Gray, delivered an ; address before 300 Methodist cler gymen in Chicago recently and among other things said: "Investigation touching the typi cal manufacturing cities of the U. S., shows that church neglect of the poorer classes is rapidly increasing. The poor uro greater in number than the well to do clasp, yet but few are in the wealthier and strong er Protestant churches. If they were they would learn of each other's wants, they would assist each other, and a desire to work j would be met by opportunity. We fear that many of our wealthier churches have practically signed.a release to the devil of all interest hi the poor of the community. If the church was doing its duty toward the working classes there would be fewer poor in the world. If the working classes were converted the unemplo} r ed as a class would cease. It is possible—nay, we may say probable—if the church was as earnest and spent as much money to save the poorer classes as to save the wealthier classes, the problem of the unemployed would need no solution." GENERAL NEWS. The Norfolk and Western rail road lias been placed in the hands of a receiver. Both Houses of the legis lature adopted a woman suffrage amendment to the Constitution. The bill for the construction, of a cable to the Hawaiian Islands has passed tin* United States Sv,n ate tacked to an appropriation bill. The corner-stone of the monu ment to L. L, Polk, the first Presi dent of the National Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union, was laid on Thursday at his grave in Oak wood Cemetery, at IlalHgh, N. C. I'uiKMl States .Judges A. J. liicks and William A. Woods, (the latter of "Blocks of Five" whitewashing notoriety) have again soiled the judicial ermine, by appointing as receiver of the "Clover Leaf" route railroad, the notorious bank wreck er, R. ]J. Pierce, now under in dictment 011 nine counts by a Fed oral Grand Jury in the IT.1 T . 8. court at Indianapolis, for conspiracy to wreck a national bank. Great is our Federal Judiciary. Xoone was surprised when a ma jority of the Senate committee on Privileges and Elections made an adverse report on the joint resolu tion providing for a constitutional amendment for the election of Sen ators by direct vote of the people, as the sentiments of the members of the committee 011 this subject were fairly well known. There were two minority reports, one in favor of the resolution, signed by Senators Turpie, Palmer and Mitch ell, of Oregon, and one favoring leaving the matter to be settled by each State, signed by Senator Dan iel. There are many rumors connect ing the Huntington lobby with the action of the House Pacific Kail roads committee iu deciding to a gain report the Keilly Pacific Rail roads funding bill, which the House once repudiated by sending it back to the committee. Accompanying the bill is the proposition from the reorganization cominitteo of capi talists, that the government accept a cash payment equal to the prin cipal of the indebtedness of the railroads iu full for all its claims a gainst theui. It may be a vile slander on Congress to say that some of its members are working or trying to work the lobby on this question, but all tlie same it is be ing said quite frequently. , Lancaster mills in Mass., have reduced the wages of the 3,000 meu and women employed. The ' 'Drummers' Baggage" bill authorizing railroads to sell 5,000- mile tickets, has been signed by the President.

I There is little probability that an investigation will be ordered at this session, but there will be an investigation ordered by the next session, and it will extend to half a dozen States. There is much excitement in Congress on account of the meth od by which the contemplated is sue of bonds were sold, and Mr. Cleveland is catching it all around, particularly since Carlisle pledged the members of the House commit tee on Ways and Means to secrecy before acquainting them with the nature of the contract made with the European syndicate which purchased the bonds, and then on ly gave them a verbal statement of the contract, instead of submitting the original signed document as the members expected. This contract, which the Senate forced the publi cation of, is an extraordinary docu ment. It is known that the price paid for the bonds will enable the syndicate to make a protit ot 8 per cent, which is exorbitant, and the terms of this contract gives them the right to take all other bonds that may be issued between this time and the first of next October.
