Since the death of Mr. Alexander T, Stewart and the creation of the new firm of Messrs. A, T. Stewart & Co. the principal topic of conversation among the lead- ing merchants in the dry goods business in New York and, perhaps, throughout the world, has been “the probable future policy of the firm.” The promptness of the formation of the new rm was a complete sur- prise to the mercantile community, and the announced “considetacion” for which ex-Judge Hilton’ became the representative of the millionnaire merchant became a matter of wonder, Gradually the problems are bemg solved. Mr. William Libbey, of the firm of <A, T. Stewart &. Co. explained to a Heraup reporter’ yesterday that he declined to give any further information relative to the formation of the new firm, except that it was made in compliance with the wishes of Mr, Stewart, which were fully expressed, discussed and settled years ago. Mr, Stewart named the amount to be paid, and provided for it. Every wish expressed by the deceased merchant will be strictly com, plied with. In general conversation among the mem- bera of the trade, and from other — sources | believed to be authentle, the following items of interest have been gathered:—The will of Mr. Stew- art left certain legacies to certain friends and employés. These legacies are to bo paid to the pergons designated within a few days. Of the large number of employés who have faithfully served Mr, Stewart during the terms specified in bis will, and of whom he says ‘‘to each of those whokave been in my omployment for the period of twenty years shall be paid $1,000, while to euch of those who have been with me for ten years shall be paid $500," 1% has been ascertained that the proper persons are now going over the books of the late firm to ascertain their names and length of service, and the bequests will be paid by the new firm as soon ag the schedule is completed and approved. THE MILL PROPERTY. Beyond the real estate in New York, amounting to something over $10,000,000, an interesting feature of the busineas of the old firm, and now under the man- agement of the successors, is the miil property. The most important is that known as the Glenham Mills, at Fishkill, N.Y. These were formerly the property of the Glenham Manutacturing Company, organi: in 1828 by John Jacob Astor, Poter Sctionck and two others. The origmal capital was $140, nd the business Was the manufacture of woollens for men’s use. About 300 acres of land were owned by the com- pany. The miils were built of stone and brick, the machinery was new and in fine order. About 600 operatives were employed, aud the company owned dwellings sulicient to accommodate all of the fainilies | working for them, Between the yours 1860 and 1873 best Brivish machinery, all ot which, it is claimed, was made from the protitwof the business. In. September, 1873, the company fulled tor about $1,200,000. It was supposed at that time that the property would sell for about $600,000. The paper was held largely by the banks in New York. A. despatch from Philadelphia, in September, 1873, announced the suspension of Benjamin Bullock’s Sons in consequence of the failure of tho Glenbam Company, which owed them about $600,000, In 1875 the miils and grounds were sold to Mr. Alex. ander T, Stewart ior $195,000 cash, Since that time extensive improvements have been made there. Last March a New York building firm contracted to build @ new spinning mill on the property.: The building | of the spinning mill 18 10 be 300x60 feet, three stories high; tho weaving house, 240x103, with of one story,” with tower; scouring building, 8] tights, 840x58; magazive or fireproot storehouse, x75, four stories, Which will require about 3,000,006 ment, is to contuin a steam engive of 700 horse power, with seven boilers attached, each of 100 horse power, Jor heating purposes, &c., besides two of the largest sized turbine water wheels; the chimney will be 140 feet high; there will be accommodation jor 8,000 tons of coal.

LAST DAY OF THE REVIVAL AT THE HIPPOo DROME," Yesterday was the last day of the Hippodrome meete ings, and the crowds that congregated around the build- ing could only be counted by tens of thousands, At the noonday meeting, which was opened by the singing of the hymn, ‘Sweet Hour of Prayer,’’ a number of ree quests for prayer were read by Rev, Dr. Hepworthy among them one from a lonely sister far away in Europe and far away from Christ. An almost countless number were from disconsolate wives for intemperate husbands, and many from sisters for their only brothers. Rey. Dr. Conckiyn offered the prayer, calling on God to bless the people who had attended these meetings during the past ten weeks, and also to bless those who were trying to work this great and wicked city from ite centre to its circumference tn the cause of Christ. Aiter Dr, Concklyn's address Mr, Moody came forward and said that $75,000 out of the $200,000 had yet to be | raised and he expected to raise it that day. Ho thought there would be no difficulty when the Christian people of New York would become aware of the neces sity of keeping up the work that had already been ine augurated. Mr, Moody's sermon yesterday afternoon, when at least 9,000 people were present, was on “Christian Work.” He said there was no use of imagining that the work had stopped now. This was only the beginning of it, All the tey weeks had been occupied in preaching and praying and bringing souls to Christ, but now com. menced the work of those who ‘were converted by the preaching and the singing and the praying, They were to go out among all men and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Him cracified, and, though they might be scoffed at, looked down upon, sneered at or laughed at, etil remain disciples of the Lord Jesus, who saved them. This was their mission and their life, Tn Titus iii, 8, we find—“This isa faithfal saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly that they which have believed in God might be caretul to main- | tain good works, These things are good anu profitable unto men.” This is what we want; men who are capable to maine tain good works. Let them come and do good to them who are poorer than they. If these men who are ov loaded with riches would just sit in their offices and send their clerks to those who are doing God’s work it would be no more than what is right. Why sbould the servants of the Lord be running after the sons of Mams mon? These men should be running after the men who do the work of the Lord, that they may: have place an the kingdom to come. Last night at half-past seven o'clock the Madison avenue hall was filled and the front doors were not opened at all. All those, therefore, who occupied the hall had procared tickets during the last few days, which were intendod for converts only. About a quar- ter to eight the services commenced with the ging of the thirty-ninth hymn, “1 love to tell the story,” and then, after a prayer by Rev. Dr. Booth, Mr, Sankey sung, “Shall wo meet beyond the river?” + Mr. Moody spoke on the werd “Able.” He said:— If you, young convert, in the morning of your Christian experience, learn this one lesson, that Carist is able to fake ro Stand, that is all youwant. He was ableio make Daniel stand, He was able to make John Bun- yan stand, But it all ties with yourself: Once we rely on ourselves to stand, however, then comes the day of vengeance and tribulation. The only thing is to keep close to Christ, Many a man fulls into sin, but yet he is not lost; for the world and the Chursh expects more from a man.than he can give. If you are overtaken in a fault go to God and contess. There is one thing you mast guard yourself against, und that is self conf- dence, Short accounts make good friends, Keep a short account with God. See the face of your Heaven: Father betore you see the face of man, and don’t wali out in the morning before you have scttled the uccount with God. Mr. Moody said, in conclusion, if there was anything during all these meetings he had to be thankful for it was the utter want of any Le of sectarianism. Baptists, Methodists, Cougregationalists, Presbyterians, Episco- palians, all sects met at these meetings on one com- mon footing, the love of the Lord Jesus Christ, and, therefore, as Christians, and he hoped it would nied be so, this princy of unity, “Th ah said Mr. Moat me will see" the day when the Roman ‘atholics = will join swith ui Christians ag any among us, an that all who stund by that blessed Name will advance | fa solid colamo against the works of the world, the flesh and the devil, Betore going | wish to asl the blessing of gion if God on the reporters, with. out whose kind co-operation this work would have obtained its magnitude im New on the policomen who guarded the and the firemen who exerted all their powers to prevent accident. And now, alter ten weeks, let us all ray lor the reporters, the policemen and the firemen, jor all have done their duty. Let us bow our heads in silentiprayer,"’ The whole amount subscribed and collected up ta ten o'clock last night for the purposes previously mentioned by Mr, Moody was $143,000. The larger part of this amount is a conditional sub- scription, or the ibility of raising the amount required, $200,000, by the Young Men’s Christian As- sociation, The actual money collected on Tuesday and yesterday would hardiy reach $10,000. There ‘was a very fe and efficient choir last night, and Mr. Sankey, before loaving, expressed his thunks to all the singers, und satd if he should never see them in this world again he hoped tosee them on the morning of the resurrection. In conclusion, he sung & hymn commencing, Farewell, faithful friends, We must now bid adieu, ir of “Home, Sweet Home."? MRS. VAN COTT, REVIVALIST. Mrs, Van Cott, the revivalist, who has been holding forth belore moderately large audiences at the Warren street Methodist church, Brooklyn, since last week, an- nounces her intention of taking her departure from that city on Monday next. Her engagements extend over two years, Mrs. Van Cott complains that as a general rale the ministers do not support her work, “They all seem,” she says, ‘‘to have ap antipathy toa woman en- to the gaging 1u the work of saving souls, and, Iam sorry ta Say, too many of them make my efforts the subject of mockery and sneers,"” She desires to be dist un- derstood as not doing this work for money. Meetings are held daily by Mrs. Van Cott at the War- ren street Methodist church, BENEVOLENT YOUNG WOMEN.
