THE PARK Err WILL.
AnstUers Filed to the Suit of the Widop


Anstcers Filed to the Suit of the Widoc of
Deceased.
SANJOSE, CAL, Oct. 17.-Marshal and
Jane Pomeroy, executors of the estate of
George H. Parker to-day filed answers to
the suit brought by Mrs. Emma L. Parker
for the revocation of the will of George H.
Parker.
In their answers the defendants deny
that they influenced George H. Parker
against his son, but say the disposition of
his property was due wholly TO the result
of his own Investigations. They also aver
that at the time the will was made the de-
ceased was of sound and disposing mind.
Mrs. Emma l.. Parker, the contestant of
the will, is the widow of Edward L. Par
ker, the only son of George II. Parker.
The son, who died shortly after his
fathers death, was left only the income on
$4,000 out of an estate of about $500, 600 in
value. The son lived in Hartford, Conn.
and for many years was not on good terms
with his father.
Serious reflections upon the character
OF the sons wife had been made and they
were charged with living a notorious life
IN Hartford. This so enraged the father
that he disposed of the estate among dis
tant relatives, cutting his son off almost
entirely

sistant Bishop Gailor of Tennessee read the
report of the joint committee on Christian
education, which after recognizing the
growth of sentiment in favor of Christian
education, and stating the general grounds
on which such education is urged, recon-
mended an energetic and systematic work
in the Sunday The needs of the
lower schools were presented by Rev. DIR.
Rober: Doherty of Omaha, who thought that
the church should adopt some general plan
OF educational work whereby the secondary
schools and the colleges might be brought
into closer and more intimate relations.
He also urged the needs of a church college
for women
A resolution came in at the end of the
meeting from DR.. Fulton. 1t recon-
mended that the board of regents con-
slder the question of uniting all the divin-
lty schools into theological university in
connection with the general theological
seminary. The resolution was adopted
and the meeting adjourned.
The House of Bishops nominated Rev.

as a candidate for the new bishopric of

the resolution of the House of Deputies
which had been sent forward at the in
stance of Rev. DR.. Spalding of California
providing that collections be taken up on
one Sunday OF each year for an INDECENT
clergy fund.
At $50 O'Clock tonight the houses of
Bishops and Deputies met in Joint session
as the general missionary board, with
Bishop Doane of Albany presiding. A
lengthy report on the women's auxiliaries,
junior auxiliaries and Order of Deacon
esses was presented by Deputy Whitaker
of Pennsylvania who laid stress upon the
fact that the women's auxiliary had given
81 900, 600 to the cause and deserved the
support of the Bishops and the church at
large. The following resolution was
adopted:
ReSoIUed, That any woman hereafter receiving
appointm under the Board of Missions shall
be required to have at least six months train
ing in one of our church training-schools or
some kindred institution, unless the board oi
managers or the Bishops TO whose jurisdiction
she is to be sent has personal knowledge OF hel
fitness.
On the consideration of colored work in
the South it was decided, on motion of the
Bishop of Maryland, that the commission
on work among the colored people be re-
quested to consider the feasibility O.
placing a colored man upon the commits
sion. The question of the negro in the
church was discussed by the Bishop O
! Georgia and Rev. C. c. Penick of Balti-
more, ex-Bishop of Palmas, the latter
taking the ground that the church was moi
doing its duty by the colored people of the
/ South, and that just as surely the Lord
would punish the church for its neglect
An adjournment was then taken until to-
morrow evening.

AN EPOCH IN CHURCH HISTORY.
The CEREMONIES OPENED WITH A
GRAND PROCESSION OF WIS.,
TING PRELATES.

SANTA FE., n. MEX, Oct. lin the
ton that ever assem- pled in church in
New Mexico, the pallium, the sacred SYM
Dol of archiepiscopal authority in the
Catholic church, was conferred on Arch
bishop Chappelle in the cathedral of this
city to-day. The investing prelate was

numbering about 120, from the Arch
bishops residence to the cathedral, where
solemn high mass was celebrated by Car
dinal Gibbons, assisted by several priests
from the local diocese.
The sanctuary was fianked on both sides
by dozen or more Bishops, including
Archbishop Chappelle, who sat on throne
on the left, next to the footrail.
Opposite to him sat the venerable Arch
bishop Salpionte, the noted Indian mis-
sionary in Arizona's troublesome days.
On the formers right sat the distinguished
Archbishop of st. Louis, who delivered
mastery discourse on the pallium.

monies to a close.

Culiacan and the Humaya and Tamazula
irivers, emptying into Culiacan River, rap
dly grew into torrents, sweeping away
125 houses in the lower part of Culiacan.
The families thus rendered homeless took
refuge in the Courthouse and San Carlos
Hotel, but great suffering could not be
prevented and innumerable cases of
famine and exposure reached Culiacan
from the surrounding country.
The Culiacan water-works, situated near
the river, was covered with debris and
water is now being delivered on burros.
No attempt had been made at Culiacan to
figure up the losses in the city, and the
losses to ranch property sugar planta-
tions, cattle, etc., could only be guessed.
The sugar refinery and plantation at
Lastancas were carried away, rich soil
being replaced by hills of sand. The loss
was estimated at $4,000. Several refneries
and ranches at Navolato and Primavera
were lost, the total loss in that nelghbor-
hood in the sugar industry alone being
5000 to 100000 Alberto de la Vega lost
cattle valued at $4,000 on Isieta ranch, ADD
Julian Montijos' loss of cattle there was
$4,000. Property on Hacienda Mocurini was
lost to the value OF $4,000.
All the property of Rosas brothers, in
cattle, sugar plantations and other crops
was swept away. Their loss is about $751;
600, and they have nothing left. Gabriel
Lagartijo lost fine plantation and all his
cattle. The total value is about $14, 900.
Mendoza, Rosario, Moreno, Gonzalez,
Tlalco, Rivera Hermanos, Benemerito and
other plantations along Humaya River
were practically destroyed. 1t was re-
ported that the entire village of Descansa-
dero and twenty people were lost.
All plantations and orchards for 100
miles along Humaya and Tamazula rivers
were injured and most of them carried
away. Merchants of Culiacan figured up
losses as well as they could from reports
coming in, and placed the figure, in round
num- bers, including ranch property, sugar
plantations, cattle, ETC., at 100000. This
was based only on reports received up to
October 8.
The Tamazula River was reported to
have risen fifteen feet in sixteen hours.
The American steamer Nelson returned
from upper gulf ports, and reported that
the storm extended north of Carmen
Island. The schooner Julieta was wrecked
at Carmen Island and the Nelson rescued
the crew.

SEATTLE, WASH, Oct. 1.-THE main
slope of the Oregon improvement Com
pany's mines at Franklin, in this county,
is on fire and at least three men are sup
posed to have perished. The fire has been
raging since about noon, and great volumes
of smoke and flame are belching forth
through the mouth of the mine. Details
thus far are meager, news of the disaster
having reached this city late this after
noon.
The fire broke out between the fifth and
sixth levels and in few minutes was
burning fiercely. Forty or fifty men at
work within made rush for liberty, and
it is believed that all escaped save three
The telephone wires running into the
mine were burned suddenly cutting off
all communication with the imprisoned
miners.
The scene which followed the report of
another disaster in the mine where so
many tragedies have occurred was one of
almost unparalleled excitement Mine
Superintendent Corey left Seattle on a
special train at o'clock for Franklin.
By an explosion in the same mine in
August, 1894, thirty-six men were killed.
More than that number had a most mi
reculous escape from death to-day
Reports received at 10 80 o'clock tonight
from Franklin are to the effect that four
persons instead of three are certainly dead
though their bodies have not been found.
They we're: John Glover. T. w. Smalley,
John Adams and James Stafford, constitu.
ting the rescue party. They went down in
