GEN. HARRISON TO MARRY.
Definite Announcement That He Will Soc
 Wed Mrs. Dimmnck.

Wed Mrs. Dimmnck. New York, Jan. 9.--The amour. enent from Indianapolis to-day that ex-Pr;s- ! ident Harrison will shortly be married to Mrs. Mary Scott Dimmock simply confirmed rumors current for some time past. The marriage is to take place in this city. Ex-Pfesident Harrison will leave Indianapolis for a ten days visit to this city some time this week. The wedding, it is said, will take place be- | fore his return to Indianapolis. 1 Russell B. Harrison, who, with his wife, is staying at an uptown hotel, af- feets absolute ignorance of his father S intentions.
 The rumors of an engagement be- tween General Harrison and Mrs. Dim- mock sprang into existence nearly a l year go. General Harrison promptly denied the reports.
 The greater portion of last summer was spent by the ex-president at Val Hey Forge in the Adirondacks Mrs. Nc Kee and the Mckee children and Mrs. Dimmock were tn the party. The devo- 1 tion of General Harrison to Mrs Dim mock was noticed and commented up- on.
 1 The rumors of an enga cement were once more stated and again denied by 1 General Harrison. He also expressed a hope that the reports would not be re- l peated. The rufnor, despite General Harrison's denials steadily gained ground, and in Indianapolis, the ex- presidents home, it was always accept ed as true. Of late both General Har- rison and Mrs. Dimmook have refused to affirm or deny the existence of an en- gagement This has been accepted by many persons as a tacit admission of l the truth of the rumors that have been l so consistently foated. l When speaking of Mrs. ,Dimmock Gen. eral Harrison is reported on one occa- sion to have said: "She is a woman of rare good sense She doss not talk when 1 I want to think.
 Mrs. Dimmock, since her return from ! the Adirondacks last summer, has been l living quietly in her home, 40 East Thir- ty-eighth street. She was seen ill Gen. eral Harrisons company many times when the latter was visiting this city. It is known that they have correspond ed regularly, but they have never posed publicly as anything more than warm friends
 Mrs Dimmock declined to talk to-day ! about the maria ge. When asked tC either confirm or deny the report, she said: 'I have nothing whatever to say about the natter
 Russell B. Harrison was equally un- communicative.
 T will not say a word about Vt at, :" he said.
 When questioned as to the truth o1 I the reports that his fathers engage ment to Mrs. Dimmock had caused some disagreements in the family, he said: ''I positively will not say word on this subject or on anything connect. ed with it."

JOINT TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION.
Macfarlane Tiles Bili of Complain
 Against IL as an Illegal Combine.

Against It as an Illegal Combine.
 New York, Jan. 9,--United States District Attorney Macfarlane has filed a. bill of complaint in the United States circuit court in the name of the United States against the thirty-two railroad companies constituting the Joint Traffic association, and he has given notice that he will move on January IT for an injunction restraining them from operating under their agreement.
 The bill of complaint presents a copy of the agreement between the roads, and charges that the agreement is in- ton in traffic within it's scope, and that the agreement covers all through traffic of the principal terminal points of the great trunk lines.
 It is further held that the agreement is unlawful in that it establishes not only traffic pool but also a pool of earnings in violation of section Of the interstate commerce act, and that it is a contract or combination in restrain of interstate trade and commerce, and unlawful under the antitrust act of July ?, 1890, known as the Sherman antitrust act.
 The relief asked in the bill of com plaint is to have the contract between the railroads declared null and void and the parties to the contract perpetually enJoined from operating under it.

AccrDESr TO THE RIcn4nD PECK.

struck Submerged Wreck Wednesday
 Mornins-Reaehed New York Several
 Hours Late.
 The new twin screw steamboat Rich ard Peck of this city struck a, sunken wreck while making her regular trip to New York yesterday morning at about o'clock.
 The Connecticut river being frozen, brings all the Hartford freight to this city. and owing to this heavy freight the boat did not leave Belle dock on Wednesday night itlll after 1 o'clock.
 The steamboat left Belle dock. this city, with 150 passengers and "a gen. eral cargo. When, about four miles off shore and with Penfield to leeward. she struck an obstruction, tearing a greab hole in her steel hull amidship and just forward of her boilers. Captain Hardy .iacted promptly. The pumps were put to work, the boats were prepared for launching, and the vessels head was turned toward, Norwalk Island.
 The vessel ran upon the soft beach of NorWalk Island, when her engines were stopped and she blew signals of distress.
 An examina tion of the boat was made by the officers, who concluded that they would be able to run through to New York. After a delay of a few hours she proceeded as usual, reaching Peck Slip at S:30 Thursday morning, ir- stead of o'clock. her usual hour.
 Two hours later she was placed on the New York floating dock. At 2:30 all the waiter had been pumped out and another examination was made of her bottom. It was found that several of her steel plates on the bottom and amid ships just forward of the boiFsrs was badly bent in and that two Of the f1ukes of the propeller were missing. No further damake was done It was decided that four or five of the dam aged plates would have ito come off and that the Peck would not be able to resume her trips for a week or perhaps ten days.
 But few of the 150 passengers on board knew that anything unusual had happened until the boat was beached. The prompt action of Captain Hardy after the accident prevented any ex- citemenu among the crew CT the pas se!ngers.
 The steamboat officials agree with Captain Hardy in the belief that the Peck struck a submerged wreck of some kind and it is known that several coal barges have gone down in the Vii entity of the accident and these have been reported but never removed Ac- cording to Captain Russell, who was at the wheel when the boat struck, she was running at her usual rate of speed and the night was not ta bad one.
 The steamer Continental took the place of the Richard Peck last night, leaving Belle dock at the regular hour, 12:30. It is probable that the Conti- mental will continue to take the place of the Peck until that boat is repaired.

ADDRESs BY DR. ABBOTT
At Marquand Chapel-Power in Pulpit Dis cussed--Aim of Pulpit Should be to Im- part Spiritual Life.


 cussed--Aim of Pulpit Should be to 1m- part Spiritual Life.
 Dr Lyman Abbott of Brooklyn dehv- cred an address in Marquand chapel last evening under the auspices of the Bacon Debating club This was the first pub lie meeting of that organization.
 The address was an exceedingly in- teresting one and especially valuable to the students in the Divinity school.
 The little chapel was hardly large enough to hold all who desired to hear the distinguished clergyman After the address am opportunity was given those present to meet pr. Ab- bolt, who held an informal reception in the Lowell Mason social room.
 pr. Abbott spoke on the subject of Secret of Pulpit Power" His address was in part as follows: The evidence of this power is found in the large num- bers who attend church regularly from year to year. This I explain by the universal heart lunges for God amongst all people.
 Religion has been defined as the Llle ol Nou III 'uite souis ol HleIl. rms is the power that Christ possessed and this is the power that ministers should seek to have.
 The church has been the strongest when it has had this power and weak est when it lacked it, and what is true of the church is true of the ministry.
 Every minister should be prophet not as a foreteller. but as a forth teller not to tell what tomorrow will be, but what men should be.
 The power of the pulpit consists in its personality fn imparting spiritual life and its aim should be helpfulness and not oratory
 Every sermon should have an object and theology should be but an inStru- ment in the attainment of that object.
