THE coLoRED FIREMEN.

Yesterday afternoon the colored Vol
unteer firemen of the county. consisting
of the Rescue Steam Fire Company
and the Ready and willing Hook and
Ladder Company, paraded the principal
streets of the city. headed by a brass
band, which enlivcned the occasion
with popular airs. The parade was In
honor of Emancipation Day and the
companies looked we'll and turned out
in large numbers. These colored COM
panies render valuable aid in the coun-

and extinguishing others when the sur
rounding conditions admit of It. They

ONE WOMAN KILLED OUTRIGHT
And Her Companion Rendered Uncon-
scious BY An Accident.

Yesterday morning there was driven
over the Deep Creek shell road n sty-
lish horse and buggy, in which We're
seated two very fashionably- attired
women. These women passed through
the village of Deep Creek, and gentle
man who saw them said his idea was
that they were on pleasure bent, and
had decided to take a good long drive
as the best means of enjoyment But
their pleasure was hort-lived. for on
reaching Il point about three miles be-
yond the village. Il fatal accident oc-
Cured, the following particulars being
obtained by the Virginian Pilot:
When about the point mentioned. the
horse, it is thought. became frightened,
and ran away. finally throwing the wo-
men into n very deep ditch. the buggy
landing up them. The horse also went
into the ditch and was so badly
crippled that 1t was afterward killed by
Constable Ross Evans.
How long the women lay in that no
sition and condition is not known, but
at any rate, some traveller passed that
way and discovered the sad condition
of affairs and gave the alarm, and soon
thereafter a considerable number of
people congregated. all anxious to do
all they could to help the victims of the
sad accident. But one of the women
was found to be beyond all earthly aid.
for in the accident her neck had been
broken and her death was instanta-
neous. The name of this unfortunate
is y SneS JeAasen,-aad- HEP resi- efaete- is
No. lis Church street. Norfolk.
The woman who was her companion
received injuries of such a nature that
she lay unconscious for hours. but
finally revived, when it was found that
her inquiries were not OF n serious ma
ture. She lived at the same address
as the one killed. and her name is
Lbbie Land.
Justice Trent held an inquest on the
body of the dead woman, and the YER
dict of the jury was that death resulted
from an accident.
After all these forms OF the law had
been complied with the unfortunate
victims of the accident were brought to
this city and the Land woman sent to
her home, in Norfolk. The remains of
the johnson woman followed later.
The latest theory advanced is that
the women attempted 10 turn the bug
gy in too little space, and were thrown
into the ditch.

!, CONGREGATION

Sunday morning, in accordance with
the announcement made in the Vir-
ginian- Pilot of that date, Rev. j. b.
Funston, rector of Trinity Episcopal
church, announced to his congregation
his final decision in reference to his ac-
ceptance or refusal of the great honor
bestowed upon him by the Episcopal
General Convention, which recently
convened in the city OF Washington, d.
c., by electing him to the Bishopric Of
Boise.
The reverend gentleman said he had
meditated deeply upon the question,
and that he had prayed that he might
be directed in the proper direction, not
that he should be elevated or made
more prosperous or influential, but that
the cause of Almighty God might be
promoted by his action in this, to him,
very important step.
He said he had arrived at the con-
clusion not to accept the Blshopric to
which he had been elected, but to cling
to his church and people here; and he
emphasized the conviction that his
duty was to remain with Trinity
church Mr.. Funston spoke very feel
ingly on the subject, and more than
one of his hearers were moved to tears,
so joyful was the good news.
The decision of the beloved rector
of Trinity was received with genuine
exhibited manifestations of delightful
approval, an%sr~at' the Conclasiofi OF Z" TIE
service Mr. Funston was quickly sur.
rounded by members of his congrcga-
ton, who expressed in terms of warm
affection much qualification at his de-
clSion.

tanned the following In reference to Mr.
Funsten's declination:
REV. James DNwen EI,oetap ~.
jealous and popular rector of Trinity
Episcopal church, Portsmouth. will not
accept the bishopric of Boise.
He has reached this decision after
mature and prayerful consideration,
having taken more than two months to
weiGh the matter carefully in his
mind.
The position OF Missionary Bishop

honor and usefulness. and, being i'm

Is engaged.

THAT OVERTIME MATTER.
The Law Provides That Overtime in
the Navy Yards Shall BE Paid
for AS in Private Yards.

Apropos of the agitation of the over
time question by those who gave to the
Government more than the regulation
eight hours day in the navy yard dur
ing the war rush. the following facts
concerning the League Island yard
Will be of interest:
THE eight hour law provides that
overtime in the navy yards shall be
paid for at the rates paid in private
shipyards. In paying the men ut the
League Island navy yard this law was
followed. Navy yard employees who are
criticising Lieutenant Knapp claim
that he probably did rot know of the
law when he took UP the investigation.
and that il he did he certainly failed
to bring it prominently to the alton
ton of his superiors. Had II been gem
orally known it is urged there would
not have been two Investigations ana
n court martial.
That 1t is realized that the Navy
Department is In n plight is shown by
the fact that Congress has been ap-
pealcd to to help the officials out. 4
bill has been introduced into both the
House and Senate which provides for
the payment of time and half-tima for
all overtime at League Island during
the war rush. 1t Is under such n law
that the payments made in violation
OF navy yard regulations will be le-
EaliZed and oil men from whose wages
deductions were made will receive the
full amount Besides this. in all the
other departments at the yard, except
-effe, fuffUvTJf Uni
all those men will also receive the so
per cent. Increase for overtime. making
altogether quite n large sum to be paid
out. With this end in view pay rolls,
or the various departments have been
ordered sent to Washington. and some
nave already been dispa tched."

New York. June 7.-But one more day OF
training remains for Jeffries and Fitz-

Coney Island Athletic Club and in order
to rest little before the fight the two
are training less vigorously today. To-
morrow they will do practically nothing.
and on Friday will do nothing more than
punch the bag for twenty minutes or SO.
Jeffries expects to leave his quarters at

will be accompanied to this city by Man.
ager Brady. who has been with him almost
constantly for two weeks. He will go to
Coney Island and will take possession of
his quarters in the clubhouse Immediately
upon his arrival.
At Bath Beach today will be a quiet one
for Fitzsimmons. Yesterday the cham
pion did his last hard work. and with the
exception Of a little bag punching and
round or two Of glove work he will now
rest. Tomorrow will be day of absolute
quiet for him. Accompanied by his train
ers. he will go to his quarters at Coney
Island late in the afternoon. Much inter-
est will centre about the weighing in of the
siderable effect upon the ringside betting.
1t has been said that Fitzsimmons would
go into the fight weighing only l57 pounds.
That statement has never come from his
trainers OF from anyone else in authority.
and may be untrue. It Is fact, though,
that Fitzsimmons is trained very finely.
