CLERGYMAN SUICIDES.
OLD AGE AND MBLANCHOLIA
CAUSED THE FATAL DEED.
Had the Blue Blood of the Puritan Stock in
His Veins and the Profound Wisdom
Of Yale in His Brains.

New York, Oct. 23.-A special to the
Herald from Hartford, Conn, says:
The Rev. Thomas Stoughton Potwin,
NJ. A., one of the best known Congre-
gationalist clergymen of New Eng
land. has committed suicide at his
home in this city. Mr.. POtwin had
been in poor health for some time
and since a recent development Of
melancholia had been under the care
of Dr. Stearns, of the insane retreat.
While his family were away yesterday
afternoon he went to an upper room
and hanged himself with a rope fas-
tened to the. door knob. Mr.. Pot
win was a descendant of Elder Brews-
ter, who came over in the Mayflower
and by intermarriage his ancestors
were doubly related to Jonathan Ed
wards and the elder Timothy Dwight.
president of the Royal college. He
was born in East Windsor, Conn,
April 4, 1929, and was graduated with
high honors at Yale in 1851, exactly
100 years from the time when his
great grandfather, also a clergyman,
received his diploma there.
Mr.. Potwin studied at the famous
East Windsor Theological seminary,
received the degree of NJ. A, at Yale
in 1855, was licensed to preach in
1858, and became a tutor at Yale.
He married Harriet Amelia King,
a member of prominent Boston fam
lily.
During the war Mr.. Potwin preach
ed in Franklin, n. Y. After that he
preached in Amherst, Mass, until he
came here in 1875 and with his wife
took charge of the Hartford Orphan
asylum. His work in establishing a
colony for the orphans in Nebraska,
attracted much attention in the Chris
tan world.
In 1887 his health caused him to
abandon work and he went to Flor
ida, returning to this city soon after
wards where he had lived quietly ever
since. He was man of rare schol-
arly attachments. He leaves a wild
ow and two adopted children, Clara
Brewster Potwin, now teaching in
New Jersey, and Fred. Thomas Pot
win, of East Windsor.

AMERICAN SYNDICATE.
SAID TO HAVE SECURED ENGLISH
UNDERGROUND RAILWAYS.
Deal by Which the English Will be Put on
A Footing With the Rapid Transit
Progress of Cousin Jonathan.

st. Louis, Oct. 23.-The Republic
says this morning: "A stupendous
deal, involving a radical change in the
proprietorship and operation of one
the most extensive street railway
properties in the world has bene prac-
tically completed. An American syn
dicate, it is said, has secured control
of the famous underground railways
of London, England. The syndicate
was formed in Toronto, Canada, and
Ross Mckenzie is at the head of it.
Capitalists from New York, Philadel-
phia and other cities are also interest
ed and one of the heaviest investors
is stated to be a well known St.Louis
man, whose name for the present is
withheld. The amount called for in
order to capture the British prize, has
not yet been ascertained, but it is
away up in the millions as the under
ground roads of London have an enor-
nous capitalization and constitute
magnificent property. Owing to the
cost in acquiring real estate, compen-
sating other owners, diverting drain
age, making tunnels, ETC., the under
ground road averaged in many por-
lions a cost of 100000 a mile. In
order to properly appreciate the mag
nitude of this deal and to the extent
to which it is illustrative of American
enterprise ,progressiveness and daring,
the present status of the underground
railway system of the English me-
troplis must be well understood. I'm
like this country Great Britain has
for years been at a standstill with re-
CARDS to means of rapid transit in
cities. There are not dozen cleo
trio railways in that country, not
a single cable road and the highest
achievement in street cars, as a rule
is the horse tramway."

THE SEM|-ANNUAL MEETING
=ft l-.,t -----f
Of the North Alabama Presby-
terry at BeSSemer.
CHURCH REPORTS HEARD
The Work Is Encouraging Although Evil So
cial Influences Are Prominent Locally
and Elsewhere.

The semi-annual meeting OF the North
Alabama presbytery was begun Tuesday
morning in Bessemer at the First Presby-
terrain church. The presbytery embraces
about fourteen counties, with about sixty
churches. %
Fourteen of these churches are In JEFF
ferson. The attendance, though not as
large as light be wished, was very good,
and the reports show that church work
has advanced since the last meeting, even
under many unfayonable conditions.
Rev. w. II. Richardson of Gadsden was
chosen moderator, and Rev. f. e. Mad
dox of Birmingham was made temporary
clerk Stated Clerk Rev. W. j. Sinnott
of Columbiana is in attendance.
An interesting and impressive sermon
was preached Tuesday night by Rev. ID.
D. Curry of the First Presbyterian
church of Birmingham before the pres
bytery and large congregation OF Bes-
semer Presbyterians. He selected for his
text the first and fourteenth verses of
Timothy 1.
The following divines were received
into the presbytery:
Rev. r. j. Beattie of Canada, Rev. w.
T. McElroy, Rev. j. S. Brown and Rev.
James Leslie.
The presbytery took steps to install
Rev w. 7. McElroy as pastor of Wood
w .
the Tuscumbia church.
Mr.. Charles Ragnal was received as a
candidate for the ministry =;
Church Extension.
1t was decided to organize "a church at
East Florence, where 1t is believed an
earnest congregation will be formed. 1t
is probable also that congregation may
be formed at Athens, in Limestone coun-
ty.
Rev. Mr.. Allison and Rev. Dr. Brice
are unable to attend the presbytery, the
latter owing to illness and the former
owing to the sickness of his wife.
The presbytery offered prayer for Mrs.
Allison and DR.. Brlce.
Sabbath School Conference.
An interesting conference of Sabbath
schools was held yesterday afternoon, led
by Rev. j. A. Brown of Birmingham The
reports show active interest in text work
and church improvement.
Narratives and Reports
consumed nearly all of yesterday and last
light. The narratives gave full accounts
the religious conditions and the statisti-
cal reports showed to advantage the char
acter of the work undertaken. About
fifty of the churches reported to the .'es-
bytery in this manner. The narratives
indicate that social evils abound. al
though their influence has little effect
within the pale of the church.
The report of the South Highlands
Presbyterian church alluded to the re-
cent race meeting and fashionable card
clubs as demoralizing social agents To-
cally. The services of the pastor DR..
Barbour, were declared eminently satis-
factory and highly commendabe.
An Interesting Talk. =
was made by Mr. Marx Levi, the con-
verified Jew. He spoke of his change OF
religious convictions at length, and testi-
fled to the beauties of the Christian faith.
After hearing all the reports the con-
vention adjourned until $3.50 o'clock to-
day
The presbytery will close, it Is be-
lieved Friday or Saturday next.
