THE BROOKLYN DAILY A GLE SUNDAY, APRIL .1888. CITY PAST0ES AND PEOPLE FINANCIAL REVIEW. SECEET SOCIETY NOTES. estimate and issued for speculative effect The heaviest losses have undoubtedly been borne by the "Soo" and other routes which inaugurated the flgbt No estimate of the damage done the Burlington by thi strike has yet been made, but it Is probable that Chicago speculators will very soon be equal to the task of making a calculation in tho hopo of influencing the market value of stocks. Special telegrams to BradslneVs present some striking contrasts as to tho condition of general trade.

It Is qnlet and generally disappointing at Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Pittsburg. At Louisville trade is leas active. San Francisco and Denver report quite an active business. St Louis, Kansas City and Omaha regard the situation encouraging and highly satisfactory. At Cincinnati trado is fair, with a stronger tone in some lines.

No "improvement ia noted iu the Iron trade. Steel rail orders have been taken at 50 cents reduction. At tho East the dry goods trado lacks animation and prices bavo lost their pronounced strength. The jobbing movement Is fair. The following is a copy of a market letter sent to tho Interior to day: The outpour of long stocks continuoa and tho only wonder is that thebreaks In the general list have not beon greater than thoy havobeeu so far.

Some special Btocks have gone trubling down at a fearful rate, but those properties which aro not manipulated by pools have so far stood Lho racket wonderfully well bi 'causo, perhaps, there has as yet beon no pressuro to sell them. That no ono beliuves that the Missouri Pacific dividend was paid out of actual oarnlng.n gooa without saying and it Is freely rumored that some of the lareo holders of the sLock chipped In and paid the dividend in tho hope that its declaration aud pay mont would act favorably on tho price ot the stock, but so far they have been disappointed, for although the price has not declined materially since the dividend was declared it has failed to a lvanco excopt on shorts buying in, showing that there are more sellers than ouyers oven at 75, which is a very low price for a 6 per cent, stock. When almost everyone ia bearish it would neem but natural that somo very sharp rallies ought to come, and the fact that tho recoveries aro so small and short lived would indicate that the pools have either lost their grip or their courageprobably both. A rumor from Chicago says that tho strike Is extending, and that bofore tho new week is vory old there will not be a railroad west of Chicago that can move a train excepiiug tho United States mail. Chicago telegrams, ho mover, are almost invariably sensational, and they are generally diaur edited because speculators there are short of stocks aud all the reports emanating from that center are simple ruQections of the opinion of tho parties in iuteresL The following table shows the course of tho stock market for the week ondiug March 31 2.

It is said to be tho first attempt ever hoard of where a lecturer gives a lecture illustrated throughout by costumed characters of the olden times. A most extraordinary state of affairs has existed at the Twelfth street Reformed Church for some timo past. It will be romemborod that this church lost Its pastor, tho Rev.

U. D. Guliok, during the Winter. Soon after his withdrawal tho officers of the cliuroh, oldors, deacons aud all, had a meeting which, as it progressed, became very stormy. Then official attor official got up and resigned his place, uutll the church was left without one officor.

Theu tho meeting adjourned. This resolved the society into an organization on paper, and no one could Join the church, no ono could withdraw, they couldn't hire a minister couldn't pay one In fact, as one man expressed it, the society had dropped into a state of "innocuous desuetude." Last Monday evoning, notwithstanding the tact that tho storm had not yet wholly subsided and that the elements were full of rain, a certain number of the members most Interested in the welfare of the church got together and votod in now officers. The affair has boen kept very quiet. A Dutch Reformed minister of Nyack, N. is filling the pulpit Just now, and it is pretty generally believed that when a vote is taken for a now pastor he will bo the man.

Tho Rev. Mr. Guliok in tho meantime is serving a largo church at Jamaica, L. and it looks as though he would be called thero permanently. The Brooklyn and Long Island Preachers' Meet ing will hold a sesslou In the lecturo room of the Fleet street Church to morrow at 10:45 A.

The council is growing rapidly and many applications aro being received at every meeting.

Matters Clerical, Lay, Musical and Social. Brooklyn's Representation in the New Unitarian Club Choir Chanires News and Notes as to Various Denominations. The past week has been a hard one for singers aud musicians connected with the church choirs and especially so in all the Catholic and Episcopal churches. The number of rehearsals required In the preparation of tho grand musical performances which will be rendered throughout the city to day, and the many little perplexities which present themselves, are best kuown to those inside the choir railings. Not only have the rehearsals boen frequeut.

but In many churches the choirs have boen called upon to take part in services every day during the week. Few, if any, changes will occur in the ohoirs before the 1st of May. A bass is wanted at the Church of the Saviour (Unitarian) on Pierrepont street, to take the place of Mr. Steins, who was compelled to resign a few weokB ago on account of 1)1 braltb, after nearly twenty years of sorvice at this one church. The Music Committoe has had under consideration the name of Mr.

Francis Walker, a successful basso, of New York. Mr. Walker has sung at private muslcalos in Brooklyn during the Winter. Just now ho has charge of the chorus singing in tho first act of "La Tosca'1 ut the Broadway Theater, New York. Mrs.

Bacon, the soprano at the Clinton avenue Church, It is understood, will rotlro on May 1, and McPhersou, of the Hanson place Baptist Church, will take her place. Mr. Walker, the choir master and organist at tho Church of the Messiah, has boen engaged for another year. Mr. Georgo Worreurath, tho choir loader at Plymouth Church, aud the Music Commltteo have been listening to candidates for the coming year during tho past ten days, and it is expected that the selections and arrangements will bo completed about the iniddlo of tho woek.

Mr. Werronrath, as was announced in these columns a fow weeks siuco, has accepted the position of choir master at the Tompkins aventio Congregational Church. Mr. Walton Ellis, of the SummerQold Methodist Episcopal Church, on Washington avenue, will succeed Mr. Werrenrath at Plymouth.

Mr. Ellis will not bo a stranger to tho congregation aud especially the younger olomont, with whom he won considerable popularity at ono time as leader of tho music in tho Sunday school. At tho mornlug service last Sunday Miss Bowon, a uioce of Edwin A. Bowou, sang a most difficult solo, in wliich she did herself much crodit and seemed to impress tho congregation most favorably. Alias Bowon has a good voice.

A fow years ago she was engagod In the McCaull Opera Company. The Music Committee of Plymouth Church has Miss Bowen's name under favorable consideration, but whether 'It has actually engaged her or not could not be ascertained. Clubs, without the conventional club life, seem to be in favor in clerical circles this year. The Presbyterians have a well organized club, the Cou gregatioualists have ono, but it is so very young that it has hardly discarded long clothes. Now, the leading Unitarian divines aud laymen of New York and Brooklyn have Just organized a club for ihe promotion of closer fellowship among Unitarians, concentration and unity of action and the furtherance of the general interests of the denomination.

Tno idea of organizing a club Iu New Tork and Brooklyn was suggested by the success of the Unitarian Club of Boston, which has exclusively a lay membership, though tho clergymen are always present. Tho Boston Club was organized six yoars ago, and it has succeeded in eroctiug a Unitarian building at a cost of $150,000, boaide sotting on foot an important movement for the education ot boys. The new club will have three or four dinners a year, when a paper or an address will be heard, followed by tho discussion of questions and measures of practical importance. Its membership is limited to 150, and that number is already niled. There aro about fitly Brooklyn Unitarians in the club and its ofllcers are as follows: Ex Governor tj.

H. Chamberlain, president; Mr. George Vllllam Curtis and Mr. Dorman B. Eaton, vice presidents; Rov.

Stephen H. Camp, of Unity Church, Brooklyn, secretary, and Mr, Charles II. Plukham, treasurer. Tho first dinner will be held on tho second Wednesday In April at the Metropolitan Hotel in New York. Speeches will bo made by George William Curtis, ox Governor Robinson, of Massachusetts; Edward Everett Hale, of Boston, and tho Rev.

Dr. Robert Collyer, of New York. Dr. Lyman Abbott Is home from the South and will occupy Plymouth pulpit again this morning. Plymouth is the last ohurch to adopt tho custom of having aunouncemonts printed on slips placed in the pews instead of being read from the pulpit.

In no less than half a dozen of the leading churchos this custom now prevails and is considered a most admirablo one. Its good point is that it materially lessens tho length of the service. It i3 not a pleasant thing for the ordinary churchgoer, whose object in attending the service is to listen to tho music and a good sermon, to be told for fifteen minutes what this and that society connectod with tho church are going to do for tho next six days. All noilcos aro handed to tho clerk of the church by Friday and appear ou a neatly printed programmo Sunday morning. This Is ovon more effective than the verbal announcement, because it can bo taken homo aud referred to during tho week.

The Board of Doacons of Plymouth Church has decided upon six rogular collections to be taken iu the church in the course of the year, one of them being for tho City Mission and Tract Society and the other five for Congregational boards, including tho Home Missionary Society. A sub committee of tho deacons has been appointed to consldor all applications for permission to take special collections in tho church. The Rev. Dr. Henry J.

Van Dyke returns to his pulpit at the Second Presbyterian Church to day much refreshed after a three weeks' sojourn in the Suuny South. Upon an invitation from the Independent Presbyterian Church, of Savannah, Dr. Van Dyke occupied its pulpit two Sundays. The Independent Church is among the most historic religious edifices of the South. It has stood in the heart of the city for seventy eight years, and the ground upon which it stands was given by George IL In 1756.

Dr. Axson, who has beon Its pastor lor thirty years, has Just resigned. This was tho first time Dr. Van Dyke had visited Savannah In thirty years, and yet thero were some members of the congregation who came forward after the sermon aud said tha; they were glad to hear him again. Tho doctor noted many changes, and was much impressed with the wonderful development of the cotton manufactories.

During Dr. Van Dyke's absence his pulpit was supplied by Dr. urray, of Princeton, aud Dr. Holli Jay, of this city. In the last number of tho Christian at Work there appeared a vigorous editorial on "The Obstacles to 'Visiblo Unity" from Dr.

Van Dyke's pen. The Rev. Dr. D. V.

M. Johnson, of St Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church, on Classon avenue, is one of the oldest rectors in the diocese, yet he maintains his old time vigor and popularity as a preacher and worker. In response to an appeal to the parishioners a debt of $3,000, whioh has boen hanging over the parish, has been wiped out, aud Dr. Johnson ia iu a happy state of mind in consequence. The weekly contributions have been materially increased, and it Is expected that the EaFter offerings to day will be quite liberal.

The Sunday services are largely attended and the music was never better. There is a surplicod choir of forty vofceB, uudor the careful training of Choirmaster T. J. P. Peacock.

Tho Rev. Alfred Poolo Grint, who has been Dr. Johnson's faithful assistant for threo years, has Just accepted a call to a prosperous little parish at Warehouse Point, Conn. Tho now SL Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church, now building on Bedford avenue, between Lafayette and DoKalb avenues, will be a notable additlou to the many handsome edifices in that part of the city, when complotod. The style of architecture Is Gothic and tho material Is of brick with stone trimmings, the front being of pressed brick, while the roof is of slate.

The tower and spire rise in the middle of the front of the edifroe and there are three entrances to a spacious lobby trimmed with ash. The Sunday school, infant and Bible class rooms lu tho basement are most conveniently and attractively arranged, and will accommodate about 800 children. The seating capacity of the auditorium is increased by a gallery and the church will seat a congregation of 1,000. The orgau and choir arrangements are at the rear of tho gallery. The floor Is amphitheatered.

The edifice is being fitted with cathedral glass windows of pleasing designs and soft colors. Tbe trescoing of the interior is such as to give a cheerful aspect. The new edifice is 107 feet In length and sixty two feet wide. The height from tbe ground to the finlal of the spire Is 187 feet. Three large chime hells hare boen placed in the The Feast of the Paschal Lamb Celebrated in New York.

The The Course of the Markets During March. Leading Features of the Movement A Downward Tendency This TV0ek Exchange Easy and Money in Good Supply. Wall Street, Saturday ovoning, March 31.

The leading features of the markets for the month of March embrace vigorous cutting of rates in tho West, inaugurated by tho "Soo" route, wliich involved all tho granger roads aud continued until toward the close of the month, when there was an agreement to suspend fighting and to restore rates; tho reorganization ot the Chesapeake and Obio; the commencement on February 27 of a strike of engineers and firemen in tho employ of tho Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, which was defeated before tho middle of March by tho company securing a full force of men who did not owe allegiance to tho Brotherhood of Engineers; the attempt on tho 26th still further to cripple tho Burlfugtou by inducing tho switchmen to strike; tho decisions of Judges Gresham and Dundy to the effect that strikers had no right to interfere with the attempts to oporate roads endeavorlug to discharge their duties as common carriers; tho official announcement ou tho 14th of the ending of the strike of Heading employes; the collapse of tho strike ou tho Lehigh Valley; the suow blizzard of March 12, whlcn for nearly three days pluced an embargo upon alt the transportation routes in and around this city, and, return of Jay Gould from his European trip, and concurrently the cyclone which struck the market on tho 23rd and played havoc with Missouri PaciQc and all tho other Gould specialties. Exchange was steady to strong during the month, and on the 27th $300,000 gold was exported, but this was not strictly on exchango operation. Money on call ranged between 6 and per with S' as about the average, and time loans wero in fair request at from 4 to 5j por ceut. according to the dates from sixty days to six mouths, but tho offerings were chiefly by out of towu banks and other institutions. Commercial paper was of slow sale and very little was taken by the New York banks.

During the first few days of the moath Reading was unsettled and woak, in eonsoqueucu of reports of a decrease iu net earnings in January and the Ve3t0rn rate war, and the Ihroaton'ug aspect oE affairs on thoCuieago, Burlington nod Qulncy had a depressing influence upon ail tho granger stocks. In the week ending March 10 Un tendency was generally downward, In cousoquotvo of purdlsteuc attacks by the bears, accompauiod by dlsquletoning reports from the West, and aho rumors of the critical condition of the Emperor William of Germany, but tho death of Uat monarch had very little effect either here or iu the European markets. During tho noxt week business on tho exchange was suspended for two days by reason of the snow embargo, and for the remainder of tho wook the tone was generally strong, iu consequence of purchnsos for European account. The news of tho strik on tho Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fo and rumors of troublo ou tho Union Pa citic made the market irregular on Friday, but there was a better feeling on Saturday. During the third weok tho news, until Wednesday, favorod a rise, tho strike on the Quiucy having practically en led, and managers of Western roans agreeing to restore rates.

On the above named day au attack was made upon Missouri Pacific, which was so successful that it kept the market unsettled to tho close. Mr. Jay Gould returned to this city on Fri aay. The course of the market for the closing week Iu the month will be found recorded below. Comparing sales of stocks at the opening, March 1, with those at tho close.

St. liWestera Union 54 Stocks have beon Irregular aud generally lower this week. Missouri Facille was favorably influenced on Monday morning by tho statement by Mr. Gould that ho favorod the payment of a quarterly dividend of per cent, on Missouri Pacific, and the stock opened at an advance, which was well maintained. But the boars turned tlielr attention to Reading, which was freely sold on the report, subsequently confirmed, that the statement for February would show a loss in net of over $500,000.

Iu tho afternoou the bulla carried the market upward, uudor tho load of St Paul and Lnckawanna and the tone was generally strong until the lato trade, whan It became heavy. On Tuesday the declaration of the dividend ou Missouri Pacific had no particular effect, but the market was geuorally strong during the morning. In the afternoon free selling of the Grangers, Reading and tho other coal shares had a partially unsettling effect, but in the late trade tho market was a little firmer and It so closed. On Wednesday the featuro in the oarly trade was free soiling of Heading and subsequently of the Grangers and Lackawanna, which made the market unsettled. Tho tone was heavy in tho afternoon.

The Granger. woro affected by tha refusal of tho Burlington to restore rates and the coal shares by a report that there would bo no agreement to restrict production for the ensuing yoar. The market closed unsettled, in consequence of a fall iu Lnke Shore and iu Central Now Jersey. On Thursday the tone was feverish at tho opening aud in the early tradetbut theoversold condition of the market aided the bulls in advancing prices and it was generally strong until noar tho close, when It became irrogular In consequence of an assault upon Heading and Consolidated Gas, and it so closed. There was no market ou Friday.

This morning disquieting rumors from Chicago, representing that there was no safety for railroad employes except uudor the protection of the militia aud that tho switchmen ou rho St Patu had struck, induced tho bears to attack tho Grangers and Lako Shore aud the market was unsettled during nearly the whole of the morning until toward noon, when the tone became a littlo better, although the market was feverish at the close.
