CLOSE OF THE SESSION.
The Saratoga Assembly Finishes the
Work on the Programme.

Work on the Programme.
SARATOGA, y. Y, May 27.-The
Presbyterian General Assembly closed
its sessions to-day,
The Committee ON Narratives reported
that it had laborcd under serious embar-
rasSment because of the negligence Of
Presbyteries in sending in their narra-
tiveS. Out of the 213 PresbyterieS, II
had failed TO send narratives TO this As
sembly. The narratives show that in
the 2l3 PresbyterianS there are 3,l05
ministers, 357 licentiateS and 1,056 can
didateS. Seventy-nine thousand persons
were received, and $1,000 on certificate.
Total number of communicates, S55, Sol;
net gain during the year, 1o3,092.
\ reference in the narrative TO the
nefiiciency of elders in the matter of
holding church sessions raised little
breeze. Mr.. White thought the state
ment was not by authority. He believed
it was largely the work of the pastors.
Cries of No"
A commissioner strongly objected to
the report as class legislation-all were
equally guilty before God. He moved
that the section be laid on the table.
Lost. The report was re-committed for
modification by insertion of the words,
"Somc elders"
The Committee on Neurology reported
III deaths in the ministry during the
year. The list was read, and the Assem-
bly, stood while Dr. White offered a
prayer.
Il. f.. Fickingcr and j. f. Griifen, of
Iowa. were appointed committee to
stop at Washington and paeSent the As
Sembly'S Original package" resolution
to the Senate of the United States.
Adopted with but two dissenting voices.
one of which-Dr. Van Dyke'S-was
heard to say with considerable empha-
sis: "What has this Assembly got to
do with original packages"
The Committee on Revision was en-
powered to publish its conclusions, if
reached, before the meeting of the next
Assembly.
When the Committee on Bills and
OvcrturcS was reached, Dr. Darling, OF
Albany Presbytery, asked what had be-
come of the overture of his Presbytery,
on a short creed. He wanted to go back
able to tell his PreSbytcry where II
stood. 4 delegate advised him to tell IL
to stand right by the Presbyterian
Church: Laughter. DR.. Darling was
informed that the overture was in the
hands of the Committee on Revision.
The roll was called, and it was ordered
that the names of abscntceS be inserted
in the minutes.
At 1890 o'clock the business of the
Assembly having been finished, the
minutes of the session were read and APP
proved.
DR.. KingSbury, of New Jersey, then
read resolutions of thanks to the Mod
orator. Rev. DIR. Moore, Of Columbus,
Ohio, for the efficient and digniiied
manner in which he had presided over
over the deliberations of the Assembly.
This resolution, and others thanking
the local committees of arrangements
were adopted by rising vote.
After fervent prayer by DIR. Crosby,
and the singing of the hymn, "BleSt BE
the Tie That Binds" the Moderator
pronounced the bcncdiction, and the AS
scmbly adjourned sine die.

YESTERDAYS BASE BALL.
Wheeling Falls Before an Inferior Club
Other Games.

Owing to the length of the opening game
between Wheeling and McKeesport yester-
day afternoon, we haven't got much time to
devote TO vivid description of the game.
The four hundred people who went over TO
the Island Park to see Our Own spread the
carcasses of the Mckeesporters all over
the field and stamp the everlasting ginger
out of them, were sorely disappointed. The
stamping was all the other way, and so the
inclination to make long story Of that one
sided contest is not wildly yearning.
Wheeling was in bad shape: O'Brien,
who covers several acres of ground
in the vicinity of short field was
sick and couldn't play, so Pap Lytle
was put in. Pap is good catcher, but
he isn't short stop, and when two blue
| legged, big mouthed Pennsylvanians went
over the plate in the first inning on his
muff of little fly, there was dropping Of
Jaws among the spectators, and the jaws
didn't have a chance TO assume their nor
NAL positions again during the game.
Then Tom Sawyer, the pitcher, had a
large sized kink in his salary arm, and all
the springs in it seemed 10 have lost
their snap, so that the ball went at the
plate with but little speed, until Osborne
was put in in the last half of the second,
when two visitors had crossed the plate
and three were on bases, one of whom was
forced in by base on balls, while the others
were left.
About the only times the crowd got to
veil for the home team was in the second
when Joe White went way down over tn
left field hill some place and pulled down a
home run out of the trees when Glenalvin
made the dizzest one-handed circus catch
of a little fly in the third, and when
| in the second inning Wheeling saved
herself from shut out. Osborne
went TO the bat and the first ball
that came along came in solid contact
with his bat and il started off in remark
able hurry for Bridgeport. 1t would have
been home run on any grounds in the
country, sailing over the fourth house from
the grounds. AS it was, he only got TO sec
ond, when Ziegler stepped up and swiped
the ball on the nose and il went out under
the left field trees and waited there until
he got To second, where he staid
Milbee, who presided in the box for Me
Keesport, is a good pitcher, but if the home
team is in shape they ought TO wipe up the
ground with the McKeesport team, below
ing and all Yesterday, mainly on errors,
they had the luck TO get in eight runs,
while Wheeling got but one. Look out for
to-day's game
Following is the official score:

sOCIALIsTIC CATACOMB.
The Spanish Cabinet Excited Over the
Province OF Catalonia.

province Oh Nhtaiohia'
LONDON. May 27.-The Spanish Cabi-
net is much excited over the discovery
that the great industrial province of
Catalonia is catacombed with So
cialism.
OF hundreds of thousands OF working
men I'm the Province, 1t is said that
very few are outside the labor organiza-
tions, which in Spain mean a great deal
more than in England, their character
being not only political, but also, from
a Spanish point of view, revolutionary.
Notwithstanding the examples OF
England, Germany and France. where
the head of the State are giving serious
attention To the problems connected
with labor, the Spanish Ministry and
the Monarchical part generally In that
country show the utmost Indifference
to the needs and demands OF the labor
ing classes, and treat, with poorly con-
cealcd contempt, the suggestions that
Spain should follow in the wake OF the
more progressive nations OF Europe.
The condition OF Spanish labor Is
worse than in any other country OF
Western Europe, tho only amelioration
being such as is secured by strong or
ganizatiOn in certain localities, The
effect is that the workingmen are learn
ing to look to revolution as their prob
able relief. though there Is no informa-
tion OF any existing conspiracy against
the government.
II is reported from Berlin that the
Anti-Socialist law, which will expire on
October /, will not be renewed. This Is
part OF the government bid for the
support Of the Socialist members OF the
Reichstag. who are also expected to be
won over TO the Emperor by the bill
amending the present Factor and Work
shops Act, which goes very far In ameli-
Grating the condition Of the laboriug

the dressed beef business from this city
destined for scaboard and other Eastern
points that can be reached by the new

charge the regular rates, but it is to do the

materially. The opinion prevails that it
will result in another serious war on dress

CoysrANTINoPLE, May 27.-The vii
lage of Rehapie, in Armenia, has been
destroyed by an earthquake.
4 number of mineral springs spouted
from the crevices made in the earth by
the shock, and the flow OF water was SO
great that the adjacent fields were
flooded.
The earthquake was preceded by rum
blings, which caused the inhabitants TO
flee from the village, and they thus es-
capped death from the falling houses.
No lives were lost
