In relation 10 the proud Mrs. D'Width's
peculiarities which were considerably
removed from the complimentary, and
would have surprised and shocked the
leader OF fashion and society could she

The poor clerk was discouraged by
his failure TO make a sale. He was
weary Of these efforts OF women TO de-

tsPEc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE D1spArcu.l
NEW LONDON, CONN, October ia
few months ago Fred B. Manning, of the
Morning Bulletin, saw an advertisement in
Chicago paper for lost printer for whom
a fortune was waiting. He recognized the
name as that of a disgusted young
tramp printer who had worked on
the Bulletin, and communicated with the
family. he received letter in reply, en-
closing S15 with which to pay the young
mans fare to New York City, where his
mother lives, as soon as he should again ap-
pear in the Bulletin office. Two
weeks ago the printer turned up in
Mr.. Manning's Office, but not in condition
to understand the message that the gentle
man had for him. Before he could be got
in condition, he left town, and although he
was recaptured again and again, vet he
could not be persuaded to take the S15 and
go to his mother, home and fortune.
A few days later, however, he promised to
90 to the home he had not visited for wears.
He kept his word, and is now in New
York. He has received a payment of &c.
600 already due. His annual income from
his fathers estate is 81, SO0 His mother
has S75, 900 worth of property, and this wan
dering sot proves to be an only son and the
sole heir to over $3.50, 900.

A MINING COMPANY In TROUBLE.
The Treasurer Refuses TO Allow the Books

The Treasurer Refuses to Allow the Books
to be Audited.
BOSTON, October 19.-There is decided
embarrassment In the affairs of the Honerine
Mining Company, of Utah, having an
Office at No. 113 Devonshire street.
The auditors, Mr.. Howe and Charles
Keveney, have repeatedly, during the
past two months, requested the books
from the treasurer, j. H. Murray, but it is
said that they have been stoutly refused
their lawful right to investigate the stand
ing of the company. Mr.. Keveney, as a
last resort, recently appealed to one of the
heaviest stockholders OF the company
Wilson W. Fay, stock broker
at No. State street. AT meeting of the
stockholders al Portland Me-, some time
ago, Mr.. Fay was instrumental in the ap-
pointment of committee to investigate the
affairs of the company. 1t was thought bv
were not all right, and an investigation was
necessary and demanded. Mr.. Fay said
this afternoon:
have decided no longer to allow certain
men holding the books of the HOnerine Min
ing Company to refuse to place them in
the hands of Mr. Keveney, the auditor. They
have bulldozed us long enough. l. as holder
OF 4U,UOU snares OF tne STOCK, demand Lnab the
report of certain significant rumors be proved
true or false Many believe there is trouble,
and if any State prison ofense has been com
mitted we must know it.
The case was reported to Superintendent
of Police Small this morning, and the de-
partment will render all the assistance pos
sible. The Treasurer, Mr.. Murray, is en-
ployed as a clerk in the office of Bradley.

FIGHTING FOR CHURCH PROPERTY.
OppesIng Factions Of the United BrefhreI

OpposIng Factions Of the United Brethren
Engaged In an Important Contest.
CHAMBERsBURG, October 19-An equity
suit was begun here to-day between the two
factions of the United Brethren Church,
which has been prepared as test case, and
will in all likelihood decide the ownership
of hundreds of valuable church properties
in this and other States. The suit Is between
the rival claimants to the church property
In this section and the test case has been
made up upon the church property at
Green Castle. The complainants in the
bill are those who uphold the action Of the
majority Of the General Conference Of the
United Brethren Church in the United
States, which was held in York, Pa, in
May, 1889, and the defendants are the Sc
ceders from that conference and their repre-
sentatives here, who withdrew on account
of the adoption of revised constitution,
which allowed members of secret societies to
become members Of the church.
The anti-secret society faction has caused
considerable trouble in this section of the
State, having asserted their claims by force
in half dozen instances, and serious trouble
has occurred at Clay Hill and Green Castle.
The brethren came to blows in those places,
barricaded the churches against each other,
and number of arrests were made, but all
have agreed to abide by the result of the
present equity SUIT and to settle the criminal
prosecutions. Similar suits have been
brought in Ohio, Illinois and Canada, but
the one here is regarded as the most import
ant of all, and one which will be regarded
as decisive all over the United States. The
best legal talent in this section is engaged
by the factions, and the case will attract
much attention.

Convention In Boston.

Convention IN Boston.
NEW YORK, October 19.-The American
Federation of Labor has issued the official
call for its fourth annual convention, to be
held in Boston on December10. The circular
hints at the unifcation of the scattered
forces of labor, and congratulates the feder-
alton on withstanding the combined attacks
OF capitalists and politicians" and espe-
cially the s'secret Vaccinations of
conspirators within the very Gordon of
the camp of labor" meaning the
Knights of Labor. 1.-THE time has
now arrived" the circular says, "to openly,
calmly and fearlessly assert the claims of
labor" On the subject of the eight-hour
movement the circular says: 'It now be-
comes the mission of the Boston Convention
to transform the agitation which has be-
come world wide, into an organized move
ment for its realization" The circular also
says that reckless and so-called 'sympa-
thetic' strikes are disastrous" and warns
laborers generally against participating in
them.

vention is one delegate for National and
International Unions with membership of
less than 1000, two delegates for every 1000
or more, three delegates for 5000 or more,

NEW YORK, October 19.-The last num-
Der of the Herald Of Life, published by the
Life and Advent Union of Springfield,
Mass, contains the following notice:
The forty-fifth anniversary of the going out
OF the church to meet the Lord in October,
1874 will be observed by the Adventists of Vir-
glnia from October to October 2 Qnclusivel,
1889. This meeting is called because the evl-
dences from the prophetic word warrant
us In expecting our Lords return at this time.
The meeting will be held at tScreamersville, Va,
where the Virginia mission tent is now pitched
and will remain. All our brethren who are
looking for the Lord and desire TO meet with
us are invited. Brethren coming from the
North will come via PENNSYLVANIA Railroad

A considerable delegation of Connecticut
AdventistS, headed by Elder r. c. Brown,
of New Britain, have Joined the Virginia
watchers, and are now making the hills and
wales of Screamersville resound with their
hymns.
This is the way the Screamersville delega-
tion have figured out the time of the ad-
vent: Matthew 11iv:15 speaks of the set
ting up of ''the abomination of desolation."
This is thought by the Screamersville dele
cation to refer to the establishing of the
temporal power of the fope, 554 A. D., when
the third enemy of that power was defeated
Daniel 81. In Daniel xii, II and II.
blessing is pronounced on him that waits
from the setting up of ''the abomination of
desolation" until the end of ], 1876 days.
Adding 1.335 years to 554 gives 1889, the
present year. This particular time of
the year is selected because it
is believed that. as the crucifxion
occurred at the passover and the gilt OF the
Holy Ghost at Pentecost, the second advent
must take place at either one or the other of
the two autumn festivals, the Feast of the
Atonement or the Feast of the Tabernacles.
The former falls on the 10th day of the 7th
month, or in our chronology, October 5, and
the latter from October Is to o.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, October 49,
Many years ago. George Wsickoff took unto
himself wife. Years rolled on and George
eventually went to work in the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul shops at South Mime
apolis. Both husband and wife by
this time were past the prime OF
life. They resided in q comfortable
dwelling house in the vicinity Of Fort
avenue and Lake street. The husband con-
tinued to ply his trade, but his wife Joined
the ranks of Christian Scientists and began
practiclng Christian Science healing. she
was so imbued with the spirit of the doctrine
she practiced that she finally found her
husband was not her "soul's affinity
At first the exact whereabouts of her
kindred soul" aid not become revealed to
her, but not for long was she allowed to
grope In darkness. As light from heaven
the truth flashed upon her, and she found
her souls affinity" in the person of one
Henry Bratsch. Henry is no longer q
youth, having passed his 40th year. By
beside George Weikoff in the railroad shops
of South Minneapolis. He is "well heeled,
being reported as owning property valued
at $40, 900. Most of it lies in the city limits
of St. Paul. He boarded at 3028 Fort
street, South Minneapolis, with the
Weikoffs.
Although Henry has passed the age of
sentiment his fellow workman's wife, who
rejoIces in the name of Henrika, cast the
spells of her Christian science over him and
he fell ready victim to her wiles. He be-
came, or claimed to become, believer in
this strange doctrine. The truth suddenly
dawned upon him that Henrika had the
other half of his soul. The truth had not
long been revealed to them before they be-
came two souls with but single thought"
AN OBSTACLE REMOVED.
The only difficulty in the way OF the con-
summation of their faith presented itself in
the inoffensive husband. But now this trife
has been removed, and they are free to prac-
tice their beliefs, so far as George, the hus-
band, is concerned. Henrika Weikoff
owned a house and lot on Fort street,
and to satisfy her husband she mortgaged
this property for the sum of 5000, $500 of
which she paid her husband, he agreeing to
sign deed Of separation releasing her from
all matrimonial control in consideration of
the sum above mentioned, and yesterday
Henry Bratscn paid over $500 to Weikoff.
All the necessary papers were drawn up
BY well-known attorney of this city. As
security Bratsch took the mortgage on Mrs.
Weikof's property, and all the parties are
now happy.
Mrs. Weikoff has two grown-up children.
One Of them is young man, prominent
member of secret society. Mrs. Weikoff
will shortly institute proceedings for di-
vorce from the legal husband, and the eli
max of this strange story will occur when
the marriage bells ring on the occasion of
the marriage of Henry Bratsch to Henrika
Reikoff. All the parties to this strange
aSair were interviewed this afternoon and
admitted its truth.

Carnegie, Phipps & Co.'s Employees Don't
Desire "a Pay Days In the Year.
A meeting was held yesterday afternoon
at Paterson Hall, Lawrenceville, BY the
employees of Carnegie, Phipps & Co. s Lower
and Upper Union Mills, to consider what
action should be taken in regard to the new
pay system that the firm has adopted. After
considerable discussion, the men determined
to petition the firm not to change the pay
DAYS.
1t has been the rule in these mills to pay
every two weeks, but the company now pro-
poses to change this system by paying the
men the first Saturday following the 18th
and 28th of the month. This method, the
men assert. will considerably embarras
them. Instead of receiving their money 26
times in the year, they will only be paid "a
times.
Another inconvenience, the workmen al
lege, is that by adapting this new system at
some periods Of the year, three weeks will
elapse between pay days. The meeting was
prolonged, and good deal Of perturbation
was manifested at the firms action.

FIRE ALL AROUND.
Fierce Forest Fires Raging In the Neigh
borhood of New NOrIenns-Great
Damage Already Caused and
the End Not Yet
in Sight.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.I

In Sight.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
NEW ORLEANS, October 19-The drouth
for five weeks has started forest fires, some
thing very unusual here. There are two
large fires raging near New Orleans,
one on the west side of Pearl river,
in St. Tammany parish, La, the
other east of the river in Marion
county, Miss. The st. Tammany fire has
been burning for nearly two weeks, pro-
crossing very slowly but iercely, consum-
ing everything in its way and extending
some 15 miles in length between Florenville
and Abita. 1t has pretty well destroyed the
pine forest there, and is now spreading to
the agricultural section ofshe parish.
Some of the farmers have tried plowing
with success as means of preventing the
spread of the flames to their farms. The loss
will be heavy, not only in lumber but in.
cattle, as the fire will burn the
grass upon which thousands of
cattle for the New Orleans market
are fattened in winter. The fire in Marion
county started only two days ago, but has
been more rapid and destructive. The
country contains some of the finest yellow
pine forests in the South, and is given up
altogether to numbering and the manufacture
of tIrpentine and rosin.
The forest extends for 100 miles in every
direction, and unless heavy rain falls to
stop the flames, the loss will be very great.
A light rain fell on both the fires to-day,
but had no effect whatever.
