Of echoes. Mr.. Spurgeon had discovered the
fact. At the close of his last appeal, rails
ing his voice, he called to the congregation:
tAll things are ready! Come! The spirit
and the bride say come!' and nature herself
accents the heavenly invitation again and
again. Come! Come! Come!"
The echoes took up the word, and from
side to side the breathless assembly heard
the repeated call, Come! Come! Come!"
till it sank to a whisper in the distance.
The narrator describes the effect as like
an electric shock" 1t was as IL the preach
er's eloquent peroration had wakened su-
pernal voices.
We have no written record of the fruits
of the meeting, but there was a solemnity
in the aptness Of its close that lifted it
above mere dramatic artfce or any of the
devices employed to trick.

STURGEON HELPED BY AN ECHO.
Remarkable Eject Produced on
Vast Assembly.

No orator ever less needed the aids OF art
than the great London preacher, Charles II.
Spurgeon, relates Youths Companion, and
none ever used them less; but when ma
ture helped him, not only in himself, but
outside OF himself, he welcomed the effect,
as he had right to do. One striking in
stance of sermon reinforced in this way
is related by a clergyman of the Church Of
England, the Rev. ID. A. Doudney.
Mr.. Spurgeon was holding outdoor meet
ings in the county Of Hants (opposite the
Isle of Wight and one afternoon he
preached to a great throng OF people in
beautiful valley near the market town Of
Havant.
His text was from the fifty first Psalm,
"Then will teach transgressors thy ways"
and the sermon was ! gospel invitation. The
air was still and cloudless sun was sink

course, while the attentive hearers caught
every word
Apparently they had not noticed, carried

MANY FIRMS SIGN THE SCALE
AmaIgamated Association Starts with
n Better Record Than for
Several Years.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 1.-The new scale
year of the Amalagmated Association OF
Iron and Steel Workers began today, with
better record for the union than has been
made for more than half a dozen years
Nine individual firms and the representa-
tives of the American Hoop company, Re-
public Iron and Steel company and the Iron
and Steel Sheet Manufacturers association
have signed the scale so far and ether sigma
lures are expected before the day closes.
The latest addition to the signers was the
Hyde Park Iron and Steel company of Hyde
Park Pa. The mills that have not signed
but at which scales have been presented
are Spang, Chalfant & Co., Pittsburg Forge
and Iron company and Moorehead Bros
& Co. OF these all but about fifty men are
out at Spang's, the works of the forge com
pany have shut down and Moorehead's plant
is still in operation. The local firms not
recognizing the union are the Carnegie Steel
company, Jones & Laughlin's, Park Steel
company, ]. Painter a Sons, William Clark
Sons company and Singer, Nimick & Co.
At several of these the workmen are secretly
connected with the Amalgamated, but no
attempt was made to insist upon the scale
and all the plants were in full operation to-
day, with no trouble threatening except at
Carnegie's, where war was declared on the
union by the discharge Of a number Of work
men known to be members.
AS the result of the failure to agree upon
the tinplate scale, all the mills in the coun-
try are idle today, barring four non-union
plants and nearly 900 skilled and unskilled
workmen are out Of employment pending
settlement.

UNION CITY A BATTLEFIELD
Town in Ruins as the Result of Combat
Between Miners.
RUNNING FIGHT KEEPS UP ALL NIGHT
Not n House Remains in the Village
Formerly Occupied by the
Union Miners-NO Deaths
Reported.

ST. LOUIS, July IA special to the Post
Dispatch from Carbondale, ILL.,, says: Union
City, named from the fact that it is occupied
by union miners, was the scene of battle
last night about midnight and as a result
the town is in ruins. The non-union negroes
and other men employed by Brush at his
mines near Fredonia, having become crazed
over the killing of the woman yesterday,
went to the camp, which consists of mine
houses, and opened fire on them, which was
at once returned. The battle ragged until the
union miners ran from their homes and took
refuge in clump of timber close to the
village. The non-union men at once ap-
piled the torch to the houses and all were
burned to the ground. After the men had
destroyed all property previously occupied
by the union men they moved on to the
woods and until daylight the fusillade was
kept up No lives have so far been reported
lost in the engagement at Union City. Union
miners have been arriving at the scene of
the trouble all night and the outcome must
be long-drawn -out battle. Both sides
seem determined to win.
Miners Surrender Prisoners.
A special to the Post Dispatch from Mar
ion, Mo-. says: The two negroes who were
taken from the sheriff by the mob in the
here at noon in the custody OF two union
miners and lodged in Jail. Union miners
from other towns are gathering there today
in large numbers. Grave apprehension is
felt by the officials that the gathering means
continued and serious trouble for Brush s
men and the non-union negro miners. The
sheriff has sent another message to Acting
Governor Warder this afternoon in the course
OF which he said: Nothing short of 200
soldiers, well armed, can control the situa-
tion at Carteryille. All the working non
union miners at Brush's mine are armed and
the union strikers are gathering from several
points with the avowed intention of killing
Brush's men and destroying the mines The
strikers are severaf hundred strong, deter
mined and all well armed. Order troops there
at once. The situation Is too serious and the
numbers engaged too large for a sheriff S
posse. Ship all guns to Marion. Over !, 900
shots have been fired since noon yesterday"

New and Valuable Discovery Made
on Rapid River.

Erv Johnson the famous host OF
the famous Overland at Boise passed
through Weiser last Friday morning
on his way to Rapid River The
cause of his trip was excitement
through having received Il letter from
Sam Wilson, the prospector with whom
he is interested in properties in the
Seven Devils region Wilson sends
large sample of graphite from the
ledge recently discovered by him at
point some 10 miles from the Pea
cock mine.
The statements made in the letter,
concerning this property are of n
most interesting character. Wilson
saws lie could furnish train load of
the graphite from the deposit expos
ed on the surface. He does not state
what the width of the ledge is, but it
is manifest that the deposit is very
large.
The sample of graphite sent Mr..
johnson weighs two or three pounds.
Those who claim to know something
about this mineral pronounce this
specimen to be very fine. 1t does
not show any grit.
Wilson has also found a very large
ledge of asbestos. In the letter re
ferred to he informs Mr.. johnson
that this deposit lies parallel to thu
graphite and so close to it that a sin
ole location covers buth leads H'
said wagon road could be built t.
the property at cost Of S2500
