4 Business Meeting Of the z. ID. G. A.

4 Business Meetlngg OF the Y.-M u. A.
Tuesday night a business meeting of the
Y. NJ. g. A. was held at it's rooms, at
which about a dozen members were pres
ent, presided over by President Hamilton.
H REJECTED ADDRESSES.
The President called attention to the
fact that the proposition made to the col
oresE churches to aid in instructing their
Sabbath school teachers was the unfinished
business before the meeting.
Col Skinner said he had heard no final
report from the committee appointed to
confer with the colored churches, but he
had seen in the papers a resolution adop-
ted by the latter declining for the present
to form classes for instruction. He rec
| ollec1ed that at one time MI. J. Emmett
Guy had gotten together quite a gather
ing of colored persons to receive religious
instruction and had only discontinued it
because he could not give his further at
tention to their teaching. The speaker
thought it might be as well for members of
the association to try something like this
again, in view of the colored people declin-
ing to formally organize classes.
Mr.. R. M. Guy said he had heard Mr..
Guy say that he had been very recently
approached by a pastor of a colored church
to recommence the same work.
On motion of Col. Skinner it was re-
solved to continue the committee of con-
ference.
H STATE SECRETARY.
Mr.. w. j. Nelson, from the committee
to solicit subscriptions to raise the appor-
tionment quota of a State Secretary's
salary reported that the sum of 500 had
been subscribed. The Secretary was re-
Quested to inform the Richmond Associa-
lion that this sum Tor its proportionate
share Of the 81, 200 salary would be con-
tributed to the payment of a State Secre-
tary by the Staunton Association when the
other Associations similarly pledged them
selves. e
J DONATIONS.
Col. Skinner of the Library committee,
informed the association that Misses Bald
win and McClung Of the Augusta Female
Seminary had donated their check of $50 to
the Association for the enlargement of the
library. A resolution of thanks was adopt
ed and the sum placed at the disposal of
the Library committee.
Accommodation Was received from Mr..
Jos. 3. Woodward, Secretary of the Staun-
ton Debating Society, inclosing a check
for $40 which that organization sent the
Association as d donation. A resolution
OF thanks WIS adopted and the sum placed
at the disposal of the Executive commit
tee.
LIFE MEMBERS.
Col. Skinner gave notice of his intention
to offer al amendment to the constitution,
raising the price of life membership from
$40 TO $50, the latter sum at 6 per cent. be-
ing equal to the So now paid yearly by
members. He said that when the first life
membership was fixed the Association had
no library to speak of and now it had a
most desirable one. He did not think life
members very desirable, for if one-half the
members became life members now, the
money would be gone in two or three years
and there would be nowhere to raise funds
from.
After a resolution of thanks to MI. Jno.
L. Peyton for a contribution of six yol~
umes to the Library the Association ad-
Journed.

POSTAL aERYroE RRroRM.

The Nashville American COM
plains that its Eastern subscribers
home people who go away and
have the paper ordered sent to
them-rarely receive it on time.
We have noticed the same thing.
Everything is made subservient to
the great metropolitan dailies. All
possible pains are taken by postal
clerks to deliver these papers on
time at the West and South, but
our papers going East are tossed
about in the most careless and
irregular way. Let any one who
has gone East to the springs or to
a large city and ordered his local
paper for a month recall his expert
ence. This is no new thing, and
we only wonder that it has not been
complained of before. The Phila-
delphia Ledger, for instance, reaches
us by mail, and has for the last
ten years, almost as regular as the
rising Of the sun, but when we go
East we scarcely get the Memphis
papers at all, and then in bundles
of from two to four or five. The
idea is, that Southern newspapers
are of no consequence unless fur
nishing texts for articles or sermons
on Southern ~outrageS, and that all
the news must come from and be
manufactured in tile East. While
Mr.. Key is reforming Southern
routes, so as to give the in
terror better facilities, as is claimed
for him, We hope he will apply a
civil service reform to mail
trains and facilities from the West
and South to the East. This work
will be fully as laudable as that of
breaking up the Democratic party,
to which he still claims to belong,
and much easier to accomplish.

The Servian instruction on Serkum

1t would appear the Russian points for

that while the eastern column keeps in

will act as the field army, operating
against the flank or rear of the Turkish

vantageous one, for along it lies some
fair roads over the Balkans one from
Ploena TO Sofia, and another from Sis

with greatest exertions they will scarcely
be able to oppose anything like an
equivalent force to the four corps con-
centrated by the Russians on that side,
yet by taking up a central position be-

DISASTER AND DESTRUCTION.

New YORK, June 1.-The Star and
Herald Of Panama, received to-day, has
details of the disaster aud destruction
caused on the South Pacific coast by
the earthquake and tidal wave Of May
9th. The towns of africa, Iquique, Pom
ia de Labos, PabeIlon de Plea, Huanills,
Canavaya, Tocopilla, Cobija, Mejillores
de Bolivia, Autafagosta and Chanaralal
are nearly all destroyed. About six
hundEed lives were lost. The destruction
Of property is estimated at $40, 900, 900,
confined mostly to the coast, although
the town of Farspaca, twenty leagues
inland, and the villages of Plea, Matilda
and Cauchall, far in the interior, are
more or less ruined.
The shipping Of guano from Southern
deposits will be indemnity suspended, as
all facilities in the way of launches
chutes, wharves, water condenser and
buildings of all kinds have been swept
away. The destruction Of and damage
to shipping has been very great and was
attended by a very serious loss of life.

burning OF a Lake steamer.

DETROIT, June ll.-About $3.50 last
evening the steamer R. N. Rice, Of the
Detroit and Cleveland Line, was discov-
cred on fire while lying at her dock at
the foot of Shelby street, and before the
FIRE could be brought under control by
the fire department; the eteerage, after
and forward cabins, with their furniture,
were destroyed. The hull and machinery
was uninsured. The loss is estimated at
from $50, 900 to $35, 900; insurance, $25,.
600. The origin Of the fire is unknown
1t will probably take six weeks or more
to rebuild the burned portions of the
Rice. In the meantire the steamer
Pearl, of Cleveland, will take her place
in the Detroit and Cleveland Line.

Texas out of its natural channel
to st. Louis. The commerce of
the country belongs to those fnan-
cial centers which invest the
most largely to control it. BY a
discrimination in rates the Iron
Mountain road has forced business
over its lines to st. Louis which
otherwise would have gone to Mem.
phis and Louisville. This has given
the st. Louis merchants the advan-
tage of selling to Arkansas and
Texas at even higher margins than
other cities would have asked. +"
This is a fair statement of the case.
That trade has been forced to st.
Louis, where it does not belong,
by a most unscrupulous dog-in-the-
manger policy in not giving a pro-
rate to the roads leading east which
would afford them a chance to
compete. Colonel Tate said he
had warned President Allen that
the 5000 miles of railroad ~centering
in Memphis would one day rebel
against his policy. "If the suits
now pending against Mr.. Allen"
said he, should be decided against
him, the Iron Mountain road will
have to run for its local business.
If he gains the suit and retains the
road, the roads which center in
Memphis viii build the road now
surveyed from Memphis by Duvall's
and Pine bluffs to Jefferson, Texas,
and will operate it at just cost, thus
compelling the merchants of st.
Louis to try and control the Texas
trade, OF they and their pet road,
into which they have never paid a
dollar, will be left out in the wet"
The colonel then went on to say
that if the Iron Mountain did not
give the other lines the proper pro-
rate on passenger business from
Hot Springs and Texarkana they
would put on low-rate tickets from
Little Rock to New York and East
ern points, and that the rate would
be 50 low that they would get the
business. 1t is not at all improb.
able that the prediction of Colonel
Tate will be fulfilled. Memphis,
and Cincinnati must and
will have the Texas and Arkansas
or the large portion which
belongs to them.
