A Congregation accommodated

st. Louis, August 9.-The decree of
Bishop Jansen, of the Roman Catholic
diocese of B%elleville, Ill, ex-communi-
eating the members of st. Patrick's
congregation Of East st. Louis, who are
in rebellion against his authority in the
matter Of appointing a German born
priest to succeed IN Irish American rec
tor, went into effect at noon today, when
the communicates held a meeting in
defiance of the prelate.
Last Sunday the decree was read in
every church in the Belleville diocese,
and last night at a largely ATTENDED
meeting the members of St. Patrick's
decided not to submit to it. The meet
ing held today in open defiance of Bish-
op Jansen brought to a climax the
trouble that has been brewing for sew
eral months, or ever since the appoint
ment of Father Cluse as rector in OPP
position to the wishes Of the congrega-
ton, who are all Irish or Irish-Ameri-
cans. About 600 persons fall under the

Chicago, August 9.-The Tribune to-

Missouri river merchandise traffic is
certain to involve h western roads in
a serious rate a The proposition to
arbitrate the question whether the
Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf road
should be allowed a differential rate on
merchandise via the gulf ports to the
Missouri river has been voted down by
the western roads, because the south
Atlantic lines are determined to meet

Executive officers of the western
roads were in session all day trying to
bring about a settlement Of these

Fayetteville had its first break" in
the big new tobacco warehouse today.
and the officials, as we'll as the commu-
nifty in general. are well content with
the suspicious Inauguration Of the en-
terprise.
A busy scene was presented all the
morning up to the hour Of sale-the
rolling of trucks, the numbering Of
wagons, the influx OF buyers and look
ers-on. the sorting OF the tobacco
piles, the clanor OF hundreds OF tongues
ETC., cts 1t was a break OF about
5000 pounds of tobacco. and among
the buyers were men from Richmond
and Danville. Va, and Greensboro and
Rocky Mount, y. c. President Bans
tory OF the Tobacco Warehouse Com
pany expresses himself much gratifed
with the amount OF tobacco on the
floor, the territory covered. embracing
the counties of Moore, Robson. Bla-
den, Cumberland, Sampson n Har-
nett, the quality OF the goods, and the
prices obtained. The secretary, Major
E. l.. Pemberton. a his hands full
for hours, but handled the immense
business in his charge with efficiency
and dispatch. Many ladies were pres

while they brought back to the old
men memories OF the halcyon past of
Fayetteville, when Hay street throng-
ed with these white canopied caravans

The veterans reunion closed this
morning, and proved to be an occasion
of unalloyed enjoyment. Yesterday af-
ternoon Major A. A. McKethon, a brave
eX-cOnfederate officer, was chosen
commander, Colonel J.. B. Starr having
declined a reelection, though his loyal
southern heart will never cease to beat
with warm love for the southern SOL
der; Captain J. B. Smith was elected
vice president, and Captain A. d. Nc
Gill is still secretary and adjutant.
Major E. J. Hale, the gallant a%djutant
general Of Lanes division, is president
of the United Camp of Veterans, in

Misses Eta, Martha, Sallie and Ma
mic Brown delightfully."- entertained a
large number of friends last evening
with a leaf party" in honor Of their
guest, Miss Mary Reynolds, of Hamp-
den Sydney, Va. Tasteful decorations,
with the charms of groups Of lovely
girls, made the brilliant parlors veri-
table bomers of beauty, and finally
came the contest for the prizes, which
consisted in properly naming twenty
different varieties of pressed leaves.
The first prizes were won by Miss Rey-
holds and Mr.. Chas. G. Rose, while Mr..
Sandy" Brown approved himself a
model agnostic in botany, and was
voted the "booby" with a shout of en-
thusiasm. Tempting refreshments were
served during the evening.

they did some fine work on Market
square, to the interest and delight of
hundreds of on-lookers.

Worthy OF Quay.

Pennsylvania, Senator Quay has
caused to be circulated a promise
that is like him and that is an illus
trstion of his methods. The aim is to
hold h~esitating legislators in the Quay
column by the specious assurance that
the senator. II reelected. will agree to
resign In the event of his conviction
on the charges pending against him.
This proposition becomes ridiculous

cess OF law. go elsewhere than to the
United States senate He will hardly
resign IL elected to the senate-his
promise is supernuous: doubtless, II
elected, he will be expelled IL he is
found guilty. The honest people OF
Pennsylvania certainly ought to know
enough about Quay by this time to de-
cid whether he Is nj TO be in the fed
eral senate-to say nothing of a trial on
which. his henchmen feel sure. he will
have an availing pull with any jury

the Sun: Mr.. Bryan's leadership was

then made him the chieftain of his
party. His credentials include the
record OF the $500. 1876 votes which his
