that year some other arrangements Ola satlstac-
tory nature might be arrived at.
Srd Member for Frederiksted's Country
District )Hewit): His Fxcellency the Vice
Governor had ON a previous stage Of the dis
cussions said that the question Of the $500 for
Attendance to the Poor is apart from the other
question. and is subject to the Councils vote
but it appeared to him that both matters are
subject to the Councils vote; and both items
are on the Money Bills every year; It's mere
lv the point of sanction to a contract Tor 4
wears. whether another term shall commence,
which is to be decidedin connection withthe Or
dinance. which leaves it to the Councilto decide
for or against every time the contracted perlod
expires.
The Acting Vice Governor would maintain,
that the medical attendance to the poor IN the
country is a matter that does not concern the
question which is before the Council today.
The contracts which it is proposed to renew
now with the consent of the Council to-day,
have been in existence for many years, as
thew originally were warranted by the Ordinan-
ces Of 18th Nav 1866 and 5th February 1863,
and he would again recommend the honorable
Council to consent to the renewal of these con-
tracts as usual.
The C~hairman: For the information of the
Council would state that in the Money Bill
under the Sanitary Department there appears an
amount of Al 200 as Salaries for 2 public Ply
sicians a $500 p. a. which have formerly been
defrayed according to Ordinance, but are posted
on the Money Bill, agreeable to what was adj
opted in the Councils Meeting on'the LIST March
1875: and on the Money Bill for the Poor
Department there is also posted an amount or
$500 for medical attendance to poor IN the
country. Both items are then equally MS nach
subject to the vote of tho Council, even as both
items are named in the Governments ietter
which we have under discussion.
3rd Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (Heoitt) said it would seem to DO
hut natural. that when the Council now agrees
to a renewal for 4 years, then it binds itself
to grant the funds, whether under the Money
Bill or elsewhere for that term.
The Aetna Vice GoUernOT: The two con-
tracts with the Communal Physicians at S0OO
pa for attendance to the Poor III Christian
sted and the sick at Richmond, as we'll as the
sick in Frederiksted and the Communal IloSpl'
tai there were as already stated originally es-
tablished by the Ordinances OF 1lth May 1000
and 9th February 1869, and these Ordinances"
REQUIRED that. the term Of engagement no tor
4 years at a time. The other arrangement
with regard to the poor III the country Dls'
trict is of q much later date, and the amounts
for carrying 1t out are Always o'o Vn tW9
YEARLY Budgets. If the contracts mentioned
IN those two ordinances were to be removed
for only one vyear, the Governments hands
would be fettered, and there might arise some
difficulty in getting physicians; they are
however absolutely required and must be pro-
vided. He would again urgently recommend
he Council to adopt the proposal and consent
or the renewal for 4 years more.

THE COMMON FLY.
Its MetamOrphosis and an Explanation of

ITS MetamorphOsis and an Explanation of
Its Disappearance.
How many people are there whom
the harmless but annoying little house
fly does not only worry but sometimes
drive to distraction; and yet how few
there are whose chronological knowl-
edge is of sufficient breadth to allow of
their tracing it from its first existence
to full-grown fly.
Does not the question often arise as
to its mysterious and sudden appear
ance? Summer after summer they pre-.
sent themselves for personal annoy-
ance, in great abundance, and strangely
enough appear always in fully-devel-
oped proportions; yet with the same
yearly regularity they as mysteriously
disappear, leaving no trace of their
existence behind.
Let US follow one of these little dip
ferrous insects through it's metamor-
phosis.
During the month of August the Iv

Their lives are of short duration. for

MR. DowIE's DRAMATIC POWER
Continues to Attract Large Audiences to
His Faith Cure Meetings.

Continues to Attract Large Audiences to
His Faith Cure Meetings.
Rev. John Alex. Dowie, who has Gre
ated a great stir among local believers in
faith cure, preached again to large audi
ence at the Liberty Street NJ. E Church
last evening. The subject of his discourse
was: 'The Two Chains; Good and Evil. /"
Mr. Dowie illustrated his SER
mon with chart, representing
two chains, one painted in letters of gold,
symbolical of "Jesus. Salvation, Health,
Life and Heaven" and the other. in black
and standing for evil, Satan, Sin, Dis
ease, Death and Hades" Mr.. Dowie
charged ali the sin and disease of the world
to Satan, from the fall of Eve to the pres
ent, and suspected the earth of having been
the home of Satan and his imps before
God remodeled it for the use of man.
He charged women with the sins of the
world through the power of Satan in Eden,
and also credited women with the saliva
tion of mankind, as the mother of the
Savior.
The sermon was filled with arguments
and quotations bearing upon Mr.. Dowie's
special theme of 'healing through faith in
Jesus" He is quite dramatic in his style of
oratory, and at times he appears more
like an actor than a minister. Notwith-
standing the views he holds Mr.. Dowie is
not a man of strong eccentricities His
views are expressed in plain earnest and
cautious manner, and he talks about the
cures that he has witnessed with absolute
faith i'll their causes.
To DISPATCH reporter he said that he
was educating the people in his first SER
mons and that no attempt would be
made to heal the sick by
laying on of hands until the last of the
week. He believes that absolute faith in
the method of cure is the only essential
requisite, and is preparing his followers for
the divine healing to take place later on.
He says that he has never profted 1 cent
by his emission work" in this direction.
He and Mrs. Dowie have devoted their
lives to the work evidently from conscien-
tious motives. He and Mrs. Dowie have
suite of rooms at the Monongahela House,
where during the day he is constantly en-
gagged in literary work.

BIG REDUCTIONS ASKED FOR.

Carnegie, Phipps u Co. Intimate the Char
acter of the New Scale.
Superintendent Schwab has been in con-
ference with a committee from the Edgar
Thomson Steel Works in regard to the new
sliding scale of wages which the firm pro-
poses shall 60 into effect the first of the
year. The conference was held in the gen.
eral offices, and scale the firm would like
to adopt was presented to the men. Their
scale, however, is not official, as the men
were asked to prepare one, when the two
will be compared, and if possible an agree
ment arrived at. The men say they will
have their converting department scale
ready in about two weeks.
The scale as presented to the men by the
firm would make some very heavy cuts,
cutting some of them as high as go cents to
the ton, while the per cent of reduction pro-
posed will run all the way from 13 to 60 per
cent This reduction will not affect the
laborers, and will only be made on the
tonnage men, which, among the 1000 men
employed at the mills, will make an all
around reduction of about 10 per cent. 1t
is not thought, however, the reduction
finally will be so great as the above. As
soon as the firm has arranged the scale with
the converting mill employees it will COM
menee on the rail mill, and then other de-
partments, preferring to take each depart
ment separately All the mold settlers,
mold swingers and pull arounds in the con-
verting departments are to be done away
with and new machinery put in to do the

"But, however, I believe I am free to
make this kind of a suggestion: That if
the operators will grant the advance asked
for on all coal mined for the home market
and leave the balance of the question to a
board of arbitrators, the miners will sub

BLOWN OUT TO SEA-.
That Is Thought to Have Been the
Fate of Four Yachtsmen,
MISSING SINCE SUNDAY MORNING.
The Men Sailed Away Then and Have Not
Been Heard From Since.
THE RECENT BIG STORM CAUGHT THEM
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPArcH.1

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The sloop yacht
Geraldine, with four well-known yachtsmen
of South Brooklyn on board, went out from
GraEesend Bay on Sunday morning and
have not been heard from since. Those on
board were Edward Denton, Albert Turner,
of the yacht Lone Star; A. Gage, of the
yacht Phoenix, and Joseph Thompson, Of
the catboat Bessie R. 1t was their inten-
tion to go off Rockaway Shoal in the hope
of getting a shot at some ducks or to troll
for bluefsh.
When the gale of Sunday afternoon
broke they were outside as far as is known.
Their families fear they were blown out to
sea, in which case their chances would not
be at all good, unless they were picked up
by some larger craft.
The Geraldine was a Pavonia Yacht Club
boat, but for the past two seasons she has
been lying almost all the time in Gowanus
Bay, or Gravesend Bay. She is 80 feet
long over all and fairly seaworthy
boat in ordinary heavy weather.
Nothing has been heard from the
missing men by the family of any of them,
though heretofore they invariably have
sent word home when weather-bound. They
expected to return on Sunday evening.
All the missing men are residents of South
Brooklyn, and are well-known by yachts
men along the Brooklyn water front.
