number are being fed and lodged by the

Owing to the inability Of j. II. Smith q

CHICAGO, Dec. 2s.-An effort is about TO
be made 20 establish permanently in Chi
cago sect known as the Reorganized
Church Of Jesus Christ OF Latter Day
SAINTS. In a modest way a gathering Of
those in the city who maintained this
faith has been held, but not until now has
there been any attempt at organization.
The headquarters Of the denomination
are at Lamont, Decatur county, Iowa.
Within few weeks, II is said, missions
will be established in different parts Of
the city where services will be held regu'
larly. A preliminary meeting was
held today at No. 2l3 West Madison
street. The people present were more
earnest than numerous. Elder L. C..
Briggs Of Iowa preached sermon in
which the fundamental principles of the
faith were explained. The sect declares
the teachings Of the Mormon prophet Jo-
seph Smith 10 be the truth, but rejects the
doctrine of plural marriage.

That Is Everybody Who Is a Railway
President

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-The Journal Of
Financ6 says: The date for the meeting
of railway presidents to complete the or
ganiZation of the new association has
been changed from January 10 January
5, and the place Of meeting has also been
changed from Chicago TO the Windsor
hotel. New York city. This change was
made Saturday by the executive commit
tee.
In response President Miller tele-
graphed, asking IL IL would be convenient
TO hold the meeting in Chicago January
s. II was found that quite a number OF
railway presidents, some Of them repre-
senting the largest lines in the
country, could not conveniently
attend the meeting on that date
and in that city. As result
OF this. a conference was held Friday be.
tween some Of the largest interests in-
yolved, aud kilograms were sent out ask
ing II the 5th Of January and the Windsor
hotel in this city would be a convenient
time and place for the meeting. Satur-
day responses were received asserting TO
the choice. and the call will be issued
tomorrow by Mr.. Miller naming the
changed date and place.
The best judgment OF those deeply in-
terested is that at this meeting the new
agreement will be unanimously adopted
and be put In force at the earliest practi-
cable day.

soon after extended the prohibition to all

Italy is satisfied that Germany is taking

American pork and lard upon similar as

1t is known that the government is

less affected by the new tariff
than that of other nations. II is believed
that the matter has been taken up by
Secretary Blaine, and that the negotia-
tons are pending. The agents Of a num-
ber of American shippers are now in this
country. They say that the removal of
the restrictions against the United States
would prove of the greatest benefit, and
that they are satisfied large market is
awaiting such action.

Mysterious Circumstances,

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 3S.-A despatch TO
the Sentinel tonight from Superior, Wis,
reports the death at Binghampton, N. Y,
of George Hull, who left Superior a few
weeks ago TO spend the winter east. Hull
was the originator of the "Cardiff giant"

conflicting. One attributes it TO suicide,
another says il occurred the day follow

Gates, who lost $500 in New York. The
Cardiff giant was dug up on Hulfs farm
about twenty years ago. and Hull made
considerable money out of il before the
