 IN HARTMAN HANDS
MANP INDICATIONS or THE TRUTH OF THIS STATE
 MEAY.

Persons in Position to Inspect Transfer
 Books Declare There Is Evidence
 That Goes Far Toward Confirming
 Story of Merger-UniOn Pacific, it is
 Said, Some Time Ago Took Over All
 the Illinois Stock Owned by the Rail-
 road Securities Company of New Jer-
 sey, Hartman Organization.
 New York, Feb. 1.-The Herald to- morrow will say: Tt was learned in this city yesterday that there are many indications that the Illinois Central railroad has been acquired by interests identified with the Hartman party. It has been known for some time that the Illinois Central holdings in the hands of this party have been figured as high as 160,000 shares, of par value of $l6,- 1000. According to statements made by persons who in a position to inspect the transfer books of the Illinois Gen. tral, there is evidence there that goes far toward confirming the story of a merger,
 Tt is said that the Union Pacific some time ago took over all the Illinois Gen. tral stock owned by the Railroad Se- curities company, a New Jersey cor poration organized by the Hartman in terests for the purpose of owning and holding Illinois Central shares The records show that this company had acquired at least SO,OOO shares of this stock, and this, added to the stock al ready in the hands of the Union Pa cific, would make that road at present holder of at least 240,0OO shares, of 2 par value of $24,O0OO0O.
 According to Wall street theory, this stock has not yet been transferred tC any corporation and still stands in thC name of individuals"

With his fire man. a man named Lowell, who is said to live at 43 Carlisle street, New Haven, he rode back to Saybrook Junction on a switching engine. At this station the men separated, the fireman going to the caboose of a freight train and Hart going forward to board the engine, as was his custom. The next seen of Hart was when he staggered, hatless and bleeding, into the Saybrook switch tower.
 It is believed that Hart met with an accident in trying to board the train. His recovery is expected.

SPLIT IN UNIoNIsT PARTY.
BaIfOur and Chamberlain Unable to
 Come to Agreement.

London, Feb. 5.-That there is a split in the unionist party is recognized as an existing fact by the unionist news papers this morning. They say 1t is definitely known that Mir Balfour and MT. Chamberlain have agreed to dis agree and that 1t is believed Mir. Cham berlain will withdraw from his adhes- ion to Mir Balfour and organize a sep arate party on tariff reform, This, it Is admitted by the Standard, the Morning Post, and other unionist newspapers, will be the only course open to MT. Chamberlain unless, indeed, MT. Balfour decides to call meeting of the party and allow it's members to decide the question of leadership. Even then, the papers say, it is not believed that either MT. Balfour or MT. Chamberlain will recede, the former premier having told Mir. Chamberlain that he would not &C., cept bis tariff reform policy.
 The whole situation forms the polit- ical sensation of the hour, and nothing else is discussed in the political clubs. It was stated very emphatically yes- terday that if MT. Balfour would not agree to call a meeting of the party, former Secretary of State for Home Affairs Akers-Douglas would be ap- pointed leader ad interim until Mir. Bol- four is returned to parliament by the city of London.

Thousands cheered at this moment, and the band played Spanish fandango.
 The second bull was ceremonlorsly dedicated to the duke of Almodovar by Matador Morenita, which is custom of the country, It proved to be an ugly fighter and gored the blind horse of a picador. This bull was also dis matched. Another bull killed five horses, four of them dying in the arena, while the fifth, terribly gored, staggered out side and died.
 The picadors were often unhorsed, but none of them was seriously hurt. The skill of the matadors was shown as they pirouetted before .he believing animals, which were stung 10 madness bE the darts with their gar streamers suck into them. The foreigners pres ent witnessed the scene with mingled admiration at the audacity of the ma tadors, and horor at it's cruelty.

 The resignation of Dr. Rainsford was in the form of letter to J. Pierpont Morgan, senior warden of the church, from Cairo, Egypt, dated January z last. Dr. Rainsford wrote that, while his health was better than it was year ago, he had definitely concluded that he had not strength enough to continue the rectorship. MT.

Fulton Cutting, one of the vestrymen, who ascended to the pulpit and read, without comment, the letter to MT. 1 Morgan and the resolutions of the ves- | try.

GREAT EVANCELISTIC
 CAMPAIGN INITIATED
TORREY AND ALEXANDER START THEIR WORK AMONG THE
 "QUAKERS.0

Armory With Seating Capacity of 5,5OO
 Filled Long Before Time Set for
 Meetings in Afternoon and Evening
 -Gratifying Interest shown--ReIig-
 ious Awakening to Cost Close to
 $5O,OOO--A Hope That the Revival
 Will Spread Throughout Country aa
 Did That in Great Britain.
 Philadelphia, Feb. 4.-After @ four years evangelistic campaign through Australasia India, England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and Canada, the Rev. Reuben A. Torrey and Charles M. Alexander, the revivalists, to-day be- gan in this city a three months mds- sion, which is expected to eclipse any similar movement ever undertaken here. Two large meetings were held in the armory of the Second Regiment, N. G. F., the first in the afternoon and the second tonight. So great was the in terest that there was an overflow of several thousand persons, who were unable to gain admittance to the big building, and hundreds attended ser vices in nearby churches The arrange ments for the opening meetings were perfect, and the interest aroused in the movement was extremely gratifying, not only to MT. Torrey, but to the cler- gymen and others in charge of the re- vival.
 The armory has seating capacity of 5,5OO and long before the hour set for the opening of the afternoon meeting the doors had to be closed. There were no formalities in beginning the services. MT. Alexander, the musical director, opened the meeting by having the choir of 500 voices sing revival hymns, after which MT. Torrey delivered his intro 1 ductory sermon, taking his text from Proverbs xii, 30. He that winneth souls | is wise" Before the meeting closed ten l persons in the audience arose and pro- fessed religion. The crowd that vainly attempted to get into the night meeting was greater than the one that was un- l vices.
 l Afternoon and evening metings will be held daily except Saturday, which day Messrs. Torrey and Alexander have reserved for rest and study. A choir of ing fiss' presentr- resent - sss the singers about 400 clergymen and others have volunteered to do personal work among the people or act as ush- CTS. During the period of the revival, monday meetings will be conducted for the benefit of business men, and meet ings will also be held in large indus trial establishments. MT. Torrey will be among the speakers at the midday services.
 The committee in charge of the reviv- al has spared no money in attempting to arouse the religious interest of the people of the city Hndbills and small cards announcing the meetings have been distributed by thousands, and throughout the city, on dead walls and fences, side by side with theatrical ad- vertisements, large posters bearing q picture of the cross. and appropriate Bible verses may be seen. The religious awakening is expected to cost close to $5O,O00, which sum is being collected through general contributions of the citizens of the city.
 Those engaged in the work of evan gelism, hope that the revival begun here to-day will spread throughout the country, and arouse such an interest as that in Great Britain.
