A Debt Cancelled.

The sale of fancy and useful articles suit able for Christmas gifts which took place at the lecture room of Trinity M. E. church yesterday afternoon and evening proved to be fine success. Most of the articles on sale had been made up during the year by the Ladies' Social union and many of them were very beautiful. Supper was provided for those who desired it from to 10 p. m. The profits of the sale, added to the profits from the lecture course, will enable the ladies to cancel debt which they assumed for fur nishing the new parsonage at the time it was built. The original debt was about $1 500, and of this amount $1, 900 had been paid previous to this fall. The ladies of the Social union are certainly entitled to much commendation for thei1 praiseworthy efforts, which have now been crowned with most abundant s11ccess

 CLEVELAND, Dec. 10.-About o'clock yesterday afternoon a young man entered the Central police station and informed the su- perintendent that he was in search of Katie Meyers of Mansfield, O., who ran away from home few days ago. He stated that it had been discovered that she left Mansfield in company with railroad man named Corri- gan. The couple were traced to room on Lake street which they had rented. Here the girl was confronted by the young man, who is her cousin. She burst into a violent fit of weeping, which was succeeded by her falling in dead faint when told that her mother had dropped dead on hearing the news of her daughters escapade. After con- sciousness had been restored the girl was i'm mediately seized with convulsions and was only quieted by the use of strong opiate. The couple had not been married and Corri- gan made his escape. The young woman will be removed to her stricken home.

The American Association EnjOined.
 PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 10-Argument was
 heard to-day upon the preliminary injunc-
 tion to restrain the American association
 from consummating the expulsion of the
 Metropolitan base ball club of New York.
 Counsel for the association contended that
 the whole complaint was substantially that
 the defendants did not want to play ball
 with the Metropolitans and that the latter
 sought to compel them to do so. The court
 suggested the possibility of the association
 dissolving in the event of the success of the
 plaintiffs in this case and forming a new as
 sociation, leaving the complainants out.
 Counsel replied that such a proceeding
 was in accord with the advice to his clients
 and characterized the whole matter as a
 sttempest in 8 teapot" Counsel for the
 Nets replied that Wiman had spent nearly S1OO 900 in the matter and argued that the
 language of the association constitution gave
 evidence that the agreement between the
 clubs was continuing one. The Metropoli-
 tan club was a member of the association and it's membership was valuable, entitling it to a share in the profits of games played with other clubs. It had been deprived of it's rights without charges, notice trial and the court was asked to disapprove of such sharp practice. The court announced it's decision as follows:
 'sIt seems to the court that in the present condition of this cause a prima facie case has been made out entitling the plaintiff to 8 preliminary injunction. Undoubtedly valu- able rights are secured by membership in this association. It has never been con- sidered an answer to bill restoring 8 com
 pla1nant to membership in an incorporate association to say that he might have an action of law to recover damages for his expulsion. Equity will always inter fere to protect plain rights. As the case is at present presented, we think a prelimina- ary injunction should issue and we therefore order it''
 The injunction will continue in force until December 18th, when motion will be heard to dissolve it upon bill and affidavit

The Expulsion of the Mets Stirring
 Up a COnmotion.

 Up a COmmotion.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The expulsion of the "Mets" from the American association ostensibly because Erastus Wiman bought the club for S25, 900 and intended to have it play on Staten Island was the chief subject of talk among base ball men in town to-day. The general opinion seemed to be that the association had been guilty of sharp practice and would be punished for it. A firm friend of the Metropolitans when asked the real reason for the expulsion said "The Brooklyn club, fearing that MT. Wiman would make the Metropolitans stronger in this vicinity than they could become and seeing that by throwing out the Metropolitans from the as sociation they could strengthen their own team, went to work to accomplish this in my opinion. At any rate it is known that they were very prominent in the action of the meeting"
 Mr. John B. Day, who was president of the Metropolitans until MT. Wiman's purchase, said to-day: ''I consider the action of the association in expelling the Metropoitans |A,-.-~.-sz--s~--a--s .-..sesrssA Fvef heard of There is question that the meeting and it's action were both illegal &C., cording to their own constitution. The Metropolitans were not notified of the meet ing and the club had not violated any of the rules which render liable to expulsion. They cannot legally call a special meeting without notifying all the clubs which are members. What they now claim is that their action was based on the fact that the Nets assumed more than they were entitled to assume by the transfer to Staten Island. Now they expressly pass ed resolution in a fully attended special meeting on October IF permitting the club to play on Staten Island. That is impossible, for it is stock company belonging to this city. If MT. Wiman closed the transaction at the time of the, October meeting I do not think any action of this kind would have been taken. If the injunction is sus- tained then the engagement of the players to | other clubs is not legal and can, think, be | annulled. In this event, supposing the asso- citation still to hold to it's opinion, the seven clubs which voted to expel the Nets and take the Nationals would have to change their identity, suppose, and form new organiz- ation."

The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1885-08-01

A Brooklyn clergyman, Rev. DR.. Ludlow,
who had been travelling in the Holy Land,
had the bravery to venture a visit to the
curious colony of Drusee-the Mohamme-
dan sect inhabiting the side of Mount Her.
mon which a..few years ago was guilty of the
frightful massacre of the Christians there
abouts. He found them strange people,
blood thirsty for backsheesh, however,
rather than for gore, and turning their
hatred for the time being against Turks in
stead of Christians. The curiosity of the
Druses extended to the interior of their
visitors pockets, and they even mcde of
with the latters' boots which they had
politely taken of in calling upon the chief
of the village. DR.. Ludlow will give an ae-
count of his amusing experiences in the
August Rarpe,'s.

A MOTHERS AGONY.
There was mother once who never planned
rosy future for her baby boy.
Whose dreaming eyes saw only bleeding hands,
Whose broodlng heart held never thought Of
Joy;
Who, when she kissed his dainty, dimpled feet,
And cradled ON her breast his head Of down,
Beheld Golgotha's sacriicial path,
That sacred brow pierced by a thorny crown;
Who lived each day eternities of woe,
With bitter knowledge of her coming loss,
When that sweet babe, to suffering manhood
grown,
Would hang all torn and wounded on a cross
Whose sorrowing thoughts forever dwelt upon
The bitter passion, suffering and gloom,
Gethsemanes wild cry, the Judas kiss
That marked the Man-God's passage to the
tomb.
90 look thee. earthly mother, when thy woes
Seem even more than human heart can bear.
Bethink thee Of that other suffering one
And seek her feet in agony Of prayer.
Remember, brightest light will follow shade
The sweetest smiles preceded by frown,
And those who here the heaviest burden bear
In other worlds will claim the fairest crown.

Hobbies of the sc;entists.

There were several dozen Of tho hygienists in
council, each with his individual hobby. Each
thought all tue Others were wrong. Each was
sure that his own hobby was the only correct
one. A gentleman present said he had taken
Browns Iron Bitters for debility and dyspep-
sia, and though he didn't want to make fuss
about it, he knew the use of this great tonic to
be better than all the notions he had heard ad-
sanced in the council. One practical cure is
worth thousands Of guesses and notions, Thou-
sands of happy convalesceuts speak gratefully
of Browns Iron Bitters.

A BUILDERS LESSON.
JOHN BRYl.E O'REILLY.

How shall habit break?''
As you did that habit make.
As you gathered, you must lose.
As you yielded. now refuse.
Thread by thread the strands We twist
Till they bind us, neck and wrist;
Thread by thread the patient hand
Must nntwine, ere free We stand.
As we builded. stone by stone,
We must toll, unhelped, alone,
Till the wall is overthrOwn.
But remember, as we try,
Lighter every test goes by:
Wading in, the stream grows deep
Toward tho centres downward sweep;
backward turn, each step ashore
Shallower is than that before.
All, the precious years we waste
Leveling what we raised in haste:
Doing what must be undone
Ere content or love be won?
First across the gulf we cast
Kite borne threads. till lines are passed,
And habit builds the bridge at last!
