on Wednesday, going eastward.
The volume of business for the
past week, all over the country. is
large beyond precedent for this
season.
The trial Of State Senator Sessions.
Of New York. for an attempt to
bribe AssembIyman Bradley, during
the late contest, is expected to begin
at Albany September 18th.
Vigorous protests against the cleo
ton of Gambetta, based upon APP
parently reasonable grounds, have
been entered in two districts in the
goth reimbursement.
Since Emperor Wilhelm has ex-
pressed his great dislike to the
anti-Jewish movement, measures
for the prevention Of further out
RACES have been taken, and the tone
of conservative newspapers has
moderated. The Jewish papers
speak in such abusive language of
their triumph that they are warned
of their liza bility to provoke further
Outrages.

Massachusetts, Greenbackers

Worcester, 24.-The state green
back convention met to-day; John
Howes, president. Four hundred
and six delegates were present.
There was considerable confusion
over the selection of the committee
on resolutions. Recess.
The platform adopted repudiates
and stigmatizes the two old parties,
monopolists generally, national
banks, railroads, etc, and generally
conforms to the previous greenback
platforms. The convention adopted
the platform, after adding the fol-
lowing:
Res0loed, That suffrage is the
right Of all citizens, without regard
to race, coler, sex or taxes.
The nominations for governor
were Israel w. Andrews, James NJ.
Buffum. P. W. Doherty, Gen. B. F.
Butler, John J. Baker and Wendell
Phillips.

The war of rates at Chicago above
threatens now to involve the eastern
roads. 1t is evidently the. determina-
ton of the Chicago and Alton to en-
force a settlement Of existing diff
culties by carrying the contest into
new territory. Monday the Alton
announced a large reduction in rates
from Kansas City to leading points in
Canada. as follows: Guelph, Ont,
81 20: Hamilton, 50 05; Montreal,
$l2 O8; Paris, Ont, IS 80; Toronto,
$40 20. This company has also made
a large reduction in the rates from
Kansas City to all leading points in
Michigan, namely: Adrian, Ann Ar
Dor, Battle Greek, Bay City, Detroit,
Flint, Grand Rapids, jackson, Kala-
mazoo, Saginaw and Ypsilanti. The
cuts to those points are very large,
and are said to make the fare from
Kansas City to the above points from
So to S. less than the rates from
Chicago to those points. 1t could not
be learned over which line the Alton
made the rates, but they are evil
IDENTIFY in conjunction with the jack
son, Lansing and Saginaw, Flint and
Pere Marquette and Grand Trunk, as
in no other way could the above
points be reached by the Alton.
Should it turn out that these roads
have actually Joined the Alton, there
will necessarily be a hutter in the
camp of the Michigan Central and
Michigan Southern railroads, and
there is no telling what the result
may be. Besides making the above
reductions from Kansas City, the
Chicago and Alton has also instructed
its Omaha agents to make the follow
ing rates from Omaha indianapolis,
So; Columbus, O., so, and SO to
Toledo, with corresponding low rates
to all points. This shows that this
latest attack by the Alton is not only
against the eastern lines to force them
into the war, but also against the Bur-
lington and other Omaha lines, and
compel them to come to some under
standing regarding the re-establish-
ment Of rates. Everything indicates
exceedingly lively times among the
western and eastern roads as far as the
passenger business is concerned.

How They Dispose Of ROughs in
San MarciaI.
Leadyille Herald.l

Leadville Herald.l
A former resident of Leadville, who
has Just returned from Colorado, New
Mexico, the present terminus Of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail-
way, says that a woman, Mary Nc
Bride, was making her way from Col
orado, which is the terminus, to the
old town, a distance of a mile and a
half. She was walking along leisurely,
when she noticed four men coming
toward her. They we're very demon
strative, but she thought them en-
dowed with sufficient humanity to
respect a woman, and endeavorcd to
proceed on her way. They surrounded
and ordered her to give up her money,
if she had any. She declined to dose,
when they adopted compulsory meth
DDS, and relieved her of $l37, which
was the last cent she had. The woman
returned to the end Of the track, and
described the villains who had robbed
her. That night three of the rufians
we're found playing cards in a saloon,
and justice was, indeed, summary.
Without a word the vigilants walked
forward, and, seizing the highwaymen
marched them out. Ropes were soon
placed around their necks, and they
were dangling romthe telegraph poles.
The avengers returned to their homes
as if nothing unusual had occurred.
The next day the gentleman inter-
viewed continued his journey, and
arrived at San Marcial in good time
to witness the invasion of the town by
two d~esperadoes whose yells and
carousals made the place hideous.
Scarcely had he seated himself at the
hotel table when shrieks and the
firing of revolvers summoned the
guests to their feet. and, running out
upon the piazza, they could see the
darkness broken here and there by the
sharp fash of r%evolyers. In a moment
the entire populace was up in arms
and in pursuit of the disturbers, who
ran their animals with break-neck
speed TO the old town of San Marcial.
Here they repeated their deviltry, and
entertained themselves by riding into
a saloon, shooting out the lights, taking
possession of the bar and running
things generally. While they we're in
the saloon and had complete and I'M
disputed possession of the place, citi-
zens arrived from the new town, and
approaching n~oiselessly corraled the
roughs. The proprietor had aban-
doned the place, and at the word the
entire party opened fire on the
usurpers. Volley upon volley was
fred in upon them, and subsequent
examination disclosed that seventy
one balls had found their way into the
two bodies. The next day a hole was
dug in the prairie and the dead men
thrown into it.

.IeWish Ntrength in America

The result Of the first systematic
attempt to ascertain the strength OF
Judaism on this continent has Just
been published. For many years past
there has been in the sect a growing
demand for some statistical informa-
ton concerning the Israelites in the
United States, not alone as an exhibit
of material prosperity Of status as a
religious sect, but also as a means of
enabling the different churches to act
in concert in all that concerned them
as children of the Abrahamic faith.
In 1875 the board Of delegates of
American Israelites, with the CO.
operation Of the Union of American
Hebrew congregations, undertook the
task of securing the desired informa-
ton, the chief charge Of the matter
being placed in the hands of Mr.. VIM.
B. Hackenburg, Of this city. Con-
siderable difficulty was experienced in
obtaining reliable figures, some Of the
congregation declining to respond.
while in some places, where neither
congregations moi Jewish societies exc
listed, the committee were compelled
to rely upon their individual effort.
Altogether, returns received from
one thousand places show thatin 1875
there were in the United States US
congregations, with a membership OF
12,546, and that the number of Israel
ties was 23O,257. Making allowance
for the places not heard from, the to-
tai Jewish population is placed al
100000 souls. Of these about 1900
are located in Pennsylvania. The
Oldest congregation in the country Is
the Shaaray ShOmayin, Of Lancaster
organized in l776, while the Rodeli
Shalom, Of Philadelphia, is the next
Oldest, having been organized in 1880
The richest congregation is the
Emanuel, Of New York. which, al
though only established in 1913, anC
having but 262 members, owns rea
estate and other property to the valu.
Of 100000. The public institution
established by the sect 10 the Unite,
States include five hospitals, clever
orphan asylums and homes, and sil
free schools. It's doctrines are enun
ciated by seventeen newspapers ana
magazines. The 278 congregations il
America own between them property
valued at S6.750,0O0, and over thirteeI
thousand children attend the religious
schools.
