ably upwards Of f300-c0mmercial bodies have
been organized within the present decade, or

est upon the important subject OF Board Of
Trade work, as well as the possibility and
necessity for more extensive and complete

Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian
churches of this place decided to observe the
week of prayer in series of union meetings.
The third meeting of the series was held at
the Methodist church Tuesday night. A
very large congregation was present, and af-
ter short addresses by the pastors a prayer
meeting was held During the progress Of
this service Rev. Mr.. Hughes. pastor of the
Presbyterian church, was called on to pray.
In the course of his invocation he introduced
the articles of the faith of his church. He
was interrupted by the Baptist minister. and
on their knees the two preachers fought over
the doctrines of their respective churches.
while the congregation, in confusion, rose to
its feet and crowded about the two dispu-
tapts. who bombarded each other with Bible
quotations, denominational arguments and
sharp retort. The audience was becoming
noisy: there were indications of more serious
trouble. which might have ended in blows. If
nothing worse, when the Methodist pastor
took the pulpit, denounced the proceedings
as disgrace to the place, the occasion and
the religion all present professed, and order
ing the congregation out, declared he would
not permit such shameful scenes in his
church. No service was held last night in
anv of the churches. The CON

The Effect of Hard Work and Poor
Fare at Topolobampo.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 9-The latest
news from the communistic colony at Topo-
bampo, in Sinaloa, Mex, is brought by c. G.
Remley, who joined party from Kansas
City last year. He was induced to join the
colony by representations of the ideal life
that was to be enjoyed at Topolobampo.
Remley took his family and supplies sufic-
lent for two years stay. He remained
four months, leaving last November and
coming up through Sonora overland, narrow
ly escaping from the hands of the Yaqui
Indians. He is now established in Tulare
county, Cal.
In long letter describing his experience
he says that the colonists now number about
ITO, mostly old men and women, who have
become SO embittered by their disappoint-
ment that they are hard to live with. If
these people had means to leave there would
not be 20 remaining, but having put
their money in the general fund they can get
nothing back. All are paid for work in time
checks, which can't be cashed, because the
directors claim that there are no funds.

A Stop in the Case of tne Base Ball
Associations.

NEW YORK, January 9.-In the Supreme
Courttoday, arguments were made by emf
nent counsel on the motion of the National
League of Baseball Players Clubs, through
the Metropolitan Exhibition Company. for
an injunction to restrain John M. Ward from
playing with any other than the New York
Baseball Club. Counsel for the plaintiff ar
gued that, under the contract which Ward
entered with the New York club, that club
had right to his services during the year
1890 and that Ward acknowledged this right
of the club The defendants counsel stated
that this was not simply against Ward, but
in reality case of one organization against
another. He then produced affidavits from
Ward and other players of the New York
Club giving detailed history of base ball
and explaining the contracts of former
years and that of last year
and the manner in which said contracts
had been hitherto interpreted. The plain
tiff's counsel said that they had not received
a copy of the affidsvits and demanded oppor-
tunity to examine them. Judge O'Brien de-
cided the point well taken and adjourned
the hearing until next Thursday.

THE HAvERHiLL TROUBLE.
Manufacturers Think the Mems De-

HAvERHILL, January 9.-The strike at
j. III. Winchell & Co.'S shoe factory con-
tinues. The Shoe Manufacturers Associa-
tion held an adjourned meeting this after
noon and evening at which the matter was
discussed. The demands made by the
Shoe Makers Union upon the manufacturers
are that all workmen employed by them
shall have close card of union membership
and that all work shall be done by the piece
according to the price list arranged by the
Union, all trouble arising between employers
and employees to be settled by the officers of
the union. The manufacturers consider the
demands unreasonable, impracticable and
oppressive.
Seyeral manufacturers have threatened to
summarily eject General Organizer Moulton
i he appears on their premises. This, the
General Organizer says, shows that they are
afraid of the union.

ALL SORTS OF WARES
For Which the Manufacturers Want
Suitable Protection.

WASHINGTON, January 9.-Before the
ways and means committee today Fl. F.
Birmingham of Dexter, N. J., asked that a
duty of $40 per ton be levied on unpleached
bisulphide, and SIS on bleached.
FL. G. knight of East Hampton, Conn,
representing the button manufacturers of
the United States, said that they wanted a
reasonable protection, viz, on ivory, horn
and other "hard" buttons.
Mr.. McMilliu-"Your proposition would
increase the duty on the common button the
lahorers wear, and not affect expensive but
TONS"
Nelson c. Newell of Springfield,
Mass, asked for more duty on vegetable but
tons.
r. Liebman of New York said that through
undervaluations only small fraction of the
proper duties were now collected on buttons
Bohemia, he continued, was the curse of this
country as far as the manufacturers were
concerned. The people there lived like cattle
and worked for almost nothing.
Mr.. Powerfully don't they come over
here?"
Witness-"A good many do Here they
become our labor agitators and our mas
ters."
j. r. Torrey of Worcester, Mass, a cutler,
said he had to import the steel to make
razor blades from Sheffield, Eng because
American steel did not run of an even grade.
Domestic workers would like to have the
duty on raZors increased. 1t would not in
crease the cost to the consumer. and in three
years the selling price would be still lower
than at present.
Joseph Turner of Worcester, in the same
business, wanted an increase in the duty on
the lower grades of razors.
George E Wells of South Bridge, Mass, a
spectacle and eye glass worker. wanted opti-
cal and lens glass admitted free of duty.
James l.. Carr of Orange, n. j., in behalf
of the fur hat manufacturers, asked to have
the duties readjusted to stand-hats valued
as So dozen, $1.50 a dozen between s. and
$40, SO a dozen above $40, $5 dozen, and
in addition 30 per cent ad valorem on all
grades.
