The lecture and social at the
VI. Z. Church last Saturday night

great deal for it. We hear nothing

Church Troubles.

DETROIT, June S.-TwO years and a
half ago Father Kolasinski, pastor of
the Polish Catholic church at St. Al
bertus, was convicted of divers offenses
and deposed by Bishop Borgess.. Riots
followed, in which some blood was shed,
and the whole town was kept in a high
pitch of excitement for many weeks.
KOlasinski finally went to Dakota. He
left be hind him here between five and
six thousand adherents, who formed a
kind of band and vowed not to be con-
tent until their priest was restored to
them. Last week it was announced
that Bishop Borgess. would officiate at
st. Albertus' church June "a. This
caused the KOlaSinskians intense I'M
easiness, they having sworn that the
bishop who had deprived them of their
beloved pastor should never officiate
in his old place. They sent for

he was given remarkable reception

The consignment was then taken
on the same night to Smiths

oharrad With Conspirnn1.

HAzLEToN, Pa, June 9.-Excite-
ment was caused at Freeland yesterday
by the action of Sheriff Prescott of Lu-
zerne county who served wr1ts on nearly
every merchant in the town to require
them to answer charge of conspiracy.
The complainant is George E. Hill, son
of Charles F. Hill, well known real
estate agent of this place. Mr.. Hill
was manager of the Gas company
electric light plant during the recent
strike in the Freeland region. The
Knights of Labor assembly of Freeland
asked the business men of the town to
boycott the gas company unless they
discharged Hill, against whom they had
grievance on account of his having
been employed as coal and iron police
man at Perth Amboy during the coal
beavers strike about two years ago.
Notice to this effect, signed by nearly
all the business men, was sent to the
gas company last November and Hill
was discharged. He now brings suit
in the Luzerne county court against the
signers of the notice to recover DANA
ges. The case promises to be interest
| ing, as it is the most important evel
tried in the anthracite region, as boy
colts of this kind have been very fire.

Lutheran Church vs.. Secret sOoistiss.

MADISON, Wis.,, June 8.-The trien-
NAL general conference of the German
Lutheran church concluded last night,
after a session of eight days. The
most important legislation enacted re-
lates to the position of the church on
secret organizations. Resolutions de-
claring strongly against such organize
tions were adopted and provisions
made for the insertion of the same in
the constitution of each church synod.
Hereafter persons desiring to Join the
church must first sever their connec-
ton with all secret organizations of
which they may be members, and
where present church members are also
secret society members, it is directed
that every measure be reSOrted to ex-
cept communication to induce their
withdrawal from the societies. 1t was
decided to remove to Dubuque, Iowa,

NEW YORK, June S.-R. G. Dun &
Co. in their weekly review of trade
say:
There is a better feeling in bus
mess circles and in some quarters an
actual improvement in sales, though
on the whole the transactions do not
equal those of a year ago. The better
feeling is due in part to the unfaVor-
able weather, and in part also to a
growing impression that no disturb
ing changes in the tariff are likely to
be made this year, but more largely to
the decided Improvement in crop pros
poets.
The outlook as to cereals improves
steadily, so that there is now reason to
hope for large yield of ali grain
except wheat, and for yield of wheat
exceeding 2O0, OOO, coo bushels, or more
than the estimates Of q month ago,
and provided the weather continues
fairly favorable, the annual report a
| to acreage and condition of cotton by

crease of two per cent in acreage with

the prospect is better thar

An Attempted Train Wrsoking,


SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, June 7.-As the
west-bound fast-mail train on the
Memphis route was speeding along at
the rate of forty miles an hour, about
O'Clock this morning, Engineer
George Kitchens observed ahead of
him switch thrown open and stones
piled on the track sufficient to huri the
tain over the embankment into the
James river. The engineer promptly
reversed the engine, applied the air
brakes, and, together with his fireman,
jumped just in time to save their lives.
The air brakes took immediate effect,
and not coach or car was derailed,
thus avoiding what would otherwise
have caused the sacrafice of many lives.
The express car contained a large
amount of money, and the mail is sup
posed to have been rich also. This it
is thought, caused the attempt to
wreck the train. w. w. Pagan has is
sued an order offering $500 for the ap-
prehenSiOu of the Wreckers.
