r. g. Dun & Co. s Review for last
week notes less volume of business
than in February or January, 'or of
the corresponding week last year.
Strikes in building trades or of ma
chinists and others at Chicago affect
many industries and the wages Of 80, 900
hands. The remarkable Use in cotton
has apparently met the expected reac-
tiou which tends for the time to repress
business. A few great corporations ARE
striving to hold prices without regard
to present demand, hoping that the
needs OF consumers may prevent reae
tion and renew the rise of last year.
Wide differences OF opinion also exist
regarding the effects of monetary action
by Congress. .u
Especial causes are not needed to
account for some pause after year OF
unprecedented buying. That suen
trade could not continue without a
pause was evident. and there is now
not the excessive speculation which
threatened monetary trouble year ago.
Failures last week were in amount
S3, 49,, S2I. manufacturing lis, 65l
and trading 50, 16l, 2ll. Failures for the
week have been 205 in the United

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Hockessin Castle, No. 10, X. G. E.,
Feb. 9th, 1900:
For the second time since the insti-
tuition of this castle we have been
called upon to attend the burial of one
OF our loved and loyal brothers, and
ne that we feel could least be spared,
ut to an all.wise Providence we
numbly low, and in the words of Holy
Scripture say Thy will, not ours, be
done. Brother Henry L. Durnalll was
a charter member of Hockessin Castle,
which was instituted February I'd,
1888. He has served in nearly all the
offices, has been elected trustee and
served in that office for several years.
He was one OF the most regular
attendants of the meetings of the
castle, scarcely ever being absent at
any of its meetings and his love for
the order made him an ardent advocate
of its principles. He was member of
the Grand Castle. attended its sessions
regularly. Brother Durnall was good,
consistent member, always advocating
that which was for the best interests
of the order, taking an active interest
in all it's work. We pray that Brother
Henry Il. Durnall has entered that
Grand Castle on high, and may he
have heard the Master say, "Well
done, thou good and valiant servant,
enter thou into the joys of thy Lord. .
Whereas, 1t has pleased God ia His
all-wise Providence to remove from our
midst our beloved brother. We bow in
humble submission to the will of God,
the Great High Chief of the universe.
Whereas, In the death of Brother
Henry Il. Durnall this castle has lost a
good and faithful member, his beloved
wife true and loving husband, his
children kind and loving father. We
have the blessed assurance that theil
and our loss will be his everlasting
gain; that now he is at rest; no suffer
ing of body, but enjoying the glorious
pleasures of heaven in Gods presence
awaiting his loved ones; therefore, be i
Resolved. That while we mourn hi
departure from our midst we have th
blessed assurance that he has gone t,
his everlasting home on high.
Resolved, That we do express on
heartfelt sympathy with those upol
whom this affection falls, and do com
mend them for consolation to Him VIII
Is nigh unto them, and He alone ca
comfort give.
Resolved, That our charter be drape
for six months and that these resc
buttons be spread upon our minutes,
copy be forwarded to the family, an
that they be published in three dali
papers published in Wilmington, DE

PREACHERS AFTER CAH00N
Desire to Punish Him for Calling the
\ Rev. DR.. Grove a Liar. -
TAKEN UP BY THE ASSOCIATION
Committee to Confer With City
Solicitor Conrad.
RELATIVE TO IMPROVING HIS OFFICE"

The Wilmington Methodist Preachers
Association is after Assistant City
Solicitor Cahoon's scalp, and at its
meeting Monday morning directed the
president, the Rev. Van p. Northrup,
to appoint committee OF three to
confer with City Solicitor Conrad,
with view to inducing him, as the
motion reads, to Improve the admins
tration of his office" The real object.
Of the motion is to request Mr.. Conrad
to remove Cahoon and select some
other attorney to fill the responsible
position of assistant city solicitor,
President Northrup has not appointed
his committee, but expects to select it
in few days, and, Judging from the
general sentiment manifested at Monday
mornings meeting, the committee will
lose no time, in performing the mission
assigned to it.
The action of the association re.
suited from the conduct of Assistant
City Solicitor Cahoon last Monday
week at a conference in Chief of
Police Dolan's office, which be attended
as representative of tho legal depart
ment of the city government, and in
the course CT which he is alleged to
have called the Rev. James Grove. d.
D., pastor of Asbury Church, a liar.
The preachers association held a
stated meeting Monday week, and as
'tSapno" was billed for the Academy
of Music that night. the matter was
mentioned at the meeting and after
some discussion the following cen.
mittee was appointed to call uror
'syor Fahey and Chief of Police
b plan and ascertain whether some
thing could be done to prevent the per
formance: Presiding Elder Watt, th'
Rev. ". L. S. Murray, D. D., tht
Rev. f. p. Harris, the Rev. j. w
Easley and Mr.. Grove. The Rev
Thomas a. McCurdy, pastor of Contra
Presbyterian Church, and George W
Todd, President of the Citizens
League, were also present. After tn,
clergymon had made known thei
mission Mayor Fahey and Chief Dolai
informed them that under the law the.
could not stop the show in advance
having no official knowledge Of it
character. The result of the conference
so far as the clay was concerned, is
matter OF history.
During the conference Mr.. Cahoo
gave his opinion in the matter an
when DIR. Grove spoke of his com
I1ibtinS htIhociit iCioiiihB W hit bbttb
he took, Cahoon took exception to hi
remark and applied the erithet men
toned above. DIR. Grove threatene
to have Cahoon arrested, but SO far a
is known no legal action has bee
taken. DIR. Grove said after the cor
ference that Cahoon evidently mi!
understood him, as he did not mea
any reflection in what he said. A
effort was made after the trouble
get Cahoon to apologize, but wheth,
he has done so is not known.
Very little was said about tn
episode at Monday mornings meeting
the preachers association, but it ht
been discussed outside and near
every member of the body was famili
with what took place at the City Hs
Monday week. The action of the NEE
ing appeared to be unanimous.

THE TAX CANNOT Be COLLECTED.

Harrisburg, Pa, March 1.-THE
hummelshine, council Of the Jr. o. U.
A. NJ. has scored against the National
and State bodies in the legal fight
against the imposition of the per capita
tax. This tax of 10 cents was ordered
to be paid by the National Council at
tho session held in Minneapolis last
year, but when the State Council met
at Scranton few months later it de-
cined 10 pay tho revenue claimed.
Thereupon the National Councillor sus-
pended the charter of the State Coun-
Gil, and from that date the split in the
order widened, through the action of
the subordinate councils, who, also, in
many cases, voted against the tax.
county court, before whom the case
was argued u few weeks ago, has handed
down an opinion in which he sustains
the Hummelstown council in it's con-
tention that the action of the National
Council was illegal. He grants au in
junction restraining the State Council
from levying and collecting the objec-
tionable tax from the Hummelstcw n
council, or otherwise interfering with
the council, disciplinary or otherwise.
This opinion is Of great Importance
to the more than 100000 members OF
the order. 1t was held in this proceed
ing that the National Council, under
its charter, granted by the Common
Pleas of Philadelphia, should conduct
its business in that city, but that in
violation Of that provision Of the charter
the National Council assembled last
year at Minneapolis, and that, there.
fore, all acts done by it at that session,
as we'll as the decree or judgment rem.
dered by the national judiciary are
illegal. Judge Weiss sustains this
view throughout the opinion, and de.
crees that the National Council he re.
strained from levying or collecting the
per capita tag of Is cents of or from OF
through the State Council.
