Jules Bergan, who sent several pigeons

AT 8 o'clock yesterday morning the

over the river, ana then darted as
straight toward home as man could
poiat--pessibly strai9hter.
A few minutes later the younger
birds were also released. They rose,
Circled little more than their elders
had done, aud then all but three started
after the first flock.
These three seemed hopelessly lost.
They flew about in bowildered sort Of

youngest OF the lot, and the test Of their
homing instinct was too severe.

came the entire flock. They had missed
tho three, and returned for thom. They
surrounded them, and then all flow of

miasioners to the General Presbyterian
Assembly, according to the usual prac-
tice in connection with the annual
meeting OF that body, occupied most OF
the local pulpits to-day.
The weather in the morning was al-
most perfect, q trifo too warm, and the
attendance upon the several places OF
worship was generally greater than the
capacity OF the houses could aCcommo-
date.
The coming week is expected TO pro-
duCe the sensation OF the assembly-the
debate on the Briggs case, In just what
shape it will come up will not be defn-
iseIy stated.
Tho record OF the appeal from the
action OF the New York presbytery has
been placed in the hands ofthe judiciary
committee, OF which Rev, George D.
Baker, D. D., Of Philadelphia, is chair
man,
Mr.. Baker, while not the first choice
OF the Briggs men OF the assembly for
moderator, gave him their votes after
DR.. Dic!sey had declined to have his
name used us q candidate for the Office.
The committee will probably report
on Tuesday upon the regularity of@the
appeal and whether or not 1t should be
entertained, coming as it does direct
from the prOsbytery without having
gone to the synod, Upon the receipt
OF that report the debate may
be precipitated, although the prob
abilities favor postponement
until after the reports from the boards
Of the church shall have been made
and considered These are special or
ders OF business at every session until
that of Thuraday morning next.

New YoRK, May 2l,-Eugene V, Debs,
Of Terra Haute, Ind, has been in New
York several days consulting friends
and old time associates concerning the
details Of organization OF the American
Railway Union, a now labor order.
Mr., Debs was secretary and treasurer
Of the Brotherhood OF Locomotive Fire
men for dozen years, but though
unanimously reelected last fall, re'
signed. In an interview Mr.. Debs said
that although there are in the United
States from 100000 to 100000 railroad
employees, not more than 100000 arc
members OF organizations, Mr., Debs
gave as the reasons for the small men,
bershlps in the various orders now in
existence that their machinery was too
cumbersome and altogether too expen-
sive. There was also, he said, too much
one man power in the present organic
ations.
Mr.. Debs added that it was proposed
to gather all branches OF railroad en-.
ployes into tho new order, and that it's
expenses would be reduced to the min
imum. The organization will not be a
"secret oath bound society" but each
member will be bound by his simple
word. A meeting for the perfection OF
the American Railway Union oreani-
zation will be held in Chicago on June
20 and tho plans, so iar us they have
been decided upon, may be roughly out
lined as follows:
The entire country will be divided
into districts, OF which there will be
twelve. From Chicago twelve organ.
izers, one from each district, will be
cent out, and they will 20 from centre
to centro organizing, first, district head.
quarters or capitals, and after this Is
done headquarters for subdivisions.
The boundaries Of the divisions have
not yet been fixed. The subdivision
will be subordinate, OF course, to the
district capitals, and each subordinate
organization will be entitled to dele
gates in proportion to its membership,
say one to every 200. There will be no
yearly state conventians nor grand con-
ventions-these cost from $4,000 to
$4,000 each--but there will be a quad
renniai convention OF the entire order,
and sixty days before the holding of a
quadrennial convention tho lodges or
unions will elect delegates, who will
meet ut the district capitals and choose
delegates to the quadrennialconven
Each district will be entitled to dele
gates in proportion to its membership.
1t is proposed that the quadrenni0l
convention shall do its work in a day
or at most two days aud that its busi-
ness shall be mainly tho electing OF u
board OF directors Of say twenty or
thirty practical railroad men. To this
board Of directors will be entrusted the
business OF the order. We propose to
make this an organization OF rugged
workingmen. We shall study ecouomy.
We shall include every branch Of rail-
road employment from tho lowest to
the highest and without doing away
with special organizations, we shall
strive to bring all under ono common
fold"
The frat quadrennial convention OF
the American Railway Union will be
held next fall.

going to be married to DR.. William 7.

Of m engagement, but all these have

Dir. Bull was called in to attend Mrs.
Blaine professionally, when she was
lying i'll with rheumatism at the New
York hotel, almost at the very moment
when she had hoped to mako her
triumphal debut on the professional
stage, there has been suggestion OF
romance about their association. They
only recently became engaged. The
wedding will not bo long deferred. Ac.

fixed for early in June. It will be Il

trip to Europe. The bostowal Of her
heart and hand on DR.. Bull entails only
one sacrifice on the part OF Mrs. Blaine.
