Repairs upon the Cony House stable are
nearly completed, and it will be one of the
finest buildings of its kind east of Boston.
All the work has been done in the most
thorough manner, and the office is surely one
of the most finely finished and sumptuousiy
furnished in the city. The stable is per
feet horse palace.

Fred Priest, boy about thirteen years of
age. at work in spool factory at Dover,
Tuesday, had his arm caught in belt and
so badly lacerated by the accident that it was
necessary to amputate it. Why would ii not
be a righteous thing for owners of mills 10
erect guards or coverings 10 protect all
belts, wheels and gears of mills and facto-
ries in exposed places, when in operation.
Such could be provided at moderate cost,
would not interfere with the running of the
machinery, and would save much human
suffering and loss of limbs-even of lives.

Work has again commenced on the Gsga
street extension in Stspleton. The steep
part of the hill is being graded down and
the deep gully filled up. Three new houses
are now in process of building in this thriv-
ing, sunny and pleasant borough of our city.
Two years ago it was pasture; now it is one
of the most desirable and pleasant parts of
Ward one, and in such near proximity to the
business centre of the city as to be very de-
sirable for homes for busy working people.
Sixteen or seventeen new houses have been
built there and most of them are occupied.

THE CHRISTIANS PEACE,
The Pulpit of the United Ohar
 OccunIed hK RAE. S. H. DRna.

The Pulpit of the United Church Occupied by Rev. s. H. Dana. Rev. s. Fl. Dana, D. D., of Quincy, III. preached at the United church yesterday morning to a fair congregation. He took for
 his text, Luke X, 21: F'In that hour Jesus re-
 joiced in spirit" Our sayior's life and pas-
 sion, his mission of peace and good will, is commonly declared and believed to be 50 sad, solemn and serious that his joy and re-
 joicing are quite lost sight of and are seldom
 referred to. The text in the original lan-
 guage, and as confirmed by repeated parallel
 passages, brings to view the continual joy of
 our savior's life. To leave heaven, his eter- nal home, in the bosom of the father, sad as it may appear to Us, we know by the rendi- ton of his word and spirit was glad going forth. Thus he becomes our perfect example in joy and rejoicing, so far exceeding the pain, suffering and disappointment that in closely following our master we live as seeing him, unaffected by earthly trials save only to increase our present and eternal happiness,
 his sinless life, his changeless purpose, uner-
 ring wisdom and Gods holy spirit in it's full
 ness in Jesus, made him rejoice while he bore all our human suffering and woe. The
 gospel furnishes only few years of Christ's
 history on earth, yet it tells of his work and of his character in his youth, showing sym
 metry, health and divine perfection. Con-
 stantly doing good, believers on him increased in number.
 Many striking illustrations of Christ's per- feet happiness on earth were instanced.

The District of Columbia commit tee expect to secure tomorrow in the House fer the consideration of District business. The general deficiency appropriation bill will be called up for action early in the week, and a lively debate it expected upon the sec tions which make provision for payment of the French spoilation claims. The appropri- ations committee has nearly completed the Notifications appropriation bill and intends to report it in time for action by the House, immediately after the passage of the general deficiency bill. The evening sessions during the week will be devoted to the consideration of the bills of private nature.

OLD SOLDIERS GREETINGS.

Survivors of General Harrtson's RegI-

 IKD1AEAPoLIs, July 22.-'I think General Harrison must have received letter from nearly every one of the survivors of his old regiment and two or three from some of them, said D. s. Alexander who is serving the general as secretary. Letters from near- ly all of the military men of prominence in the country have been received and all of the officers of the generals old brigade have con- graduated him on his nomination.
 Not less than 600 old soldiers have given expression to the greatest devotion. A sample letter is the following, received to- day:
 WATERvILL.E, KAN Please accent the compliments of old soldier of your regiment on your success was sick nigh unto death in hospital No. 4. Gallatin Tenn, and you visited and comforted me. nave always re- membered 1t with a grateful heart, etc, etc:
 of Company c. Besides the military letters the feature of the generals correspondence is tue generous support professed by the commercial travel- CTS. Many letters are received from com mercial men who happen to be stopping at the same hotel. One of these joint letters came this morning from Utica, N. Y. The writers (twenty-two in number) express the belief tn at of the BOG, ,000 commercial travel CTS in the United States at least seventy-6ve per cent will vote for Harrison and Morton. The shorthand and typewriter methods have enabled the general to catch up with his cor respondence and the bushels or letters that arrive daily.

Dlsagreelns Knights of Labor.

NEW YORK, July 22.-The disagreement in district assembly No. 49, Knights of Labor, caused by the conduct of Master Workman Quinn, which Master Workman Powderly came here to adjust some time ago, has at last culminated in split. At the meeting at Pythagoras Hall to-day Quinn refused to open the proceedings unless four men whom he had expelled for insubordination left the room. As they declined to go Quinn and his friends departed and established themselves at 9s Forsythe street, taking the charter with him. Delegates from 137 local assemblies went with him, and those from S7 assemblies remained. District assembly No. 49 owns Pythagoras Hall, but Quinn's opponents are in majority in the board of trustees and they hold he fort. George Dunn, who is the leader of the opposition, is strong pro- tectionist and Quinn is neutral, believing in the abolition of competitive protection re- gardless of the tariff. This was another bone of contention, and it is expected that Dunn's men will come out for protection.

 ST. LOUIS, July 22.-Information has been received from Crittenden county, Ark, 10 the effect that the grand jury, which has been investigating the baaishment of eighteen ne- groes by an armed organization, hes made it's report. The report is in the return of nearly forty indictments. The grand jury found that anonymous notes had been sent to number of white men by negroes, giving the whites five days to leave the country. Upon receiving the threatening epistles the whites met armed and escorted out of the country the negroes implicated. Among those who received notice to quit the country within five days were Col. J. F. Smith, tha leading merchant of Marion; Sheriff w. F. Warner of Crittendsn county; J. H. Stevens, black smilh; l.. P. Berry. lawyer, and s. o. Nosby, 8 former magistrate of Marion. The grand county clerk, one of the eighteen ne- groes banished. The office was opened and fragments of anonymous notes, which, evil deutly, had not seemed 70 be satisfactory, were found on the floor. Experts pronounce the handwriting to be that of J. W. Ramsey, young South Carolina negro in the employ of the clerk. The immediate motive for the sending of the warnings was found in the fact that Ferguson and D. W. Lewis. the negro County Judge, had been indicted by a former grsndjury for habitual drunkenness, the penalty for which was removal from office. The intention was to create a reign of terror and break the force of the prosecu- ton. Furguson was one of Arkansas dele- gates to the Republican Convention at Chi cago. He was serving his third term as clerk of Critenden county, an office worth $6,000 per year. The testimony before the grand jury was highly sensational
