SOUTHERN GlEANINGS
BaptixcL ana Then Drowned.

Within less than three minutes af'
Ter having received the sacrament of
baptism and the benediction OF his
pastor, James Phillips was drowned.
Vt Memphis, Tenn, in the waters in
which he had been baptized in the
presence of helpless and Mortified
brethren of his congregation and 9TH
er spectators. The tragic incident oc-
Cured at the foot of Beale street.
Phillips had only few nights ago
been received into the congregation of
Avery chapel and asked to be bap-
tized Phillips was led out into the wa
ter by his pastor, and after the final
benediction had gone aboard the
steamer Wichita to put on dry clothes.
He had scarcely stepped aboard the
steamer when he was overcome with
religious fervor and fell backward
over the side of the boat. He came up
several times as he was swept down
ward by the rapid current, and at the
same time he extended his hands aloft
as though in prayer. Before assist
ance could be rendered the body went
down the last time and was carried be-
meath tow of coal barges.

AHMED PASHA GOING HOME.
The Turkish Vice Admiral Going
Back to COnstnntinOpIc 10 Re-
port to the sultan.

Washington, June 7.-Ahmed Pasha,
the Turkish vice-admiral, who was
sent TO this country to investigate our
building facilities, with view to
placing an order for a new Turkish
battleship in the United States, proba-
bly, will return to Constantinople in a
short while. The admiral has resolved
to lay the plans and specifications he
has obtained from our ship builders
before the sultan in person, deeming
this course wiser, and assuredly moro
rapid than transmitting the reports
of his Investigations to his govern
ment through the mails. Ahmed
Pasha, upon being advised as to the
sultan's wishes In the matter, which in
all probability, will acquiesce with his
own, will sail for home, taking with
him all the data collected in this coun-
try. He will again visit the Philadel.
phia yards after he leaves Washing
ton en- route to New York to sail for
home, and also contemplates visiting
Pittsburgh iron manufactures before
returning to Turkey.

Of the Navigation NnroRu.

Washington, Juno 7.--,Judgc Advo-
,atc.Gcncral Lemly has decided nd
'crscly the contention of the noyign-
don bureau that, In making retire
ncnts of officers under the terms Of
the personnel act, the officers should
BE- retired IN accordance with their
rank, no licutcnunts, for instance, be-
ng retired until NIL OF the eligible cap
lnins had been retired The Judge qdvo-
entc general holds that the intent OF
he net was TO prevent wholesale re-
trcn ents In one grade which might
be disastrous TO the service, wherefore
the law specified the number of Off
GERS which should be retired In each
grade. The decision Is practically a
reut,rn,ation OF one Professionally
adopted at the outset Of the npplica-
ton Of the personnel act.

peal From Al Number oi 81.
Louis Leading Citizens.

st. Louis, June L. Gov. Stephens re-
used to grant the request fer the
calling out of the militia. In answer,
he sent to the committee the following
dispatch:
Your telegram, calling lGy atten-
ton to the condition of riotous law
lessness in st. Louis, and rcque esting
me to order cut the militia to help re-
store order and protect life and prop
erty, is just at hand
1T occurs to me to say that If your
sheriff will summon posse of $500
men promptly, without further delay,
as he has been directed to DO, TO CO.
operate with the police department,
and your mayor will also heartily CO.
operate with the police department.
and attend meetings of the board, and
can be prevailed upon to do his full
duty, this trouble will soon be ended,
and normal conditions will be re-
stored.
81 will not hesitate to order out the
militia when convinced, after an hon
est effort on the part of the authori-
ties and your good people has been
made, that you are unable to cope
with the trouble"
Inasmuch as the police force has
been organized by the governor on q
strictly partisan basis, and is directed
without the slightest regard to the
mayor, the municipal assembly or the
voters of this city, the governors re-
ply is looked upon es decidedly eva
