C, Aug. 10. The Woman's Missionary Society of tho Reformed Church In North Carolina met yesterday afternoon in the First Reformed Church of this city. There is quite a largo attendance of dele gates from all parts of the Btutc. The session yesterday afternoon was a business meeting at which officers for the ensuing year wero elected. The meeting last night was pre sided over by (he president, Mrs. C. C. Bost, df Hickory It was public, and was very largely attended. "The Vessels of the Lord" was the sub ject of a most Interesting paper read by Miss Ida Hedrick, of Isling ton. After a duot the Rev. W. W. New York, Aug. 10. It is proba ble that tomorrow will see this city cut off from the world by a Btrlke of 3,000 . telegraph operators em ployed in this city by the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Com panies according to a statement made today by Joseph F. Ahem, president of tho local unuion. "It Is probable that New Yorl; will bo Involved In the strike," Air. Ahearn declared. "The union has done all In Its power to prevent a strike but the Western Union has not acted fairly. I think the strike will become general throughout the country." . Mr. Ahearn said that a meeting had been called for tomorrow in the Manhattan Lyceum No. 66 East Fortieth street at which the strike question in Now York City will be considered. Indications seems to siiow that a conclusion of the meet ing a sympathetic strike with tho 1,700 Chicago operators now out will be called. Prepaartions for the strike have boon made on a vast scale by both companies. The Western Union and Postal 'buildings are botn filled with cots upon which strike breakers are to sleep. Operators will be given an opportunity to work double time and special inducements will bo held out to t:io higher class and speedier workers. '. The union men are unanimous in (ho belief that the Western Union Company, by its attitude by refusing to live up to its agreement with the union, is trying to force a strike so as to disrupt the unio:i. The men say that the company for months has been preparing for a strike and is now almost ready for a lockout. Vice-President Adams of the Pos tal Telegraph Company said today: "As far as we arc concerned, only a part of our Chicago force has quit yand we have men on the way there now to take the places of the de serters. We expect t ohave things in normal condition by Monday. The trouble On our lines has not spread beyond Chicago 'and New Orleans." J. C. Barclay, assistant general Rowe, of Rockwell, made a highly interesting address. This mornlns and this afternoon well attended business sessions '.yore held. Last evening tho children from the Orphan Home at Crescent gave a most interesting entertain ment and a neat sum of money was realized. GHASTLY WAY OF RAISING HIS FUNERAL EXPENSES.

Business in the board of trade was greatly hampered at. tho opening to day and the only foreign sorvico and quotations obtained for somo time were thoso received over leased wires of large commission houses. The grain ticker service ..was' moving, but the men operating the sending ma chines were evidently far from being exports, as the reading matter and figures which appeared at tho many receiving points was bulled up to such an extent that most of it re- NEW TOWN OF ZEBULON CELEBRATES 1ST BIRTHDAY The hustling little town of Zcbulon. iiltuated twenty-five miles from Ral eigh, on the Raleigh ami Pamlico di vision of the Norfolk and Southern Railway;- Is today celebrating its first birthday.. -.One year ago today, the first nail was driven and-the' first building start ed 'on 'what was then only an unin habited spot in the backwoods.
