Fresh Consignment of Mormon

aged at the poor crop.
One of the Mormons, shy English girl
named Cook, declined to accompany the
Mormons any further upon arriving here.
She said was led by curiosity to attend
the Mormon missionary meeting. The
elder said he knew my mother in America,
and she had told him she wanted me to
come out and join her. Then he showed
me letter which he said had been written
by her to him and let me read that part of
the paper on which something was written
about bringing her daughter back with
him. The Mormons told US that we young
women folks would all get married to good
husbands and be sure of happy and pros
porous lives when we got out to Utah. The
elder said it was fertile country, with a
religious government, and that everything
was nice and home-like. l believed what
he said, and when the ship sailed | was one
OF the several score Of women who made
up the company that went on board. L
L don't believe ii is true at all now"
" Don't you want to go to Utah, then ?'
Mr.. Gildea asked
ooh, nor said the girl but l can't
help myself now"
We'll, you shan't go if you don't want
to- said Glldea "rll stop it
" Don't tell the elders though" the emf
grant said; they'd keep me down there in
the steerage all the time"
Gildea said that he watched the elders
after the interview before acting. There
were half dozen of them on boarN, and
they lived liked nabobs They drank
champagne constantly in the cabin, and
would play cards for money with anybody
who would join in. Gildea says that he
and other passengers saw them go among
the young women in their company and
display photographs of good-loolling Nor
mons, telling them that the originals would
marry them as soon as they got to Utah.
Gildea spoke to dozen Americans and
Irishmen about Miss Cook, and said he had
resolved to rescue the girl from the elders.
Other passengers acquiesced in the scheme,
and yesterday morning they went in Il
group to the elders, who were standing
near the steerage, and demanded that the
girl be allowed TO follow her own wish and
be released from any agreement she might
have made.
"You mind your own business" said
one of the elders the girl is one of our
party"
One OF the passengers pushed forward
and grabbed Miss Cook and drew her
away. Instantly there was a tussle, and
one of the elders was knocked fiat on the
uCCh. All dIiSIN 1IISIilldl III lllt ultltc
shouted imprecations at the elders, and
threatened to lay them all out if they
touched the girl again. The Mormons
finally drew back and let Brooklyn man
lead the girl to cabin. Miss Cook had
about $50 in English money
Germany and the Pork Question.
WASHINGTON, November 12th.-J. II.
Saunders, agent of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, to attend the In
ternational Exhibition at Hamburg, in his
report recently submitted to the Commits
sioner of Agriculture, says: So far as |
could learn it is generally conceded that
whenever an inspection Of our pork is
made under careful governmental super
vision, similar to that now made by the
German authorities, there will be no OBJ
lection to its sale in Germany; that We're
there such an inspection there would be
such strong pressure brought TO bear
upon the German Government by its own
people that the embargo would be speedily
removed. Should further experiments con-
firm what has been already partially shown,
that thorough curing in salt destroys the
vitality OF tIichinT, if not entirely at least
to 50 great 4 degree as to reduce the danger
from meats that have been thoroughly
cured by this process to almost nothing, it
will doubtless be a strong point in our
favor, and proper presentation of the facts
to the German Government, should this be
clearly proven, ought at once to be made
Until this fact is clearly established, how
ever, and in the absence of any pretense of
the inspection of American meats, either
under the Government or the individual
supervision of persons, the German Coy
ernmentis obviously sound upon this ques-
ton, and cannot be assailed without it first
being demonstrated that their own inSpec-
ton is useless.

New YORK, November l2th.-Accounts

munities, and measures will be taken to

ton that will not only prevent outrages in
future, but compel the Pekin authorities to

tanned. The clergy ofthe leading dcnomi-
nations are in favor of a movement. and
