day morning in the rooms Of the Women's
Occidental Missionary Board, at their
home on Sacramento street, was eXcep-
tionally large. MANY of those present, in
Guiding large number of ladies, had come
expecting TO hear Rev. DR.. Voorsanger,
the Hebrew rabbi, who, it had been an
nnunced, was To address the union on
Tho Christ as Held By the --latest Jewish
Thought"
Rabbi V0orsanger. however, did not APP
pear and it was afterward learned that he
was suffering from cold. He may de-
liver the lecture later on.
After disposing of the usual routine
business some time was spent in listening
10 brief remarks in regard 10 the recent
meeting of the synod at Los Angeles by
several of the ministers who had attended
the meeting. One of the principal matters
of interest reported was the rejection Of
the proposition TO limit the mem bershi2 of
the synod by making it a representative
body composed of given number of dele
gates from each Dresbytery and substi-
tuting for it a resolution requiring each
member to pay his own expenses while at
the place of meeting
A vote of the union was passed express
ing the opinion that the next annual meet
ing of the synod, which is TO take place in
October, should he held in San Francisco.
Rev. j. NJ. Alexander is to read a paper
at the meeting next Monday on Pagan
ism, It's Forms in Heather Countries and
New Phenomena in ChristendOm."

THE GUNS ARRIVE.
General Graham Afraid for the Res
ervation Roads.

Two of the new coast defense dynamite
guns, each 5000 pounds without the
heavy gearing, arrived at the Preside yes
terday. They were delivered by Morton
& Co., and it took twelve horses to haul
each gun.
The progress of the mighty pieces Of ar
tillery was checked by action on the part
OF General Graham. The guns had pro-
ceeded as far as the quarters of Troop b,
when the General arrived and in high
dudgeon demanded by whose authority the
transit of the five roads of the reservation
was being made. He declared that the
weight of the great pieces could not 1ail 10
tear up the roadway which 1t was pro-
posed TO travel. This scruple had the ef-
Iect of delaying matter for four hours.
The engineers in charge thought the
tempest in teapot might have TO be re-
ferred to Washington, where IL would go
through the inevitable limbo of red tape.
entailing weeks of delay. Fortunately an
earlier solution of the difficulty was
reached.
After many tedious hours of waiting
orders al last came from headquarters in
this city, issued By General Ruger, that
the guns should be transported over
whichever road the teamsters desired as
being best for their purpose.
The road taken was the one 10 the
rear of the enlisted mems quarters. past
the guardhouse and so on past the grave
yard. The guns fnslly reached their
destin alton and will be- hoisted into posi-
ton without delay. The transporting did
not make the least impression on the
reservation roads.

Tho Steamer Portia Struck @ Schoon, Which Sunk Almost Instantly.
 Vineyard Haven, Mass, Sept. 1O.-In.
 coming vessels report the sinking of the three-masted schooner Dora M. French
 of Bangor, Me, from Hoboken for Bos- ton with coal by the steamer Portia of Liverpool, N. s., bound to New York at noon about one and one-half miles east, one-half south from Vineyard Sound Lightship, during thick fog and fresh southwest wind.
 Captain Look of schooner F. G.
 French, who was in company with the unfortunate vessel, states that although he could not see the vessels when they collided on account of the fog,- the noise of falling spars and the cries of the crew as the steamer crashed into her were something terrible. Captain Kelley of schooner William
 H. Card states that the French must have sunk instantly, as he passed so
 near as to see her crew struggling in the water and boats from the Portia
 were lowered in an endeavor to rescue them.
 A few minutes later as schooner Anna M. Dickinson passed the scene of the disaster the rescued seamen were being landed on board the Portia. which soon after proceeded for New York. It was impossible to ascertain If all were saved.

OBITUARY.
Death of Nathan Fenn Hall.

The death of Nathan Fenn Hall, one of the oldest and most esteemed resi- dents of this city, occurred at his home, 215 Orange street, at 5:3O o'clock yester- day morning. He had been in failins health for some time, but his death came unexpectedly, as he had been ill only ten days, the immediate cause of his death being bronchitis. He was attended by Dr. Frank A. Whitte- more.
 The deceased was born in Orange. January ?, 1SO9 and so was upwards of eighty-tive years old. When a young man he came to New Haven and for many years was member of the lonu noted and prominent Chapel street firm of Bristol & Hall, retailers and manu- lecturers of boots and shoes. The firm for a long time manufactured shoes largely for the southern trade. As a member of this firm he accumulated a handsome fortune, upon which he had lived for many years in retirement. He was a director of the Merchants' bank from the time of its foundation until his death. He was succeeded by
 w elIuSS D' Y CiA lIc llIHl. III lS34 he married Miss Emily Grace Isbell. who died five months ago. They had three daughters. One is now the wife of Professor John Phelps Taylor of An- dover. another Mrs. Stephen Knevals of New York, and the other Mrs. Nelson Hotchkiss of this city who lived with her parents up to the time of her death shortly before her mothers five months ago. He also leaves a granddaughter Miss Emily Knevals of New York.
 This makes the third death in thiu family within the comparatively short space of time of five months. It en- tirely cuts off the New Haven branch of the family, no one being left to occupy the family homestead on Orange street.
 MT. Hall had been for years a regu- lar attendant at the Church of the Re- deemer, where he was a prominent member. He attended divine service with this congregation when it wor- shipped in the old Chapel street ediflcs. As an honest and upright citizen oh the highest integrity he was esteemed and respected by all who knew him.
 Funeral services will be held at his late residence 215 Orange street, to- morrow afternoon at o'clock.

DEBS IS ENDORSED.
The Knights of Labor Oner Him Moral
 and Financial support.


 Buffalo, Sept. lO,-The general exeou- tive board of the K. of L.. now in res- sion here, to-day passed a resolution endorsing President Debs of the A. R. U., offering him moral and fnanciql support, also a resolution urging that the K. of l.. assemblies to prepare charges against Attorney General ol- ney forthwith. so that they may ee placed before congress at its next scs- sion; and asking the assemblies to sp- proach all congressional nominees to learn how they intend to act on the i'm peachment question. T. B. Mcclure. a member of the board, said:
 "The Knights will attempt to impeach MT. Olney for violation of article four section four, of the constitution, which prescrlbes how and when United States troops shall be sent into a state. Troops can be ordered into state only in case of insurrection or rebellion and there was neither in Chicago when soldiers were ordered there to crush the American Railway union and aid the railroads. The antitrust law un- der which MT. Olney Is empowered to instruct district attorneys to prosecute all trusts has not been enforced and Is another point against him. We expect to get the votes of enough members of the house with the populists, who are our friends to make a strong move against Olney."
