WASHINGTON, D. c., May 21.-Com-
missioners 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 almost perfect a
trihe too warm, and the attendance
upon the several places OF worship
was generally greater than the
capacity OF the houses could accommo-
date. Tne coming week is expected to
produce the sensation OF the assembly,
the debate on the Briggs case. In Just
what shape it will come up will not be
definitely stated. The record OF the
appeal from the action Of the New York
Presbytery has been placed in the
hands of the judiciary Committee OF
which Rev. George d. Baker, OF Phil
adelphia, is Chairman. Mr.. Baker while
not the first choice of the Briggs men
of the assembly for moderator, gave
him their votes after DR.. Dckey had
declined TO have his name used as a
candidate for the Office. The commit
tee will probably report on Tuesday
upon the regularity of the appeal and
whether or not it should be en-
tertained, coming as it does d.
rect from the Presbytery with
out 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 con-
sidered. These are special orders OF
business at every session until that Of

y MARIETTA, ONO, May 21.-George
Lanktord and his wife Villa now lie
dead in their home on South Fifth
street.
About five months ago George Lank-
ford was married to Villa Tame. Their
married life has not been verey happy,
as she was insaney Jealous Of him.
Other parties kept telling her stories OF
her husbands attentions to women and
thus kept them both in a continuous
turmoil.
This is supposed TO be The real cause
Of the trouble which occurred about IL
o'clock this morning.
Lankiord secured seven dollars from
ais wife and came up town. She being
= afraid that he would go TO meet some
other woman came up after him. On
finding him they returned to their
house, reaching there about one o'clock.
= Lloyd Lankford, brother Of the hus-
band, was in the front room. Husband
and wife went into the sittiug-rOom.
In few minutes they began quarrel
ing abou: the seven dollars she had
given him. A two-year old daughter Of
frs. Nellie Coach was sitting in Mrs.
Landlords lap.

just then Lloyd Lankford entered.

LankfOrd, in company with MS
brother kept a saloon In labels Hotel

ford as far as known was true to her

A singular circumstance is that only
few months ago. Landlords mother
was killed by her second husband in

coroner's inquest will be held to-mor-

thing very sensational will be developed
then.

New YORK, May 21.-Eugene V
Debs, of Terre Haute, Ind, has been In
New York several days consulting
friends and old time associates concern
ing the details Of organization Of the
American Railway Union, 8 new labor
order. Mr.. Debs was Secretary and
Treasurer OF the Brotherhood OF Loco
motive Firemen for dozen years but
though unanimously reelected last TALL,
resigned. In an interview Mr.. Dsos
said that although there are In the
United States from 100000 to
/, 900, 600 railroad employees, not
more than 10000 are mem
bers Of organizations. Mr.. Debs
gave as the reasons for the small men,
berships 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 organiza-
tions. Mr. Debs added that IL was pro-
posed to gather oil branches OF railroad
employees into the new order and that
its expenses would be reduced TO the
minimum. The organization will not
be "secret oath bound society,"" but
each member will be bound by his sim.
pie word.
THE PLANS.
A meeting for the perfection OF
the American Railways Union orgini-
zation will be held In Chicago on June
20 and the plans so far as 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 sent
out, and they will go from center TO
center organizing first district head
quarters or capitals aud after this 10
done headquarters for Subdivisions
The boundaries OF the divisions haYe
not yet been fixed. The subJiivisl
will be subordinate, OF course, TO
district capitals and each subordiDa
organization will be entitled 10 de
gates In proportion TO its membersI
say one to every two hundred. Z
will he no yearly State conventional
grand coGventions-these cost from>
s35, 200 TO $50, 600 each-but there will
be- quadrennial convention OF the
entire order and sixty days be-
fore holding Of quadrenn!al conven-
tlon the lodges or unions will elect dele
gates to the quadrennial convention.
Each district will be entitled 10 dele
gates in proportion to its membership.
| Ii Is proposed that the qusdrennisl con-
yention shall do its work In day or al
most two days, aud that It's business
shall be mainly the electIng OF board
OF directors OF say twenty or thirty
practical railroad men. To this board
| OF directors will be intrusted the busi-
ness OF the order. We propose 10 make
this organization OF rugged working
men. 1--WE shall study economy. We
shall include every branch OF railroad
employment from the lowest TO the
highest, and without doing away with
special organizations we shall strive 70.
bring all under one common fold"
The first Quadrennial convention OF
the American Railway Union will be
held next fall.

RENTS PIPES FOR A LIVING.
The Curious Occupation Followed by an
Old Turk at COnstantinople.

The Curious Occupation Followed by an
Old Turk at Constantnople.
In one of the great caravansarieS of
Constantinople ! saw an old Turk fol
lowing d merchant trade that to me
seemed the most peculiar of any in all
the world, says writer in the Globe
Democrat. This business was that of
renting pipes for temporary usage by
the guests of the hotel His stand was
little red-curtained bazaar, in which
he sat with table before him. On
this table were ranged the largest va
riety of pipes that it was ever my op-
portunity to behold. He had pipes of
all nationalities and many that had no
nationality at all. The German meer-
schaum was not wanting, nor was
the American corncob absent. Briar
pipes from England were there, and
Irish dhudeens in great numbers. Be-
sides, he had the long ,rubber-stemmed,
cool-smoking Turkish pipes, and the
little slim-stemmed opium pipes of
Chinese persuasion. Behind him,
ranged in several scores of little wood
en- pockets, were tobaccos of every con-
ceivable variety. He rented his pipes
full to the brim, with the renters own
choice of tobacco, for the very small
sum of one scutarse, which is less than
one penny of our own money. How
ever, the renter was compelled to
leave small sum of money as security
for the pipe. Count was kept of the
number of pipes in use by a system of
crosses made on wooden board, which
was evidently plain to the keeper, but
dark mystery TO all others. He GER
tainlv did thriving business. and his
money Golfer was well filed with coin.
He stated to me that he secured his
variety of pipes from travellers, many
of them having been presented
to him and others purchased; some
few, such as the Chinese and. Indian
pipes, he had sent for. He asked me
to secure him such pipes as ! observed
him to be without, and it was only the
other day that I mailed him; beauty of
the American Indian type. His collec-
ton is by this time undoubtedly worth
thousands of dollars, and no doubt
will, after his death, be secured for
some of the European museums.

THE CHICAGO DERBY.

As an attraction for the sporiively in
clined, as well as q record breaking
event, the Chicago derby last Saturday
was even more than was anticipated.
The crowd that witnessed the race is
claimed to have been the largest that
ever assembled at race course. The
event, as might have been expected, was
full of snrpises, not tha least of which
was the winning of the great stake by a
colt that was not among the favorites
and not even counted among the posi-
bilities. Boundless takes first place for
the season in the list of speedy 2year-
olds, and, it is expected Will bring his
winning record still lower before step
ping into the next class.
The derby, as is rot generally known,
is a mile and halt race run by 2-year-
olds that are entered for the event as
soon as the dam is known to be with
foal, entry being made upon the pedi-
gree of tie sire, and while the race
enures to the credit of the colt, it Is
made primarily for the benefit Of the
sire, hence the especial interest taken IN
the derby by horse people generally.
The time made at the Chicago event
2:36-over a mile and half course, was
equal to mile in / minute and "a sec
onds, which is certainly a fee for a
2-yeal-old colt under the saddle.
