The Episcopalian council de

which was that allecting 'tlio rate of rep
resentation in the council. It was finally
agreed that each parish would bo entitled
to txvo delegates , and In addition thereto
ono delegate for every fifty communi
cants and the major fradtlonul of fifty , ,
which shall only bo counted after the
multtulo shall be filled.
The committee on tbo state of the
church nskod for further time , on tiio
ground that data had been furnished

tee was instructed to secure the necessary
data and report within three wdcks.

The council then adjourned.
MOVING THE WORLiD.
To Enable Them to Do This , the
Teamsters Unite.
A meeting of the teamsters' union was
held last night in ICcsslcr's ball on South
Thirteenth street : There were about
twenty members present , each of whom
had gone thither expecting to procure a
copy ot the by-laws , which had been ,
promised , but not yet delivered by the
printer. There was but little business to
transact , and accordingly a few of the
members paid their dues and engaged in
a talk of a desultory nature.
But little has been said , and loss is
known , of this union. It had its origin
on the 10th of last April , ono of the ( Uys
on which Fox was grading Sixteenth
street near St. Mary's avenue. Ho had
taken tlio contract at so low
a liguro that to keep himself from loss
he had to endeavor to make his teamsters
dc almost double work. For that pur
pose , Fox , the teamsters claim , had a
man at each end of tlio line and a couple
along the walks in each block to keep the
drivers always on the jump. To this the
teamsters objected. They wore also re
quired to furnish a wagon twelve feet
Jong , with siuo nnd end boards twenty
inches high. They claim , furthermore ,
that they were , required to keep their
teams on a trot in going to and returning
from tlio place of unloading. To all of
these the toamstera objected , and this
led to the organization of the
union. The members propose to do
a fair day's work for a fair
day's pay , which , in their estimation ,
is $3.50 per day. They will not trot their
teams , but dnvo them a steady , reliable ,
walking gait. Moreover- wagons are
but nine lect in length , by sixteen inches
in height. These are some of the cardi
nal points of tlio union. The members
have subscribed to thorn , and expect to be
governed by them in the managc'mcnt of
tnoir uffuirs.
This union ( Iocs not include persons
who work by tiio job. They work by the
day , being paid in the ; siuiio manlier ,
which is dilleront from expressmen , be
cause the latter are compelled to take out
a liccn.se. Each owner of a team pays
monthly to the union 00 cents. Drivers ,
who do not own rigs , pay B5 oontd. The
ollicors are : President. .Joe Weaver ; vice
president , F. II , Councilor ; secretary , J.
S. Moore , and treasurer , Win. M. Dulton.
A SIIOIW ? STOP.
It Undoubtedly Saved tlis Uvcs of
Two Ijiulles.
What might have been a serjous run
away accident was averted by the heroism
of Billy Watson , the porter at the Windsor
ser hotel , yesterday afternoon about 2
o'clock. Two ladies , the sister and
daughter of Mr. Henry Spigel , wore driv
ing in a light buggy on Tenth
street toward the depot , Intending to
visit the lUitfls. When near Jackson
street , their horse became frightened by
the brcatdng of a bolt , and dasliod down
the street ut a furious rate , the younger
lady meanwhile with presence of mind ,
clinging to tlio reins. When passing the
Windsor , Watson sprang ut tlio horso's
head and , ut the risk of his own life ,
brought the animal to a standstill. Much
praise is duo the young man for his
prompt and heroic act , and the ladies deserve -
servo credit for their courage and cool
ness.

LOVE AND STRAWBERRIES.
Farmer Klmball was in his strawberry
patch , pulling up tlio weeds , when Lucy
Iveeno came down the road that beautiful
June morning , and ho was just about to
throw an armful of them over tlio fcuco
as she came round the corner.
The stinbounet she wore was exactly
like ono ho remembered to have seen her
mother wear twenty-live years ago ; and
ho remembered , too , as ho looked at this
ono and tlio fresh , rosy face under it ,
how that , ono had made his heart flutter
the. first time ha saw it , and how ho was
so bewitched by It , or the face under it ,
that ho had walked homo with Hester
Mason and had had hard work to keep
from proposing to her.
As ho looked at Hester's daughter this
summer morning the old lire stirred un
der the dust and ashes of twenty-five
years , and ho felt a little llamo spring up
in ills heart.
"Good morning , Lucy , " ho said loanIng -
Ing over the fenco.
"Ohl" exclaimed Lucy , with a little
jump , "I didn't see you , and you came
near scaring mo. Isn't it pleasant ? "
"tos , H is pleasant , " answered tlio
farmer , looking straight at her pretty
face. "How's your mother ? "
"Prcttty wolf , " answered Lucy. "Your
strawberries are doing splendidly , aren't
they ? We're so provoked about ours.
The liens got into the garden , and mother
says she don't think wo'll have a pailfll
of berries in all. "
"I want to knowl" exclaimed the
farmer. "Now , tell your mother she's
welcome to all she wants out of my
patch. Slio can. have 'cm just us well as
not. There's going to bo a sight moro'n
wo'll want , and I'd rather have 'em used
than wasted. "
"I will tell her , " answered Lucy. "I
know she'll be delighted at the chance.
You know what a hand she is to make
strawbcriy preserves. "
"Yes , 1 do. " answered the farmer ,
thinking of old times. "I remember she
beat all the old housekeepers at that.
They used to say that she had a knack of
making strawberry jam that nobody else
could get hold of. "
"Shu hasn't ' lost it yet , " said Lucy.
"She'll bo pleased to have yon come to
lea some time and try some she mmlu
inst year. She had unusually good
luck. "
"I'll do it , " lie replied. "Tell her I'll
come over on Saturday , if it's agreeable ,
and 1 reckon the berries will bo ripe , so I
can pick a pailful by that time. If they
be I'll bring some over. "
"Thank you , " said uicy. "If you do
we'll have shortcake. I'll toll her to ex
pect you to ten on Saturday , tlion. "
" " "I'll bo
"Yes , answered the farmer ,
round if nothing happens. Oh , I heard
from Charley yesterday. He'll bo home
in a day or two to stay. "
"That'll he pleasant for you , " replied
Lucy , stooping down to pick up a daisy.
He could not sec how rosy the face un
der the bewitching sunbonnet grew all at
once. If he had it might have set him to
thinking.
"Yes , it will , " said the farmer.
" ' . "
"Charley's agood boy.
"I think Fll have to bo going , " said
Lucy. "We shall expect you to tea Satur
day , remember. "
"L wont disappoint you , " said the
farmer ; and then Lucy went on , and ho
went back to pulling weeds.
"I thinks it's foolish to think of such a
thing , " he said to himself , "but I don't
know as it's anybody's business but ours ,
If I see fit to marry Lucy , and she's will-
m'v I'm going to do it. "
1-rom whicTi you will sec that the farm
er's old fancy for the mother had sudden
ly been transferred to the daughter.
Charley came homo the next dny.
"I s'pose I'll have to toll him what I've
been thinking about , " thought the farm
er. "I'd 'bout as soon take a horse
whipping , 1 declare , Hut thereaint any
use in dreading it and putting it off , as 1
know ot. " „
Accordingly when they wore silting in
the porch alter supper the farmer began :
"I've been thinking of getting a new
housekeeper , " he announced.
"Wont Aunt Sarah stay ? " asked
Charley.
" 1 1 mean a housekeeper of another
kind , " he said , wiping his face vigorously
ly-
Charley gave a whistle of surprise , and
stared hard at his father.
"Who is it to be , if I may ask such a
question ? " ho said.
"Down tlio road , " said the farmer ,
jerking his thumb over ins shoulder in
the direction of tlio Widow Keeno's.
Ho couldn't muster up courage enough
to say it was Lucy.
"Aha ! that's the way tlio wind blows ,
is it ? " laughed Charley. "I'm glad to
hear it. You couldn't do bettor. "
"I'm glad to hear you say so , " suidMr.
Kimball , much relieved. "I felt sure
you'd like to have Lucy as a member of
the family. "
" 1 haven't any objections , if she
hasn't. "
"So that's over"said tlio farmer , as
Charley strolled down the road in tlio
early evening. "I wonder lie never took
a fancy to her. Is'poso folks'll bay I'm
an old fool , but I don't care. "
About 1 o'clock on Saturday afternoon
Mr. Kimball in his best coat and with a
pail of strawberries on his arm knocked
at .Mrs. Kccnc's door.
"Good afternoon"bald the widovy as
she let him in , with n charming suspicion
of ublush , in her face.
"There's some berries , " said lie , awk
wardly presenting hih offering. "Lucy
said the liens had pluyed the mi.-chiuf
with your'rt , and as 1 have plenty , why ,
you may just as well ns not have as many
of 'cm as you need , "
" 1 am a thousand time1 ! obliged to
you. "
By that lime the farmer got to tlio sit
ting-room door. Who should he see
there but Charloyl "Yon kept it very
sly , but I wasn't to bo cheated out of my
share of the strawberry preserves. "
Then Clmrloy and Lucy looked at each
other and laughed , and tlio farmer felt
his face grow red.
"Just sea what he's brought ua , " said
tlio widovV ; displaying the berries. "If
you'll help to pick 'emLucy , we'll have a
shortcake for tea. 1 remember how fond
you used , to bo of strawberry shoitcako
yours ugo , " and the widow mulled ut the
farmer tlH there was a dimple in each
cheek. Her words brought vividly back
to him his happiest experiences of a
quarter of a century previous.
' I remember , too1 , ho responded.
Then Luoy and her mother went out.
"I've ' spoken to her about being ono of
the famiJy and she's willing , " said
Cnarlqy.
"I f don't understand. " said the farm
er , in great bewilderment , growing hot ,
then cold
"Why , you know what you said tlio
other night , when you told mo you
thought ot getting her mother for house
keeper , " explained Charley. "I sup
posed from what you said you knew that
Luoy and I intended to bo tnitrrid. .It's
settled. "
Mr. Kimball sat speechless. What ho
thought in the next live minutes could
not bo described , His bruin worked
with a speed and intensity to which it
was quite unaccustomed.
"I I hope you'll ' bo happy , " he stam
mered at last , fooling that something was
expected of him , und amiably desirous
of maintaining , as far us he could , the
genial , happy spirit of the occasion.
"I'm sure wo will , " Btiid Charley. "I
hope you will , too , "
Pretty soon the widow came in.
"Tho shortcake is baking. " Lucy said
she'd pick the berries and set the table ,
and sent me in to play lady and entertain
the company. "
Charley watc.hed hU opportunity and ,
slipped into the kitchen. The two moru
than mlddlo-agcd pcoplovoro thus left
to entertain each other , The sly boy
cupltl never had n bettor opportunity
given him.
The farmer had made up his mind
aualn. if ho couldn't have Lucy , lio'd
have her mother if ho could pot her.
"Come to think it all over , " ho told
himself , "that was the host plan by all
odds. "
Ho wondered ho could have been fool
ish enough to think of marrying a girl
twenty-one or two. The Idea was ridicu
lous.
"What's the use of waiting ? " thought
ho. "It might as well bo settled now as
nnv other time. "
"Hcstor " ho red again
, began , getting ,
"Charley and Lucy are going to get mar
ried. Why shouldn't wo ? "
Mr. Kimball blurted out the question
with startling emphasis.
"Why , Mr. Kimball ! " cried the widow ,
blushing so rosily that ho thought she
was prettier than her daughter.
"I came over on purpose to ask you , "
ho said , tell a most outrageous lib. "I
hotioyou haven't any objections. "
When Luoy came in half an hour later
to say tea was ready the farmer rose up ,
Mushing like n girl.nud jerked his thumb
toward tho"widowj then said , In a voice
that shook a little :
"That's your mother , Luoy. I moan
she's Mrs. Kimball , or going to bo. It's
all settled. "

ST. Louis , May HI. The crowd of curious
spectators exceeded that in attendance nu
any picvlous day at the Maxwell case this
morulntr.
The llrst witness was J. A. Frazer , of
Toronto , Canada , a portrait painter nnd
sculntor. Ho testified thnthe met Preller In
Toronto a year ago last February. He de
scribed I'reller as he knew him then , and
exhibited a portrait of him which he had
painted. The witness had visited tlio ceme
tery in company with one of the counsel for
the defense , and recognUed the body without
a doubt aslmlng Hint of 1'roller. Ho recog
nized tlio corpse bv the fnceand the peculiar
scar over the lett oyehrow. The witness also
identified two different photographs of
1'roller. The cross-examination failed to
couture the witness.
Detective Tracer , who traced Maxwell to
San Francisco and bronchi him back to this
city from Auckland , Now Xealand , produced
In court several articles ot clutliiiig marked
"C. A. I' . " ; a shirt covered witli blood and
badly torn , supposed to have been icmoved
from Prellci's body Immediately after the
murder. During thu passage from Auck
land Maxwell told him ho purchased these
things in Snu Francisco.
