tha fact that it U the eve of the reaeinbling

Pre to-d.iy thit the bill de

Mder'itum by the House. He ha- assurance
fro:u SviiaioM th'.t Iho bills on thin subject
which have pa.-.-fd the House and are now
waiting action by the Stnate, will receive
prompt attention. The House committee
di-portd of ix of the.-e bill.,
and about ix more, pome
of which are nnv on the House Calen
dar, remain to be acb-d upon. Senator Hill,
of (Vhradv, will urge the early consideration
of the poual-K-.eg! a;h bill, winch was re
ported during tht lirt es-ion by the Com
mittee on I'o.-totlice.s, and i'ost Routes. The
Siupirtrs of this measure claim that it has
gained many frn-nds during the recess, and
that, if tai.u up, i; will be favorably considered-
Although sure to draw a lare crowd of
spectator- ilvu is usually less of interest in
the House uf liepresentaiive.s on the open
ing day of th second session than on al
most any otht-r day of the Session. Aside
from mutual greetings, chafhng anions
members, congratulations, or regrets on re
ehction. or defeat, as the cao maybe,
there is but little of personal interest, and
there is hss of general interest
connected with the opening of the session.
The old oliicers take their positions and
members drop into the old neatd at the fall
of ttie gavel. Th Oh apLdnouVra his famil
iar prater, and the Speaker direct the roll
of members to be called by states. A quo
rum h iviug r. spoadrd, a committee is ap
pointed to join a like committee of the Sen
ate to inform the President that the two
Iiouhs aru ready for business. Whatever
takes place at the interview, the reiort goes
on record that the committee discharged its
duty "and the President replied that he
would communicate in writing." Then
comes the President's message by his
private secretary. It is read by the clerk at
the dt -k, but a small percentage of the mem
bers paying any attention to it. Adjourn
mt nt'oon follows, and Congress is out of
dry-dock and ready for the three-months
cruise before it.
Tht re have been two deaths in the House
since its adjournment, those were Messrs.
Kvins. of South Carolina, and Duncan, of
Pe nnsjlvania. These deaths will probably
be announced to-morrow after the reading
of the message, and an adjournment will be
made as a formal mark of respect to de
ceased members. What line of legislation
the House will first enter upon is very un
certain. There are a number of special
orders that came over from last session to
be pas-ed by thur special friends. Cobb
(Ind.) insists that the recent election
was on rdorsoment of the policy
of land-grant forfeiture and will urge
his measures. Mr. Thompson (Ky.)
desires to illuminate, his three remaining
months of Congressional life by the passage
of his bill to iUQpiul the Thnrman Pacific
Hailway act. Mr. Singleton (Miss.) will
push his bill for a now Congressional library
buildiug. Pesides these there are a large
nnmler of bills for public buildings,
which, were made a special order under the
control of the chairman of the Committee
on lublic Iiuildings and Grounds, so that
Congress need not be idle for want of work,
to say nothing of tho thousand and upwards
of bills on the several calendars. Tho Appro
priation committee claim the right of way
for bills as fit r.s reported. They exrect to
have the naval, pension, and Military
Academy bills rendy before the close of the
ek. Quift elTorts are being made by
friend of tho New Orleans exposition to
secure a reccs by both Homes on the 13th,
that tho members may atterd the opening of
the exposition, but the general feeling among
tho-e memlr who had been sen docs not
seem to favor it. and it is doubtful if the pro
position will fuC favor with a majority.
Electricity in the Senate.
Was;iiotov, Nov. HO. Every committee
room of thf St nate has bee n supplied with
an electric 1 11, which is rung by a touch
ui on a button in the Senate charnlor. The
sound of the bell at any time during the ses
sions of th senate will be a summons to sen
t r in the committee rooms to appear in
the senate chamber. Under the old lan,
wh- n a r oli-call cun up or any business de
manding the presence of senators, pages
h-ul to b. ent in search of those not in the
chamber. Now, by a touch, a ringing sum
t:i u-. wi'l b sounded iu the committee
room, restaurant and marble room, which
will notify s'n i?ts that thiy are wanted in
th' ch. uriber. W!n Mr. Clay wa speaker
of the l:o'ise had Ixdls arranpd for the
same p:irp"s. but, as rl-'Ctricity was not
th; t known a -vfi a uWal arnt, t!i bell

house.

THE POPE'S APPOINTMENTS.
Archbishop Gibbons F?eported to Have
Been Made a Cardinal.
IiALTitfoiiE. Nov. 'M. Considerable com
ment is caused among the Catholics to-day
by the alleged special cablegram from Home,
w hich was published in one of the morning
papers to die effect tluit Archbishop Gib
bons had been honored by his Holiness,
Pot Leo XIII, by being created Cardinal.
While the laity are jubulant and excited over
the announcement, the Venerable prelates of
the Plenary Council remain as quiet and
composed as usual, and pay but little atten
tion to the report. Ever eince the cable of
two weeks ago was received from liome,
stating that eight new cardinals had been
created, while the nameiof but .seven were
given, it has been the hopo and belief of
Baltimore Catholic that the other was the
bishop of the province of IJaltimore. The
cablegram of to-day state that the' reason
for tb,e Pope's withholding the announce
ment of the name of Archbishop Gibbutis as
Cardinal is because his Holiness wishes to
await the cloingof the Plenary Council now
being held in this city, to enable U
brother prelates to satisfy them
selves as to the fitness of Archbishop
Gibbons for the honor. On this point an
eminent tht ologian said to-day, "The pre
lates of the Plenary Council liave no power
or right to say whether or not any choice of
the Pope's suits them." Bishop Ireland, of
St. Paul, said he would not be surprised
if the red hat were conferred on Archbishop
Gibbons, but that the Council had nothing
to do with it.
Pontificial high mass was celebrated at the
cathedral this morning by Bishop Loughlin,
of Brooklyn, with Bevs. Policy and McKin.
us deacons. The prelates were robed in pur
ple vestments during mass and wore red
vestments during the solemn service of
Conncil, which followed. A sermon was
preached by Bishop Hennessy, of Dubuque,
on "The Sancity of the Church." He said,
it is not meant that all the men of
the church are holy. The society of the
church is composed of good and bad, sin
ner ami saints. The misdeeds of sinucrs
aro their own. The church has no part in
them. The degrees of sanctity are numer
ous and dilTer from each other as the sta-s
iu the firmament do iu brilliancy. Sancity
is that by which the church proclaims to the
earth its heavenly origin. God gave it the
world as a field of labor and sent his Spirit
to abide with it forever. He gave to it sac
raments to offer np for the sins
of her people, and delegated his min
isters to teach men obedience,
The Catholic Church claims the gift "of in
fallibility and defies the world to point to
one doctrine that she has ever changed one
iota. Tho Christianized and couverted
Europe and her labors since that day have
met with no greater obstacle than that of
the man who told tho heathen that the
church had more Christs than they had Gods.
The Bishop cited the work of the priests and
Sisters of Charity as also affirming the
sancitity of the church.
After the sermon a solemn session of the
Council was held, at whicli the work accom
plished during the week was voted upon and
confirmed. After vespers this evening
Bishop Ireland, of Minnesota, lectured on
the temperance question. The Council will
be closed on next Sunday. One week later
than was expected with impressive ceremonies.
A PHILADELPHIA FIGHT.
Jack Dempsey and Mike Mallon Fight
it Out in Two Rounds.
Philadelphia, Nov. VQ. At an early hour
this morning, in the presence of a select
number of spectators, Jack Dempsey and
Mike Mallon came together in a glove con
test, which ended by Dempsey knocking his
opponent out in two rounds. They fought
with small gloves, Marquis Queeusbury rules,
for a pursoof $150 and gate receipts. Mal
lon lately won tho light-weight champion
ship and has met and van
quished some very clever men.
the mill took place in a well-known sport
ing house in the eastern part of the city. The
first round ended entirely injhe New York
er's favor. In the second round Mallon was
a little shaken, and Dempsey began slugging.
He punished Mallon terribly, ending t! e
round by knocking him all in aheap. When
the referee ordered the men up for a third
round, Mallon was unable to coma to time.
Dempsey took the money.

EXAGGERATED REPORTS.
BITTERLY UNFAIR TO MINERS.
Intense Hunger and Suffering; Prevails,
But There is no Revolt and no
Plan for One Foreshadowed.
PiTTaiiUioj, Nov. u0. Speaking , of the
situation in Hocking Valley, a staff corres
pondent of the Times, who is on the ground
investigating the strike, Bays : "During my
brief stay in New Straitsville, I have clearly
ascertained that reports of the situation here,
as wired throughout the country, have
generally been sent from Columbus, Ohio.
These reports have, as a rule, been
exaggerated, or altogether false. They
are furnished to various correa-
frpendents who have never been out
side, of Columbus, by friends of the oper
ators. That is just as unfair to the miners
and tho reading public as a one-irided report
in favor of the miners would be to the pub
lic and operators. Some of the Columbus
papers daily publish statements bitterly un
fair to the miners in that almost every little
thing transpiring has been magnified into
ridiculous dimensions." After citiDg numer
ous instances of gros3 exaggeration, the cor
respondent continues: 'There is no cause
for great alarm, while I do not iy there has
been no occasion whatever for alarm,
I am confident that there is not such an
alarming state of anarchy prevailing in this
great coal bearing region as has been re
ported. There is hunger and suffering in
tense enough to create a fearful and savage
rtvolt, but I deny that any general plan of
revolt has been foreshadowed by the strik
ers. It is most certain th a few words of in
telligent and gentlemanly advice would have
a better effect than the presence of the whole
Pinkertou force, which, under the present
circumstances, is but an incitement to rebel
lion. In Straitsville, a town of about 3000
inhabitants, there aro six of these detectives
is but foolishness to suppose that there was
any desire to kill anyone, or to engage in
not. The presence of but six men among so
great a number of strikers cause no hesita
tion, for a bitterer fight between capital and
labor never took place. This strike means
the almost certain death of the monied coal
and iron syndicate or the death of trades
unionism in the Hocking Valley." After
giving a history of the syndicate the corres
pondent says: "It is the offspring of, a gi
gantic but comparatively untried body, now
deceased, viz., the well-known Standard
Coal and Iron Company, with which it
is commonly reported Blaine was
connected. The pretensions of this body,
with its $75,0(X),(XJ capital, were enormous
during the depression in coal trade in 1881.
'82, and secured the control of the entire
system of miues in Hocking Valley by a per
forated consolidation with various corpora
tions, then struggling for existence in that
district, with the present syndicate in March,
18SU. 'I he principal members of which are:
Gen. 'Thomas K. Buchtel, Walter Craft, L.
Longstreth, II. D. Tworly, and Messrs.
Moss and Marshall. Their failure to
realize their .expectations in securing
control of the entire lake market,
and being denied similar power over other
places, prices went down and the only hope
they had of continuing operation was to re
duce the wages of the miners, which went
into effect the 21st of June last."
A special from Nelson ville says that about
thirty of the striking miners, at a meeting
last night, resolved to resume work to-morrow
at their employers' terms. A large mass
meeting of strikers will be held to-morrow
to discuss the situation. Several strikers at
Sand Bun mine also threatened to resume
work. The citizens of Nelsonville have is
sued a circular guaranteeing protection to
all desiring to return to work, no matter on
what terms. The circular also pledges pro
tection to all miners who may come here to
work at the reduced price. This also has
given great offense to the strikers, but there
is no sign whatever of a general break. The
fight among the "colored blacklegs," at
Buchtel, last night, resulted in the fatal
shooting in the head of one of their number.
A row which promised to be large one was
subdued by the Pinkerton guards.
New Yobk, Nov. iX). At a meeting of the
Central Labor Union to-day, donations
amounting to over $1,000 for the striking
Hocking Valley miners were reported. It
was announced that Sullivan had promised
to be present at the sparring benefit for the
strikers Tuesday night at Madison Square.
Several other well-known pugilists will take
part in the affair.
WARLIKE WOMEN.
Two of Them do Some Pretty Effec
tive Shooting.
New Orleans, Nov. SO. Jno. Logan, who
was shot last night by Georgiana Conway,
still lives at the hospital. He is in a critical
condition with little chance of recovery.
Investigation of the case shows that Logan
and Devonshire visited the girls at home
until a brother forbade them, and then in
duced them to leave home and live with
them. Tho girls say they led miserable
lives, and continually pleaded with the men
to marry them. Finally they returned home
both en ciento and determined to
kill their seducers. For several nights they
have promenaded Canal street looking for
the men. Walking np behind them last
night both girls drew revolvers and fired
simultaneously. Devonshire ran, when the
younger sister fired again, the bullet grazing
hi neck. Georgiana s bullet struck Logan
in the back, passing through the kidneys. A
struggle enned for the possession of the
weapon, and the girl fired again shattering
Logan's jaw, and he fell.
The girls were visited in prison to-day and
were found cool and collected. Josephine
expressed regret that her shots were not
more effective. They are very pretty brun
nettes, well educated and belong to a re
spectable family. James Conway, their
brother, was arrested to-day as accessory.

AMUSEMENTS.
Close of Patti Rosa's Engagement
'Lights o London" To-Night.
Patti Rosa closed her engagement at Red
mond's Saturday evening. The charming
little lady has appeared to better advantage
than ever before in Mizpah, and has made
such an impression here as will insure her a
kind reception here on future visits. She is
an ambitious, pains-taking actress, and will
continue to improve and grow in popular
favor just as she is enabled to get decent
material to advance with. No one deplores
the difficulty in securing a good, strong play
more than Miss Rosa herself. She is spar
ing no inducement to get such a drama, and
it is to be hoped that she will succeed.
"Lights o' Lojidou," which made such a
popular hit here last season, will open a
brief season to-aight with a strong company
and new scenery.
An exchange says: "In the company some
old friends are identified, and these gave
that pleasure which their appearance upon
the boards have always afforded. There
were, too, several new aspirants for public
favor, and last night's introduction must
have been quite satisfactory to them. The
play is full of the most interesting incidents
and scenes, comic and pathetic, while the
scenery is the most perfect and effective, and
tho company is composed of ladies and
gentlemen whose action and speech are those
of cultured people,' receiving evidences of
popularity in every act in which they ap
peared." "Siberia," which achieved such a success
in Chicago last week, a fact which insures
that both company and scenery are np to the
expectations created by the handsome lith
ographs and press notices follows "Lights
o' London" at Powers's for four nights.

Newibk, N. J., Nov. 30. Dr. F. Decastro

SOME 'SUNDAY SERVICES
LESSONS FROM THE PULPITS.
A Newly-Married Pastor Welcomed
Home ''Elements of Manliness"
i A Sermon on Doubt.
' Yesterday marked the second annivtrsary
of Rev. Marcus L. Bocher's pastorate of
Mission Wood Presbyterian Church. In
remembrance of this fact, and that it was
also to bo his first Sunday at home after a
; somewhat extendtxi trip with his etiinablt
bride throughout the East, his church and
congregation mad for him a most tender
and loving reception. The little chapel was
entirely transformed inside, the walls and
ceiling were !eautifuily tinted and papered,
and many rich fioral offerings and dcora
tions were arranged about the altar. Over
and just behind the desk was a framed motto
arranged from autumn flowers B, Welcome
Home." During the owning services the
pastor feelingly spoke of the happy surprise
and assured the congregation their tokens of
love for him and his were appreciated and
the love reciprocated.
Rev. Mr. Bocher read the fourth and fifth
chapters of Esther for his morning lesson
and took for his text Esther, V. 13 "Yet all
this nvaileth me nothing, f-o long as I
Moidecai the Jew silting at the king's pste,"
The story of Haman and Mordecai i famil
iar to everyone. Hainan grew in favor with
the king and was given promotions, granted
powers and received great riches and favored
distinctions was even the choser. one who
alone could enter Queen Esther's bsnauet.
With all these he was not happy, one thing
was f 11 wanting Mordecai at jn the king's
gate and had failed to recognize his great
ness, failed to reverence him. .Christian
churches have Mordecai sitting in their
doorways. Mord-:.!? obstruct the path and
ruin the happiness of individuals. There is
a single something to hinder full Christian
action and en d -nvor. Satan rejoices over
nothing more than he does over ihese little
stumbling blocks, little "if?," little Mcr
decais in the pathways of men. Vic
tory only comes when these obstacles
are surmounted. Hainan trusted in his
king and queen for the removal of Mordecai;
Christians should trust in the King of Kings
for the removal of theirs. The w hole dis
course was full of apt illustrations of how
trilles in the way have hindered great actions;
how trilles have affected lives of men, the
welfare of nations, etc. The pastor said
that two years ago, when he assumed the
pastorate of the church, Mission Wood had
but few members and the first congregation
numbered but forty-one people. Now there
is a strong society and the church is full.
He wished to begin the third year by help
ing earnestly to remove every hindrance,
every Mordecai that in anyway obstructed
their full and free efforts as a Christian
church, and he made an urgent plea for
unity of Christian endeavor, more charity
and that no discordant element might come
in to discourage and destroy any work for
good accomplished.
"Some Elements of Manliness."
This was the subject chosen by Rev. Chss.
Fluhrer !or his discourse last evening. The
text chosen was I Kings, II, 2. "Show thy
self a man." This was David's advice to his
son Solomon. It was the advice of age to
youth, the advice of experience to inexieri
ence. It is the greatest and most significant
sentence that can be spoken from man to
man. I look upon man's development in
this manner; that every individual carries
within himself the grandest possibilities to
which man may attain. There is the germ,
the nucleus which developed will form the
grandest possible man. To fhow oneself a
man .is to properly cultivate those mental
and moral germs the Creator has planted
within us. The age looks to the man, not
tho position he fills; to the jerson and his
character, not to the title or station. "I
consider I received the greatest compliment
of my life," said the speaker, "w hen, after
being cast out of an evangelical pyna
gogue in this city, I was referred to as 'that
man.' " Not all ministers are men in its
higher and broader sense. Young men are
to stand on their manhood. The ago re
quires of young men what they can show
out of themselves. It is a mistaken idea
that the highest measure of manhood is some
title or station, or the amount of wealth one
possesses. These things are well enough
when a man is greater than they. It is good
to gain wealth if manhood is not lost in
gaining it. ' An essential quality of manli
ness is genuineness. A vice of the age is
the desire to act like some one else, to ape
another's manners, to become an artificial
man. Better to wear your own true face,
disfigured though it le, than to ivarade in a
mask. Another characteristic is indcicudcnco.
I believe in deference to age, but believe as
well it i a serious thing for youth to bo
sacrificed on the altar of age. Exercise
independence of thought; act out your
independent conviction. A young man
who exercises what he in his deepest con
science believes to be true and right i far on
the way toward showing himsflf a man.
Another characteristic i humility. The
greatest men in hfttory have been the hum
blest Never !e so exalted you cannot come
down at times; never so set that you cannot
admit you are in the wrong. The b?d ap
pearing man is the one without self-consciousness.
The little girl walki acrws the
floor in her nnconecious grace and beauty,
never can she appear more beautiful. Age
cree p on apac, there comes the studied air
even the looking-glass is resorted to for iU
acquirement th beautiful child is trans
formed into a pr,d and sf-lf-conriou
woman. Think not of self; think of other.
Give your 11 th ".zhU, bet efforts, bet
energiest o mr.n U'; 1. Be n m an.
