FLOWERS FOR MEMORIAL DAY.-Mr Editor:
Owing to the latenesS of the season it is feared
that there will be scarcity of flowers for
Memorial day 1t is therefore earnestly re-
quested that all our citizens should do what they
eau towards contributing for this occasion. Our
common wild flowers are as beautiful as they
are appropriate, and can he obtained by all who
desire to furnish floral offerings to our heroic
dead. Let no one be deferred from furnishing
even the most common flowers, as all flowers
are beautiful. Those who cannot get flowers
can at least make wreaths of evergreen, which
will add greatly to the beauty of the decoration
To assist in the work bouquets already made up
are especially desired. Where this cannot be
done, it win be of advantage TO have the diff
fercnt kinds lied in separate punches. Contri-
buttons will be received at Washburn hall from
till O'Clock on Thursday morning, and all
who can spare an hour or two on that morning
are cordially invited to be present at the hall to
assist in arranging bouquets. .WreathS and bou-
quetS designed for special graves will be placed
as desired, if the name is marked upon them.

MEETING OF THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
A special meeting of the Worcester agricultural
society was held at Natural History hall, yes
terday morning, called for the purpose of con-
sidering in what manner the sewer assessment
of 1892 on the property of the society is to be
paid. After some discussion the matter was
referred to the committee on grounds the presi
dent being added to the committee A vote was
passed instructiug the treasurer, under the adj
vice of the subcommittee on finance, of tue com
mittee of arrangements, to borrow such sums
of money as may be needed to pay the bills
already due, and such others as may accrue
previous to the annual exhibition. The matter
of the introduction of city water to the grounds
Of the society was discussed. 1t appeared that
the present water facilities at the grounds arc
inadequate, aud that the city pipes in Highland
street are now laid to the grounds, so that water
can be introduced at a light expense. The com
mittee on grounds was instructed to introduce
water previous to the fall exhibition, The So
cety also voted to join the National trotting as
soclaion, as by this action all trots on the track
will be subject to the rules of the association,
which tend to secure honest trottng.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-Yesterday afternoon
the special committee appointed by the general
conference TO investigate the charges against
the Methodist book concern held meeting, at
which reports of subcommittee were present
ed. The chairman of the subcommittee to in
vestigate the affairs of the bindery department,
reported that the accounts were in most dis
graceful state. In one case there was blunder
of 100000 against the biudery made in footing
up column. 1t is said that Hoffman concealed
this by carrying over $4,000 from the previous
year, and putting in $4,000, which appears to
have come from nowhere in particular No state
ment can found showing that a balance sheet has
been taken for 90 years. There are many things
in the accounts unexplained. The reports made
to the annual conference were not made from
the ledger, nor did that correspond with the
other books. Judge Cooley, chairman OF the
subcommittee on leather, reported that the
question had been submitted TO three master
binders as to the amount of leather required TO
produce the amount OF flushed work turned out
by the book concern in twenty-one months, and
an average estimate placed it more than S2S 600
less than Hoffman charged the concern. TWAS
also shown that Hoffman had been in the habit
of selling the leather of the concern to different
parties. There was a discrepancy between the
amount of money Hoffman drew as wages for
his employees and the amount be paid them.
DIR. Carlton, senior agent, who was present,
explained that he had relied implicitly upon the
honesty Of Hoffman, and il he was dishonest he
(Carton) was not responsible.
After the reception Of the reports of the sub
committees the committee went into secret ses-

FATAL AFFAIR IN LANCAsTER.-Thurs1 lay
forenoon last, between nine and ten O'Clock, a
young man named Gilbert Wilcox, and young
colored man named James Edwards, in the EN-
ploy of Charles l.. Wilder, Esq, at Lancaster
Centre, who were repairing fence on the Boil
ton road, near the river, were accosted by two
fellows, apparently lrishmen, whose names are
not ascertained, employed upon the new rail-
road, and in an intoxicated condition. One of
them, the smallest of the two rot over the
fence, and told Edwards that he "would knock
some of the black out of him." The larger
Irishmen tried to get his comrade to come
back into the road, but without avail.
At last he too Jumped over the fence, and put
ting his hand in his vest pocket told Edwards
he would settle the matter with him. Edwards
told him to "shoOt if he wanted to-" whereupon
the big fellow took his hand out of his pocket,
partially pulled up his sleeves, and asked Ed
wards "ii he was Il fighting man." The colorcd
man told him to Ego in" and try it, The Irish
man then struck at the cOlored man. The latter
parrying off the blow, struck his assaiant in the
face; both clinChcd, and after coming in contact
with the fence, fell, the colored man hay
ing the big fellow down under him.
Upon this the smaller Irishman began
throwing stoues, one of which struck
Edwards upon the head, INJECTING some
injury, after which the one who threw the stone
fed. Edwards then got up and was going
back to pick up his cap, when his antagonist
started after him apparently with the intention
OF attacking him again, whereupon Edwards
seized hold of an old post which lay upon the
ground and struck him with it, first upon his
back and then upon the back of his head,
knocking him down, and hit him again after he
had fallen, across the side of his face with the
stick. Edwards and Wilcox, the latter being
merely spectator of the affair, then left the
man upon the ground, and proceeded on with
their work.
The injured man was soon after taken to his
boarding place in Bolton he was in full posses
sion OF his senses at the time, and spoke freely,
complaining of soreness in his head and neck.
He was bleeding in two OF three places. No
physician was called, it is stated until Satur-
day, when DR.. F. II. Thompson of Lancaster
was sent for but it was then too late for medi.
cal service to be of avail, and the sufferer lin
gered till twelve O'Clock Sunday night, when
he died.
Coroner Field Of Clinton summoned jury of
inquest over the body on Monday, but in order
to obtain more important testimony, the inquest
was adjourned for one week.
The general feeling seems to be that the I'M
fortunate man with his cOmpanion,) was the
assaiing party, and that the colored man was
acting in self defense Both Edwards and Will
cox are steady, peaceable and respectable
young men, their version of the affair being
what is stated above. The verdict of the coro-
ner's jury, which will state the true facts of the
case, will be awaited with great interest

LONDON, May 2s.-The debate initbe house Of
commons last night on the supplemental arti-
Gle to the treaty of Washington, and the reply of
Mr. Gladstone to the questions of Disraeli rela-
tive thereto form the subject of leading editorial
articles in London morning Journals. The an
swer of Mr.. Gladstone is regarded as uusatisfac-
tory, as it adds nothing to the information al
ready obtained upon the subject.
In the house of commons this evening, Glad
stone replied very briefly to the question put
last night by Disraeli and Horsman, concerning
the supplemental article. He made no state
mcnt of importance, and added nothing to the
information already possessed by the public on
the subject.
A lively sensation was created in the house
this morning by a bold protest from Tom
Hughes against horse racing and the usual adj
Journment of parliament for the Derby day,
which occurs tomorrow.
Mr.. Gladstone moved that the house adjourn
until Thursday. Hughes rising to oppose the
motion, was received with ironical cheers and
laughter. He pointed to the fact that the house
adjourn only two hours on ascension day for
divine worship, and now proposed to adjourn
twenty-fOur hours for the Derby 1t was in"om-
patble with the dignity OF the commons
to recognize horse racing. The English race
courses had introduced the most corrupt and in
sduous system of gambling which had ever
disgraced any country. While he was opposed
TO this species of amusement, he believed in
manly sports, like international boat races,
cricket and other salutary competitions of
human strength and pluck, and thought they
should be encouraged
The motion for adjournment was carried, 212
