SENATOR TELLER'S HOLD SPEECH, Do Vigorously Denounces Secretary Win dow's Measure As A SCHEME OP THE MOMJ-MLTALMSTS Tie Bill or the Finance Committee Is Kot Entirely Eatli factory. Teller, of Colorndo, held the attention of the Senate upon the silver question jester day. He declared that silver must be placed on an eauality with cold as a money metal. The Windom bill was vigorously denounced, and the Senator declared he would stand by silver whether it parted him from the administration or not. Washington, May 14. In the Senate this afternoon the silver bill was taken up and Mr. Teller addressed the Senate. He stroke of thebill ns relating to perhaps the most important question that had been pre sented to the Senatesincethederaonetizttion of silver in 1873, if it could be truthfully eaid that that question had ever been pre sented to the Senate. He disclaimed any anxiety or any especial interest in pro moting the prices of silver, save and except that silver was an American product and that therefore every American ought to have an interest in advancing its price. The people of the State of Colorado haa comparatively little interest in the advance ment nf Hie price of silver because, although, they produced one-sixth of all the silver produced in the world, they did not depend upon the silver product, and verv shortly (in the immediate lutnre) the other inter nets of the State would far outweigh the in terest ot mere silver production. . THE KEAIi QUESTION. The silver product of the United States (50,000,000 ounces last year) was insignifi cant in comparison with the treat interests of the country that were involved in the re habilitation of liver as a moucv-metal. It would not dp to &ay that "the silver barons of the West" were demanding it, or that its dcraandwas in the interest of cheap money. It war demanded in the interest ot human ity, iultiC interest of civilization, in the in tcresftii progress, in the interest of the whole human race. There was in the coun try r general lecling (not confined to any clrss) that silver ought to be used as money, oi equal terms, so far as practicable, with gild. He did not know u Senator, except cue, who did not hold that the demand lor liver coinage was a proper demand, and one that ought to be met. Senators who had hitherto been avowed supporters of the gold standard now ad mitted that silver was wanted as money. He criticised the Windoni bill, and said ha should regard himself (after the study which e had given to the Question ) as an imbecile he could not see what the purpose and ojt-ct ot that scheme was. That scheme met the approval ot the gold mono-aietallists everywhere, and that was reason enough to warrant suspicion that it was a trojan horse. SILVEE AND THK ADMINISTRATION. Of the bill reported from the Finance Committee he said it was lounded on some srsteni ot financial policy and there was some puilosophy in it, but it did not propose to use silver as money. Its fundamental idea was (as in the other bill) that silver was metal and nothing else. Mr. Teller went on to speak of the silver plank in tne national Republican platform as promising the mil recognition of silver money, and said that that plank bad been inserted in recognition of the universal demand of the country for the use ot silver as money, and that he would insist upon its observation whether it parted him from the administra tion or not. Did the pending bill, he asked, recognize silver in accordance with that platform? He thought not. 'Without concluding bis speech Mr. Teller yielded to a motion to go into executive session. "When the doors were reopened the silver bill was laid aside informally till to-morrow and the Senate proceeded to business on the calendar. CHINESE STILL COMING. THE PRESENT EXCLUSION LAW ENTIRELY INADEQUATE. Blonsollnni Pouring Over the Mexican Border Line Jrntt About an They Please The Force ! Kot Equal to the Exigencies ol the Occasion. "Washington, May 14. The Secretary of the Treasury to-day transmitted to the Senate a report from Datus E. Coon, Chinese Inspector at San Diego, Cal., with respect to evasions of the Chinese exclusion act. Mr. Coon says that it is true that the Chinese are coming into the United States despite the efforts of the Customs Department to keep them out. An examination he made of the State line, Mr. Coon says, shows that the opportunities for crossing the Mexican border into California are many, and with the force at the command of the department it will be impossible to prevent all of them from entering this country. "When they Have once reached ban .Uiego unobserved. it is practically impossible to pro.ve when or how thev came in. Commenting upon charges that the Scott exclusion act is a failure, Mr. Coon says that this is practically true, as to its execu tion, for the reason that when a Chinaman is arrested he is enabled, while in confine ment, to make arrangements with friendly countrymen to be returned a second time and to be conducted tosomeotbertown. He is also able to so disguise himself as to make identification if caught extremely difficult. The order of the Secretary of the Treasury, prohibiting the transfer of Chinamen in transit in the harbor of San Francisco was a most fortunate one, and will check the traffic for a time. But some other method, Mr. Coon is confident, will be found by which to come into the United States. Mr. Coon suggests treaty negotiations with the British Government and Mexico looking to the exclusion of the Chinese, and sayB Chinese exclusion legislation vould then be very simple. "Without such treaties the exclusion of Chinese by peaceful means is an undertaking of great magnitude, owing to the practical impossibility of policing the thousands of miles of boundary line. Tne Morrow and other bills, Mr. Coon declares, are defective in that they provide for the return of Chinamen to the country from whence they came. Even the children know that a Chinaman returned to Mexico will be eating his breakfast in the United States the next day. SOUR OK THE TARIFF BEX.

TO PROTECT EMPLOYES. SENATORS CONSIDERING SAFETY BRAKES AND COUPLERS, Railroad OtUelntt Enter n Trotest Against ConrM Taking Any Action Th Cor- pormlann Will Helve ibo Problem Them rlvrn If Given ibn Time Waiwinoton, May H. A number of prominent railroad men were berore Hie Senate Committee ou Commerce to-day to express their views upon the several bills referred to it intended to compel railroad companies to equip their freight cars with power brakes and automatic couplers. George B. Roberts, President of the Penn sylvania Railroad, was the first speaker or witness. He protested against the adoption or any legislation upon the sublect Theodore N. Ely, General Superintendent of Motive Power on the Pennsylvania Kail road, followed President Roberts. He said that if the principles contained in the bills were enacted into a law it would not neces sarily be an improvement on the present condition of things, for the reason that some roads might adopt brakes and couplers filling the requirements of the Saw, which are more dangerous than the link nnd pin and handbrake. To-day the New England Railroad CInb is advocating the adop tion of Safford's drawbar discarded by the Pennsylvania Railroad IS years ago as dangerous. The best type of automatic coupler, Mr. Ely said, was better than the link and pin coupler, but most of them were dangerous. Mr. Ely slid that the establish ment of Board ot Inspectors attached to the Interstate Commerce Commission whose rec ommendations shall be followed was the heU solution of this question. He felt satis fied such a board would recommend that the railroads be left alone to work out the problem as they are now doing. W. C. Brown, General Superintendent of the Burlington's line in Iowa and Missnuri, stated that every engine on that road was equipped with power brakes, and 6,000 freight cars. The company appropriated $400,000 to extend that equipment this year, which sum would put brakes and couplers on 6,066 cars. He opposed any legislation on the subject as useless. If tho bill authorizing the President to appoint a commission to select the best types of coupler and brake to be attached to all cars used in inter-State traffio were passed, its first effect would be to stop all progress in the direction of equipping freight cars. The Chicago, Burlington and Qoincy, for instance, he said, could not afford to expend $400,000 or any other snm in the purchase of couplers that might be condemned. There are roads in the North west which conld not possibly com ply with the requirements of tho law, and they would be either driven into bankruptcy or compelled to sus pend operations. If any legislation is to be adopted, Mr. Brown said, it should be to give efiect to the recommendations of the Master Car Builders' Association, for no body of experts could possibly be as well equipped as they to lurnish practical sugges tions to railroads.

Speaker Reed has declared war on Clara Morris, the fa mous old crazy woman who sells relics and photographs in the main corridor of the Capitol building, and upon all the other hucksters who have for several years used the Capitol for business purposes free of rent An order will be issued to morrow for the removal ot Clara and her neighbor, "Jennie, the pie woman," from their present desirable quarters. They will be given the option of locating in some retired nook in the basement or leaving the building alto gether. The floor space now occupied by the counters of these worthy women will be utilized for the telegraph offices, that now form an obstruction to the corridor in the immediate vicinity ot the main door of the House of Representatives. It was uecessarv to remove the telegraph office and the only place left for them was the space occupied by Clara Morris and her friend, Jennie. Both ot these women are well-known characters of the capital and thev will be sadly missed.

Four Indecisive Ballots Taken In the Ken tucky Senatorial Can con. Louisville, May 14. The Democratic caucus at Frankfort to-night met and at once proceeded to balloting. Only six names were acted upon. Bnckner, Mc Kinzie and Reeves were left out entirely. Four ballots were taken with the following results: First Carlisle. 34: McCreary, 10; Lindsay. 20; Knott. 27; Moore, 12; Settle, A Second Carlisle. 32: McCroarr, 12; Lindsay, 27; Knott. 24; Moore. 12; Settle, 7.

Evan Settle, the sixth man in the race, is a popular member of the Lower House of the Legislature, coming from Owenton. He is one of the leading orators ot the State. The result of the balloting to-night has no special bearing. It shows a gain for Carlisle and Lindsay at the close, but hardly enough to base any calculations upon. Carlisle is undoubtedly stronger and his men are in a mood to tush the contest to a close.

It consisted of 140 Swedes and Danes, about half of whom are women. They 'were In charge of Missionary Adolph Anderson nnd four Mormon eiders. Chief Contract Labor In spector Mulholland questioned the mis sionary with the object of finding out whether or not his converts might not be prevented from landing under the contract labor law. The missionary did not at first understand the purpose of Mr. Mulholland, and answered warily. He admitted that all of tho party had been assured that they would find employment, but that this employment was not actually awaiting them. Their relatives and friends, the missionary said, after he had fully caught on to the chief inspector's scheme, had guaranteed to give them work. They were permitted to land nnd tooK a steamerto Norfolk whence they will go West by way flY the ChesaDeake and Ohio Railroad. They will be investigated again at their destina tion. If it is found that they came un der contract to work there they will be re turned to their homes in Sweden and Den mark. Mr. Mulholland was opt in Utah last fall looking into the subject of Mormon immigration, and he says he then be came persuaded that the influx of Mormons recruited from the gullible peasantry of the Scandinavian pen insula could be stopped to some cxteutbytheapplicationof the contract labor law. lie thinks that there is little donbt that nearly all the Mormon immigrants enter into a verbal contract with the missionary, who promises them employ ment in the new world. The recent decision of" Judge Lacnmbe, Mr. Mulholland thinks, gives the Collector power to bar immigrants who come here even under an implied con tract. Over 900 Mormon converts landed at this port last year. The next batch will be detained, and Mr. Mulholland will force the accompanying missionary to appeal to the United States Circuit Court to get a de cision in the matter. A DAY'S ACCIDENTS.

Judge Fitzgerald handed down a decision in General Sessions to-day as to the demurrer to-the indictment against John J. Sullivan, charged with keeping a room in this city for the reception of money to be taken to the race track and bet upon the races. Lawyer Howe argued that Sullivan in doing this did only what an express company or any other common carrier could lawfully do .under a decision of a former Judge of the General teutons. He also contended in support of the demurrer, that the Ives pool law, under which . the indictment was framed, was unconstitutional. In his de cision JndgeFitzgerald overrules the de murrer, and holds that the Ives pool law is unconstitutional. Mr. Goff said to-day that he wonld at otfee press Sullivan's case to trial, so that if there should be a conviction the entire question of betting on horse races in this State micht be finally settled by the Court of Appeals; A MISSISSIPPI MOB OUTDONE.

Strong arguments In favor of Increased armaments were advanced in the Eelchitag yesterday by the military contingent, but met with some opposition. The Parnellltes took advantage ol a Governmental lapse and advanced the Irish agricultural labor ers' bill. Berlin, May 14. During the debate in the Reichstag to-day on the military bill, General Verdy Du Vernols, Minister of War, explained the provisions of the meas ure, and addressed the Hcuse in its support kHe urged that Germany should keep pace with the other powers, and reorganize her nrmy. He pointed ont that the work-of re organization required . time, and that tho army could not suddenly be placed on a proper level. Field Marshal Count Von Moltke also spoke in support of the bill. The European situation, he said, is always growing more difficult. It is imperative that Germany should- have a strong military system. A strong government will alone be able to maintain peace. Despite the pacifying as surances of foreign powers, Germany must herself provide for her own security. He believed that all the powers are peacefully disposed, but securitv can only be attained by Germany's own efforts. There is no one who does not hesitate to throw a match into the powder barrel. PREPARED FOR PEACE. The better the army is organized, and the more prepared it is for war thl more would other powers be inclined to maintain peace. Of course, he continued, the maintenance of the army on a war footing demands the expenditure of largo amounts of money. But the country should not hesitate to ex pend whatover'sums may be necessary. The point to be carefully considered is this: If we economize in our war expenditures tho most brilliant financial situation that wo mav be able to create will not insure the" exclusion of our enemies from Fatherland. Count Von Moltke deolared that the days of war waged by Cabinets are past. The elements that now threaten peace are found among the people. The cupidity ot the classes less favored by fortune- at home, and their occasional attempts to ob tain a rapid improvement of their condition by forcible measures abroad these dangerous elements are producing everywhere discontent and may at any moment precipitate n war even against the will of the Government. For a Government not strong enough to op pose the passions of the people and the en deavors of parties constitutes a permanent danger oi war. A CONSTANT MENACE. When the war that for the past decade has hung like Damocles' sword over our heads at last breaks out its duration no one will be able to foresee. The mightiest powers, armed as tbey never were before, will be engaged. Nor can either of them be so completely overthrown in one or two campaigns as to admit itself vanquished, and conclude a peace on bard terms, or as unable to renew the struggle after the lapse of a year. It might be a seven years' war or even a 30 years' war. Woe to him who sets the match. Herr Bichter, the leader of the Progressist Liberals, said that while the preamble to the bill justified the measure by a reference to the increase of the peace effective of the French army, the House ought to consider that this increase in France was accompanied by a reduction in the time of service to two years. He was of the opinion that a two years compulsory term of service in the German army would also be sufficient for the interests of the Empire. opinions or their own. He maintained that the Beichstag ought to form its own views and not form a decis ion based on the views of two prominent military officers. General Verdy Du Vernols replied that the Government, when asking for previous credits, had never maintained that the in crease then demanded was final. Dr. Windthorst moved to appoint a com mittee to consider the annual fixing of the peace footing nnd the shortening ot the term of military service. The Minister of War replied that the Federal Governments were preparing a bill to reorganize the army, and that a chance would be afforded in the near future to dis cuss the subject of shorter service. For the present, he said, the Government wonld make no concessions. THE CDTE PAKNELLITES SNATCH A VICTORY FROM CONSERVATIVES.

In the House of Com mons this afternoon Mr. Joseph Francis Fox, member for the Tullamore division of Kings county, a Nationalist, moved the sec ond reading of the Irish agricultural labor ers' bill. The bill proposes the use of the church surplus to assist in the erection of laborers cottages. Mr. Johnston, Conservative member for South Belfast, moved the rejection of the bill on the ground that the surplus was not sufficient to cover the charges of the land bill and the laborers' bill. The Kt. Hon. David Plunket, accused the Parnellltes of trying to snatch a division. He stid they had assembled in fnll force at a time when the bulk of the members were absent in order to get the bill read the second time. The ob ject of this was- to destroy the laborers' clauses in the land bill. He reminded the house that Mr. Dillon bad protested against the appropriation of the Church surplus in the land bill as being a purely Irish fund which he wanted for edu cational liurnoses when home rule was ob tained. v Yet, here were the Parnellltes pro nosing to devote the surplus to the building of laborers' houses. Mr. Balfour charted the Parnellites with introducing the measure through a mere de sire to embarrass the Government, The member who had moved the second reading of the bill and the member who had sec onded the motion had taken up be tween them only, ten minutes. Their con duct was nnmistakeable. They did not mean to obtain advantages for the laborers, bnt to the injure the land bill. The conditions under which the bill had been debated would deprive any vote that the House might come to of all significance. What ever was the decision the Government would attach to it no importance. The second reading of the bill was agreed to without a division, amid prolonged Irish cheers. The defeat of the Government was dne to a blunder of the Conserva tive leaders, who notified the members of the Government party that their presence would be required at 4 o'clock.

The tribulations of the flcket dispensers at the Union depot are many. Here is an example. Two Chinamen walked up to the P. B. B. window last evening. One of them focusied the alert distributor behind the grating and gave utterance to something like this: "Gillee loun easlillee." "How?" said the clerk. "Gillee loun ikee easlillee." "Say that again." "Easlillee two side." "Lillibullerol two sidel "Where do you want to go anyhowl" cried the puzzled ticket dispenser, who beheld the rapidly in creasing number of passengers who awaited the exodus of the Celestials. "Me-easlillery two side two side." said the Chinaman, making strffnous efforts to insert himself through the grating in his excitement "Now I have you. Bound ticket, East Liberty, 25 cents." Tho ticket was banded over. The selling went on. "1,000 mile book, please." "Lower window." "How soon will the depot lcave7" ' "Eh?" "I mean the next train for the East." "Eight ten." "Gillee loun ikee easiollee," once more from the Mongolian. "Gave you one Just now. Go away, please." "Gillee loun ikee easlcllee,'' again mum bled he of tho pigtail, lugging forward his companion. Oh, you want another. Twenty-five cents. The Chinamen were now satisfied and de parted. "Ticket for Columbns." "Next window." "Give me a ticlcet for me'self and the buoy," said a ssndy, side whiskered, rubi cund man who was followed up closely by a woman. "Where do you want to go to?" "To New York. Where else?" "Where's the boy?" "There's no boy. It's me wife." "Well, yonr wife can't travel on a boy's ticket." "Dye hear that, Molly? He savs ye can't thravel as a boy. Well "Gimme two tickets for New York." Aud so the routine of ticket selling goes on, with more curious questions and absnrd remarks uttered at that window than many would suppose. A BOW TS THE CAMP.

There is serious trouble in the Philadelphia Brother hood club which may lead to its complete reorganization. The great fielder, James Fogarty, has resigned as captain and man ager, and quite a large block of the stock is for sale. Mr. Fogarty did not play with the team on Tuesday nor did he go to New York to-day. The probabilities now are that JMr. Fogarty will not play again with the Brotherhood club of this city. He certainly will not unless there is a change in the directorship as at present constituted, althouzh a three years' contract exist. Even the Board of Directors are not all ot one mind, and the feeling between them has become so bitter that one at least had declared his willingness to dispose of his large holdings of stock. The trouble originated when Fogarty, as captain, desired to have entire control ot the players. To this President Love de murred strongly, and Fogartv brought charges against him of ungentiemanly con duct. The matter is being investigated, but in the meantime Fogarty has resigned.

Amnilng Offers From llnlrlmonlal EtarOitlng lad Other Crank Miss Louise "Worcester, the devoted frleid of Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Lincoln, an interview with whom was published in The D ispatcii or short time since, has started on a trip around the world in the hope of meeting the exile. Miss "Worcester is in receipt of many amusing letters con taining offers of a very varied character. rsrzcuL tilxobam to tuk DisrATcn.i Birmingham, Ala., May 14. Miss Louise Worcester, who believes that John Wilkes Booth still lives, left last night for Paris. She will sail from New York in two Lweeks, and after spending the summer with a sister in Paris will go to Alexandria, Egypt, then to Palestine, Jerusalem, and on around the world, returning to the United States in eight or ten months. Several weeks ago The Dispatch pub lished a history of this remarkable woman and her reasons for believing that Wilkes Booth was not killed in Garrett's barn, as history would have the world believe. It was mentioned that she spent most of her time traveling over the world in the hope of meeting Booth in his exile. This explains, in a measure, her trip to Paris and around the world. In Paris she visits a sister from whom she has been separated many years, but the remainder of her journey is not made for pleasure. Since the publication in The Dispatch of the first correct history of Miss Worcester and ber story of Wilkes Booth your cor respondent has gained some additional in formation. This information accounts for her visit to Egypt. MAT BE THE WHITE PA8HA. Several years ago she was speaking to a friend oue day about Booth and telling her reasons for believing that he was not dead. "If he is living, where do yon suppose he is hiding?" asked her friend. "I do not know," she answered, after a moment's pause, "but he may be somewhere in Egypt or Africa, A fortune teller, or astrologist, told me once that Booth was in Alexandria, Egyot, but of course I place no reliance in that." When the newspapers of Europe and America were printing columns of news and conjecture about the mysterious "white Pasha" in Africa, Miss Worcester one day remarked to this same friend, "I believe that mysterious 'white Pasha' is Wilkes Booth. His love of adventure and daring spirit would naturally lead him on some such wild expedition if he was anywhere in that part of the world." Prom these statements it is a reasonable conclusion that she goes to Egypt and Africa with a vague idea that while journeying through those distant lands she may some where meet the "white Pasha" and find that he is really the man she dreams is still alive. Many amusing incidents have resulted from the. publication of Miss Worcester's story, and she declaresthat one ot her rea sons lor going abroad is to escape the no toriety it gave her. She has received hun dreds of letters from cranks all over the United States, some of them very amusing. One man in California wanted to marry her. He said.he was 60 years old, owned a vain able stock farm, had several thousand dol lars in bank, and, if Miss Worcester would consent to marry him, he would come at once .and make her his wife. BOMB NOVEL SUGGESTIONS. A preacher in Texas wanted her to build a mission church and call it "the Booth Chapel." He wrote that she conld not dis pose of her fortune to better advantage and could at the same time honor the memory of the man she loved. A New York 'for tuneteller wrote that be knew Booth was alive, he bad read it in the stars, and he was trying by the aid oi. the stars to learn where he was hiding. Once he had almost succeeded, but one of the stars in his com bination went wrong and he lost the trail. He was still at work, however, and wonld yet locate the missing assassin. A Chicago detective oilered to find Booth for 5,000 and expenses. He estimated that the expenses of the search wonld not exceed $2,000. The dime museum managers did not overlook Miss Worcester, and she re ceived a number of flattering offers to sit be side the fat boy and the living skeleton. The autograph fiends, too, were heard from by the score, and a few cranks with plenty of meney offered her large sums for letters or notes in the handwriting of Booth. An enterprising private detective in this city wrote to the War Department at Wash ington offering his services as a shadow to follow Miss Worcester on her trip around the world and it she met Booth to arrest him on the spot. His offer was not even replied to. Miss Worcester answered none of the let ters she received. DEVOTS SISTEB ALIVE. The Young Man Keceivea Word That HI Relative la Well. James A. Devoy, the young Irishman whose alleged death warning iroin another world was published last week in The Dis patch yesterday, received an answer to the cablegram of inquiry he had sent to his sister in Ireland. Miss Devoy cabled that she was in good health, thereby quieting her brother's strange fears. Devoy believes still that some evil will befall himsetf or his kin. Mrs. Hill, of Watson street, stated to a reporter last even ing that Devoy had left her honse on Mon day and betaken himself to other quarters. He stated that he considered the Watson street boarding house unlucky. Devoy has returned to work and is apparently all rigat in his head again. NEGLECTED HIS FAMILY.

The annual session of tho Allegheny Classes met in the Grace Reformed Church In Allegheny yesterday rooming. "Flatter ing reports were heard from all churches. Tho following delegates were elected to the General Synod to bo held at Lebanon, Pa., on tho 20tb Instant: Iter. H. Frugb, pastor of Grace Church; Her. J. E. Freeman, of Wllklnsburg; Elder John M, Conroy, of Pittsburg, and Elder Ellenberger, of Butler county, The greater part of the afternoon was taken up in a heated discussion of the affairs of the Zlon Reformed Church, Highland avenue, East End. The congregation of this church has been diyided for some time. Several differences as to the business affairs of the church gradually split the congrega tion into two factions."" The breach was widened in a dispnte over the formation of a new church, and one side displayed an antagonism toward the pastor, Rev. J. W. Miller, now of Chambersburg, that brought matters to open hostility. The trouble was taken before the Classes at its meeting last year, and it was there decided to dissolve the congregation. This was to allow the organization of two new congregations out of the two factions of the old. After the action had been taken, however, the majority side refused to abide by it, and would not dissolve the congregation and claimed the church'property. The minority had organized as the Highland Church, but this proceeding gave them no share of the church property. The other side had posses sion of the church and refused to open its doors, though Classes had arranged to supply them with ministers, Mr. Miller having left The trnstees locked the doors and refused t6 obey the order to open them. Duplicate keys for the locks were procured, but the trustees took the locks off. The matter stood at a standstill for a time. A temporary, truce was declared, and yester day the matter came again before the Classes. ' It was suggested that the trustees who had refused to obey the order of Classes should be brought up fdr trial and made an exam ple of. The discussion, however, showed that the minority party would likely co into the new congregation of St. Mark's Re formed Church on Highland avenue, about to be organized, and that the other side, if Classes would consent, would sell the old property and build a new church at Tor rence. As this was an amicable way of settling all differences, it was finally decided to allow it, and to make matters clear the former action of dissolving the Zion con gregation and organizing the Highland con gregation was annulled. The vote on this stood 17 ayes and i noes. Addresses were delivered last night by 'Rex. H. D. Darbatcs. of McKeeport; Rev. J. S. Freeman, or Wllklnsburg; Rev. G. M. Harisb, ot Butler, and Rev.

The Braddock Accommodation had just pulled in from the side track on a return trip to the city and was given the signal to go back, to let the Altoona Accom modation, which was late, pass. Just as it was recrossing the tracks the Altoona Accommodation, loaded with emigrants, came thundering around the curve in the road. The engine of the latter plunged into the rear coach of the Braddock train which was empty. Nothing but the tender was notice able after the crash. The front coach of the Braddock Accommodation was telescoped and lies upon the bank near the tracks. The rear coach caught fire from the engine, and but for the timely assistance of Brad dock's citizens would have been burned. Fortunately nobody was injured but the en gineer, C. Wilson. The fireman had a nar row escape by jumping. The accident is blamed on the flagman of the Braddock train, who is said was not at his post of duty when it occurred. OPPOSED TO THE WIDENING. Wllklnsbnrs; People Think It Would bo Better to Fave Wood Street. The ordinance providing for the widen ing of Wood street. WilHnsburg, from Hill street to the borough line, has provoked a great deal of talk among the property-holders adjacent The general feeling is against the change. One gentleman re marked to a Dispatch reporter last even ing: "Wood street is wide enough for all practical purposes. Instead of making it ten feet wider, it wonld be better if Coun cils would hurry the paving of it. It is nothing bnt a mud hole at present, and is, in fact, almost imnassable for vehicles. When Wood street is paved it will be time enough to think about widening it. ' Poetleiralte Denies It. Director Postlewaite, of the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railroad, passed through the Union depot yesterday morn ing on his way to New York. He -denied that his road had been sold to tbe P. R.

The Conference of Charities and Conic-,, tlon is in annual session at Baltimore. The great work accomplished at Johnstown after tho flood will be the subject of several ad dresses. tSrXCIAI, TBLBOBAB TO TITZ SISFATGB.1 Bamimoke, May 14. To-night a brill iant audience assembled at Lehman's Hall' for the opening session of the seventeenth annual conference of Charities ana Correc tion. Distinguished people from all parts'" of the country, of all shades and politics.' and religion, and the literary and p?o fessional men of Baltimore were present. The room was filled when Mayor Davidson. ' began his short speech of welcome. He was followed by Charles J. Bonaparte, who fi.a... member of the local society. He paid aa -eloqu ent tribute to tbe work of the confer ence. Following him came one of tbe most im portant events of the meeting, the' annual' address of the President, Dr. A. G. Byer ; of Ohio, who has been a member of tha ' body since its earliest days, and has attend ed every meeting except two. He fs about 70 years old. Since early manhood he haa taken an interest in charitable affairs, and particularly the abolition of cruel punish ment in State prisons. He has been Secre tary of the Ohio State Board of Charities' from the time of its organization, in 1863, until the present. , a vigorous address. At the last session of the conference he was unanimously elected President. Hbt . address to-night was bright and vigorous. ; He gave a review of the work before this conference, two tpoints being emphasized, the charitable work at Johnstown, Lynn and Louisville and the advance in prison, reform. Thero' were parts of the address: that caused the delesates to listen with un usual attention. He said the conference had no legislative or executive powers. No compensation is derived from its servics and no motive can be assigned for its exist ence beyond a philantrophio desire to help humanity. Alter wittily explaining why politicians were not interested in it Dr. Byers proceeded to the part of the address that caused the most comment. It was al follows: If we direct the question to ecclesiastical. . organization tbe result would be but little dif ferent, for the modern church is occnpled wittt tbe discussion of beliefs, with just projects for captlratlnc tho eye and ear ot tbe world, with diligent effort and liberal contributions for en tering the city of the Samaritans and for going into the way ot tbe Gentiles ratber tban for beginning at home. The utmost ambition Is manifested to secure popnlar preaching, but' comparatively little attention Is given to heal ing tbe sick, cleansing tbe lepers or raisins; tba dead. There Is one exception to this rule.lt applied to far-away conditions of human degra dation and suffering. India is to-day attracting far more attention tban Indiana, and yet in vestigations made and reported to this confer.'' ence within tbe past three years by Mr. AlcCul loch indicate conditions of social degradation and bnman depravity tbat conld scarcely bo surpassed in pagan lands or among savagei tribes. NOT PARTICULARLY BAD, ",' " I trust I shall not be understood asjialdlpfl. forth Indiana as worse than other communi ties. Tbe reference is made simply because! tbe facts had been ascertained and set forth. It may be possible tbat wben these moral and social conditions can be seen they baffle hope. Shorn .of tbe power of miracles, witb which thai early cbnreh was invested, modern Christianity hesitates to encounter a failure tbat micht dis- -credit its faith. Is it not true, however, tbat -tho Christian Churcb is possessed of material resources, which, if applied to tbe amelioration ' of human suffering, beginning at home, wbera results can be seen, wonld produce such effects that moral convictions of gospel truth would bo wrought beyond tbat which miracles could ao complish. Now just such sayings as these sonnd like in veighing against the Cbnreh. Let me entreat yon to put such thoughts far from you. Forms and creeds and ceremonies have always been grounds for contention or subjects for criti cism, wbile against tbe spirit" of tbe gospel, constituting tbe very soul of tbe Churcb, no argument can be framed. Tbis spirit as incul cated by Jesus Christ in the inimitable story ot tbe good Samaritan must commend itself to the conscience of tbe world. It is tbe practical recognition of this Spirit which bas brougbs ' together tbis conference, representing all tba varying creeds and diverse beliefs, every polit ical nartv. social orders and individual benevo- Llence. and enables them to go forward with its work witbout discord or any Kind at any time. It may seem Pharisaical to say tbat this spirit, or something akin to it, actuates tbis confer ence. THE PLANS LAID OUT. There were other brief informal talks fol lowing that of the President, and then tha delegates adjourned to a collation m the gymnasium of tbe Johns Hopkins Univer sity. There will be two sessions daily dur ing the conference. To-morrow the reports on States, on prison and prisondiscipline,' on prisoners and on industries for reform schools will be presented. Some of tha papers to be read are as follows: "Tha Work of Relief at Johnstown, Pa.," by Rev. C. N. Field, S. S. J. E., Philadelphia;' "The Need and Advantages of Organized Charitv in Emergencies, as Exemplified by the Johnstown Disaster," by L. S. Emery,"" Washington, D. C. Each year has shown a large growth is tbe organization's membership and work. The conference had its origin in the Boards' of Charity of New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio and other States in this section of the country. A correspondence between the different'boards resulted in tha call lor a meeting in New York to concen trate the efforts of the various boards upon a reform in the methods of giving charity. The conference allied itself to the American Social Science Association. Twelve years ago the conference severed its connection with the American Social Science Associa- -tion and reorganized as the 'National G5n- . ference of Charities and Correction. It then included for the first time in the scope of its work prison reform, as well" as , charity. One of the first and what is still regarded as one of the most important . works of the organization was to bava a law passed in New York taking the chil dren out of the jails and almshouses. Tha same law was passed in other States and the work of the conference in all directions -has gone steadily forward. TO STOP HTDTJCTIOff.
