Br Telegraph to the Morning Scar. ' ' St. Louis, November 17. After the Bryan party bad dined last evening a stroll about the big station was at tempted, bat the news of tbeei-Preii- dential candidate's arrival had drawn a crowd of '4 000 people, who insisted Qpon a speech. Mr. Bryan was in a good humor, and without any prelimi nary began Co address those immediate' 1 about him. In part he said: ' The Democratic party is committed to silver and will continue to fight for it. The work must go on. We will all be better able four years from now to either indorse or to reverse tbe decision ren dered in the election. The more close ly we scrutinize legislation, the more we are aDt to have eood leeislation. Here tbe speaker was interrupted by cheerr and cries of "You are right. Resuming he said : "1 want to say one thing to you in conclusion, and that is that I am profoundly eiateiul to Mis - soun for the majority she rolled up for the cause. I am thankful to you for the maenificent reception you have tend ered me to night." Cheers, and cries of ' Bryan lor President in 1900." made it impossible for any one on the car to bear what was going on, and the multitude, increased by this time to fully 7,000. elbowed and crowded and pushed in effort to get to the great champion of the white metal, who stepped on the Dlatform and shook hands with all who cauld come within reach. There were many ladies in the crowd and whenever it was possible Mr. Bryan extended his hands to them over tbe surging mjs of men. Springfield, Mo., November 17. Wm. J. Btvan. Governor Stone.

COMPLETE COLLAPSE OF THE DEAL WITH THE RYAN SYNDICATE. A Signal Victory Lfot President Hcffman The MjMlty btookholdera Baluie to Fool Their Holdings TheD(al En tirely Off and the Si item Will Be Operated aa Heretofore A Promiairg Outlook (or the Future of the Company. ' By Telegraph to the Horning Star. BaXTlMORi, November , 17. The much-talked-about Seaboard Air Line deal -received a knock-out blow this afternoon when the committee which has some eight thousand shares of the stock pooled refused to turn it over to the syndicate headed by Mr. T. F. Ryan of New York. The decision was a great surprise to every one except President Hoffman and a few of his associates. It was a signal victory for the Seaboard president. When the arrangement was made at the Portsmouth meeting looking to a sale of a controlling interest in tbe Seaboard company, there were few who doubted its consummation The announcement this " evening that the deal was entirely off and that tbe road would hereafter be conducted as an independent line as heretofore was not at first credited. It was only after President Hoffman confirmed the state ment that it was generally believed. Mr. Hoffman declined to give any de tails, but a stockholder gave this view of the case : "President Hcffman s oppo sition to the sale was weil known, and as soon as Mr. Ryan s representatives began to buy stock Mr. Hoffman's friends cime to his .support and pur chased ail they could obtain with the view of pooling it for his benefit. We have really bad the upper hand in the fight from the start, but bavi said noth ing. When the impression became gen eral among the stockholders that Mr. Bryan really represented I. P. Morgan & Co., the New York bankers, who con trol the policy of tbe Southern Railway Company, and that tbe sale of tbe Sea board would mean its eventual control by the Southern Railway, we gained ground rapidly and were favored rather than Mr. Bryan, in spite of the high price he offered for the stock." : l ast belore leaving fortsmouth, Va., whither he went late this afternoon on business connected with the system, tbe executive of the Seaboard Air Due gave out the following statement: Under the terms of the pooling agreement, sard President Hoffman, no sale of the. pooled stock can be made without the assent of three fourths of the stock pooled. There are 8.321 shares in the pool, and as less than one-ball of that amount gave their asient, there will be no sale. The vote also shows that the stock holders have every confidence in the fu ture prosperity of the road and in tbe present management. The importance of keeping an independent line to the South can scarcely be .ever-estimated and no doubt influenced the vote of Bal timore, Norfolk and Portsmouth stock holders. Had this line got into the bands ot New York parties, represented in the Southern Railway, there would be but one line to the South, and that in the bands of New York, and these cities would have suffered accordingly in their trade. "The future of the system now looks very promising, as the first three months of the current fiscal year show large net gains over the corresponding months ot 1880, and the tact that the Ryan syndicate has been will ing to pay par lor eyen a minority interest shows tbe results oi their study of the resources of tbe Seaboard Air Line. Under the present management," continued Mr. Hoffman, "the road-baTl uecu uuuesuy uuw--h-; -s0e interest oi its stockholders and of those holding its ccgrfties, amounting to many millions "6t dollars Should a change throw its control into hands that seek only a per sonal profit or to serve tbe ends ot a competitive carrier, it might be difficult to over-estimate the danger that would threaten all interested in the system. "The public, I think, Is to be congrat ulated that this line wiil be run in the future as in the past, looking to the in terests of Baltimore and the Southern cities with which its trade relations are the most intimate and important." In commenting upon the failure of the Ryan syndicate, the Manufacturers' Record will to-morrow say: "Tbe failure of the New York people to secure a controlling interest in tbe Seaboard Air Line should cause pro found thanksgiving not only throughout the South, but wherever there exists any interest in the future of this section. That the concentration of ownership of all railroads in tbe central South in New York hands would prove a serious injury to this section and eventually to all Southern railroad securities, admits of no question. In tbe first place competi tion is essential to the best interests of the South; it is essential to the success of its merchants, manufacturers and far mers; it 1s essential to tbe best railroad work for the upbuilding of us indnstrial resources and tbe encouragement of im migration. The Seaboard Air Line has given this much-needed competition. No railroad in tbe country has done better and broader work for the material ad vancement of the country tributary to it than has the Seaboard. In tbe second place. 'the purchase of the Seaboard would have been regarded by the South as tbe gobbling up of the last indepen dent line north ot Atlanta, and this would have given the politicians of the Populistic persuasion a new fighting ground against railroads. It la safe to say that under such circumstances leg islation would have bees enacted in the centraUSoutb of vast injury to all South ern railroad securities, and thus to all Southern business interests." " "With the deia hot the recent contest for control the Manufacturers' Record has nothing to do. It may, however. very appropriately be said that the record of the present administration during the last three years of probably unequalled business depression is one of wbicb any company might be proud. In that time this company has shown a most marvellous increase in the magni tude of the road's traffic, a wonderful de velopment of the passenger service by the establishment of through Pullman trains between Washington and Portsmouth and Atlanta (whereas three years ago there were only local trains and no through passenger service), the estab lishment of Atlanta terminals, the en largement of Portsmouth facilities with new warehouses, once building, en larged water -front, etc., tbe raising of tbe standard ot tbe rolling stock from a very inferior condition to its present high grade, with the best locomotives and good cars. These things have been done, not as is often necessary, at the ex pense of net earnings, , On the contrary, during these three years period, the gross earnings have largely increased; but better by far than that is the fact that notwithstanding this very great ad vance in the physical condition of tbe road, tbe net earnings have made a very large gain also. "With the announcement that tbe Sea board will continue as an independent system, tbe people or Baltimore and of the South have an opportunity to stand bvtbis company and make sure of its Deroetual independence by giving it tbe most liberal support. This need not be done in' any hostility to any other com pany nor out of any sentimental con sideration, but purely in self-defence for the future. It is scarcely possible tnat any other great railroad system between Baltimore and the Central South will. ever be built. The territory is practically occupied. Tbe concentration of owner ship of existing lines into one manage ment would for all time make Baltimore and the territory from here to Atlanta dependent upon one management. It wculd be too late to fight, too late to complain of railroad domination, true or imaginary, alter that bad been accom plished. There would be no room for another line, and none would be built. This matter should be regarded without any question as to tbe present manage ment of other lines than the aeaooara. Their management might to-day be as .helpful to the South as that of the Illi nois Central now is tbe Illinois Cen tral seems to be more nearlyerfect in that respect than any other great system but to-morrow there might cornea condition that would be destructive to trade - between Baltimore and the South : and to tbe now .. rapidly de veloping interests of this section. Bal timore and tbe South must strive to maintain independent systems, or else they invoke dangers that may prove- of untold injury. The Seaboard is inde pendent up to date, and its death evi dently failed. Now let Baltimore and the South make some vigorous efforts to see that the independence of this sys tem and the transfer of its ownership to New York are forever impossible. This way lies the safety of future business interests ot tbe territory between here and Atlanta. Every business man, mer chant manufacturer or property owner is vitally interested in this. Moreover, every one interested in Southern rail way securities is particularly concerned. "Let the business people of the South see to it that this relation in tbe fnture. as in the past, has the benefit of the competition of Independent railway sys tems.'- ' .- NEWS OF THE NAVY. . Movements of the TJ aiied E tat an Warihlpt cf the Mediterranean Squadron. ' . Br Telegraph to the Horning Star. Washington, November: 17. Ad miral Selfridge cabled the Navy De partment to day from Smyrna that he had transferred his flag from the Mm neapolis to the: San Francisco. Both vessels are provided with admiral's quarters, and it is left to Admiral Self ridge s discretion which one be uses. There is said to be no significance in tbe transfer, but there is considerable specu lation among officers regarding the on- expected long stay of the Med it err a nean squadron in one port, especially. in view oi the fact that all the saips were kept moving from port to port during last year. For over a . month the four ships under the Admiral's command have swung idly at anchor in Smyrna harbor. The Minneapolis has been there since October 7. tbe San Francisco and Cincinnati since October 14, and the Bancroft arrived there the following dar. October 15. This inactivity on the part of the Bancroft, which was hur riedly prepared for duty at Constanti nople and sent to sea on ten days' notice last August is not explained. Perhaps the transfer of the Admiral s flag may mean that his ships are at least going to cruise. The gunbsat Canine, which recently came boms from the South Atlantic with the short time men and is now at Norfolk preparing to return to Monte vido early ia December, is to have an en tire new comp'emrnt of officers about the eighth of next month. ' The United states steamer Alert is under orders to sail to night from San Francisco to relieve the Adams as guard ship at Honolulu. The Adams has been the only United States vessel there since early in January last, and it has been deemed desirableloy the administration, while not increasing the naval force at the islands, to make a change in the station and give tbe Adams some need ed repairs at Mare Island, for which pur pose she is now ordered to come" home after the Alert arrives.

Four negroes were seriously wounded and five others spriokled with buckshot last night by a mob of white men at Altoona, fifteen miles from here, on the Tennes see river. Fifteen negroes were engaged in cutting timber for the Standard Oil Company. They bad been ordered to leave, being told that no negro was al lowed to stop there, John- Keeper, tbe foreman, decided there was no danger of violence and tbe negroes were sitting around an old smokehouse when a mob of fifty men swooped down upon them and began firing. Some of the negroes ran into the woods and others sought refuge in tbe house twitb the foreman. The mob then1 started to burn the house, but the foreman sued for peace and tbe negroes were given twenty-five minutes in which to leave. The seriously wound ed are: Smith, foreman: Mitch Clark, John Boyd .and Zsna Jenkins. They were brought to this city. No effort has been made to apprehend the mob. N it a negro can be found for miles around Altoona to-day. Several men have been killed by mobs in this neighborhood be fore. YELLOW FEVER AT HAVANA.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH. : THE CONGRESS IN SESSION AT NOR FOLK, VIRGINIA. - A Liarge Gathering Situs ot the Moat Noted Chorehmcn In the United Stales in . Altendanoe First- Cay's : Froeeediaga. Br Telegraph to the Morning Star. Norfolk, Va., November 17. The seventeenth session of the Congress of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States was convened in' this city this morning at 11 o clock with the opening sermon and a communion ''ser vice at Christ Church. There was a large congregation present, indadlng n great many visitors of prominence from many aectioes of tbe country. The beautiful ritualistic service of the church preceded tbe sermon, a feature of wbicb was the excellent music by the large choir present. . . . The opening sermon was by Right Rev. Bishop Satteriee, of Washington. h s theme being : -Thou sbalt love tne Lord thy God with all tbv mind, all tbv heart and all thy soul." particularly em- pns z eg love oi mtna. . Said be, - in part:' "Amid all the ad vancing thougnt ibis old truth continues the same. The love cf God is .our highf st privilege and duty. It demands a complete consecration cf all our faculties,. There is to be no separation of tbe love of the heart and of tbe mind. The heart, soul and mind are frequently spoken of as different functions, out the line between them is only imaginary, To separate- them would destroy the personality itself. The wisdom of tbe spiritually minded is broader tban tbe wisdom of the world, taking in facts ot existence besides thote seen by the rea son alone. It is hopeless to attempt to mate men see as Christians until they accept spiritual facts. The facts of jurists incarnation, resurrection, etc. are just as true as the facts of nature. Spiritaal facts disclose both the spirit ual - and natural, while natural facts only disclose the natural. Christ is the light of the eye, of the soul and of the reason. Every one who would know the truth and do the truth, must listen to the words of Christ. St. Paul's idea was to bring into- captivity every thought for Cbrist; thought outside of Christ is wasted thought. Intellectual subordination to Cbrist is no degrada tion of the intellect, but a glory. -Bet ter ten thousand times be as fools and be in Cbrist than to have the uttermost conceivable wisdom apart from Him. At the close of the sermon many in tbe congregation retired, but a large number remained and partook of the holy sacrament, which was adminis tered by Bishops "Randolph, Satteriee and Newton. It was an exceedingly impressive service. ' The night session of the Episcopal Congress was called to order by its pres ident, Right Rev. Alfred McGrll Ran dolph. D. D., Bishop of Southern Vir ginia, at the Acadeuiy of Music, which was crowded to its utmost capacity by aojntelligent and fashionable audience, ts nop Kanaoipn delivered an impres sive inaugural address, in which he cor dially welcomed the delegates to the city and the citizens ta the Congress, He contrasted the system of the Eaisco- pal Congress, whieh enacts no legislation with legislative bodies, relerring par ticularly to the long drawn out discus sions marking the latter and their bete- rogenus membership composed of men of all classes and creeds, from all se: Upas, some of them easily Influenced by able leadership and seductive elo quence to enact revolutionary legisla tion. He concludedw.ltK comparison of tbi GbfeRiair religion with antagonistic philosophies of the past and present- decidedly to tbe disadvantage of the latter. The topic for discussion to-night was "How can social unity be best obtained? Tbe writers and speakers upon this sub- lect were all men of national reputation. embracing the clergy, the press and the bar. Tbose who participated were Rev, Frederick Freese, of Macon. Ga; Rev. William S Ramsford, D. D.. of Ne York: Rev. Prof. Ezra Gould, D D, LL D , ot Philadelphia; Hon. Edwaid Lawrence Godkin, editor of the Evening Pest. Hew York, and the Hon. Geo. W. Pepper, of Philadelphia. , . The concensus of opinion, although under the rules of the Congress no vote could be taken, was that tbe Church should furnish men of such character that they would carry out social reforms compatible with Christian justice, but that tbe Church itself should, not enter the realm of social science. In tbe course of the discussion such evils of modern conditions as monopolies and trusts came, in for a large share of attention, although the debate was at all times conservative and never bordeiing on the sensational. -The most startling portion of the discussion was inaugu rated, by Prof. Gould, tbe tbird speaker who In bis reference to the degen eracy oi public conscience, said: "And amid this material civilization, s.ts tne Church, complacent, serene, a part ot it, pone of its bone, sinew of its sinew, instead of being its mortal foe. It is because within tbe Church there are men whose operations in business are not compatible with their professions One of the most gigantic trusts whose fraudulent operations astonished and shocked the country has on its boartl of d'rectots two Sunday school superinten dents and other men in the councils of the Church' He denominated trusts as the culmi nation cf selfishness, born of I a civiliza tion essentially selfish and said that be fore social unity could ever be attained. men must be taught to be unselfish. This be said, was the Church s work toward accomplishing social unity. : Dr. Rainsford followed in a spirited address along the same lines, pointing out in addition, other evils in the social system as embodied in legal abuses of the power of, injunction, right of ap peal, etc Mr. Pepper concluded the discussion with a brilliant summing up, reaching a conclusion that social evolution was the logical result of all efforts and the only means toward the end for which the Church is striving.

Mail orders alsa showed an Increase of buyers on the road. During the past two days matters have quieted down considerably. . As a rule buyers' orders, although averaging larger findividually in cotton goods than before the elec tions, have been of moderate dimensions and hardly calculated to do more. than take care of present and near at hand re quirements. , Sellers, even with, buyers operating so conservatively, have moved off a goodly volume of merchandise at steady to firm prices.

One Kew Yorker Who la Engaged Kxela alvely In That Occupation. u .There are many men, and their number Is constantly increasing, who are shaved at their homes dally by a barber who comes for that purpose, and so there is a consid erable number of barbers who do more or less of their work away from the shop. But there is perhaps only one man in the oity who is exclusively a visiting barber. Most of the work done in bouses is per formed before 10 o'clock in the morning. This barber has a few snob, customers whom, he attends -to before that hour, but most of his work Is done in down town business offices between the hours of 9:80 av m. and 4 p. m. ' ' - Ten years or so ago the visiting barber, then having a shop in a down town street, went out one day to shave a customer in his office, a wholesale business man, who was too busy to come to the shop. There after be shaved this customer regularly at his office, and from that beginning grew his present trade. As outside customers came to him be attended to them all per sonally, and finally, about three years ago, he gave up bia shop altogether and has since devoted himself entirely to visiting work, which be finds more profitable, fits customers are chiefly among wholesale drug merchants. . For years they all were, but then a wholesale leather merchant was added to bis list, and be has now a num ber of customers in tbe swamp. ' These customers did not all desire to be shaved at the same time, and so it was comparatively easy to make a working schedule. ' The barber appears at the office ot eaoh customer at tbe same time daily. The places to bo visited are all pretty close together, and but little time is lost in go ing from one to another. Partly for that reason and partly because the work is done on six days in the week only, Instead of seven, tbe charge for this work is a little less than for work done at home. It is $3 a week, which, however, includes hair cut ting as well as shaving. Tbe object of tbe business man who is shaved at his office is to save time. The object of tbe man who is shaved at home is both convenience and comfort. The man who is shaved at borne is likely al ways to be shaved by the same man, a barber whose work he likes and whom he has picked out himself. The barber comes to tbe bouse seven days in the week at the same hour daily. Tbe ruling price for tbl. work in the very best shops is $15 a month. Some shops do tbe work for $12, and it ia sometimes none tor f 10. The man who pays $15 a month for tbe barber to come to his bouse pays that for a daily Bhave only. Hair cutting and oth er work are extra. For hair outting be pays 75 cents. If be baa bis hair cut two or three times a month and bas any otbei work done, bis bill may easily reach $18 a month, which is a figure.net unusual. It rmay come to,TiSBre than 'that. If the bar ber bas to wait, no account is taken of a detention of a few minutes, but if he has to wait half an hour or more tbe time is charged for at tbe rate of $1 an hour. New York sun. WHERE WOMAN ISN'T APPRECIATED, When She Goes With a Man to Help Him Bay Clothe For Himself. Bis wife was with him, and it took the cleric two boars mj sell mm a suit ot clothes, during whioh time be tried on half a dozen suits and overhauled a doz en more. It was only a $15 suit at that, and when the man and his wife had de Darted the clerk got himself excused for ten minutes and went out and blew in 15 cents out of bis small salary on a Man hattan cocktail. When be got back, as was feeling better, but there was still ' trouble enough on his ntlnd, and out of the kindness ot my heart I gave him an opportunity to vent bis feelings. : "I would bave sold that man a suit ot clothes inside of ten minutes if it hadn't been for his wife," be said, "and It wouldn't bave been a $15 suit either. The floor manager has got a grudge against me. He always calls on me .to. serve a man when there Is a woman along with him If this thing goes on, I'll throw up my job. Harder to sell a man when he has his wife or sister or sweetheart with him? Why, there isn't any comparison. The woman goes on the assumption that tbe man is an Idiot and doesn't know what be wants, anyhow; and that we are trying to swindle him. And the worst of it is you've got to pretend to be amiable, or she complains, and then you get fined or fired. I'd rather wait on a dozen men than on one man .with a Woman along who bas got a pro prietary .interest In bim.

Here is tbe latest story of the Turkish custom house : A richly bound copy of Herodotus was found in the truak of a Greek traveler. "Who is the author of this book?" said an official. "Herodotus. "What subjects does he deal with?" "Kings and international conflicts. "Does he allude to eastern affairs?" "He treats of nothing else." Where. upon the book was incontinently confiscated.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that no many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, bnt simply to a constinated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant xamiiy laxative, esyrupoi nigs, prompt ly removes.

Suppose troops to be drawn up on a line in such numbers as to extend ror a miie ana or dered by a signal that all could see to fire at once. One standing at the end of the line would hear the report of the mus ket nearest bim instantly. He Would hear the others successively. Thus a re port 550 feet away would come to him in half a second, "and he would not hear the last report for five or six seconds after the gun had been fired. This would produce, a sort of roll, which would gradually increase in intensity, xx the listener stood exactly midway between the two ends of the line, the reports from both ends would reacn mm at once, and the sound would be but half as long in reaching him as if he stood at one extremity. If the soldiers xormea a circle, there would be one sharp ex- riloair.n. Flashes of lightning may be considered as representing three lines of troops along which the explosions oc cur at the same time.

Boston Traveller. A Realiatle Effect. At the final rehearsal of Mozart's opera, "Don tiiovanni,". tne" composer was dissatisfled with the efforts of the young lady to whom the part of Zerlina was assigned. Zerlina is frightened at Don Giovanni's too pronounced love making and cries for assistance behind the scenes. Mozart was unable to infuse sufficient force into the poor girl's screams, until at last, losing all pa- tience, he clambered from the conduct or's desk on to the boards. At that peri od a few tallow candles dimly glim mered among the desks of the musi cians, but over the stage and the rest of the house almost utter darkness reigned. - Mozart's sudden appearance on the stage was therefore not suspected by poor Zerlina, who, at the moment when she ought- to have uttered the cry. received from the composer a sharp pinch on the arm, emitting in conse quence a shriek which caused him to' exclaim: "Admirable 1 Mind you scream like that tonightl" j BUSINESS LOCALS- Noncaa For kcat or Sale.
