The resolutions adopted recon-
mend the appointment of a committee
in each Presbytery to promote the
movement for Sabbath observance;
urge ministers TO discourage funerals
on the Sabbath; disapprove of sports,
excursions and other secular uses OF
the Sabbath; urge the omission of
Monday recitationS in seminaries and
colleges, so as to aid students in OBJ
serving the Sabbath favoring Satur-
day half holiday for all workers aud
condemning Sunday newspapers.

of 100000 persons now employed on
the Sabbath in the United States. The
assembly also received and adopted the
report of the committee on church CO.
operation and union.

TRACTION MERGER
IS CONTEMPT LATED
1t Will Include Nearly All Lines
In Indiana and Ohio
Territory.
!. u. T. TO REMAIN AS 1T Is.
The SYNDICATE is SAID TO BE
BACKED BY THE MCGOWAN AND
SCHOEPF INTERESTS Some
DETAILS.

Indianapolis, May 1S.-With the in
corporation of the Ohio Electric Rail-
way company at Columbus, O., it was
announced that various Schoepf syn
dictate interurbdn properties were to
be merged into one general corpora
ton. The capital of the new company
is given at 100000, but this is merely
a nominal figure, and it will later be
increased to S10,OO0,ooO or $4,000, 900.
Reports from financial centers indi-
cate that a similar merger of ali the
Indiana traction properties with the
exception of the lines to Rushville,
Shelbyville and Columbus, may be ex-
pected and that an interstate merger
of all the Schoepf-McGowan properties
in Ohio and Indiana will follow.
The Indiana merger will include, ac-
cording to reports, the lines of five
seperate systems. The only lines not
to be included are those of the India
napolis &c Cincinnati Traction COM
pany, known as the Henry lines, and
the line to Columbus, owned by the
Twins The Indiana Union Traction
company, of Fort Wayne and Wabash
ern Indiana Traction company and
the lines out of Evansville are suppos-
ed to merge with the MCGOWAN lines
included under the management of the
Terre Haste, Indianapolis & Eastern
Traction company, which was incor-
porated recently as a holding company
for all the syndicate lines entering In
dianapolis.
Great Central Company.
1t is said that the great central hold
ing company to include all the syndi-
cate lines of Indiana and Ohio will
have a capital of between 100000
and $75, 100000 and will control more
than 1000 miles of first-class and high
speed interurban traction lines. 1t is
not known whether Mr.. MCGOWAN or
Mr. Schoepf will head the company.
Each will be supreme in his own
state
The MCGOWAN people in Indiana and
the Schoepf people in Ohio have for
years been acquiring by outright pur-
chase, by lease and also by construc-
ton large number of individual trac-
ton properties. The intention of each
group has been to amalgamate the
lines of each state into big corpor
alton with the ultimate intention, it
has been thought, of consolidating the
two big state corporations into a gil
gantic holding company.

AN UNTIMELY THOUGHT.

VIII it be midnight morning.
And who will bend over my bier?
What a hideous fancy to come

While she gives the last touch to her robe
