Norfolk, Va, Oct. ls.-Special.-ihe
city this morning Is filed with leading
Republicans. Never In the political his
tory Of this city has the feeling between
party men been as bitter as II Is t'S
morning between the followers of MI
Harrison. The effort of the national COM
mittee to settle the differences here Is
complete failure.
Bowden, who has written a letter %
withdrawal from the contest, will ap'
point his committee of five tomorrow
who together with the committee ap-
pointed by Mr.. Peachy will select
eleventh man and will then IL possible
agree upon a candidate for Congress.
Nobody here believes that the two com-
mittees can come together and calmly
consider any proposition.
ST. Lukes Protestant Episcopal churcl.
was dedicated tonight. The new build
ing is one of the most beautiful houses
OF worship in the South. 1t is built OIL
Richmond granite and North Carolinsa
broWnstone. The combination Is very
pretty. The building cost $4,000. and II y
doubtful If more delightful house in all
its departments was ever put up for THAI
money. 1t is 6ix135 feet. and will scar
1,l00 persons. The wall and ceiling are
of hard wood, natural grain, polished
like mirror. The chancel is exceedingly
handsome. and it's furnishings said to be
some of Lambs best work. The pews
are of antique oak, hand carved; carpets
of velvet. There were present to-nisht
all of the former pastors Of the church
Revs. Roberts. Dance and Newton, the
latter now Of Richmond. All OF the Epis-
mi nf

chancel. The dedicatOry sermon was
preached by Bishop Randolph in the pres
ence of a congregation which occupied
every foot of space upon the floor or the
building The music was OF an unusu-
ally high order. rendered by choir oi
twenty carefully trained voices. The ne"
organ Is a superb instrument, manufac-
tured by Houk & Hastings. The OLD
church, which was erected about eight
years ago, will be used for Sunday school
and lectures The architecture OF the
new building is Romanesque, and Of
very UNIQUE and beautiful design.

any in the State; that Mr. Goode IL aSout
all that there is left of the Third party.

gone conclusion.
