The Chamber of commerce will hold its

night, and the occasion will he very IN
teresting on account of the in portanee
of the issues which will be discussed.
At the last meeting of the chamber, there
was suggestion that steps be taken

pretty wide favor, and is now under dis
cussion in the board Of aldermen.
Another matter Of interest is a propo-
sition TO issue $50 000 in bonds for per
manent street Improvements. and the
question is whether the legislature shall
be asked 70 authorize the city TO hold an
election on that question. There is 4
strong sentiment in favor of the issue of
the bonds, but there is also very lively
opposition 10 it. Ii is understood that
the sentiment Of the chamber will be ex-
pressed on these issues. and every mem

questions.

baptist Historical Society.

1be North Carolina Baptist Historical
Society held its annual meeting at 4
O'Clock yesterday afternoon DR. Thomas
Hume, of the state University, the pres
ldent of the society. was in the chair
and, after prayer by Rev T J. Taylor, of
Warrenton, made a brief Introductory
address in which the Professor showed
how church history was coored by the
set given to it by the early hierarchicnl
bodies by that view of the relations Of
church and state and of sacrament to
spiritual experience. There had always
been consistent upholders of Scriptural
simplicity of doctrine and worship under
different names, it may be. Let US treas
ure the biographies and the church re-
cords of the fathers and initiate their
virtues.
DR.. ]. D. Huffman, of Tarboro was
then introduced and delivered the an
nual address on Lessons from the Early
Baptists of North Carolina: QD Their
steady adherence to liberty, religious
and political (2) Their missionary zeal
(3) Their methods of work; (a) preach
| ing in private residences for sixty years
and more, realizing the Scriptural idea
of ''the church in the house,; (b) consti
tuting of each church organization thus
formed a centre for missionary operation
in the regions round about; (c) the wise
location Of these churches with reference
to the greatest usefulness ~ Their
careful provision for the religious in
struction of the slaves. (5) Their loyalty
to the truth as they told it
Under these different heads the mag
netic speaker detailed most valuable in
formation showing that Baptsts and
Quakers had come from Virginia and
other points to the north whence they
were driven by persecution and that
when in 1863 the colonial governmen,
was formed under the Lords proprietors
they were too numerous and so Influenced
public sentiment that it was not possible
to wage any general persecution against
them in the new colony. They acquired
under pressure of necessity wonderful
political wisdom and practical executive
force. They could not always win tht
highest public position as against the in
fuence of those who followed the Try
ons, Martins and Johnsons, but the,
could prevent the enforcement of oppres
velaws There were only sporadic case
of persecution. The speaker very strik
ingly pictured the unlticaton of six o
seven churches from the old Shlol
church Of Camden county, some of them
like Blackwat6r and Northwest churches
being on the Virginia side. The addres
was full of stirring facts that should b
preserved in permanent form II migh

Bull Fighting I'm Earnest

SAN LUIS PoTosI, MEN, July 90
A slckening accident occurred here last
night at bull fight witnessed by electric
lig0t in new ring near the city limits
There were fully five thousand persons
present among them being number OF
American ladies and geatlemcn. tourists.
Matador Albe1 to Limertura was in the
act OF giving the third bull fatal thrust
with his short sword when he slipped
and fell. The trenzed bull had him on
his horns IN a moment, and was yOriuy
him ferCciously when three of the BAN
derilleros rushed to the rescurc. They
Haunted their scarlet cloaks in front of
the bull number Of times without at
tracing his attention from the fallen
matador.
Suddenly he charged upon one of the
banderilleaos, who sought protection
behind the barrier erected for that pur-
pose. The bull overlook him aud caught
him upon the sharp point OF his horns,
which penetrated entirely through the
mans body. The crowd was wild with
excitement, the Mexicans cheering the
bull for his grand fighting qualities, and
when tho bugle sounded the call for the
mdtadors to come in and throw the mad
animal TO be killed the spectators pro-
tested vehcmenuy against such action.
The dead body of the banderillcro re.
manned upon the bulbs horns until the
animal was killed. Lmertura, the
matador, died while being removed from
She ring. The performance was then
stopped by the police.

MANY hterHd bY Tho Sun.

CHICAGO, July 28.--Slaughter by the
sun was still on in Chicago today. Elf.
ty deaths and more than twice as MANY
pr0strat1ons from heat havo occurred
Although there Is Row prediction OF
a cold wave and the possibility of re-
lief, it is certain that the number of
deaths will be largely increased during
the next few days. Hospitals are filled
with patients suffering from sunstroke,
many OF whom cannot possibly recover.
The record yesterday, which surpassed
anything in the number of deaths and
prostratlons for heat the city has
known, was eclip3ed by the awful work
Of the sun to-day.

graphy Of the island was changed.
On the night of the outbreak two Not
wegian barks, the Prmera and the Fash
ion, were in Toroana Bay, but got TO
sea without damage. In a pretty har-
Dor on the northeast side Of the island
the Dutch ships Tclbekla and Grippa
were loading nutmcgs. They, too, sus-J
tanned little injury, fortunately, Because
there was no tidal wave. The report
of the first explosion was heard at
Ternate, Gorontalo aud MaHdanao,
whlch arc respectively 2l0, 40 and PIG
miles distant. The lava streams we're
confined to the northern slopes of the
mountain. In the TObockan district
not single village remains, while
thousands of the Inhabitants were killed
in the overflow.
The village Of Lorcna, on the south
side of the mountain, protected by q
ridge OF hill, some of them l,S00 feet
high, is covered with ashes. Many of
the houses were crushed by the accu.
mulated ,wcight Of ashes, dust aud
stones. CocOanut plantations on both
sides of Lorena Bay are destroyed, but
in the town itself there was compara-
lively little loss of life. To the west
ward Of the town, alter passing the foot
OF the, ridge, the scene is one Of complete
dcsolhtion and devastation. The suit
icrinG among those who escaped with
their lives has been most acute.

Starving Texans.

RIO GRANDE CITY, July 31.-There
are no less than twelve thousand people
in the lower Rio Grande border colln-
ties Of Texas on the very verge of star
Vatlon. The rain which fell here four
weeks ago WAS the first in three years,
but IL was of no benefit. The intense
heat Of summer has evaporated every
particle of moisture. and the suffering
among the people Tor lack Of food and
water IS terrible to witness. Tnere are
hundreds of Mexicans and Aluerlcans
In Starr, Separate and Nuecs counties,
who. for weeks past, have subsisted
wholly on the mesquite tree berries and
cactus leaves and buds. These are the
only Two species OF vegetation which
nave been able to withstand tho terrible
drouth. Even the hardy live oak trees
IN the NueceS bottoms have died. and
the indications are that this section,
which was a few years ago the garden
spot OF Texas. is to be converted into a
veritable desert.
thousands of head of cattle have
died, and the ones then living were
shipped TO Indian Territory several
weeks ago. There are not over 5000
head OF cattle in these border counties.
Before the drought set in there were
hundreds OF thousands Of head passured
here each season. There have been
many appeals for food supplies for the
starving poor sent out from here, but
the responses have been very meaxer.
The people of Brownville have Joined
in petition to Governor IIogp for as.
sistance. Their petition states that
many deaths from starvation are inev-
liable unless the people of Texas and
the country comes to their relief,
