STEWART, Secretary. A Hundred and Forty Religions. From the Providence Journal. Tne census announcement that there are 140 religious bodies in the United States, exclusive of many independent congregations, will be received with, some surprise by most people, whose knowledge of different sects does not embrace more than a dozen, or twenty at the most. In the list as disclosed by the pre liminary bulletin Issued by the Census Bureau from Washington are the General-Slx-Prin-clple Baptists, the schwerkt'eldians, the Theosophical Society, the Life and Advent Union, and others which, to a majority of people, will be entirely new.

With 140 creeds formally adopted and "many independent organizations' with their own notions besides, the tasS of those who favor church union Is difficult indeed. If only the more numerous denominations existed, the labor of effecting a unity of churches with regard to polity and the more essential doctrines might be easier; but what shall be said when 100 little denominations, sturdy in their beliefs and customs, are In the field, loth to give TKTTE BILLS FOUND AGAINST FEED SWAINE AND GEOBGE O'BEIXLY. The Two Iiabor Men Who Collected Money from Women of the Town to Push a Bill Which Would Better the Women's Condition Indicted for Fraud. FredW. Swalne and George J.

O'Reilly are again In trouble. The January Grand-Jury which yesterday rendered a final report of Its wort of the past three weeks, Indicted both Swalne and O'Keilly on the charge of fraud. J. UiU WW (4.0 rw bu avv Indictments returned but was at once pigeonholed by the clerk. The action was taken on account of the fact that the defendants were at large and the usual necessary precautions were taken.

This morning, however, the news of the action leaked out. The warrant Is now In the hands of the Sheriff for service. WHO THET ARE. Fred H. Swalne is a well-known labor agitator and petit politician.

For years he has passed as a leader In the various labor movements Inaugurated in St. Louis and was swept by the labor tide of 18S8 into a Representative's seat in the Missouri Legislature. His term expired with the opening of the present session. George J. O'Keilly owes his standing, whatever that maybe, to his' connection with Swalne and other labor agitators.

For the past year he has posed at the head and front of a newspaper bureau which Is known to the public principally through the cards which that gentleman distributed. On the afternoon of Dec. 7, 1890, Detectives Lawler and Howard of headquarters arrested Swalne and O'Reilly and placed them In the Central District hold-over at the Four Courts. A few days before complaints had been lodged In the offices of Chief of Police Harrlgan and Chief ot Detectives Desmond to the effect that the men had been making the rounds of questionable bouses, collecting money on the strength of statements to the effect that they could and would pass through the State Legislature a bill which would greatly Improve the conditions of the women of the town. The prisoners, when questioned In the office of Chief Desmond, made no denial of these statements and persisted that such an act would be passed.

A search or Swaine's person brought to light a copy of the proposed bill. It was simply a revised edition of the "Social Evil Act," repealed several years ago, and provided that a certain part of the city be set apart for the use of abandoned women, all of whom should be properly registered. A quantity of questionable literature and a notorious guide-book were taken from O'Reilly. From Swalne was taken a memorandum book the contents of which furnished considerable food for the political gossips of the city. One of the entries was to the effect that during the session of the Legislature of 1889 Messrs.

Bevls and Davis had $1,000 with which to defeat the milk Inspection bill. It Is also recorded that Messrs. L. A. Steber and Senator Stone offered Tom Martin $300 with which to "fix" the Representative who championed the measure, the next memoranda recorded that the business was done, but all of the gentlemen whose names were mentioned, Indignantly repudiated both Swalne and his memoranda.

Another item In the book chronicles the payment by well-known politicians, of sums ranging from $250 to $1,500 for the support of the Labor party in their candidacy for the various city offices to which they aspired. SPEST EIGHT HOURS JS JATD. Swalne and O'Reilly spent eight hours In the noisome depths of the hold-over. Their friends and attorney offered bond, but it was not taken. The next day two warrants were Issued jointly charging the defendants with fraud.

The prosecuting wlt-neses In these actions were Pearl Dumont and Mollle English, both landladies. The women stated that Swalne and O'Reilly called at their places and stated that they could pass the social evil act, and wanted money to pay the expenses. They presented a subsbrlption list bearing the names of other landladies who. It Is alleged, they represented as having affixed their signatures and paid the amounts set opposite their names. On the strength of these statements the woman subscribed to the fund.

Pearl Dumont paying down $30 and Mollie English giving up $15. Both stated to the police that the reason they gave the men this money was on account of the other women being In the movement. In the Court of Criminal Correction Judge Claiborne dismissed the case when called, holding that the evidence was not of sufficient strength. Swalne was arrested again as he left the court-room and created something of a sceiie in the corridor by his resistance to Detectives Lawler and Howard. He was kept for four hours in the hold-over and then released.

Recently he demanded of the police authorities all of the papers taken from his person at the time of the arrest. He then took the case Into the court of a Justice, and caused the Issuance of a writ of replevin against Chiet of Police Harrlgan, Chief of Detectives Desmond and Detective Lawler. It appears that the department was not satisfied with Judge Claiborne's ruling In the matter and took the action before the January Grand -Jury. On the strength of the evidence there submitted an indictment was returned charging Swalne and O'RelUy with fraud in the obtaining of $15 from Mollle English. It Is probable that the defendants will be taken Into custody some time this afternoon or evening.

SWAINE ARRESTED. swaine was arrested this afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Keevll and the Deputy Sheriff permitted him, under bis guard, to seek for bond. STRUCK A SNAG.

rw-rsT. "huiuj luis MORNING. A Sudden and Sharp Advance Causes the fco -ttusn to cover-Causes of the Jcitement-Dealers Who Are Watched With Interest Outsiders Suffer. There was more excitement on the floor of the Merchants Exchanim thio i there has been for a long time past, and the 1 usueu to cover with startling rapidity. For some time oast fh IU1IO of the market has been rier-irimv bearish.

The prospects for the July crop were excellent, and it was hoiiaro ww btlU. I AAA view of this May wheat was certain to de tune. week the price dropped to 93, and a further decline was generally predicted. In the meantime, however, conditions were very materially altered. The market had been Immensely oversold In anticipation of a decline, and a few shrewd traders had taken advantage of It causes of the advance.

Scarcely any wheat has come In, and the stock on hand has steadily been running down. The reports of the approach of a cold wave brought matters to ahead, and there was a stampede of shorts to cover. The market shot up rapidly, and May wheat sold at $1, the highest point that It has touched for many weeks. Speculators were generally short both May and July hurried to cover in both, but the rush for May was far the largest. A feature of the market has been the heavy speculation by outsiders, nearly all of whom were short May wheat, and among these men a veritable panic ensued.

Those who had made money on the down turn In wheat were busily engaged in drawing it out of bank and putting It up as margins. traders involved. The Art Club was closely watched, but it Is the general opinion that while Its members are short July wheat, that they have no Interest In the May deal. But the man whose operations excited the greatest Interest was John W. Kauffman, who Is well known as the plunger of the profession.

Traders were endeavoring to ascertain on which side of the market he was, but this was difficult to do. It Is known that at one time he was heavily short of May, and some of those who were In this predicament looked for some move on his part to check the advance. None came, and It Is currently reported that none will come, as many believe that he covered his shorts some time ago, and Is now on the other side of the market, having a heavy line of long wheat. It is said that he covered his shorts In Chicago and that the advance Is largely due to his purchases. BUYING AGAINST CHICAGO SALES.

There has been a great deal of buying against Chicago sales, and while the price of May wheat In this market has been from to 2 cents below that of Chicago, to-day it Is 1 and cents above. Some are of the opinion that Kauffman and one or two other heavy operators are long here and short In Chicago. The current gossip Is that the United elevators, the barge lines and the exporters are long. The tone of the market Is very excited and nervous, and the bears are badly scared, while the longs are exceedingly confident. The country lias little, If any, Interest In the advance, the deal being purely a professional one and nearly entirely confined to St.

Louis. It has been one trader against from the start. No one Is in trouble yet, and all Interested are believed to be in good shape, so that no failures are anticipated, although some dealers, have lost heavily. Fitzporter in a ew Role.

A carpenter's right shoulder is almost In variably higher than his left in consequence of having to use his tight arm all the time in planing and hammering. With every shaving his shoulder rises with a Jerk, and it finally comes natural to him to hold himself in that way, says the Detroit DttrvU Fret Press. The right arm of a blacksmith, for the same reason, is almost hypertroph led, while the left arm, from disuse, becomes atrophied. A shoemaker is almost always round-shouldered from continually bending over the last between his knees as he sews and.

hammers. The head of a bricklayer's laborer Is held aloft with a haughty, self-reliant air. from bis habit of carrying a hod on his shoulder ana loosing a cove mm as ne climbs up the scaffolding. All good orator have most abnormally wide mouths. This is the direct consequence of their habit of usin? sonorous words and speaking with deliberation and correct pronunciation.

If one practices this before the glass one can see that the muscles In the cheeks are stretched more than ordinarily, and the mouth is extended a great deal more than everyday conversation, men, too, nature has something to do with It. A large mouth, like a prominent nose. Is a sign of power. Cowboys and cavalrymen are usually bow-legged. But all bowlegged people are not tuwuori ior wnicn tney snouia oe graienu.
