 cept Weaver, who jumped off uninjured.
 The third section with Engineer Frank Patterson at the throttle had attained high speed and when it struck the rear caboose the engine reared in the air, turned clear around and came down on her side In the ditch smashing a number of cars into kindling wood and burying in the debris the sleeping trainmen and Hutchison, the fireman for Patterson.

WILL SOON TAKE
 UP DIVORCE LAWS
EPISCOPAL CONVENTION WILL DISCUSS COMMITTEES REPORT TO CANON PRACTICALLY PRO- MEETING MARRIAGE.

San Francisco, October 6.-The house of Monday, take up the remaining amend ments to the constitution, and as soon as this matter is disposed of the bishops will take up the report of the committee on marriages and divorce. The committee has reported by vote of Il to 1 in favor of amending the canon of the solemniza- ton of matrimony by adding the follow ing section:
 No minister shall solemnize marriage between any two persons unless, nor un- til by inquiry, he shall have satisfied him. self that neither person has been or is the husband or wife of any other person liv ing unless the former marriage was an nulled by degree of some civil court of competent jurisdiction for cause existing before such former marriage"
 The committee, in offering this amend ment. does not discuss the question of the re-marriage of divorced persons nor defer to the belief held by many persons in the church that an innocent party in a divorce obtained because of adultery is entitled to marry again. The minority report which is signed by Frank H. Mill Ter, suggests that the following provision be added to the proposed amendment:
 This shall not apply to any one pro- ducing certified copy of decree of divorce on the ground of adultery in which he or she Is found to be the inno- cent party by a court of competFlt 1,Jis- diction."
 This report Is one of the principal bones of contention in the present general con ference. The majority report of the com mittee signed by Dr. Morgan Dix, as chairman, goes on to say that in It's judgm ent no successful action cah be had in amending the constitution of the United States so as to make uniform the

Government Cannot Pay Any Part of the Ransom De-

MISSION BOARD POWERLESS

 Appesl.
MONEY COMING FAST.

Boston, Mass, October 6.--Just how much money has been given to the fund for the ransom of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American Board missionary held captive by brigands, is not known tonight. Those directing the effort in her behalf hope that the response throughout the country will be lib eral, and that the figure is fully $100,000 If not the necessary amount, which is s10,000 more.
 In Boston and vicinity the amount in hand from a compara- lively small number of sources reaches nearly s90.000, and there are a host of churches to hear from. Tomorrow's mail Is expect ed to bring in many thousands of dollars additional making 1t possi- ble for Boston alone to raise over one-third of the total amount. The belief is general here that the coun- try at large will care for two thirds of the ransom money, so that it will be ready by Tuesday noon.

 Called for Conference.
BY WAT. ERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, October 6.-(Special) Ut is stated tonight on the best of authority that President Roosevelt's present intention is to appoint Ex- Governor Thomas G. Jones of Mont gomery to the federal judgeship made vacant by the death of Judge John Bruce.
 While protests are being made against his appointment by the regu- lar Republican organization, the indi- cations are that they will avail little. In fact, the statement was made to- night by a gentleman who has recent ly talked with the President on the subject that Governor Jones' appoint ment has been all but announced, the delay being simply out of respect to the late judge of the district.
 Judge W. L. Chambers is said to be no longer a factor in the race. If Jones appointment is made, as now seems likely, it will be hard blow to the regular Republican organization of Alabama, as we'll as of other South ern States.
 It practically serves notice upon them that the new President has washed his hands of Southern Repub- licanism, and refuses to buy the votes of national convention delegates with government patronage. Naturally there is a good deal of indignation ill Southern Republican circles over the suggestion that there are no Re- publicans in the South competent to hold the higher class of federal offices.
 One reason Republicans give for protesting against this appointment is the fact of Colonel Jones' connection vention, and it's adoption of a clause which is regarded as practically dis IrancnlSlng the negroes.
 It remains to be seen what effect these protests will have on the Presi- dents action, but it is believed if he finds no objections that are tangible raised to the ex-governor's character and ability, he will not be moved by the protests. He appreciates that his course in the matter of the Southern offices may bring on fight, but he is understood to feel that if his policy of appointing only good men is to be at tackled the warfare might as well be- gin at once.
 It is rumored that Senator Morgan has been summoned to Washington for consultation with the President in the matter of this proposed appoint ment.

Boston, October 6.-The urgency of the for ransom by brigands in Bulgaria, brought together the members of the prudential committee of the American board for two hours today. Later the committee issued statement based upon the views of President Samuel B. Capen of the board, and the secretary the Rev. Dr. Judson Smith, as the result of their visit to Washington yesterday.
 Both gentlemen had interviews with the state department. It was made plain to them, they told the prudential con- mittee, that the only certain way to se- cure the release of Miss Stone and save her life would be the payment of the ransom.
 The committee was informed that the government by reason of constitutional restriction is unable to pay the ransom. The committee was also made aware of the fact that the American board has no money with which to save Miss st The only practical way, therefore, was shown to be popular subscription which already has been started.
 The committee heartily approved this and began sending telegrams to many parts of the country urging subscriptions. The committee says in view of the spirit with which the appeal is made there is strong grounds for the hope that the amount will be obtained speedily. In every possible way the American board will cooperate by gift and solicitation.
 President Capen says that the govern ment at Washington, both the President and state department, are doing all in their power to procure the release of Miss Stone.

Experts Say That Constantly Increasing Travel Has
 Weakened Structure
INSPECTION SYSTEM FAULTY
Breaking Of Rod Some Time Ago Was Caused by the Wind-Neces- sty for Improvement at
 Once is Urgent.

New York. October 6.-District Attorney Philbin today made public the report of Edwin Duryea and Joseph Mayer, the special engineering experts appointed by him to look into the condition of the Brooklyn bridge after the breaking of several suspender rods and suspender bands, July 24 last.
 These experts were apointed to make this report with a view to presenting the matter to the grand jury if it should be found that the bridge department has been negligent The report of the ex- perts was first submitted to MT. Philbin, September IA. It was full of technicalities such as the general public could not read fly understand and stories appeared in public print that the bridge was unsafe. MT. Philbin thereupon submitted 1t to w. B. Parsons, chief engineer of the Rapid Transit Commission, who stated after reading it that the bridge was per- fectly safe.
 Inspection Is Faulty.
 The experts find that the inspection of the structure as maintained by the bridge department is faulty but that the bridge Is now practically as strong as when completed. One trouble Is that the nov ing loads which cross the bridge have increased so rapidly that the structure must be strengthened The accident of the breaking of the suspender rods and bands which was discovered July "A, though some of those rods have been broken previously, Is found to have been due to the wind pressure, the wind blow ing against the platform and cars caus- ing pressure transverse to the bridge, thus causing the rods to bend.
 The experts maintain that the inspec- ton of the bridge should be done by en- gineers and not by mechanics as at pres ent.
 No Evidence of EIectrolysis.
 Referring to stories which have ap- peared in print that electrolysis has weakened the bridge, the experts declare that they found no evidence of this con- dition. They also say there is no useless dead load in the form of mail tubes, tele- graph and telephone cables, etc.. on the bridge.
 They ma that the SaIety or the Drldge can be increased by remedying certain defects in the design. They hasten to say, however, that they do not criticize the designer, and call attention to the fact that since this structure was designed great advancement has been made in such work, and if such bridge were now built, the designer would have the benefit of experience since the Brooklyn bridge was erected. They say that the needed improvements could be made with com paratively moderate cost and also de- clare that the present margin of safety is so small that the necessity for repairs Is very urgent.
