strike in few days In favor of the
strikers.
A meeting, which was by the way,
purely accidental, of nearly every
railway official of prominence of all
the roads cen teripg IN this city, was
held at the Menger hotel last night.
The conversation of course, was Sec
ret, as the gentlemen met behind
locked doors, but the strike was the
absorbing topic and the attitude of
other roads to the 8. A. & A. P. was
also discussed.

The PAULIsT MIssIoN.-Rev. Edw.
Brady preached last night to large
congregation, at st. Mary's Church, on
the Last Judgment. He adduced sew
eral arguments in support of this doc
trine from reason and revelation, and
dwelt on the fact in all its terrible de-
tails, abiding to the pain of separation
winch the unjust must suffer when sep
arated from the just, and then to the
overwhelming shame and confusion the
sinner must endure when his guilty
deeds show up in the searching light of
Gods all-seeing eye like ghostly mon
sters, and he finds himself an object of
detestation and horror, not only in the
sight of God but before angels and men
as well, in vain calling on the mount
aims to fall on him and cover his
shame. Our stand on that terrible day
must depend on our present action.
Many who now seem in the eyes of
men faithful servants, shall then, with
no cloak of hypocrisy to conceal their
guilt, hear the terrible words Of con-
demnation, Depart from me forever,
We accused"
