days Session Let oat-plaerenee of
ylsws-Ths Conference of To-day.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 15.-The mos
interesting topic Of conversation thil
morning in reference to Theron strike wa.
the compromise made by Oliver Brother
& Phillips with their men. The general
opinion expressed is that this offers q way
out Of the oldrail difficulty and will finally
beth basis upon which the strike will
be settled. In connection with the move
made by the Oliver, numerous additional
facts have come to light. It seems that
ever since the beginning Of the contest
Harry Oliver has been urging peace
measures. The trustees Of the firm made
every effort to hold them in line, but
Harry Oliver stumped them with the
proposition tnat they should stand be-
tween him and his creditors, as he would
inform the latter Of his desire
and readiness to resume operations.
He then demanded q representative
on the conference committee, but
the other manufacturers well know
ing the sentiments Of the firm made
no effort to add the member. Hence the
firm determined to start and accordingly
signed the scale. Later information
cleaned this morning explains the long
session Of the conference on Saturday. 1t
seems that the Amalgamated represents
tiyes held their ground, with the excep-
tion that they proposed the change in the
old rail clause accepted by the divers.
This the manufacturers refused at once.
The employees, after some discussion, con-
ceded the bar and guide mill clauses, and
lastly accepted the Amalgamated terms
for boiling swarth. Several times did the
Amalgamated men withdraw to another
room TO discuss the propositions, but they
finally decided TO not accept. At
their request the conference terminated.
AN AMAIdAMATED coyMrrTRE,tAS'sy VIEWS.
Amember Of the Amalgama.ed Com
mittee says: "The manufacturers who
did the most kicking were those who do
not work old rails or make sheet iron.
Those directly interested in those clauses,
had but little to say during the discus
sion.p President Weihe states that the
compromise made with Oliver Bros. &
Phillips was sanctioned by the association.
He does not expect any more signers to
the scale until after the conference to-
morrow. The manufacturers, when seen
this morning, said that the compromise
was really an advance on the price Of
working old rails, hence they would not
accept It. BY the terms Of the arrange
ment good iron made from old rails pays
the workmen 10 per cent. extra, but they
receive nothing for bad iron. One Of the
manufacturers at the conference said that
in his mill the bad iron made from old
rails did not average more than Gper
cent, hence the proposed terms Of COM
promise would, II accepted, result in loss
to him.

few families destitute of the Bible.
The balance found to be in the trea-
sury 10 be deposited with the New
York Bible Society was $l69.66. Quite
lively discussion arose at this stage
of the proceedings as TO whether the
Vice President for SeafOrd hundred
should donate Bibles to two Union
Sunday Schools that had been started
in school houses within his territory.
1t was contended that these Union
Sunday Schools being composed Of
people of different denominations, gen.
orally failed for the want of that har-
mony which their name implies; that
often they were gotten mp by men who
had rebelled from the church of the
neighborhOOd and who thought to get
up an independent society Of their
own, and that finally there were am
pie church facilities in Sussex county
for all its citizens. On the other hand
it was contended that the Sussex
County Bible Society could not refuse
aid to these Union Sunday Schools;
that it should adopt the spirit of the
Master and go out into the by-waYs
and hedges; that it should aid every
inquirer after truth by giving him the
grand truths contained i'm the Bible,
and that often successful churches had
grown up from the good seed sown in
these Union Sunday Schools. After
these last convincing arguments the
motion to donate Bibles to the schools
in question was unanimously adopted.
The Presbyterian Church at Lewes
was fixed upon as the next place of
annual meeting. The business having
been completed the Society was ad-
dressed by Rev. w. J. DuHadway, of
Georgetown, and Rev. f. c. McSOrley,
of Laurel. Both gentlemen made eX-
cellent addresses which were highly
appreciated by the audiences Rev. J.
5. Willis and John r. McFee, Esq,
addressed the meeting at night.

UNDER the present scedule Of the
Boston Berry Train on the Delaware
railroad the growers of middle and
lower Kent county will be forced to
discontinue cultivating strawberries
as extensively as they are doing at
present. Last year the Berry Train
left Harrington in the early morning;
this enabled the growers to pick the
evening before and pack the fruit
while 1t was cool and haul 1t to the
station aud load it into the cars before
the heat of the day. The train then
arrived in Boston the same night, or
i'm ample time for the following morn
ing's market, which sold the fruit in
about thirty hours after picking.
Now the train does not leave until
the afternoon and growers are COM
PEELED TO pick in the morning and dur
ing the heat of the day, which causes
the fruit to be packed warm and to be
loaded into a car IN that condition. IT
does not reach Boston in time for the
next days market, 1t is therefore car
ried over until the following day, maxi
ing a period of about fOrty-eight hours
from time of picking. This will make
a material difference in the returns to
the growers who have been induced to
go into this business on account Of the
old arrangement of the trains They
will now suffer serious loss and they
think they have a just reason to CONS
plain o. the P. r. n. for making the
