Boston Lumbe, Market.

market quotations for good stock. Considerable
hardwood has been received from Norfolk, both d.

from Virginia and Tennessee, which Is also shipped

sale of 900 900 feet of spruce logs at Bangor at

Against Secret Societies.

Philadelphia. 19.-The Christian
convention to form an anti~secret
society league met to-day. A dele
gate prayed the people to be de-
nvered from bondage greater than
human slavery, and asked that the
spirit of God might open the eyes
and enlighten Christians to the
great danger attending secret So
cieties. Officers were chosen and
addresses made by Rev. J. P. Stod>
dard ard President Blanchard, Of
Lincoln College, Illinois. ResOlu>

secret societies, declaring that the
Masonic Lodge fills our Of

and free institutions. The resolu-

The Farmers Meeting.

Winnipeg, 10. - The farmers
meeting opened this morning. Dele.
gates from all parts of the province
submitted credentials and expressed
the views of the meetings which
they represented. A committee was
appointed to draft a constitution
and resolutions. Some Of the dele
gates advocated measures to force
the Federal government to recog-
nize the rights OF Manitoba, urging
in the event of failure in this, the
withdrawal of the province from
the confederation. The introduc,
ton of politics into the move.
ment was generally condemned.
The feeling of the meeting was
evidently in favor Of all legitimate
efforts to secure a redress of griev-
ances; the latter was freely DIS
cussed. The effects of the railway
monopoly duty on agricultural i'm
plements, building materials and
necessary articles of food and cloth
ing, were unanimously condemned.
The committee submitted the con.
stitution and resolutions at the
evening session. Their discussion
commenced and is now going on.
The discussion will continue to-
morrow, after which the resolutions
as amended will be adopted. The
name of the organization is the

Labor Troubles.

Plttsburg, 19.-The action OF the
Western Nail association will throw
out of employment several thousand

pension to improve trade. The
employees are very respondent,
having already lost nearly four
months of the year by similar
suspension. This afternoon 5000
men of the National Tube Works
at McKeesport were notified OF a
general reduction on January 1st.
If the terms are not accepted, the
works will close down indefin~
itely after that date. The Man

The CoIOred Folks.

Washington, 19.-The executive
committee appointed by the colored
national convention at Louisville,
KY, which consists of delegates
from each state, met to-day in this
city. Chairman Bledger, of At
lants, called the committee to order,
and the roll of states being called,
the chairman stated that since the
meeting of the convention, the
civil rights decision of the Supreme
Court caused considerable agitation
among the colored people, and this
no doubt would incidentally affect
the discussions of the present meet
ing; but the members should not
lose sight of the main
principles enunciated by the
Louisville convention. He sug-
gested that a subcommittee
be appointed to draw up a memorial
for presentation to Congress. also
one to recommend policy in re-
gard to The politics, if any, the COM
mittee should adopt.
Fred Douglass came in during the
discussion. He said public men
were largely divided upon the re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court.
He therefore suggested that if any
endorsement was pos
sible by the committee. of the dis
senting opinion of Justice Harlan,
it would be graceful thing for the
committee to take such action. In
view Of the present political situa-
ton, he thought it would be well
for them to hold a national conven-
ton just before those of the two
great parties.
Scott, Of Ills, offered a resolution
the civil rights resolution
recently offered in the Senate. Res
ferred to a committee.

The ophir Fisht-Flood Wins.

San Francisco, l9.-The Opnir
mining election to-day was bitterly
contested. The fight was between
Flood, who held control, and Sharon,
who was anxious to possess it. 1t
was the most exciting contest since
1.-THE great Hale & NOrcrOss fight in
1868, when shares of that mine
rose to SIS 600. The capital stock
of The Ophir is S10,000,000, q
hundred thousand shares at S1oG
each The real fight was to obtain
possession of the milling ore in
which all the profit lay. Up to this
morning the general belief was that
Sharon had captured the mine; this
was strengthened by the known
fact that Secretary Mccoy, who
married Sharon's neice. was going
to vote bis eleven hundred proxies
IN the Sharon interest. at midday
the Nevada block was surrounded
by an eager crowd, anxious to learn
probable results. Voting COM
menced at los pm. At $50 the
vote stood: Flood, 41,7l4; Morrow,
representing the Sharon interest,
1887; Richardson, for the Bank of
California, holding Sharon certii-
Gates for proxies, appeared and
voted solid 47,l05. This was Offset
by w. II. Wright, who cast 1.460
solid votes Tor Flood, giving HIM
the victory with 5O.922, against
Sharon's 1855. The State law calls
for seven trustees. and by mutual
agreement four were to go to the
winning side. They are: G. l..
Weller, Con O'Conner, Charles
Fish and r. 81. FOIlis.
SharOn's trustees are A. K. p.
Harmon, Norris Scmidt and j. 81.
Dickinson; e. B. Holmes was
elected secretary. The victory is
credited to the energy of J. L.Flood,
a son of the millionaire.
He says the policy of the company
will be to continue to work the
lower levels with the hope of find-
ing a new bonanza. and continue the
search as deep as they can possibly

HOUSE,.

Washington, 10 Scales argued
that Skinner presented an invul-
nerable pTim0 1Gcie case.
Springer contended that the cleo
ton Of Skinner was in accordance
with the law of the State.
Mills defended SINNERS right to
the seat.
Belford said in the light Of the
nineteenth century, though the Re-
publican and Democratic parties
offered to be honest, large numbers
of political outrages were practiced
on both sides, and it was idle to
conceal them. If the House set it.
self to reDudlate the certificates Of
the governors of respective States,
it was committing a mssteriul mis-
take, into the bosom of which he
for one did not propose to drop.
Keifer renewed the resolutions,
but Hiscock offered a substitute for
the amendment, swearing in Skin
ner and a reference of the main fea-
lures Of the case to the committee
on elections. with instructions to
report quickly.
Hiscock said it was dangerous
to question the prima facie
right of a man to a
seat, and warned the Republi-
cans that if Keifer's resolution was
adopted there would be no report
made before the end of the session,
whereas the committee on elections
could in short lime report on the
questions INVOLVED in his substitute.
