Impeding the Running of Trains.

a dispatch from Chicago says: There was
a report yesterday morning at Cummings
that the Rock Island read would move four
cars, loaded with nails made by the new
men OF the Cummings Nail-Works. AS sew
eral strikers had been enjoined from inter.
fering in any way with tho working of the
mills the removal ofthtse cars was prevent
ed in a peculiar way. Ten o'clock was the
hour when the engines were expected up
from South Chicago, and before that honr
women and children, to the number Of 200,
wives and families Of former employees, as
sembled with sticks in their hands around
the terminus Of tho railroad tracks and
onposite to the entrance of the nail.works.
They first proceeded to the residence Of Thomas
Bother non union man, who was making ar
rangcments to leave the place, and finding his
wife alone, stoned the house and made other dis
orderly demonstrations until they were dispersed
by the police. The cry was then heard that the
trains was coming, and there was n rush to where
the loaded cars were standing. Mothers with in
flnts in their arms and dragging youngsters by
the hand, hurried along. All ages were represent
cl. The mothers grouped their little onos along
the track distance ahead OF tho first freight
car and packed them according to age on tho rail
the youngest towards the approaching engines,
the mothers and growu-up daughters taking posi-
ton in tho roar. The engine steamed up slowly,
but seeing tho living obstacle Oh thctrack reversed
and returned to South Chicago. Then the Amazons
dispersed, and on their return iecred and abused
the representatives of the company at the gate,
calling them the most opprobrious names, the
police by their presence only preventing the in
Fiction of violence by the infatuated women. At
2 o'clock when the engines snpeared again fully
two thousand women and children were throng-
ing the tracks, and apparently as determined as
before to hold them. Capt. Hunt, with sixty
policemen fon Hyde Park, had reported in the
mean time and attempted to clear the tracks, but
could do it only with great difficulty. The women
feeling sure they would not be clubbcd refused to
move, or moved very slowly when told to do so,
and closed up again on tho tracks unless abso-
lutcy held by the officers. The engines were un-
able to get by Them without killing thcm. The
greatest excitement prevailed, and all attempts
made to move tho cars proved futile.

Novel BOYCOTT.

ROCKFORD, Ill.,, June 5.-There is consid
cradle of sensation here over a novel boy
colt which has been inaugurated. Some
days ago Mr.. Leonard, President of the Leon
ard Ice Co., signed, with others, an applica-
ton for liquor license for Mrs. Henry,
a respectable lady, who has kept a restau-
rant for Is years. The prohibition paper
publishes the application and tho names of
the signels, and when the members OF the
Womans Christian Temperance Union saw
Leonard's name, letter from their score
tary was received, in which it was stated
that as long as Frank ]. Leonard had signed
a liquor application they would be obliged
to discontinue taking ice from him. Mr..
Leonard has now replied to the letter in
which he says he has donated more to tho
Woman's Christian Temperance Union than
all profits on ice they have taken OF him,
and he adds: II thank the Lord 1 am not
dependent on any institution that makes
boycotting its basis of operations. The
time may come when you will wish to get
ice from US, but if this is your plan of work
l would sooner throw it into the river than
sell it TO YOU" The temperance ladies are
greatly agitated over his reply, and it is
said all have determined to enforce the boy
colt vigorously.

PIEDMONT coNVOCATION.
CORRESPONDENCE of the Alexandria GAZETTE

CORRESPONDENCE OF the Alexandria GAZETTE
The 39lh semi annual meeting of this Con-
vocation was held at Fairfax c. II. on We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday of this week.
The clergy present were the Rev. Messrs.
Claiborne, Dashiell, Gray, McDonough,
Moore, Frank Page, Sharp, Wallis, Ware
and Cole, missionary 10 Japan. Religious
services were held every night and morn
ing. OF these the most interesting was the
missionary meeting of Thursday night. Ad-
dresses were made by the Rev. Dr. Da-
SHELL, Of Richmond, on Diocesan, and by
the Rev J. Thompson Cole on Foreign Mis-
sions. Both were stirring and calculated to
impress the congregation for good. DR..
Dashiell briefly recounted tho work done
by the Diocesan Society towards planting
churches in new fields, and the restoration
of the waste places, where there were once
flourishing parishes. He showed the i'm
portance, as we'll as the privilege of doing
all in cur power to aid our weaker breth-
rem, and carry our beloved church where its
services have never been heard.
The Rev. Mr.. Cole gave worry interest
ing account of the religious and general
condition Of Japan. He said that wonder
full progress had been made in the arts and
sciences, and that the nation was rapidly
following in the wake of Western civiliza.
ton. The religious state Of the people was
critical. Buddhism was practically thing
of the past. The next twenty years would
decide the issue whether Japan would en-
brace Christianity, or have no religion at
all. The whole empire was open to the
missionary, the word of God had free
course, and in many respects prospects were
encouraging.
The business meetings Of convocatlon
were held on the mornings and evenings OF
Thursday and Friday. The reports from
the various parishes told of faithful work
and steady growth. A resolution was
passed authorizing the President of the con-
vocation to appoint services for congrega-
tious without q rector within its bounds
Each minister is TO be at his disposal for one
week during the year for such services
This rule is the more necessary as there are
| no evangclsts now appointed to visit vacant
parishes.
The hospitality of The good people o.
Fairfax Court House was unbounded ; and
we can assure them our sojourn in their
| midst will long be remembered with pleas
| ure.
For the benefit of those who do not know
we would say in closing that the convoca
tons are voluntary organizations of the
clergy of this diocese, held for mutual con
suItaton, and advancing the interests of the
church. They are also Of the nature of &
missionary society," and materially assist
weak parishes within their bounds, as well AZ
contribute to the foreign field.

SOME OF the people of the District of Co.
lumbia have petitioned Congress to reduce
the tolls on the aqueduct bridge. With
just as much reason might they ask Congress
to reduce the fare on the railroads crossing
the Long Bridge. But as the House OF Rep
resentatives has shown by, the passage OF
the oleomargarine bill, that it would, if it
could, entirely destroy some sorts OF private
property, the people referred to doubtless
think it will not hesitate to reduce the value
of other sorts.

Dear comrades of the bonny blue,
Who fought and suffer, brave and true
Here rest the boys who died for you,
And for their country's cause.
They sleep so peacefully at last,
The strife of battle over past,
Where shot and shell in fury fast
Laid our brave heroes low.
Walk softly, here's our holy dead,
Strew lightly flowers over head
The places where our footsteps tread
Are consecrated ground.
Hero rest the comrades tried and true
Who wore their pride, the heavenly blue;
The martyred boys who fought with you
For Freedoms sa red cause.
For God and truth end Union sweet.
They marched to death with willing feet
They walk to-day tho golden street
Of Paradise, in white.
They fought whcro kissing shot and she'll
Like leaden rain about them fell.
Mid battle flames, red fires of hell
Manglcd and wounded there.
To-day the flag for which they died
Floats over all our country wide;
To-day tho boys with fearful pride,
Honor our fallen braves.
Above their vernal graves to day
With hands cnclaspcd the Blue and Gray,
MAY faithful souls" they softly pray
Departed, rest in peace
In Heaven the gallant boys in Gray,
From golden battlemcnts to-day
Look smiling down and swcetly say,
"God bless tho boys in Blue
In Heaven to-day the boys in Blue,
Our comrades tender brave and true,
Look smiling down and say to you.
God bless the boys in Gray
Walk softly then comrades dear,
Our noble boys lie sleeping here,
Celestial hosts arc lowering near,
In heavenly armor bright.
God bless the boys in Blue and Gray
The psalm of peace they chant to-day
"All faithful Souls" they softly say.
Departed, rest i'll peace
"In Heaven" they chant tho voices sweet,
All hearts and hands in union meet,
The Blue and Gray each other greet,
With pure fiatcrnal love.
o. white winged Dove of heavenly rest
Let thy glad presence fill each breast,
May souls who stood the battle test,
Departing, rest in peace.

Now THAT the U. 8. House of Represent
atives has passed bill to prevent the adul-
teration of butter, it should pass another
one, to prevent the adulteration OF liquor.
Oleomargarine, save the danger of trichlna,
is inuoxious; but much of the stuff that is
sold as whiskey, brandy, beer and wine, and
that is used to adulterate those articles,
is rank poison, aud deadly, if drunk moder-
ately continuously, or if much of it be drunk
at one time. Bad butter will not kill nor
render insane those who eat it, but insanity
or death, either sooner or later, is the doom
ed fate of those who drink bad liquor.
