CAIRO, ". Va, April f9.-Andrew
Johnson, a married man about 40 years
of age, who has charge Of the Clark
Oil Co.'S property here, shot him
self just over the heart at $50 this
morning and will probably die. He
arose early and was dressing for break
fast when persons down stairs heard
the shot and going to his room found
him lying on the floor with a bullet
hole directly above the heart. The
ball went through the body and lodg-
ed just under the skin at his back. The
wound is considered almost necessar-
lily fatal.
Earl S~nodgrass, the first person on
the scene, asked Johnson who had
shot him. He replied: Il did it. 1
just wanted to raise a little hell" He
refuses to say anything more.
His first wife secured a divorce from
him on the ground of cruelty. He is
said to have had a quarrel with his
wife last night and to have struck
her. 1t is supposed this difficulty led
to the attempt on his life.

PRESIDENT PATTON'S VIEWS.
What the Eminent Head of Prince
ton University Thinks About the
Confession of Faith.

PRINCETON, N. j., April 19.-Presi-
dent Hatton gave out for publication
the following statement tonight, Civ
ing his definite views on the revision of
the Westminster confession of faith:
IF the Presbyterian Church ceases
to be a Calvinistic church it will not
need the Calvinistic creed. If the Pres
byterian church is a C"alvinistic church,
as I believe it to be, then there is no
need of revising the confession of faith.
The creed needs no revision. No
church member is required to subscribe
to the creed at all. No minister is re-
CURED to sign the creed in ipsissimis
verbs. The confession of faith is a
very good exposition of the C~alvinistic
system of belief. Agitation on this
subject is entirely unnecessary in my
Judgment

ST. MARY'S, w. Va, April 19.-On
the application of George Kelsall and
others, Judge Tavenner has granted an
injunction to prevent the carrying out
of a contract between the city and
John B. Duffy for the construction of
a water works system and a system
of sewerage. Some time ago the city
voted $1,000 in bonds for water works.
Afterwards the Council decided that
sewerage was necessary and entered
into a contract with Duffy to construct
water works and pay him $35 a year
for each fire plug. The contract also
provided for the construction of the
sewerage system. The injunction is
asked or the ground that there is no
money available for the contemplated
sewerage and that to divert the water
works bonds to use in constructing a
sewerage system would be illegal.

MONTGOMERY. Ala, April ia
row among delegates to the Republi-
can State Convention occurred before
the body had been called to order. A
scene Of excitement, accompanied by
som cheering, occurred, in which one
man was seriously hurt The Gov
ernor cleared both factions out of the
State House building and grounds.
The convention was scheduled to
meet at IL o'clock but q rule for the
admission Of only uncontested dele
gates caused confusion and delay.
CASTOR Scott, a Waugh man, of Mont
gomery, was at the rear door guard
ing it when Moragne, who had been
appointed sergeant-at-arms by a ma
jority of the Executive Committee,
demanded admittance and was refused.
A quarrel followed and Moragne shot
Scott in the hand and breast. Scott
made no effort to shoot. This start
ed a great uproar. Moragne was taken
to the Governors Office where he was
when Taylor Scott, a brother of the
wounded man, ran to the outside door
of the Governors office and fired two
shots down the hall, but hit no one.
He was stopped and quieted by by
ISLANDERS. After the State House had
been cleared the Bingham faction went
to Dorset Hall and the Vaughn side
to the auditorium where at 2 o'clock
the two conventions were In session.
The anti-Vaughan or Bingham fac
ton, organized with M. D. Wicker

OF speeches were made, all praisiug the

THE TURKISH MINISTER
Calls Upon Secretary Hay and Learn
That Uncle Sam Means 1t All.

That INCL Sam Means 1t All.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 49,
Among the callers upon Acting Sec
rotary Hill to-day was Ali Ferrouh
Bey, the Turkish minister to Washing
ton. Although this was diplomatic
day and the minister has been a rath-
er frequent visitor to the department
on such days, it was pretty well under
stood that the occasion for this partic-
ular call was the publication of the
intention of the United States govern
men to bring to an immediate issue
the negotiations with Turkey relative
to the payment Of the American mis-
sionary and other claims. 1t is under
stood that the purpose of the minister
was primarily to gather information
on the subject, of which he was igno
rant owing to the fact that the nego-
tiations have been conducted exclu-
sively in ConstantinopIe.
Following the invariable rule Of
diplomatic intercourse, neither of the
principals was at liberty to disclose
the details of the interview. 1t is I'M
derstood, however, that while aware
that there has been nothing so far in
the nature of an ultimatum, the min
lister was impressed with the fact that
the situation is actually one of great
gravity and it is presumed he will so
inform his government. He expresses
himself as confident that the present
crisis will be safely passed, without
permanent disturbance Of the tradi-
tional good relations between the Uni
ted States and Turkey.

RUMOPS I~NNUMERABLE
Concerning John w. Gates and Steel
and Wire Affairs, Cannot BE Traced

AS ICN

NEW YORK, April 19.-The Herald
tomorrow will say:
Wall street is full of rumors to the
effect that John w. Gates is to be de-
posed as the executive head Of the
American Steel & Wire Company.
These stories which have been in circu-
lation for some time assumed tangible
form yesterday when it was said that
a syndicate, headed by Andrew Car
negie, Henry c. Prick and the Seligman
interests and the Moore brothers, has
obtained control of the company and
will put Mr.. Prick in Mr.. Gates place.
Although this story met many denials
and absolutely no confirmation. it re-
ceived much respectful consideration
and had more or less to do with the
strength which steel and wire and other
steel stocks showed during the greater
part of the day.
Nothing car be learned of the plans
Vi IAo dHIi-bdtSo HONeLleHL anu IL
Is impossible to get and confirmation,
or even foundation for the story that
he is to lose control OF the company.
President John Lambert is expected
in Wall street to-day and 1t is said
that during the next -four and twenty
hours there will be important con-
ferences from which Mr.. Gates will be
excluded although he will be the topic
discussed.

particularly in view of the sultan's
recalcitrancy in connection with the
increase of the custom duties. The
fourth collective note of the embassies
Directing to an increase of three per
cent in the duties, on account of the
bad condition of the Turkish finances,
without a previous understanding
with the powers, was handed to the
Turkish government yesterday, but
Turkey maintains such a firm attitude
that the suspicion is growing that
some covert intrigue is frustrating the
effect of the notes.
The st. James Gazette says:
1T will be interesting to watch the
game of representation to which Eu-
rope is accustomed, being played with
the United States. America has enter
ed the European arena and apparently
has no intention of standing any hum
bug form the Turks. Why should
she? The eastern question has no
terrors for a power with a whole ocean
between herself and the Balkans. The
president thinks the sultan has had
grace enough. But if America sets
foot in Asia Minor, perhaps she will
find that neither Russia nor Germany
will be uninterested spectators. From
ourselves she will get nothing but
sympathy and good will"
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
abdul and the steam roller are quite
used to lodging around each other
without damage to anybody, but the
brusque hurry of the American gov
eminent must be rather disconcerting.
These Americans so far from playing
a game, are positively talking of seiz-

What may prove 10 be- a fatal acci-

minutes after ten O'Clock at a point
where the east track of the Wheeling

who either fell in front of the car or
was lying on the track. The victim
proved to be John Davis. of Roney's
Point. a Waterman at the B. & o. tun-
mel, who boards at Reilly's in Mt.
de Chantal. Davis was ii all probable
ity on his way home when the acci-
dent occurred.
The Information that could be
cleaned concerning the direct cause of
the accident is very soant. There were
no eyewitnesses to the affair. Officials
of the road were seen last night shortly
before midnight, but they refused to
even give the names of the crew or
the number of the car, stating as a
reason that they did no know who the
men were or what the car number was.
People living in the vicinity OF the
point where the accident occurred say
operators run their cars too fast along
that stretch of track. The only wonder
an accident has not occurred there be-
fore. The maximum speed allowed
within the city limits is four miles an
hour.
There was also al unnecessary de-
lay in securing the city ambulance to
convey the man to the hospital. II
finally became necessary for a bystand-
er to walk clear to police headquarters
before the ambulance could be secured.

injured man arrived there and a great
deal OF blood was lost. Another delay
occurred in securing a surgeon. DR..
Reed was finally secured and took
charge of the case. -
Davis was seriously injured. ~ left
leg was cut off below the knee. Half
of his left hand, including two fingers.
was mashed off. He also sustained a
dangerous cash In the forehead over the
left eye. His condition ia rendered
even more serious by the loss OF UNI
necessary blood occasioned by the de-
lay in procuring the ambulance. DR..
Reed stated last night that his condI-
ton was critical with chances against
recovery.
1t was reported last night that Davis
had been drinking heavily when he
strated for home, but this could not
be s~ubstantiated.

CUMBERLAND, Md, April 49,
Three weeks ago a mad dog al amuek
at Corrigansville, a little mountain
village three miles distant. and bit a
horse belonging to a farmer named
John Williams.
A short time later the animal be-
came afflicted with the rabies, and
grew rapidly worse, until it commenced
to tear pieces OF flesh from different
parts of it's body and Williams decid-
ed to shoot it.
While in the act, the animal bit him
on the right arm, inficting a slight
wound.
A few days ago Williams showed
signs of hydrophobia, and a physician
was sent for, but was unable to re-
lieve the sufferer.
He became raving mad and he is
kept chained to the floor to prevent
him from killing or biting some Of the
family.
Once every seven hours he becomes
raving mad, and foams at the mouth
like a wild beast.
In his rational moments he begs the
people who call to kill him and end
his misery.
Williams is highly respected and has
a wife and eight children.
His terrible affection is creating
great excitement and hundreds of peo-
pie are attracted to his home.
