THE WORLDS FAIR CONFERENCE.
MIR. Depew Refuses to Act on a Com.
mittee to Push the Assembly Bill.

conference Of New York politicians was
held in Chauncey Depew's Office in New York
Saturday. Mr.. Depew said he knew the senate
would never pass the assembly bill and that
Senator Hiscock would not touch it in Washing
ton, which caused Elihu Root to remark that
this would readily locate the responsibility.
Mr.. Depew said he wanted the executive COM
mittee and Mayor Grant to agree to a change
IN the incorporators named in the bill by sub
stitution Of regular democrats for the mug
wumps and that the mayor and the legislature
should appoint the extra members under the
disputed act Mr.. Ehhu Root was surprised
that MIR. Depew could make such suggestion
In view OF the fact that the committee had pre-
viously Insisted upon the pon-partisa
character of the BILL and to follow such a
course as this was to admit at once what
they had heretofore denied. For his part he
considered the only right course to pursue
was to call all the committees together and to
strongly indorse the assembly. bill and the
action taken in its support by the republicans
following Hamilton Fish, jr., and the demo-
Gratis. Charles A. Moore was of the same
opinion, and motion for the appointment Of
committee Of five to draw such q resolution
to present at a meeting called for the chamber
OF commerce on Tuesday was carried. Mayor
Grant thereupon appointed Elihu Root
Chauncey NJ. Depew, w. W. Aston, William C.
Whitney and John NJ. Bowers as such COM
mittee. Mr.. Depew at once declined to serve
on the committee. The committee heard him
In silence and then Charles A. Moore was
appointed to serve in his place. MIR. Moore is
Blaine republican. The meeting tomorrow
Will prepare comprehensive statement of the
situation for the information of the public.

He Couldn't Stand Dancing.

Rev. E. b. Kurdish of the Congregational
church of Lockport, NY, has resigned from
his charge as result of the position of his con-
gregatiOn on the question of dancing, theater
going and card playing. The questions were
raised some time ago in the church lyceum, at
which there was always in attendance all of
the young folks, among whom were many
pretty misses. whose chief enjoyment was trip
ping nlmole measures. The question was dis
cussed in a friendly spirit. One side was with
the pastor, but it seems now it was in the mi
nority. Both sides kept up a war of pamphlets
IN which the question was raised as to what
promises were requisite before person could
be admitted to church membership. 1t has
been novel fight and the elimination was a
genuine surprise. Mr. Kurdish is thoroughly
cultured man and was highly thought of by
all before the devil entered the church in the
guise Of the dancing question. The congrega-
ton is one OF the most wealthy and refined in
northern New York

A Bride I'm Bows Clothes.

The story of a sensational elopement comes
from the town Of Jeanette, Pa. Henry Won
Schoonhaven. a widower, aged thirty-tive, with
three children, was secretly married to Jose
phine Summersgill, aged sixteen, by an ALLIE
gheny City Clergyman. Josephine immedi-
ately donned boys clothing and went to JEAN
nette to live with her husband at the home of
the mother of his first wife. Josephine went
by the name of Joseph Lang, and her sex was
not even suspected until recently. In the
meantime she sang regularly in the choir of a
church at Adamsburg. and was found very use
full at social gatherings. One night in the
latter part of last week mother-in-law No /. be-
came suspicious because Josephine had I'M
guardedly acted like her own true self. So the
old lady listened at the door of her son-in-law 3
bedroom and overheard a conversation between
Won Schoonhaven and Josephine. The next
morning she raised an uproar and Josephine
confessed all. That day she and her husband
disappeared. the latter leaving note to the eff
feet that he had taken $500 and gone to the
west with his young wife. Won Schoonhaven
Is carpenter, and just previous to her dis
covery Josephine had announced her intention
OF learning the trade.

A QUEER REAL ESTATE SALE,
Chicago Property Worth $500, 900
Awarded to MIR. Letter for $4,000.

Chicago's big hotel, the Grand Pacific, one of
the finest in America, was sold Saturday to Levi
q. Letter for $4,000 and is to be torn down. 1t
cost $500. 900 to erect. The purchase price in
cludes not only the hotel building but the lease
OF the ground on which it stands The curious
feature OF the transaction is that the great
structure is at its prime and model high-class
hotel with patronage overaowing. Periodical
appraisement Of the real estate as a basis of
the ground rent is what brought about the
peculiar sale. The location OF the new board
OF trade just across the street and the enor-
nous rise in the value Of real estate for highly
appointed offices in the vicinity have rendered
the operation of hotel so situated worse than
non-productive investment. The decision of
the appraisers is that the hotel to permit ade-
quate income from the land must at once be
replaced by tall business block. MIR. Letter
was the owner Of the ground and after a con-
sideration of the intricate question of equities
ne was awarded the entire property on pay
ment of $40 0O0

International Pool PLAYERS

Mr.. John Roberts, it,, of London has issued
challenge through the New York Herald to
the pool players of America and in it he offers
to play any reasonable number of games of
pyramid pool for $500 or f1,OO0 a side. He
desires that half of the games shall be played
in London and the other half in the United
States, each man to pay his own travelling ex-
penses and the winner of the majority of games
to take the stakes and gate money. 1t is not
unlikely that Mr.. Roberts challenge will be ac-
cepted, as there are number of expert pool
players in America. The greatest of these,
Albert Frey, died within two months, but
Malone ran Frey very close and should this
challenge Of Roberts be accepted he will prob
ably be pltted against the English champion.

MORMONS ROUGHLY TREATED.
Taken from Their Beds and Tar and
Dry Leaves Poured Over Them.

Two Mormon elders who we're prospecting
in Marion county, Ala, getting a party of con-
verts together preparatory to starting for
Utah, were mobbed last Wednesday night.
While at the house Of one of the converts a
crowd Of masked men entered and dragged
them from their beds. They we're taken some
distance into the woods, stripped of their
clothing and covered with tar and dry leaves
After warning them that if they did not leave
the country at once they would be killed the
crowd started away. They had gone only a
short distance when two Of them came back
and set fire to the tar on the naked bodies Of
the elders. There happened to be a creek near
by and the two elders ran and plunged into it,
extinguishing the flames. They were badly
burned. how ever, but some of their converts
succeeded IN getting them safely out of the
neighborhood next day.

Gov Biggs of Delaware in an interview says
Of the peach crop: I'm the light of past expe-
rience predict that il there are no serious set
backs during the remainder of the season the
country will be flooded with the crop OF
peaches from the Delaware peninsula. There
is another thing that can be considered with
considerable satisfaction and that is there will
be lots of money in it. We growers of the Pc
ninsua have been acting very intelligently and
systematically recently and the result is that
nearly All possibility of glut has been re-
moved. Instead of depending upon two or three
cities IN which to sell our crop we have opened
up markets from Omaha to Boston. We have
perfected the shipment SO that no one city will
receive more peaches than can be disposed OF
in q single day
