RACES POSTPONED.
Riders Leave for Charleston to Fill An
 other Engagement.

Last nights bicycle races at the coliseum were not held on account of rain, much to the regret of the racing devotees.
 The events have not been postponed, but have been declared off indefinitely. The challenge race between Bob Walthour and Eli Winesett for purse of s20O, which was to have been finished last night, has been declared off with the consent of totA Ii CT as they had engagements for the races at Charleston during the next few days which they could not break. It will be remem- bered that in the first heat of this contest, a distance of five miles, which was run Wednesday night, Walhourt won and everybody wanted to see the contest fin ished but the race had already been post poned several days and the riders could not wait longer
 All of the prizes of the Wednesday night races, both professional and amateur, have been paid. The management expects to have at least one, and probably two more meets on the track before the cold weather sets in for good. It is expected that thero will esome fine racing weather during the next few weeks.

 Episcopal Convention. SCHEME HAILED WITH JOY Hope Expressed That Excessive Arma-

 Over the Resolution.
THANKS RETURNED TO ENGLAND

Washington, October 20-At the meeting of the house of deputies of the Episcopal convention today the following letter to the czar of Russia was agreed upon:
 ''To His Majesty, the Czar of Russia:
 "The general convention of the Protes- tant Episcopal church, composed of bishops clergymen and laymen, halls with joy the great peace manifesto which your majesty has issued. We earnestly hope that the conference may result in reduc- tion of the excessive armaments, which are crushing burden on the peoples and in the establishment of method for the tranquil settlement of international dffi- culties which may preserve the principles of equity and right whereon rest the se- curity of states and the welfare of peoples.
 Your majestys appeal to international discussion will stimulate the consciences of civilized nations, and the inauguration of this notable and noble move may well be considered happy effort for the preser- vation of good will hereafter. We earnest ly invoke upon it the blessing of Almighty God, and pray that it may help greatly to hasten the coming kingdom of the Prince of Peace on earth"
 The letter was agreed to-270 to fl.

TRAM GAR WITH
 BURNING POWDER Badly Frightened Employees of
 Powder Plant at BoyIes.
RUNNING DOWN AN IINCLINE
William Hermon and Henry Jones, Who Had Charge of It, Were Blown Into the Air. But Not Seq
 riously Injured.

A Disastrous powder explosion was nar- rowly averted at the Birmingham Powder company's plant at BoyIe's Gap Wednes- day afternoon.
 Two employees of the company, William Herman and Henry Jones. were taking a tram-car loaded with four barrels of pow der dust from the mixing department of the plant down to the coining mill. The track on which the tram-car runs Is in- clined downward toward the coining mill, and crosses a creek by means of a trestle twelve feet high.
 In the handling of powder dust on these tram-cars, a great deal of it is spilled. As the car which Herman and Jones were run ming approached the trestle, 1t began to go too fast and the men put on breaks. The theory is that they did so too suddenly, the friction causing some of the powder which had been sprinl1led over the car to ignite. Whatever the cause, the powder exploded with a great flare, although there was comparatively little explosion. This was because the powder was in open tubs.
 The explosion threw the two men off the car and the flames burned all the leaves off the trees overhead. The car, which had not been thrown off the track, continued it's course down the incline, having on board the tubs which had been set on fire by the explosion. Straight on toward the coining mill the car with its flaming load ran, and it was evident if it ever entered the doors, where there was many kegs of powder be- ing manufactured, that the whole plant as well as many lives, would be lost. A. L. Robertson, the powder boss, saw the danger and took quick measures to stop the car. He ran out on the track directly in front of the approaching car and stopped

admitted to the state. This notice was somewhat of a surprise, as it was never known in Birmingham that Tennessee had any such quarantine.
 Health Officer W. H. Sanders, who has been in Birmingham for the past two days went to Montgomery yesterday afternoon. He remained over in Birmingham to adjust the quarantine regulations to the new or der of things since the restrictions had been removed from all points north of Siluria. Quarantine officers still run into Birming- ham on many of the trains, this being necessary to see that the law is enforced in cities and towns south of Siluria.
 pr. Sanders stated yesterday that he, as yet, had no idea when the quarantine would be raised from the middle and southern districts of the state. Last year the quar- antine on the northern part of the state was removed on November 5, from the mid- de part on November 13, and from the southern part on November 20 from the whole state.

and the motion to table was lost The resolution was then adopted by viva voce vote. As adopted the resolution is as follows:
 The Resolution
 Resolved, That this general convention of the Episcopal church of the United States of America places on record It's sense of deep qualification at the many manifes- tations Of friendly feeling to our nation which have been so freely and cordially shown by the government and empire of Great Britain in the late war with Spain, and expresses the sincere hope that the time may speedily arrive when the two great nations of the Anglo-Saxon family, the United States of America and the Brit ish empire, shall stand together in defense of the rights and liberties of mankind and for the promoting of Christian civilization among the nations of the earth"
 On the invitation of the presiding officer the dean of Herford addressed the conven- tion and expressed his hearty thanks as an Englishman and for his country for the cordial resolution just adopted. He rejoiced at the friendly feeling between the two great nations. It tended to no warlike al- liance, he said, but to that natural union between those of common tongue and tra- dition. Instead of making war the alliance of the two natious would do more for peace, the dean said, than any other move ment of nations. He closed with an ex- preSS1on or his intense deSlre TOT the unlIy- ing of the two countries.
 Day of Final Adjournment By unanimous vote the house adopted resolutian fixing Tuesday, October 20, as the day of final adjournment The house of bishops took important action today in selecting four missionary bishops Owing t othe solemnity of this proceeding it was preceded by holy communion. The ballot ing followed with the following result:
 For Boises Idoho Rev. James Bowen Funster, rector of Trinity church, Ports mouth, Va; for Sacramento, Rev. W. Hall Mooreland, rector of St. Luke's church. San Francisco; for North Dakota. Rev s. c. Edsell, rector of St. Peters church, Chica- go Presiding bishop of Brazil, Rev. Lu- clen Lee Kinsolvo, of Virginia, and brother of Bishop Kinsolvo, of Texas.
 The house proceeded to the election of bishop of Asheville, N. C., at D. m.
 The report to the house of deputies of the committee of state churches presented a comparative survey of the work of the last three years. It frankly pointed out retrogressions in some respects. The total contributions of the last threee years for all purposes reached $31 ,541 ,178. There has beeen an increase of bishops from 70 to S3; of clergymen from 4,O22 to 4,2S0 The number of baptisms has been 192. .725 con- firmations, 134,741 communfcants, 681 645.

SECRETARY KERR
Writes EncouragIngly About Prospect
 for Democratic Success This Fall.

Selma, october 2o-(special)-The Dallas county democratic campaign committee is in receipt of the appended letter from Sec retary Kerr of the congressional campaign committee. It was written in reply to a letter asking the outlook of democracy s success in November:
 Headquarters %~3e
 Democratic Congressional Committee,
 726 Thirteenth street, Northwest,
 Washington. D. C., Oct. 1T, 1898. R. E. L.. Mel, Esq, Secretary Democratic Campaign Committee, Selma, Ala.
 Dear Sir:-The day of election approaches. The time for action is here. Democratic control of congress is absolutely essential to stop the passage of more and worse re- publican legislation (concocted by the Quays, the Hannas, the Platts and the Reds), and to prevent the issue of more bonds which will be issued by the millions if the republicans have their way. Rouse all those who believe in the cause of good government and urge them to bring every possible means to bear to rally the good democrats to the polls on election day. It is with pleasure we say to you, that the ob- servation of this committee, leads us at this moment to write that the democratic party will proclaim glorious triumph on the Sth of next November, and those who be- iieve in equal rights for all and special prigileges to none, will be represented by

1t with his foot. He then quickly pushed 1t back to the creek and dumped its contents into the water.
 Herman and Jones, the two men who had been in charge of the car, were not badly injured. Jones had lot of powder dust in his shoes, which caught fire and burned his feet badly. Hermans clothes caught on fire just as the car reached the trestle ,and he promptly jumped off into the water, tearing his clothes off as he went. He says the first thing he remembers in the ex- citement of the occasion was that he found himself in the creek, practically naked.
 As no great damage had been done, the men in charge of the mill did not report the accident to the main office in town until yesterday morning.

 Thanks to England
 Rev. B. w. R. Taylor, of Los Angeles, said that in view of the action relative to the czar of Russia it was eminently proper that the house adopt the pending resolu- tion expressing thanks to Great Britain for the sympathy shown toward the United States during the recent war with Spain It was particularly appropriate on this oc- casion, he said, while an eminent English churchman, the Dean of Herford, was pres- ent.- Rev. Taylor referred to the satisfac- ton expressed by President Mckinley at the course of Great Britain during the re- cent war period.
 The resolution aroused spirited contro- versy. MT. J. H. Stotsenburg of Indiana, urged in vigorous language that the resolu- tion had no place before church conven- tion, but was political in character and was more proper for the consideration of con- gress. o1
 It was urged also that the resolution tended toward a political alliance between the United States and Great Britain.
 When MT. Stotsenburg moved to table the resolution there were murmurs of mo, mo-"
