THAT SANCTIFIED BAND.
JOSEPH LYNCH AND HIS SANCTI-
FLED BAND DRIVEN FROM
NORTH CAROLINA.

Southport, N. c., Sept. IA new war
has been started against the followers
Of Joseph Lynch and his "sanctifed
band" dwellers in the "arks." or fat
bottomed boats, each carrying a house
hold of four persons. Driven from
ChincOteague, Virginia. into North
Carolina the "holy people" have been
forced from the Chowan river where
they first settled in this state, to South
port, near the southern border. and the
new war against them may result in
their being driven from the state. So
strong Is the sentiment against them
that the people around Southport
threaten to take the law into their own
hands unless the state authorities take
Steps to rid the state OF these religious
fanatics.
The leader OF the "sanctlhed band"
is a white man named Joseph Lynch.
Five years ago he was a farm hand in
Virginia From that he became wan
dering preacher. Then he conceived the
idea that he and his followers were
sanctiiied and could not sin. Sarah
Collins, who is also a fluent talker, be-
came his chief assistant, and during the
years that have followed has aided in
the work OF spreading the doctrine Of
sanctification.
1t is the result Of the teaching OF this
doctrine to which the people object.
One letter to Governor Russell. asking
him to order the proseeItiol cf Lynch
and his followers, says that they have
corrupted the people In several coast
counties and have caused women 10 de-
sert their husbands. The people On the
arks are all white, though they seek
negro converts. A few negro preach
ers Of the sanctlfcation doctrine have
gone into the interior OF the state. One
fed, taking with him nine women
nearly all married-and was arrested
at Norfolk Another is now working
on the public roads here under sen.
tence Just what legal steps will b'
taken has not been decided. Tho gov
ernor has placed the matter ic tho
hands OF two prosecutors. ari they ar
securing testimony This Is difficult u
secure. because members Of tie ban'
decline to testify.

QUEENSTOWN OWING TO THE
HEAVY FREIGHT BUSINESS.
Baltimore, Sept. THE Queen Anne
railroad has withdrawn it's excursions
to Queenstown, owing to the heavy
freight business which the company
is handling.
Queenstown is the western terminus
of the railroad, and the heavy move
ment of freight from this place for Bal
timOre has prevented the company
from operating it's excursion business
on schedule time. Frequent delays
were caused in loading the freight on
the steamer, and it was decided for
the present to stop the excursion busi-
ness.
The Queen Anne railroad is com
pleted and in operation to Milton, Del
and the contractors who are building
the road, Wade, Burns & Co. have q
large force of men pushing the line tC
Lewes, Del, the eastern terminus. Al

CAN BE USED ALL THE YEAR AND
BE CHANGED ENTIRELY OR
PARTLY TO TIGHT OR OPEN
CAR-CENTRE AISLE AND ARM
SEATS.
One of the most remarkable street
cars ever made in this country is on its
way to Inglewood N. J.
1t was built by the Jackson and
Sharp Company for the Bergen County
Traction Company, and will prove an
innovation in street railroading. 1t is
the first one of the kind yet turned out,
and is a great credit to the Whining

CHANGED IN A TWINKLING.
made for use in both Summer and
Winter, sunshine and storm. and es
pecially intended for service on subur-
ban or mountain lines, where a sudden
change in the weather often proves
serious consequence to passengers. This
car can be closed in the twinkling of an
eye.
CEILING AND SIDES CURVED.
Peculiar as it looks, the horseshoe
shape of the sides and ceiling, curving
up and around from sill to sill, the
shape is nothing to be considered in
comparison to the qualms of warm and
cold passengers, to old maids, young
mothers. or hardy laborers and stout
boys. Everybody is accommodated.
By simply touching a spring a Sec
tiOnal side may be let down or up, for
either the accommodation of one pas
senger or for the entire carload. Even
| the windows are curved and can be
thrown all the way up into the grooved
Roof. They are made of bent plate
glass.
THE "DUPLEX'S" FITTINGS.
Aside from its remarkable lightness
and convenience, the duplex" is beau
tifully finished and furnished. 1t is y

of quartered oak veneer. 1t is mount
ed on Peckham trucks. which have
feet of wheel base and 33 inch wheels.
The furnishings are Hale & Kilburr
