The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1897-06-17

Bangor, Me-, June 1.-THE unceremon-
ious departure Of Rev, w. s. Woodwork
of this city has caused much comment,
and recent developments In the case
throw an interesting light on the case.
Rev. Mr.. Woodwork had been working
in Bangor for q year or more as an evan
gelist and through his personality ard
talents had attracted large congrega-
tions and aroused much religious in
terest. He had made no especial state
ments regarding his domestic relations.
and among those who knew him, he
passed az a single man. Therefore,
when his wife and children arrived from
Syracuse q few days ago, considerable
interest was manifested by his congre-
cation, and particular interest attached
to the fact that the elder left town just
before his family arrived in this city.
Mrs. Woodwork had expected to meet
her husband here, and his sudden dis
appearance greatly disquieted and
grieved her. She waited IN Bangor for
several days while search was prosecuted
for the missing clergyman, and then
left for Syracuse. She was practically
destitute.

DENOMINATIONS MAY UNITE.

MovemoRS Looking to the Union Of Con-
Kregntlonai and Christian Churches.
ST. Louis, April 20.-There is ma
tional movement on foot looking to
the union of the Congregational and
Christian denominations Some months
ago. in addition to steps taken in Ohio
and the east, a union meeting of the
ministers of the two bodies was held in
ST. Louis. A discussion followed which
brought out in the most fraternal
manner the beliefs, likenesses and
differences of the two denomina-
tions. Three committees, composed
in the main of prominent min
listers, were appointed to consid-
er suggestions made for cooperation
in educational, evangelistic and benev-
olent work and formulate plans to be
presented Mt the next meeting. Com
plete union is not looked for at pres
ent, but it is thought that plans may
be made drawing the denominations
more closely together in work and fel-
lowship in the present. and finally re-
suit in q union.

THE WAR N EUROPE.

Greeks and Turks E1Ght EAeh Other saw
agely-An Europe Nay he Involved.
LONDON, April 90.-The situation on
tl e frontier has not, according to ad-
vices, been materially modified. Both
the Turks and the Greeks arc resting
from their tremendous exertions Of
Friday, Saturday aud Sunday. The
troops of Edhem Pasha were half dead
with fatigue and hunger when the
firing slackened Sunday night. Most
of them flung themselves down where
they stood on the bare ground to sleep.
The Turkish commanderin-chief pru-
IDENTIFY decided to allow the army to
rest yesterday. As details come in it
becomes more and more apparent that
the fighting around Milouna pass was
Of .he most stubborn and savage char
acter. The Turks fought like devils
and the Greeks resisted In the spirit Of
their ancestors The most inexplicable
fact In connection with the whole en-
gagemeht is the comparatively small
number of killed.
There is said to be sharp difference
ofopinion between the military powers,
Russia, Austria Hungary and Germany,
and the maritime powers, Great
Britain, France and Italy, as to the
most expeditions and least violent
methods of compelling u cessation OF
hostilities, should this result not be
reached by the exercise OF diplomatic
pressure at Athens and Constantinople.
The likelihood is that the force to be
employed by Europe, If resort to
force becomes necessary, would be by
sea, as the contingencies of military
Intervention might be more serious
than the hostilities now in progress.
At the European capitals little trouble
is anticipated at present, but it is con-
ceded on all sides that conditions may
arise at any moment which would in
flame all Europe, and lead to a general
war. The sympathy of the masses OF
England, France and Italy is un-
doubtedly with the Christians OF
Greece and great pressure will be
brought to bear on the governments OF
those countries to assist the Greeks in
the straits in which every one expects
them to be. The feeling Of the masses
Of Germany, Austria and Russia can
not be expressed so freely, but the mon
archs of those three nations seem to be
determined to uphold the sultan, the
Oriental type of despotic absolutism

ST. Louis, April 20.-Rev. DIR. James
Brooks, pastor emeritus of the Presby-

He had been in st. Louis ever since
1858, and for 81 years was pastor OF
that Presbyterian church. For 2S
years he was the editor Of the Truth, a
magazine published in Chicago and
devoted to the maintenance of the In
errancy Of the Bible and the defense Of
the doctrine held by the pre-millennial
school. In his other literary work he

Between the era Of the dutch wag-
ems" and the mammoth locomotives Of
to-day lie the classes of engines famii-
lar to every one, because examples Of
them are still to be found working on
every branch road. But the latest ex-
ample Of engine building, as illus
trated by the ten-wheeled consolidated
passenger engines at present in use on
the D. & o. road, brings up such mag
nificent concentrations Of speed, strength
and endurance as were never before
seen in the history of the world. These
engines have six coupled wheels, six
feet six inches in diameter, cylinders
21x26 inches, and a steam pressure Of
ITO pounds to the square inch. They
haul the Royal Blue line trains, and ON
many occasions have gone mile in 50
seconds, while one of them has been
timed covering a mile in 32 seconds.
When it is borne in mind that 'horse-
power" really means what a very strong
horse can lift in minute, the force of
one of these engines will be realized
by conceiving 1.1o0 horses all able to
make one mighty pull at the same mo-
ment. As to speed, one of these en-
sines will advance at the almost in
conceivaply rapid rate OF 100 feet in q
second. There may be inventions
which may be considered more marvcl-
GUS than the modern high-power loco
motive, but surely none displays in con.

Government Report Contains Goad News
for Advocates OF Temperance.
WAsHINsToN, April 2O.-The inter
national revenue receipts of the United
States government for the last fiscal
year shows an increase of about one
per cent. in the income from the tax
ON spirits, whereas the revenue from
the tax on malt and other fermented
liquors increased no less than six per
cent. The rates of taxation were not
changed, so that the increase in re-
ceipts corresponds with the expansion
of the market for liquors taxed. These
figures seem to prove that the con-
sumption of spirits is not increas-
ing in the United States as fast as tho
