Rapid Closing of (‘omracts at St. Louis at
the Low Rate.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 18.—’l‘he collapse of the
steel pool and the consequent decline in
the prices of steel rails per ton have already
begun to exert a stimulating influence on
the steel and iron business here. The St.
Louis agents of the Carnegie company and
the Illinois Steel company are making
many deals in this vicinity. The Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Railway company heads
the list with an order for 10,000 tons of
steel rails placed with the Carnegie Steel
company. This means 100 miles of new
track somewhere between here and Gal-
veston and steady employmenl‘for hun-
dreds of men for months to come.
The St.'3.f.“.1-:.." 311?»?an Francisco road
has also availed itself of the opportunity
and placed an order with the Illinois Steel
company for 8,030 tons. The Missouri Pa-
cific ordered 6,000 tons, and news comes
from Texas that E. H. R. Green of the
Texas Midland has just closed a cal for
20,000 tons. There is particular signifi-
cance in Mr. Green’s purchase, as it means,
not repairs, but extensions. The greater
part of the Texas Midland track has been
recently laid, so that if Mr. Green’s new
rails are put down anywhere they must go
to extendingr his line. TO a friend who ar-
rived from Texas Mr. Green admitted that
he intended to use the rails just ordered in
building more read. His extension will
doubtless be to Dallas and from there
south. President Conner of the Dallas
Terminal railway arrived in this city yes-
terday. lie is in the IrruI-kct for 3,000 tons
of rails.
The agents of both the Carnegie and the
Illinois companies are reticent as to what
orders they have placed further than those
above noted, but it is known that together
they have rcceix ed r rders for 30,000 tons
to be laid in the immediate vicinity of St.
Louis. ‘

NEW veal: LETTER.
Brooklyn has the distinction of em~
bracing in its 'territory the .most.
unique burial plot on earth. The plot
is located on a beautiful slope to the
right of the main entrance to Ever-
, green Cemetery. This plot is the prop-
erty of the United States, and has been
set apart as the last resting place of
the sailors who die in the port of New
York, friendless and far from home.
The plot occupies the most desirable
location in the cemetery, and now con-
tains the remains of nearly two thou-
sand sailors. The plot: consists of
three acres on the high-est ground, and
has been in use for upward of forty
years. On the plateau is a. marble
monument, rising in base. pedestal.
shaft and capital to the height of ()0
feet. The pedestal has four panels,
one bearing the inscription: "For Sail—
ors of All Nations.” while the others
boar nautical emblems and the names
of the first Board of Trustees. Sur-
mounting the capital is a marble globe,
on which is engraved the map of the
world. Parts of the plot are allotted
to Asia, South America, Occuuicn and
Africa, while under the head of Eu-
rope separate lots have been set aside
for the benefit of all the various man
itime nations of that continent, France
and England being allotted the largest
lots. All the American sailors are in-
terred in the plot allotted to the Uni‘
ted States. Canadian, Mexican and
Central American sailors have sepa-
rate lot's. Each subdivision of the plot
has a large stone, with the name of
the country ’to which it is assigned in
raised letters on its surface.
Miss Lillian Russell recently added
another to the list of her experiences,
and gave the prisoners spending Sun-
day in the Tombs a. chance to do like‘
wise. In accordance with the wish of
the Rev. Villinm Lindsay. who con—
ducts the Protestant Episcopal service
in that prison and Ludlow Street Jail
(when there are enough inmates left
in the latter place to hour ill Miss Rus-
sell rendered a. semi-religious vocal
solo for the occupants of the Tombs
cclls. She has sung before hundreds
of larger and more fashionable houses,
but few of the-n1 had looked forward
with kcener expectation to her cor;
ing or found more delight in the ex-
ercise of her talent. The fact that
Miss Russell was to sing in the Tombs
All, loceu sufficiently advertised be-
fmf-(é'gnnd. and \Varden Van De Carr
said {mg he had been pcstered for
three _(l:1;\“s\‘-l?y people who wantcd
free misses to 'th-Qc’l‘ombs for the occa-
sion. There was, in I. “t a respectable
scattering of visitors abo the railing
on the second floor'of the " '1'1'5“
when Miss Russell climbed the s'
that lead to it with her accompanist,
Paul Steindorff. She wore a jaunty
hat, a black jacket richly faced with
sable fur and a black skirt of brocad-
cd satin. The prisoners trained their
eyes to catch a glimpse of’her through"
the bars of their cell doors and the
backs of accommodating guests that
stood between them and Miss Russell,
but made no special demonstration at
her appearance. She walked to the lit-
tle organ that is used in the regular
afternoon service, and after the cler-
gyman had introduced her to' the au-
dience, who might be supposed not to
know yet that she had come, Mr.
Steindori‘f sat: down at the instrument.
Miss Russell sang James Thompson’s
“A Song of Thanksgiving” the words
of which were written by Francis Al-
lfston. As she- finished, the hollow
mund of applause echoed from the
rolls and down the corridor, the clap-
jing of the hardened hands mingling
with what seemed to be the sound of
a tin basin. The applause grew into
an encore, and Miss Russell was will-
ix;_-.g: to respond, but Mr. Lindsay did
net approve of that. She gave no
more, therefore, but later repeated
the same selection 'before the boys’
prison, whom she smilingly declared
to be the best gallery she ever sang to.
She song also for the fem-ale prison-
ers.
Miss Russell expressed Iersclf
pleased with her little adventure, and
said that she would come down later
on a week day, without announcing it
beforehand, and sing some ballads to
the prisoners.

The Rev. Lyman Abbott and other
Congregational ministers are surprised
and indignant because of a new, State
law which, it is just discovered, is de—
structivc of theCongregational form
of church government. Each Congre-
gational Church is not. only absolutely
independent of each other as regards
doctrine and policy, but each member
is the equal of every other member,
and the pastor has no‘absolute author-
ity. The new law, it is discovered,
not only makes the pastor an auto-
crat, but puts the individual churches
in larger measure under control of the
association'or denomination to which
they belong. This, of course, is en-
tirely contrary to Congregational and
Baptist usage, and the churches will
try to have the law amended so as to
exempt them from its operation.
