for the first time held meetings in this
city.
Gen. O. o. Howard, the president of

field secretary. accompanied by the
district secretary, Rev. George G. J..
Browne, held meetings in the First

The services evidenced a very deep
interest on the part of the audience in
the subject and the speakers, by the
close attention.
When the field secretary, Rev. Swift,
introduced the work, giving the facts
concerning the work, in which he
portrayed the great needs of the null
titudes to whom the gospel never
comes, unless the agency of the Amer
lean Tract Society, with its colportors
and printed page; when he teld of the
$1,000, 900 homes already made happy;
the 1000, 900 pages in Spanish already
placed in Cuba and Porto Rico; Of the
113, 500 district publications of the So
ciety, the 701, $50. 700 volumes and per-
iodicals, of the 1,500,0 600 pages placed
in hands of our soldiers and sailors;
when he appealed for the means to
make the grants of destitute fields, it
was evident that the audiences were
ready to respond, and the gifts and Of
ferings that followed each meeting
were numerous and liberal.
Gen. Howard told of the great desire
of the soldiers for the society's publ
cations and how from the Philippines
his own son appealed for primers and
Christian literature.
Gen. Howard will tomorrow address
the ministerial association and the
federation of churches.

NEWPORT, R. L., January 13.-With
the exception of the decorations at the
church and at the house, the prepara-
tons for the wedding Of Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt to Miss Elsie
French are practically completed. all
the guests who arrived in the city to-
day were shown their different resi-
dences, and a we'll known caterer has
arrived with his force of assistants.
The numerous carriages which will
convey the $50 guests from the church
to the house are in the city. The last
or the guests came this morning and
afternoon, the principal arrivals being
VIM. K. Vanderbilt, who came in u
private car during the afternoon and
Senator Chauncey M. Depew, who ar
rived by boat tonight. Mr.. Vanderbilt
was met by his nephew at the station
and the party was at once driven to
1.-THE Breakers" the we'll known resi-
dence of Cornelius Vanderbilt at Ochre
Point. Tonight Mrs. Vanderbilt en-
tertained a large house party, as did
also her so~n-in-law, Mr.. Harry Payne
Whitney, who married Miss Gertrude
Vanderbilt in this city three years ago.
This afternoon the entire wedding
party visited st. Johns church, known
to the people here Is the Zasriskie
church, and there a short rehearsal
was held. At the conclusion of the
regular service tonight a large corps
of decorators from New York took pos
session of the church and they will
work until 8 o'clock tomorrow morn-
ing. j
Tomorrow at noon the wedding will
occur. and although it takes place at
one of the highest Episcopal churches
in the city, the programme of the GER
emory, at the request of Miss French,
has been simplifed as much as posi-
BILE. At the conclusion of the cere-
mony, which will probably not occu-
by more than seven minutes, all of the
guests will be driven to the French
residence. It is expected that Mr..
Vanderbilt and his bride Will leave on
their honeymoon aGou. tsree o'clock
in the afternoon. 1t is rumored to-
night that they will go no farther than
Rivertown, six miles up the island,
where Mr.. Vanderbilt has an extensive
country residence.

CHICAGO, January 13.-The four
persons who were reported missing
last night after the panic in Twelfth
street, Turner Hall, during which fte
persons were trampled to death, were
accounted for to-day. Though there
were more than two score of persons
badly hurt, the list of dead was nc. IL
creased to-day, and it is though: now
that none of the injured will die.
In the Jewish quarter it was repeat

that the panic was started with MALI
cious intent. Hugo Oldstein. a cripple,
has informed the police that just a
few minutes before the false cry of fire
was raised, a young mar accosted him
At the foot of the stairs leading to the
hall, and advised him to get out of the
way, saying that there would be some
thing doing in a minute"
The manager of the hall to-day de-
clared his belief that the panic last
night and a similar, but less serious
stampede there a few weeks previous,
were started with the intention of il
juring his building.

New York to be gone q week, and he
left his ultimatum with the Saenger-

said:
LAS the matter presented itself to
me at the Friday meeting. the applica-
ton for the permit was not for the
purpose Of giving a sparring contest,
but for the purpose of getting out OF
giving a sparring contest. / so told
the gentlemen present at the confer

the fact, we'll known and understood
by them, that it had from the first
been understood that the permit was
to be issued at the proper time for the
contest, and l added that l stood just
where / had stood at the beginning
and that if they went on with their
arrangements the permit would be in
their hands two days in advance. 1t

The only question here now about the
fight among the agitators is IS to the
time when the Saengerfest Athletic
Club will declare it off.
Gus Rubin arrived here this after
noon and up to midnight there was no
effort to arrest him. He denies that he
is in training for a prize fight and
says he is here for a weeks theatrical
engagement. As the Evangelical As
ISOLATION thinks the fight is sure to
be declared off, it is quite likely that
Rubin will not be arrested.
