Terrible ReIigio Massacre IN
Mexico.

NEW YORK, March 2l.-A Herahi
Acapulco correspondent gives the details
of n terrible religious massacrce in that
town, on the night of January 18th. Rev.
Mr.. Hutchinson. pastor of the Presbytc-
rian congregation OF the City Of Mexico,
was invited to Acapulco last year, by Il
lawyer named Procopis Dias and Others,
| to organize new congregation, the
nucleus of which had already existed for
nearly year Finding no suitable substl-
! tute, Hutchinson came down in DeCem-
! Der and took temporary charge of the
new church. About ninety persons found
it desirous of embracing the new doctrine,
and an old vacant Catholic church was
rented, and on the oath of January was
opened in due form. Hutchinson preach
ing twice that day. During the previous
months threats had been thrown out by
the headherents of Catholicism against their
religious opponents. The former claims
to have been systematically insulted by
the Protestants, who had small news
paper organ. The latter energetically
deny doing anything more than fairly
discussing sectarian dogmas. A prayer
meeting was held by Hutchinson on the
evening of the twenty. fifth, and simil.
ar gathering was agreed on for the fol-
! lowing evening. This meeting was held,
but Hutchinson being i'll, was unable to
be present. The Protestant Church has
only two doors, both opening on the
street, one was closed, and the other one,
| that was nearer to town, open. In front
| of the door, between it and the steeet,
an outrageous tree grows. Under the
shade of this tree, and at either side of
the door, watching the proceedings
within the Church, the assassins,
numbering some thirty-fve or
forty. men took their stand. Procopio
DisZ had addressed the Congregation in
the place of the absent minister, and they
were singing a hymn, when eight or ten
of the cutthroats outside, entered and di-
viding among themselves, occupied star ds
near either side of the pulpit, and with
out any sign of warning whatever, these
incarnutc devils barred their murderou>
machetes, and commenced an indiscrim-
mate slaughter of the peaceful inmates Of

of his men. marked out Diaz as their spe-
cial victim. A couple Of machete blows
were aimed ut his head. which, if he had
received in full force, must have termin-
ated his existence. As it happened he
had sufficient presence of mind
to dodge his head behind the pulpit, and
a portion Of the board was cut through
before the weapon reached its mark. He
drew his pistol and tried to fire, but the
assailants were too quick for HIM, and
the leader inflicted ghastly cash OIL the
pistol hand. While this was passing, the
heroic wife of Diaz picked up chair
and rushed upon one of her husbands :

wall and by main force, wrenchcd the

The Louisiana Resolution.

WAsHINGToN, March 2O.-The Demo-
cratic Senator's were in caucus this morn
ing and in anticipation Of the action of
the Republican majority, determined on
method Of opposing it. 1t was decided
to raise points OF order on the Louisiana
Resolution, and if overruled, to interpose
sundry dilatory motions, and thereafter
to debate it TO its fullest extent, so long
as any hope of defeating it should re-
main. Estimates of the extent to which
the session will be thus prolonged, will
vary from one to three weeks.
The Republican Senators agreed to re-
frain from discussing the caucus Louisi-
ana resolution in the Senate, and have
also determined to vote against any re-
cess or adjournment except over Sunday,
until the final vote shall have been taken.
This course will ensure the termination
of the session within five or six days, and
many persons think it will close by We'd
nesday.

(not trenches) about four feet apart, two
plants to the foot. Plant cucumhers in
rows four feet apart, and four or five
seeds to the foot, not letting more than
one plant remain to each foot in the row.
Plant melons and squashes same as Gu

Tomato seed should be sown under
glass early or outdoors as soon as frost

or still further advanced transplant in
rows three feet apart each way. Treat
peppers in the same way, only set them
two feet apart. Plant seed-corn in rows
three feet distant and two or three grains
to the foot. This crop should be plant
ed at intervals of about two weeks until
three or four paintings are made, so the
season of its usefulness may be well ex-
tended. Late cabbage seed should be

either in rows fifteen inches distant and
a dozen seeds to the foot, or broadcast

Iron and Hardware.
[From Chicago Tribune of March %. ]


b Iron and hardware in the endless divisions
and subdivisions Of merchandise included in
the terms constitute a great. feature of COM
merce in every manufacturing or mercantile
district, and in Chicago the business OF this
department has come TO reach high figures.
A visit to almost any one of the several large
houses reveals a general condition OF active
preparation for a busy season.. 4. ID. kimbark,
successor to the firm Of Kinibark Bros. u Co,
who issperhaps most widely and generally re-
lated to the iron and heavy hardware trade, and
who is regarded as a general Western author
ity in matters and statistics pertaining TO that
interest, when Interviewed by a 7iSbsne rep
resentative yesterday, candidly referred to the
depression in the outside manufacturing In
dlstry as the most conspicuous feature in the
records OF the year, but reasoned In way TO
apply effects on a national rather than local
scale. ~ The business OF the great house on
Michigan avenue Of which Mr.. Kimbark is
the head, dating back quarter OF a century,
entering somewhat largely into the history Of
the commerce Of the city, has attained sta
bility and uniformity by simple magnitude
fected to any noticeable degree by the ordi-
nary vicissitudes Of the markets. Its claimed
that to the operations of this house is due the
acquisition of considerable Of the original ter
ritory Of trade now constituting the common
ground of the commerce OF Chicago, includ-
ing the Salt Lake district, and rcmoter nelos
to the West and South which were trayersed
by its agents, and made accessory TO the
business of the city, long before any buffalo,
or Indian, or, other native Of these fertile
but unchristian lands had ever been scared
by the Whistle Of a locomotive. And when
IL is remembered that for twenty years the
house has constituted sort Of steady GEN.
ter of distribution Of iron and hardware sup
plies for manufacturers, wagon makers,
blacksmiths and merchants throughout the
entire dominion Of Western commerce, with
5000 permanent names on the books OF the
firm, and sales aggregating as high as
81, 100000 year, it Is reasonable 10 suppose
that il would require something more than
the temporary depression In the manufactur-
ing industry to perceptlbly affect the uniform
volume and course Of business. The estab.
lishment itself Is one OF the mercantile curl
ositles and solid attractions of the city---a
center of very great interest to intelligent
visitors generally as web as TO special
community Of mechanics, man1fact urers and
dealers-and may be properly designated az
perpetual industrial exposition OF iron,
steel, nails, carriage and heavy hardware,
blacksmiths' outfits and wagon wood ma
terial, each class tied department. and every
broad floor OF the lofty building affording q
display in enormous bulk more calculated
TO surprise and interest the imagination OF O
wagon maker, iron mechanic or dealer than
