MISSIONARY WORK.
Something of What the Congregational
Church is Doing in This Country.

! Something of What the Congregational
Church is Doing in This Country.
| To the Editor Permit me to add some
| what to the report made in yesterday
| mornings paper of the work of the
| American Missionary Association. The
| higher Institutions alluded to should
have been Fisk University, of Nashville,
Tenn, with its 404 students; Talladega
College, Ala, $50; Tengaloo University
| Miss, 321; Straight University, New
Orleans, 500: Tillotson College, Texas,
2lI: Avery Institute, Charleston, s. c.,
300; Lemoyne Institute, Memphis, Tenn,
765.
Several of these carry on thoroughly
equipped departments of medicine, phar-
| macy, Law and Theology besides the
regular collegiate courses of study. The
grand normal and industrial school AT
Hampton was founded by this associa-
ton.
Trades are taught in their higher in
stitutions, and Industrial work i'll all
their schools. The Theological depart
ment of Harvard University is under It's
control.
No one can fully comprehend the mag
nitude and Importance of the work which
this association has been doing for over
fifty years among the Chinese, Indians,
mountain whites, and colored people of
our land.
1t costs over n thousand dollars a
day to keep all these forces at work.
Twenty million dollars have been
spent already in the equipment and sup
port of this work.
The greater part of this for the color
ed people in the south.
This has been done almost entirely by
the Congregational churches of the north
and wherever they have planted schools
and churches in the South or the far
West, you will find industrious moral
temperate people who are noble monu'
ments to the power of a pure Gospel
wise industrial training and educa-
ton.

After the present bridge Is torn away,
the retaining wall which is to be built
along the creek bank, will terminate in
an abutment that will extend into the
stream somewhat. An abutment from
the opposite bank will be thrown out,
so that steel girders. upon which the
rails are to be LAID will be able to have
sufficient support In their extension
across the creek. This will make a
strong bridge. without any supporting
pier In the middle OF the stream, and
spring freshets will not be able to pile

Chief Engineer Manning will have

CHICAGO, July s.-rhe dock ware
house OF the Chicago & Alton railroad.
extending from vanBuren to Harrison

burned this morning. Besides the ware
house, which was stored with merchan-
disc, about forty loaded freight cars
were also consumed. The loss Is esti-
mated at from 100000 to 100000. The
steamer chemung, OF me Buffalo a MI

loaded at the docks, was slightly dam
aged.
When the fire communicated TO tho
Chemung a number OF sailors were
asleep In their hunks and several OF
them had some narrow escapes. Watoh-
man Suite, OF the Alton company, was
on the scene when the fire was first dis
covered. His first thought was OF the
hundred or more dock laborers who
We're known to be sleeping In the dock
house. Fastening into the burning
structure, Suite aroused the sleeping
men and some We're bruised in escap-

remained in the building so long that

made impossible and he was forced to
jump from window. HI was injured,
but not seriously, Sparks from a pass

The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1897-07-09

AS predicted in yesterdays Intelligent
Ger. the storm center of the coal strike
is to be located in the vicinity OF Wheel
ing. where three big coal carrying roads
are conferred, all of them running to the
lakes-the great summer market for
coal. Events that have already trans
plred show that the miners in eastern
Ohio are In a bad mOod-this was shown
by the successful attempt to run out
the Dlll0nyale men by the miners from
Long Run, mines on the Wheeling &
Lake Erie road, operated by the receiy-
ers. II is generally conceded that the
passage OF coal from West Virginia IN
the lines Of the Baltimore a. Ohio.
Wheeling a Lake Erie and Cleveland,
Loraln & Wheeling roads will aggrayate
the eastern Ohio men far more than the
operation OF two or three mines In their
immediate neighborhood, the output OF
which would be but drop In abe great
coal supply bucket, while, on the other
hand. the passage of coal from Falrmont
TO the hikes means In large measure
the destruction OF the efficiency OF the
strike.
As related below, United States Mar
shall Devanney, OF Cincinnati. accom-
panied by a number OF deputy marshals,
arrived In Wheeling on the Baltimore g.
Ohio early yesterday morning, and were
taken from Wheeling to Dlllonvale and
Long Run on a special train on the
Wheeling & Lake Erie. It was thought
that their services would be needed yes
terday. but the management OF the Dill
lonvale mines decided that resumption
OF the Dillon No. mine would be de-
layed until this morning.
So the crisis will come this morning.
The miners who are willing to go to
work will be guarded by the marshais.
Perhaps there will be no violation of
law II the striking men are not drink
ing. As detailed below the United
States authorities have already confis-
Gated carload Of beer sent to Antonio
Dominicko, a Dillonvale saloon keeper,
which they believed would be used in
getting the strikers drunk and In a mood
10 defy the law and its servants. Even
n there Ia no violence when the Dillon
No. is started up this morning, the fear
is still general that II Is only delayed
until the West Virginia coal begins pass
ing over the Wheeling g. Lake Erie
road-and over the Baltimore & Ohio
and Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling
roads. too. II one coal train is stopped,
the fever Is likely TO become as conta-
glous as 1t was three years ago. when
the small force OF United States mar
shals was entirely inadequate to handle
the situation across the river.
The situation along the Baltimore &
Ohio and Cleveland. Lorain e. Wheeling
rosdB is practically unchanged since
Wednesday. Along the latter road in
the Wheeling creek district none Of the
mines is ut work. and on the Baltimore
& Ohio road back of Bellaire. only two
or three mines are at work. and they
are paying the sixty-cent rate demanded
for coal digging In Ohio.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Many PEN
sion cases are affected BY the following
rulings which have Just been made by
assistant secretary of the interior, Web
ster Davis: In the case Of Francis
Frank, OF companyH, Sixteenth Michi-
gan infantry. the department holds that
n claimant who has attained the age OF
Go years shall be deemed entitled to at
lenst the minimum rate OF pension. un-
less the evidence discloses an unusual
vIgor and vitality for the performance
OF manual labor in one OF that age. In
the case OF Edward Moore Of the Elgh-
tenth Independent battery. Ohio light
artillery, this policy Is laid down: When
1t shall be shown that the pensioners
right to have the pension inure wholly
to his benefit is being abridged or for
feited by the malfeasance OF the guards
an, and that the appointing court Will
not administer relief, then the commits
sIoner OF pensions would be legally au-
thorized to refuse payment to the guar
dian, and. II need be, to pay the pen
sloner himself.

the part OF the striking men who will
not work, Il Is not likely that there viii
be any, at least not until the Wheeling
& Lake Erie begins 10 haul West Yir-
glnla coal through to the lakes. Then
Il Is not believed that the small force or
deputy marshals will BIZ able to prevent
the stopping OF CO. trains. The field 70
be covered Is tno extensive for them 70
accomplish much on that line.
It had been stated that the Wheeling
& Lake Erie management. being aware
OF tho manifold difficulties that would
attend the transportation OF coal from
West Virginia 10 the lakes, would de-
cline to handle IL. This, however, Is a
mistake, as Receiver Blickensderfer said
to-day:
I'VE win haul anything offered to u.s."
Antonio Dominicko, a Dillonvale sa-
loonist, to-day received from Wheeling
carload Of beer, which was prac-
tieally conflscated when Domlnlcko was
arrested under the local option law at
the instance OF the marshals. II was
feared that the beer would be used In
getting the miners here drunk and thus
preventing them from going to work to-
morrow morning.
