GOOD WORK OF BISHOP GRAY.
He Is Arranging TO Found a school
for Young Ladies.

Orlando. Fla. Aug. 5.-Among other
plans in connection with his work here
Rt. Rev. William Crane Gray, Bishop of
the diocese of South Florida Q1piscopaD,
has long entertained one for the found
ing of a high-grade school for young la
dies
Bishop Gray is a tireless worker. He
forms his plans with elaboration and
then works for their accomplishment with
zeal which falters at no obstacles. Since
he came here he has taken upon himself
a missionary work in connection with the
Seminole Indians. In the face OF a preiu-
ciee on the part of these people, against
the ways, the customs and the religion
of the white man. he has entered their
territory and has so far won their conf
oence that he has been able 90 establish
missions among them, and he makes reg
ular trips to and through their country,
preaching and teaching. More than that,
the Indians have become interested, and
they come out 90 the mission services and
accept the instruction impaired to them.
This is the sort of man which con-
ceived the idea of the girls school in
Orlando, and who at last sees the way
clear to che accomplishment of this pur-
pose.
Pcll-Clarke Hall will open It's first term
about the first of October. A suffi-
Client number of pupils have al
ready been secured to make success
certain from the start. Two accomplished
and experienced ladies have been engaged
as teachers. Through the generosity of
Mr.. Leslie Pel-Clarke most desirable
building for the purpose is made availa-
bic. 1t is a handsome structure. built
a few years ago as private residence by
Judge Copeland. now deceased 1t stands
upon the bank of Lake Eola, one of the
pretty little lakes which add charm to
Orlandos attractions. Encircling the
lake is a well-cons tructed driveway and
bicycle path, while upon its bank near
the hall are splendid live oak trees, offer
and nicely laid out grounds about the
building. II is an ideal spot Bishop
Gray speaks most hopefully of the pros
pect of the school, and feels assured of a
large attendance from all parts of Flor
ida and from the states lying farther
north.
This project accomplished, he hopes
within a short time to be abe to found a
similar school for boys, either here or at
some nearby point which shall possess
the advantages and attractions to insure
success. This is in the future. But II 10
hoped that it is not distant.
Bishop Gray is no ornamental figure
head. He is a worker, with practical
ideas, and zeal that stops at nothing
short of accomplish ment.

TWO DEAD FROM POISON.
ACCIDENTAL TRAGEDY IN AN IRWIN
COUNTY FAMILY.

Pea Soup, Cooked i'm n New Tin Yes
sci. Believed TO BE Responsible for
the Death of Two Common Children
and the Serious Illness of Mrs.
Connor and Another Child-Physi-
clans Made Every Effort to Save
Those Afflicted.
Triton, Ga. Aug. 5.-Report of a pecu-
uarly terrible tragedy comes from near
TrWinville, in Irwin county, in which four
innocent victims suffer from accidental
,.,soning, two of whom are already dead,
and two more have been at deaths door.
1t seems that Mr.. Lewis Conner, far
mer living near Irwinville, had been in
feeble health for some time, and his at
tending physician would only allow him
TO eat a very light diet. Yesterday he had
his wife to cook some pea soup for him,
and the soup was boiled in a new tin pail.
Mr.. Conner tried to eat some of it, but
did not like its taste, and set the vessel
70 one side: A few minutes later
uAighbor came after Mr.. Conner, to carry
MIN to his home for the night, thinking
n change might do the sick man good.
Mr.. conner went OIL WIN ullli anu tilt
pea soup was forgotten until supper time,
when Mrs. Conner and the children ate
il. but not heartily, as there was only
small quantity.
An hour or so later, the Oldest child,
little boy, was taken violently Ill. and
pbysician was sent for, but although he
lived only a mile distant, the boy died
before DR. Julian could arrive. Seeing the
patient was dead, the doctor returned
home but before he had unhitched his
horse. a messenger arrived post haste,
saving another of the children was very
i'll He arrived before the little sufferer,
another boy, died, but was too late to rem
der any assistance. While he was there,
Mrs Conner and another child were taken
violently i'll, but by hard work their lives
were saved, although at one time 1t look
ed as if the poison would claim four vic
Tins
There is little doubt that the tragedy was
caused from poison in the tin vessel, in
which the peas were cooked, and allowed
TO cool. The affair causes universal re-
gret in the entire community. in which
the family were highly esteemed.

BETTER BUSINESS IN IRON.
Two Alabama Mills VIII Be Started
Up This Week.


Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 5.-The steel mill
of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Railroad
Company at Ensley will be started up this
week The Blooming mill will start up
Wednesday. The capacity Of the steel mill
is 1000 tons day.
The mill was closed down the early part
of July for repairs, and the condition of
the iron and steel market is also supposed
to have had something to do with it. The
local iron market continues very quiet,
with few offers. There is some demand
for export iron and more sales are being
made than for several months past. More
ship room is available and this makes the
placing of larger quantities in Europe pos
sible.
The local iron manufactures have asked
railroads for a reduction of so cents in
freight rates on iron shipments to Allan
tic ports and claim that if such reduction
is granted they will be able to do a big
ger export business.
