grants, showing hat they had been in
mates of several poor houses in Ireland
and induced to come to this country
by workhouse masters, from whom
they had received passage s..okets and
small sums of money. The commissi2ner
considers the landing Of paupers largely
due to the laxity of the management of

tors. After further discussion it was re.
solved TO instruct the secretary Of the
board to detain all immigrants proved

furnished by the British government and
to appoint a committee Of the board to
await on the collector and present aft
davits taken in regard to such cases and
ask the steamship companies which
brought such immigrants here to be COM
nelled to return them to the port from
whence they came at their W expense.
While the meeting was in pro-
gress the commissioners were in
formed that the steamer Anchoria
had Just arrived with immigrants

government, and who were paupers, 1t
was resolved not to ALLOW the Anohoria's
passengers to land until tse inspector
made, a thorough investigation. The
commissioners express themselves de-
termined to put a stop to the landing of
pauper immigrants from foreign coun.
tries.
The committee laid the matter before

REVIVAL SERVICES,
The Spirit of the Lord Abroad In
sOuth washington.

Tho interesting revival services at the
Sixth Presbyterian Church, conducted by
the Rev. +. II. Burdick, tho pastor, and
Mr.. ]. Il. Wolf, the noted evangelist, arc
attracting much attention and doing untold
good in causing wayward sinners to change
their modes of life. The meetings were
held all of last week, aud will continue
through this week and probably next week,
If the people continue to manifest the same
spirit of religious fervor as Is now shown.
The services are conducted in the lecture
room of the church, and nightly the seats
are illcd with interested worshipers, com
posed largely of the young men and women
and children whose parents attend the
church, and other denominations.
Last night, shortly after o'clock, the
spacious lecture-room was crowded and Mr.
Wolf preached one of his most entertain
ing and instructive sermons. He called
the attention of his hearers to the vast i'm
portance of conversion and the manifold ad
vantages of Christian life. He cited the
great good done in the last few years by
evangelists in different parts of the coun-
try. At the close of his remarks largo
number Of young and old arose aud ad-
vanced TO the front seats and sat down TO
express their deep contrition.
Prayers were then offered by diil'rent
elders and afterward the evangelist, the
pastor and other active members of the
congregation personally cxhorted the at
tendants to repent and come at once TO the
Lord. Since the revivals were started
large additions have been made to the con
gregation, but the spirit of Christianity is
still abroad and doubtless before tho meet
ings are closed large number Of others
