hey. and J. c. Morgan. The first
morning and afternoon session was
taken up with the discussion of
queries selected by the committee
on arrangement of programme.
The first spe .ch on this programme
WAS made by a. S. Tompkins on
what are the qualifications nee
essary for officers of a Sunday
school, and how ascertained."
This query was treated, as Bro.
Blalock said. sin very exhaus-
tive manner" that is, he said "in
reference 10 points" A number
of queries for discussion were
handed in by brethren present,
nearly all Of which were the means
of drawing from delegates soild
information, and interesting and
instructive talks. Bro. Pinckney
Blalock added a great deal to the
music of the choir by his cornet,
which he manipulates with much
skill.
Friday evening Rev. J. l.. QUITS
preached one Of his inimi!able
sermons. The text was "And I.
if I be lifted up vii! draw all men
unto myself
Saturday was also spent in the
dis ussion of topics, which were
helpful to Sunday-school workers.
Among the speakers were Hon. w.
J. Talbert, Rev. J. P. Mealing, Rev.
J, l.. QUITS, Rev. John Lake, Rev
l.. r. Gwaltney,J. G. Morgan, etc.

to the regret of that portion of our
town who attended the convention,
Sunday morning was the lime
appointed for the Sunday School
Mass Meeting, after which services
the regular morning sermon was
preached by Rev.. l.. QUITS. The

many more of Bro. Ouzts's sermons
We feel assured that the delegates
and visitors who attended this con.
vcntion will 60 hone eathused and

Hamilton G. Macdougali Resigns as
Organist Of Central baptist Church.

Providence generally and the Central
Baptist Church in particular will lose the
services OF one OF the best known and
most efficient organists in New England,
in the person of Hamilton G. MacdougalI,
who goes to Brookline, Mass, to accept a
position In a similar capacity.
Mr.. Macdougall has been organist at
the church here for IL years, and yester-
day completed the term. In consequence,
at the close of last evenings service, his
many friends in the church and
congregation presented him beauti-
ful and costly Dresden china clock,

felititous presentation speech. Mr.. Mac
dougali, naturally modest man, was

The crowd of curiosity seekers were
somewhat disappointed. They expected
the accused man to come by train from
Howard and were consequently at the
Union Station waiting his arrival. When
they learned that he was in his cell at the
court house they felt decidedly hagrined.
The sightseers around the court
house were limited to a. few
hundred. They found that there
was little chance OF passing the
ordeal to which they were submitted by
the deputies aud gradually vanished. A
few favored ones managed TO pass the
lines, and the women, with admirable pa
tience, waited, always hoping that they
might by some fortuity obtain a much
coveted seat in Judge Wilbur's court
room.
Kcegan quietly entered the court room
in company with Deputy Thayer at half
past O'Clock. His counsel followed him,
and then cane the Attorney General. IL
was few minutes later when the sheriff
announced "The Honorable Supreme
Court" and Judge Wilbur entered. The
crier called the opening of the court, and
Mr.. Dubois stepped to the clerks
desk and said in low tone,
"521." The trial of Lawrence Keegan for
the murder of Emily Chambers had be-
gun. The indictment was read to Keegan
by Clerk Webster ano his plea of not
guilty was entered. The names of the
Jurors were then called, after which they
examined separately.
The selecting of the jury occupied just
two hours. The majority of those called
had not formed an opinion, and several
said that they had not read the news
paper reports. The cross examination Of
the jurors was conducted by Mr.. McGill.
Ta enty-three Jurors were examined be-
fore the panel was finally chosen.
George o. Wood OF Lincoln was the
first juror called and was submitted to the
ordinary questions by Mr.. Dubois. He
created some surprise by saying that he
bad not read the newspaper accounts of
the case and knew nothing about it. In
cross-examination he said he did not
have much time to read the papers. lie
was allowed TO take a seat on the panel.
George w. Horton of East Providence
read only the head lines Of the Keegan
case, and didn't know much about 1t. He
was not objected to.
Frederick +. Halliday of Pnwtucket
knew nothing about the case whatever,
and had not read the newspapers. He was
not interested in murder cases or in fights,
and he said he did not read the Sunday
papers, but he confined himself to
tho Pawtucket publications. Halliday was
accepted.

The Tow Boat Arrived in
Port Yesterday.
Captain Umstead Tells the Story Of
Saturdays Disaster.
Three Of the Bodies Recovered--Loss
Estimated at $4,000.

The tow boat Sea King, which figured
so conspicuously in the disaster on Point
Judith Saturday, arrived In this port
yesterday afternoon and is now awaiting
orders to take another tow back to Perth
Amboy.
Captain Umstead of the Sea King is very
deeply affected by the frightful results of
the storm in which the men and women
on the barges that he was hauling to this
city lost their lives.
The captain tells the following story Of
the fatal trip:
eve left New York Wednesday after
noon. Race Rock Light was passed
about 8 o'clock Friday afternoon
In good weather, with everything
favorable for a trip down the Sound.
About quarter OF IL Friday night the
wind began to freshen from the east, and
soon increased to a gale from the east
southeast. Snow also began to fall, and
one OF the thiokest nights the tug over
experienced set In.
The tug and its tow were of the buoy at
Point Judith at $3.50 Saturday morn
ing. At this time the wind had Increased
was falling so thick that the crew Of the
tug could hardly see the end of the tow.
The wind was blowing directly on the
beach. Fears began to be felt for the
safety of the crew. The barges were
swinging from side to side, and IL the
nhWsers ueiu ~ WAS pretty certdln the low
would be swamped.
"They tossed about q few minutes and
then began to founder. This was about s
O'Clock. The crew OF the tug watched
the ill-fated barges for about half an
hour, until they finally went out OF sight.
All this time struggle was wag-
ing between the tug and the
angry wind and sea in an cndeavor to
keep the other two barges from being de-
molished. Shortly after 9 O'Clock tho
Crocus, which was next to the tug, was
swamped by fearfully high wave and she
sank In an instant, parting her hawsers as
she did SO.
The crew OF the Sea King saw at in
tervals through the binding snow and
huge waves the light OF the Nulty, the
only one of the five barge remaining,
bobbing about, and steamed toward her.
When within a few feet OF the
barge two forms were seen struggling
in the water. Ropes with life pre-
servers attached were thrown To
them and they were hauled in safety on
board the tug. They were Edward Melli-
can, a lad of IL, of Providence, and Antoine
Purrich, 3S years old, an Austrian, whose
home is in Philadelphia. These were the
only lives saved from the bargcs.
The total loss on barges aud car4oes Is
estimated at $4,000.
Three Of the bodies have been recovered,
but are not yet identified.

could render an impartial verdict, and
took his seat in the jury box.
Samuel l.. Tabor of North Smithfied
had not read tho newspaper reports. lie
took only farmers and poultry paper.
Ho might have seen n little item about
the murder, but was sure he could give an
impartial verdict. No objection was made
to Mr.. Tabor.
Gilman Brown OF Woonsocket had not
formed an opinion, but was excused on
account OF poor health.
Henry +. Prue OF WooDsocket had never
seen anything in the papers about the
case and was not objected to.
Charles q. Buck OF Woonsocket said
thnt he had no opinion In the case and
took his scat on the panel.
Franklin p. Mitchell OF Glocester had
read the newspapers, but had formed no
opinion and was accepted.
Frederick Muson of North Providence
had fully read the reports OF the case. He
had little bias at the time, possibly, but
was sure he could render an impartial
verdict. lie was also accepted.
John u. Bartlett of North Providence
had formed no opinion, though no had
read reports In the newspapers. He took
bis seat on the panel.
William III. Wbipple OF North Provl-
dence bad heard the case spoken OF. In
cross-examinatiou tho juror was asked IL
he had any opinion about the Borden
case. Hereupon Judge Wilbur inter-
posed and said that he did not see
what that had TO do with the present case.
Mr.. McGill said be wished to test the in-
preston which matters OF that characte
nad upon the jurors mind. Mr.. Whipplc
was accepted.
James Crofton OF Cranston had read
the newspaper accounts and conyerscd
concerning the case, but had no opinion
in the matter, lie was accepted.
