Meetings in Progress in Many OF
The City Churches.
A deep religious interest has been
taken in the meetings that have been in
progress in The various churches, both
white and colored, during the past week.
The New Houston Street Methodist
church was crowded last night. The
services were deeply impressive, and
many sought conversion. At the indie.
pendent Presbyterian church lecture
room a prayer service was inaugurated
yesterday morning, and will be continued
daily at O'Clock. At the various

There is disposition among some peo-
gle TO regard the earthquake as "a vista

who calls the earthquake ''visitation of

surely has this danger passed by, and we
are not to look for recurrence until two

IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
The Gorgeous Uniforms OF the Ger
man Train Officials.

Speaking of the gorgeous uniforms of
German train officials and their number,
Dresden, Prussia, correspondent TO an
American newspaper says: Chief in
plumage and Importance is the station
master. With mis- bright red military
cap, dark blue coat with brass buttons
every where that button can stick,
velvet cuffs half up his arm, and panta-
looms to match coat, he carries the dig
nlty or the government and does nothing
but oversee.
A train carrying $50 passengers is a
neavy one; there will be at least tour
conductors, all in green and gold military
uniform. Then there is the porter, almost
as brilliant as the station master. He does
no manual work except taking passen-
gers light traps and caring for them { for
a iee). Then on every train is a resplen-
dent official, the starter, distinguished by
a brilliant red satchel, carrying his time
uook. de has his time of arrival written
IN by every station master, and starts the
train. Then the post Office official at
every station has his scarlet plumage.
and rarely less than three uniformed men
TO run the little go-cart carrying the mail
from his office TO the tram. With US one
good-sized boy would do the work of all
four.
The CHIEF does nothing but strike atti-
tudes and look as consequential as posi-
Die, after the station master. Then there
Is man specially employed to stick
httle stamp on your ticket if you stop
over Al station and oe to you II you
omit this formahty). But perhaps the
funniest sight of all to one used to the
baggage on Long Branch or Saratoga
tram Is 10 see the handling OF baggage; it
looked as If six men licked stamps tor
every package; and with ten pieces there
were red, blue and white papers checked
and handed around as if it were state
affair. The truck was in itself load; so
there were four men to lift these ten
pieces on, one at the handle and one to
shoVe-sIX full-grOwn men struggling
with this load to the baggage Garland
even then gray headed fellow had not
seen trotted alongside TO see il the count
was right. AT every station is also tele-
graph operator, not one OF whom have
seen take message during the time L
have been in Germany.
Imagine this troop of officials running
or standing about every train! You
would think, when it was time to start,
one man could do it; but, no. there are
hVe separate operations. First, the
starter blows or whistles as a signal to
the station master; the latter makes
dlgnltied wave of the hand TO an official |
have not noted before, the bell-tapper;
the Taper gives three taps, never more
or less, or off goes his official head; then
the starter blows whistle for the en-
glneer, who blows his whistle, and we 90
in solemn decOrOusness.
