TWO SPANS GAVE WAY.
Fatal Wreck on the Ohio Southern at Paint
 River.

Springfield O., Aug. 11.-A fatal wreck occurred on the Ohio Southern railway this afternoon at Paint river, forty miles south of here. At this point there is two span bridge over the river. A west bound coal train of thirty-five cars struck the bridge, which had been con sidered perfectly safe. The structure gave way in both spans and the engine dropped 20 feet into the water, which at that point is 30 feet deep. The coal cars piled up in the river. The remainder of the train had by this time become checked and stopped on the track.
 Engineer Clint Radcliffe, Fireman Mar tin Houser and Brakeman William Hin cock, who were all in the cab at the time the bridge collapsed, went down without a moments warning and were drowned. They are at present buried in the river under 400 tons of coal They all lived here. The remainder of the train crew escaped.
 In connection with the accident 1t is reported that four tramps who were stealing ride went down to death with the train.
 This cannot be substantiated until the debris in the river is examined, but seems to be true. A wrecking train is now on the scene doing what it can. Late this afternoon it was learned that the cause of the wreck was that the bridge caught fire and had half burned in two at the time the engine struck it. Work was be- gun at once on the wreck when the crew and train arrived
 The debris was removed so that the body of the engineer could be seen pinned to the cab, but cannot be released.
 The engineer and firman were single. The brakeman was married and leaves wife and two children.

Lewis was lo- cated Satuday morning at 2 o'clock by Rev. MT. MeGregor and William Russell and ordered to surrender. He showed fight and was shot down, his leg being broken. Thinking Lewis dead McGregor approached and turned him over. Lewis immediately drew pistol and shot Me Gregor, probably fatally wounding him. The outlaw dragged himself away, but aid came to McGregor and Russell and he was trailed by his blood and captured. He was brought here and lodged in jail.
 James K. Marvin, wife and son were arrested for harboring Lewis. Lewis shot down High Smith and Davis be- cause they refused to kneel and apolo- gize for fancied insult. Lewis came to Florida from Texas, where he is said to have killed three men. He is a native of Vermont.

Housekeepers Want the Best Food.

Housekeepers Want the Best Food What Scientists say:
 Prof. Arnold of the University of New York: 'I consider that each and every ingredient of oleomargarine but ter or butterine is perfectly pure and wholesome, that the oleomargarine butter differs in no essential manner from the butter made from cream. It is great discovery, blessing for the poor, in every way a perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article.
 Silver Churn Butterine is prepared especially for fine table use. Every de- tail of its manufacture is perfect. Re- cent chemical experiments show that in nutritive and digestive properties Silver Churn Butterine is fully equal to the best creamery butter; while in keeping quality Silver Churn Butterine is much superior.

AT THE CHURCHES.
SynopSes of Some of the Sermons Delivered by Birmingham DWines Yesterday Morn-
 ing and Evening.

Rev. V. o. Hawkins, president of the Athens Female college, preached at the First Methodist church yesterday morn ing from Mark xxi, 24: "Therefore I say unto you what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them"
 The subject, as the text indicates, was prayer. He urged the necessity of prayer, but admonished his hearers not to pray for things they did not desire. Ho illustrated this point by citing an incl dent of two boys, who requested of their parents certain things. One of them was constantly asking his mother for things he really cared nothing for and was not disappointed when refused. The other seldom asked for anything, but when he did he earnestly desired the object re- quested. He would go to his mother and ask her to intercede with his father for him. His brother and his sister would be appealed to to intercede for him and if he did not get it then great was his dis appointment. The father, seeing how much he desired the object, would grant it. So, he said, it should be with the per son offering a prayer to God. He should be earnest. He said some people when praying would ask for everything they could think of and then close by saying, 70 Lord, if we have failed in asking for anything fail not in giving it to us
 He said prayer was one of the largest if not the largest element in Christian worship.
 At the close of his sermon pr. Hawkins made short talk in the interest of the Athens Female college, of which he is president, incidentally stating his oppo- sition to coeducation on the ground that it was not to the best interest of either sex to be educated together.

IRON MARKET.

Cincinnati, Aug. 10.-A feature of the present market is a moderate booking of orders and extraordinary shipments of iron already contracted for. To such an extent is this true that the furnace com panies find it impossible to keep the con- sumer satisfied especially with the soft grades.
 It is the wise consumer these days that keeps a well filled iron yard, and many are finding out that it is better to antic- ipate their wants rather than be com peIled to suspend work. The question of car supply may, in view of the heavy shipping, and the large crops of cotton, corn and wheat soon become a serious problem and is a factor that buyers should well consider.
 In coke irons the tonnage of new or ders, while not unusually heavy, still averages up a good and fairly live trade and the strength of the market is fully demonstrated by the almost total ab- sence of cutting prices.
 Furnace men generally anticipate a big demand and somewhat higher prices when the summer months are over and buyers return from vacation haunts.
 Charcoal irons are in fair demand at top prices.
 The furnaces that were cutting a few weeks ago seem to have caught on to the fact that higher prices ruling of late have tn

 In the absence of the pastor the con- gregation was addressed by Prof. w. P. Taylor who spoke eloquently of the fourteenth international convention of the Society of Christian Endeavor, to which he was a delegate. The number of delegates assembled in Boston, ac- cording to the official list, was 56, 6,435 representing the entire civilized world California had 200 delegates Illinois 1900, New York state 4000, Florida 100, and del- egates were present from the Cape or Good Hope, Australia, Persia, China, etc. The Alabama delegates joined the Ken lucky delegation and went singing through seven states. Kentucky sang My Old Kentucky Home" and Alabama sang Dixie" and both joined in singing America" The effect of the convention on Boston was very beneficial. Great hospitality was shown the delegates. The Alabama delegation was met 100 miles from Boston and escorted to headquar- ters. The whole city was decorated in red and white, the society colors. The chief of police said that during the con vention he made only one-third the usual number of arrests The delegates faith fully attended all services from a. m to Il D. m.

Several dele gates went in his saloon and held pray CT meeting. The keynote of the conven- tion was good citizenship. Dr. Park hurst said the Endeavorers had helped him in his reform work in New York. It was the sense of the convention that the members of the society take an active part in bringing about good government, and. as there are 3,000,000 mem bers, they will wield potent in- f1uence in elections. The conven" tion was addressed by the gov ernor and Acknowledgements of Massa- chusetts. MT. Smith, author of My Country, 'Tis of Thee,' made an address. One of the best speeches was made by John G.
