ARGUING THE CASE.
The Assembly Church Controversy Be
fore the Presbytery.

When the Washington city presbytery reas-
sembled this afternoon, Dr. Sunderland went
on with the reading of his argument in the
Assembly church case. He did not finish till
$50 O'Clock. He made a strong plea, on moral
grounds, that the church should pay
this claim. It was never too late, he said,
to right wrong. He complained Of the long
continued apathy of the church on this subject
When, he asked, had the church ever set out to
adjust this matter or get it out of the way on
its own notion To adopt the theory
that the church did not owe this money
and never received any benefit from it, would
ne SAID, place place a stigma upon the men who
had contracted the loan. In closing he de-
clared that if the presbytery voted now to de-
clare the church not liable for this amount and
left Colclazer In poverty, without the means of
livelihood, it would involve itself in scandal
and disgrace.
THE SIDE OF THE CHURCH.
Mr.. /. G. Kimball, in opening the argument
for the church, briefly recapitulatedit its history
The church was built by subscriptions raised
by the late Rev. J. C. Smith, and
presented to the presbytery free of debt.
In 1858 Rev. Mr.. Caruthers, who had been
a ,protege of Mr.. Smiths, was in
stalled as pastor. At that time the
speaker said DIR. Smith had confidence
In Mr.. Caruthers. Mr.. kimball said that on
the part of the church, he denied
that any money was due the
pastor when the loan was made in
1859, and he would deny also that any por-
ton of this loan was used for the benefit of the
church. MIR. Kimball was speaking when The
STARS report closed.

A SALT TRUST NOW.
1t has a Capital of $50, 900, 900 and Will
(or,aplntolxr loufrol

Completely Control the Market.
DETROIT, MICH, March 1S.-A special from
East Saginaw says: The formation of salt
trust now seems to be assured. C. F. Burger,
representing the eastern manufacturers, en-
gagged in the formation of national salt trust
came here in January and had a conference
with the manufacturers at the annual meeting
of the salt association, but no conclusion was
reached. Subsequently the president and
member of the executive board
of the Michigan association visited New
York. Investigated the situation. and a PROPOSE
ton for the formation of trust, the basis Of
which was the purchase of all plants operated
independently of saw mills. the pro-
duct controlled by the Michigan association
and manufactured i'll connection with mill
plants, to be turned over to the national
trust at stipulated prices. This propo-
stiOn was laid before secret meet
ing of Michigan manufacturers last week
in this city, and the members present voted
to 20 into the trust, mn the basis
proposed. The idea is to shut down all works
where fuel costs so much that there is only a
narrow margin of profit, and the product of
each district to be regulated by the area it can
control. this being of course, regulated by
freight rates.
Burger is now here. and the details of the
trust. syndicate. IL is called, as preferable
to trust" are being arranged. The entire salt
producing territory of the country will be in
cluded in the trust, which is said to have
capital of 5.0OO, 600

An Alligator Knocks Out Steamer.

From the Palatka (Fla.) Herald
The steamer Comet came down from Crescent
City this morning with her bow stem broken
and several planks sprung. 1t seems that while
coming around sharp bend in Dunn's creek,
known as Danger point, she struck a huge alli-
gator, which is claimed by the captain to have
been about Is feet long, This creek connects
Lake Crescent with the ST. Johns river and is
famous for its floating islands, which are COM
posed of bonnets, water lilies and such other
vegetation grow in Florida. The Comet is
in the habit of running into these floating is
lands without checking her speed. The captain
noticed that this particular island was rather
large, but paid no attention to it, for an opposi-
ton steamer was crowdihg him and he could not
afford to check up. The boat struck the floating
island with terrible force, breaking her bow
stem, as above stated, and shattered the boat
considerably. The passengers were terribly
frightened, and the ladies ran about asking in
pitiful tones for help and it took several minutes
for the crew to quiet those frantic passengers
An investigation was made. The creek was red
with blood and the snorting in the water ter
rife. 1t turned out that the supposed island
was nothing more than huge alligator, whose
back was covered over with bonnets and water
lilies, resembling an island, obstructing the
hide of the saurian from view. Instances of
this kind happen quite frequently on the river,
but it is the first time to our knowledge that a
steamer was ever so badly damaged as was the
Comet. The Comet will be repaired to-day and
resume her route tomorrow.

WOmen's Works in Fiction.

From the Springfield Republican.
1t is women who write most of the English

that could be named, tempt women to write
many poor novels and some good Ones the
majority being mediocre. however, or neither

weight of years and he moves with slow step.
His bride is a child. She says she is sixteen
years old, but those who know her say she is only
twelve. Her face is thin and PALE Her dresses are
short and scarcely reach her shoe top, and her
figure is slender. This morning she wore an

gested a trousseau was a new pair Of shoes.

them q charivari tonight, but instead they
made the pair an appropriate bridal present.

The Most Secret i'm Existence.

THE CARBoNARI, ITALY's REVOLUTIONARY So
CIETY, TO MEET IN CHICAGO.
Chicago Special to the New World.
The United States branch of the italian reyo-
lutionary association of the Carbonari will hold
its annual convention here Tuesday The open
name of the Carbonari in this country is the
Mazzini Benevolent association. The Carbonari
is perhaps the most profoundly secret organi-
cation in the world. Only Italians,
or their children born in other
countries, can become members and only
those who can read and write are eligible to
membership. In the United States none but
voters admitted = Because of these oualifi-
cations there are no Neapolltans and very few
Sicilians to be found members of the Carbonari
A candidate for admission TO the organization
must be known to a member for five years. and
should he prove himself unworthy within six
years his sponsor is expelled. By this method
every member can be relied upon at all times.
The Carbonari is benevolent association, be-
sides being revolutionary. 1t takes care of the
sick and pays widows a thousand dollars
Every member is a republican, and the pur-
pose of the society is to work for a republic for
Italy similar TO that of the United States. 1t is
therefore, under the ban of the present Italian
government, although general of the Italian
army and a member of the kings cabinet are
members of the society. Who they are is only
known to the members, and they will keep the
secret: The Carbonari follow the lines laid
down by Garibaldi and MaZzini, and the son of
the great liberator is a member. In Italy there
are 800, 900 of Carbonari. The United States
branch contains 100 locals, with about ten thou
sand members.
Delegates from all cities where there are
Italian colonies are either now present or on
their way hither. Two delegates are in this
city from Genoa, where are the headquarters
of the Carbonari. Next year there will be an
international convention in Genoa, the city
ofs Garibaldi, to which delegates from Amer
lea will be elected. One of the chief ofiicers
of the Carbonari in this country, Victor
Maggi, from New York, believes that an italian
republic must come in a few years, and that
any attempt by the government of that country
to reestablish the temporal power Of the pope
will hasten the event

HIS REMARKS IN COLoRED CHURCH IN RICH
MoND RAISE A BREEZE.
In an address at the First African church in
Richmond, Va, Friday night, DIR. Justin d.
Fulton, of Brooklyn, said LET the black man
go to work and make money, and then he will
be recognized" He said he had seen black
man go into a church in the north and people
turned up their noses in scorn at him. Soon
it became known that the negro was worth
100000 Many Of those who had scorned him
Immediately sought his acquaintance. Let a
black man have money" said the doctor, "he
can buy railroads in Georgia and other states
where the negro is not allowed equal privilege
with the whites and then the former can say to
the latter: Now, if you don't behave yourself
1 will put you off my train" He desired to
see all the colored people have nice homes, and
nice wives and clean children, so that when he
came to Richmond again to speak to them he
could stop at their homes. On concluding, he
announced that he would preach at the First
Baptist church, Sunday night, by invitation.
The deacons of this church met Saturday, after
reading the doctors remarks, and unanimously
decided that the church would not be open to
him Sunday, consequently the doctor did not
preach there

CONSOLIDATING WESTERN ROADS
A Scheme i'm Which the c., III. and ID.
Plays a Leading Part.

CINCINNATI, March 13.-The Enquirer this
morning says: A new scheme of railroad con-
solidation is in progress of development in
which the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
plays the leading part meeting OF Its dlrec-
tors was held Saturday afternoon. Messrs.
Sidney Milton and Henry l.. Taylor, OF New
York, were present
The lines to be taken into the consolidation
as at present planned are the Cincinnati, HAM
ilton and Dayton system, with 324 miles run
ming from Cincinnati to Toledo and to Indian
apOlis, with several branches; the To-
with 45O miles running from Toledo
to East st. LOUIS the Wheeling and Lake Erie
extending from Toledo to Bowerstown, 10 miles,
with II mile branch from Norwalk junction
to Huron, Ohio, and an extension from
Conversion to Wheeling, via Steubenville,
now in course of construction, making
total mileage of 237 miles. The fourth
line is the Dayton, Fort Wayne and
Chicago, with 25S miles, the main line running
from Dayton to Honton, Ohio, and the Chicago
division. from Dayton to Delphos, Ohio, where
it connects with the Toledo, st. Louis and Kan
City road. The plan contemplates the
building of about forty miles of road between
Indianapolis and point on the Toledo, st.
Louis and Kansas City, which gives through
line from Cincinnati to st. Louis.
The Chicago division of the Dayton, Fort
Wayne and Chicago road is now narrow gauge,
but it is to be made standard. The proceed
ings of the directors of the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton and Dayton road On Saturday afternoon
were not made public. 1t is believed,
however, that among the matters consid-
cred was that of issuing of bonds to
provide for certain improvements and to take
up the s2,OOO,OOO AZ per cent bonds outstand-
ing, the mortgage to secure which rests on the
Cincinnati, Richmond and Chicago as well as
on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton prop
erty, the purpose being to rid the Cincinnati,
Richmond and Chicago of that incumbrance
before its transfer to the Pennsylvania COM
pany, to which it has been sold.
