IS IN HUNTSVILLE
Squads of Men on Streets at Midnight
 Scared Sheriff Grisham

Huntsville, July 10.-(Special.) .)-John Weatherford, who is charged with the as- sassination of his father, Engineer Wealth. erford, at Tuscumbia, Saturday morning, was spirited away from Tuscumba by the sheriff of Colbert county this morning and brought to Huntsville for safe keeping Sheriff Grisham saw several squads of men forming on the streets at midnight, and fearing that an attack was about to be made upon the jail, took Weatherford to the railway junction two miles east of Tus- cumbia and boarded the eastbound South ern train for Huntsville.
 John Weatherford is man of slight build and is about 40 years of age. He is reputed to be a dissipated character. He stoutly denies that he killed his father.
 It is reported that Engineer Weatherford had a will bequeathing all of his money, s6,OOO, to his son. A few days ago he in- formed his son that he intended to make another will and bequeath him only s2,0O0.

JOHN VEATH[RFORD FOUND GUILTY
 OF PATR|C|DE BY CORONER'S JURY
Evidence Introduced Was Conclusive and COmcing, and Left
 No Doubt of the AccUeGs Guilt

assembled quietly but this evening for some time before the calling to order of the two great gatherings, Tents Endeavor and Williston were babies of sounds and scenes. The state, provincial and foreign delegations were grouped in designated punches divided about equally between the two tents Each had it's own particular rally cry, and each delegation took pleas ure in making it known to the extent of its lung power.
 Chairmen of each state and provincial delegation and those from abroad were called to the platform finally and testified each for his people and their associations as Endeavorers.
 pr. J. Wilbur Chapman preached the con- cuding sermon in Tent Endeavorer from the text, Luke 6-6 and 10. The story of the healing of the man with a withered hand. The closing address in Tent Williston was made by Bishop John Vincent, of the Methodist Episcopal church.

MOB VIOLENCE WAS FEARED And Prisoner Was Spirited Away by Sh- : Gresham.
 @f- NOW IN { e HUNTSVILLE JAIL Though : the Sleeping Engineers Lift ance Was Too Much for Young Man to Resist, and
 Made Him an Assassin

Tuscumbia, July 10.-(Special 1.-The cor oners jury in the Weatherford murder case rendered a verdict this afternoon, finding that the deceased engineer was murdered by his son, John Weatherford.
 The evidence introduced was conclusive and convicting. Ninety-ive per cent of the people of Tuscumbia now believe that the murder was committed by young Weatherford, and feeling is bitter against him.
 Probably the most damaging evidence submitted to the jury was that of Charles Moody. Moody is an empoye at the Southern roundhouse. Upon being sworn he testified. in substance, that he saw young Weatherford run out of the railroad yards in which was the train his father was on between 1:3O and ? a. m. the morn- ted at just about this hour, and 1t was a strong link in the chain of evidence against the young man.
 The sheriff evidently feared that the in- dignation of the people would break forth irresistably, for the prisoner, after being arrested was spirited away Saturday night and is now in the jail at Huntsville.
 The most probable motive that could have prompted young Weatherford Is securing his fathers life insurance. It is well known fact that the young man was sorely in need of money, and the insurance on his fathers life, amounting to s3,O00 was not to be despised.

Presidents Last Words

President Clarks last word to the En- deavorers follows:
 Take this convention home with you. New responsibilities are yours. You have now more to account for before the throne of God. Unless you Endeavorers who came to this convention are more faithful more loyal to your church, better supporters of your pastors, more inspired with misslon- ary enthusiasm, you have lost your oppor- tunity, and God will hold you responsible. Take this meeting home with you. You cannot keep it to yourselves and remain guiltless. Take it to your church your city, your home; make this country a bet ter one because we have held our eight eenth international convention of Christian Endeavor.'

TEACHERS SPECIAL
 WAS WRECKED Two Killed While on the Way te the Educational As-
 sOCiation.

Stockton, Cal. July 1O.-A special train of nine coaches filled with teachers on the way to Los Angeles to attend the National Educational association convention, crashed into freight train within 300 yards of the depot at Newman today. Two ladies were killed and thirteen passengers in jured.
 The killed Miss Addie Harris, St. Louis.
 Mrs. Lee Thomas, Seneca Falls, N. Y.
 The injured
 Mrs. Clara Morehouse. Battle Creek Mich.
 Mrs. Elizabeth White, St. Louis.
 Miss May Oliver, St. Louis.
 Miss Helen English, St. Louis
 Miss Sallie D. May Oliver, St. Louis.
 Miss Sallie R. Smith, St. Louis.
 Miss Gertrude Rosenberg, St. Louis.
 Miss Lucia A. Weimer, St. Louis.
 Edwin D. Luckey, St. Louis.
 Robert G. Mills, Lake Creston, s. D.
 Miss G. l.. Morse, Philadelphia.
 Calvin Buttock, St. Louis.
 With the exception of Robert Mills, who was injured about the head, though not fatally, the greater part of the injuries re- ceived by the injured are slight
 The special was going at the rate of forty miles an hour and the freight train was taking water on the main track. The freight train took fire and an empty coach and three flat cars were burned.
 There were no baggage cars between tLa locomotive of the special and the tourist sleepers, so that when the crash came the tender of the locomotive telescoped the sleepers killing the two women in the for- ward berth and injuring thirteen other oc- cupants of the same car. None of the other coaches left the track.
 Further particulars from Newman are to the effect that the injured are doing we'll and none of them in a bad way. Miss Harris was instantly killed, the side of her head being crushed in. She was taken out dead. Mrs. Mammond, an elderly lady, lived about five minutes after being taken from the wreck.
 A special telephone message states that the freight train should have taken the siding at Ingomar but that the orders had been picked up by some outsider whose name could not be learned. The Burling- ton special had the right of way over the Southern Pacific track. The statement is also made that there was no light out back of the freight train which consisted of twenty-eight cars.
 The train hands all refuse to talk or make any statement whatever.

SHOT DOWN BEFORE THE CHURCH ALTAR Prof. Lipscomb Killed While At- tending Divine Service at
 Dallas, Texas.

Houston Tex, July 10.-A special from one of the most startling tragedies Dallas has ever known occurred in the First Chris tian church, Pearl and Bryan streets. In the midst of protracted meeting services John T. Carlisle arose from his seat at the rear of the house and walked to where Prof. William Lipscomb, principal of the Central High school, the leading educational institution of the public schools of the city was seated on the first seat in the front of the altar, and shot him without a word of warning, the weapon used being 3S-calibre pistol.
 Prof. Lipscomb sprang up from hls seat, grappled with his assailant, and toppled over into the aisle. Carlisle was seized and taken to the county jail. He appeared to be almost helplessly drunk, and could not or would not talk of the tragedy Prof. Lipscomb was too badly hurt to be removed from the church. He was laid on the altar, his head resting on his wife's lap and his feet in chair. He was reported dead at 10:45 o'clock Carlisle had for nearly a year been chief janitor of the high school, but failed to be reappointed by the school board about ten days ago. Carlisle attrib- uted his defeat for reappointment to the professors influence with the school board It is believed this was the cause of the mur- der.
 Prof. Lpscomb was native of Nashville Tenn, and came to Dallas four years ago. John T. Carlisle is native of Kentucky a cousin of former Secretary of the National Treasury John G. Carlisle.

Error Was Unaccountabie

T regret to say that the casualty was owing to an unaccountable error on my part. It is about 131 miles from Cape La- hogue to the Lizard, and the run between these points would, I calculated, occupy six hours and forty-five minutes. Unfortunate ly, l reckened the time on this basis for coming up with the Lizard from f35 a. m, when abeam of the Vasquets,i instead of from 6:3S p. m., when abeam of Cape La hogue, and the vessel was thus really IS miles ahead of the position l was acting up- on. In addition the thick weather over the land had obscured the Lizard lights l at tribute the stranding to the above cause and take upon myself the full responsibil- ity for it.
 Captain Watkins makes a statement of his sea service since 1851, during which time he has crossed the Atlantic nearly five hundred times, and to his record as navigating officer of the Paris (cruiser Yale) during the war with Spain, and con- tinues:
 T have thought it right to place these particulars before you in the hope that you will take into consideration long and responsible seafaring career, during which believe l have throughout held the per- feet confidence of my employers The ac- cident was not due to any want of thought or anxiety about my vessel or her safety but arose purely from the mistake I made in making my above described calculations l should add that can only speak in terms of the highest praise of the discipline which under trying circumstances was admirably sustained by my officers and crew."
 Inspectors Report
 The report of the United States local in- spectors follows:
 We have carefully read the report made by Captain Watkins in which he takes the entire responsibility of the disaster upon himself in making a mistake in the time when he passed the Vasquets, and thereby over-running distance. We find that the report is very meagre in detail, inasmuch as he merely states that he made mistake in taking his departure from Cape Lahogue at 7:30, when he was actually abreast of the Vasquets at that time, a distance of about sixteen and one-half miles, This of course, would put him sixteen and one-half miles ahead of his reckoning but would not account for his northward course sey en miles, allowing his intention to pass the Lizard at a distance of three miles, As Captain Watkins does not make any men tion of making any allowance for tide we are of the opinion he had not taken that matter into consideration. In addition to this he makes no mention of having used his lead, and he only discovered 1t was thick over the land when the ship was ashore.
 "Gfving all due considerato to these matters. we are of the opinion that Cap- tain Watkins has not acted with the neces- sary care and attention requisite in the navigation of his vessel which master should have used, and we therefore sus- pend his license as a master of ocean steamers for period of two years.

 Liner Paris. HE IS STILL IN CHARGE Oi the Steamer In Interest of Company
 Of Underwriters. HIS REPORT OF THE ACCIDENT Officers License As Master of Ocean Steamers Taken Away for Two Years by Board of U. s.
 Local Inspectors.
HIS REPORT OF THE ACCIDENT

New York, July 10.-The report of Cap tain Watkins of the stranding of the Ameri- can liner Paris was made public today by the local board of steamboat inspectors. Captain Watkins makes no attempt to evade responsibility for the accident, but on the contrary says frankly that the stranding of the ship was the result of an unaccountable error on his part. The ac- cident, he says, was not due to any want of thought or anxiety about his vessel, but resulted from a mistake he made in call culating the position of the ship. The local inspectors have suspended Captain Wat kins' license as master of ocean steam- CTS for two years. Captain Watkins is still in charge of the Paris and is acting in the interests of the underwriters to whom the ship was turned over by the Ameri- can line officers.

Capt. watkins' Report

The report of Captain Watkins, made un- der oath is as follows:
 T was master of the steamer Paris when bound for New York via Cherbourg and at 5:21 o'clock p. m. of the same day she arrived at Cherbourg. We sailed for New York at 552 D. m. At 1:19 a. m of the Fist of May land was suddenly seen ahead and reported. The helm was immediately put hard to starboard and the port engine was put full speed astern, but directly after wards the vessel struck on the rocks which proved to be about as cables length from the beach.
 "It was discovered to be thick weather, although no fog was seen The first light which had not previously been seen ap- peared bright and clear about thirty five minutes after the vessel struck. We re- versed the engine full speed. but the vessel remained fast, and we then fired distress signals and swung out the boats. Assist ance arrived, and shortly after daylight the passengers, mails and baggage were sent ashore to Falmouth. During the day the vessel began to make water in various con- partments, and such water had increased until 1t is in every compartment. Practi- cally the whole of the cargo was dis charged, large portion undamaged, and efforts by the underwriters and owners have made at great expense to get the yes. sel off, but she Is still on the rocks, and is full of water fore and aft. No lives were lost or any personal injury caused by the accident

REYNOLDS NOW PRODUCES LETTER
 MENTIONED IN REPLY ID COMMITTEE
Chief Executive Said in Effect if Constitutional Convention Bill
 Passed He Would Veto Appropriation Bill

went the next morning to the govern or's office and appealed to him to sign our bill, which was at that time lying on his desk. He said he would not sign our bill as long as that $600,00 bill was before the senate. Captain Plowman then said: Governor, tell us frankly what you would have us to-
 "'The governor replied:T want that bill defeated in the senate
 "Capt. Plowman asked him how we could accomplish that purpose.
 ''The governor said: Go up and get a change of reference of the bill from the educational committee to the finance committed; then have the consideration of it postponed indefinitely, and 1 will sign the bill
 Captain Plowman replied: You are putting a considerable task on us, but we will do all we can in the matter
 We left the governors office and went to look for some of the members of the educational committee to see if we could have 1t done. My recollection is and think the records of the senate will bear me out that the change of reference was effected, and that the bill was re- ported adversely by the finance commit tee. Later on the bill, which finally passed, creating an additional tax for the support of common schools, was in troduced in the house, and the $6O0,OO0 bill was lost sight of in the senate"
 Reynolds Was Surprised
 After this explanation by MT Reynolds. Captain Reynolds further stated that in re- ferring to the note in his reply to the com mittee he had no idea he was touching upon tender ground with the governor, and was surprised at his quick denial, which gave evidence that the matter of his opposition to the common school bill was giving the governor more concern than his connection with the convention episode.
 Captain Reynolds went on to detail other occurrences of like nature. which, if occa- sion arises, will show the real attitude of the governor. Some of these things dis close trading and dictation from the gov- ernor's office, and if all the facts were known about the governors connection with the legislature for the Girls school, all his past known record would be eclipsed. Cap tain Reynolds has the air of a man who Is loaded for bear.
