-Four Protestant 0en0n1ina-
fions May Consolidate.
The Ninth Annual Meeting Of the National
MunicipIe League.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 22.--More than
one million church members in the
United States are vitality interested
in the proceedings of the conference
begun here today having for its object
a union of the congregational, United
Brethren and Methodist Protestant
churches and the smaller sect known
as the Christian Connection. The con-
ference composed of delegates appoint
ed by the four denominations to formu-
late a scheme of union if the idea is
deemed feasible. All of the churches
have a somewhat similar form of
church government, making much of
local elfgovernment. Any agreement
reached is likely to be based largely
upon the freedom and independence
of individual churches and freedom
from binding creeds. Creed differ
ences, it is felt, will not prove so great
an obstacle to unity as the ideas of
policy now obtaining. The question of
what name the unified denominations
should adopt will be an interesting
one.
If the union of the four churches is
accomplished it will form body of
one million two hundred thousand.
1t is believed that in the event of union
there need be little adjustment of
fields, save, perhaps between United
Brethren and Methodist protestants
These bodies have their chief strength
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland and
Indiana. Congregationalists are strong
est in New England, Brooklyn, Chic
ago and on the Pacific Coast, while the
Christians, who are not to be con
founded with the large Christian OF
Disciples of Christ body, have theil
strength in the south and southwest

CERTAINLY MYSTERIOUS.
The Disappearance Of Harry Huck
Attracts More Attention.
NOT A WORD OF HIS WHEREABOUTS.

The mysterious disappearance of
Harry Huck, son of the prominent
Chicago millionaire, and a brother of
Mrs. Marshall Field, Jr., from the AL
varado, about week ago, is a mystery
after all Huck was in i'll health, was
cut off from the Huck allowance, and
was known at different times to make
almost insane threats regarding his
existence. His letters relating to his
social standing, which secured him un-
limited credit, are not questioned as to
their genuine qualities, but a mans
family reputation is not his own,
His sudden departure was a surprise
TO those with whom he was daily asso-
ciated. no one having any knowledge
of his intention to leave.
Considering his gloomy and de-
spondent frame of mind whicn rem
dered his existence an unfortunate
period to himself and irritating those
around him, the refusal of assistance
from home, which was humiliating
to his sensitive nature, a man with
a life burdened with hopeless trials
as these, becomes careless and des-
perate concerning the laws regula-
ting human life.
These are the facts that cause his
friends to fear that he intended to put
ali end to his troubles. Word of his
strange actions and mysterious disap-
pearance has been sent to his father,
but no reply has been received All
efforts TO locate the whereabouts of
young Huck have been without sue
cess.

OFF FOR PEkITENT|ARY.
A Batch Of Eleven Prisoners Taken
TO Santa fs.
SENTENCED BY JUDGE BAKER.

Deputy Sheriff Newcomer, and Jose
Lucero, an official of the county Jail,
left this morning for the territorial
penitentiary with eleven prisoners
who were given their deserts by Judge
Baker yesterday. Bernalillo county
will be we'll represented at New Mex
ico's home for the wicked, and the old
county Jail will be reduced to nor
NAL capacity.
There was one woman in the line of
shackled prisoners as they boarded the
train. She is Placida Apodaca de Sa-
mora, who made an assault with MUIR
friends some months ago, for which
she will do time for one year.
Leading the line of prisoners as they
marched the line of the platform of
the Santa Fe station this morning was
John Hickey, the heavyweight tele-
graph operator, who by being caught
for forging a telegraph pass will enlist
in the government service for one
year. He will make a good brick han
dler. II was by the alleged use OF a
pen that he was confined in the legal
pen
John Willis and Arthur Drake, who
touched Mike Mandell and Simon
Stern for bunch of clothes, will
wear the stripes for one year.
! Charles Robinson was In the parade.
He received eighteen months for
working a bogus check on S, Vann &
Son.
Three other one year men were:
James Daniels, forgery; Charles Ma
son, larceny from dwelling, and John
Dougherty, larceny and breaking jail.
| James p. Deming won the premium
roll. He will do time for two years
and six months for forgery.
Justo Mares, the Santa Fe store
house employe, whose wholesale steal
ings caused sensation, will now sing
that beautiful ballad. "Stars and
Stripes" minus the stars, for eighteen
months.
The eleventh man was James Nolan.
another forger. He will be present at
the institution for one year.
A batch of prisoners, no matter how
good or evil looking, always attract at
tention. This morning as the county
residents marched from the depot to
their car, the curious public made
many inquiries as TO who a certain
person was and what was the offense
Many questions were asked regarding
: the old woman with a sad and emotion
less face who trudged along in the
rear.
When an over inquisitive person
was told that she was sent up for at
tempting to kill, look of horror would
creep over the face and not another
word would be said.
To come in contact with a prisoner,
one who has violated the laws of his
or her country. no matter how small
the offense may be. always fills an
interested spectator with a temporary
fear or horror of the man or woman,
held under the Furnishing hand OF the
law by the steel bracelets and chains.
While none of Bernalillo's delegates
are serving time for any extremely SER
ious offenses. they, beyond all doubt,
are receiving their just dues and are
far better of under the just hand OF
the government.

several gentlemen who spoke was
closely followed by all present. Thomas

and interesting. Mr.. Leigh cited the

stacles surmounted by the manage
ment in securing franchises in the sew

his remarks, explained the workings
of the corporation, as well as the sys-
tenn of automatic secret service which

petition in securing cheaper rates and
better service.
A. C. Stilphen of Farmingdale, fol-
lowed, and as he stated at the outset,
not in opposition to the petition, but
to present facts for the consideration

the city in the erection and mainte-
nance of the poles and wires of the
new company. The hearing closed and
the board reserved it's decision to a
