was an infringement by the Pan-electric tele* . phone on the National improvement. This latter company is a small company, founded on J. H. Rogers's earlier patents. Blr. Rogers, the inventor, was present when Mr. Young made the statement. He became very much excited. He at once exclaimed: “You convinced! Why, after I bad explained the telephone to you for a week you acknowledged that you did not know a receiver from a transmitter.” This made Colonel Casey Young angry. He turned upon Rogers and made some very sharp remark, whereupon, young Rogers called out: “You are a fool.” At this, Colonel Casey Young struck at Rogers, ’when the latter promptly knocked down the secretary of the Pan-electric Telephone Company. Great confusion ensued. The two gentlemen were separated, and at the suggestion of Indian Commissioner Atkins a committee was appointed to settle the nuarrel. General Joseph Johnston and Senator Harris were appointed. They found that young Rogers was too hasty, and should shake hands And make up. This was done amid profound silence. Then Dr. J. W. Rogers, the father of the inventor, offered a resolution contradicting the Statement wherein it was alleged that the patents of the ran electric Telephone Company were infringements of the National Improvement Company. Senator Harris objected. When this resolution was rejected the two Rogerses withdrew in indignation. They were followed to the door by the officials connected with the Pan-electric Telephone Company, who begged them not to mention & word of what occurred. Dr. Rogers replied: “This is a public meeting. and the instincts of gentlemen must guide us.” He went off and gave the information to the newspapers. MINOR MATTERS.

GEEAT BILLIABD PLAYING. Brilliant Termination of the Match Between Schaefer and Vignanx. The Frenchman Defeated by 162 Point3 in a Total of 3.000—A Display of Marvelous Skill in Last Night’s Playing. r From Our Second Edition oj Sunday.} New York, Jan. 30.—The billiard match between Schaefer and Vignaux, which has been in progress for the past five nights, was ended tonight. Five thousand dollars was the stake for which the men played, and either was obliged to make 3,000 points to win. The attendance at each session has been such that the result, financially, must be satisfactory to the management Cosmopolitan Hail is a large place, and it has been filled and the seats increased every successsive evening. To-night the ampitheater of seats was yet further enlarged, and so were the prices of admission, which from fifty cents and $1 were increased to $1 and $2. When the doors were opened, people began to enter, and at 7:30 nearly all the seats were occupied. Vignaux had evidently increased the interest by his lead of sixty-three points over Schaefer. The score at the commencement of the game stood: Vignaux, 2,400; Schaefer, 2,337. Five minutes after 8, Vignaux, referee McCreery, of St Louis, and Schaeler entered the arena together. The balls were carefully weighed, and other preliminaries arranged, and at 8:20 o’clock the balls were placed in position as left on Friday evening, and Vignaux began his play. The balls were in the upper righthand corner, the spot bail (Vignaux’s) in the center. The first shot was a draw, and counted. Other shots followed in rapid succession, and the eighteenth was a fine masse. He counted 26 points before Schaefer had a chance to play. No sooner had Schaefer made one than the galleries cheered and evidently endeavored in every way to harass and annoy Vignaux. Schaefer made 17 and stopped, and when Vignaux, in preparing for his shot, fouled the balk with his sleeve, there were further manifestations of delight from the gallery. Schaefer only made 4, however, from his opponent's misfortune, and Vignaux was cordially received when he advanced to play in his third inning, in which he made 15. The balls were left in a good position for Schaefer, who made 4 and slipped up on easy carom. Both players were evidently nervous, and played for safety. Runs of 3, 6 and 2, for Vignaux, and of 4, 1 and 0, for Schaefer, attested this fact. Then Schaefer got his balls as he wanted them, and played a series of masse shots until he had a score of 35 to his credit, the last being a pretty kiss shot from one side of the table to the other. Then he made another run stopping at his fifty ninth, for a moment to file the leather tip of his cue; then he went in and rolled the ivories froip side to side until 77 buttons were placed to his credit Vignaux then played and made 18, but missed an easy shot from the cushion, apparently more from nervousness than from any other reason. Schafer payed prettily for 26 points, including a handsome masse, and omitted to get the balls out of balk on the twenty-seventh shot, which he made, but which did not count. Vignaux caromed prettily in his ninth inning, sending the balls completely across the table, kissing and returning. When he had made 30 point?, the scores were even. This thought seemed to nerve Vignaux, and he made two bpautifur masse shots in rapid succession, and then a bank-shot, which excited a burst of approval, which was renewed when 50 was reached. At 55. a lovely bank shot against the lower right-hand corner put the balls in good position. Then followed a series of caroms from the table center, until the balls became frozen, on the seventy-fifth shot, out of which dilemma Vignaux cleverly extracated himself by a wellexecuted stroke. At 77 points he equaled Schaefer’s largest run for the evening, and was 47 points ahead on the total score. At the ninety seventh shot, an almost impossible carom from the cushion, with the object balls in the center of the table, was loudly applauded, and there was more applause when the 100 mark was reached and turned. This run netted 106 for Vignaux. He was now 13 points ahead in the play of the evening, and 76 ahead on the grand total. Schaefer, in his twelfth inning, by fine nursing, made 97, and Vignaux, in his fourteenth, made 35. At this time Schaefer was palpably very nervous. He wiped his hands frequently with a handkerchief, and fingered his cue nervously. When his turn to play came, however, the nervousness disappeared, and shot followed shot and ball followed ball around the table, until 31 points were added to his score. Then Vignaux had an inning, and improved his time to the tune of 13 additional points. He left the balls well apart, so far, in fact, that Schaefer was able to score but 2, but Schaefer left the balls so far apart that Vignaux did not score at all. Then the giants skirmished with each other, and made runs of 1 and 2 each, without counting at all. In his twentieth inning Schaefer made a pretty bank shot, caroming on the balls in the center. Afterwards, clean shots and caroms followed each other until 80 points were reached, when there was applause, renewed when 90 points nrere made, and when 100 were reached the house was fairly wild. No one shot of especial brilliancy had been made, but every one had been well and carefully made. On and on went the wizard, and point by point his score continued to roll up to 150, when plaudits again filled the air. He finally stopped with the comforting number of 168 points, all made by careful play. Things looked black for the Frenchman, and the score stood for the evening: Schaefer, 530; Vignanx, 268.

Then the latter had a show and imitated the tactics of his opponent by nursing. At times the balls would get separated, but brilliant off-hand shots would bring them together. At fifty points the applause was loud and liberal; so it was on the sixty-sixth shot, when the red ball was forced around the table, and back into position for a set-up, A magnificent masses on the seventieth shot, with the halls against the upper rail, elicited shouts of admiration, and the perfection of the “english” with the balls direct in line cannot be described; also, a draw-shot across the table. Vignaux made ninety-four on the run. He followed this up with another run. When he had made 50 points there was applause, but he went on and made 66 points. Schaefer had made 168 in his run of the twentieth inning, while Vignaux, with his runs of 94 and 66, came within 6of that 9core. At 11 o’clock the score stood: Schaefer, 2,897; Vignaux, 2,832; but it was close work, and Schaefer forced the pace with runs of 31 and 35, while Vignaux made only 6 points. The Frenchman felt discouraged, and when Schaefer began what proved to be his last inning, his opponent watched with grim determination the rapidlydisappearing hope of victory. One by one Schaefer caused the ivory spheres to click together, amid the scarce-repressed excitement of the crowd. At 50 points the enthusiasm broke through, and when, with his 58 points. Schaefer completed one of the greatest and best games of billiards ever played, the spectators ran, climbed and jumped to where he stood. Schaefer had made 663 points on the night’s play, and Vignaux 438. Total score for the five nights: Schaefer, 3,000; Vignaux, 2,838. Following is the score of the night’s play: Schaefer—l 7, 4,4, 1, O, 35. 77, 26, 35, 1. O, 07. 1. 7, 31, 2,0, 2, 22, 168, 3, 0, 6, 31, 35, 58 —663.

Hungarian Strikers Prepare*! to Resist Eviction at the Hands of Operators. Jlt. Pleasant, Pa. Jan. 31.—Every Hungarian abiding place at the Booth, Moorewood and Standard coke works will to-morrow morning be a castle. Doors and windows will be barred, while within will stand resolute men ready to lay down their lives before seeing their wives and children thrown out into the snow, which is now drifting and blowing about their houses. The socialistic assemblages held a number of meetings to-day, but their proceedings are most jealously guarded. Yesterday the stores were crowded with foreigners preparing for the siege which they expect to open to-morrow. Long lines of men carrying bundles of provisions trudged homeward through the snow, carrying the provender, which was generally purchased by the females. On the operators’ side there have been numerous conclaves and private consultations to-day. When bluntly questioned as to the plan of procedure in evicting their tenants, the officials refused point blank to give any information. Discussing the Eight-Hour Movement, St. Louis, Jan. 31. —A well-attended meeting of working men was held at the Apollo Theater, this afternoon, at which tho eight-hour system was fully discussed in a quiet way, and resolutions were adopted in favor of putting the system into operation as speedily as possible. A resolution was also adopted indorsing the recent action of the cigar-makers in New York, and recommending that all cigars not bearing the union label be boycotted. Chicago, Jan. 31.—The Eight-hour Association of Chicago held a meeting to-day, at which a circular was drafted, appealing to the press and pulpit to sustain and aid the eight-hour movement. The appeal was accompanied with lengthy arguments in favor of the movement. At a rather mild and harmless meeting of Socialists, to-day, the eight-hour movement was condemned as a makeshift that would work no permanent good for the laboring class. Anti-Chinese Petitions. San Francisco, Jan 31.—District Assembly No. 53, Knights of Labor, this city, are circulating a petition on the Chinese question addressed to the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, which, in behalf of the State of California, requests Congress, either by legislation or change in the present treaty with China, to forever prohibit the further immigration of Chinese to the United States. The petition is already signed by Governor Stonoman, two ex-Governors of the State, and other State officials, mayors of the principal cities, Chief-justice of the Supreme Court, superior judges, and by municipal and federal officers generally. The Knights of Labor expect to obtain a quarter of a million signatures on the Pacific coast. Hour the Boycott Works. Troy, N. Y., Jan. 31.—An interesting feature of the struggle between the Knights of Labor and the Fuller & Warren Company was developed yesterday afternoon. There are seven freight cars on a side-track, loaded with Fuller & Warren stoves, consigned to various branches of the concern. The Delaware & Hudson locomotive engineers, who are members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Knights of Labor have refused to haul the cars because the goods contained in them are boycotted. Trouble is expected to grow out of the affair. If an engineer is discharged, all the others, it is said, will strike.

Here’s an Organization lor All of U. Boston, Jan. 31.—The eighteenth annual convention of the Now England Labor Reform League was held here to-day. Resolutione were adopted declaring all government robbery, trades unions repressive monopolies, Knights of Labor tyrannous pirates, silverites and goldites warring sets of thieves, rum and Mormonism representatives of personal religious liberty, and marriage, church and state all hindrances to progress. Heavy Damage by Flood. Stockton, Cal., Jan. 30.—The cross levee which separated the lower division of the Roberts island from the middle division gave way to day, allowing water to cover 35,000 acres of land, of which 13,000 acres were in wheat The levee which surrounds the island broke at the middle section several days ago and flooded the middle section, which comprised 12,000 acres of grain. This brought a heavy pressure of water against tho cross levee, which was being constantly strengthened, but, as it proved, without avail. Bloat of the inundated land is owned by the Glasgow California Land Company, made up of foreign capitalists. The entire loss is estimated at $600,000. A Desperate Prize-Fight. Boston, Jan. 31.—A long standing feud between Patrick Friel and John O'Rourke, two West-end middle-weights, which had threatened to end in a tragedy, was settled according to Loudon prize-ring rules, at a local sporting resort, at sa.m. to day. The fight was a fiendish exhibition. It lasted thirty minutes, at the end of which time both men were exhausted. Both were terribly punished. In the tenth round, O'Rourke fell upon Friel’s Drostrate form, and nearly crushed out what little life there was left in the body. Friel failing to come to time, the fight was given to O’Rourke, who also received a purse of SIOO. _ Damaging Sleet-Storm in the East. Concord, N. H., Jan. 31.—The storm, which subsided last night, had raged forty-eight hours and caused great, damage throughout the State. Reports received from some of the largest fruitgrowers in the State say that their orchards are ruined. Portsmouth, N. H., Jan. 31.—The damage done by the sleet-storm is unparalleled. The injury to garden and fruit trees is beyond calculation. Similar reports are received from other towns. _ Obituary. New Haven, Conn., Jan. 31.—Benjamin R. Hitchcock, who died in this city this morning, was one of the founders of the Palladium, and the Journal and Courier. He was born in Bethlehem, Conn., in 1806, removing to this city in 1825.

BEN HILL’S POLITICAL PROJECT. A Big Scheme Intended to Revolutionize Existing Party Lines. New York World. During the lifetime of Benjamin H. Hill, Colonel Frank A. Burr enjoyed an intimate acquaintance with him. “Ben Hill," said Colonel Burr yesterday, “was the originator of one of the biggest political projects ever attempted in this country. Soon after General Garfield was elected, Democrats, leading men like Hill, fearing that men of the Mahone stamp would get the upper hand, entered into an organization for the preservation of what they were pleased to call the better elements, North and South. The movement looked to revolutionizing all existing party lines. Hill wrote to General Garfield, broaching the subject. Garfield responded, asking for particulars as to the plan. They were given, and when Garfield came to Washington to take the oath of office there was a conference between the President-elect and the leading men of the South. An agreement was made then. In brief, the terms were something like this: The Southern gentlemen were to all sign their names to a circular acknowledging that the war was over, in fact, and that the results growing out of it were all accepted in good faith by the Southern people. They also recognized that we were one people, and that the Northern citizens had no desire to humilate their Southern brethren. All this was to be stated in a clear and diplomatic way. Then, the Southern statesmen agreed to accept the financial policy of the Republican party. For this General Garfield agreed to turn over the federal patronage in the South to the Southern Senators. The plan was approved by Blaine, and if it had been carried out it would have broken up the two existing pa rties of to-day. Garfield’s death nipped the project in the bud. It needed patronage to carry it out. “Senator Hill told me the story himself, when I met him in Philadelphia, where he was undergoing a surgical operation on his tongue. He said he would give me the correspondence between General Garfield and himself, as he thought it should be published. Well, he returned home to Georgia; a second operation was performed on his tongue, and shortly after he passed away. Just before his death, however, he wrote me a letter, saying that it: waa his wish that 1 should have this correspondence. After his death I wrote a note to Ben Hill, jr., inclosing his father’s ietter, and asked him to please forward the correspondence to me. The son replied, saying that he recognized bis father’s wish in tho matter, and would comply with my request if I insisted on it, but the family thought that the publication of the letters would arouse a useless controversy, and hoped I would not press the point, and I did not. “I can testify that the main point of the story is true,” said Bir. Frank Hatton, who was standing by. “When I went into the Postoffice Department," he continued, “I found that all the postoffice patronage in the South had been turned over to the Democrats. For instance, I found written across a Florida case, ‘Do nothing until you hear from Senator Call or Jones.’ It was the same in the other Southern States, but 1 am afraid I paid very little attention to these notes. I did not believe in building up the Republican party in that way.” Why Mayersville Galled for Troops. New Orleans, Jan. 31.—The Times Democrat’s Vicksburg special says: “In response to a telegram from Mayersville for assistance, Capt. Searles, with twenty two men, left here at 2 a. m. , and arrived at Mayersville at 10 o’clock, when the cause of this requisition for troops was as certained to be the apprehension that" certain colored citizens of that vicinity would seek to avenge the killing of Ebenezer Fowler, a well-known negro bar keeper, on Saturday evening, by the enraged citizens of that place. Fowler, who was a married man, about forty-five years old, of rather ungainly appearance, pushed his attentions upon white women whenever he could make it convenient to do so. Oil Saturday he wrote aud delivered a note to a married woman, whose husband was absent, making indecent proposals, and the lady delivered the note to her husband on his return. A meeting of citizens was called and a proposition made to tar and feather him, but it was decided to confront him with the lady herself, aud Fowler was arrested. He made an effort to wrest a pistol from the bands of one of his guards, when the*weapon was discharged, the ball just missing the mayor and burning his hand severely. This inflamed the crowd, who, without mercy, riddled Fowler with bullets. The excitement has now abated, and no apprehension of trouble exists."

An Old and Much-Used Bible. Washington Letter. The United States Supreme Court has a Bible which has been in constant use since 1808. It was printed at Oxford in 1799. On the fly-leaf is written: “United States Supreme Court, 1808." And every justice of the court and every attorney who has been admitted to practice before the bar since that date has been sworn upon that Bible. It is a small volume, and the binding shows the marks of frequent usage, particularly where tho fingers clutch it in administering and taking an oath. The Mau Who Talks. Philadelphia Record. The most terrible weapon of the American Socialist is his iaw-bone. He has the same variety of jaw-bone, too, with which Sampson did such execution among the Philistines. Blake no account of his dynamite, but when he waves his jaw-bone at you, seek shelter. Threw Herself Under a Locomotive.

It is thought she suddenly became insane. Boston’* Way of Bearing; Herself. Evening Transcript. The philosophy that holds that because we haven’t had a foreign war with a powerful nation for seventy years we shall never have one, is on a par with that of a man who reasoned that he should never die because he never had died.

TUB REWARD OP TOIL. Mrs. Robinson’s Evangelistic Services at Roberts'Park Church Yesterday. The services at Roberts Park Church yesterday began at 9 o’clock in the morning with a general class. At the close, the whole membership marched from the room below to the audience room above, singing “We Are Marching to Zion.” The morning service opened by singing the 679th hymn, “How firm a foundation,” followed with prayer by Dr. McConnell. The morning lesson was in the first chapter of James, beginning with the nineteenth versa, and the second chapter, beginning with the fourteenth verse: “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath,” etc. This did not mean slow to speak in class-meeting, nor slow to speak for right, but slow to speak in anger. The 574th hymn “A charge to keep I have,” followed, Mr. McConnell prefacing the reading of the hymn by saying: “This is the crowning morning of my religious experience. I feel like shouting from the depths of my heart” The text of the morning was Matt, xxii, 28. “Go work to-day in my vineyard.” Mrs. Robinson said: He that reads the first command that God gave the human family after the fall, “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread,” and sees an exhibition of wrath and anger, is wonderfully blind. God loved Adam and Eve with an intense love, and looked down the path their feet had entered, and saw that idleness and selfishness led out into the hardest and bitterest experiences of life; and, being so anxious to keep them out of the pathway of sin and remorse, he said. Not because of your sin, nor because of my anger, but because I love you, will I curse the ground and make the bramble and thorn to spring up, that by the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat thy bread. If you will study the path of life, you will find it is not to the idler that the blessings have come, but to the toiler, the earnest worker. The idler finds self disgust and enemies. Life'grows barren along the line of self-indulgence. The saddest calamity that can befall 9,999 out of every 10,000 young men is to inherit riches. Only one out of 10,000 is able to use inherited wealth wisely, It is the money you have earned that you Know how to take care of. There is an adage that says the world only respects the lily-white hands that have never known toil, which is untrue. .We, of the laboring class, are responsible for it. When pressure comes and we have to move into a home where rent is cheaper and have to deny our children pleasures, how often we vent our bitterness and say, “No one is respected but the inaa who is able to steal by the tens of thousands.” We let our ill-humor taint the children with a deadly untruth, and we know it is false, and yet that is the reason so many are investing in the bucket-shops and dealing in futures and margins, feeling that if they can only make so much money they will win respect If you sow that seed in the hearts of the young you will have to dig it out with endless remorse. The facts are, the world lays her honors at the feet of the toiline man. It is the hard workers that are winning the respect of it. It admits it is where the brain and a resolute will are intermarried. After giving a sketch of the life of George Stevenson, she continued, “and in the height of his victory he said, ‘I shall do more to send the gospel into heathen lands than all the missionaries,’ and refused the honor his grateful country would have bestowed, saying, T don’t want a title. In the comine ages the plain name of George Stevenson will be a greater crown than any the Queen of England can give me.’ Latta was never able to walk, owing to an accident received in childhood, and yet, animated with a desire to benefit his race, he perfected the steam fire-engine, saying, ‘I will save more lives than all of you,' and he did. it is the workingman, the toiliug woman, that lives not for self, but to do good that receives the honor in this world. No one disagrees with me up to this point, and yet there are thousands that come into church, and sit down to be carried up to heaven on flowery beds of ease. ‘Oh, beloved,’ God says, ‘go work in my vineyard.’ I can’t see why the fat, lazy, loathsome tramp, who comes to your door to be fed out of your hard earnings—I can’t see why the spiritual tramp is entitled to more respect than he. I have a great notion to show you how some people work [imitating a person in the act of half rising when called upon to testify for Jesus.] This is working for the Lord. How we caricature religion. Somebody says, I give my means. Very good, that is what you ought to do. Have you ever given beyond God's limit? Beyond one tenth of your possessions? Some will give 50 cents on Saturday night to the devil’s church and 10 cents on Sunday morning to the Lord. ‘Oh,’ but they say,* 'the deyil takes his at the door and we can’t get in without it,’ and they gladly give him 50 cents and to God’s work only ten. We can never pay Him for what He has done for us. Some are timid and afraid they will do more harm than good, but when He leads we can trust Him. He has promised to take our work and so fill it with himself that it will be Christ's message. The carpet-weaver weaves his gorgeous patterns without once seeing the result until the piece is finished and taken from the loom. God don’t dare to trust you with a sight of the work you are doing. If He should let you see it, you would get vainglorious, but in the glory-land you will see what you are doing. Don’t worry about results; let God take care of the results. You are robbing yourself when you refuse to do anythiug for Jesus. You will find more enjoyment in working for Jesus than in all the progressive euchre parties, and more pleasure in doing his will than in any theater. Jesus needs our work. I say it .reverently. God’s plan of reaching souls is through human instrumentality. Conversion sets you to work and you can’t keep from it. There is no word lost He needs tongues and lips to persuade the world just as much as He did in Judea. Will you let Him have yours? They nailed his hands to the tree, but. glory to God, they were resurrected and are before the throne with your name on them and stretched out pleadiug for you, and He needs hands to bring in sinners. Will you let Him have yours? He had over thornsand stones to carry the message of salvation. They were resurrected, and to-day those feet stand before the throne bearing the marks of your sin. He needs your feet to go upon His errands. Will you lend them to Him? He says,)‘Give me your brain and lend me yourself.’ God help you to say, I will. Some say, I will work quietly among those I know, but I will not speak to those I have not been introduced to. Are you going to be a respecter of persons when God’s love is so free? You may sing like angels; you may pray like saints; but you will never climb into Heaven over the dead bodies of those you could have saved, but didn’t. lam intensely ambitious—not to be eloquent nor learned—but to have Jesus say, when I pass through the pearly gates, ‘She hath done what she could.’ It will bej the sweetest music of all eternity. Are you willing to join me?” The services at 3 o’clock were well attended and full of power. At night an immense audience was present, hundreds being unable to gain admittance. Mrs. Robinson preached and directed the revival exercises. They were full of power,-and a hundred rose for prayers. The total conversions to date number 265 and accessions over 100. The meetings will continue to-night and tomorrow night, and possibly through thjjfetveek, if the interest warrants it.

Seventh Presbyterian Church. The services at the Seventh Presbyterian Church yesterday, both morning and evening, were of deep and unusual interest In the morning the communion of the Lord's supper was celebrated, and sixty-eight persons were received into the membership of the church. 1 hese converts were the gracious fruits of a four weeks’ special service which has • been conducted by the pastor Rev R V Hunter. In no church in the city has there been a more thorough and successfui work, and both pastor and people are rightfully and righteously encouraged In the evem °*- S? m th ® the church was crowded, there not being sitting room for the audience.
