are already beginning to arrive for the
national conference of reform elements,
which is to be held in this city for sew
eral days next week to consider the de-
STABILITY of organizing a new party, to
embrace the prohibition, silver, social
list and municipal reform elements, and
with the view of placing a presidential
ticket in the field next July in the event
of the candidates on the prohibition and
populist tickets proving unsound on vi
tai questions of reform. Letters receiv-

Echo Filled the Hearts of 5000
Loyal Soldiers.
FOR A NEW SALVATION ARMY
The appearance of Darlington and
Mrs. Booth Was the Signal for
49, Grand Outburst.

New York, March S.-The inaugural
step made by Ballington Booth in ri
val organization on lines similar to the
one from whose command he was re-
leased met success tonight. Cooper
Union was the scene where the first gun
was fired, the echo of which thrilled
the hearts of 5000 loyal soldiers. Every
seat in the big auditorium was occupied.
The aisles were crowded and the streets
outside were thronged.
Shortly after o'clock Captain Schnei-
der of the Bowery corps sprang on
chair on the platform and waved an
American flag with a painting of George
Washington The audience cheered
Justify. Major Peter Glen appeared on
the platform waving an American flag
and placed life-size crayon painting
of George Washington on an easel in
front of the speakers table. This was
the signal for renewed outburst Of ap-
plause.
1t was only when Ballington Booth
and his wife arrived that the audience
lost control of itself. Their presence on
the platform was the signal for an out
burst of enthusiasm such as never be-
| fore has been witnessed in Cooper I'm
ion. There was some music and singing
and the customary religious invoca-
| tions, after which Ballington Booth rose
| and said:
| MRS. Booth and myself have not
come here tonight to allude to the re-
| cent sad trouble. After mature DELHI
| Grafton We have decided to inaugurate
a new movement. Recognizing as we
| do the largest field in the world and
still further recognizing that there was
| room in America for one, two, yea. 100
Salvation Armies, we have resolved, to
the best of our ability to win over the
middle class of the artisans of this coun-
| try We wish no strife with the Saliva
| ton Army.
81 want to assure Mrs. Booth and
those officers who have stood by me
that I see in the distance a movement
which tonight has received it's impetus
in this great gathering. I do not want
anything that exists in the air. but a
genuine conservation of our soldiers tc
the faith of Christ. There is at least 4t
per cent of the wage earning populace
of the community who are not identified
with any church or place of religious
worship. 1t is there we want to reach
and extend to them the love that in
spired the Nazarene on the streets Of
Jerusalem nearly 1900 years ago.
Mrs. Booth and myself have within
the last few days been reading the his
tory of that great American soldier
George Washington, whose portal
stands on this platform. We though
of him and his goodness of heart am
love of Christ as he turned away for ;
moment from the frightful scenes o
Valley Forge and repaired to the woods
where he knelt in prayer to the God o
his country. Whatever be the mission
we undertake it will bear the RICH
stamp and will be directed in the RICH
| direction"

inmates were crushed to death and the
remaining members of the family mar
rowly escaped with their lives. The dead

The direct cause Of the disaster was
a landslide. Hundreds of tons of earth

The ruin wrought presented an awful

by the fact that somewhere in the mud,
hidden by the ruins, were the bodies of
two persons whose lives had been
crushed out.
There were willing hearts and eager
hands engaged in the work of recover

hours of hard, laborious work that both
