a SPLIT
In the Pan-P Presbyterian Alliance
Narrowly Averted.

WASHINGTON, October A split
on political lines was narrowly averted
in the meeting of the Pan-Presbyter-
ian Alliance to-day. The trouble grew
out of a resolution yesterday favoring
arbitration as a solution for the differ
ences between Great Britain and the
Transvaal. Opposition to this was
raised on the ground that arbitration
was out of place between a sovereign
State and one CT its dependencies.
There are two South African delegates
to the meeting, Rev.; P. c. J. Meiring.
of Johannesburg. and Rev. H. S. Bes-
man, Of Pretoria. Mr.. Bosnian left here
on Monday for Africa in response TO a
eablegram begging him to come back
to his people because Of the threaten
ing war outlook. DR.. Meiring soon az
ter the session opened this morning.
presented a letter to the chairman OF
the meeting. This was referred without
reading to the conference committee.
Though its contents were not made
public, it was soon made known that
a request from the Boer member to
have his name stricken from the rolls
as an evidence of his displeasure at the
slight put Upon his country, At the
afternoon session, however, an adjust
ment was reached. DR.. Meiring was
induced to withdraw his letter of resig-
nation and the chairman presented the
following resolution, which was unan-
imously adopted:
in view of the present distressing
situation between Great Britain and the
Transvaal, it is the earnest hope and
prayer of this alliance that a peaceful
solution of the present crisis may be
reached"
Upon the adoption of this resolution,
it was moved that a prayer should be
offered for the contamination of this
much desired event. The chairman,
therefore, called upon the venerable
Dir. Cavan, the father of the alliance,
who offered a simple heartfelt prayer
for peace.
Aside from the political furry caused
by the action of DR.. Meiring, there was
little of interest in the days session.
1t was decided to establish a permanent
Office of the alliance in London. Re
ports were heard on the mission work
of the alliance in Europe and South
| America.

JEALOUSY
Caused Charles Rankin to Murder
His Former Sweetheart and Her
Husband---Committed Suicide.

ST. LOUIS, October A special TO
the Post Despatch from Montgomery,
Mo-, says Fraud Walker and his
bride were murdered to-day by Charles
Rankin. a disappointed lover, who then
killed himself. A child was seriously
wounded by the shots that killed the
couple. All concerned in the tragedy
were prominent residents OF Mont
gomery county.
The murder occurred at the home of
James Cook, nine miles south of here.
where the couple and their friends had
gone to eat the wedding supper.
Walker, who had no relatives, work
ed around the farm. Tuesday after
noon he and Miss Maud Goshorn drove
to Montgomery and were married. They
then drove out to the Cook home, where
a supper was prepared. A company of
we'll wishers gathered. The bride and
groom sat side by side at the head Of
the table in front of an u~ncurtained
window, when Rankin shot the couple,
firing with a shotgun through the win
dow. Both were instantly killed. their
heads being riddled with shot. A child,
a member Of the Cook family, was bad
ly wounded.
No one saw the murderer and his
identity was unknown until his dead
body was stumbled over outside the
house.
A letter left by Rankin revealed the
fact that he was a rejected sutton of
Miss Goshorn's, and that he committed
the murder because she married an
other.

PROF. GENTRY's SHOW.

Two large audiences at the Island

performance given by the trained dogs

ton of Prof. Gentry. Prof. Gentry ha:
certainly accomplished wonders in
bringing out the intelligence of dumt
animals. They do things which are al
most human, and surprises follow each
other with such rapidity that the audi
ences are lost in amazement, and are
kept wondering what next manifesto

given. This will be the last day OF
the show, and it must be seen to be
appreciated.

lite for the Wilson stake, was never
better than second; Shade On, fourth
in the first heat. won the next three
and the race, making every pole a win
ming one and landing the money in q
comparatively easy manner
The Abbott was favorite at $40 to
$50 in the free for all, but just when
Geers was ready to make his race at
the three-quarter pole, he bolted en-
tirely across the track. This perform
NICE was duplicated in the next heat,
Bingen finishing first in both. 1t was
easy then for The Abbott, who had no
trouble in landing the next three heats
and the race. From a time standpoint,
the race was a disappointment.
Thomas w. Lawson, Of Boston, who

played The Abbott heavily after he had
lost heats. He is reported to have
placed $1,000 in the pools on The AD-
bolt. This is The Abbott's tenth

temporary exhilaration, followed by
restlessness. He regarded the doctor
as childish, and of unsound mind. He
was worse at some times than at 9th

childishness, he said the doctor had
several times asked him to open CORE

accompanied DR.. Pipes as far as Gin

happened to go to the Office. His tes-

that of DR.. Hall, whom he c~orroborated
in many points, although his acquaint-
lance with DR.. Pipes was very slight
in comparison with DR.. Hall.
DR.. J. Schwinn was the last witness
called in the afternoon. He testified
that he saw DR.. PIPES at the time he
was starting on his last journey to the
