The stock of the Kindling Wood factory
took fire the evening, of Oct 20, about $40
z. NJ, covering the entire roof of the fac

A MILLION
GiYen BY M. Hand to Negroes Through
the American Missions.
How a Faithful Steward Made His
Master Rich.

PROVIDENCE. Oct 20.
At the afternoon session, after remarks BY
ID. o. Means, ID. D, of Worcester, the fol
lowing resolution was passed amid great en-
thusiasm with rising vote
Resolved, That We recognize the good
| ness of the Almighty God in putting ii into
the heart of David Hand to make magnif
cent gift of more than million dollars fol
the education of the eolored youth of the
south, TO be expended under the direction OF
the American Missionary Association. We
rejoice in the flood of beneficient influence
which will flow through all the years from
this noble service. We gratefully accept
the trust put upon US, promising to use il as
stimulus for increased activity on the
part of the Christian church.
The doxology was sung and prayer of
thanksgiving was offered, after which the So
ciety adjourned TO the chapel for its annual
business meeting, while the body of the
church was gwen up to the meeting of the
Woman's Bureau. Hand is 81 years old an
engaged in business in the South, where he
lived since youth till the war broke out when
he came North because OF loyalty. In the
North he gave his attention to the
investment of his securities which
were very productive. He has long
contemplated in giving the bulk of
his means to benefit his fellowmen. He in-
tended at first to give it TO some Northern
Institution, but his attention was turned TO
the wants of the negroes of the South, and
as he knew their prvations on account of
their ignorance he decided to make tlem his
heirs through the agency of the American
Missionary Association.
AT business meeting the following Off
GERS were elected for next year: President
VIM. NJ. Taylor, ID. d., LII. D., of New
York; corresponding secretaries, NJ. E. Stri-
by, ID. d., 56 Reade street, New York. A.

LOOSED THE CAT,
Seems to be Bayard's Opinion OF Lord
Sackville's Action.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25
Secretary Bayard made statement today
to the associated press in regard to the letter
of Murchson of California to the British
minister on the subject of the pending pres
idential election, and the British minister's
reply. He said that Lord Sackville has no
other or better means of knowledge of the
intentions of the President than any one
of the 10000 900 American people. His
personal opinion is worth no more than that
of'one of them, on the ground of knowledge
and much less on the ground of interest in

Afraid OF British Assistance.

While we must be conscious of the opn-
ion as to the improperly of the expression
of individual views by any one holding the
position of foreign envoy, it is still to be
hoped we will be able to settle the issues in
volved in the pending canvass without the
importation of foreign interference or in
termeddling in our domestic affairs.
The American people will be
prompt to resent and repel as
impertinent any such attempts, but they will
easily recognize the political pitfall arranged
by the California letter with its object so
plainly stamped upon its face and addressed
to the British minister, into which he has so
surprisingly tumbled. Such petty schemes
TO break the fall of despairing politicians
will be held in proper estimation by popular
intelligence.

The political correspondent of the Herald,

enough to say that cleveland will get very
small share of the republican vote he re-

true, but We have not before seen it admitted

There is an interesting story back of Dan
iel Hands gift of a million dollars to the
American Missionary Society. When the
war broke out he was thriving wholesale
grocer in Charleston, 5. c. He was forced
to leave hurriedly and left his property in
charge of his clerk, Geo. Williams, telling
him to use it t, the best of his advantage till
Hands return. Hand supposed the proper
ty had been confiscated by the confederates,
and made no inquiries for over twenty years.
He was greatly surprised to learn that Will
liams had sold the Charleston property and
invested the proceeds in pine timber lands
which had increased in value to
a wonderful degree and Williams faithfully
neld the profits in trust, waiting to hear from
Hand In 1887 settlement was made and
each man cleared 81 ,000, 900. A settlement
of the property and arrangements for the
gift were conducted by Judge Luzon B. Nor
ris. now Democ cratic candidate for Govern
or of this state.
The Association adjourned tonight after
listening to addresses by Rev. ID. O. Mears,
Worcester, Rev. DR.. Rehrends, Brooklyn
and stirring address of parting by Presi-
dent Taylor. The next meeting will be held
at Chicago.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SETTLED
The Giants" Win Gloriously-Buck
Ewing and Keefe at their Best.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. %
The worlds championship series between
the St. Louis and the New Yorks was settled
today by an overwhelming defeat of the St.
Louis by the Giants. Buck Ewing's
allround work is largely responsible for the
Browns defeat not only in this game but
throughout the series. His presence in the
team today went far toward securing victory,
as he not only caught Keefe in mastery
style, but batted out home run in the first
inning and with three men on bases in the
third inning sent them all home on three
bagger to centre which Herr friehtfully mis-
judged.
Keefe never pitcne in better style and
was magnifcently supported. The New
Yorks have clearly outplayed the Browns in
the series and deserve their big triumph
