Scarlet Fever--Dlphtheria.i
The epidemic of scarlet fever has not
abated in the least, as shown by the
health officer’ 8 report for the past week.
There are; eighteen cases reported.
Two are in Ithe First Ward, three in
the Second, five in the Third, one each
in the Fourth and Fifth and six in Itth
'I Sixth Ward. '
Diphtheiia-is IalsoI raging, IaIlIthough
in a milder form. Of the latter disease
there' is one in the First Ward, one in f
each 1511 the Second and Third, two- in
the Fourth, one in the Fifth and two
in the Sixth Wards. During the week
two deaths from scarlet fever have oc-
curred. '
; Appended to the Health Oflicer’ 3 re-
port is the following warning.
“I find that the spread of scarlet fe-
ver is attributable in a great measure
to the fact that many people who have
_it in their families, in a light form, do
'not think it necessary to call in a phy-
sician. The children are permitted to
play with other children. In this man-I
‘ner the disease is communicated.
Many are found who are so careless
andindifierent about the Spread of the
disease, that the placarding of houses
should. be adopted, as I have recom-
mended in my _IaInnu'alI repert. ”—

,2QI5D LINCOLN FAVOR HAMLIN?
Evidence That JOIIinson was Not tIIho
Presiden’t Choice.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., July 14. f—Major
Albert E. H.' Johnson was asked
this morning what were his recollections
about the attitude of President Lincoln
toward the nomination of Hannibal Ham-
lln for vice-President. Major Johnson,
Who is now a patent attorney of this city,
was private secretary to Mr. Edwin winM
Stanton, during the time the latter was
Secretary of War, and is consequently well
qualified to speak upon anything con-
nected with the composition of the Cabinet
atthat time. '-
Mr. Johnson replied that while Mr
Lincoln had a high appreciation for An-
drew Johnson it was surmised by those
who were closeSt to him that the Presi-
dent would have been better pleased if
TMr. Hamlin had been renominated. He
_had no doubt of Andrew Johnson’s pa-
triotism and honesty of pdTpOse, but he
feared that occasions might arise in
which Johnson’ 5 natural stubbornness
would work detriment both to the party-
and the country in the event that he him-
5811 should die before the end of his term.
“Mr. Lincoln sometimes had flashes of
I intuition which seemed almOst like clair-
Voyance, and one of these occasions Was-
when the telegram announcing Johnson’s
nomination was handed to him. He said,
“Perhaps he is the best man, but—_‘ and
he walked out of the 100m Without con-
eluding the Senten e.
“The impression n IthOse about him was, ery
With the British Provinces, into England,
through the accession to the Melony
of Andi cw Johnson. ”
With regard to Mr. Stanto'n’ s- own pref-I
e_rences, Major Johnson said that, accord-I
ing to his 1ecollectlon Secietary Stanton
favored the 13no'minatlon- of the Old
party. He was suspicious of JOli‘nson
from the fir st. The relations between Mr.
Lincoln and Mr. Stanton were such that
one Was pretty sure to- share the- other’ 3.
views. If there were any differences of
opinion the World was sure to know of it.
They W or ked well togethei, notwithstand-
lng their differences of character.
UNION SIEMINARY' FUNDS. .
Reported Suits to Recover Subscriptions
I on Account of Dr. Briggs Denied.
NEW YORK, July 14.—Russell Sage denied
to-day a report that he, intends to bring
suit against the trustees of the Union
Theological _Se nary to I recover 85,000,
the amount of his subscription made in
1883 to the endowment fund of that insti-
tution, because of. the action of the trus-
tees regarding; .B1iggs.
In discussingt e course 01' the Union
Theological Seminary in refusing to obey
' the General Assembly, which disapproved
of the retention of Dr. Briggs in the
faculty,<Mr.~-Sage said that he, like other _
Presbyterians, had contributed to the 'en-
dowment, fund with the understanding
that the Seminary would always recognize
the authority of the General Assembly in
“But, H
hope and expect that this breach between
the Seminary and the Assembly will be
bridged, and harmony restOi ed. When I
.gave$5, 000 to the Union Theological Semi-
inary its ”Orthod0x‘y was; guaranteed by the
doctrinal oath of every directOr and profes-
sor. I had confidence in Dr. Hitchcock,
and I still hope that the Union Seminary
will get rid of men like Dr. Briggs, who
want us Piesbyterians to cut away the
sheet anchor of our 1eligion. Certainly
we should not be asked to contribute
money for the Spread of doctrines which
we do not believe to be true.” .

Springs. He represents the largest sum
paid to the Seminary sfnce lam—$300,000.

ASBURY PARK, July 14. —On complaint Of
Mr. Bradley, the founder of Asbury Park,
William Griflin, J1. ., a wholesale beer bot-
tler, was arrested yesterday morning and
arraigned before Justice of the Peace
Gould. Mr. Bradley charged the defend-
ant with selling beer contrary to law, that
is, within one mile of Wesley Lake. Mr.
Griflin is the owner of a number of the
“arks” which deliver beer on orders to
bosses in Asbury Park.- Grifiin gave ball
to appear before the Grand Jury. Mr.
Bradley has the names of all the people
to whom Griffin’s driver had been deliver-
ing beer, and no little consternation among
them was caused when he'made known
his intention of Summoning them as wit—
nesses before theGrand Jury. Mr. Brad-
ley is taking the entire iesponslbility of
this beer fight on his own shoulders, for
the Board of Commissioners have net
authorized his action.

Wherever Protestant Christianity lives
and grows to- day, there the Society of
came into existence in the study .of Dr.
Francis H. Clark, pastor of the Willis-
ton church of Portland, IMe., in 1881.
There had been a revival of religion in
the church‘during the. winter, in which
many young people and small children
had professed conversion. It has a lofty
object and is very American. The move-
I Iment it i'epresents'is religious. It aims
to regenerate the spiritual life of the
churches.
leaped both oceans. It is a popular
movement, making the masses minis
ters and equalizing the religious re-
spOnsibilities of the sexes. It is a lev-
elling and unifying movement, recog-
nizing all denominations, yet none, and
bringing all together in one organiza-
tion. It is essentially a society of young
people, but this limitation has reference
to youthful spirits and activity rather
than'to' age. _ Its founders and its pres-
ent advocates. all over the world say
that. it was born of the religious neces-
sities of the time.
The first prayer meeting of the first
Society Of Christian Endeavor was led
by a boy 11 years old. That illustrates
the spirit which prevails in the 11,000
societies to- day. Other children, even
younger, took active parts in the meet-
ing. The results shortly commended
the plan to the pastors of neighboring
Ichurches and the astonishing growth of
the movement began. West church in
Portland copied the Williston Society,
and before long almost all of the active
churches in Portland and the neighbor-
'hood followed. Edmund T. Garland
soon after left the Williston church and
moved to Lincoln, Neb., and started
the movement there. Charles B. New
ton moved from1Portland to South Had-
ley, Mass, and started it there. A Wil-
liston girl married a preacher in Du-
luth Minn, and that started the move-
ment around the lakes. John Chamock
of the Williston Society, went to Taco-
the, Wash. ., and made a new center
there. He was an Englishman and he
wrote to a minister in Create, Eng-
land, who was pleased with the idea,
and Christian Endeavor Societies be-
gan to grow up all over England. Wil-
liston influence started the movement
in the Mission churches Of Foochow,
China. Presently Dr. Clark was in-
duced to deseribe the movement in a
religiOus paper, which resulted' in a cir-
cular being Spread broadcast over the
country. Inquiries poured in from ev-
ery state and territory, and Christian
Endeavor was launched. ~ . .
At the fifth annual cOnference 950 so-
Icieties reported with a membership of
50, 000. Dr. Clark was now made the
president of. the United Society. Four
thousand young folk crowded Armory
convention. Dr. Clark had meantime
visited England and given the. Work a
great impulse there. Eight thousand
delegates attended the next convention
in Philadelphia; representing thirty-
one states and territories, and Germany,

Alrnost an Italian R lot.
BRIDGEPOBT, July 14. —A gang of
drunken Italians almost caused blood-
shed at a dam owned by the Bridgeport
Hydraulic Co. on Mill river, in the
town of Trumbull yesterday morning.
About 125 men are employed there,
and most of them are Italians. While
many of the latter are steady work-
men, some were probably brigands
and belong to as murderous bands as
the Mafia. They are always causing
trouble, and yesterday exhibited a
bloodthiisty desire that was really
alarming. ,
Saturday evening the men were paid
off and Over a dozen got drunk. They
remained me state of inebrety ,until
yesterday m01ning, when the ind'ul-
gence in so much drink had driven
them to frenzy: To the place wheie
then more steady ,co-laborers ,were at
too drunk to Work they ordered the
others _to quit andjoin them in a drunk.
They refused. I . -
This made the inebriates' angry and
they determined to precipitate the
place in a riot. They produced ugly
knives and made several attempts to
stab WOrkmen. They were driven away
with clubs, but quickly returned and
cOm-m‘énced stoning the workmen. It
was give and take for a short time, and
several men were painfully injured.
Afte1 this, while there was no mom
fighting, the rioters were still trouble-
some, and, knowing their treacherous
character, the foreman dispatched a
messenger to this city, asking for the
protection of the police. Deputy Sher-
ifi' Leonard visited Ithe dam yesterday
afternoon and found the workmen in a
state of alarm, although all was quiet.
Sheriff Hayes of Stepney, had been
summoned and was in charge. Early
in the evening the sheriff left. He an-
ticipates no more trouble and thinks
the men will return to work to-day.
