Rev. R.' G, Pearson, the evange list, has found it necessary to ad journ his Baltimore meetings until he recuperates from a serious illness. The meetings were discontinued last night, and Mr. Pearson went to his home, sick with fever. He says that overwork is the cause ol his illness.

He has been - . . very sick, sometimes unconscious for an hour or two at a time. He has had the "grip," and has been threatened with pneumonia, but the' prime cause of all hi) sickness is nervous prostration and a general breaking down of the system. He has frequently preached three times on Sunday, and lectured every night in the we.-k succeeding. As most men do under such circumstances, he gave way all at once, and for days he has been too weak Xo take food. Th Caaag-ca at leaaa laallialc.

The emigrant business has com pletely pegged out in the past few days. The farmers in the section from which the neeroes have been drawn, have taken steps to check the trade of the emigrant agents, and have not only warned the agents off, but have laid their complaints before the railroad officials. ; The farmers complain that the agents have In duced laborers already under ., con tract to leave, thus seriously crippling the farmers, v As a result' the rail road companies m, withdraw fht emigrant rates, if they have not al ready done so.
