On last Monday evening a very beam
'''ui service was held in our Church, and
as everyone Who has heard Bishop AbieI
u Leonard, enjoys hearing him. and in
anticipation OF again hearing an eloouent
auuress from the Rev. gentlemen, to-
eether with the confirming OF two of our
young ladies', Miss Agnes Stirling and
MISS Blrtha Wickland, a large and APP
preclatlve audience assembled. The
Church was beautifully decorated the
arches, the chancel and all the ratings
were covered with trailing vines and
lovely flowers, standing in a bank OF
institutions. On the altar was "A lovely
cross OF flowers, three feet high. The
chandeliers and the organ were Also
decorated. The flowers were kindly do
donated by Mrs. I. +. Donelin, Mrs. b.
f. Dolan, Mrs. j. A. Fellnagle, Mrs. w.
IL. A. Pike and Miss Jennie Lundy. The

OF purity and l%oveliness, they wore
dresses of ivory white null trimmed
with ivory white lace and carried their
prayer-books in their bands.
The confirmation being over, the Bish-

SHOT BY A TRAMP.

Monday as No s freight was pulling in
to Reno, Brakeman NJ. q. Collins MOTTO
ed several tramps in IA car loaded with
peanuts where they were evidently en-
Joying a feast. After The train came 10
a stop he ordered the tramps out OF the
car. They all left hut one, when a
young man, giving the name of Edward
West, pulled a pistol and shot Collins,
the ball entering the left cheek just be-
meath the eye and glancing around the
cheek bone, lodging Just in front of the
ear, from which point DR.. Phillips re-
moved the leaden missile shortly after
the shooting.
Collins is not dangerously hurt, in fact
he is not battered up as badly as W est.
Collins, it is claimed, thumped West se-
verely after being shot, with a club, but
West claims the humping was done be-
fore he shot. At all events he has a bad
cnt or two under and over the eye, but
whether it was done before or after the
shooting cannot be decided until after
the examination as West tells one story
and Collins another.-Gazette,
West is under arrest. The brake
mans lot is not a happy one. If he lets
the tramps ride he is discharged if he
makes them get off he IL shot. The
word of the tramp is taken TO be as good
as the word of the brakeman when COM
ing down to sober facts the tramp is a
thief for stealing a ride and stealing
freight and in this case the tramp drew
and exhibited his gun when he was ask
ed to get out of the car. The tramps
stone the brake 81 en-, steal freight, break
seals, turn switches, draw deadly weap-
ons and have little regard for the law
because they generally succeed in lying
out of a scrape.

Bills Are Scarce and Tourists

The steamship Teutonic, which sailed
for Europe to-day. took out 100000 in
gold. Lazard Freres were the shippers.
and of the amount named $4,000 was
withdrawn from the Sub-Treasury.
1t is possible that more gold will be
forwarded by to-morrow's and Satur-
days steamers, because of the scar
city of bills and the demands made upon
the market by tourists.
The latter is nothing unusual at this
season OF the year. but 1t Is felt acutely
in the exchange market because reports
Of produce have fallen of materially.
The demands upon the Treasury to sat
isfy the eniux OF the yellow metal has
oncemore caused its gold reserve to fall
below the 800, 900, 900 mark. No uneasi-
ness is felt on this score, however, as
