FIREBUGS IN DARIEN.

The Methodist Church, Stores and
 Dwellings Destroyed by Fire Recently.
 A record of fires, unusual and appall- ing for village of it's size, has convinced most citizens of Darien that they have a frebug, and an extremely active and vicious one, among them. The Methodist barns have gone up in flame and smoke, and abortive attempts to exterd this vile industry have served to keep alive the sus- picions and apprehensions of the people. Last Saturday night the barns and outbuildings of w. R. Lockwood were burned to the ground, and the same night tenant, who rents the rooms over Whitney's shoe store, observed light in Whitney's barn, but supposing that the proprietor was there with a lantern, paid little attention to the matter, or to the circumstance that man ran across the door-yard shortly after wards. The next morning Whitney took his horse for an exercising drive, returned, ate his breakfast, and it was not till after all these proceedings that he discovered that smell of burning hay, which had been prevalent all the while, came from a heap of smoldering ashes in one corner of
 his barn. The fire had nearly burned it.
 self out, but still gave evidence of the
 work of the incendiary. The ingenuity
 and malignancy of the criminal are mani. fested by the facts that Lockwood's build ings are mile distant from Whitney's and the attention of the citizens would have been distracted between two fires Whitney is an amiable man, who is not
 known to have an enemy in the world.

Rev. A. R. Days Appeal Sustained-A
 'ChiIdren's Day" Provided For.
 PHILADELPHIA, May 3o.-Dr John w. Dinsmore presided at the Presbyterian assem- bly's devotional exercises. The attendance was small. A general feeling of lassitude began several days ago to make itself de cidedly felt throughout the proceedings, and 1t is quite evident that the effects of the long session have made themselves felt on the commissioners. Every effort was made to facilitate the passage of business, in order that the immediate adjournment sine die of the assembly might be effected, if possible. The report of the committee on bills and overtures was read and adopted.
 The judicial committee read its judgment on the case of the appeal of Rev. A. K Day against decisions by the presbytery of Water loo and the synod of Iowa. The appeal was sustained, and the case referred back to the presbytery. After some desultory remarks by Dr. Wells, the report was finally adopted in its entirety, by vote of SS to 40.
 The afternoon session was devoted to ths discussion of the report on foreign missions Up to the hour of recess all the sections but the last had been adopted The approved portion provides that the first Sunday in June of each year, beginning with 1889, be known as ''Children's day." and as such be celebrated; also for the establishment of mems missionary societies and women's mis- sionary societies
 An assistant secretary of the executive committee on foreign missions was appointed in the person of Rev. D. c. Rankin. of the North Mississippi presbytery, at a salary net to exceed s1, 500. The present secretary and treasurer are reappointed. It is recommended that $1OO, 900 for foreign missions be raised during the ensuing year.

Cnrtis nn Cixil seryice Reforn,.

NEW YORK, May 3O.-A large audience in Chickering hall listened to an address by George William Curtis before the National Civil Service Reform league, at its annual meeting, the subject being: "The Reason and the Result of Civil Service Re:orm." MT. Curtis said that though political bosses hate civil service reform, he ventured to predict that of the two national conventions soon to be he.u, one would praise the president for fidelity to it, and the other would denounce him for his alleged sins against it. The fact was that the reform was never so deeply rooted as now. The present administration had not fully realized the hope formed in re- gard to the reform, but had done much as compared with the practice of the past MT. Curtis closed with an eloquent reference to the season, one of decoration of the graves of those who died, not for party, but for country, even as all should live, not for party, but for country.

 A resolution of sorrow for the dangerous illness of Gen. Sheridan, and eulogizing his services to the union, was unanimously adopted.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
The Order to Be Extended Into Rhode
 Island and Massachusetts.

The Order to Be Extended Into Rhode
 Island and Massachusetts.
 The progress of the Knights of Colum- bus in this state, within which the order is now strictly confined, has been so great that the board of directors have been applied to by gentlemen living in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, asking permission to form councils in those neighboring states. The directors will hold their last quarterly meeting of the year in New Haven on next Tuesday, at which time the question of granting charters to said applicants will be one of the topics for discussion. As a matter of fact there is one council of the order flourishing in Rhode Island at pres ent, and this was brought about in rather a peculiar way. A short time ago the head quarters of the council located in Stoning- ton, Conn.,, were destroyed by fire, and there being no other place available, noth- ing suggested itself but to cross the river and rent quarters in Narragansett. The Narragansett council has been so liked in the little state that the chartering of new coun- cils was next in order. The date for hold ing the next annual state convention will also be decided upon at the directors meet ing.

Prohibition Club Ruled Out of the
 Grand Army Decoration Day Parade at
 Indianapolis.
 INDIANAPOLIS, May 30-There is trouble between the delegates to the national Prohi- bition convention and the Grand Army. The local committee of the former had arranged to have Decoration day proceedings cut short in order that the delegates might appear in the parade to the cemetery, and had also ar ranged that an auxiliary organization of the element known as the "Blue and the Grayn should take part in the cemetery exercises They forgot, however, that the rules of the Grand Army positively forbid any political organization joining with it in observance until reminded of it by Grand Marshal Shaw Mir. Shaw has letter from Assistant Adjt. Gen. Walker, in which the latter said, among other things:
 It has been stated in the public press that an organization, branch of one of the political parties, that will hold it's national convention in the city, styling itself the Blue and the Gray" contemplates taking part in the parade of the Grand Army before going to the cemetery on Memorial day. The published interview with of the national leaders of this party says the delegates of this political party will be accorded a place in the procession and to join in the memorial exercises at Crown Hill. It is doubt less unnecessary for me to call your attention to the fact that the rules of our order positively nrobibit spH nf} tfahner whatever in any exer. cises of the Grand Army of the Republic. Ths Blue and the Grays" would have no more right an organization, to join our memorial services than the Hendricks or Harrison clubs would, nor delegates to the national convention of this party than those to St. Louis and Chicago The Grand Army canuur po uscu paw to serve the interests of any political organization whether they sail under the nom de plume oi 'Blue and the Gray" or some other convenien. cognomen.
 Supplementary is an order directed to the marshal to see that any breach of the rules of the order be prevented Notice was served accordingly on the Prohibition national com mittee. The delegates were greatly incensed, many saying they would follow the proces- sion as individuals
