BOARD OF TRADE.Tuenday night's was the most inter-

esting meeting of the Board we everattended. It bod been announcedthat Captain John M. Murphy, thealuminum roan, would be present andmake a business proposition, hencethe attendance was very large.

Captain Murphy was present, andmadean entertaining.address, givingsomething of the history of aluminum,an account of his long struggle toextract the'metal from the ore (clay),b ls~pheiioraii nal"BUcce8s^~byTlie~use^a secret chemical preparation, and bisendeavors to organize a company tocarry on the business on a large scale.In all these he has been successful,produces a metal 99.65 per cent pure,bun au Incorporated com pan y capital-ized at $3,000,000, and has purchaseda tract of land near DaOosta, nil inHammontou. Ground will be brokenfor the plant within thirty days.

The capital stock is all taken—nonefor gale at any price.

Capt. Murphy produced evidencethat this is the most gigantic businessproposition ever made in this sectionof the country—The clay is takenfrom their own beds, 440 uares inextent, the vein being at least sixtyfeet deep. The finished product isin constant demand, the supply en-_tirejy_tpp_ small, an d _th_e_. profits, .verylarge.- The- only concession asked ,by the

grants exemption from taxes, thesamefavor should be extended to this com-pany; also, that the roads leading totheir plant be kept in good condition.In. return, a large number of men willbe employed, bouses built, generaltrade increased, and the entire commu-nity be beuefitted.

Numerous samples of the metal wereexhibited ; also muiTufactured articlesof utility.

As we all know, a state law prohibitsany exemption from taxes, but a sug-tlon was made that the amount paidbe set aside us a «]>ccial fund, for utime, to improve the roads.

Of course, we commend the Captainfor his perseverance and congratulatehim upon the outcome, and wish biscompany all the success that he nowanticipates.

The above buHlness occupied most ofthe time, and but little else was done.One new member was received, a billor two paid, a resolution adopted todenounce an already dead issue.

Hrown they did not see.Only one man had fired at them, andus Van Alllen fled on the horse -theylooked for no one else, and Brown,hidden behind the paddle dike, wasleft unmolested. . ,

When the re-enforcementsV'ame andfound the body of Van Allen In thoroad, and , farther on found Brown,sound asleep In a bed of nuul, the ofllcers shook their heads significantlyand put Brown under arrest.

Brown's report was concise:i "We held them as long as we could,mid then Van Allen started back (ohold them up at some_ place farthernn. He never got a hundred yards.One- mhn -on u horse could. make time.Two couldn't. I stayed here and theypassed on without seeing me."

In the court-martial thnt followed..Brown., wan .acquitted .of ... .cowardice,but was reduced to the ranks for"gross neglect of duty" nnd transfer-red "to another troop In his regiment.'

Then one day came the rumor thatback In the province the natives wereforming for an attack:—At Ilrst thu te-ports of native spies had been disre-garded, and any Intimation of Insur-rection had been sneered Into silenceatT'dTvTsion headquarters, hut the re-ports continued to come in from vari-ous sources until orders were finallyIssued to investigate. Van Allen'stroop commander was ordered to senda squad of men out Into the suspecteddistrict to find the truth of the reportsIn circulation. Then Van Allen kne\vthat at- last his chance had arrived;He secured permission to form one of

the squad of eight men detailed on thisduty.

"How the h do I know," was thereply. "I'm no medic."

After tlie first fury of the attackthe little party had numbered but ninemen and five horses, and of these twomen were now dead, and the rest,

Brooklyn, N. Y. — At 1'lymouthChurch, the Rev. Lyman Abbott, D. D.,occupied Ills old pulpit in the absenceof the present pastor, the Rev. N. D.Hllllg. Dr. Abbott's subject was "TheEssential Spirit of Christianity." Hechose,for his text the prissage Matthewxx:27-i28: "Whosoever will be chief

you let him be your servant,tia the Son of Man came, not to

What do we mean by Christianity?"What Is -I ts essential, specific spirit?It Is the spirit of the Christ who "camenot to be ministered unto, but to minis-ter." The spirit of the Christian Is "tbe like the Christ. It Is to get back oall that Is Injurious and all that is val-uable; all the.accretions that are injur-ing arid air the additions •which havebeen made In the growth of Christian-ity, doctrine, ritual and institutional;to get back to the time of Christ Him-Eelfr and;—lf~WB~cnn,~see"wlia"t~Chris;

On Wednesday morning, a revereearthquake shook San Francisco andsurrounding country, wrecking manybuildings and causing the loss of manylives,—just how many we may nev.erknow,—probably a thousand or more,

The shock broke city gas and watermains, and when fire brofi^ont therewas • no'iuc'ans of extinguishing it.Consequently, flames have destroyedfar more than did tbo earthquake.

At this -writing, Friday, fires are stillrugi ng^much-ot-the_beautifuLcity_ isin ruins, and despite the use of explo-sives to remove buildings and stay theprogress of the flames, there appearsto be no hope of saving any considera-ble portion of the city.

.fuuiic buildings, Business house87hospitals, chuTchta, and residenceshave been destroyed,—thu loss alreadyreaching into hundreds of millions oldollars.

Hundreds of thousands of people arhomeless, and witii.n&sufe shelter.
