To-day is Grand Army Day at the
Moundsville camp meeting, and for the
occasion Bishop Fowler is TO deliver
his great lecture at p. m, the subject
of which is abraham Lincoln" The
regular morning exercise will be the
general muster of all the old soldiers
at 1920 o'clock, and it is thought that
every veteran in this neighborhood
will be present
Ats o'clock an o,d-fashioned G. A. R.
campfire will be held, when the SOL
diers will be reminded Of the many
things that took place in the great war
by their comrades. At night Blshop
Fowler lectures at the Prohibition AS
sembly hall, and better place could
not be secured, for it is anticipated
that a tremendous crowd will hear him.
He has delivered this lecture in all or
the principal cities and at much higher
prices. but for this occasion those pur-
chasing tickets to the camp grounds
to-day will be entitled TO hear his lee
ture for the same money. which is the
regular rate, ID C6llIS. 1 uC oSSON4N'N4SAA

Bishop Fowler. and the lecture is some
thing extra which the public should
appreciate and attend. He is also TO
remain at the camp meeting over Sun
day. and is to preach the morning SER
mon as it is expected that Sunday
will be the biggest day of the meeting.
Yesterdays services were fairly we'll
attended and the sermons were preach
ed by Rev. J. S. Robinson and Rev
J. D. Smith. DR.. Swadener conducted
the night service. and as usual much
good was accomplished by his work.
He is a good man for the evangelistic
work and his audiences appreciate
that fact very much. The usual other
services were held at the Young Peo-
pies Temple and were attended by al
most all of the young people on the
grounds. The meeting is now nearly
at an end. but so far it has been as
successful as the one held last year.
The two last days will no doubt be
largely attended, especially as Monday
is Epworth League Day. Many visit
ors are on the grounds this week, but
by the first of September the place will
be nearly deserted. For Sunday the
programme will be as follows: 1920

The explosion caused a wild panic in

the streets were crowded with people
on their way to their homes, and the

crowded with passengers. The flying
missiles from the factory struck a
number of people on the cars, and one

dow fully 400 feet distant had his at
tent1on suddenly attracted to other
matters by a rocket which hit him
squarely in the back. He fell to the

Havana, via Key West. June TO-
The passenger train which leaves Ha-
vana for Matanzas daily at a. m. was
dynamite yesterday about IL miles
from the city by party of insurgents.
According to the official account, the
object was the plunder of about $4,000
which was in the express car. The Of
ficials had ordered the passenger train
to go ahead and a pilot engine to fol-
low. AT a bend in the line terrible
explosion completely wrecked the pas
senger engine, which fell into a pit 29
feet below, dragging three third-class
cars after it. AT the same moment an
other explosion wrecked the pilot en-
gine, which came to the rescue, and it
fell into the pit also.
Both engineers. one fireman. one con-
ductor and seven soldiers were killed,
and three passengers were severely in
jured, while 80 suffered more or less
serious bruises.
TIL two trains were dynamited by
electric machines and bombs placed on
a culvert at the curve. The body or

ly recovered and opened fire upon the

London, June 10.-The latest advices
from Constantinople deny that the
powers are advocating direct negotia-
tions between Turkey and Greece. In
other respects, however, the aspect OF
affairs is rather worse than better. 1t
appears that at Saturdays conference
the ambassadors declined to accept
either Assem- Bey or Slam Bey as
Turkish peace commissioner. This. to-
gether with their refusal to discuss the
retention of Thessaly, threw the sultan
into such rage that he forthwith
summoned a meeting of the special
commission appointed to consider the
terms of peace. All day Sunday he
was. in telegraphic communication with
most of the European capitals, and in
the evening he gave stringent orders
to the grand vizier, who Immediately
resigned. The special commission sat

England will never permit Christians
to return to Turkish rule.
