The PRINCETON Inn Saloon.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The signature of
the Rev Charles Woodruff Shields. of
Princeton, to an application for a liquor Ii
cense for Princeton Inn threatened to COM
pletely disrupt the Presbyterian Synod of
New Jersey. which has been in session at
Plainfield. The following resolution was
adopted:
THE synod finds occasion to reiterate the
judgment that the renting of property for
saloon purposes and signing of liquor IL
censes is not consistent with Christianity,
and that the attention Of all presbyteries
sessions, pastors and teachers be brought
to bear upon this matter
The New York Synod Of the United Pres
byterian Church, in session at Jersey City
adopted the report of the committee of re-
form. which says:
The conditions of society are now more
threatening than ever and cannot be ig-
nored much longer. With what astonish-
ment and humility was the fact learned
that a drinking bar, legalized through the
signing of petition by professors, has been
established in old Princeton College. 1t is
a matter of some consolation that the
theological department is not involved. But
If students, in course of preparation for
the learned professions, may be encouraged
by such high authority in using intoxicat-
ing beverages, how long may We hope to
keep the ministry and even the pulpit from
the calamity of the cup? We cannot do less
than enter our emphatic protest against the
appearance of this old monster under the
sanction Of professors in American Profess
tant institutions of education.

PULLMAN'S TWO SONS SAID TO HAVE
BEEN DISINHERITED.
The PnIace-Car MaEnate Did Not APP
prove the Conduct of the Wild
Young Gentlemen.

CHICAGO, Oct 22-Surviving George M.
Pullman are the widow, daughters and two
sons. That Mrs. Pullman and the daugh-
tiers will receive abundant portions of the
car magnates millions there is little doubt.
But the sons-now comes another story
the story that the sons are disinherited
According to the story, the strokes of Mr..
Pullman's pen that made barrier between
his sons and his money were made only
ten days before his death AT that time Mr..
Pullman seemed to be in sound health.
Neither he nor his relatives had any reason
to believe that death was to call so soon
for him. When he made this will he might
| reasonably have expected to live several
years, and then have the opportunity to
make many more wills should he have that
fancy.
Though apparently in sound health, he
was not, apparently, in harmony with these
sons. He was generous to his family, but
he believed in work These sons showed no
qualities to indicate that they might sue
coed in the direction of big affairs. They
are interesting young men, but they are
not great business men, No dstincter con-
trast could be drawn between men than
that between Pullman and his sons.
Here in Chicago the attorneys. for Mr.
Pullman decline to give any information
but the story that the sons are disinherited
comes with such authority that 1t is widely
credited. In August the announcement was
made of the engagement of Sanger Pull
man and Miss Lynne Fernald, daughter of
j. w. Fernald Even after the announce
ment had been made by members of his
family, Mr.. Fernald was reticent about
the engagement. AT that time he was
quoted about Kenwood where he lived, as
saying: Il don't believe in talking about
an engagement or a wedding until it is an
assured thing. l do not want my daughter
to marry pauper. The fact that Mr..
Pullman, ST., has many millions does not
signify that his son has ever will have.
tentionS to my daughter, 1t was generally
understood that his father had given him
a good-sized block of stock in the Pullman
Company This, l understand, has been

Sanger Pullman might, after all, be COM
PEELED to support a wife by his own work.

New York special says The Pull

of them was a member OF any of the

The industrial situation continues to fur
nish employment to as many persons as at
any preceding period this year and at
higher wages. Production of iron, steel,
machinery stoves, car structural work,
glass and wooden goods continues heavy.
Steel mills have orders to carry them into
1898, and decline contracts for next years
delivery. This explains the advance in the
price of Bessemer pig iron, while the
foundry grades remain unchanged. The
extraordinary heavy and steadily increas-
ing production of iron is starting up fur
naces long out of blast, and although con-
sumption is heavy, it is not improbable that
production may outrun it in the near fu-
ture, which constitutes an unfavorable
point in the outlook.

LONDON, Oct. 22.-Dispatches received
to-day from Kharappa, northern India, an
nounce that the plan of campaign against
the insurgents has been so far successfully
carried out that junction has been effected
near Kharappa between the British forces
under General Sir Yeatman Biggs and Gen.
Sir William Lockhart. After the storming
and capture of Dargai ridge on the SANTANA
range by the troops of General Biggs on
Wednesday afternoon the plan was for the
latter to push on so as to hold the frontal
hills, then continue his advance to Kharap-
pa, where he was to join forces with the
column under Sir William Lockhart. This
has been done and the two columns are
now camped about two miles from Kharap-
pa. The British troops met with only
slight resistance, but the enemy is massed
on the hills around Kharappa, and desul-
tory firing is proceeding.
Captain Arnold, of the Dorsetshire Regi-
ment; Lieutenant Dingwall, of the Gordon
Highlanders, and Lieutenant White, of the
Sil1hs, are among the British officers Sc
verely wounded in addition to those whose
names have already been cabled.
Later dispatches from kharappa say
that it is impossible to praise too highly
the conduct of the Gordon Highlanders at
the storming of Dargai ridge When Briga-
der General Kempster realized that the
British gun fire, aided by the mountain bat
terry from Fort Gulistan, could not dislodge
the enemy and went forward in person to
move the Gordon Highlanders and the

mander of the Gordon Highlanders, adj

general says that position must be taken at
all costs. The Gordon Highlanders will take
it.
The men gave a ringing cheer and when
the advance sounded they bounded after
their leader, the officers at the head. When
they came down the slopes after the sue
cessful charge they were spontaneously
cheered by all the other regiments. The
GurkhaS also behaved magnitcently
throughout the engagement. Captain Robin
son, of the Gurkhas, acted with the great
est gallantry. He led his men across the
fire zone to cover. Finding the force there
insufficient he returned alone over the
death trap. He was mortally wounded while
leading the second rush to support the
first contingent. Many acts of heroism are
recorded of the rank and file. The total
casualties of the day were 1874, and the Cor
don Highlanders lost twenty in the
rush through the line of fire.
General WestmacottS brigade is now en-
camped in the Khanh valley. He has
cleared the enemy from the heights COM
handing the valley and destroyed their
towers.
Large drafts of soldiers have been or
dered to be got ready to reinforce the eight
British cavalry regiments now in India.

PARIS, Oct 2.-All Paris is talking of
the sensational reconciliation of Prince and

a great society event. The prince had long

Fiction took such serious turn that his
spiritual advisers administered the last
sacrament. To the surprise of everybody,
he rallied and though frequently lying of
late between life and death he finally re-
covered sufficiently to get the permission
of his medical advisers to drive in the Bots

started before Prince De Sagan ordered his
coachman to drive to the residence of the
princess, in the Rue st. Dominique. On ar
irving there he was received with open arms
by the princess and Comte De Perigord.
The news soon spread all over Paris. The
prince remains at the residence of the prin-
cess. The reconciliation is understood to be
largely due to the efforts of Comte De Peri
cord and an English royal parsonage.
