Cablegram-Speclal Telegram.)-The only
mail account of the battle of Glencoe yet
published supports the exclusive dispatch OF
three weeks since ascribing General Symons
death to his desperate attempt to save the
day or perish. The Chronicle correspondent
says;
when General Symons reached the firing
line he gave orders that the hill must be
taken"
After two unsuccessful attempts, then the
correspondent adds: when General Symons
saw the position occupied by the enemy he
declared he would show the Dutch that
British soldiers could climb hill as steep
as Majuba in the face OF the hercest Boer
fire."
He was shot while directing the last gal
liant charge.

DEATH OF A FAMOUS COMPOSER
OF RELIGIOUS MELODIES.

Plainfeld n J., Nov. 26.-The Rev.
Dr.. Robert Lowry, the author and COM
poser of religious songs, died this morn
ing at his home, 9O2 Madison avenue.
He was born in Philadelphia in 1926,
and at an early age entered Bucknell
University at Lewisburg, Pa. At one
time he was the pastor of the Bloom
ingdale Baptist church, New York city.
subsequently for eight years he was the
pastor of the Hanson Place Baptist
church, Brooklyn, in 1869 he became
professor of bellies lettres at Bucknell
University. Subsequently he was the
chancellorof Bucknell University. After
he moved 10 Plainfeld there was a di-
vision in the First Baptist church and
new organization was formed, of
which he became pastor. This led to
the erection of the Park Avenue Bap-
fist church at a cost of $4,000. DR..
Lowry was always active in Sunday
school work and held tenaciously to
the distinctive views of Baptists.
His melodies are sung in every Eng
fish speaking land and some of his
hymns have been translated into TO-
reign tongues. He was once asked what
was his method of composition. His
reply was; Il have no method. Some
times the music comes and the words
follow, fitted insensibly to the melody.

AN IMPORTANT MOVE.
Goebel Will Play His
Trumps This
Week.

Frankfort, KY Nov. 26.-sunday
brought a lull in the political situation
to all outward appearances. There
were no significant developments from
Goebel headquarters, though Goebel
and has managers remained in confer
ence during the day. There is a gener-
al impression outside that some impor-
tant move is to be made by the Goe-
pei side early this week, and it is gen
orally supposed that a mandatory in
junction suit to prevent the state cleo
tlon board from counting the vote in
Jefferson, Knox and Johnson counties
VIII be part of it, though this is not
confirmed by any one in authority
1t is doubtful if Gov Bradley would
recognize Goebel as governor if given
certificate of election by the state
election board, unless its action was in
obedience to a ruling of the court. In
that event, it is believed he would re-
sist further, but would advise Taylor
to contest before the Legislature.
Neither Bradley, Taylor nor any of
the republican leaders, however, be-
lieves that the court of appeals, in the
face of it's decision in the Nelson coun-
ty case yesterday, will grant an in
junction and are today more confident
than ever that the state election board
will give Taylor a certificate of cleo
ton. In Taylor circles it is claimed
that two of the three state commits
sioners are sure to vote to stand by the
vote in every county as it appears on
the face of the returns.

SUICIDE AT Her HUSBANDS BIER.

New York, Nov. 26-Mrs. Caroline
Faulkner, a handsome brunette, %
years old, overcome with grief over
the death of her husband, Policeman
Thomas H Faulkner committed sui
eide by taking carbolic acid at her
home, No. 202 East Fifty-second
street, yesterday, and died beside his
body.
Faulkner was attached to the Oak
street station. He was admitted to
the force in 1897, and was 20 years old.
Two weeks ago he contracted a severe
cold, and it developed into pneumonia.
He was removed to Roosevelt hospital
where he died on Friday. Mrs. Faux
ner swooned when she heard the news
of her husbands death. Thereafter all
day she went into paroXysms of grief.
To appease her, her mother, Mrs.
ONeilL, allowed her to go to the Fifty
first street station. She talked with
Acting Captain Langtry, and her grief
was so great that he was deeply af
fected. She repeated her determine
ton to join her husband. Policeman
James Roach also tried to console the
grief stricken woman. She told him
she would kill herself and he tried to
dissuade her. He accompanied her

DR.. Lowry considered Weeping will
not save me- as the most evangelical
hymn he ever wrote. Some of his best
known pieces are: "Shall we gather
at the river" lone more days work
for Jesus" Where is my wandering
boy tonight?" Il need Thee every hour"
and 1.-THE mistake of my life"
In 1880 DR.. Lowry spent four months
in Europe. He took prominent part
in the Robert Raikes centennial in Lon
don. 1t is told of him that while in
London he entered a church and took
a seat near the door. Soon afterward,
as it happened, the congregation be-
gan to sing one of his hymns. A per-
son in the audience discovered the COM
poser and he was led to the platform
amid great enthusiasm on the part of
the congregation. For a number of
years past he held no charge owing to
the fact that he was very deaf. Occa-
sionally, however, he was induced to
preach. He devoted most of his time
to composing hymns. 1t was his custom
to publish at Christmas and Easter a
series of hymns.

The Faulkners lived at No. POP East

floor All day Friday and Friday
night Mrs. Faulkner walked the floor
of the apartments. Her mother watch

kill herself. Every once in a while
Mrs. Faulkner would throw herself on
the coffin of her husband and give way
to uncomfortable grief.
Policeman Ayers of the Oak street
station called at the house yesterday
morning. Ayers condoled with the wi
dow. Finally she became quieter, and
Ayers entered into a conversation with
Mrs. O'NeiH in the front room, where
the body of Faulkner lay. Mrs. Faux
ner, unobserved, left the room. She
soon hurriedly returned and with pa

in it, said:

herself on the coffin. Policeman Ayers

"By the way, the main guy on
a daily rag in this city has
gone out OF his way to misinform
people that, before the week is up,
he would make Freedom suspend
operations. He has been doing
this for several weeks. Every
week he declares will be our last.
He doesn't seem to realize
that this paper has hundred
friends among the good people of
Manila, for every one his rag can
claim. Perhaps he is only jok q.
ing. An owl may as we'll talk of
excluding the elephant from the
jungle as for Franklin Brooks to
talk of driving Freedom to the
wall. We do not think his threats
will influence our friends in the
least. We do not know
how the exceedingly small paper
referred to will accomplish it,

best OF it all is we don't care a

NICARAGUA BILL AFFAIRS

Washington, Jan. Is. - The
feature of today's session of the
Senate was a speech delivered by
Bacon d. of Georgia, in support
of his resolution declaring that
the United States would not as
sumo sovereignty over the Philip
pine Islands. Bacon Is one of the
orators of the Senate, and as he
gave himself free rein, not con-
fining himself to notes, he spoke
strongly and effectually. His
peroration, in which he pictured
the horrors of some of Englsnd's
methods of controlling her colo
NAL subjects, was a beautiful and
forceful bit Of wordpainting.
Following Bacon's speech, the
Nicaragua canal bill was taken up,
and remained under discussion
until 6 o'clock. Amendment after
amendment was voted down, and
until almost the last minute it
seemed likely that vote on the
measure would be reached, but
Just as final vote was about to be
called for Allison (R.) Of Iowa
exploded a bomb under the bill
by Offering an amendment
that the Treasury should
issue bonds to raise money
with which to construct the
canal. The friends of the measure
then consented to an adjournment.
