the solid phalanx of two score that stood by hini from first to last. The call for local elders met with no response. The report of the committee on education reported in reference to Asbury University, Ninety thousand dollars had been raised. Sixty thousand were yet required to meet tbe conditions of the DePauw endowment. If each conference should assume the interest on fifteen thousand the amount can be insured. The report called for such action. The report was adopted. The conference roll was called as ordered by the report. A motion to reconsider the report was lost. The roll was called and about 70 names of the conference agreed to take shares of $10 each. Several of the brethren couldn'tget a clear idea, but their wives and the laymen stepped in and took their places. A committee was appointed to secure enough names to complete the number required, (105), which were soon secured. Conference requested the appointment of A.B. Bruner as secretary of the La I'orte Y. M. C. A., he having been elected to that position. The relations of Dr. S. Godfrey, D. W. Risbor and G. J. Yaufcht were continued. The relation of J. L. Smith was changed to effective by a vote of 45 to 24. Rev. Mr. Jenkins, of the Southeast Indiana conference, and Rev. Mr. White, of the Terre Ilaute A. M. E. church, were introduced. The Episcopal fund and general conference funds were equally apportioned to the various districts adopted. Report on Freedman's aid received and adopted. Report on memoirs deferred to Monday morning. J. L. Smith, Jas. Johnson, G. W. Stafford and L. Nebeker were elected triers of appeals. Dr. Fowler, missionary secretary, addressed the conference. Appointments were read.

Adjournment.

The lay conference met pursuant to adjournment in the chapel of Asbury church. Opened by E. G. Hogate and A. R. Colburn with prayer. Minutes read. A message was received from Mr. Studebaker conveying his thanks to the conference. A resolution was adopted requesting the general conference to change the day for the election of lay delegates to the second day of the session of the annual conference.

J. L. Holloway introduced a committee from the annual conference who conveyed fraternal greetings. The conference took a recess and visited the clerical brethren up stairs. Upon returning the minutes were read and approved.

Adjourned sine die. Services at the Opera House. The owner and management of the opera house, with characteristic liberality, have donated the use of the opera house to-morrow evening and Rev. Drs. McCabe and Fowler will conduct the services which begin in the evening at 7:30 o'clock.

Woman's Home Mission Society.

The object of this society was explained by Mrs. Dr. Rust, of Cincinnati, a pleasant matronly woman, with no affectation of words or manner. This society has essentially a mission among the poor and neglected of our native land. In the south, in Utah, among the poor of the great cities. A large number of ladies had already been sent to these various home fields. Some specimens of the work from the sewing schools were exhibited.

Mrs. Dunton, one of these missionaries, a charmjng lady, addressed the conference, relating many incidents gathered from her field of labor, which were listened to with great interest, and when called upon for a collection the audieace responded liberally.

Everybody looked happy when Chaplain McCabe made his appearance and taking a place at the organ sang '"Beautiful Hands" and "The Little Trundle Bed." Tnese songs must always be sung when the chaplain comes to the conference, and he never fails to draw the tears and shouts of the brethren. The chaplain begged the brethren to let him off for supper and he'd come right back, which he did, and led a '.large congregation in song for half an hour.

The Missionary Anniversary.

Prayer was offered by C. A. Brooke. Rev. W. H. Hickman, the secretary of the conference missionary society, said: A slight increase had beeu made in the contributions of the churches which was $5,000. Legacies bad not amounted to much last year.

Dr. Aarom Wood was elected president, W. Prettyman vice president, G. W. Switzer secretary, S. B. Town treasurer.

Dr. Fowler was introduced. VVe are nearing the time when

Christianity

will take charge of all the people of the world in the life time of persons living, even if it takes a great sw£ep of faith to believe it. The speaker traced the progress of religion through forty centuries till Christ came to light the church out of naturalism and Judaism into the broad spiritual eternal kingdom of God. It has been hard work to get the religious idea into the head of human being. It took 600 years to take the collars off the neck of the Anglo Saxon and make a free man of him. God teaches by every possible utterance and truth that,the heathen needed a redeemer, and

waB

willing to sacrifice

His son to show His interest. Criticism of the missionary cause is criticism of Mount Calvary. Saving faith involves the absolute surrender of the entire being to the will of God. We will find beyond death what we take with us, a good or a bad state of things. But we cannot take a good character without the transforming power of the Spirit of God. Paul's description of the character of the heathen shows his terrible condition, if he takes such a character as that into eternity. No wonder Paul strongly felt his commjBsion to preach the gospel. There ai'e no heathen in this land. There are some very bad, but all the talk about heathen in this country is fraudulent. It is a question as to light and knowledge of the gospel. The heathen have no light, no knowledge, and are going without hope into the future. The outlay in behalf oI heathen brings fifty times as great returns as money laid out at home, and it only costs the Methodist church 3 per cent, to gather and send it, and that is mostly de-

taft,£r",§a'!v«?oSf*6r

You can be saved by faith in a minute. You can be cleansed in a minute by faith, but'you can not grow into the statute of Christ Jesus. We grow ourselves by giving, praying, working. God puts upon the sensitive chruch the great dying world, and he wants us to Be men that we can come up to the Lelp of the Lord as men of full stature. The second coming of Christ will be a spiritual one in the hearts of the people. Not the end of the world, for God is not going to destroy the world in its very beginning, for we are now near the consummation of this coming of Christ. In the last 75 years, Christianity has made more progress than in the 1800 years proceeding. A century ago only the Mothodists dared to preach man might know his sins were forgiven, but now'n every church you may hear that doctrine. P»e distinction to-day between the dhurches is only asocial distinction. Intemperance has been almost driven from the church. Before 1800 more copies of infidel books were sold than all other books together. Now 180,000,WO of copies of the Bible alone have been published. LTnder the regular law of growth in the next twenty years there will be a church and school house within the hearing of every human being. The Methodist church wants to give §800,000 this year. Our ability is far greater. The Christian people, if they did as much for the world as they did for the negro twenty years ago, would give $800,000,000 for missions. The salvation of the world is reduced to a matter of dollars and cents.

The speaker closed with a gaudy tribute to the civilization of England and America, and the glorious possibilities of Christ springing from the blessings which they enjoy.

The congregation, led by chaplain McCabe, sang "Glorious Fountain," and "I'm a child of a king."

Benediction by Bishop Harris. Notes, Dr. Wesley Prettyman preaches at the Central Presbyterian church tonight.

Conference will probably adjourn and the appointments be read to-mor-row night.

E. G. Hogate, of Danville, is well known in this part of the county, and will well represent the conference.

Several of the conference ministers visited the jail and distillery, yesterday, seeking subjects for sermons and temperance lectures.

Dr. Aaron Gumey, formerly of this conference, is now a member of the Rock River conference and has filled successively three Chicago pulpits.

Francis M. Pavey was born in 1S82. He is an Indianian, and entered the conference in 1857. He is a plain, earnest preacher, of great acceptability in the pastorate and as presiding elder.

L. C. Buckles is the present popular presiding elder of the Greencastle district. He was born in Ohio in 1S33, and entered the traveling connection^ in 185S. He has held almost evory im-

Eas

ortant charge in the conference, and been uniformly successful. Rev. Samuel Beck is well known as the present pastor of Asbury church. He is about fifty years of age, and has filled such pulpits as Attica, Greencastle, Crawfordsville and Frankfort. He was a presiding elder the full term, and then appointed to Asbury, Terre Haute.

When ol Dr. Wood takes a share in anything he always remembers his boys, Tom and Joe. He knows the value of a Christion education and is always ready to vote intelligently without asking for a multitude of explanation. He is always on the correct side, too. A complimentary vX*"t suggested making the doctor again delegate to the general conference. But the extreme age of the doctor was the only objection.

Dr. Wood in his talk to the laymen said once the bishops had no trouble in getting rid of cranky preachers. They would go off and their people would go with them.and they would

but now the people will not follow their preachers off, and consequently the preachers remain to bother the bishop and trouble the church. Whetner the ministry are loyal to Methodism or not the laiety are.

Clement Studebaker was elected delegate to the last general conference, and took quite a prominent part. He was made a member of the "book committee" who have charge of the great publishing interests of the church. His collection was not unexpected. Air. S. is president of the manufacturing company of that name in South Bend. He is a self-made man, haying come up from the smallest beginning, a good citizen, an earnest christian, and a man of pleasing social manners.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOIi.

Lesson for September. 2—Subject—The Death of Samson—Judges, XVI., 21-23.

The life and death of Samson is an illustration of great possibilities thrown away and utterly lost because of selfindulgence. Israel had leached a terrible state of serfdom at the time of Samson's birth. It was 200 years after their deliverance by Gideon, and in those 200 years they had been in slavery many times, to be delivered by judge3 raised up by God for that purpose. The people had lost all heart had no courage to respond to the call of their would-be deliverer. They bound him with their own hands and surrendered him to their oppressors. Samson was of the tribe of Dan, of the town of Zora. His birth was heralded by an angelic messenger.

In accordance with the divine command he was consecrated to the life of a Nazarite from his cradle by his mother's vows. He drank no wine, ate no grapes, suffered the locks of his hair to grow uacut. From his youth he gave tokens of that extraordinary strength which afterward rendered his name proverbial. His fame was not confined to his own nation. It is claimed that Hercules was but a heathen transformation of Samson.

The story of Samson's life is familiar to all. How he tore to pieces the young lion that came in his way, how he slew the Philistines with tbe jawbone, and the many other feats of strength are as familiar as the children's stories. And then in his death how he slew the thousands who had assembled in the palace to mock the blind Samson, by pulling down the great building on himself, is an old story. The story of his betrayal be Delilah, too. is an old story, and one which has been held up lor its moral teachings from time immemorial.

It is not, then, because there is anything new to be told of this giant deliverer of Israel that tbe story is repeated, but that the lesson of the folly ot self-indulgence may be taught. His very strength was his weakness. His possibilities were great, but he was governed by no high moral purpose, and these great powers given him were misdirected. Hewaswnolly wanting in the power of self-restraint. He broke the bands with which Israel bound him, but had he been a man of true moral courage, lie would never have allowed them to bind him. He delivered himself from the town of Etoza by a marvelous feat of strength but the weakness that could suffer him, a judge of Irael, to pursue a Philistine harlot into the trap there set for him, was more marvelous still. He slew the Philistines by thousands, yet he was weak enough to allow one wicked woman to rob him of his strength. He lived an aimless life and died a martyr's aeati., wi uiiw mat was truuiesa of anygood to his people or the race.

In different forms the history of Samson is being re-enacted every day. Every day we see Young America glorying in his strength and using it to no purpose. We see him lingering in the lap of self-indulgence until his strength is wasted, and he'dies in an inglorious death, leaving other results than a record of failures. Every young man, like Samson, relies on his strength to release him from the toils with which he is willingly being bound. He is superior to his brother, who lives a moral, upright life, and rushes into excesses for the simple purpose of testing his strength. He looks upon the man who does not indulge in excesses as a milksop, who must tread a narrow way because he is not possessed of the great powers to allow him to go to extremes. Like Sampson he sees that he can break away from the traps into which he has willingly walked, and he trusts that these mere physical powers will always rescue him. But fie does not realize that the physical is subordinate to the moral forces, and that unless they are sustained by the latter they will be to no purpose, and will utterly fail.

The one great reason for Somson's fall was that he had no fixed purpose in view. He went on doing brilliant acts, and acts worthy of praise, but they were not parts in any one great purposeful whole. He lived from day to day, without looking beyond the present. The man who follows his example in life will meet with the same reward in death. The brilliant man without a purpose or aim in life may fall, while the mediocre man with a purpose will succeed if he sticks to that and follows it throughout life.

THE HIGH SCHOOL.

A Full List of Scholars in Our City Schools Promoted to the High School.

The public schools open to-morrow morning after a ten weeks' vacation. The teachers have all returned from their trips and the majority of the pupils. The indications are that a large attendance will be had in all the differerent grades. The High school, especially will be large, as the promotions to that department were in excess of other years, and last year's Freshman class will probably be well represented. It has been the rule for years that of the number of pupils entering High school, one-half would drop out at the end of the year. From the number who have signified their intention of attending the coming year the Sophomore class will be a large one.

The school buildings have all more or less been repaired. The rooms have been thoroughly cleaned and will be ready for occupancy to-morrow morning. In many of the wards the desks have been varnished. Many things have teen done whit will beautify the rooms and add to the convenience and comfort of the pupils. The books to be used are the same as last year.

Two new features of the High school, the literary society and gymnasium, were added last year. Money was raised by subscription and by entertainments. A floor was put in one of the rooms in the basement and now has a fair amount of aparatus. If the interest of last year continues, by the end of the year the school will be possessed of a first-class gymnasium. The literary so-iety prospered last year, and it has proven a beneficial addition to the school. Below will be found the names of those promoted to the High School, their ages and per cents. Those marked "C" are promoted conditionally, and will be put on trial for three months. There is no eighth year grade in the Fourth district, and consequently no promotions.

The following list of names gives the age, whole number of tests and the average:

BAD BASE BALL.

Tie Second Qame Between the Fort Hurons and the Terre Hautes—The Latter

Defeated.

The game at the park yesterday between the Port Hurons and Terre Hantes did not draw a very large crowd. The home team was again beautifully downed, the score standing 12 to 8. Halbriter and Krehmeyer were the battery for the home team, and Mount joy and Myersfor the visitor.j. Halbriter pitched a good game, but was rather wild. Krehmeyer's support was good. Mountjoy's pitching was very switt, and Myers' catching was first class. A large number of errors were made by both sides, the Terre Hautes having ten credited to them and the Port Hurons eleven., The in-fielding of our boys was fair hut the out-field-ing surpassed anything that ever has been seen on these grounds. Nelson distinguished himselt by making two splendid running catches. Robinson made the two best running catches of the day and was loudly applauded. Myers also made two good catches. The visitors are all good batters and won the game by their slugging. The running of n'en off of bases was an improvement upon that of the previous day. The umpiring was good with the exception of two decisions. A man was on third and in trying to^make home ran off the line and the iball which was fielded in by Nelson fstruck the runner. The umpire cilled him safe. Barnes fouled jout butvas tbe umpire called it a striae. If dicisioii had been given as the boys claimed it should the game would have been theirs as four more runs were gotten in afterwards.

The park directors have released Horn, Nolan and McKennan. The latter has been sick for some time past and was advised not to play ball any more this season. Horn's arm has been sore for quite awhile and he was unfit for the field. Nolan did not fill the expectation of the manager. The boys intended leaving last night. Horn going north and Nolan to New York where he resumes his old position of glass blower. The report that McGuire has been released is incorrect, as he thinks he will be able to commence playing the coming week.

A Player's Opinion.

One of the players of the Terre Hautes was found on the Btreet last evening and during a conversation in regard to base ball matters, spoke in substance as follows: "I am completely disgusted with playing ball with the Terre Hautes, and if I was to be given my release would not feel bad in the least. The truth of the matter is that I have no heart to play ball. In this I am not the only one, for nearly all the members have the same feeling. To be candid, we have no manager, for the directors are all managers. They expect a man to play ball and not made a single error, and when he does they heap blame upon bim and speak in very uncompiimentanr language of him. These reports reach the players, and cause a great deal of unpleasantness. When a mar does his utmost to make a play, and fails, they blame him for not making it. Everyone makes errors, bat even if they do, it is not the duty of any one to criticise when the player has done bis best. No one dislikes an error any more than the player himself, ana when he knows remarks are being made about him it only serves to confuse bim more." __—_

Hill will probably be here for today's game. What is the matter with Myers He

WAB DECLARED.

Mrs. Sheet* Commence* Suit to Beoorer Possession of Her 4» Child. '.-4«

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Alice H. Sheets commenced suit against Michael Moses Joab, George Columbus Joab, and Meda Joah to recover possession of her child. Mrs. Sheets alleges that she believes that the child, Abert Joab, aged two years, which was taken from her by force"by the said Michael Moses Joab, is now in the possession of George Columbus and Meda Joal, where he took it after taking it from her. As stated in yesterday's Express, Mrs. Sheets means fight. She said she wonld fight, and war has been declared. Mrs. Sheets stated to an Express reporter, that if Joab fought the suit to recover the child, she will sue him for damageq for the injuries she sustained when he kicked her against the buggy wheel and then ran against her with his buggy and fractured two of her ribs. So it will be seen that Michael Moses will have to carry himself straight, or he will be loaded down with law suits.

Had Heard of It.

As an Express reporter was talking to Mrs. Sheets, Friday evening, she told a story of the doctor she called to attend her. The physician came and examined her. She did not tell him how she received her injuries, until after he told her that two of her ribs were fractured. She then told him the whole story, showed him a copy of the Express giving an account of the affair, and also a copy of the paper giving an account of Michael Moses' suit for criminal libel. "I know the Terre Haute bar." said he, "I know it, and know it to my sorrow. It is known far and near, and it smells to heaven. My prayers will be with the Express in its endeavors to purify it." 4 "Wall Street." yesterday's Gazette.

By common acceptance Ohio street, in the vicinity of the courts has been denominated "Wall street" and when court commences next Monday the short square betweenThirdand Fourth will be as lively, as far as business is concerned, as any other in the city. Wall street has enjoyed a bad name. People fear the law and the street whereon it is dispensed, or where it is dispensed with, as a wag says, is not regarded as a pleasant or agreeable thoroughfare. The lawyers aU find that those of the profession who have their offices nearest the courts are likely to get the most business. That is, of course, most natural, for legal business must drift down that way sometime or other, and generally people who have business of that sort make straight' for Wall street. Only recently an attorney who has his office up near Sixth street, was found hunting a vacant office on Wall street, a thing, by the way, which is very hard to find.

AS UNTIMELY DEATH.

A Sweet, nicy and Plnmp Pallet, Fearing That She Would Be Devoured, Ends Her Life in a Reckless Manner.

In the barn yard of a citizen in the north part of town, is a fine brood of chickens. One of them, a young, fat and plump pullet, overheard the cook talking, the other day, about conference, how many preachers would be in the city, and how many would receive Brother Sirith's well-known hospitality. "I am afraid," said the cook, to herself (but in atone loud enough to be heard by the fowls in the barnyard), "that when the preachers come nearly all of that fine brood of chickens will be sacrificed. They are so fat, so plump, so juicy, that the preacher who eats one of them will be a lucky mortal. And that sweet little pullet, how I pity her! Wonder if she knows the fate in store for her!"

The pnllct overheard the cock's soliloquy, and was much troubled. She had often been told by the mother hen that a pullet's mission is life was to lay little yellow eggs during the first and only year of her pulletbood, and the next year, and for all years to come, raise broods of chickens. When this kind of teaching is taken into conBidation, it is no wonder the pullet's heart young and tender, was sorely troubled. She imparted her fears to her grandfather, an ancient cock, whose comb was frozen off by the frosts of many winters, and whose spurs were broken in his innumtrable conflicts with the turkey cock. "Tut, tut, grand-daughter," said the old cock, "when you become old and tough like me, you will pay no attention to such stories."

But the pullet would not be comforted, for had she not heard the cook's decree. It preyed on her mind so much that she became very reckless, and seeing a late in the season June bug on a low hanging branch of a tree, she flew up after it, and in coming down caught her slender neck in the fork of a limb, was held there till her innocent life departed. She was found several hours afterwards by the cook, cold and stiff in death.

MORAL:

Never listen to the stories

of the cook. Our Colored People. Mrs. Robert Johnson is suffering from a very sore foot.

We are onto Hawk-eye. We see his feathers every day coming from the east. He is a good one.

The quartette by Messrs. Johnson, Brown, Anderson and Rouse, at the fair ground, was as fine as could be.

Ernest Meyzeek failed to address tbe crowd. It was of course such a crowd that the fair grounds were too large.

Among our last week's arrivals were Bland Miller and lady, of Paris Hanibal Davis, of Charleston, and Joseph Wetberspone, of Brazil.

Two certain young men had a trifling quarrel Mid fight this week. Through respect for their parents, we withhold their names.

We hope to see the Rev. J. H. Clay enforce every law pertaining to the church duties and which is involved upon every member of the church.

Henry McCallister and J. Dabbs are to be congratulated upon their shrewd management. Althoutch the picnic was not a success they are faultless.

By order of the pastor of the A. M. E. church, tbe Rev. J. H. Clay, tbe official board will meet, and business of importance will be attended to, on Monday evening. ,rv. BAUD B,

THE OUTLOOK.

What ia Shown by a Review of the Market and Crop Reports.

New York, September 1.—The Financial Chronicle says: But aside from stocks and Wall street ways and management, there seems nothing else that really ought to discourage one in the general outlook. On the contrary, we are inclined rather to take an increasing favorable view of the agricul tural and commercial situation. To be sure the reports coming from the cotton districts are just now very unpromising, but it must be remembered that tUis is always the case about September 1. Besides, even if we should lose half a million bales from our seven million this year, of course it would be a loss, but it would still leave enough for the world's consumption, without trenching at all on old stooks, and probably prices would be a little less flimsy, so that the loss in quantity exported would be made good to the country in dollars received. The commercial situation shows improvement. Buyers from the west and south are multiplying, goods are selling rapidly, and although the margin for profitis small, it will require but little increase in demand to stiffen prices. If it does not come in that way, however, prudence will dictate to manufacturers to curtail production until they have to force less of their goods into consumption through the auction rooms.

The latest reports regarding the condition of European crops indicate that there will be a very large deficiency, requiring increasod supplies from foreign countries. As an inevitable result, these supplies must be pa:d for largely with gold, and as Great Britain is the clearing houseof the world, and, further, as the greatest deficiency of wheat is in England, London has been preparing for the drain, and has had to put the screws on commerce all summer to do it. The accumulations have, therefore, been very considerable, and now the bank of England holds over £2,000,000 more than at this time last year, and is gaining weekly.

Our money market shows some indications of hardening in the rates, call loans averaging for the week about 2£ per cent. There is also inquiry for time money at about 6 per cent, for ninety days on stock collaterals. But we stated last week, there are good reasons for believing that money will not be very active for the remainder of the year. The treasury is in a position to make liberal disbursements, the reserves rapidly accumulating, and there remaining about $24,000,000 of called bonds to be redeemed, at the rate of $5,000,000 weekly, if presented between this and November 1st, even if no further calls are made and parment anticipated. Then, again, the demand for money is not likely to be so urgent as it has been for the past seasons. The harvest is late, speculation in breadstuff's is stagnant, the grain centers are full and there is no particular desire by speculators or middlemen to urge the mgrketing of yroduce, at least for the present. A comparison of prices of stocks and and staples a year ago with those now ruling shows an enormous shrinkage, and, therefore, even if speculation were active, less money would be required to carry it on but as it is dull, and pretty sure to continue so, there will be less employment for funds than usuol. Besides, confidence in the future being unsettled, capital, as already stated, is accumulating at the chief centers, and while not absolutely idle, those controlling it are satisfied with very small returns, so long as the security is ample. Our city banks had last Saturday about $6,000,000 more cash, and $8,000,000 more reserve than they bad a year ago, and if the demand is no greater than it was in 1882 at this season, the inquiry for crop purposes will be satisfied this year without exhausting the surplus.

SEQUEL OF THE STRIKE.

Blaster Workman la vert Discharged In Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA,

September 1.—Mas

ter workman Laverty has been discharged from his position as one of the operating staff of the Associated Press in this city. This is one of the sequels of the late strike, and one of the most significant ones. By the terms of the contract the Associated Press is compelled to discharge any operator who is objectionable to the company.

A demand appears to have been made from New York by the Western Union that Mr. Laverty should be dismissed. and he was forthwith noti3ed that his services were no longer required. "I anticipated this action," Mr. Laverty says. "It was forced upon the Associated Pre:s people, I am not sure that the Western Union company go so far in their assertion of dictatorial powers as to claim that any man connected with the association who is objectionable must be discharged if they demand it, but they might in case they thought necessary ever to go so far. The Western Union practically does as it pleases in Associated Press matters. I have no doubt but that the telegraphers will form another association, but I don't believe there will be any more strikes, at least for several years. "The Operator's association can do more with the companies without threatening to go out than by making the strike an ultimatum. This opinion I have held all along it was only because the great body of the brotherhood decided to go outat the last strike that I went with them, although I was opposed to such a course from the start."

Tlie Evidence all in.

GALLATIN', MO.,

September 1.—The

state named the witnesses in rebuttal, in the Frank James trial. S. T. Brosms, attorney and witness for the defense who was on the train, was recalled and numerous witnesses were then introduced who impeached his testimony. Mrs. Sarah Hite testified that there was a physical resemblance between Wood Hite and Frank James. Silas Morris testified that Wood Hite was not as tall as Frank James and bore little resemblance to him. Major J. II. McGee who was on the train at Winston was put on the stand, but his evidence was not material. This closed the case and the court adjourned until Monday, when arguments *ill commence.

Want to Lcnrii How to Fish. LONDON,

September 1.—The circular

sent to British seaports by the executive committee of the international fisheries exhibition, recommending that the American method of catching mackerel and herring be shown the coast population, strongly suggests that an American fishing schooner be hired to come to Great Britain, visit all the principal centers of the drift net fisheries for the purpose of demonstrating to English fishermen the mode of working the purse-seine net and its great effectiveness. The circular suggests that the expenses of the experiment be borne by the exhibition committee.

To Utilise Niagara's Current. BUFFALO,

September 1.—E. Baker, a

Boston engineer and inventor of the current motor power in use on Charles river, has been investigating the current of Niagara with a view of utilizing the immense water power going to waste at our door. The current is nine miles an hour at the inlet pier, and Baker is confident he can produce 500,000 horse power by the employment of an eighteen-foot wheel upon the principle of a propeller. The scheme can be worked upon an expenditures of $250,000, he is confident, and he is backed in his views by the engineer of an electric light company of Boston. The project awakens much favorable discussion.

Serious Fire on Long Island. HUNTER'S POINT,

An AITccting Scene.

London Truth.

When the curtain fell on the last performance of "Parsifal," at Bayreuth, which, on the 30th, brought the celebration month to a close, the enthusiasm of the audience found full vent in applause. Tlie curtain was lifted, but no calls would induce the performers to appear a second time or receive any individual homage. This is entirely in accordance with the tone of these exceptional representations. On efich occasion the only applause permitted has been at the end of ihe drama, and throughout not a single actor has answered to a call or received any personal tribute. Behind the scenes their occurred a touching incident. The Banker Gross led-Wagner's children up to the assembled actors and in the name of their dead father thanked the assembly for the care and labor of love expended by each and all in producing the last work of the great master. Siegfred, Wagner's son, then, in a few simple words, stifled with sobs, thanked the actors personally and all the children shook hands with them. Tne financial results of the month being highly satisfactory, a surplus in hand was declared and the committee decided to repeat the performance next year.

There will be a nice little wedding and a nice newly built house, to be occupied by the happy couple when it takes place shortly in the south end. The groom is a well known Main street merchant.

John Schultx, a boarding house keeper on Lafayette street, had a fight with one of his boarders, last evening. He was arrested, but gave bond for his appearance to morrow morning.

sons climbed the surrounding mountains for the purpose of taking photographic views from their summits. Of late this enterprising and daring artist has added anew feature to his professional activity, consisting in instantaneous photographs of the animal world inhabiting the higher regions of the forests and mountains. His method of taking them is a most original one. He puts up his apparatus at a place much frequented by game, adjusts it nicely and connects it by wires with an electric battery stationed probably from three to five miles of!, but still within the scope of a strong telescope with which he can watch the approach of game. The moment he espies his chance he touches a button, which causes the electric wire to work on the far-off apparatus in such away as to give him an instantaneous impression. The noise made by the dropping of an ingeniously arranged slide causes the animals to look up, thereby securing a vivid and striking negative, which he forthwith sets out to take home and prepare. His photos are all the rage at the present time.

From Heel to Shoulder. W. T. Beard, gunsmith, of Salt Lake, had apiece of a needle extracted from his shoulder. For several days he had felt an itching sensation in that locality, and had gone to the trouble of changing his clothes several times, thinking it was something in the fabric that caused the trouble. He had a gentleman examine the place causing a the trouble, and in running bis finger over the surface he felt the needle. Getting a pair of pliers he extracted it, and Mr. Beard takes pleasure in showing the steel and in giving its history. Eleven years ago he step- .-1 ped on a needle, which was Droken off a and he experienced no trouble from it until last winter, when he felt a iain in his hip and applied to a physician, supposing it was rheumatism, but he is $ now satisfied that the needle in its up-

ward passage had only reached that point at that time. The needle taken from his shoulder is five-eighths of an inch in length and perfectly bright. #3.-
