CHICAGO, Oct. CT. V. Powderly adj

tempest of applause as is seldom given to any
man. He began by referring to the criti-
cisms that had been launched against him
from Chicago, and said that few years ago
he would not have expected suoh an audience
or such hearing. His remarks on Sunday
saloon closing were emphatic and pointed
enough to elicit repeated outbreaks of ap-
plause from even the most radical of his
hearers. Mr.. Powderly continued:
You have been told that the chief officer
of the Knights of labor Ia most villainous
character. He is not going to deny it. But
will agree that the citizens Of Chicago not
connected with any labor organization, may
select committee of three honest men and
will place with them the records of the order
since it's organization. If that committee
does not say what they have heard on the
submit that it is a just verdict. II the res
spectacle, decent citizens of Chicago do not
care to accept this offer. feel that they do
not believe the SANDERS"
On the Sunday closing theme he said: I
believe in Sunday rest. So do the Knights.
I believe the time will come when enough
can be done in ave days to give the laboring
man two days in the week-one for God and
one for humanity. What have the saloons
done for humanity How many souls have

clothed except the saloon keepersl When
We have strike the saloon keeper often con-
tributes more than the dry goods man, but
he robs them of more. I never knew one of

Wilma, Miss, Oct. Ga fire broke out
about $40 a. m. in R. E. Lofts two story
restaurant. This was prominent building
on First street. It was only a few minutes
after the alarm was sounded before the
flames completely enveloped the restaurant,
the upper story OF which was used as Sleep
ing apartments. Nine men were sound
| asleep in the upper story, five of the nine
escaped but four were burned to death.
Rufian Thompson, the head clerk, and Cecil
Simpson, another clerk, escaped by climbing
down the awning in front. jeff Kent Of
Carroll county, A. j. Cook and W. i. Afford
Of Webster county, jumped from the second
story window to the brick pavement below
and were badly injured, Mr.. Cooks ankle
being broken so badly that ampatation ia
thought to be necessary. Those who persisted
in the flames were ]. A. Thomas, a merchant
Of Cumberland comfy; J. L. Lawley, Lon
l>Crouch, both merchants Of Hopelenden,
Webster county; Paul Williams, farmer OF
Suncrock, Oetibbeha county.
All of them were prominent citizens oil
their respective communities and were en-
route home from Memphis to purchase goods.
1t was only by the most heroic efforts that
the adjoining buildings and stocks were
saved. For time 1t seemed that the large
part of the business houses of the town were
doomed, but the gallantry of volunteer citi.
zens averted this great disaster. As soon az
possible the debris was cleared away and the
| bodies of the four victims, burned to a crisp
and beyond recognition, were recovered. The
remains will be shipped to relatives to mor-
row. It is supposed that the victims died
| from suffocstion before they could make
| their escape. Lofts restaurant was one OF
| the finest establishments of the kind in the
State. The origin of the fire is unknown.

THE COmING COUNCIL.

OF tho Congregational Churches OF the
Country 60 be Held In Worcester
The Race Issue 60 be tho Important
Question to be Considered.
BosToN, Dot. 6.-Next Wednesday the ma
tional council of the Congregational chur ches
of the country will begin it's triennial session
in Worcester. One OF the most important
questions which will come before IL Is the
race Issue, which will be presented from
Georgia. The Georgia Congregational ASSOC
citation has been recognized as the Congrega-
tional body of the State. This association Is
composed of fifteen small churches of col
ored people which are under the care of the
American Missionary association. The Con-
RreRational Nethodists conference, an older
body than the Georgia Congregational asso-
citation, is deairous of recognized relations
with the Congregational churches of the
country, and has elected delegates who will
como to Worcester and apply for admission
to the national council. The churches of the
conference are white. The delicate question
for the council to settle is whether it shall
recognize two distinct bodies of CongreRa-
tional churches within the limits of ono
State when the reason for the two organiza-
tions is nothing more nor less than the fact
that they are composed of people of different
races.

Meeting of the Protective Union
Held In Boston.


BOSTON, Oct. Ga secret meeting of the
railroad mems protective union was held in
this city at an early hour this morning.
There were present fully $50 delegates from
parts of tine United States and Canada. The
treasurer's report showed the order in a
hourishing condition. In executive session
committees were appointed to draft resolu-
lions regarding the questions of railroads
employing inexperienced men and minors.
shorter hours for employees, and the adoption
of safety appliances. 1t was resolved to sup
port the anti-Pinkerton bill. The employees
liability bill incurred a heated discussion
and law was proposed for each State the
indemnity to be $4,000, 1t being
believed that such legislation would
do much toward forcing rail corpora
tions to provide safety appliances.
The federation question was thorough
ly explained by the president, who gave
practical illustration of its efficient results,
and it was decided to favor the federation.
Important changes were made in the constt-
tuition by which a way was provided for ex-
pediting all matters Of importance. The old
board Of officers was reelected, the executive
board being made advisory and increased to
organization will remain the same. The Leg
islative committees report proved q surprise,
there being but few laws in behalf of railway
employees. What have always been supposed
to be laws, 1t was shown, were simply REQ
concentrations from railway and warehouse
commissioners.

years of age, daughter of Colonel Snowden
Andrews of this city, and a niece of the first

The Services Yesterday-A Growing
Parish.
The Zion A. N. E. church on Foote street
was re-opened yesterday after a period of
two month"; of repairing and general bright
eaing. It presented a fine appearance to the
large congregations which filed it at each of
the services in spite of the rainy weather.
One would hardly recognize she newly f.
paired church, 30 greatly have all its inside
furnishings been changed. The walls are
neatly and tastefully papered with blue tints.
The ceiling has also been decorated and
adorned with great taste. Everything has
been painted and frightened. New carpets
shared in the general improvements. In
seribed above the recess in the rear is "Holi-
ness to the Lord" in large letters. Leaning
upon the forward part of the pulpit is q
picture of an anchor. The lighting facilities
have been added to immeasurably and afford
the greatest possible amount Of light. These
repairs began about the first of August and
have been completed at an outlay of 81 500.
The church now has seating capacity of
about 800.
The worship at the church yesterday began
with early morning prayer at O'Clock in the

ing at half past seven O'Clock the pastor
preached upon the theme Christ the chief
corner stone" His remarks were interesting
and intently listened to.

numbers about 600. 1t is the church for
colored people In the city.
