ANGER AT PLYMOUTH.
Beecher's old Church in q
State of Excitement.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Aug. 8.-There is
much sorrow and Indignation among the
older members of Plymouth Church con-
gregation in this city because the Ply
mouth collection of hymns, for nearly 40
years associated with the name of Henry
Ward Beecher is TO be thrown out Of the
church and new collection, compiled by
the Rev. Lyman Abbott, the present pas
tor, substituted for it.
The work was a labor Of love with the
great preacher, he having spent years in
collecting the best hymns.
DIR. Abbott set about the enterprise OF
putting the Beecher hymnal out of the old
Beecher Church with considerable caution
and with outward evidence of tenderness
for the feelings OF those who were so affec-
tionately welded to the Beecher traditions.
He lamented the rather cumbersome size
of the Plymouth collection, and said OF
that were never sung He sent around to
the different members of the congregation
and asked them to indicate their favorite
hymns, that no ones feelings might be
hurt should new hymnal be substituted.
He approached Mrs. Beecher on the sub
ject.
Mrs. Beecher IL 81 years of age, but
bright of intellect She clings ardently to
every memory and association connected
with her husband. She feels hurt at DIR.
Abbotts action in changing the hymnal,
and has told him so. She said to DR.. Alb
bott that Mr.. Beecher had devoted SO many
years labor to the compilation of the
Plymouth collection, had made it so much
labor of love in which his whole heart
was engaged, that it seemed pity to OBJ
literate this monument to his memory.
DR.. Abbott, however, was not to be
moved from his purpose. Hewent on with
the work of making a new hymnal, which
is at last completed and in the hands of
the publishers. 1t will be delivered to the
congregation on DR.. Abbott's return to his
charge this fall. He is now In England.
The new hymnal, instead of 400 con-
tains only 600 hymns, and many of them
are the work of young men not conspicu-
ously noted for lyric gifts.

charged with entering the house OF n

ry and money to the amount of $500. The
watch that she had was a portion of this
booty. Jennie was found at her homo and

Socialistic Congress at Zurich Eject
Them by Force.
ZURICH, Aug. S.-Yesterday's session Of
the International Socialistic Congress was
marked by great deal OF excitement.
First there was heated debate on the
question whether anarchistic and indepen-
dent Socialists, duly certified as delegates,
should be permitted to attend the Con-
gress. Mr.. Cahan, of tho United States,
advocated the exclusion of the French and
Dutch delegates. Finally resolution was
carried to admit delegates only from socie-
ties recognizing the necessity of the organi-
zation of labor concurrently with political
action. The adoption of this resolution,
whith was tantamount to the exclusion Of
Anarchists, led to great uproar. The
avowed Anarchist delegates positively re-
fused to withdraw. Several Of them had
to be elected by force. In the midst Of tho
excitement Herr Landauer, q Berlin An
archist, used a stick and precipitated a
hand-to hand fight, in which he was at
length overpowered by the bystanders

MD/A'S BURDEN,
No Market Anywhere for the
White Metal.

LONDON, Aug. SIN the House OF
Lords yesterday the Earl Of Northbrook,
sometime Governor General of India, called
the attention Of tho House to the existing
obstacles to the importation of manufac-
tured silver arising from the compulsory
hall marking law in England. He said
that the silver in the hands Of the peopls
Of India was estimated to amount in value
to from e130, 600, 900 to f150, ,O0O 900.
Owing to the stoppage of the free coin
age Of silver by the Indian governments
the people were unable to find q market
for their metal and were sustaining enor-
nous losses. The abolition of the hall
mark law in England, together with free
trade in articles manufactured from silver,
would, he declared, mitigate the evils
brought about by the stoppags of free
coinage.
The Earl of Kimberley, Secretary Of
State for India, admitted that 1t was de-
sirable to change the law. Silver manu-
facturers in England were, however. op-
posed to the abolition of the law compell-
ing their goods to bear hall mark. He
saw no reason why the various standards
of manufactured silver ought not to exist
in England the same a. In ether countries
Lord Hcrschell, Lord High Chancellor,
said he had been advised that there were
no large boards of silver in India. During
the famine vast quantities of silver orna-
ments had been sent to the mints, where
they had been converted into rupees The
estimate "a to the value of the ornaments
among the natives was greatly over-rated
one.
The Earl Of Northbrook moved that the
Secretary of State for India submit to the
House the papers he had on the subject.
The Earl of Kimberley promised that he
would do 80.

Danger
Bravely Faced

In panics, whether on fields
of commerce or of war, the
greatest disasters arise from
want of cool, concerted, in

In these times mutual,
legitimate support helps to
restore confidence. The Cal
lender, McAuslan & Troup
Co., wishing to do what it
can to dispel unnecessary
fear of the soundness of the
savings banks of the city,
has decided to take, in ex-
change for merchandise, an
order from depositors direct

alent to the value of merchan-
disc sold.
By this means those who
cannot draw money at once

they have deposits, can pur-
chase necessaries by their
bank books as effectually
and cheaply as if they had
cash in hand.

LONDON, Aug. 8.-News Of sad acci-
dent to a party of excursionists was re-
ceived last evening from Port Talbot, atown

No Special Session Of the City COun-
Gil Has Yet Been Called.
MAYOR POTTER HAS NOT ACTED
Iut a Special Meeting for tho Election of
an Inspector of Plumbing In the Near
Future Not Entirely UnIikely-slight
Damage to the Case building,

report was in circulation this morn
called special meeting Of both
branches of the city council. In-
quiry at his Office in the city hall
did not confirm the rumor. The
mayors secretary said that SO far as he
knew no S! ecial meeting had been caiied,
ard in view OF the fact that the mayor
had made preparations to 60 out of town
tomorrow, he did not think a call would
be ISSUED for some days. at least.
1t appears, however, that strong pres
sure Is being brought to bear to secure
special session Of the city council for
the purpose ,of electing an Inspector
of plumbing. The ordinance has been
pas ed and the only thing that now re-
mains TO make it effective is TO elect
an inspector. The officials Of the health
department say that the sooner com
petent man is cno zen the better it will be
Tor the city, as at the present time great
deal OF plumbing is being done and much
of it ought to lie condemned.
Some OF the city councilmen, however,
do not think there Is any need for haste
in the election OF an inspector. One OF
them said this morning that so far as he
was concerned. and he believed MAORI
ty of the members would agree with
him, he did not believe any extra ses-
sion should be called.
at will do no good" he continued,
"and may do much harm. Should Ve go
into joint convention now we may make
a mistake 10 our choice and elect a man
who will not ill the bill. We ought
to wait until we can find good men and
from among them select the best. A
little delay now will be more To the in
terest of the city than unnecessary
haste"
II the opinion of other persons is to be
credit ed, however. a special meeting will
be held, although not during the present
week.

No Trouble Yet.

The excavation for the Dorrance street
sewer has reached nearly half way TO Ex-
change place, but AS yet the Howard
building has not tumbled down nor
is there any likelihood that
it will be affected injuriously
in the slightest degree. At the public
works department this morning it was
learned that there was no fear that any
damage would be done to the building
Mr.. Thurber, who is in charge of the
work under the contractor, said there
was not, in his opinion. any danger. He
had heard the report that
the Howard building was not on piles.
but an old citizen with
whom he had recently talked
and who remembered the time of
It's erection distinctly claimed there were
piles under the foundation. Whether
there were or were not there was not the
slightest cause for alarm. The sewer had
be built along three.quarters OF the
length of the street thus far without
doing anv material damage and iJ would
lie carried to the end under similar con-
ditions.
"It is said that the Case building has
been injured"
"That was simply from the vibration
caused by the driving OF the sheet piling
and in no way affects the stability Of tn.
building"
