New Yor, July 6.— The special train which carried the Sunpay Worip to Boston and other Eastern points yesterday arrived in the Boston depot of the New York and New England Railroad at 7:44 o'clock yesterday morning, after accom- plishing the fastest run on record between Metropolis and the Hub. The time occupied making the 229 miles was five hours and se minutes. For several days the people living in the along the railroad over which the train speculated on the probability of the WORLD being run on the schedule time. Railroadmen w recognized the difficulties' to be surmounted declared it impossible to run a train over the road in five hours. Other people were NOT so SKEPTICAL, and their assertions that it would be done caused interest among all the people living on the line, Thus it was that the unusually quiet towns on the New York and New Haven and the New York and New England Roads, were occup at dawn yesterday by ple who talked animatediy and anxiously looked for the locomotive and car w towards and then by them at terrific speed. Those aboard the train could hear faintly, now and then, the cheers of the people, but more often the sight of hats thrown into the air was the only evidence of the crowd's delight at witnessing the flying evidence of enterprise. There was one man whose surprise was only equaled by the gratification he felt at the success: of the accomplishment. He is Mr. W. G. Tabor. the Master Mechanic of the New York and New England road. His son is fireman on the engine which ran from Hartford to Boston. On Saturday night Mr. Tabor said to his son, “George, I will be at the cross-roadg at Dudley street. If you are on time I wil throw my hatinto the air.” At 7:41 o'clock the train dashed by this point. From the cab window a man was seen DANCING DELIGHTEDLY ON THE GREEN TURF, swinging a straw hat in the air. As the rushed by him, he shouted, “On time, by gosh!" The work of getting the WorLp into Boston be- fore the breakfast time of the Hubbites was the greatest ever accomplished by any newspaper. The last forms of the twenty-page paper were n stereotyped until after 1:30 o'clock yesterday m ing. Then the eight perfecting presses were Tue sheets were turned out with lightning rapidity until the N number for delivery in the East was run off. A score of men coun and carried the papers to two trucks to which were attached double teams, and these were started ou their journey to the Grand Central Depot shortiy after tue bell in old St. Paul's tolled the ſast uarter of the second hour of the Sabbath. Up in waiting staf who trip of the season were on board. The train was to start at 2:45, but at 2:87 o'clock all was in readiness. Time pieces were consulted, and an affirmative nod given to the conductor, who stood gazing expect- antly at the party, watch in hand. ignal was given and the start was made. 8 the train through the dark tunnel. Now the speed increased very gradually until the passengers feit almost as if they were flying. i “How fast, conductor?” “About a mile a minute,” was the reply, and each one looked at his neighbor. More and more overcast grew the sky and rain drops began to descend against the panes. The engine seemed to fairly leap as if im- patient to cover the miles at one bound. At 8:05 Mount Vernon whizzed by. The ride to Pelham was run in a minute more, and then two minutes later the new Rochelle depot rushed past the windows. Hark! What was tnat? Two loud, clear reports, and; THE CAR HEADED AND TOSSED with the suddenness with which the air brakes were applied. Anxious faces peered from the windows as the brakeman leaned forward from the rear platform. „All right.“ be yelled, and the engine snorted and again plunged forward. „A freight train's warning that she has gone on a siding out of our way,” was his answer to the ques- tioners. shot up into the overcast sky ahead. “A fire!” shouted the conductor, and in a minute two cottages were seen onthe left of the track burning fiercely from roof to celiar in tribute to the departed Fourth. The scene was now a weird on indeed, There was no sign nor sound o life ardund the burning buildings; naught but the crackling flames and roar of the fire. “Daylight!” shouted a passenger a minute after- ward. Yes, there it was. A gray streak on the eastern horizon, toward which the train rushed on- ward with advancing speed. But what is this that accompanies the dawn? A gray mist rolls swiftly ouward, and with a shriek the engine plunges into its clammy embrace, and darkness again ENSHROUDS THE FLYING TRALN. A moments halt at 3:24 for the Cos-’ cob drawbridge, and the train was off again. Stamford was reached at 8:28 and South Nor- walk at 3:37—forty-two miles in sixty minutes, in- two stops and the necessarily slow passage the tunvel.

On arriving MORMON REFORM. Joseph Smith, a Son of the Prophet, and the Polygamous Brethren. An Effort to Return to the Original Ways of the Church—The Josephites and Brighamites—The Prosecution of Polygamists. Special Cerresnondence of the Pest-Dispatch Sal Laxx, June 27.—Since the polygamous Mor- mons became convinced that the present prosecu- tions were not to be laughed off or dodged there has been a general advance of the lines of those worthy people who have long been fighting the evil by moral suasion. The Christian missions are unusually busy and several Josephite elders are here preaching in ways of the church. Much interest has been taken in those meetings, particularly amopg the Joseph- ites, and itis expected that great good will be ac- complished and bring them to the idea of Mormon- ism which Joseph Smith “the martyr” taught— that is nothing but a supplement to Obristianity— and they have always beenthe inveterate foes of the , Brighamites, or polygamists, The Josephites are .seattered through the Mississippi Valley and are a very goodly ple, who grieve in spirit over the degeneracy of their poly gamous brethren in Utah. Tae announce- ment that Joseph Smith, a son of the prophet whom Mormons of every description hold dear, would _ here, was received with great inter- est. and every time that he has spoken he has been greeted by large audiences made up of Josephites, Gentiles, Utah Mormons and Saints. The burden of his remarks has been that Israel is scattered and that there must be some great underlying cause. He has shown that in fifteen years after the discovery of the Book of Mormon there were more than 200,000 con- verts, and now, he says, fitty years later, there are not that many members of the church. After ex- plaining the hardships which the. brethren had suffered, he declared it to be his opinion that no improvement in the situation of affairs co expected unless Israel should return to the law. Reading freely from the Bible and from the Book of Mormon, and drawing comparisons between the condition of the people now and that of Israel when it had offended, he has argued that no one could ony. the truth of his assertion that the b WANDERED AWAY AFTER FALSE PROPHETS, and that there was no hope save in their imme- diate repentance and submission to the will of God. As some of the Utah Mormons, knowing the Josephites were | had warned their flocks to are of the Wolf,” Joseph Smith them for their lack of charity and fair dealing. and reproached them for their fondness for deception. Inreply to the charge that he was sectarian, he deciarea that he had rather be sectarian and right, than unsec- tarian and wrong, and when he denied that he was sectarian, he said that in 1860, when he began ministry, there were thirteen different sects claim- ing to be the original Mormons, wheeras there were now but two, Brighamites and Joseph- ites. He had united all the non-polygamists together, and they were prospering abundantly. Besides, quoting from the Bibleand the Book of Mormon to show that the Brighamites were wrong, Mr. Smith read law to the people and gave a very clear constitutional argument to show them that the authorities were right. Other members of his communion have brought arguments against the polygamy feature, and their sayings have had great weight. In his remarks the other evening, Joseph Smith was interrupted by some man in the aud- ience, who yelled: “itt can’t be a polygamist, I won't be a Nor- mon. : ‘ ld Suutt as ; rently con Stitt ed, 1c want no such religion. Mormonism Gan exist and has ex- isted without it.” Just what effect this sudden onslaught from the Josephites, which is as temperate and gentile as it impressive, will have, be h to say but it is evident that thishas set a great many of the Saints to thinking, and the increasing congrega- tions indicate that many of the Saints are willing to hear if not to be convinced. The recent decision of the Territorial Supreme Court, affirming the val- idity of the convictions already had, has had the effect of preparing the brethren for a NEW DISPENSATION OF SOME KIND. They still maintain their accustomed air of brava- do, but it is known that they are leaving no stone unturned to destroy the evidence against themselves. Nearly all polygamists’ wives go un- der assumed names, and scores of them are scat- tered all over the Territory in small settlements. Their husbands have succeeded of late in stimulat- ing them with greater courage and obstinacy than they have shown heretofore, and in three or four cases prosecutions have failed because the testi- mony which the “Government expected from these women has not a forthcoming. One of the latest arrests was that of F. H. Hansen of Pieasant Green, who is a dean of only six years residence in this country, and who has three wives, all of the same nationality as himself. He married his first in Denmark, and took the other two soon after coming here. Tue first wife thea refused to live with him and set up for herself on a little farm, One of the others lived with Hansen in his home, and the third was domiciled in a dug-out made in the side of a mouutain, where she had an interesting brood of chiidren. It was the first wife who test against Hansen, and on he evidence he is likely to get a long sentence. A phominent Mormon named John Jenks, whose friends have said he was net here, but for whom the authorities have kept a zealous look-out, was caught recently in a clever way. A Gentile business map, who had occasion to use Jenks’ telephoue one . noticed that the connection was wrong., aud before he could get it righted, he found Jenks was talking and that he supposed he was telling another Saint where to find him. The Gentile listened long enough to get the address and putting it im the hauds of a deputy marshal, JENKS WAS NABBED before he had a cuance to wonder if his friend was coming. It is little things like this for which the Saints hate the Gentile and that there is no love lost between day in the week.

LEAVEN WorRTH, Kan. Juiy 6.—A brief interview, has been obtained with Koman Nose, the renegade Sioux, who has cast his lot with the Cheyennes and has apparently devoted his energies to making trouble. He possesses a considerable following among the Cheyennes, and has led several raids on the cattle of the companies which have leased grazing land from the Cheyennes and Arapahoes His complaints are chiefly against the cattle com- panies, which, he asserts, have fenced in much of the best hunting land and forced the Indians to tramp over sterile plains in search of game. He claims that the payments made by the cattle com- panies tothe Cheyennes and Arapahoes are not fairly divided, and that tke cattle turned over to the Indians and branded to denote their ownership, are '“gobbled"’ by the bigger chiefs to the exclusion of the lesser ones. He believes that before long there will be a general Indian war and that the Indians might as well die fignting as to be driven about and hemmed in and starved by white men. The war, said he, will begin with the Cheyennes and Arapa- and then the Co oa, Apaches, Kiowas, and other tribes will jom and fight even to extermination. *’ * PD ne the cowboys trouble you much?” he was 6 “Yes,” he answered, “they have rifles and re- volvers and whisky, and shoot Indians when they get drunk, but Agent Dyer tells us that tne Great ‘ather at Washington wants usto give up our guns, and plow and plant and raise cattie. When we do that the cowboys and other bad white men will kill us and take away our property, for we will have no way to defend ourseives and the soldiers will not heip us. WANT UNCLE SAM TO BAY. The New Pian of the Tennessee Bendheld- ers to Secure Their Money. NASHVILLE, TENN., July 6.—The Tennessee debt is again a subject of discussion among New York capitalists aud plans are being considered for re- covering the face value of the outstanding obliga- tions of the State. Not being willing to accept any compromise since the rejection of the sixty cents and 6 per cent proposition of 1877, the syndicate of Tennessee bondholders, which contrels about $12,- 000,000 of the bonds, decided to risk a lawsuit with the railroads. They Were not discouraged by the adverse decision from the United States Supreme Court recently, but bave siruck upon anether plan by which they hope to realize more than the Stato proposes to pay. It is proposed by the syndicate to have Congress appropriate all the surpius Fed- eral revenues to the use of the States, it being pro- vided that any due and adjudicated or undisputed claim against any State may be flied witu the Treasurer for payment before the fund is dis- tributed to suca State.
