Suing the Old Trustees.

BUFFALO, Sept. 23.-The trustees of
the Empire Saving Bank, the successor
of the wrecked National, have begun
action against the fifteen trustees of
the latter institution with a view of
testing their liability for the loss caused
by the defalcation of Dan Armstrong
and McCredie. The complaint sets
forth the duties of trustees, citing IN
particular "a vigilan, supervision and
oversight of the officers and persons
employed" and the making of report
based on personal investigation of the
bank affaiIs.

Good Scores Made by the Rifem en-The Ger
mania Club SHOOTS for Bplseyes-Ths
Championship Contest

The number Of rflemen who generally
spend day at target practice at Shell
Mound was not as large as usual yesterday.
The pleasant change in the weather caused
many OF them to take trips into the interior
and enjoy days outing in the country.
There were many marksmen present who
wanted to break in their guns for the cham
pionsnip match which will take place at
this range on Sunday next. During the
morning hours the day proved to be good
one for rifles shooting. The light was
steady, and the moist atmosphere kept the
guns in prime condition. The shooters APP
peared TO change with the weather. and
during the forenoon were as cool as the at
mosphere, and appeared to place their
shots wherever they wished them.
In the afternoon, when the sun broke
through the clouds and tie variable light
caused constant change Of bright and dark
on. the targets, the result became more
variable, and many off shots were the
result.
There was a good representation OF the
National Guard at the range. Conn any Il
OF the First Regi ment was out in force and
made some good scores. Com panies \ and
OF the Fifth Regiment were also out for a

THE MARIA RICKMERs.

ballast, and Is rugged as fve-masted bark,
with double t0pgallant sails and single
royals on four Of her masts and skysails on
three, carrying altogether sail area equal
TO about 81, 900 square feet
An unusual feature of the Maria Rick
mers is her being fit.ed with triple expansion
machinery or sufficient power to drive her
through Gains and light winds at a speed
Of about seven knots, by means Of double
bladed feathering propeller, which will not
interfere with the ships steering when
moving under sail alone.
The Maria RickmeTs is now at sea on the
way TO Singapore on her maiden voyage.
The passage from Clyde to Barry In ballast
was made in AZ hours under her own
steam. The ship will usually be employed
In carrying rice from Burmah to Bremen,
where Messrs. Rlckmers have large rice
mills.
As compared with the big American ship
Shenandoah the Maria Rckmers is 90 feet
longer, one foot less beam, and has the same
draught as the Shenandoah. At the same
time she carries nearly 1000 more yards OF
canvas and has much larger tonnage. The
Shenandoah is now the third largest sailing
vessel in the world, although undoubtedly
the largest wooden vessel aflOat.
The nearest competitor to the Maria Rick
meTs is the huge 6Ye-masted sailing ship La
France, which is or the same length, 375 feet,
is one foot wider, but has less draught and
- III net tOuuagt ~ TONS less IL Is clalHleO
for the Mar RckmeTS that she can make
from 13 70 10 knots an hour with sail power
alone. Her steam-p0w is purely auxiliary
and is only to be used in case of Gains. Her
speed YET remains TO be determined, how
ever, and her ability to make what she
claims is doubted by sailors on this side of
tie globe.
American shipmasters say she lacks that
grace of line and ease of movement for
which American ships are noted, and that
she is too clumsy to develop any great de-
gree Of speed.

them how each and all could, no matter
what their age and size, help the good cause
along.
The discourse of the Rev. T. Waters from
Alaska, where The children have been ac-
customed to make up and send huge boxes
Of clothing and other useful articles every
wear. was greatly appreciated by all present.
His anecdotes of children's work were
unique and impressive For instance. when
q congregation of cbildgen were asked 10
contribute to the plate at the door OF the
church one little boy hadn't any money,
aud, finally waiting until the last, he asked
the man at the door TO hold the plate down
lower, and finally to place it or the floor.
This being done the boy stepped into the
plate, and said that as he had not got any
thing else he would give himself The
speaker asked all present to give themselves
I'D to the work, as il was a mistake TO
think that because they were little
they could not do any good. Why,
said be, there was once little
chimney-sweep, and he met little friend
VINO was in the same business, WHO was
washed clean and dressed up IN his best
clothes on week day. Where are you
going top cried he to his friend. Oh,
am of to a missionary meeting, was the
reply. I'm a partner IN tue concern, ana
am just going to call IN and see now Tue
business is getting along. so recOhect,
children, you are all Individually Interested
In the success Of our business"
All those children were then called upon
TO rise who wished to contribute in any way
to the big bag to be made up for the poor
people in Alaska. and a general uprising
was the consequence. Quite a collection
was made, and the children's ef-
forts in the Alaskan wilds are sure
to be appreciated and welcomed. The
music and hymns were all sung in unison,
and the service must have caused deep
impression not only on the children but on
their elders who were present

A PIONEER PRIEST.
Sketch Of One of the Earliest Settlers in
San Francisco.

San Francisco.
Rev. Father Anthony LanGlois who was
recently buried in Lone Mountain, came to
this coast before the sandy hills, the muddy
lagoons, the scTubby vegetation and the
few scattered sbanties were named San
Francisco. He was one Of the first. if not
the first resident priest of the parish Of
San Francisco. The Mission of Dolores
was then far away from the city proper.
He had charge OF Vallejo-street Church.
which prospered under his care. He was
born IN Canada. near Quebec, more than SO
years ago. He came TO the Pacific Coast in
1872 in company with another priest, Rev.
J. B. Z. BoIduc, deceased. The two mis-
sionaries went to Oregon. where they were
heartily received by that great Oregonian
philanIhrOpist, the late DR.. John McLough-
lin, firm Roman Catholic and the grea:
chief factor Of the Hudson Bay Company
in its grand days, whose memory IS fresh IN
the minds of the pioneers Of Oregon and
their descendants.
These pioneer priests preached 10 war
like Indians the gospel Of peace, and TO the
early settlers they called back the religious
principles and the faith OF youth.
From Oregon Father Langois came alone
to California, where, owing TO his
knowledge Of the Spanish language, he was
