Bridgeport Conn, February MEM
bers of the subcommittee of citizens
visited Officials Of the Fraction Company
this afternoon and were courteously re-
ceived. The committee requested that
a board of Cancellation be appointed to
settle. the difficulties between the compa-
ny and the strikers by arbitration. The
company refused to assent to such a
course, and said it would not recognize
the Surface Railway Association or en-
ploy it's members as union men. 1t
would only employ the men as indiyidu-
ais. Further, tie company was now
running the road, and would continue to
do SO if the strikers offered no violence.
A long struggle is expected. The exist
ing boycott of the road will probably
continue. The road receives most of its
patronage from women, a majority Of

| Decem Der 3lst, 1898, met at the treas

! been in session every secular day with
one exception until date. We have
much regretted the absence of Hon.
Horace G. Little of Lewiston, a member
of the committee who was unable TO at
ance would have been greatly appreci-
ated.
+ The transactions of the treasurer are
multifarious, requiring a very large
number of different accounts, all of
which must necessarily be kept with
method and exactness.
Gen. Beal has afforded US every facility
for proper discharge of our duty, and
after critical examination into the de-
tails of the several accounts, we would
report that we are satisfied that the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the public
money for the year 1893, as stated in his
report. are correct.
The amount of cash on hand at the
commencement of the year was $780,

Rates the Poor Paw,

1t is sad fact that poor people
have to pay a great deal more for
what they get than the rich people
do for the same goods. The poor
always pay two or three times as
much for their coal as the well-to-
do-sometimes six times as much.
Their rent pays the land lord five
or six times as much on his invest
ment as tenements let to the rich.
The interest they pay on loan is
sometimes more than a hundred
fold what wealthier men would get
it for. Mr.. Blankenburg has found
that in Philadelphia and New York
the poor workmen oblige to borrow
on the furniture or other goods to
tide him over misfortune or sick
ness, is sometimes compelled to pay
as high as sixty per cent a month,
or seven hundred per cent a year
giving as much for the use of
twenty five dollars as a rich man
pays for the use of three thousand
dollars:- The Arena.

SpirituaIism in the Bible.

A feature of the November Arena
that will awaken the curiosity of
all those who enjoy getting both
sides of debatable questions is the
treatment of ''The Bible and
Modern Spiritualism" at the hands
of two eminent orthodox Christian
scholOrs, who are both theologues
and medical men. They are Henry
A. HART, NJ. D., and j. M. PEBBLES,
A. M, M. D., and both writing
from the orthodox Christian stand
point, they take dimetically opposite
views. DIR. Hartt holds that the
miracles and revelations and pro-
phesies of the Bible had no relation
to spiritualism in its modern in
depreciation, and DR.. PEBBLES holds
that they most were distinctly to
be included among spiritualistic
phenomena. Doubters can there
fore choose between two orthodox
views.
