rian churches in Baltimore were filed
by members of the General Assembly OF
the Southern Presbyterian Church now
in session here. They also preached in
other churches. In the afternoon there

Bullock.
Tomorrow the Assembly will take up
the case OF Rev. DR.. James Woodrow, OF
South Carolina. He was removed from
a theological school because Of his utter
ance on evolution, which removal was
sustained by the synod. He now brings
his complaint before the General As
sembly, which has determined to hear
it. II is asserted by his friends that he
is a thorough Calyinist, and his utter
ances were not such as to merit the ac-
ton against him.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2O.-Republi-
cans are getting considerable amusement
out Of the Pot, the Democratic organ
here and the leading morning daily.
For some time it has contained editorial
souibs which lookcdl like bold and very
indiscreet concentrations OF the auto
cratic and vengriul method Of forcing
superior the part Of the administration,
Of which good example is the veto Of
the Allentown public building bill.
"Thcre is IN Allentown for every Sow
den" cxclaims the Post, with apparent
exultaton. "Thc New York machine
was not strong enough to force an en-
dorscment OF the Mills bill" 1t COM
plains, and urges that the administra-
tion screw be given another turn. This
morning its editorial compared Cleve-
land with the first Napoleon, who, when
the Pope was about to place the crown
upon his head in Rome, took the head
piece from the Holy Father and crowned
himself. The entire article was q
covert snecr, very neatly put, and is at
tributed to the able and facile pen OF Mr..
Stils0n llutchins.
The Ersning Critic also, which is said
TO be controlled by Mr.. Hutchins, has
begun to run amuck with Cleveland,
and Just now the President is without
an organ here, and no Democrat seems
to have enough capital to talk OF starting

CHICAGO, May 2O.-Thomas Barrett,
private watchman, was shot and killed
at his residence this forenoon under
mysterious circumstances, and the police
have so far been unable TO determine
who did the shooting. No one who was
in the house at the time seems to know
anything about the matter except Miss
Pope, a sister-in-law. She saw Barrett
few minutes before the killing sitting
in room alone. Then she heard the
shot and Barrett cry out. She rushed
in and his wife, who was supporting his
head, sent her for help. She met John
Enright, the wife's brother, on the side
walk. He had been in the house short
time before the shooting and was placed
under arrest on suspicion. Barretts
family relations have always been happy.

Sermon by Bishop FoSs- Christianity Based
on Four CertRInties.
NEw York, May 2O.-The regular az
ternoon service of the Methodist Con-
ference was held to-day in the Metro
politan Opera House. Rev. Rishop G.
D.Toss, D. D., of Minneapolis, delivered
the sermon OF the day. He claimed that
Christianity is based on four certainties,
"God, Christ, Salvation and Immor-
tality." The Bishop then went into the
proofs OF these cxistencies, saying that
the proof OF God was found in the Bible
and the necessity OF u maker in the uni
verse. "The existence of Christ was
proved by the miracles wrought in be-
levers in Him. The Bible also showed
salvation by Christ and immortality was
proved by the instincts within us"
The benediction was pronounced by
Rev. Sic Sex ong, of Foo Chow, China.

his wife in their apartment. Andrews
then turned the revolver on himself, but
the shot was not fatal, and he finished up
the double tragedy with razor which
he drew across his throat. Andrews
had been living with the women but a
short time, and it is said she was his
mistress.

Accidents and Incidents in West
Virginia and Vicinity.
A VERY MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR
On the West Virginia Central Rail-
road-A Probable Srurder-A
State Line Road-carccr of a
West virginian-Notcs.

A mysterious death, surrounded by
evidences of foul play, is agitatins citi-
zens on the line of the West Virginia
Central Railroad, between Davis and
Cumberland. Sunday week, as u pas
senger train was returning to Cumber-
land from Davis the engineer saw the
body ofa man lying across the track.
Before he could stop the train the man
was struck and cut in two. When the
train was stopped the body
was recognized as that Of Joseph
Beswick, a trackman in the employ Of
the company, who lived at Elkins. Foul
play was at first suspected, though no
Injuries other than those inflicted by
the locomotive could be discovered. An
inquest was held and a verdict Of acci-
dental death rendered.
The inquest held over the body does
not satisfy the people, however. There
seems to be some doubt among them
whether Beswick was killed on the rail-
road or had been murdered and placed
there TO conceal the crime. The body
was cold and stiffening when found two
minutes after the train struck it, very
little blood flowed and the presence OF
brass knuckles found near the spot, all
go to show something unusual about the
occurrence, and while there seems no
clue, yet suspicion is at work and start
ling developments may be expected.

Tho South Carolina Convention Refuses to

CHARLESTON, S. c., May 20.-DemO-
Gratis in South Carolina are not u happy
family Just now. Heretofore it was al
ways taken for granted that South Caro-
lima was for free trade, but at the recent
State Convention the Democrats refused
to pass resolution approving the Mills
bill. The resolution was killed by the
usual Committee OF Resolutions, and its
friends were afraid to appeal to the con-
ventiOn.
The usual sensation Of the convention,
however, was the scathing dcnuncia-
ton OF the Democratic Administration
by Captain B. K. Tillman, brother OF
Congressman Tillman. He charged the
Democratic Administration for the past
ten years with reckless extravaganza
and utter disregard OF the expressed
wishes OF the people. He said that he
and his followers only remain III the
party on account OF the color question,
but he warned the present leaders that
they were standing over q yawning vol
cano, and that fiery hell was waiting
them. He said that the common people
were tired Of paying taxes to supportandi
educate broken down aristocrats, and
warned the party that any additional in
crease OF taxation would be more than
they could stand. lie had the support
OF about one-third OF the convention,
who wildly applauded his speech. The
other side laughed.

Thomas, living near here, went to a
church meeting last night, leaving their
son Henry, aged six years, in charge Of
three small children. When the parents
returned they found the boy lying on
the floor in blood, and the children,
more or less hurt, around him. He was
insensible, having been shot in the
head, and cannot survive. The three
children, who can barely speak, said
that "a big black man came out oi the
woods and shot in the room at them"
1t seems to have been deliberate at
tempt to assassinate the entire family OF
children, and from all that can be
learned from the frightened little ones,
the assassin did not quit until he sup
posed he had accomplished his work.

arrests for violations and the saloons
were closed at once except in few cases
where the proprietors insisted in defy

the arrest on q second and in some
cases on a third charge. One man was
persistent enough to subject himself to
five arrests, when he gave up the fight.

and Missouri Valleys, Nebraska and
Kansas. While there was almost n
total absence OF rain in the Atlantic
States and Northern Mississippi. There
has been more rain than usual in Penn.
sylvania, New York and the interior OF
New England. In the States bordering
on the great lakes, the Ohio Valley,
Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina and
East Tennessee, rainfall for the season
range from so to 30 per cent OF the usual
amount.
General Remarks-Reports indicate
that throughout the Southern States the
weather has been generally favorable
for the growing crops, although more
rain is needed, the cool nights having
retarded the growth Of young cotton,
which is, however, reported in good
condition. In the grain regions OF the
Northwest and Ohio Valley the cold
weather during the week has prevented
any marked improvement in the crop
condition. Damaging frosts occurred
from Michigan southwark to Northern
Alabama.
