WEsr PolNr, N. Y, June 10.-Nature
only has the pluck to stay out in the
rain. When nature is gloomy, West
Point is very glum. To-day the sun
shone and everybody was out. The first
and second classes are preparing to
leave the post, the former for good and
the latter for two months vacation.
An interesting incident occurred at
the station as the people were waiting
for the evening trains. Numbers oirail.
road lahorers were in the crowd, and one
cried as he heard the firing on the plain:
"That's the way, fire your guns. We
must pay for the powder yon burn,
whether we like IL or not. They are
raising another lot OF beggars to be sup
ported by the poor working people"
His loud remarks attracted much at
tention. Some laughed and called him
crank. Others looked grave. One
man remarked in reply: 1--WE can well
afford it, my friend. America is rich
and great, and 1t is because 1t trained up
meu to fight it's battles that 1t is great to
day and respected by other nations.
Powder is cheap, old man, and we have
got the men. Why do you complain
1t never cost you cent"
The graduating exercises will be held
at l0:15 o'clock on Thursday. H.. e.

MAYS Landing,

Psrnlcious Activity Of tho White Cnps of
Mays Landing.
MAYS LANDING, N. j., June TO-
White Caps have again made their ap-
pearance here.
Several respectable citizens have re.
ceived warning notices during the past
week, among others, Mrs. Lydia Jenkins,
a widow, whose husband has been dead
about six months. The following notice
was pushed under Mrs. jenkins door on
Saturday last:
"Mrs. Lydia Jenkins;
MADAME: II you do not stop keeping
a disordesly house and harboring mar.
ried men in your house, you will be
treated to dose OF tar and feathers.
[Signed]
"WnrrE Car CoUScrL No. A."
Mrs. Jenkins, who knows OF no cause
for this attack upon her, is much excited
over the matter and promises to make
trouble for the White Caps il they can
be apprehended.
Frederick Mick, who resides on Penn.
ington avenue, received notice to stop
drinking and 60 to work or he would
be treated to a sound drubbing and run
out OF the town. Mr.. Mick swears he
will shoot the first man that molests him.
Several other citizens have received no.
tices to clean out pig.pens, build houses
for their cattle, etc. The notices, as q
rule, have been complied with, the peo.
pie being in fear OF the White Caps.
The matter is being investigated, and il
the instigators are detected they will
probably be given dose OF their own
medicine. s....

NEWARK, N. j., June 1O.--A local
paper recently stated that John D. Ped.
die, the millionaire trunk manufacturer,
was OF illigitimato birth. Mr.. Peddlo
not only began libel suit, but made m
investigation, which disclosed the fact
that the originator OF the story was Rev.
W. w. Boyd, OF the Peddle Memorial
Church. Mr.. Boyd admits that he told
tae story to a reporter, but says the re-
porter promised not to have it published
until later date. The editor of the
paper, however, disregarded the report
er's request, and published it. Rev. M,
Boyd now says that while the publics-
non was premature, the statement In
true, and he will stick 10 it. Mr., Peddle
Will doubtless sue the minister for libel.
as well as the paper. The matter has
caused great social sensation. s
1t is the sequel OF another and Lesser
scandal which has been matter OF po,-
sip for some time, namely, the refusal of
the Trustees Of the church to recognize

late ex.iayor and ex-Conrressman
Thomas T. Peddle, founded the church,
with an endowment Of S350,0OO. When
the church was dedicated recently. the
keys Of the church were presented TO
the Trustees by an adopted daughter of
the late Mr.. Peddle. There was some
surprise that John Peddle was ipp-
nored, and family quarrel was hinted
at. The. publication OF the statement
above referred to followed. Mr.. Peddle's
friends assert that Rev. Mr.. Boyd is an
CRY with Mr.. Pedd1e for failing to carry
out certain supposed Intentions of HIS
father in regard to the minister's salary
and other incidentals, and that his re-
sentiment has led him into making q.
libelous statement. The PASTORS friends.
on the other hand, declare that be is =
man who would not say such a thing
unless he had proof of its truth, Mr.
Peddle threatens to drive the minister
from the pulpit, and there are likely TO
be sensational Developments. .5'..5 3

Crushed by Wlient.

CHICAGO, June 1O.-Wm. P. Harvey
and Co.'s grain elevator was the scene
Of an accident yesterday in which two
laboring men, Simon Purman and Tim
othy Lynch, were instantly killed. In
company with Peter Gill, they were
engaged in emptying grain bin, con.
tanning $4,000 pounds OF wheat. The
bin in which they were at work was
almost empty, and the weight Of the
grain in the adjoining bin caused the
partition to break and the broken por-
ton crashed down upon the men in the
empty bin and the $4,000 pounds wheat
covered them up. Gill struggled out OF
the bin, getting his hands upon beam
over his head drew himself up out OF
danger. He gave the alarm and when
the grain was removed and the broken
partition raised, the crushed remains OF
Purman and Lynch were found.

Eugllshmen to Secure Possession OF tho
Union Stock Yards.
CHICAGO, June 10.-It present indica.
lions are to be relied upon, the stock OF
the Union Stock Yards and Transfer
Company will pass into the hands OF the
English syndicate that has been nego.
tiating for it before the lst OF July.
Upon the testimony OF one of the
highest officers ofthe company the only
thing that can prevent the transfer is the
withdrawal Of the offer by the English
capitalists. a,I
BY far the greater number OF the own
ers OF stock, in fact, enough TO furnish
the 90 per cent Of the stock required by
the Englishmen, look at the proposition
with the utmost favor, and are willing
to part with their holdings on the terms
offered.
The offer Of the City Of London Com
pany, to which the stock OF the yards
will undoubtedly pass. was first made
known officially to the smaller holders
through President Thayer's- circular.
The larger stockholders, who live in
Eastern cities, have known Of the offer
for some time, and favored it from the
first, although previous proposition
from the same syndicate was rejected.
Fully so per cent OF the stock OF the stock
yards is held in New York and New
England. Some OF the Eastern stock.
holders are said to have already filled
out their contracts and returned them
to President Thayer. Nearly all the
Western stockholders are Of the same
disposition.

PHILADELPHIA, June l0.-Many prom.
inent Masons who are members of the
Egyptian Masonic Rite Of Memphis have
been surprised by the issuing ofan edict
from the Grand Lodge commanding
them to withdraw from the organization
within ninety days, on the ground that
it is cfandestine.
The Egyptian Masonic Rite OF Mem.
phis is not an old institution, having
been organized in this city about 1854,
Itconfcrs as high as the ninty.sixth dc.
gree and has included in its ranks o
large number Of well-known Masons.
at the session OF the Grand Lodge on
Wednesday night last, Clifford P. Mac
Gala, Grand Master OF MasoRs OF Phila.
delphia, announced that the rite was a
clandestine organization, and that the
Masons whom be knew were members
should be accordingly asked to with.
draw from it. The Grand Master pre-.
sented 10 the Grand Lodge copy OF Ger.
tifcates issued by the Rite, in which it
asserts that its Grand Master "shall nj.
ways possess the right and have the
power to make Masons at sight" He
claimed that the Rite was clandestine,
Masonically speaking, not only for as
suming this illegithnate power, but also
in calling itself a"Masonic" Rite, and in
addressing it's certificate of membership
to Free and Accepted Masons.
Without u dissenting voice the Grand
Lodge Immediately framed the follow.
