rHn MrrHoDIsr EcUmESIOAL COUN-
CTE.


The Methodist Ecumenical Council
adjourned sine die yesterday after
two weeks session at Washington Of
more than usual interest. Taken as
whole the work done was of much i'm
portance to the religious world In gem
eral and to the great Methodist Church
in particular, representing as the Coun-
ell did the opinions of great mass OF
religious and moral workers throughout
the civilized world, but chiefly in Amer
lea, England and Australia.
Advanced ground was taken on all
subjects of religious and moral reform,
and the deliberations of the body were,
as a rule, harmonious; the few excep-
tions we're occasioned by misunder-
standing Of the English and American
ideas of parliamentary usage and were
merely technical.
The tenor of the discussions showed
a general desire among the delegates
to unite all the bran ches Of the Meth
odist Church In one great and uniform
religious body. doing away. with the
points of difference which now cause the
Subdivisions and uniting the whole I'M
der one head, thus investing the church
with the strength which comes from
union. Furthermore, there was ex-
pressed commemorate desire to unite
with all Christian churches Of whatever
denomination, Presbyterian, Baptist,
Catholic or any other whose object Is
the welfare of mankind, in all works OF
moral and religious reform.
The broad and liberal spirit exhibited
by the Ecumenical Council and the gen.
eral willingness to let doctrlnal diff
ferences take care Of themselves,
or to ignore them entirely in the gen.
eral battle for the cause of righteous
ness was not the least promising feature
of the conference for the future, growth
and usefulness of the Church. AS has
been shown, the growth of Methodism
has been remarkable since the last
Council This is particularly true in
England where the percentage Of in
crease in the church has been about
double that of the country's population.
And the great and lively interest mani
tested by the Council in its work and
the earnestness of the delegates promise
still greater results for the future, espec-
tally In the line of practical religious
work.

HEAVY pLANKs
Piled on the Bellevernon Railroad Track.
A Dastardly Attempt to Wreck a PasSen
ger Train

Piled on the Bellevernon Railroad Track
A Dastardly Attempt to Wreck PasSen
ger Train.
PIrTsBURG, PA, October 2O.--A des-
perate attempt was made last evening
about seven o'clock to wreck passen-
ger train on the McKeesport and Belle
vernon road.
The Bellevernon accommodation
which arrives at McKeesport at 5:3S p.
M, had narrow escape from being
ditched and many passengers injured.
At point between Charloeri and Nc
Mahan station the engineer observed
some obstruction on the road ahead and
only succeeded in stopping his engine a
few feet from the object. An investig1-
ton discovered the fact that number
of heavy planks, two inches thick and a
foot wide had been piled upon the rail-
road In such manner that had the
engine run upon them IL would have
been ditched in an instant and the pas
senger cars would likely have been piled
In mass upon 1t.
The trainmen removed the obstruc-
tion and proceeded on their way as soon
as possible, but not until Conductor
Sharra had made all investigation pos
sible, but without success. Before the
train moved on a man named Turner,
living some distance from the track,
came over to see what was wrong and
showed the trainmen the pile OF lumber
from which the lumber had been taken.
The object for the attempted train
wrecking is not known, but the railroad
company will have the matter most
thoroughly investigated
Later news from Charleroi, where the
attempt was made to wreck the Nc
Keesport and Bellevernon train last
evening, is to the effect that the train
did dash into the obstruction on the
track, but the engineer had checked the
speed and very little damage was done.
Several of the passengers were bruised.

IfGov. RUSSELL does not'sweep Mas
saehusetts for the Democratic ticket 1t
will not be because he hasn't beaten
his adversarles at every point In the
campaign. They have refused to meet
him in joint debate, and Mr.. ALLEN, the
Republican candidate, has retired from
the stump because of illness, the physi-
clan prescribing a rest from the ardu-
Gus duties Of the campaign being the
Republican State Committee.
Here is a sample Of the kind of cam
-paignlng with which Gov. RUSSELL is
pesaly,ing the efforts Of his adverse
ries:
Now, M friends, before the campaign
gets much oIosr we propose 70 go pretty
thoroughly into TINS question Of prices
cannot tonight 60 eyer it In detail, but
/ have brought with me list of articles In
one line. prepared at my request bv a COM
petent expert in one Of the Leading dry
goods houses OF Boston whose sales snP9unt
70 millions Of dollars a year. 10 has been
prepared under the direction OF tue heads
OF departments and the supervision OF the
head Of the house. And here 1t Is. (SnoW-
ing list over two yards lOng)
This list represents tWenty-four DEPART
ments In that house, each exhibiting dis
tinct line Of goods. Twenty-Five Of them,
embracing l12 kinds OF goods, and goods In
everyday use by our people, show an al
vance in price on all these goods on an
average Of nearly 20 per cent. over the
prices Of September, 1890.
On the other two lines the cost OF the
goods has advanced, but the counter prices
FOR the present remain the same. And on
all these goods the Mckinley bill has raised
the tariff duty. These goods, without
now giving them in detail, are the miscel-
laneOus goods found IN every dry goods
house. ] will later submit the table Tor
publication. Investigations made IN other
lines confirm our contention that, as a
rule, where the Mckinley bill has raised
duties it has raised prices.
When Speaker REED, after the late
Congressional elections which resulted
in a Democratic tidal wave sweeping
MCKINLEY and the Billion Dollar Con-
gress out Of power, declared that his
party was beaten by "the shopping
women" did he not admit that prices
had been raised since the passage Of the
Mckinley bill? II not, what did he
mean? And what did HARRISON and
MCKINLEY mean when they expressed
their contempt for "cheapness"? The
Mckinley tariff raised the average duty
SO per cent. to force importers to raise
their prices, and thus enable protected
American manufacturers to do the
same. This it has done, else the bill
has failed Of its object aud there is no
protection in it. When Democratic
newspapers published lists Of increased
prices, MCKNLEY's partisans accused
them Of 'Iying." But they have not yet
explained how 'the shopping women"
beat the Republican party if they did
not pay these increased prices over the
counter.
Gov. RUssELL's authoritative list Of
increased prices under the Mckinley
tariff will probably tell US nothing we
do not already know, but it will serve to
remind others besides "the shopping
women" that the tariff IS every cent a
tax on the American consumer.

The Alliance as we'll as the Democrats
are pounding the Mckinley bill and l
think two-thirds of the voters Of this State
detest that measure, though there will not
as many vote as they feel The fall in the
price of wool has hurt Mckinley greatly,
and the only reply he can make TO the ar

not for his bill prices would have fallen
lower, which is very feeble way Of avoid
