THE WRAPPING PAPER TRUST.

spite Opposition.

1t Seems to be in Process of Formation De-
spite Opposition.
The announcement of the formations Of q
straw and rag wrapping paper trust, as
published exclusively in The DISPATCH
few days ago, caused considerable discus
sion among the various paper dealers in
town.
Almost to a man they express themselves
as inimical to the scheme. Some even go
so far as to say that no such trust will be
formed, but there are others who think that
it will. the latter claiming that 1t is a ne
cessity.
One gentleman, who refused to allow his
name to be used, said that while the state
ment was a surprise to him, he had been ex-
pecting that the manufacturers would COM
bine for the purpose of advancing prices.
A mill owner from West Virginia was in
town yesterday and confirmed the report
that the trust was in process of formation.
He, however, refused to give any particulars,
saying that too much had already been pub
lished

angles from which the contestants view it.
It is expected that some eounter-charges
will be preferred by the applicants for the
charter.
AS a specimen of what is called "un-
christian conduct" one Of the exceptants
testified that the contribution plate was not
sent around among the congregation as is
the case in most churches, but that all who
felt like contributing were expected to come
to box and deposit it This exceptant wit
ness stated that he made it a rule to sit close
to the box where he could see the size of the
contributions, and that some of the excluded
members financial aid was very small.
Of course, to ascertain whether the
placing OF small amount in the contribu-
tion box, constitutes 'unchristian conduct"
it might be necessary to inquire into the
circumstances of the contributor and find
how he was rated in the commercial
agencies, and even this rating might not de-
termine his ability, as giver might play
the Ananias-Sapphira dodge, for the REM
edy of which there have been no deterrent
executions lately.
Some people expect an awakening when
the exceptants get through testifying and
the other side begins.

Allegheny railway matters are still in a

1t was reported yesterday that the Rebecca
street line would be run by electricity, but
investigation confirms previous publica-
rators of the traction company, said:
"It is very likely, in fact it is a sure thing,
that the motive power of the long and short
line will be changed. However, as was re-
ported some time ago, the Rebecca street
line will be run by horse power, as in the
past. The motive power of the main line
will likely be cable, but no decided steps
have been taken in regard to the Rebecca
street line"

Mr. Peckkam's Resignation From the Ger
 neau Conslstory Creates a Stir.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Masonic circles were greatly agitated by the resigna- t1on of Past NJ. G. Commander Wm. H. Peckham, thirty-third degree, from membership in Cerneau Consistory No. l, th1rty-second degree, this city, thus severing his connection with Scottish Rite Masonry.
 This action adds new interest to tho bitter feud between the adherents of Albert Pike and those of Ferdinand Gorgas. Every adherent of the latter Is, by recent Masonic proclamation, in danger of expulsion from the lodge of Masonry, and the resignation of MT, Peckham will, 1t is said by prominent Masons, be followed by many others.
 MT. Peckham was for many years prominent among the Sarneau Rite Masons, and for several years held the highest rank in the bo2y-that of Grand Commander for the United States. Two years ago he resigned and was succeeded by s. F. J. Gorges, of Baltimore.
 Mir. Peckham's present resignation, as he states in an open letter addressed '"To the Masonic fraternity throughout the world, " Is because of the utilization of the Supreme Council Of that body to the Grand Orient of France, which does not recognize the existence of personal God whereas, MT. Peckham states, such recognition Is the very cornerstone of true Masonry
