A New Federation of Trainmen.

GALEsBUEG, H., Oct 13-Grand Chief Clarke,
OF the new consolidated order of railroad con-
duetors, is consulting with the trainmen ROW in
session here regarding proposed federation of
the various associations of railroad employees
which, IL Is understood, is in fair way TO be
accomplished. The Brotherhood OF Railway
Conductors was a member of the Supreme
Council, while the Order of Railway Conductors
was not. The recent absorption of the
former by the later deprived the council
OF member, SO now the council comprises
only the Brotherhood OF Locomotive Firemen
and switchmen's Union. 1t Is deemed
significant that Clarke came here from
Terre Haute, where he had just
been in conferecne with Grand Master Sergeant
of the firemen's brotherhood. Ii is known that
Sergeant is friendly TO the trainmen, and it is
believed that he and Clarke have had an
understanding regarding the new fed
Grafton The plan recommended by Clarke
will be presented TO the traiumea's
convention, and 1t Is confidently asserted
will be endorsed. II is also asserted
that in a short time the supreme eoun-
Gil will be thing of the past. Its place is to
be taken by new federation OF conservative rail-
road organizations. The slate thus far made COM
prises: The Brotherhood OF Locomotive Fire
men, Order of Railway Conductors,
Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen, Or
der of Railway Telegraphers and Brother
hood OF Station Men. This federation
would represent 1900 members. Chief Arthur
of the Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers,

and is urged to establish non-seetarisn public
Indian schools.

Office II nothing in his Judgment prevents, but
he may delegate his authority If that seems
best Everybody hopes to see the venerable
bishop of Connecticut at the head OF the cere-
mony tomorrow, and ii is earnestly desired by
the clergy OF Boston that he shall use on this
occasion the beautiful erozier which was pre-
sented to him by the members OF the Scotch
Episcopal church In recognition of the fact
that it was from the Scotch prlmus in the last
century that DR.. Samuel seabury, the first
bishop OF Connecticut, received his conSecra-
ton.
The formula OF the apostolic succession makes
necessary the presence OF at least three bishops
at ceremony OF this kind. The primus has
named az his assistants on this occasion Bishop
Clark, OF Rhode Island, and the venerable
bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, who are to act
as precentors; Bishop Niles, of New Hamp-
shire; Bishop Nicely, of Maine; Bishop Doane,
Of Albany Bishop Littleiohn, of Long Island;

BOSTON, Oct 1s.-fspecial Church people
everywhere are interested in the great event of
tomorrow in this city, the conversation OF Dr..
Philfps Brooks, now bshop-eiect OF Massach1-

have submitted with good grace. The great
body of the Episcopal church, and multitude
outside, will congratulate him heartily to-
MORROW.
The ceremony of conservation will be held in
Trinity church, In this city, the house OF wor-
ship, the parish which he has renovated and en-
larged, and which under him has become the
foremost Episcopal parochial organization in
New England. II an edihce had been built ex-
presley for the conservation OF Bishop it
could not have been more fit for the purpose
than this church. The chancei Is an immense
recess, the quarter of great sphere. 1t gives
the impression OF being too large for ordinary
services, but on an occasion such as this there
could be nothing more appropriate. The as
scmblage Of the clergy viii be most imposing

health should at the last moment prevent. He

by the bishops present, all kneeling, and by the
clergy and the congregation. This is the special
invocation of the divine blessing. This singing
Is concluded by special prayer, after which the
presiding bishop, with the other bishops pres
ent, Will lay their hands severally upon the head
of the elected bishop kneeling before them.
Then the presiding bishop will utter the
words of conservation rs follows: "Receive the
Holy Ghost for the Office and work of bishop
in the church OF God, now committed unto thee
by the imposition of our hands, in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and OF the Holy
Ghost Amen. And remember that thou stir
up the grace of God which is given thee by this
imposition of our hands, for God hath not given
us the spirit of fear, but OF power and love and
soberness."
The Bible will then be delivered to the new
bishop by the primus with brief exhortation,
after which he will proceed with the celebra-
ton of the communion, of whic Bishop Brooks
will be a partaker. This service does not differ
from the ordinary communion, except that
there is a special prayer for the new bishop.
The service of conservation will occupy about
three hours, and will be full of interest those
who delight In impressive ritual The entrance
of the bishop and clergy at the west end of the
church and their departure through the central
aisle TO the chapel will be deeply solemn pro-
cessions, beginning and ending the ceremony
with such display as may well move the heart
OF any spectator.
Bishop Brooks will at once give up HIS labors
In Trinity parish and devote himself exclusively
to the diocese. The Rev. Roland Cotton Smith,

A NEW CHURCH SOCIETY.
The United Presbyterians VIII Meet
This Evening for Organization.

The United Presbyterian.church, an outgrowth
of the former Reformed Presbyterian church of
this city, will be formally organized this even
ing. Rev. w. w. Logan, OF Portland, and Rev.
A. l. Kirkpatrick, OF Tacoma, will be present to
assist the Rev. S. Dell Johnston, the pastor.
NJ. Johnston was the pastor of the Reformed
Presbyterian church and was one of the half
dozen or more ministers of that denomination
who were ousted by the synod at Pittsburg q
year ago, after long and stubbornly contested
fight. The minority representatives have nearly
all since gone into the United Presbyterian
church, which is similar to the Reformed Pres
byterian, differing from it only in one or two
very trifiing particulars. For about two months
Mr. Johnston has been gathering his flock to-
gether and the organization to be perfected to-
day will be substantial and permanent one.
Tomorrow a church of the same denomination
will be organized at Tacoma

SENECA MUTUAL wIrHDRAws.
End OF the Insurance Company Contro-

OLYMPIA, Oct. lS.-lSpeeal. IF. r. Marvin, of
Spokane, states that thu agent of the Seneca
County Mutual Insurance Company, recently
suspended by Insurance Commissioner Weir,
announces that his company will not attempt TO
comply with the requirements of the insurance
department as to the character of assets, but
Will withdraw from Washington.
There is not purely mutual company now
doing business III the state, and, therefore, the
proposed test of the question raised as to the
right of mutuals to enter the state cannot be
had in the courts until another company OF that
character applies tor admission.

THE METHODIST MISSIONS.
Gratifying Progress OF the Work In
Seattle Suburbs.

Rev. Eugene S. stockwell, the pastor OF the
Methodist Episcopal missions, OF Seattle, is
making good progress with his work. He Is
now thoroughly familiar with the field, having
come here two years ago to establish the FREE
mont and Ballard missions, which have now
grown TO be regular charges.
Mr. Stockweli now conducts services at South
Seattle every Sunday morning at IL o'clock; at
South Park every other Sunday afternoon; at
Columbia every Sunday night, and at West
Seattle every other Sunday night OF course a
supply has to fill one or the other of these
two latter engagements. Besides the conduct
of these Sunday services, there is great deal to
be done during the week in the way of visiting
the sick and making calls.
The mission is planning to erect temporary
meeting house in the Squire tract just this side
of the Walla Walla addition. The Methodist
churches of this city and the missionary So
eiety contribute $3.50 annually toward the sup
port of the work, and the rest of the money has
to be raised in the field.

THE RAILROAD ASSESSMENT.
Board of Equalization Making Changes
in Classification and Valuation.

OLYMPIA, Oct. 13.-lspecial. 1.-The state board
of equalization continued the examination of
the railroad assessment today. 1t decided to re-
duce the railroad classes to four, combining the
third class, which embraced all standard-gauge
lines not connected with transcontinental
system, with the fourth class, embracing mar
row-gauge lines connected with q transcontin-
entail system, as it was thought that both classes
should be assessed at the same rate per mile.
The board is eliminating the valuations of side
tracks from the total railroad assessment, as
sidetracks are not assessed according to their
mileage, but other real estate is assessed, and
the addition OF their valuation to the mileage
assessment has made the statement of average
valuation in many counties erroneous.

An Mail Iatter Il Cnnnt.d.

PERSONS who read the reports of the
number OF pieces of mail matter handled
at the New York postofice may have
wondered how the figures were obtained.
Inc explanation is simple: Every piece
was actually counted. Every EMPLOYER
VINO stamps mail matter must keen an
accurate account Of the number of pieces
ne handles and must make daily report
OF the amount Of work he has done. He
must not only give the grand total, but
tell what part was in each of the four
classes of mail matter, and also how the
pieces reached the postofice.
The letters, ETC., are mailed at the
postofhce, in which case they are known
as drops" collected by carriers. arrive
by trains, or, in the case of foreign
matter, are brought by steamers. A
report must be made Of everv niece
that comes in by any one of these ways.
When one considers that an average
OF about 100000 letters alone reach the
general postOfice here every day, it will
be seen that the task of counting them
is big one. Let a person count 1 1000
and then try to get some idea of the
labor involved in keeping a record of
l,OOO times that many, and his head will
swim at the thought. AS the counting
Is done by a number of men, and the
letters are subdivided into patches. the
labor is not so enormous as might at
hrst be supposed.-New York Tribune.
