Baltimore Items.
BALTIMORE, July SO.

BALTIMORE, July so.
Last Thursday night the members
of the Union Baptist church held
their regular monthly meeting at
which Rev. Harvey Johnson, tho pas
tor, was granted one months vaca--
ton. Bro. Johnson will not leave
until after the first of August, when
he will 60 away for a short time.
Rev. Johnson preached very interest
ing sermons Sunday morning and
evening. He is called the Baptist
hero in Baltimore. About ten or
twelve years ago Rev. johnson came
to Baltimore from Wayland seminary,
Washington, D. c., and took charge
of the Union church with about three
or four hundred members, and now
his church numbers 1,700 or 1850.
That is the best work of any Baptist
church in the Union.
A committee of one from all the
Baptist Sunday schools met on last
Thursday night at the Union church
On North street to make arrange
ments for a union concert in Septem-
Der. The arrangements havenot bsen
completed as yet.
Last Saturday Joshua Brown,
while returning from down the river
crabing, in company with three other
men, was drowned at the foot of
Jones falls. He leaves a wife and
two children.
There was a grand time at the
First Baptist Sunday school last
Sunday. The lesson was reviewed
with care, after which ]. II. Johnson
came forward and explained the
drawing on the black board. He
showed every reason why children
ought to be Christians. Bros. G.
Smith and Joseph Mason endorsed
the remarks of J. ii. Johnson. E.
B. Reid was on hand and he rendered
some of his choice pieces Of music.
Prof. Reid will lead the First Baptist
school at the union concert.

A CURIOUS CRIME.
a Colored Pretender's Curious
Scheme to Ruin a Defenseless
Girl.

CLEVELAND, Aug. IA good.look
Ing colored man, almost white in
complexion, who gave his name as
Chas g. Taylor, and who said be
was Baptist minister, called at the
rooms for the organization of charity
yesterday and asked for a railroad
pass to Dayton, O., for himself and
slck daughter. He said he formerly
presided at Elizabethtown, N. J., and
had been educated by the Baptists.
The agent Of the society hunted out
the sick daughter and found her to
pc Alice Tolson, pretty girl that
would be taken for white.
She said Taylor visited at her
nome in Chicago last week, and rep. |
resented himself as Jay Gould's BODY
guard. He said Gould wanted a
nurse for bis daughter. 81 ac-
'ompanled him to the depot and took
u Eastern train. At nearly every
tatlon Taylor would stop and beg
lckets to the next. The pair arrived
7 Shelby, O., Thursday, and, on
'aylor representing that the girl was
is daughter and in, ne was given a
'unge in the room she occupied. J.
here at the point of a revolver, he
'complished her ruin. =
Tbe pair came here from Shelby, =

THE PRIZE FIGHT.
The Thompson-Sullivan Match Likely

CLEVELAND, O., March 21.-Sullivan' s
dispatch to the Associated Press was shown
Duncan c. Ross tonight. Ross said: ''Thats
right, We'll fight What Mr.. Sullivan says,
we're agreeable to, except we want three
months to prepare Thompson for the fight,
otherwise its all satisfactory. The Clipper
will not hold the stakes. l sent 81, 500 to-
day to Richard K. Fox, with the articles OF
agreement drawn to suit Sullivan's wishes"
A copy was exhibited, reading as follows:
Articles of agreement entered into by
D. C. Ross, in behalf of Mervine Thompson,

NEW YORK,
Especial Telegram to the Globe.f

NEW YORK, March 21.-The sudden re-
duction of freight rates on the trunk lines,
had depressing effect this morning and the
coalers were weak on reported decrease in
earnings. This it was known would be the
cause until April when working full time
will be resumed. Northern Pacific preferred
was the card during the day. The stock was
very active and is oversold, loaning at LA,
as did Michigan Central. Oregon Transcon-
tenental was strong in sympathy with
the first named. Canadian Pacific
continues firm, though the earnings
for second week in March show falling off
of 81, 900. Mr.. Gould was reported as desir-
Gus of controlling the Mexican National.
Mexican Central stock was consequently firm,
also the bonds. Mobile and Ohio came to
the front to day with considerable activity in
it. Pullman Palace continued strong, adj
vancing to 112T. Business was light dur
ing the closing hour and at the finish there
was but little life, though prices were as gem
al thing well sustained. We may be treated
to period of inactivity for some time, but
prices of good stocks are more likely to
be higher than lower in the near future.
They are in strong hands, and their dividends
are satisfactory to the holders.
Three quarters of the new 100000 loan
of the Oregon Railway and Navigation COM
pany were subscribed for to-day at par. The
bonds bear per cent. interest and will be
known as Oregon Railway and Navigation
debenture IS.

day was fairly strong at the close, though
more of an improvement would

Harriet Martineutt.

Harriet Martineau gives very frank and
pleasing account Of how she felt when she
saw that her first newspaper contribution
had been printed:
There is certainly something entirely pc
culiar in the sensation of seeing ones self
in print for the first time. The lines burn
themselves in upon the brain in way of
which ink is incapable in any other mode.
So felt that day when 1 went about with
my secret.
NY brother had asked me to tea at his
house that evening and taking up the maya
zine he began to read my article, saying.
''Ah, this is a new hand. They have had
nothing so good as this for a long while, "
and swhat fine sentence that is! Why,
Harriet, what is the matter with you? [
never knew you SO slow to praise anything
before?
replied in utter confusion:
81 never could battle anybody. The truth
is that article is mine.n
When 1 rose to go he laid his hand on my
shoulder and said, gravely:
''Now, dear, leave it for other women to
make shirts and darn stockings. Do you
devote yourself to this"
| went home in a sort of a dream, so that
the squares of the pavement seemed to float
before my eyes. That evening made me an

request of the Pennsylvania Railway compa-
ny. The main feature was the strength and
activity in ex-Villard properties. Their re-
cent advance, however, does not carry the
look of stability, owing to the suspicion that
the movement is what is known on
the street as margin turn. Before it is
ended the gentleman engineering it will be
very sure to be the first out, as he has
been the first in, and the final result will be
a division, not of profit, but of the pool stock
to the parties in interest. The closing was
sufficiently hesitating to diminish some of
yesterdays ground for encouragement.

cline would have to be accepted. Options
sold off fully 50 to Is points under much ex-
cietment in unloading, closing weak. One
small failure is reported. Rio is weak, as
well as other foreign points, and there is a
complete loss of confidence with desire to
sell, without regarding price. East India
grades have a considerable movement on the
pressure to sell which have established the
