National Counon of Lutheraus.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The national council
of Lutherans organized by electing DIR.
spaetb, of Philadelphia, president, and by
electing German, English, and Swedish
corresponding and recording secretaries.
The vice presidents Of the convention are
the presidents Of the various synods of the
country. The work of the session began
with the report Of the committee on foreign
missions. A resolution was introduced
asking the czar Of Russia to grant the
Lutherans Of the Baltic provinces the same
privileges they had under the sczar's father.
The resolution will be forwarded to the
American minister at st. Petersburg. The
council then set to work upon the compile.
tion Of "the order for ministerial acts,n
revision Of the old Lutheran Church book.
The book, as published by the church book
revision committee, was accepted aud re-
vised as far US the address to the confirmed
in the confirmation service. The morning
was mostly occupied in discussing the ad-
visibility Of a phrase in this service which
gives the newly-conflrmed the privilege OF
standing as sponsors for children to be bap-
tized. 1t was objected that many of those
who were confirmed were too young to
assume the responsibility Of godfather and
god.mother, but the expression was finally
adopted. This afternoon foreign and do
mestic missions were discussed.

New York Jourunll

New York Journal
The pearl fisheries of the gulf have been
famous for many years, especially In
the seventeenth century, in which, and
the eighteenth, over 800 divers were en-.
ployed, who obtained about $4,000 an
nually. But as no system was observed,
and the shells were taken indiscrimlnately,
the supply gave out, and for a number OF
years was practically nothing, says the Sau
Francisco cal. This forced respite al.
lowed the shells to grow, and now the
pearl farms are again being worked with
their old vlgor, and Will, of course, soon be
exhausted again. The pearl business Is ut
present practically under the control OF the
government, which farms out the different
localities to private parties, who in turn
have divers aud vessels.
II would be supposed that some care
would be taken not to overwork the farms,
but this is not the case the government al
lowing them to be sacked year after year,
each tenant or lessee striving to obtain all
they can--in other words, the preservation
OF the bed is ignored and the future is left
to take care OF itself. On these farms ma.
tiyes OF Central America are generally EN-
ployed, as being the best divers. Some are
unprotected, wsile many use rubber ar
NOR. The business has nothing attractive
about 1t, and the old and enticing pictures
representing the diver wandering amid
forests Of richly.hued alge and picking
pearls from open shells are delusIons aud
enares.
An outfit consists OF large boat, carry
Ing half dozen divers, under the control
Of captain or boss. This is sailed to the
location Of the farm, and the men, In their
suits or naked, holding n rope and basket,
are lowered or rather hauled to the bottom
by stone, and they commence the hunt,
and often are killed or half strangled be-
fore they return. The work on the bottom
consists In breaking off the shells and load
ing them into the basket, aud a single
days work of party is perhaps three tons
of shells.
On an average every nine hundredth one
will contain pearl. AS to the methods of
pay, they vary. In some cases the men are
paid so much per dav; again they work on
shares, and the pearl money is divided
among the men, the shells going to the
vessels-in many seasons By far the more
profitable part Of the catch. The season Is
confined to less than three months, aud
owing to the depth of water-about forty
feet-and storms the actual working time
is much less.

New Arrangements to Establish q

New Arrangements to EstRb iBh q
Through Southern Connection.
The latest railroad project credited to the
Baltimore and Ohio management is thus
stated In the Rail,vay Register:
There Is well authenticated rumor that the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad has got control of
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail
road. with view to establishing through
southern connection. Its plans seem to be To
reach the gulf through the coal and iron fields
around Birmingham, Ala. There will also be
western connection to this system, from So.
Louis or Kansas City, and probably through
A few months ago the East Tennessee road
was thoroughly reorganized and put upon a
solid solid basis; IL Is now Learned ned that this was was
Valley road through Virginia, which Is owned
by the Baltimore and Ohio, now reaches only
70 staunton. 1t is soon to be extended to meet
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia road
somewhere near the Tennessee aud Virginia
line.
Mr.. Garrett, It is well known, has secured
TO Birmingham and Pensacola These ar
rangemenls were u part of Mr.. CARROTS busl'
ness in Europe, whence he lately returned
The purchase OF the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia road secures an important link
The route is said to be over the old line direct
to Salem, Ca, thence to the iron and coal
mines Of Birmingham, Ala, and to Pensacola
The object OF extending Its lines so far south
Is to get an open and direct route to the Cult
of Mexico, which is now blocked TO the Balti-
more and Ohio by the Richmond and DAN
vile syndicate President Garrett has made
an agreement with some capitalists, who are
TO locate large blast furnaces at Birmingham
by which the Baltimore and Ohio is to have
all the northern iron traffic from that place.
The extension will be begun in the next
thirty days. II is proposed also to connect this
line with Kansas City, but just how 1t is to be
done the secrecy of the Baltimore and Ohio
makes it difficult TO ascertain. II may be re.
garded as certain, however, that Kansas City
VIII haye another southern connection, and
that the Baltimore and Ohio has an eye on the
this new line are to be completed within two
years.

hO Nlsltb OEnhnh ana Llkeb inc ClCy.
[omaha Republican,
United States Senator A. p. German, of
Maryland, arrived In Omaha Sunday after
noon and remained until last night, when
he AMI his party, consisting Of three
daughters, his son, G.. T. Gawbraith, and
Capt. /. P. Dukehart, departed for the east
in their special Baltimore and Ohio car, the
"Delaware." The senator is q courteous,
stout gentleman, with clean shaven,
Thoughtful face that betokens the law
maker and stateman. He is travelling for
pleasure and In no hurry about returning
to Congress- halls;n has been west for the
first time in his life; does not want his va
cation disturbed by business; and, above
all things, don't want to talk politics. II
refused to talk on politics to the Chicago
and San Francisco reporters and l must be
excused now," he said to reporter who
tried to interview him at the Paxton. 81
am simply enjoying myself and will be
suited II get back to Washington by the
time Congress reconvenes. My party-I
don't mean my political party-goes where
whim directs. We have been over the
Northern Pacific to the Yellowstone; to
Washington, Oregon, and to San Francisco,
Southern California, and the Yosemite
Valley. We have come to Omaha direct
from Frisco on the Union Pacific. SO we
have seen great deal OF country and gained
a fair idea OF what the west looks like.
Omaha pleases me very much. There seems
TO be great deal of building going on, and
] notice many evidences Of large public
improvements"
During his stay in the city the senator
was called upon by large number Of
citizens who share his political belief, and
yesterday afternoon he was given an In
formal dinner at the Omaha club, at which
festivity the young Democracy were con-
spicuous In point OF numbers.
This was the first time that Mr.. German
had ever been farther west than Chicago.

MISS BAILEY's TRANCE.
A Young Lady, Apparently Dead, Re-
wives and Tells IA wondrous Story.

wives and Tells wondrous Story.
[Haverhill (Nfass) special.l
Mics Melinda Bailey, young unmarried
lady, has for some time been residing 10 the
family of Ralph Sargent, at Merrimac.
She has been very III recently from nervous
prostratlon, brought ON by nursing her
mother through long aud fatal illness.
Sunday she grew rapidly worse. A clergy
man was sent for, with whom she conversed
for some time, apparently perfectly con-
scious OF her critical condition and fully
prepared to pass to thegreat beyond. Soon
after the clergyman took his leave abe grew
rapidly weaker, and at last lay peacefully
back on her Led and to all appearance
seemed to be dead. AS the doctor lived
nearly six miles off, and her dissolution was
somewhat expected, no attempt was made
TO summon medical aid especially as to all
appearances rigor morts had set In. The
limbs grew stiif, and except for the fact
that the flesh retained its natural color to
some extent, there was no unusual appear
ance. After the body had lain In this state
for some time, neighbors coming In, the
grave clothes were brought out and prepara-
tlons made to prepare.for the last sad rites.
Suddenly light perspiration broke out on
the body, and with n long drawn respiration
the vital spark, which seemingly had long
been exhausted, famed up once more, and
to the surprise and horror OF those gathered
there, tho supposed corpse sat up in the bed
and surveyed with half-dazed eyes the
mourners gathered around. The first word
i, uttered by any OF the party came from the
dead-pliye, who, with tremulous accents,
said:
"Ah, heaven Is beautiful place, and
should have been so happy to have staid
there, but / so longed to see my brother and
sister once more"
AS soon as possible the room was cleared
of the wondering spectators and the doctor
sent for, who found his patient rather better
than on his previous visit the day before,
and since that time she has, to all appear
ances, steadily improved, eating viands
which heretofore she had been utterly un-
able to relish, and converting with those OF
her friends who have been allowed to see
her in much firmer tones. During the last
two days Miss Bailey has been somewhat
deranged.

SHE BROKE JAIL.
"A Female shoplIfter Too Smart for
Her Keeper.
TDitfeI,,,r, 20


[Pittsburg Gazette.]
Mollie Hoey, Of New York, one OF the
most noted shoplifters In the United States,
broke Jail at Cleveland last Wednesday
evening She was under arrest for stealing
an Indian shawl valued at $3.50, having been
caught in the act. The escape was very
clever piece of work. The woman, during
her two weeks OF imprisonment, was con-
tinually quarreling with the other inmates
OF the jail, which caused them to shun her
during recreation time In the main cor
ridor, which is on the first floor. BY this
means she succeeded In making hole in
the brick wall at the side of window
leading to the street without being de-
tected. This exit allowed her to pass
10 the outside OF the bars on TO the win
dow sill. The bricks were carried to the
fourth tier OF cells and placed In one that
was unoccupied. While not at work an
oilcloth OF the same color as the wall COW
cred the hole. She took with her a boy,
confined for a petty offense, who watched
the turnkey while she took out the bricks,
1t is more than probable that her husband,
Jimmy Hoey, who is also under arrest here
but is out on bail, had a hand In the de,
livery. A buggy was in readiness outside
the jail, and the fugltiyes drove rapidly
away before their escape became known.

Fierce Fires in the Blue mountains.

READING, Pa, Oct. 22.-During the past
few days fierce fires have been raging in the
Blue Mountains, which separate Berks and
Schuylkill counties, and tonight the re.
flection Of the flames can be seen many
miles distant. In consequence of the
drought the wood is unusually dry and the
flames make rapid progress, notwithstand-
ing the fact that many farmers are fighting
the fire to prevent its spread to the orchards
and farm buildings at the foot of the noun
tains. 1t Is estimated that between 1000
and 1,200 acres Of wood land have been
burned over, and the loss In timber thus far
is estimated ot $4,000. There has been no
loss of life, though many narrow escapes are
reported.

Another Effort for the Condemned An

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-One OF the counsel
for the seven condemned anarchists stated
to-day that another motion for new trial
would be called to the attention of Judge
Gary, on the ground of newly discovered
decisions, which, 1t is claimed, show that
the instructions Of the court were im-
proper, which held that man who melted
an offense by speech or writing was to be
held equally guilty with the actual per-
petrator Of the deed. 1t is claimed that as
the term has not expired the court can
grant the motion.

THE MARKETS.
Various stocks Suffer from the "Ham-

mcring" Process,
New YORK, Oct. 2.-The stock market
to-day showed more strength in the morn
ing hours, which was aided specially by the
buying Of Lake Shore, Louisville and Nash
vile, and Reading by houses with London
connections. The improvement continued
until well into the afternoon, when a COM
bined attack was made upon the coal stocks,
as well as Canada Southern and Texas Pa
oific, and the gains Of the morning were en-
tirely wiped out. Jersey Central was again
the special feature, though its business does
not bear so large proportion to the rest OF
the market as 1t has OF late. The Northern
Pacific group Of stocks were notlceably
firm In the face of the general weakness
upon the prospect OF an adjustment of the
difficulties between the different compa-
nies. Western Union was also noticeably
firm under good buying. .
The traders were prominent In the ham
mering process to which Jersey Central was
subject to In the afternoon, although other
stocks suffered equally heavy. The news of
the day wa meager and had very little effect
upon values, the IN irket except in the first
hour having much the appearance OF
traders market. Prices were carried down
below the opening fgures before o'clock,
and fractional rally succeeded In bringing
final prices small fractions above the lowest
OF the day, the market closing quiet and
steady.
