That the millennium
IS now at hand has
serious consideration
THE among large num-
ber Of Christian be-
MILLENNIUM levers. There is a
convention now in
session in Brooklyn
TO give serious con-
slderatlon TO the subject. AS far as
known there is no undertaking 20 figure
out the precise moment, but the argu-
ment embraces that SIN and iniqulty
were never more powerful than now,
though Christian activity IS greater
than ever; and that the time has come
when the hard pressed and sorely
tempted followers should be gathered
out from the prevailing wickedness and
taken up. The melleninalists seem 10
believe thvt this subject is the only one
of any importance 10 mankind. 1t may
be so. 1t docs not appear, however,
that they are busylng themselves solely
with amassing heavenly treasures-but
rather that there Is an unabated ac-
tiyity in selling and buying, eating and
drinking, drawing dividends, salaries,
etc. Without any intention of disre-
spect 10 these believers IN the triumph
of faith, it is noticeable that while they
may be anxiously listening for the blast
of the awful trumpet, yet in their
worldly affairs they are proceeding like
the rest OF the people who expect to
live and die in the old fashioued way.

BAD SILVER DOLLARS.
Many Counterfeits Found in the Government
Sub-Treasury Vault at Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 21.-United States
Sub-treasurer Walters has not yet signed
the receipt which his predecessor, 8. Davis
Page. must hold before he can be relieved
of MS heavy bonds. The reason is the dis
covery of considerable amount of coun-
terteit silver dollars in the government
vaults hero. Soon after Captain Walters
entered upon the duties of his Office he
made preparations to have the government
experts count the money in his CHARGE
which includes over $1,000. 600 in silver dol
lars. Great was their surprise to find thirty
counterfeit silver dollars among the first
LOCO pieces counted.
Captain Walters said to-day, "The bags
containing the silver have been stored in
the vaults for q long time, most of it hav-
ing been received during the term of Sub
Treasurer George Eyster. 1t has been Gus
tOmary. in ascertaining the amount of
money in silver, TO count it by weight, and

THE OLD COLONY DISASTER.
Testimony Showing 1t Was Caused by Jack
Left on the Track by q Section.Hand.

BosToN, Aug. 21.-The official investiga-
tion into the accident on the Old Colony
railroad at Quincy. Tuesday last. was be-
gun at their offices this forenoon by the
Railroad Commissioners. Several witnesses
were sworn. and conductor Steadman, of
the Inflated train, took the stand. The
important portion of his testimony was
that Just before the accident. while look
ing from the baggage-car door. he saw
gravel train approaching on the other
track. and saw q gang of labOrers shift
from that track TO the one he was on. The
engineer sounded the danger signal and the
laborers stepped from the track. Witness
then saw an upright object about three
feet high directly between the rails of his
track. He could not state its nature, but
anticipated trouble from it and immediate
ly threw himself fat on his face In the CEN
ter of the car. The train jumped tho track
almost instantly, the baggage flew about
the witness and he received severe injuries.
The jack found near the scene was pro-
duesd, but witness could not identify it.

ANOTHER MISSISSIPPI SCHEME.
Proposal to Give the Elective Franchise to
Women Who Own Real Estate.

JACKSON. Miss. Aug. 21.-A tinge of senti-
ment colored the proceedings of the cOnsti-
tutiOnal convention to-day during the prog
ress of delegate John w. Fewelps speech
in support of the proposition offered by
himself to confer suffrage upon women.
Mr.. Fewelps resolution read as follows:
Resolved. That it is the sense of this cOnven-
ton that II is a condition necessary to the solu-
ton of the franchise problem that the right 10
vor shall be secured 10y proper constitutional en-
actment q. ,s 10 every woman VINO snaii nave resided
ty-one years OF age or upwards, and who shall
own, or whose husband, If she have a husband,
shall real estate situated in this State of the
clear value of $500 over and above all incum-
brances. The votes OF every woman voting in
any election shall be cast by some male elector,
who shall be thereunto authorized in writing By
such woman entitled to vote, such constitutional
enactment not TO be framed to grant 10
women the right to hold Office.
Under the rules the resolution should
have gone to the committee on elective
franchise, but, by unanimous consent, he
was allowed to take the floor in support of
his resolution. Mr.. Fewell made the mort
of his opportunity. and IN o speech OF
twenty minutes duration made deep i'm
preston on all his hearers. He urged that
q special committee be appointed to report
upon the question, but the committee on
elective franchise regarded such reference,
with the instruction suggested. as infring-
ing upon the prerogative OF the elective
franchise committee, and. after two hours
discussion. Mr.. Fewell struck out the OBJ
jectionable clause of his resolution and had
it referred the usual way. Delegate Hud-
son, of Yazoo, offered an amendment pro-
viding for female suffrage. with q property
and educational qualification. This plan
also embraces the Australian ballot system.
The woman suffrage idea is growing in
favor among the best minds of the conven-
tion, and unless safety from black suprem-
acy can be reached by other methods Mr..
Fewelps plan, or one similar, will be
adopted.

Federation of Railway Employees Formed to
Prevent strikes-No Alliance with Knights
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Aug 2l.-Grand Sec
retary Debs of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, talked freely o.day to the
Associated Press reporter regarding the
impending strike on the New York Central
road. He says that when the strike began
the local members of the Supreme Council,
Grand Master Sargent. Grand Chief How
ard and himself discussed the situation
fully and decided to take no part in the
strike. These members of the Supreme
Council at once communicated with other
members of the council, all of whom, ex-
cept Grand Master Sweeney, of the Switch
mems Mutual Aid Association, acquiesced
in their decision. Mr.. Debs says the alb
sence of Grand Master Sweeney in the East
at the time these communications were
sent out is the probable cause of his failure
to respond. Soon after this Grand
Master Sargent received request
from General Master Workman Powderly
to 90 to New York and consider tho
grievances of the striking Knights. many
of whom are also members of one or another
of the railroad mems associations. 1T is
true," said Mr.. Debs. that while the Fed.
GRAFTON does not favor q dual mem bership
in Brotherhood organization and the
Knights of Labor. holding that member
of the Federation should owe allegiance
alone TO it, it nevertheless is fact that
many railroad men are also knights of
Labor.
"As q matter of courtesy merely" said
Mr. Debs. Grand Master Sargent went to
New York to consult with the leaders of
the strike. There is nothing in the mere
fact that Mr.. Sargent has consulted with
the Supreme Council will order q general
strike. / say this without full knowledge
of the condition of affairs on the Central
and aside from the principle involved In
the wholesale discharge of men whose
grievances the company refuses tC
arbltrate. 1t has been given out
that Grand Master Sweeney ordered the
strike of the switchmen. but this Is not
true. as such action would be a direct
violation of the laws of the Federation.
The Federation was formed to prevent
strikes, not to breed them. Every step
toward ordering n strike must be taken in
accordance with these rules
Too much significance should not be
attached to the meeting of the. Supreme
Council to be held here Saturday. Our
rules provide that such meetings shall,
when practicable, he held at or near the
