Mrs. James A. Hooper.

The PRKsS, the other morRing, recorded the
death of Mrs. James A. Hooper, formerly of
this city, but rscsntIy Of Titusville, Pa. The
Titusville paper says:
1t is our sad duty this morning to chronicle
the death OF one Of this city's most estimable
women-Mrs. James A. Hooper. She a. a
native of the State of Maine, and married
James A. Hooper of Charlestown, Mass, aud
for their Wedding tour joHrnsyed to Mobile,
Ala, which was their residence many years.
After the war they came North, and in 1869
made their home in Titusvile. Our readers
will remember the sad accident at Miller Farm
BY which Mr.. Hooper lost his life in Kovem-
Der, 1872, being crushed by cars, the loading OF
which with petroleum. he was experimenting.
Mr.. Hooper at that time represented the Port
land Kerosene Oil Company.
1t is nearly three months since Mrs. Hooper
suffered from an attack of rheumatism, which
has never left her, but brought in its train 9th
or ills, OF which paralysis has been the most
serious obstacle to combat and which was
hnally the immediate cause of her death. It
was only during the last week that apprehen-
soRs were felt. Saturday evening she partook
of her snpper with an evident relish, and strong
hopes were entertained that the crisis WAS
past. but soon change took place, and night
of great rsstlessness and difficulty OF respira-
tion was suddenly terminated by the sleep that
knows no waking. 1t is Supposed that paraly
els reached some vital organ.
Mrs. Hooper was pre-eminently remarkable
for genial nature, overfioEing with kindness,
generosity and good will towards every one.but
It was in the domestic circle that her charac-
teristics fonnd their fullest scope and highest
exemplfcation. Her memory will be om-
baned in the hearts If her many friends IN
this city. She leaves one daughter, Mrs. II u

were recently visited by two s@indlers named
Hurd Of Boston, who off red to sell them ST.

Hurd said the business was q ticklish one, and
he didn't wish to leave any evidence 10 fasten
the issuing of tho counterfeit on him; so he
would take the $3.50 and drop the package of
counterfeits outside the house door as he was
leaving. Morrison would net agree to this,
and Hurd found he could not trade unless he
handed over the package on receiving the
money; SO he agreed to do this, and the ex-
change took place Hurd buttoned the $3.50
up in his pocket, and then, drawing revolver,
presented it at the head of the elder Morrison
and demanded the restoration OF the package
of alleged counterfeits. The Nova ScotiaDs
proved game, however, and struggle ensued
which resulted in the two Hurds being
Worsted and elected from the house. The
$1,000 proved to be genuine bills, which the
counterfeiters meant TO use as decays, as they
had several times before. The Hurds applied
to Magistrate for warrant and had the
NorrisouS arrested on a charge of stealing 81
600 from them, aud the latter had the Hurds
arrested for assault and attempt on the elder
hrotber's life by shooting at him with revolt

Marine Underwriters Organizing.
(New York Tribune.)

A movement which has been oa foot since
last Jaly, has recently eliminated in the or
gAnization Of new association 81 marine IN
derwriters. The association, which is called
the National B0sgd Of Underwriters, is the
successor Of tue Association Of Marine Under
writers, which expired By limitstion on July
/. after an unsuccessful existence Of one year.
This association was wrecked by al effort to
establish and maintain a uniform tariff OF
rates The new Board. it is understood, viii
carefully avoid what melancholy experience
has demonstrated to be an utterly impractioa-
bic scheme, and viii confne itself to mutual
protection Ia the vsrioa phases OF inspection,
adjustment. salvage and 50 forth. Twenty
eight companies are already enrolled in the or
ganzation, which includes all but two or
three in this city, both domestic and foreign.
Boston is represented by eight or ten eenpan-
les, Philadelphia by four, and Nav Orleans by
four. Officers have besn elected and commits
tees appointed on adjustment, salvage and In
speetion. The principal officers are as follows:
President, Thomas g. Hand, President of the
Delaware and Mutual Insurance Company Of
Philadelphia; Vice President, Isaac Sweetzer,
PRESIDENT Of the Washington Fire and Marine
Insurance Company OF Boston; Secretary j.
Raymond smith, secretary Of the Great West
ern Insurance Company Of New York. By
laws and constitution are IN preparation. IL
is said that the loc:sI Board Of Mariue Under
writers some time ago maize overtnres 10 tao
new concerns, looking to a sale OF its plant and
a surrender OF its existence. Mr.. Dennis, OF
the Board, denied Tuesday that sRch was its
intention.
Marine insurance rates are now low. il some
lines lower than they have ever been. Cotton
has been wrttsn for as litsie as One-q carter OF
one per cent, net, and grain cargoes Lave also
been taken at figures which few years ago
would have been considered ruinous. The ac-
tive competition tatween home and foreign
companies has hesn chiefly instrumental ia
causing the low rates The competition has
been greatly promoted by the growth IN tele-
graph facilities which enable Insurers 20 place
their risks in London and Liverpool in few
hours time whenever they fail 10 secure satis-
factory rases here. 1t was hoped year aud
half ago that the downward tendency OF rates
would be checked by the organization OF The
Association OF Marine Underwriters, all the
members OF which were pledged TO maintain
an agreed tariff. The effort was in vain, how
ever. Although it is said that the practice
was frowned upon by the foreign compauies,l
their agents here were able by surrender of a
part OF their commissions to insurers 10 cut I'M
der the tariff agreed upon. The association,
having tried the experiment for year, gave
it up. Conversations with number OF the
leading marine insurers Tuesday showed
general unwillingness on thor part to admit
that rates were much lower now than they
nave been for several years, yet it is true that
such is the case.

day the workmen iii the shoe-sbop owned by
S. Newoomb & Co., on South street, notlned
their employers of their intention to quit work
unless they were given the same advance as
that obtained by the strikers OF Tuesday. After
considering the matter the firm decided to
give the increase, and the men have resumed
work. A better time Than the present could
not have been selected by the men for strike
OF this kind as the shoe-shops are now IN thelr
busiest season aud are all stocked with orders
that must be filled. Whether the advanced
prices that have now been given will stand
over the winter season is doubtful to speculate
upon. AT any rate the men will enjoy short
season of prosperity. The strike having oc-
Cured in two houses will not stop there DuO

shops will nave to advance the mems wages
or close up their places OF business. Some OF
the proprietors state that their business Will
not be able to stand the additional cost ae-
crued by this advance which, in some shops
will amount to about 800 per week, and some
talk of removing elsewhere. But 1t is not
likely Jhab uuiS last move would pc OF tuNdu-

and the advanced rate Of wages maintained
The advance demanded ard given thus far
is for lasters, rs per cent?; trimmers and
hnshers, 20 per CENT; and edge-setteis ana

The workmen employed IN Dearborn &
Shaw's factory on Main street, numbering
about 60, asked for the advance yesterday
morning The request was granted en- the
condition that they should receive the in
creased rate Of wages only as long as it was
paid by tho other maui, acturers and the men
accepted it on those terms.

THE AMERICAN BOARD.
what It Intends ana what It Is Doing

Il is the definite problem of the foreign mis-
sionary enterprise to establish in heather lands
self supporting and self propagating Christian
churches, including a permanent Christian
ministry. 1t is not undertaking to rse up and
send forth sufficient number Of messengers
personally to carry the gospel to all the millions
of China, but undertaking to rise up and send
forth sufficient number of evangelistic educa-
tors, thoroughly to plant Christian institutions
not only throughout China, but throughout
every continent and ON every shore, so that
upon their own native soil shall be trained up
and sent forth the needed multitude Of mes
sengers. It is this fundamental principle, I'M
derlaying the whole method of the work,
which determines both the number and the
quality of the men it summons into its service.
For seventy years the Board has gone on
with its work employing over 500 missionaries.
Out of every 100 ordained ministers of the
evangelical denominations, five per cent have
gone forth to the unevangeIized. OF the or
dained ministers in the field, 1879 have received
a collegiate education and 100 are graduates
of theological seminaries From some source
the number of ordained laborers must be con-
siderably increased of work in several of
the fields will be seriously crippled. From
some source this increased supply of laborers
must steadily continue during a succession OF
years. It is idle to enlarge the fields and to
broaden educational and evangelistic work
unless the educators aud the leaders who are
to train aud superintend this increased native
agency are multiplied. And these educators
and leaders must be the choicest and ablest
young men,. Thirty such men, as already
stated, is the minimum number needed imme-
diatelg, and will COZ niue to be needed in sue
cession from year to gear.
1t is these facts, as well as many others we
have not space for today, that causes the great
interest in the American Board " bichwill meet
here next week, bringing at least 5000 OF the
leading minds Of the country to our city. They
will meet with hearty welcome.
