Wilmington, n. c., Dec 9-In the
North Carolina conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church South to-day DR..
+. J.. Reid submitted a report on the
Payne Institute at Augusta, Ga, for the
education of colored teachers and preach
ers. The report recommends an assess
ment of $500 for the institute.
One of the most interesting subjects be-
fore the conference was the debt of the
Fifth street church Of this city. When
Rev. DR.. Nash the present pastor, took
charge two years ago the debt was over
S32, 600. OF this $4,000 has been funded
in ten year-bonds and the balance has
been paid, with the exception Of 81 900,
which is expected to be arranged this
week. This result is largely due to the
personal efforts of DR. Nash

WARHINGroN, Feb. Especial. =
Consideration reigns in the treasury
where large force of ad-
ditional clerks have been called into
requisition to count and prepare for
cremating millions of dollars worth of
old bank notes, greenbacks and shin
plasters, some of which have evil
IDENTIFY been boarded ever since
the close of the war of the re-
bellion. One cause of this raid for
new bills is the introduction of an act
in congress by Representative Outh-
waite of Ohio, accompanied by reports
calling for the frequent exchange of
soiled paper money for new notes. An
investigation made at his suggestion has
shown that old greenbacks and bank
notes contain the germs of disease to an
unusual degree, and that there is reason
for apprehension of them as producer
of disease.
The subject was first brought to Mr..
Outhwaite's attention by DIR. G. F..
ward the Bankers association of Ohio
adopted report in favor of legislation
to secure frequent exchange of notes.
DIR. ]. G. Graham, bacteriologist of Star
ling medical college, was asked to make
an investigation, and his report dis
closes the fact that old paper money is
as full OF bacteria as eggs are said to be
full of meat. DIR. Graham writes that
he made an examination of eight bills.
A 81 bill of the series of 1888 showed
three kinds of bacteria; one of the series
of 1876 two kind; two 50 bills of sthe
same series, one each, another dollar
bill, series 1856 two kinds. The bills
were all much worn and very dirty.
English medical authority says: "Two
notes were found containing $4,000
germs of various kinds. Cultures were
made in broth and then were injected
into rats and guinea pigs, most of which
died within twenty-four hours" Mr.
Outhwaite in speaking of his intentions
in the matter says: AS the presence o.
cholera is to be feared here next sum.
mer we should take every precautior
against the spread of disease. I have
accordingly introduced q bill and hops
it will become a law Immediately
l will urge the banking committee ts
report it, and if it does not do SO viii
ask the appropriation committee to pro
vide money for the purpose.

WHAT oNcH WAS A GREAT BURDan
Is Now Decidedly Refreshing Anaase-
mont in tho Daily Financial
Routine.

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-The Union Pacific
is accused of cutting passenger rates be-
tween Ogden and the Missouri river to
an extent which will almost certainly
result in an openreduction of 30 per cent.
The regular rate on such tickets is $40.
The Union Pacific is accused of placing
large blocks of tickets in the brokers'
hands at prices which enable them to
sell at SIS to $2l. One scalper informed
the competing lines that a number of
tickets were obtained at the prices
names.
An open reduction in rates to at least
$50 is anticipated before the end of the
week. In the present condition of the
transcontinental lines such a reduction
might well be the precursor of rate
war which would take rank as one of the
hottest in the history of railroading-
An Omaha special says: Recent pro-
nounced changes made by the Union
Pacific railway company in their pass
enger ticket sales and in reduction of
their operating expenses has appeared
TO some persons ION the inside" to mean
nothing more than mere temporary
movement. It is believed by many
men of influence and railway acquain-
tance in this city that the directors and
officers of the company have about got
ready to throw the road into the hands
of the government and wish to get as
much revenue out of it as possible be-
fore that time comes. This conclusion
is supported by the facts. It will be
rendered that when the Union Pacific
railway was built United States bonds
to the amount of $50, 900. 900 were issued
during the period of its construction,
from 1864 to 1868. These bonds were
intended to aid the road to obtain capi-
tai enough to undertake what seemed to
be great burden. They were to run
80 years at 6 per cent rate. In July,
1894, the first of them will fall due.
The company is utterly unable to meet
| its obligations in this manner and has
again and again asked congress to ex-
tend the time of these bonds.
| A recently issued report of the govern
ment commissioner, Horace A. Taylor,
recommended the extension to 100 years
and reduction of the rate of interest
to two per cent. The death of Mr..
|
verdict against corporations as given in
the recent election have led the direct
ors to make ready for the inevitable by
securing as much profit as possible from
the remaining months of the contract.
The feeling against the Union Pacific in
Nebraska is most bitter, even fanatical,
and the same may be said of other west
ern states. They claim that something
about the great road must be wrong
when it has cleared $40, ,000, 900 per year
for the past decade and has not paid of
a penny of its great government debt.
The representatives of these people will
not dare to vote for any such extension
in congress as is asked for, and it is
way into the hands of receiver and
close up it's affairs as private corpora
ton, or even to dissolve all government
connection with it and treat it as any
other creditor of the government.

Prospective War Between the Coast
and the East.
TACOMA, Feb. 1.-[Special. Present
indications point to something of
shingle war during the coming season
unless the Washington and Oregon
ShiDgle Manufacturers association come
to some kind of an agreement with east
ern jobbers. The association intends to
ignore the iobbers and deal direct with
retail trade, and in SO doing expect to
maintain prices. in which they claim
wholesalers invariably create demorali-
zation.
On the other hand, representatives of
Chicago, Omaha and other shingle and
lumber firms announce that if they can
not contract direct with the mills here
for their supply of shingles they will
put mp their own mills and bust the
shingle trust. Local jobbers, who con-
troll the shingle trust, claim that they
cannot be driven out of the market, be-
cause they control the shingle output,
and 1t is probable that representatives
will be put in various cities of the east
to open up yards to fight the jobbers in
their own territory. John @. Hill, of
Hill & Co., and representing also Wey-
house & Co., of st. Paul, has been here
demonstrating with members of the as
sociation, telling them that the railroad,
which assists the easterners in getting
shingles, will have troable with manu-

school children and women There is
a steady market for such stamps at
prices ranging from $3.50 to $5 for each
$4,000. Certain firms in this and other
cities make use of old postage stamps
for decorative purposes, and they have
quietly advertised their desire for stamps
among the school children. Although
it would seem that the collection of 50,-
600 stamps was an interminable job. it
is a fact that one. young woman, who is
employed in a wholesale dry goods
house, has made $45 since Thanksgiving
by selling cancelled stamps at s5 for 50,-

firms aiding her in making collections.

Eighty Days ON the ocear for rwent,

New YORK. Jan. 31.-The policy of
the Panima Railroad Company in put
ting on line of steamships in oppo-
sition to the Pacific Mail has impelled
the latter to reduce the passenger rate
to Colon from 800 to $50, and the freight
rate from 50 to 50 per ton. The signi-
fcance of this action will be grasped
when it is considered that it is eight
days journey to the isthmus. This
commercial war gains additional signifi-

steamers to carry freight from New. York

Iron FROM tn. heavens.

A special from San Antonio, Tex,
says: Albert Haberle, of that city, has
discovered body of meteoric iron near
there, and much interest has been ex-
cited in scientific circles over the find.
1t 10 estimated that the weight of the
extinct meteor is 10000 pounds. Pro-
fessor Gustav Jenny, a geologist and
chemist, has just completed an assay OF
the iron, resulting as follows in hun
dreds: 97.5 per cent pure iron, 2 per
cent nickel, and traces of cobaltum.
Professor Jerny has in his mineral COL
lection several pieces of meteoric iron
and meteorites from Europe and also
from Texas. One of them weighs about
10 pounds, and was found in Magura,
Hungary. and contains that rarest of
mineral, the sehisibersite.

winter drifts piled up all about the
doors and windows, the heart-br
husband could do nothing but sit be-
side the cold dead form, with his liv-
ing child in his arms, while outside the
house the wild beasts howled hoarselv.
Days passed, and grew into weeks.
The child lived and grew strong, but
the father faded and dropped. The
scanty store of provisions was nearly
exhausted; only the milk-he boarded
it as q niscr boards his gold, to pre-
serve the frail life which was his onlv
hone on earth
With a trembling hand Joe Chester
wrote u full account of the tragic
events, and left the paper where it
would be easily discovered; for we'll

short The pangs of hunger were
already racking his frame; but the

Three weeks after Mary Chester's
death, Joe lifted the decaying body in
his arms one day, and bore it to the
door of the house. 1t must be given

scooped deep, dark pit in the snow
drifts at the door-close to the door.
for he could go no farther; tenderly
and revcrently he laid the body down
and covered it with snowy blanket,
there to lie until spring and human
relief should come.
Then he went back to his lonely
hearth and desolate shelter. How
horrible it was to lie awake III the
long, long, seemingly endless nights.
and fancy that he could hear the
sound of her footsteps. the beating of
her cold hands against the barred door,
the sad, swe voice calling softly:

And often he would start from
his bed in the dreary night watches
and creep to the door, unbar it, and
peer out into the snow-clad night.

would go back to bed and the warm
