the calamity occurred One ef the staid mem-
hers of the church learned of the project, and,
further, that his daughter had been selected to
play Yum-Yum. Now, he had seen the opera
once when he had strayed into a New York thea
ter under the impression that il was q mission
airy meeting, and he recalled that at a certain
stage IN the play the Japanese belle is gathered
upon the knee of Nankl-Poo, and that q good
deal of interesting kissing at once ensues. The
memory of this appalled, the gentleman, and he
shuddered as he thought of the possibility that
that scene had been faithfully enacted at manner
Gus rehearsafs. Really it was intolerable. The
pastor was consulted. It isl not definitely known
that he had not seen The Mikado," but the
deputatlon proceeded upon the supposition that
he had not, and explained to him the shocking
positions in which the young people would be
thrown if they should perform the piece. The
minister at once saw that no one could hope TO.
preserve a Christian character If he or she in
dulged in the indiscriminate marks of affection
enjoined upon the choristers and principals.
Furthermore, there was such strange dancing,
the deputation said, the real purport of which q
civilized community could not discover, but it
was presumably bad, considering its heathenish
origin. It was finally concluded that the stage
business of THE Mikado' was hound to exert an
evil influence upon the minds of the young, and
that the projected performance must be given
up. This is accomplished, not by the direct vote
of the church, but by the concerted action of the
parents and advisers of the members Of the
young comic opera company.

WAGES OF COLoRED oN-WoRKERS.
A Flat Contradiction of Some of the State.
ments Made at Pittsburg by Mr. Blaine.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. 21.-Hon. James
G. Blaine, in his speech at Pittsburg, yesterday,
referred to Chattanooga as a point in the South
where colored laborers are paid &C and 70 cents a
day. The Daily Times, commenting on his
speech. says:
Careful Investigation here reveals the fact
that the lowest wages paid to colored laborers in
any industry is 80 cents per day, and this rate
covers only a few at the South Tredegar iron
works. The greater number of colored men at
these works receive wages running from 81 to SO
per day, with q large number at the intermedi-
ate rates of $l.25 and $1.50 per day.
In every case where skilled colored
men are employed as heaters, puddlers,
helpers, etc. they get exactly the same wages
as white men do for the same work. Colored
laborers at the CHATTANOOGA furnaces get 81. Is,
ST.. 80 and So per day. according to the skill, re-
sponsibility, etc., required to fill the various
places in which they work. These are repre-
sentative Southern industries. What we say of
Chattanooga in this regard applies to Birming-
ham, Knoxville. and other places. Colored boys
in the South Tredegar nail works, working as
feeders, make from 70 cents to 81. 25 per day, ac-
cordine to the skill and industry displayed in
their labor. Some colored men make as high as
81 Der day as puddlers and foundrymen in this
section. We may say. generally, that the scale
runs from ST. to 81. so for the great mass of col
ored men working in Southern manufactures.

The Fire in the Ohio Penitentiary.

COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 2L-A fire occurred in the
Ohio penitentiary at an early hour this morning.
1t was located in the northern portion of the in
closure, in the middle row of shops. The Ere
had its origin in the shop of the Columbus
Wheel and Bending Company, owned by Eberly,
Killain g. Co., most of the firm being residents
Of Pennsylvania. At the north is located the
cooper shop; on the cast the chair shop of the j.
w. Damn Company, a building similar in size
and construction to the wheel shop. On the
west of the. wheel shop is the Gill foundry,
and at the south the hoe shop. All
of these are fine brick structures, filed
with expensive machinery and fine stock. thus
making the fire the center of much valuable
property. To add to the danger the eas-works
and large reservoir were located Immediately
east of the chair shop, tine distance separating
all of the building s being merely narrow streets
or passage ways. The prison fire department
were unable to accomplish anything, from the
fact that the stand pipe did not give the requi-
site pressure. The city department. did not
reach the fire for half an hour after the build
ings were we'll burning. There was but one to-
tally destroyed, and two others were partially
burned out inside. The total loss will not reach
over 500, 600, and it is about half covered by in
SurGnce.

LABOR MATTERS.

Louisville Switchmen Ask an Increase of Pay,
and Attempt to Cripple q Road.
LOUISVILLE, Oct 2L-A committee Of the
Louisville & Nashville switchmen from the
yards of both the main stem and the Louisville,
Cincinnati 6 Lexington division, presented to
General Manager Harahan, this morning, a re-
quest for an increase in pay. He stated to Them
that the matter would have to be preser led to
the superintendent of their divisions, who
would give their requests consideration; that If
favorably acted upon their requests would be
referred to him by their own officers, and a
prompt reply given to the men direct. The
committee left, apparently satisfied, and no
trouble developed during the day. When the
night yard force came on, a number of the men
refused TO work, and without further notice to
the managers began to interfere with those at
work, trying TO prevent the making up of freight
trains by pulling the coupling pins. The chief
OF police at once sent men to protect those at
work, and there is no serious interference with
the business of the road.

smuggling on board the training ships Saratoga

lecting from the officers the duties Oh the con
traband articles found by the inspectors, who
have been on board the vessels ever since
their arrival, and to the possession
of which they had severally made declaration.
The duties collected amounted to $500. The
money was not paid without protest, but was

ships came from Lisbon and Madeira, and de-
scribed the places on board the vessels where

AN ABANDONED PROJECT.
Brooklyn Methodism Declines to Counter
ance 'eThe Mikado."

Brooklyn MethOdism Declines to Counter
ance THE MikadO."
New York Special.
There is japanese sorrow in the Fleet-street
Methodist Church, Brooklyn. There is hearty
American JOY In the rest of the community, and
both emotions are due to the same cause. A
prospective performance of The Mikado" has
been abandoned by the edict of the church elders.
Away back last spring the young people connect
Ell more or less firmly with the church organiza-
ton at the house of one of their num-
Der 20 sing. They had a leader and lots OF music
books, and soon became reasonably proficient in
the rendering of opera choruses. The deacons
made no especial objection to the early work Of
the little choral association; they shifted suspi-
ciously at airs from Hermann and Guy Man.
nering' when they hoated out upon the street
from the parlor where the young people were in
dustriously at work. The elders could not say
that they observed anything really wrong in the
airs themselves, but they thought that Ham
burg" or Mortified" or "Old Hundred" would
be safer. So things might have run smoothly
enough had not ambition seized the association.
1t was not enough that the singers should enter
tain themselves in a parlor; they must 60 before
the public and demonstrate their merits. At
this juncture some unbalanced mind in the asso-
citation suggested that "'The Mikadon was the
opera best adapted to their abilities, and it was
chosen without more ado. Rehearsals progress
ed bravely. 1t had got so far that negotiations
were IN progress for q hall and printing when
