Worsbiped In the Mill.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. With q
ponderous mill for church, protected
by $50 watchmen, strong fence, and
1000 soldiers in easy reach, the nom
union men in the great Homestead steel
plant worshiped God yesterday morn

under such circumstances as made
them singularly impressive.
The day was almost featureless, so
far as any change in the labor struggle
Is concerned. Another man left the
mill in the evening, and was assisted to
Pittsburg by the locked-out men. Most
of these latter left town fer the day
and picnicked in the woods.

ST, PETERSBURG, Aug. Letters here
from Ashekend, town of Asiatic Russia
In Syr Daria, report that news in regard
to serious riots in that place On July 6, in
connection with cholera epidemic, have
been suppressed by the government. and
the strictest censorship is being exercised.
From these letters it is learned that ma

from cholera, became greatly excited aud
determined to put an end to the murder
Gus practices which they imagined were
being employed in cases .
the unfortun..fes stricken with
the terrible disease The widest
rumors are current vi The crueities inflicted
by medical men il causing immediate
death to patients and thtse stories have
had the effect of arousing the fury of the
people to the highest pitch. The deputy
governor has been terribly maltreated, and
killed, and furious hand to hand conflict
with the army followed. Finally rein
forcements quelled and dispersed the
mob.
The Sarts, however, again reassembled
and took to ambush in the mosques and
buildings, from which they were extri-
catod after a terrible scene Of carnage.
The character of the struggle may be
imagined when it is known that sixty
Sarts were killed and hundreds of them
wounded.
The soldiers, too, suffered heavily, the
Russian loss being fifteen killed and many
wounded.
Many arrests have been made of persons
concerned in the disorders.
1t is feared that there may be renewal
of the troubles and precautions are bein g
taken accordingly.

little attention was Eaid to the world s fair
bill.
1t does not often happen that a benevo-
emf society declines bequest of 800 900.
But this sum was recently refused by the
Baltimore society for the protection Of
children from cruelty and immortality, for
the reasons that the conditions of the be-
quest necessitated changing the name Of
the society and charging the scope of its
work. Mrs Augusta Markley, daughter
of the late William G. COME, made tie be
quest providing the society, with a very
long name should place before it the words
The William C. Comic, and after 1t The
words, and the prevention of cruelty to
animals. The members of the society
thought it nad name enough and scope
enough already.

Lingers no more to look behind,
But raises high his bossy shield.
And casts his banner TO the wind.
It will not save thee to delay,
Shall the wide ocean cease to roar
Because thy wild and dangerous way
Lies to its dimly visioned shore.
Shake off thy dreams; let faith and prayer
Light the drear ways thy path is straight;
CoLtagion fills the misty air;
And clustering snares around thee walt.
