More Interesting Than Ever.

Yesterday was big day for the Sunset
Baptist church. Evangelist White con-
Quoted three services besides preaching a
short sermon TO the Baptist Young
Peoples Union at $3.50 p. m. The three
services were all largely attended, that at
$3.50 for women being the most largely at
tended of any that had preceded 1t. The
sermon from the text, is 1t well with
thee, is it well with thy husband, is IL
well with thy child" was ably and effec-
lively presented. All the wives present
gave their hands, promising more faith
fully to strive for the beLterment of their
husbands, all the husbands gave the like
promise concerning their wives, and all
young people the same concerning their
parents. At night the house was com
fOrtabIy full, the number being much
larger than at any time in the history of
the church.
Five persons were received into mem
berShip at the morning and evening ser
vices. So far, fourteen have been APP
proved for baptism, and five received by
letter or statement. The baptiSmS an
nounced to occur last night could not be
attended to, as the plumbers failed TO
the water connection, on Satur
day, with the baptiStry. The job will be
finished today. and all candidates that
have been approved will receive the or
dinance on next Wednesday night. This
has been remarkable meeting in every
respect, and the pastor and church are
much reiOicpd.

TRIED TO QUASH.
But Judge Maxey Takes the Mat
ter under Adviscment I'M

This morning there was noticeatl e
difference in the class of persons that
made up the audience in Judge MaXey's
court. The crowd was not large but it
was composed of prominent citizens, who,
having heard that Edward Dryer,
charged with vic ating the election laws,
would be tried for the alleged offence.
The attorneys in the case were United
States District Attorney Evans and Con
stitutiOnal Attorney" McMinn, for the
government and AttorneyT. II. Franklin,
for the defendant.
When the case was called At
torney Franklin moved the court
Gued by both sides for fully two hours.
The reasons given by defendent why
the motion should be QuaShed are aS4ol-
lows:
FTst--It appears from the face of said
Indictment that the acts charged against
defendent DO not constitute any violation
of any law of the United States.
Second-The state law, which is alleged
to be violated, cannot be put in operation
in any city of the state except upon the
petition. of five hundred citizens of the
city made prior to each general election
and it is not alleged in said indictment
that any such petition was ever made by
the citizens at San Antonio or acted upon.
Third-The law that is alleged to be
ing upon the official ballot provided
therein the name of.any candidate for a
congressional Office.
FOurth-Said election law of said state
referred 10 in said Indictment is uncon-
stitutional for this "A' it is a local or
special law providing for the manner of
conducting elections and is in direct vio-
latiOn of article 3, section So of the con-
stitution of the State OF Texas, which is
as follows: THE Legislature shall not,
except as otherwise provided in this con-
stitution, pass any local or special law
authorizing; for the opening and conduct
ing of elections or fixing or changing the
place of voting-"B''-Said act of the leg
islature violates section 35, article 3, Of
said constitution which requires that no
bill shall contain more than one subject
which shall be expressed in its title.
Fifth-It no where appears In said in
dictment nor in the laws OF the State of
Texas governing elections that any of the
acts charged against the defendant were
in violation of or unauthorized by any of
said election laws of said State Of Texas.
Judge MaXey stated that he would take
the motion under Amusement and at the
next term OF court would deliver his
opinion on the same.

Paderewski. is expected to reach Ameri-

triumphal tour such as was evidenced
in the days of Jennie Lind and Ole Bull,

st. Petersburg and Warsaw. At twenty

ENDED IN MURDER.
RESULT OF AN ALTERATION BE.
TWEEN TWO BROTHERS.

Row Over Money Matters Takes Place
on n Public Street in Portland, Me.
Murderer is Glad His Brother is Dead
PORTLAND, Me-, Aug. 16 Two Italians,
brothers, named Capriello and Baptista
Rossa, got into an alteration last even
ing on Middle street, near the Falmouth
Hotel. They were separated by two street
car conductors, but almost Immediately
came together again. This time the fight
was to the death.
Capriello was on top and was using his
knife. Thomas Heffron caught Capriello' S
hand, and at the same moment John At
kins seized the man by the leg. The two
overpowered him and took the knife from
his grasp. By this time Baptista had
crawled outside the ring of men which
had formed on the street. He was picked
up and laid on the sidewalk opposite,
when he was found to be severely hurt.
The victorious brother had meanwhile
been secured and was marched toward
the police station, guar led by at least
Rfty men. Capriello was locked up and
Baptista taken to an undertaker's shop
near by,where he died in twenty minutes
The doctors found three wounds, two of
which were fatal. Death was caused by
deep stab near the heart.
At the police station Capriello told the
story of The qUarr.l 1t seems that the
two brothers came from Cosenza, Italy.
They have been here about two years and
employed as abOrers. Cpriello has lived
at Stafford block, d notorious locality,
while Baptista lived on Munjoy Hill.
Baptista borrowed money from Cap
riello and owed him $780, Baptista was
married and had family in Italy. He
has been in the habit of sending them
money every month. Two weeks ago
Capriello told Baptista that he must not
send the money to Italy this month, but
must pay him the $50 owed.
The brothers had violent quarrel
over this matter, and when they met ON
Middle street last night Capriello first
knocked B. ptista down and attacked him
with ssix-inch dagger. When the inter-
prefer told Capriello that his brother was
dead, he said: "Well, am satisfied"
1t is stated by some that the real cause
of the trouble was that the two men loved
tina, l1as.wonsan, Eta Coomlis, who not
long ago was married to Baptista.
