A Blew To she Lumber Trade.

DETROIT, Mich, April 10.-Light snows and no heavy rains during the past winter have resulted in the most remarkable drouth this spring that the lumber woods of upper Michigan have ever experienced, and over 1 ,OO0. .OO0, ,OOO of logs banked and ready to be Aoated to the mills below are hung up because there is not enough water in the streams to float them. Heavy and contin- ued rain alone will be able to rescue this winters cut and thus keep the mills running the season through.

INDIAN ASSOCIATION.

The Annual Meeting of the New Haven
 Branch TO.mOrr0w.
 The annual meeting of the New Haven branch of the Indian Rights association will be held in the Center church chapel on Fri day evening at 8 P m.
 The meeting will be be addressed by Mr. Herbert Welsh of Philadelphia, the corre- spending secretary of the National associa- tion, who has devoted much time and effort of late years to the education and missionary work among the Indians.
 The Indian rights association has proved of great service in the past in bringing to public notice some of the most fragrant ways against the Indians, and MT. Welsh's part in this work, and his personal observations of many Indian agencies amply qualify him to discuss the subject.
 It is hoped that New Haven will not be behind the other cities in supporting this branch of missionary effort.

 Mir. Lewis Morrison and his company gave their first presentation of "Fau St" in this city at the Hyperion Theater last evening. The play, as presented, is dramatization of Goethe's immortal work by MT. Bayle Ber- nard of London, which has lately been arranged and adapted for MT. Morrison by Dr. Gustavus Haas of New York city. In this version "Mephisto" is the central figure. Of this role MT. Morrison has an original conception and he gave it 6 very creditable impersonation. His lines were admirably rendered, and his facial expressions were noticabiy good. 1t is evident that he has faithfully studied the part and he has given to it an air of quiet, self-possession at once interesting and amusing. Mir. Morrison is a finished actor, though 8 modest one, and bis efforts were thoroughly appreciated last evening. Miss Rossbel Morrison made a very acceptable "Margarite" and Miss Carrie Carter was admirable as "Mar- tha," MT. Sutton was fair as "Faust." and the remainder of the company had little or nothing to do. The chief interest, how ever, was not in the acting but in the elab- crate scenery, original properties and the entirely new mechanical and electrical ef- fects. Never in this city has electricity played so important part in the production of play. Lightning seemed to play on Me phisto's sword, @ cross of fire suddenly ap peared on the outer wall of church, the bed of roses in Margarite's garden seemed filled with electric stars, and the pyrotechnic dis play in the Broeken scene would do credit to frst-class Fourth of July celebration. Those who desire to see an exhibition of the most recent adaptations of electricity to the stage should attend the performance this eve ming.
 A DARK SECRET. A large audience greeted the "Dark Secret" last evening and the marvellous tank and drama upon the waters proves an attraction most captivating to play goers. Another captivating feature of the productio n is Miss Edna Carey. This favorite actress plays the drowning heroine to perfection. Captain Andrews in his trusty dory is hardy sight, as is also George Hosmer the oarsman and the hero Mir. Heritage. "A Dark Secret" again tonight.
 PEARL OF PEKIN.
 This one of the most musical and fantastic of all fanciful farces will be presented at the Hyperion Theater tomorrow and Saturday. It is the greatest hit in Chinese comic opera that has been made and its long run and wide popularity does not yet show the slight est sign of waning. The company is one of the brightest upon the road and wherever it appears it is given royal reception. Louis Harrison, the immitable comedian, is one of the great features Of the performance ana his characterization of the great and only Typhoo is unsurpassable.
 GUS HILLS NOVELTIES.
 Gus Hill will present his company of fine variety performers to the patrons of the Grand to-n night and for the rest of the week. The combination has appeared here before this season, and everybody who has seen it once is always eager to see it again. It will draw good houses.

THE AMERICAN FLAG RESULTED.

A Peaceful Schooner With the Stars
 and Stripes Flying Ia Fired Upon by
 Dominican War Ship Chased on
 Ihe High Seas.
 NEW YORK, April 10.-Captain Stubbs of the schooner Carrie A. Bucknam, which ar- rived in this port to-day from St. Domingo City, reports as follows:
 "On March 21, when off Saona Island, at about noon, we sighted vessel steaming to- wards us from the land, then distant some six or eight miles. She proved to be Do- minican war vessel. She lay course to in- tercept us, but could not do so, owing to the strong breeze then prevailing, and fell astern of us one half to three-quarters of mile. When nearly in our wake, much to our sur- prise, she fired shot directly at us, striking the water B few yards under our stern. She then gave us chase, but failed to overtake us, as with good strong breeze we soon dis tanced her. After following us some two hours sine gave up the chase and, putting about, steamed towards land. She was low, rakish three masted steamer of about 500 tons, apparently French or Spanish build. Her decks were crowded with men. What her errand was can only be con1ectur- ed, as we were far outside of their jurisdlc. tion and on the high seas, where they could have no legitimate right to overhaul us. The American flag was flying at our peak all the time, we having hoisted it as soon as we make her out to be a war vessel.
 sfWe heard nothing said of this vessel or of their rebellion at St. Domingo City. The better class, in fact, hesitate to speak their minds even to foreigners. They are, no doubt, afraid of compromising themselves"

The EvanceIIcaI AIIlance.

As announced in yesterdays PRESS Rev
DIR. Chamberlain of Brooklyn, N. Y, de-
livered an address in State street cha pei on
the aim and work Of the Evangelical Alli-
ance, especially that which will be consider
ed at the conference in Boston next week.
He presented glowing account of the
progress of Christianity for the past so years
and stated his belief that we are on the verge
of the complete evangelization of the world.
At the same time the speaker said:
There are some evils that we must contend
with. There are the evils attendant upon
the great influx OF fore igners to which we
are subjected, the evil of illiteracy which al
though perhaps not a growing cause for
alarm yet, Is OF sufficient proportions to
cause the overthrow of all our Institutions
should 1t at any time combine to exert its in
huence all in one direction. The third dan
tendency OF people to gather themselves into
cities. :. The time will come, he said, when
we shall be a nation of cities and city rule
whether good or bad will rule the land. NOT
only the dangers, he continued, lmpel us 70
action, but the gentle commands OF Christ
and we should heed these If we do not heed
the first. Passing then to the work OF tho
Alliance, DIR. Chamberlain outllAed the
| scheme Of house to house visitation by dis
| trict visitors chosen one In hye from the
| whole body of Christian believes by which
| the Alliance has been, very successful In
| other places. 1t would, he said, be the
means of bringing hundreds Of people, once
church goers but who have lapsed, back into
| the fold again. He then spoke briefly Of the
coming conference. outlining the programme
and expressing the wish that large delega-
| tion might be present fiom the Portland
| branch.
At the close of the address Rev. Mr.. Bayley,
Mr.. G. d. Brown and Mr.. w. M. Marks
asked the speaker various questions bring
ing out various points that the speaker had
passed over without much elaboration.

respectable parents, and has occupied him
self as horse trainer and clerk, and of late
as a substitute letter carrier. For some
months he has been infatuated with Mrs.
Ludwig, and annoyed her by forcing himself
upon her notice. Constant rebuffs seemed
to make him the more persistent, and he has
several times threatened TO shoot her, dis
playing revolver. This afternoon Mrs:
Ludwig was visiting her sister, Mrs. Robert
Wooster, at the north end. During the al
ternoon ClOugh was found in the wo0dsned
and threatened to shoot Mrs. Wooster. he
