SECOND EDITION
THE TELEGRAPH FIGHT.
AFURTHER REDUCTION BY THE AMEnl
CAN UNION.

FURTHER REDUCTIoH BY THE AAEhI-
CAN UNION.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany having met the reduction Of rates
bel ween Wilmington and Philadelphia,
Chester and Baltimore instituted by the
American Union, the later company
made still further reduction, yesterday
by which the rate between this city and
New Y ork was fixed at fifteen cents for
ten words. The Western Union had not
met this reduction, this morning, and
manager Westbrook did not know
whether his company would respond or
not.
Mr.. Westbrook further stated that on
November 1st, OF this year, the Western
Union made Its regular quadrennlal re-
duction of rates TO points all over the
country. This reduction was effected
quietly, without any public notice, and
reached generally from ten to twenty
per cent, and in number of cases was
as mnch as thirty per cent. He said the
Western Union only entered into cutting
ra es where 1t was necessary for the pro-
lection of its interest, and he did not
know that this would be the case now.
sonE TELEGRAPHIC SPARKS.
The system in used for the establish
msnt of telegraphic rates between diff
ferent points is q very interesting one.
The whole country is divided into q
number of imaginary squares numbered
consecutively from to the end. Each
telegraphic station is furnishing with 4
book containing these numbered squares
and opposite each number are the tariff
rates bttwsen the station receiving the
book and the different squares Some o
these squares represent dozen or more
stations, though of course in the SAINT
nei2hborhood. The rates are all on |
basis ofa prescribed sum for ten word
and a further charge for each additiona
word.
There are now about 1000 Westerl
Union telegraph stations in this country
Manager Christie, of the American
Union, has made start for the introduc
ton of district telegraph in this city
Several business places are connected b

HOUSES FOR THE PEOPLE.

An Important Meeting on Tuesday Even
ing Next of Interest to Real Estate Men,
Building Associations and all who Want
to Get Home of Their Own.
At 8 o'clock on Tuesday evening, at the
chamber of commerce, there will be meet
ing of all who have real estate for sale, to
consult with the representatives of building
associations, to see if some plan cannot be
devised whereby men of small means can be
provided with houses to rent or buy on
such terms as will be safe to the owners of
the real estate, while there will be security
for the loan association, who have 500, 600
per month they can advance to improve
the vacant lots of the city and build homes
for the thousands who are pouring in upon
us unable to find place to live in, as well as
those other thousands who are
without homes and therefore
not permanent citizens. Several plans will
be presented to the meeting, and all who are
interested, az we'll as all who have ideas, are
invited to be present and participate in the
proceedings. This is not meeting to form
any new building associatian, or other as
ISOLATION to give anybody an Office, but q
public meeting free to all without regard to
record sweepstakes the best ideas
will knock the persimmons and bring the
lightning out of the cloud to execute the will
of God by bringing labor and capital into
harmony, and making each subservient to
the needs and requirements of the other. A
great reform in our system of hard times
and hard sales is the object to subserve the
good of the entire city. There ought to be
a good turn out.

China Weddine.

Friday night the Rev. Mr.. Davis, of the jack
son Street M. E. Church, and his wife, were
treated to genuine surprise. The congrega-
ton assembled to the number of so at the
PASTORS residence while he and wife were
away. On their return home they were ap-
prised of the fact that the goOdly company was
there to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of
their marriage; their "China wedding" To do
this en- regle, the company had brought the con-
fections and other sinews. Host and hostess
gave hearty welcome, and pleasant even
ing was passed. In the course of the evening"
pleasure, the Rev. Mr.. Davis and his wife were
given a recognition of the esteem and love in
which both are held, by the presentation of q
complete and handsome set of china. DR..
Murphy made neat speech and was responded
to by Mr.. Davis. Altogether the occasion was
happy one, enjoyed alike by host and hostess
and their generous guests.

ConleY,s Varieties.

Probably, and the probability assumes big
proportion, the best show ever given at
Conley's varieties, held the house last week.
The programme has been long and varied
one introducing the artists in their several
specialties in rapid succession, and to the
genuine pleasure of the large audience, night
ly. Songs, sketches and dance, with dialect
performances have afforded the variety, excel
lent in time sparkling in sketches and nimble
in dance. Last week and this the entertain
ment is opened with minstrelsy, in which the
entire company of ladies and gentlemen take
part. This feature of the evenings perfor-
nance is made very attractive in song and
comicali ties, and besides the ladies are uni
formed alike in beautiful array. This week
old favorites will be retained, and new stars
will be added to the GALAXY. -

pastor had the satisfaction of announcing to
his congregation that the whole amount Of
indebtedness had been procured, and that
hereafter the burden of interest would be
raised from the shoulders of his people. The
announcement was exceedingly gratifying.
It is to be hoped that other churches now in
debt will follow the good example set by the
First Baptist.
At the general conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, now in session at
Cincinnati, the bishops announced in their
address to the church, that the 10000 Meth
odist churches under their supervision owe
debts aggregating $7,0OO,OO0. They Sc
verely censured the conduct of those trus-
tees who mortgage the church property in
order to defray the ordinary church ex-
penses. They might have gone further and
censured those trustees who mortgage
church property to crafty the vanity of the
few who desire fashionable church edifce
that they cannot pay for in which to wor-
ship God. These churches pay an annual
interest of considerably more than half
million dollars, equivalent to tax OF
thirty seven dollars on each member. This
showing is simply scandalous, but nearly all
denominations will be found on inquiry to
be as deeply in debt. The time is not far
distant when the business affairs of churches
will be managed on business principles, and
no church will be built that the congrega-
ton cannot pay for.
