Quarterly Meeting The regular quar-
tcrly meeting of the Rockville Circuit, of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South was held
at Potomac chapel on Saturday and Sunday
last The attendance on the latter day was
unusually large and the services deeply in
tcresting. In the forenoon, DIR. Samuel
Rodgers, p E., preached from the First
Epistle to the Romans, 10Th verse: "For
am not ashamed of the Gospel Of Christ, for
it il 4e power;of God unto salvation to every
on( that believeth, to the Jew first and also
10 the Greek" 1t would be fruitless at
tctnpt on our part to undertake to give even
the outline of this able discourse and which
was4istenod to with an interest which we
have seldom seen surpassed. 1t was elabo-
rate, yet concise it was demonstrativc yet
profound, it was plain, yet philosophical and
was replete with tangible and convincing
truths.
In the afternoon Rev. Mr.. Tyler occupied
the pulpit and preached an appropriate SER
mon from the 10th, 18th and 14th verse of
the S1st Psalm.
Potomac chapel has grown to be one of
the leading appointments on the Rockville
Circuit and though it has only become prom
inent within the past few years it is not of
recer' birth, The nucleus Of its organiza-
ton was formed many years ago. 1t heard
the plain and simple story OF the cross in
:. tl,c early days of Methodistism in this coun-
try from those Old pioneers who had Il CON
tinent for circuit, and the power Of whose
mighty mndsc dmatchlcss eloquence could
shake batraiIon of your modern Doctors
of Divinity as easily as the lion throws Off
the dew from his name in the morning sun
light. Nearly all Of the laborers who stood
around its cradle have long since gone TO
their reward, "a few remain who with sill
vercd heads and bowed frame stand on the
verge of that grave which is to them the
cherished rest from many labors, the yesti-
bule to their eternal recompense. In their
fading memories, an their alone lie the ira
ditions which when gathered and digcsted
will tell story of labor, of love and of
hope-a story of lorttude and faith, of dis
appointment and persecution, but OF final
and assured triumph, the aggregate of
which constitutes the unwritten but inter
esting history of this plain and unpre-
tending place of worship which has been
rendered sacred by the tears of the pcni-
tent, tire prayers of the righteous, the bless
ings Of heavens.

LAWRENCE, kas., June l9.-The important
case OF 3. ". Lewis, Jr., VS. the Kansas Pa
cific Railway Company to foreclose a mort
gage and secure income bonds, came on tor
hearing to-day in the District Court Of this
city. On the part Of Lewis it was
alleged that the net earnings OF the
road we're appliable to the payment
OF the interest on the bonds, while,
on the other hand, the Company alleged
that the bonds and mortgage were void, for
the reason that they were issued without any
consideration to a pool composed of contract
ors and Directors Of the Company. Mr..
Shipley, OF St. Louis, and Mr.. Green, of
Lawrence, appeared for the plaintiff, and,
upon the case being called. dismissed the
suit on the part OF the Trustees, and asked
to have the Court dismiss the whole case,
but the Company by its counsel.
opposed such dismissal, and demanded a
trial upon its counter claims, ass erting that
the Company was ready to prove that the
bonds and mortgages were illegal and void;
that the Company was annoyed BY suits in
various localities upon the bonds, and de-
mRnded an immediate trial, that it might
establish the invalidity of the bonds, and 50 be
rid Of vexatious SUITS The Court de-
cided that the Company had right
to have the question Of the validity Of the
bonds tried upon the pleadings as they stood,
although the Trustee had dismissed his part
of the suit; but upon the claim of Mr. Ship
ley that Lewis was not ready for trial and
desired to make further reply, the cause was
continued till the October term.

TIE RAILROADS.

EAST-EOUND FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
There has been quite an improvement in
east-bound freight shipments by rail during
the past week. The shipments for the week
just closed amounted to 1909 tons, against
33 800 tons the week previous, an increase OF
Il, ,71B tons The cause of this heavy increase
in business was the advance in rates by the
lake lines until they reached figures that
made it as cheap to ship by rail as by lake.
A week ago corn rates to Buffalo by lake
were quoted at eight cents per bushel, the
highest figure reached at this season tor
many years. OF course, lake shipments have
fallen off in consequence, and they would have
suffered still worse had there not been
material reduction in rates during the week.
Corn rates by lake were quoted yesterday at
about 614 cents. falling-on of about II
cents from the hight figures quoted. The
shippers succeeded in breaking the lake rates
by starting rumors about a week ago that the
railroads were doing an enormous business.
It was claimed that one road alone had con-
tracted for the transportation Of 100, 600 BUSH
els of grain in one day. This. of course,
was greatly exaggerated, but it Is true that
the Michigan Central has contracted for
quite large amount of grain for Europe,
and the other roads have also done much
heavier business than before, when lake
rates were more reasonable The Michigan
Central has succeeded in getting low ocean
rates, which enabled it to make contracts for
larger amount Of business than it could
have done otherwise, and this road is conse-
Quently rapidly reducing its shortage in
It's east-bound percentage. The reduction in
lake rates during the past week is hardly
sufficient to stop the grain movement by rail,
and the railroads will continue to do heavy
business and the vessels light one until the
latter see fit to make still further reduc-
ton in rates, which, however, is hardly prob
able, us the vessels in the grain business
of the railroads are very few,
many of the larger craft having engaged in
main will try to get as high rates as possible
in order to make up for the losses they suf-
fered IN previous seasons.
The following statement will show the |
amount of business done. by the various |
Eastern pool lines from this city, exclusive |
Of the business done by the Chicago d Grand |
Trunk, which is not yet reported in the !
Board of Trade statements, although this |
road is working now with the pool lines, and |
makes reports to the Trunk-Lina Commis- |
