The workmen employed in construct
ing the sewer at Front and YanBuren
streets had to stop work this morning on
account of the rain. The water runs down
the hill on Lancaster Ave. from Broome
street and flows directly into the new
sewer which was soon filled with several
feet of water. This shows the necessity
for the sewer, as when it is completed all
this water will run through it instead
of on the street,

TWO RIVAL PREACHERS.
Their Friends Start Lively Row In
Church.

Their Friends Start . Lively Row In .
CHICAGO, April 20.-Two rival conferences
of the Evangelical church. each of which ap-
pointed pastor for every church in the
state. resulted in serious trouble at Hum
bolt ppsk church in this city to-day.
Rev. Morlock was to preach his farewell
sermon and his successor to be installed.
Adherents and appointees of both confer
ences were on hand. Bishop Esher's con-
ference had appointed Rev. John Vetter.
and the other faction Rev. A. Heilman.
When Pastor Morlock and Pastor-elect
Heilman attempted to close Sunday school.
preparatory to other services, superintendent
Krueger and Pastor Elect Vetter demanded
their authority. Immediately the congre-
cation left their seats and one party seized
Vetter while Heilman jumped down from,
the pulpit. The confusion was made worse
by women and children rushing for the
door, Vetter's friends shrieking. "They are
killing our preacher while his opponents
yelled, "Out with him."
Vetter was finally landed outside and not
withstanding his license from the con-
ference, was refused admittance by
Heilman, who stood in the door
When the adherents had retired
Rev. Morlock preached his sermon,
deploring the occurrence, but saying Christ
was the only bishop they were recognizing
at present. Excitement in that quarter
over the affair is intense.

They Propose to Stand Out Against Re
duction of Wages.
CHICAGO, April 2O.-The great diasatisfac-
tion existing among employees of the United
States Express company over the order re-
ducing salaries eliminated to-day in a mass
meeting of Chicago employees, at which
three hundred men were present. Intense
feeling was manifested, and decision was
reached to make a firm stand against a re-
duction. General Agent Wygart left the
meeting after making brief speech ex-
planatory of the reduction. He said the
United States and some other express COM
panies are paying most of their profits to
railroads, and the future of
the express business is not bright.
A strike, he said, would be fruitless,
One of the principal speakers said if officers
had made unfortunate contracts with rail
roads and got the company in hole the
employees should not suffer therefor.
Advices were received from employees at
Milwaukee, Detroit, st. Louis, and other
cities announcing willingness to stand by
the decision Of the Chicago meeting.
A committee was appointed consisting of
two members of each branch of the COM
panys service to wait upon Vicc-President
Crosby and make an effort to adjust mat
ters by arbitration and report next Sunday.
If the committee fails in its mission strike
on May seems likely.

A Loaded Bridge Collapses with Terrible
Results.
SPRINGFIELD, o., April 20.-Near the col
ored baptizing given in Buck creek this
afternoon part of bridge loaded down
with spectators collapsed. Four persons
were injured fatally and over fifty more re-
ceived severe injuries. There were about
GOO people on the Limestone street bridge,
which had been condemned and afterwards
repaired, and which spans the race in addi-
tion to crossing the creek. 1t was one of
the foot bridges on the race part which gave
way. The main railing did not break. and
this caused the foot-bridRe to swing around
at an angle of forty-five degrees. Screams,
yells, shrieks and groans commingled. The
fatally hurt are: A. Lehman, aged 65; Mrs.
Margaret Flannery, aged 70; Mrs. Charles
Myers and son. All these had bones broken
and were injured internally. Horace Keifer,
son of Gen. Keifer, had an arm broken.

THE NATIONAL GAME.

The First Row of the Season Occurs at
Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April 2O.-Crowds which
numbered nearly twelve Thousand SO filled
the grounds at the game to-day that certain
temporary rules we're agreed upon. At the
close of st. Louis half of the third inning
the score was three to nothing for st. Louis.
Ryan, of the Louisvilles, then batted the
ball into the crowd, where temporary rules
were in effect, and he was given ruling by
the umpire which caused st. Louis to pro.
test and refuse to play out the game. The
umpire gave the game to Louisville by a
score of nine to nothing. St. Louis then
agreed to play out the game as an exhibi-
tion for the satisfaction of the spectators.
which resulted in a tie, both clubs standing
thirteen.

GessO Work.

Has any one tried the gesso, or relief
work?
1t is the most charming and refined of
decorations, whether one only wishes a
dainty arabesque put straight around a
frame or appropriate motoes on panels or
furniture. For those more skilled, any
modelling may be done, providing one has
the proper foundation.
10 execute a work in gesso you must have
a firm foundation. A panel, plaster or can
vas, but for fine work wood is preferred.
have found two mixtures work very we'll
when put to practical tests.
The first is very simple, and is a mixture
of fine Italian plaster of paris and glue.
Dilute the glue with hot water, then mix
with the paste until it is of the consistency
of cream; little glycerine added will pre-
vent shrinking and cracking. Lay coat
of size or of thin lacquer on the panel or
canvas before going to work.
The second is q much firmer and harder
gesso, and is made by boiling one part pow
dered resin, four parts linseed oil, six parts
melted glue. Mix the whole well together.
Too much care cannot be taken with this
latter mixture. Soak whiting in water and
add it to the prepared mixture until it is also
of the consistency of cream. The quantity
of whiting is to be varied or modified in pro-
portion to the degree OF fuldlty required in
the character of the work.
This second mixture has many advantages
over the former. 1t is slower in drying. CIV
ing one more time for final finish. 1t is bet
ter for delicate work. 1t sets more firmly,
and takes finer polish when hard. Com
bined with Naples yellow, it bears great
resemblance to ivory.
One can make charming frames using this
medium; on plain pine frame, which can
be made by any carpenter, paint on i'll low
relief one of those delicate arabesques to be
found in any art book. The frame may
then be bronzed, or if the picture requires
lighter setting, paint the whole white, pick
ing out the relief in gold or silver.
Again, to represet old ivory, Naples yell
low may be mixed with the paint; the little
hooks in the relief touched with brown.

either side of the painters name, which was
also modelled in low relief on ribbon
