st. Louis, Mo-, Dot. 10.-The 9Oth

of Commissioners for Foreign Missions
began today in Pilgrim Congregational
Church, aud will continue three days.
AT the conclusion of the opening
devotional exercises, the Rev. Df.
Michael Burnham, pastor of Pilgrim

short address, in which he welcomed
those present 10 the city. Response was
made by the Rev. Samuel b. Capen,
LII. D., of Boston. president OF the
board, who referred to the murder Of
missionaries in China, saying: Nine
teen years ago, in this city, the Shansi
mission was inaugurated; this year,
il has been practically exterminated in
awful massacre. The Chinese uprising
was not chiefly because of the lnis-
sionaries. The great reason was the
injustice of the foreign nations in
stealing ports and territory and the
commercial progress. which had often
selfshly and hearttssy run rough
shod over Chinese traditions, which, in
any case, was depiiving iaborers in
great numbers Of their employment. !"

Conductor Hawkins Thrilling Experience
With Negroes at seaford.
Some action should be taken by the
officials OF the several railroad organiza-
tions looking toward the proper arming
OF their trainmeu. The necessity for
this has again been shown by tie at
tempted shooting OF conductor on the
Delaware railroad on Monday morning
last, the third shooting ARRAY within
the past two months.
On Monday morning when the New
York and Norfolk express, due in this
city at 4. Is O'Clock, was about to leave
Seaford four negroes we're seen on the
front end of the baggage car. Con-
ductor Thomas Hawkins ordered the
men off the train. They objected ard
showed fight and it required the united
efforts of the train crew to remove them
from the steps of the car,
No sooner had the negroes been re.
moved when they began the use of
pistols, but their aim was bad and no
person was injured, although the cap
of Conductor Hawkins shows the
marks of a bullet, whore it glanced
c.ose to his scalp.
The men boarded the train again,
but after firing one shot were compelled
10 get eff as the lamp of Conductor
Hawkins beat across the head of the
men in great tattoo and two shots
from the revolver of the Adams EXPRESS
messenger caused the men to retreat.
Capt. Hawkins will carry revolver in
the future. This is his second ex
perience Of this kind In the past two

Townsend, Oct. 10. Considerable COM
plant comes from the rural districts below
Townsend, as result of the manner in
which the free rural delivery mail SERVICE
inaugnrated some months ago. is being con-
Quoted. The service.as at present managed,
is not at all satisfying to the residents
along the route, who hoped to have their
null service improved when the new system
went into effect. Instead of an improve
lnent 1t has been the reverse.
The district covers several miles VI coup-
try territory below Townsend and extend
ing to Taylor's Bridge. The, carriers reside
at the former place, and make delivery over
the route in the morning and return
in the afternoon. Under the old sys-
tenn the mail carrier started every morn
ing from Taylor's Bridge and drove
to Townsend, returning after the morn
ing trains arrived at that place. This
gave the people Of that territory much bet
ter service than is given under the present
system, for the reason that the mail was col
lecteu every morning and mails were re-
oeiyed every morning. Letters mailed at
Taylor's Bridge this morning, under the
rural delivery system, are not collected until
afternoon and do not reach Townsend until
too late to get away that day. This the
residents along the route object to, ana it Is
claimed that the service is otherwise ineffi-
cient and unsatisfactory. As stated In the
beginning people along the route are COM

those years the Single INK ticket stood for
a principle. The thing you are now OF
work on stands for miserable, political

for the very good reason that Single Takers
cannot be delivered bodily to Addicks. And
when it fails l suppose that Addicks will
once more complain that he has not re-

Your letter to me does not hesitate to in
