His natlvo placo Is a quiet, small village in
Wales, and ho received tho greater part of
his excellent education under tho nuspicos of
one of tho Ioadlug church seminaries. His
one and wholo ambition seemed to bo work

mission, at Calcutta, India. Jlr. Kvans had

attempts. First, ho was landed on the Eock
of Gibraltar, whoro ho know not a soul, and
was seriously sick. Tho pcoplo wore kind to
him, though, and nursed him back to health.
Ho then returned to England, not having a
ponny wheu he stopped off tho boat. His
second attempt to reach India was intor-
miuglcd with many rough sea voyages, but
tho port was safely reached. Thero tho ele
ments again almost got tho bettor of tho
plucky young minister of tho gospel, for tho
glare of the sun and intense heat affected his
eyes, and ho almost beenmo blind. An opera
tion was porfornied, and ho regained his
sight. Ho was strongly advised to return to
England, and did so.
Wliilc in India ho saw and observed much
of the highest grado of rituals, and after his
return to England ho exposed ritualism in a
way that had not been known to Wales
before. From this point lie drifted to
America with a view of loarniug the people
and the ways of a new land. Tlio old desire
to do evangelistic work again took possession
of him, and he preached in many places as
far as Pittsburg. Finally ho permanently
located here. He is an eloquent talker, and
the Baptists are highly pleased with him as
their pastor. '

RAILROADERS' CONVENTION.
Tho r.ntherliiR of tlio Knight of tlio ltoad
at Hazleton Yesterday.
The union meeting of the Brotherhood of
Locomotivo Engineers, tho Brotherhood of
Firemen and tho Brotherhood of Eailroad
Trainmen, which took placo at Hazleton
yesterday, was very largely attended and
was a decided success.
At 10:30 in tlio morning a session was held
with closed doors, and very little was given
out for publication.
It was ascertained, however, that tho mat
ter of tho ro-instatcment of the men who
were leffidlo on the Hazleton division by
tlio late stViko was thoroughly discussed.
The striko agreement was to tho 'effect that
these men should be taken back, as tho op
portunity offered. It is now over two years
and many new men have been hired, whilo
tho domands of former employes iavo re
ceived but littlo attention from those iu au
thority. Thoy aro told that thero is nothing
against them, ktit they hdvc not the authority
to again employ them. It has been decided
to lay tho matter before President Wilbur
and ascertain why the employes of this
division aro discriminated against.
Tho aftcrnoou session was held with open
doors, and was addressed by a number of tho
state and national olllcers. F. W, Arnold, of
Peoria, 111., was tho principal speaker, and
after paying a tribute to the men interested
in tho striko two years ago, lie strongl yurged
a supremo federation of all railroad organiza
tions, which met tlio apptoval of those
presont.
A monster union meeting will bo held
eithor at Jlauch Chunk or Easton on May
