In cOnversing with number of the prominent
members of the church, a Journal reporter was
told yesterday that DR.. Mcleod had not yet
given any assurances that he would accent the
call to the pasora of the Second Church, but
he had been very favOrably impressed from his
visit to the city, and it confidently believed
he would, after mature deliberatlon, give the
trustees formal notification of his acceptance.
"How soon do You expect some definite answer
from DR.. McLeod?' was asked.

careful consideration, and, | suppose, that VIII

with Preceding Week.
The car movement for the week ending Nov. 3
shows slight increase over that OF the proceed
ing week. although the agents of several of the
roads had been looking for a sharp decrease, so
light was the movement in the early part of the
week butin the later days of the week there was
a marked improvement with the east-and-west
lines. For the next two weeks it is more than
probable that eastbound through traffic will be
spasmodic in volume, heavy one day and light
the next. The new corn crop will hardly begin
to move before the goth of the month, Seldom
is grain traffic eastbOund light as
for few days past. West-bound business,
however, continues to he heavy, most OF the
cars coming west being loaded with merchan-
disc for the holiday trade. North and south
roads are having rather quiet movement, but
about the same tonnage as usual at tins season
of the year. Live stock traffic, local in charac-
ter, begins to move quite freely. Local business
is still running ahead of the corresponding pc
ROD last year. Below is given the number OF
cars received and forwarded in the week end
ing November at u NJ. compared with the
preceding week:

in answer to a request that he cease to run Sun
day excursion trains, said 81 entirely agree
with you as to the evil results OF such excur-
sons, and l have know that their
recent rapid increase has been largely due to
the demands made on railroad managers by
those having camp-meeIings, temperance
gatherings and eo-called sacred concerts in
charge, and not to any disposition on the part
of railroad officials TO become violators of law.

influential of our religious organizations eX-
press its view in so kindly spirit, and L cheer
fully accept the suggestions made to dis
continuance OF such tiains. There Will, accord
inglv, hereafter be no excursion trains run on
the Maine Central railroad on the Lords day, so
