STILL THE WORK GOES OK
EHAHGELTsT MILLS M1DE LOTS or
CONVERTS LAST MONT.

Many ClergyinenLayere on the Platform OF
the Bergen Reformed Church at the
Revival Meeting---Hrr. Mills Tells a
story.
Lots Of converts were made at the Ber-
gen Reformed Church last evening by
Evangelist Mills. All prayed either for
themselves or for somebody else, and not
a few went away with lighter hearts than
they had entered with. There was not
such a well dressed crowd as on other
evenings, but the people were just as
much i'll earnest.
Only a few women wore bright colors,
and there were no white silk bonnets as
there were on Tuesday night, when the
most earnest wo~rshippers were dressed in
the l0udest colors; in fact, one of the only
pieces of white seen was an ivory and lace
fan, welded by q finely dressed woman
with the skill of a Spanish enora
That fan has waved to and fro at all the
other meetings.
THE CHURCH STILL CROWDED.
The church vas almost as crowded as it
was on Sunday. AT former meetings
there were generally about five women to
every man last night the men prepon-
derated. The platform of the church was
crowded with visitors, among whom were
Rev. Mr.. Hathaway, Rev. Mr.. Brett, Rev.
Mr.. Ellison, Rev, Mr.. Weston, Rev. Mr..
Meury, Rev. Nj. Wright and Rev. w. w.
Knox of First Reformed Church of Bay
onne. The first hymn ung was "Calling
for Thee The chorus was repeated even
times. This was followed by 81 Will
Mr.. Mills then announced that there will
be a serxlce for young people on Sunday
morning at the Westminster Presbyterian
Church, and the same services will be held
in the afternoon at the Bergen Baptist
Church. Sunday evening will be devoted
to a service for men only, for which tickets
were given out last night. There will also
be a service for ladies Sunday afternoon.
II SERVICES.
The Rev. MI. Knox made the opening
prayer, last evening, and MIR. Mills then
announced in clear tones the text. 1t was
from Isaiah I, So: 'Let the wicked forsake
his way MI. Mills, after quite q long
and eloquent sermon about sinners in
general, told a story about
A LITTLE SINNER.
81 have a little niece named Dolly" he
said. ''She was making a short visit to
her aunt's home, and after dinner, one
day, she was asked if she would take a
piece of pie.
NO said Dolly, my ma don't like me
to eat pie
After being praised for obeying hel
mother nothing more was said until the
next day, when, after dinner, her aunt
said:
81 suppose you do not want pie,
Dolly?'
".Oh, yes!' exclaimed Dolly, 4 want
pie
"sBut you told me yesterday that your
mother did not want you to eat it,
but | didn't like that sort Of pie, was
her answer
After the services Mr.. Mills asked those
who wished to remain to seat themselves
in the adjoining lecture room, and aftel
about 300 people had gathered there, he
closed and locked the doors, and then with
his voice quiyering with emotion, he made
a short prayer.
Everything was very simple and earnest.

The Columbia College Glee and
Banjo Clubs gave a fine concert in the
Tabernacle last night under the
auspices of the Mems Guild of Grace
Episcopal Church. The glee club
opened the concert by singing a
beautiful chorus. All the voices were
In excellent shape, and the members
acquitted themselves well. During
the evening they sang "a Tale Of
Vice." an amusing piece; 'sThou Art
Ny Own Love- March, !" "Keepin de
Middle Of de Road" and ''Amice."
The solos in the selections were sung
by Mr.. P. E. johnson. At intervals
throughout the evening the
Banjo Club treated the audience to
some splendid airs on the banjo. Prof.
Bradford Williams is a genius and his
limitations of prominent speakers were
immense, especially the imitation OF
the lecture delivered in the Brooklyn
Tabernacle by DR.. Talmage in answer
to IngersolIs evolution lecture. He
also initiated Edwin Booth, Lawrence
Barrett. Henry Irving and John Nc
Cullough. His description of Lord
Dundreary's Christmas Feast" was
very amusing.

Fire in a Factory.

A fire, which might have assumed
alarming proportions, was cleverly ex-
tinguished by the fire department in
Meyenberg's silk mill, corner Of Third
and Clinton streets. A swing gas
bracket came in contact with a loom
and set fire to some silk which was
being worked upon it.. A large blaze
was in progress when box SO called the
fire department, which responded
promptly. Owing to the expensive
nature of the stock, chemical extin-
guishers were used, and the fire soon
was under control. The damage to ma
chinery and silk in course of manu-
facture will be heavy, but has not at
present been estimated. Nobody was
Injured and work will go on tomorrow
as if nothing had happened. A large
quantity of manufactured silk ribbon
was DESTROYED.

they might have been stolen. Up to

A Strike Among the Debris

A BIG RIOT is ANTIC lPATED'
The Bodies of a Mother and Her
Two Children RecOveEed--ln
Death Undivided.

Associated P ress Dispatches to the HERALD
JoHNsrowly, June 20.-A strike anon
the laboring men here is fairly on. I'M
morning not 1000 men were az WORK
The dissatisfaction is spreading to othe
workmen. Over-bearing bosses, shor
rations, for which the men are made tt
pay literally, are the grievances.
The military is ON active duty. A com
rono of the Fifth Regiment has beep
ordered out.
While everything appears quiet on the
surface, there is fear that a riot will fol-
low. A largely attended meeting OF
strikers was held this morning. A COM
mitteee of twenty was appointed to con-
fer with the men at work, and find out
the exact number in sympathy with the
strikers. This committee will report to
another meeting to be held at noon
Three carloads of Italians arrived this
this morning. The committee Of the
striking Italians persuaded them not to
leave the train until the strike is settled.
They were side. tracked, and will be fed
by che strikers.
The committee appointed at the morn
ing meeting reported an hour later that
ali the foreign workmen had quit work.
Five bodies were recovered this morn
ing. among them mother and two chill
dren. The children were locked in the
mothers arms.
THE STRIKE DEVELOPING.
I'D nd
many of them were Immediately buried
after being completely covered with oil.
The stencil is growing daily mere
sickening and unbearable. The
first clear day here since the awful
calamity found work among the ruins
practically suspended and upon the same
ground where the havoc was so recently
wrought, capital and labor are wrestling
in bitter and threatening earnest, and
the quiet, subdued feeling which pre-
vailed since the food is giving
way to one of unrest, discord and
danger. AS yet there has been no open
outbreak, but repeated breaches OF the
peace have occurred during the day, and,
tonight free fight occurred in which one
man was probably fatally hurt.
THE IDLE GETTING DRUNK.
All the idle men who can get intoxi-
Gated are drinking tonight. 1t has been
announced tonight that the strike which
began this morning has been declared
off, and thousand or more
men have been paid and dis
charged, but the discharged men as yet
refused to aban don the place; and the
authorities have announced that all
idlers must leave early in the morning,
otherwise the militia will be called upon
to drive them away. In such an event
serious trouble is contemplated.

AMUSEMENTS.
MIR. wyatt,s benefit was n Bumper.
Indeed.

Mr. Wyatt's Benefit Was n Bumper,
Indeed.
The amusement-loving public mani
tested their high appreciation OF Mr.. II.
G. Wyatt's services in their behalf as q
caterer to them in the play line, by filing
each and every part of the Grand Opera
House last night. Boxes, loges and
seats, even to the topmost gallery, were
all packed.
The play presented was the Fairy's
Well, by Con T. Murphy as presented
by the w. H. Powers Company,
and exceedingly cleverly it was
done. The play is an Irish
drama full of amusement, incident,
humor and feeling. The dances, songs
and bagpipes are all attractive features
of the play, and the scenery is prettiness
itself.
In addition to the regular play, the
following specialties were presented by
memb bers of MIR. Wyatt's new opera COM
pany, which opens next week at the Los
Angeles Theater: "The Trysting Song"
from the opera of Nell G,oyn, by Mr..
Eckert; a song, "Good-Bys," by Miss
Anna Dacre !; song, "saved by Child" :"
by O. Byron Browne, and a fine bit
of comedy, by Mr.. W. F. Rochester,
Miss Dacre and Mr.. Browne
have good voices which give promise of
the success Of the new opera company.
Jaguarine and Englehardt also gave
an exhibition in the sword and rapier
line that was greatly enjoyed. And last,
but almost greatest OF this.specialfy busi-
ness, was the sailors hornpipe danced
by Master Robbie Burns.
The evening was most enjoyable one
all around, and Mr.. WyatJ's benefit was
great success.
The Fairy's We'll will be put on again
