 The call of the Rev. Andrew Burns Chalmers to the Plymouth Congregar tional church of Worcester, Mass, is a flattering one, as it is one of the strong est churches of the denomination in New England. His many friends here hope that he will see his way clear to decline the call. Members of his church and congregation will use their best eff forts to have him remain. During his pastorate of about year and half, his church has largely increased in membership and the church work has been reorganized and placed upon a more substantial basis. Mir. Chalmers has not as yet decided regarding the call.
 MT. Chalmers spent Sunday in New York. It was the first Sunday that church services have been held since his coming here that he has not been in his own pulpit during the day. In the morning he listened to a sermon in Plymouth church, Brooklyn, by Rev. pr. Hillis. Dr. Hillis is well known here having given an address some months ago in the Grand avenue Congregational church before the Congregational club. Mr. Chalmers says that Plymouth church seats 2,500 people and is filled at nearly every service. The people of the church have already raised $5O,OOO to- wards fund of several hundred thou sand dollars for the Beecher memorial building. In the evening MT, Chalmers attended at the Cooper Union and list ened to sn address by the Rev. S. Cadman on Abraham Lincoln" He was the guest during his stay in New York of his cousin, the Rev. James B.. Chalmers, rector of Holy Trinity church. A schooner has arrived at the Front street wharf of the Warner-Miller com pany with a load of fireproofing.

The steamer, a Norwegian | tramp ship draws too much water to permit coming to the wharf until por- tion of the cargo is lightered. With one exception this is the largest cargo that has arrived in the harbor in years-the exception was the cargo of 4,4O0 tons of Scotch coal received a few weeks ago.
