Congrega tional Club.

The Congregational Monday Club had
arranged to hear addresses from Dr. Will
liams and DR.. C. o. Brown on the National
Triennial Council of Congregationalists,
recently held in Syracuse, N. Y, both gen.
tlemen having been delegates to the con-
vention. The pastor OF the First Church
did not materialize, however, but DIR. Will
liams gave an interesting account of the
proceedings and by the unanimous re-
quest of those present he extended his
remarks and answered a number of uues-
tons relative to the subjects of interest
discussed. The council was, he said, one
of brotherly love. Peace, harmony and
cooperation characterized its sessions
from beginning to end"
At the conclusion of his remarks DIR.
Williams introduced series of resolutions
relative to urging on the United States
Government to unite with other Chris
tian powers in suppressing the outrages
committed by Turks on Armenians. After
some discussion they were referred to a
committee, with instructions to report next
Monday. The committee selected consists
of DR.. Williams, Or. Pond, DR.. Frere and
DIR. Mooar.
The Baptist preachers yesterday devoted
their meeting to a review of home mis-
sionS.

Resolutions.
Congregationalists Intend to Take
Action on the Armenian
Question.

"Things That the English Bible Is SUI
fering at the Hands of Its Friends" was
the subject of paper read before the
Methodist preachers yesterday morning
by Rev. NJ. F. Coburn.
In the category of wrongs done the Bible
by its friends, the speaker enumerated
that they do not show sufficient discrim-
ination in the use of the different books
they also use portions of Scripture without
reference to the context, and the circum-
stances under which the words were
spoken or the persons to whom they were
addressed. Another charge brought was:
"A preacher will use fragments of the
Bibles contents as the foundation of his
discourse because it looks like the thing he
wishes to say"
The paper was discussed, after which DR..
Ollie addressed few words to the preach
ers, expressing horror at the conduct of the
man Lane and his companions in vice.
I'VE want" he said, IAN organized move
ment 10 stamp out these things"
Resolutions were introduced by DR..
Ollie which pledged the preachers present
to use their individual efforts to ferret out
such crimes as those of North Beach and
bring the criminals to justice. The reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted.

Presbyterian Preachers,

At the Presbyterian Ministerial Union
Professor Kerr read paper on THE Study
of the New Testament"
The professor dealt in detail with the
evidences, both internal aud external, by
which the authorship of books of the New
Testament can be determined, declaring
that the investigation of Christian evil
dences assists believers in combating the
attacks that rationalists make on the Bible
The discussion on Professor Kerr's paper
was opened by Professor Lloyd of the
Congregational seminary. He advised the
pastors to study and to give the results of
their Investigations TO the people. He ex-
pressed his belief that the great conflict
between rationalism and religion would
come within the next twenty-five years.
Elder Geddes asked Professor Lloyd
whether he doubted as to whose the VIC
tory would be. The professor replied in
the affirmative. eff Cromwell had slept
the enemy would have conquered him. no
matter how just his cause. believe in

Narrowly Escape.

At 80 yesterday morning Eureka Val

night was perfectly calm, otherwise the
entire block bounded by Market, Sanchez
and Sixteenth streets would probably have
been destroyed. AS it was, the fire spread
with lightning rapidity through the in
fammable frame structures, making it
barely possible for the occupants to escape
with their lives.
Officer Paul Smith saw the blaze several
blocks away and turned in the first alarm,

A SLAVE TO DRINK.
-AIva Hamilton, in Despair, Swallows a
Dose of Deadly Poison.

Dose of Deadly Poison.
Alva Hamilton, young married man
employed at the Metropolitan Dairy, 429
Union street, committed suicide last night
by swallowing dose of cynide of potas-
SUM.
He was employed in the dairy some
weeks ago, but was discharged owing to
his drinking habits. l. Lerner, the pro-
prietor, was induced to take him back
about two weeks ago. Yesterday afternoon
Lerner found that he had be en- drinking
again. A lady came in, and while Lerner
was talking to her Hamilton took vial
out of his pocket and swallowed the con-
tents, which proved to be cynide OF potas-
SUM. He was taken to the Receiving
Hospital, but had died before reaching
there.
He was about q years of age, and came
here from Los Angeles. His wife and baby
live there with his mother. He left there
thinking that the change might save him
from continuing slave to drink.

COILS P.!S ARITHMETIC.
Amended Complaint Filed by the Southern
Pacific Company.


Pacific Company.
The Southern Pacific by its president,
G. P. Huntington, and its attorneys has
filed an amended complaint in the United
States Circuit Court to strengthen its
pleadings in its injunction suit against the
Railroad Commission. Besides Mr.. Hunt
ington's signature it bears the names of
w. F. Herrin as solicitor and ]. c. Martin,
J. E. Foulds and E. S. Pillsbury as counsel.
The purpose of the amended complaint
is TO show that the reduction of rates pro-
posed by the commission would cause the
railroad company to suffer SO great det-
cheney as s., 1863, 800 IA for the present year.
Here are the figures it gives in explanation:
Southern Pacific Railroad, 1617.11 miles
South Pacific Coast Railway, 101; Northern
California Railway. $500; Northern Railway,
417.66; California Pacific Railroad. 1874,
and Central Pacific Railroad, 1900; total,
