WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Crosby 5.
Moves, editor OF the Washington Even
ing Star who recently returned from o
visit to the Sandwich islands speaking
of the reciprocity question said: The
Sandwich islands now buy S., 4SS, 600 OF
the products of our farmers, mechanics,
manufacturers etc., growing from
81, sos, 900 before the treaty, an increase
of nearly 400 per cent the short time
the treaty has been in operation. Inc
United States now sells the ISLANDS "
Dor cent. of their whole imports and
does over so per cent. OF their entire
carrying trade. These are flush times
in the islands. The reciprocity treaty
has set all the wheels Of business in
motion and put great deal OF money In
circulation. But it has worked equally
we'll for the United States Inc
Hawaiians are not money hoarders
and the money they have acquired by
the business brought about by the reci-
procity treaty has been expended by
the United States in the purchase OF
the necessities, conveniences and lux
uries of life. At the same time 1t has
developed our ocean-carrying trade
which had almost become lost indus
try to the large extent shown above.
The big freight list of one of our yes.
sells plying between San Francisco ana
Honolulu presents curious illustration
of the infinite variety Of our products
in all the wide range from the elegances
of life that are now purchased by the
Hawaiians under the reciprocity treaty,
and it may be added that our Pacific
States are prcfiting so greatly by this
trade that should any detriment come
to it through the passage OF non-reci-
procity free sugar act, the party respon-
sible for that legislation will be likely
to hear from the Pacific slope to Its
disadvantage at the next election. AT
least infer that such would be the re-
suit from somo rather emphatic remarks
made by prominent California business
men now visiting the islands"

THE RAILROAD STRIKE.

Governor HIll, OF New York, says IL IL Nos

New York, Aug. 12.-In reply to
dispatch sent by Vice-President Neoo
to Governor Hill, asking that State
troops be sent to Syracuse to overawe
the New York Central strikers, no re-
ceived the following reply from Coionei
Judson, military secretary to the Gov

he has sent General Farnsworth TO in

It Is desirable that official information
shall be obtained before overt action
Is taken. You may rest assured
that the State authorities will act
promptly and vigorously in protect

lence. The functions OF the military
forces should not, however, DO misun-
derstood. 1t is not their business TO
operate tho railroad nor to interfere on

AT ALBANY.
Albany, n. Y, Aug. 12.-Adjutant'
General Porter, when asked regarding
the movement OF tho State troops In
connection with the strike, said: up
To this hour there has not been dol
lars worth of property destroyed or
single act of violence committed. AS q
whole, the strikers are behaving ad-
mirably and arc in good temper. The
company has now peaccably resumed
possession of its property and Its trains
are running through without molesta.

he now needed. The State authorities
are prepared for any emergency
and will act vigorously and prompt
", without fear or hesitation, when
ever such action is really nee
essary, but they will only use force as
last extremity and then only for the
protection of property and the proven
ton of violence. The strikers profess Q
desire to avoid violence and we shall
believe them to be sincere until we
have evidence to the contrary"
No attempt will be made to move
freight out of the East Albany yards
until additional Pinkerton men arrive
in such numbers as will allow them to
picket the yards around its many miles
of boundary. Carpenters employed BY
the Central were yesterday engaged in
erecting 800 hunks in the West Albany
paint shop for the accommodation Of
these men.

A COMPLETE FAILURE.
The Great Strike on the New York Central
Road Dismal Failure.

The Great Strike on the New York Central
Road a Dismal Failure.
New York, Aug. 13.-The strike upon
the New York Central railroad is prac-
tically at an end and the knights OF
Labor have suffered the most crush
ing defeat in their history-at least
SO it appeared yesterday. They
made appeals to the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers, to the Firemen's
brotherhood, to the switchmen's unions
on other roads of the Vanderbilt system
and TO the kindred organizations beg
ring them to come to their support in
their fight against the Central, but
these appeals have been met with re-
fusal that settled it so far as the New
York Central was concerned.
1t has become apparent that the occa-
sion was seized by other labor organiza-
tions to settle some old sores with the
Knights The revenge is so complete
that 1t promises to amount to death
blow. The squaring Of accounts by the
brotherhood of Engineers is the most
interesting OF all. They have taken
ample revenge for the Q strike.
Reports from all along the road tndi'
cate that the strike is practically at an
end. Passenger trains were running on
time between here and at Albany and
the delay west Of there was unimpor
tant All trains are now leaving the
the Grand Central depot exactly
ON time and the incoming trains an
only slightly delayed. Freight trath'
has been partially resumed and thu

a SERMON TO woRKlNeMEN.
Rev. F. T Benson breaches on the Dignit
of Labor.

OF Labor
First NJ. P. Church at Seventh and
Walnut streets was comfortably filed
last night to hear the first of FIVE SER
mons which are to be preached on sue
ceeding Sunday evenings to working
men.
The pastor, F. T. Benson, had selected
for his text the 9th verse OF the third
chapter of / Corinthians: "For we are
laborers together with God.
The reverend gentleman commenced by
stating that his talk would be to all
those who worked under an employer
and it would be to working women as
well as men. He desired his
words to be practical and helpful
His intention, he stated, was not to speak
of the grievances Of labor, he would do
that on another occasion. He intended
to speak Of the dignity of labor 1t has
been said that man is naturally egotistic.
This is only true IN certain cases. Man
Is more apt to think too little of himself.
Man should look high, not low. He
should not regard himself as a slave, but
as the handiwork Of God. God created
everything for man. Creation was
graduation from low to high. 1t commenced
at the lowest thing in inanimate nature,
and assembled to man in his highest devol-
opment. He is the greatest manifesto
ton Of Gods creative power.
Man had tbreefold nature, the physi-
cal, the intellectual, the spiritual. He is
different in these respects from all the
rest of creation. The highest among ami
mails is far below man. Man for ages
CROPPED in the dark, never dreaming Of
his possibilities.
Man has been growing and overcoming
vices. He has never been found with
out aspirations after God. Some prosti-
tute themselves before idols and some
worship the sun, but all acknowledge the
existence of a supreme being.
There is something sad in looking upon a
ruined city, TO see among the debris q
great round column stand that one time
must have helped to sustain a massive
building. We can argue, however, from
the column, what kind Of building
must have stood there. So il is with
man. When we study him, we can see
the divinity in him, and he is but the
shattered column Of what should have
heen mighty structure.

wished him to be an archangel; this was
also vetoed. Then God the father said
let him be made in our image and he was
so made. He was created and the breatl
of life was breathed into him.

BTnA james McComb's Narrow Escape
Mysterious AFFAIR.

Mysterious AFFAIR.
Mrs. James McComb narrowly escaped
being hit by bullet fred from a pistol
through the window of the dining room
Of her house, No. 1920 King street, at
$50 o'clock Saturday evening. Mrs
McComb was sitting by table convers-
ing with some visitors at the time and
the bullet struck the wall near her,
and glancing fell to the floor.
The house is built, like many others in
this city, with an offset, the back kitchen
being several feet narrower than the
main building. The parlor on the first
floor occupies all the main building
There are four steps leading from door
in the parlor to the side yard, caused by
the offset in the building.
The would-b be assassin. If he was such,
had mounted these steps and fred at Mrs.
McComb through the nearest one Of the
two windows which open into the dining.
room.
The pending suit by Mr.. McCombs for
divorce, has given the matter peculiar
significance, and it is causing a great
deal Of talk. Some persons express the
opinion that it was an attempted assass
nation, but great many say they do not
think it was. A surprisingly
large number refuse TO express
any opinion about the matter
whatever. It is hard to see
how the bullet could have entered the
room without being fired deliberately.
Everything about the affair proves con-
clusivelY that the person who fred the
pistol must have been standing on the
steps leading to the parlor. To have
reached these steps II was necessary to
come up long alley. Every one regards
the affair as a very mysterious one.

A cHuRcA,s WcIssITupes.


some strange Episodes In the History OF
sfthe First y. Pa Congregation.
The history surrounding the First M.
p. Church at Seventh and Walnut
streets is very interesting one. The
church was FIRST built at Third and
Orange streets, ON the site where the
Springer, Morley & Cause sash and saw
mill now stands. 1t WAS then a M. p.
Church and Edward Kennard, father Of
William M. Kennard, the Market street
dry goods man, was pastor of the congre-
CATION.
The church had been built on a ground
rent, the understanding being that If
the building was to remain standing
after certain date II would be the
| property of the land owner. The ground
was owned by an old Quaker named Will
liam Hallowell, and he threatened that
he would hold the church to it's
original contract. Two days before
the contract was out men and boys
from all sections Of town, gathered ~
the spot. The building was raised to the
ground and With wagons and wheel
barrows and on brawny shoulders, the
material In the building was removed TO
where the church now stands.
With the old material new church
| Was ouhbt huu Ant congregation OF
Methodist Professionals worshipped In the
building for some years. The building
afterwards fell into the hands Of the Uni
versalists. Active people in this
movement were the Webekirs, who
started q brewery on the site that Joseph
Stoeckle and Son now occupy. This con-
| gregation had famous preacher, and as
It was church where no very high stan.
dard was demanded, Il was very popular
among certain class of people
After this the church was vacant for
some years. 1t was at last rented To
Patsy Dooley and some Philadelphia
sports, who used it for a free-and-easy.
This was hard place. Liquor was
sold without license, and walk
ing matches were held in this
basement to attract patronage to the
bar After this "Shebang" was broker
up, The colored people had It for awhil,
as political headquarters and blacl
families lived in the basement. A whit,
Republican organization used It as head
quarters few years ago.
The Methodist Protestant den0mina.
ton few years ago again secured th'
building, and fitting II up a littl
occupied 1t until they tore 1t down anl
erected the present comfortable littll
place of worship.
