of Mr.. Smead's sojourn, were we'll at

most enthusiastic meetings of all we're
those of Sunday. The church was
filled in the morning. A children SER
vice in the afternoon was largely at

again at the evening service for adults.
Mr.. Smead was in good physical form
all day, and in speaking was at his
best. A large number of testimonies
were given in the evening of the bless

ings in individual cases and not a few
signed cards in which was expressed
desire to live Christian life. The
union meetings are being carried on

other children's service will be held

| fled with the terms of the order as
made by Judge Merritt and if 1t is ac-
Cepted by the American Loan and Trust
company it must be done at great cost
to that corporation. The American
Loan and Trust company through its
attorneys, has fought the co-receiver-
ship idea from the beginning, and this,
coupled with the interest feature of the
order. which is along the lines outlined
by the attorneys for the first mortgage
interests, receivers Of the Union Pacific
and Oregon Short Line will probably
prove too much Of load for the receiv-
ers to carry.
Should Mr.. Egan accept 1t will not
affect the forces a tUnion Pacific head
quarters to the extent Of more than thir
ty men, and as for our mechanical fore
ces. they are reduced TO a minimum.
1t has been my idea, however, all the
way, that IL two receivers were accred-
tied to the property and the contentious
of the attorneys for the first mortgage
and other interests followed, that the
successor receiver could not consistent
ly take the property.

Bancroft would refuse to take the road

There was considerable satisfaction
expressed about headquarters when the
terms of the order became known. for

H WILL BE A GREAT SCHEME.
Device by which Every One can See tn.
Ball Game.

Chicago, June 10.-A device of inter
est TO baseball enthusiasts whoich is
soon to be tried in this city is the Cut
Ter baseball indicator. 1t consists of a
BOARD about forty-two inches high by
about thirty inches wide which shows
10y electricity the moves made in 2
game of base ball. On the face of the
board is mapped out a diamond with
the men in position. Small holes are
left at each Of the bases and the home
plate for indicating numbers or pic
lures. Besides these blank holes or in
dfcators are left labeled runs"
strikes, innings" "hit," Fly" "outs''
balls" home run" lat bat" called, %
and errors
The electrical operation Of the board
is similar to that of the messenger calls
and printing telegraphs. A series of
makes and breaks of the current is sent
over the single line wire by the trans
mitter and Is caught by an instrument
at the board which sets its Indicator
into the required position. One trans
uniting instrument will do for any
number of boards SO that one operator
in a central office can reproduce a ball
game on these boards all over the city.
This indicating device is designed to
take the place of basebll returns now
received by the so-called ticker" A
humber Of boards VIII be set up at vari-
euo places III TIE city anu connected by
wire with the central office AS fast
as the Geographic returns from the ball
game come to the operator in the CEN
trail office he works his transmitting
instruments and the game is reproduced
wherever board is located. The num-
Der of the man at the bat and the run
ners on the bases are shown, nd exact
ly what the batter does can be seen
from the indicators. The total runs of
each side and the number of outs in
the inning are also shown.
These baseball indicators are manu-
factured by one of the allied Western
Union telegraph concerns. and are to be
operated over the Western Union wires
Companies are now installing the
boards in various cities which have
league baseball teams, and il is expect
ed number of them will soon be in use
IN Chicago. Another indicator for use
for race returns Is now being built
which will show the position of the
horses at eight points of the course.

IS IT OSCAR WILDEISM.
New jersey Minister is Charged with I'm
morality and Boy Witnesses.


Bordentown, n. j., June 10.-Charges
seriously affecting the moral character
of Rev. Edward S. Fitch, pastor of the
Roardstown Baptist church, were In
vestigated by council yesterday. Sew
eral lads and young men were called
to testify, and the investigation was
continued to June q. The council was
composed Of representative ministers
and laymen in the West Jersey asso-
citation, among them being Rev. C. c..
Tilley of this city, Rev. Mr.. Sembower
of Salem, Benjamin Hancock and
Charles E. Sheppard of this city, F. w.
Aver of Camden, and other laymen.
The church and Pastor Fitch refused
to recognize the council or TO take any
part in the investigation, but a num-
Der Of the members assisted as individ-
uals.
Rumors affecting Pastor Fitch's
moral conduct had been af1oat for
some time, and previous efforts had
been made to bring an investigation,
but as the congregation stood by him
and would not countenance a trial,
nothing came of it until a few determ-
ined members applied for a church
council. Mr.. Fitch's supporters claim
ed-and still claim-that the charges
are malicious, without foundation and
the outcome of spite on the part of
evildisposed persons who belong to no
church, and they say they are ready to
support him to the last Those who
called the council, however, secured
the affidavits of a number of young
men before Justice of the Peace Thorn
as Davis of Roardstown. When the
council began seven of these young
men appeared in response to sum
monses and gave their evidence AS
the hearing was conducted in secrecy,
however, the result is not known.

The Quick Yeast Company are the

Manager Dickinson on the Decision.
Merritt today handed down decision
in the Oregon Short Line and Utah
Northern railway case, appointing
John NJ. Egan of st. Paul and w. H.
Bancroft Of Salt Lake receivers of the
entire property within the jurisdiction
of the court. This sewers the Oregon
Short Line from the Union Pacific sys-
tenn.
The decision has been the all-absorb-
ing topic in railroad and commercial
circles today. Before the order of the
court is operative. it makes it incum-
bent upon fhe American Loan and
Trust company to pay 1874. 600 interest
on the mortgages. July 1. and to pay
all interest falling due there after.
within thirty days after maturity. This
includes the interest due on the Utah
Southern mortgages. If default should
be made on the interest, the road is
then to be surrendered to the present
receivers. 1t was also stipuIa tied that the
entire road should be operated in one
interest. No reference was made to is
suing OF receivers certificates.
The Loan and Trust company made
strong fight for a single receiver,
tiidt the appointment OF an
associate receiver would defeat the OBJ
jects of the suit.
In some quarters it is claimed that
the Loan and Trust company will not
accept the condition imposed by the
court. This opinion is in part shared
by Mr.. Egan.
The friends Of Mr.. Bancroft pointed
to his clean and successful manage
ment of the Rio Grande Western road
during his six years management as
receiver and general superintendent;
also the vast improvements made by
MN on the Oregon Short Line and
think that his association with such an
able railroad manager as Mr. Egan
could not fail to bring satisfactory re-
suits to every interest involved
Mr.. Egan leaves for the east tonight
Tor few days recreation.
UNION PACIFIC OPINION
Omaha, June lot was a foregone
conclusion that the Short Line and
Utah Northern would be placed under
the control of separate receiver, the
only hope of the interests antagonistic
to the American Loan and Trust COM
pany being to secure a co-receiver who
would be fair to the Union Pacific,
which has now been accomplished by
the appointment of W. II. Bancroft,
superintendent of the Mountain divis-
ion of the Union Pacific. General Mana
ger Dickinson was elated over tn cap
pointment of Mr.. Bancroft, whom he
regards as the one man to direct the in
terests of'the separated property.
But 1 don't believe Mr.. Egan will
