BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE.
Buffalo, n Y, Selected as the Next Place
Of Meeting.

Chattanooga, Tenn, July 17.-At a
meeting of the board of managers of the
Baptist Young Peoples Union of Ameri-
ca held this morning. Buffalo, n. Y, was
selected as the next place of meeting
provided the Buffalo people give assur-
ances that railroad rates and other minor
details will be satisfactory.
The Baptists began work at an early
hour. Between $50 and 7:30 five meet
ings for prayer, praise and testimony
were held in the city and one, which was
largely attended, at Sunrise Rock an
Lookout Mountain. Between 8 and
1890 O'Clock the workers conferences
begun yesterday were concluded.
Between 1890 and II o'clock depart
mental rallies were held. These meetings
represented the great divisions of the
territory in which the work of the Baptist
Young Peoples Union of America is car
ried on.
Charles M. Ness, chairman, made the
report of the executive committee, which
showed gains and a steady growth of
the spirit Of determination with the gen.
eral union.

day included the following mines: Elk
horn, Thacker, Maritime. Logan. Peel
Splint, Shamokin and Southern The agi-
tators, who have been in that vicinity
for week past, will depart tonight for
the great Flat Top fields, sixty miles
further up the Norfolk and Western,
where about 1000 men are employed.
They speak encouragingly Of their work
in West Virginia and assert that before
Monday noon every miner in the Flat
Top field will be out The indications are
that their claims are well founded, and
III addition the Dingess, further down
the line, which resumed work only few
days ago, will also have to suspend, as
dissatisfaction has developed among the
miners employed there. Seven hundred
day and the next big break is expected
in the New River fields.
Pomeroy, o., July IA secret session
of miner delegates was held here all
day to-day representing the mines in the
Bend ON the Ohio side They decided
to permit coal to be mined at the advance
only for home consumption. This will
permit the Salt Works and the mills
here to run. They are to make an uni
ted effort to get the West Virginia miners
out.
Cleveland, July 1.-THE local opera
tors are inclined to think that the miners
are practically masters of the situation
now. The operators do not look forward
to this condition with as much apprehen-
sion as they did few years ago.

SAYS SENATOR MORGAN
"a INDUSTRIOUS FRAUD AND
SCHEME OF EXTORTfON."
SOME ANALOGOUS RAILROAD WRECKING
A Lively Discussion of Subject that Means
Many Dollars to the Government
or the Huntington Rail-
road Ring.

Washington, ID. c., July Ex-senator
the time in the Senate to-day in support
of the Harris resolution relating to the
Union Pacific Realroad. He severely ar
raigned the executive officials connected
with sale of the government interests
in the road. Final action on the resolu-
ton was not reached.
The Senate soon after meeting went
into executive session.
The doors were opened at $50 p. m,
and Mr.. Morgan took the floor in support
of the Harris resolution. He presented
figures to show that the loss to the gov
eminent if the pending Union Pacific
settlement was carried out, would be
So, 600, 900, and he commented on the
fact that in doing this the Union Pacific
would secure property which they
proposed to capitalize at $500, 900, 900.
Mr. Morgan urged that the agreement
by which the reorganization committee
| would bid $40, 100000 for the government
interest was expressly designed to shut
out other bids as it permitted the COM
mittee to use the $17,000,000 sinking
fund in the Treasury as part of their
bid, while other bidders had no access
to this $17,000000. He presented a Sc
ries of points showing, he said, 1.-THE
INDUSTRIOUS fraud" and the scheme of
extortion and oppression" constituting
the most audacious plan of railroad
wrecking ever devised" The Senator
said President Mckinley could not af-
ford to carry out the agreement concern
ing the Union Pacific made by President
Cleveland he could not afford to become
the administra tor de bonis non, of an act
of the Cleveland administration so of
fensive as to wreck any man.
Mr.. Morgan had not concluded when
at $40 p. III. he yielded for an adjour-

THE EPWORTH LEAGUE.

A Great Gathering of This Religious
Force-Thousands in Attendance-In-
dianapolis the Place of Next Meeting.
Toronto, Ont, July 17.-Deep interest
and enthusiasm has marked the meet
lngs of the Epworth League. A few min
dtes before the doors of the Hassey hall
were thrown open hundreds of delegates;
were unable to btain admission. The
same story can be told of other places
of assembly.
AT the Metropolitan church Bishop w.
w. Duncan, Spartansburg, S. c., pre-
sided over a meeting called in the inter
est of the Methodist Episcopal church,
South. Addresses were delivered by Rev
j. j. Tigert, Nashville, Tenn; Rev
AlOnzo Monk, Macon, Ga; Rev. w. r.
Murray, Jackson, Miss, and bishop
Hurst, Washington, D. C.
Indianapolis, Ind, was decided upon
as the place of meeting of the next con-
vention.
The meeting this afternoon in the ex-
hibition grounds was the greatest of the
convention. Arrangements were made
for seating $4,000 people in the grand
stand and the stand was full to over
flowing.
At $50 o'clock there was a La Crosse
match between the Nelson's and the
Maitlands. The Epworth League COM
mittee presented Ii medals to be given
to the winners. After the La Crosse
match game a procession of nations
and as the flag of each nation was car
ried past, the bands of the royal grena-
diers and 4Sth highlanders played the
national air of that country. One hun
dred young women and men represented
the nations. At four o'clock a great pa
triotic meeting was held when addresses
were delivered.

THE CYCLE ASSOCIATION
HELD ITS MID SUMNER RACE MEET AT
MANHATTAN BEACH.
There Were Some interesting Racing fol
a Purse of One Thousand
Dollars,

New York, July 1.-THE American
Cycle and Racing Association held its
midsummer race meet at the Manhattan
Beach track this afternoon. There were
five events on the programme, the prin-
cipal one of which was a 20-mile match
between J. Frank Starbuck, of Lewis
burg, Pennsylvania, and Fred J. Titus,
of this city. The prize was a $1,000
purse, the winner to be matched against
Jimmy Michael in a contest to occur ON
the same track ON August 21st.
The race was close for six miles when
Titus dismounted, claiming that ne had
a stitch in his side which disabled him
from continuing the contest. When
Starbuck heard what had occurred he
shouted to the judges that he would con-
tinue the race and try to beat the record.
The American record for the distance
was made by Michael in his race against
Starbuck on the same track at the Quill
Clubs meeting last year.
Michael covered the distance in AZ
minutes II seconds. When Starbuck
had finished his fifteenth mile this after
noon it was foregone conclusion that
if he kept up the pace at which he was
going he would certainly create a new
record. He finished the distance in Al
minutes and six seconds, after making a
splendid squirt in the last lap.
The worlds record for this distance is
81 minutes and SO 4-5 seconds, which
was made by Tom Linton, the English
rider at London.

THE WOMEN TAKE PART
IN THE SHELBY. FIGHT FOR POST
MASTER.
McBrayer is Charged With Selling Liquor
Without License Also His Record in
the War is Brought Up.

Parties from Shelby bring the news
of an exceedingly hot fight there on the
question as to who is to be postmaster
there.
The leading candidate now is ]. III.
McBrayer. He has Congressman Lin
netys endorsement. but it seems that
there is very bitter opposition to him
among the citizens, and the further the
thing goes the hotter the fight gets.
To such an extent has it gone. 1 am
told, that a number of the women of the
town have circulated and forwarded to
Washington a petition attacking Nc
Brayer's moral character and asking
that he be not appointed postmaster. For
this, it is understood, he has threatened
to indict them. alleging Islander and
defamation of character.
In addition to this two affidavits and
petitions were yesterday prepared here
one charging that in 1SS6-'S7 McBrayer
was indicted in eighteen cases for sell
ing whiskey without license, and the
other that early in the war when a gov
eminent sympathizer was condemned to
be shot by Confederate troops and volun-
teers were called for to shoot him Nc
Brayer was the first man to step from
the ranks.
This latter affidavit is to be made by
one s. E. Bostic and l hear that it is ex-
pected to have great weight with Cyan
kee officials"
Senator Pritchard is keeping hands off
in this fight, while Linney is pushing Nc
Brayer's claims. The two strongest cam
didates against them are a man named
Winslow and another named Adylette.
The latter is now in Washington.

London, July IA somewhat pes
simistic view Of the proposed Debs collec-

the Spectator, which says:
"COllestivism hitherto has been con-
fined to foreigners in the United States,
particularly to Germans. But the new

party. Such a party seems to be in
process Of formation, and may portend
great changes iIr the character of Ameri-
can politics. 1t is likely to exercise con-
siderable influence throughout the world
sooner or later.
Assuming that the project were fair
ly successful "A collision between the
colonists and the trusts would be bound
to arise. The continued despotism Of
the trusts would easily occasion COM

Such situation would be bound to
lead to. the employment of the Federal
forces which, with Mr.. Bryan as Presi-
dent and Il Democratic Congress, would
take the form of suppression of the
trusts and railway corporations. With
Mr.. Mckinley, the interference would
be the other way. His eagerness for
n bi-metallic conference with the leading
European states shows an attempt to
capture the silver vote of the West so
as to break up the forces of discomfort.
"The ugly temper which is growing on
the basis of the revelations of the tariff
bill is adding fuel to the flames. In
America action is always taken suddenly,
and it may be but a few years before a

TRAMr,s FIENDIsH CRIME.
Brave Woman's Futile Fight to
Defend Her Honor.

Norristown, Pa, April AFTER a brave
truck gardeners wife at Penn Square,
came very near being killed by an unknown
tramp at her home Tuesday night Mr.
Teany was not yet home for the evening,
and just after his wife had stepped out
doors on an errand she was grabbed from
behind by the fIendish stranger. As the
assailant overpowered the struggl
woman, he kept threatening to shoot or
she fell exhausted and unconscious to the
ground.
Nearly an hour afterward the unfortu-
nate woman's husband returned home
Not finding Mrs. TeanS ia, the house, he
set out TO search for, herr He found her
in the yard, still unconscious, with nearly
all her clothing torn off. When the bruised
and bleeding woman recovered conscious
ness in the house ONE time. afterward, she
told her terrible story rs above with
many a shudder and moan. She may die
OF shock .3
Mrs. Teany could not des cribe her
brawny assaiiant, however, or even tell
whether he was black or white, since
he had approached her from behind, and
fought her to upconseiousness without let
ting her see his face. Consequently, the
Norristown police, who were notified OF
the affair, are utterly at loss for a clue
to the tramp's IDENTITY
