ments during the day, and the number of
delinquents of this class will be-say fifty.

ing the saloon men who supply it.

ago Architect Paul Mason drew the plans
of the edifice, which Contractor Mcdonald
erected and yesterday turned over to
their pastor for dedication.
New York Congregational Union, dedi-
Gated the building and preached the

earnest Christians, and in the course of
his remarks made a brief resume of the
early struggles of the congregation.
His tribute to Pastor Haskell was well
deserved.

A SETTLEMENT AT HAND.
But the Clerks Are Still at Work
ON the HOboken Banks Books.

''The bank will not lose penny" said
Cashier Goodspeed, of the First National
Bank of Hoboken, to me this morning
Young Hoyt promised to pay back the
money, and he will do it. don't know
how it will be done, whether he will bor-
row it or whether friends will pay it for
him or whether he has it in his possession.
Up to the present time over 5000 have
been paid over to the bank by him, and
another s., 600 is expected to-day"
MI. Goodspeed expects that the family
Will make every endeavor to repay the
bank and the bondsmen. They are not
rich, but it is expected that some of their
influential friends will see the matter
settled
Mr.. Goodspeed said that the idea of a
compromise will not be carried out. Coun-
selor Besson, he said, advised the direc-
tors that such course was illegal, and as
the United States will most certainly
prosecute the young teller, even if they
wished to, any talk of a compromise
would be useless.
A meeting of the directors, President
Lyons, Hoyt's bondsmen and Counselor
j. G. Besson was held this morning. Moth
ing definite was arrived at, but the story
OF the defalcations was told to them.
They left satisfied with their liability and
promised to see to the matter.
On Saturday night the clerks were at
work in the Office and were examining
their books until late hour on Sunday
morning. In reference to the night work,
Mr.. Goodspeed said that each man was
proving his ledger, as meeting of stock
holders and directors will be held shortly,
and it was thought advisable to have all
the books in proper shape.
Have any further defalcations been
discovered?" asked.
Not penny difference one way or the
other has been discovered" replied the
cashier.
l also saw President Syms. He does
| not like reporters and does not mind
| showing his antlpathy for them. He re-
fused to say, in response to my inquiries
whether any further defalcations had
been brought to light Over the com
promise question he was tight as an oys-
ter. He scorned the idea of compro-
mise and said that he had been misquoted
by all the papers. He closed the inter.
view with an inarticulate growl and
walked away.
Hoyt has retained ex-Judge William 7
Hoffman. When the Judge was asked
this morning about the proposed compro
mise. he replied:-
Every effort will be made by Mr.. Hoyt
and his friends to save the bank from loss
NOT in view of legal compromise, but
as a matter of right. AS to to the result
to Mr.. Hoyt, that is matter to be acted
upon by the proper authorities when the
case is before them for official action"

HAVE THEY FOUGHT !?
All Sorts of Rumors About
the Su11iVan-Ki1rain
Mill.
sULLlyAN'S VICTORY DENIED
There Is Report That the Whole
Party Has Been Gobbled Up by
Mississippi officers,

The dispatches that have been sent out
from various sources regarding the Sulli-
van-Kilrain fight display an amusing de-
gree of consistency when compared with
each other.
No doubt 1t was extremely pleasing to
one contingent of those interested in the
result of the battle to learn that Sullivan
had won. as shown by the following de-
spatch:-
BALTIMORE, July 9, 1889, 10 a. m.-The
Americans special correspondent at
Richburg telegraphs that Sullivan won
eighth round"
1t must also have been very gratifying
to another contingent of those interested
in the conflict to learn an hour later that
Kilrain had not been knocked out, and
that the men had just arrived at the bat
tie ground, as shown by this DESPATCH
'RICHBURG, Miss, July s, 1889, 1915
p. m.-The train arrived at $50 this morn
ing. Up to $3.50 a. M. the men had not
entered the ring"
How very much depressed everybody
interested will be when they learn that
the pugilists have been arrested, and the
fight cannot therefore take place. At least
such information is vouchsafed by the
despatch appended
CINCINNATI, July s, 1889, 1874 D. ma
private despatch received here says that
Sullivan and Kilrain were arrested by the
Sheriff across the Mississippi line, who
will not allow them to return to louisiana.
That the fight certainly took place the
annexed dispatches evince:-
NEW YORK, July s, 18S9.-Private ad-
vices just received confirm the Baltimore
ADleTicdn's special stating that Sullivan
whipped Kilrain in eight rounds.
NEW ORLEANS, July s, 1S89.-The excur-
sion train with the fighters and their
friends are expected back in this city
about eleven O'Clock.
The subjoined despatch illustrates the
excitement regarding the fight that pre-
walls, not only in Boston, but all over the
country
BosToN, July s, 1889, 1920 p. m.-News-
paper Row has been packed with human
ity this forenoon and the interest ia the
bulletins from the prize ring has been
much greater than that displayed on the
night of the prohibition election
and equal to that manifested at many
state elections. When a bulletin giving
the report that Sullivan had won was dis
played from the bulletin boards the vast
crowd swung their hats, jumped into the
air and cheered. Sullivan's father,
who appeared on the scene, was followed
by yelling crowd and cheered loudly.
When he finally took a car for his home
in the Highlands crowd of men and
boys followed him on dog trot for some
distance, shouting and cheering.

The Law of Liberty,


Hot weather yesterday did not prevent
a large congregation from listening to
DR. McKelvey's sermon on The Law of
Liberty"
The basis of all good human law, so he
asserted, is found in the second table of
the moral law, "Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself." DR.. McKelvey ex-
plained what law is and the difference be-
tween common law and statute law, and
claimed that in this country we need
statutory law more than common law.
''These human laws are lines of right
and they govern personal liberty" he
said, "and thus it is with moral law. No
true liberty exists outside this line of
right. There can be no liberty where sin
exists"
The Doctor declared that true liberty
was only to be found in the harmony be-
tween our moral nature and the law of
God "a simple obedience to law said
he, may be bondage, as it was in the case
of the Jews and Pharisees, or the simple
moralist or the man of business. A man
may do business honestly and correctly
and yet be in bondage and not have his
liberty, He may be honest only because
he is watched and the men and laws that
watch him are his masters and his liberty
islgone.
The law of liberty is the new testament
principle of the new life in the Gospel of
Christ which frees us from the restraint
of the law. When a man obeys the law
from the heart that is true liberty, and
the result of the harmony existing be-
tween the outer man and the inner man.
Sin must be removed. 1t must not only
be forgiven, but conquered"
The pastor referred to Hoyt, Hoboken's
latest defaulter, and declared that he was
a slave long before he was placed in physi-
cal bondage, because he was sinner, and
no man could be a freeman unless he was
n Christian

IRISH DRAINAGE.
Members of Parliament to Try to Agree
Upon Bill They Can All support.

BIZ Gable to the United Press.
LONDON, July s, 1eS9.-The Irish mem
bers of Parliament, who have been mostly
enjoying vacation for the past fortnight
in the absence of any Irish business in
the House, are beginning to return to town,
and meeting has been arranged for next
Saturday, at which it is expected there
Will be a large attendance of Irish
Home Rulers. The object for which
the meeting is called is to arrange
Drainage bill, which will probably
come up for it's final passage in
the House early next week. Hitherto the
Irish members have been on both sides of
this question, some voting with the gov
ernment and against their allies, the Lib
erals, on the second reading of the
bill, and Others voting against the
government. 1t is felt that
this lack of unity among Irishmen on a
purely Irish question must have a
tendency to weaken the influence of the
party and some harmonious action
is expected as the outcome of the
proposed meeting. The Gladstonian
pressure to bear upon the Irish members

division to induce them to aid in present
ing united front to Lord Salisbury y's
policy to Ireland Their view of this
measure is that it is held out as
bribe to Ireland, and they urge
Irishmen to reject it. While some of the
Parnellites are disposed to reject the
Governments advances with this idea,
the majority say that they could not vote
against a measure which promises SO
much good to their constituents, and then
dare to show their faces home.
The idea with which the Irish members
support the measure is probably best ex-
pressed in the speech delivered in the
House on the second reading of the bill
by Mr.. j. ]. Clancy, member for North
Dublin. He said Ireland was at war with
the present Government.
1t would take all it could get and then
it would not give single bit of thanks.
If England spent twenty millions or q
thousand millions on that policy the re.
suits would be the same as if Eng
land had spent nothing at all II
that system of government were
continued, Ireland would make
England pay the price of the union to the
last penny. If the government proposed
to grant a hundred millions he would not
oppose it.
This speech was greeted with rousine
cheers by the NationaliSts.
