omen arms by his friends and parish
toners. He came on train which ar
lived at the union station shortly after
. o'clock, accompanied by the party of
o1ergymen and laymen that had met
him in New York.
When he alighted he was greeted by
q crowd of at least 10000 people. head
ed by Acting Mayor Henry Williams
and Charles Bonaparte. Both these
gentlemen made addresses of welcome,
m which the Cardinal responded feel
;ngly. after which they entered car
riages and were driven to the Cathe-
dral at the head of a procession which
Included all the prominent Catholic So
cieties of the city, priests from the vi
cinitv of Baltimore and Washington,
and many of the non-secular friends
and admirers of His Eminence. The
cardinal dismounted from his carriage
and reviewed the procession from the
steps of the Catholic Club, opposite his
residence, after which he addressed
congregation that ~tilled the venerable
cathedral to the doors.
Mr. Ronaparte'S address was devoted
IN great part TO a discussion of the
mart the church must play in shaping
the future of the new possessions and
the duties devolving upon the national
government because of their accession.
He said in part:
TT is not for US to murmur, still less
TO shirk the appointed task: we can
not lay down at will these grave re-
sponsibilities, however lightly we took
them up, and to vainly seek such
escape were more cowardice and folly;
hut we may WE'LL nay, in reason and
conscience we must welcome any help
which can fit us to fulfill them; and in
this work as in all that concerns man,
there is room-room which none other
can fill-for the church of Christ.
She can remind US; she, indeed, and
not another. of the common fatherhood
of God, of the consequent brotherhood
of all men, which make empty and
trivial differences of race or color, of
wealth or knowledge; which stamp the
lust rights of any man however hum

red, brown or yellow, as no less sacred
than if he were the wisest, the most

of an enlightened people. She can tell
us. and tell us as one speaking with
authority, that if God has given us
power over distant lands and strange
men, we hold it but to serve those We
rule that a government, whatever it's
shape or name, seeking other ends than
the good of the governed is tyranny,
a tyranny all the more odious and
baneful if millions share in its guilt
The cardinal, in replying to the ad-
dresses at the station, merely expressed
his qualification at again being home
and his thanks for the generous well
come accorded him by his friends and
Pensioners.
At the cathedral he confined himself

Hypnotism in the Courts.
Trom the Chicago News.

The use of hypnotism as means of
legal investigation was recently sane
toned by the Client court of appeals in
regard to case known to the Belgians
as the "Borreman trial." which IL was
found impossible to elucidate by means
of ordinary evidence. In the course of
certain celebrations held at Alost, Bel
GUM. I'm June, 1899. NJ. w. Foreman, a
merchant of that town, was seriously
injured, and as a result more than
twenty arrests were made. -Four of the
defendants were fined and one con-
demned to two months Imprisonment,
while about s., 900, damages were award
ed to the plaintiff. An appeal was sub
seduently made on behalf of the de-
PENDANTS, and a new trial has been
in progress for some time past
one OF the principal points put for

SHOT HIS WIFE IN BACK.
Woman Ran Through Streets with
Babe i'm Her Arms.


Macon. Ca, Aug. 26.-Nathaniel
Blackwell, Brunswick negro, came in
here tonight on an excursion and
found the wife who had quit him. He
shot her six times in the back. He
escaped. While he was shooting her,
the woman ran through the streets
carrying little babe in her arms. The
babe was covered with the mothers
blood. The woman may not die.
The story current here last night to
the effect that a negro had probably
been lynched, turned out to be a case
of plain arrest. The negro escaped
from his captors, and the public did
not learn what had become of him un-
til nearly day this morning. There had
been no thought Of lynching, although
the man had been dragged from his
hack and tied.
Twelve of Macon's best horses went
over to Montgomery this afternoon to
race in the Thursday and Friday
events. Bessie Wilkes, recently of Sa-
vannah, but now owned by Marshal
John M. Barnes, will try to beat Ala
bama's pacing record.
No arrest is likely to be made for the
killing of the negro porter by Baggage
Master Merriwether on the Georgia
Southern train near Valdosta yester-
day. Sentiment here justifies the kill
ing for the negro is said to have been
very vicious and overbearing char

From the New York Sun.
Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. 24.-Para-
lyzed and probably dying with brok-
en- neck. Joseph Matthews, Quarter
master of the United States cruiser
Newark, who had just returned from a
three years cruise in the Philippines to
make Miss Eva May Saln his wife, was
married to-day in a ward in the City
Hospital. The marriage was performed
at the solicitation of the bridegroom
who had been informed that he was
about 10 undergo a dangerous opera
ton. which in all probability would
prove fatal. He was unable to move
his arm and ii had to be lifted to en-
able him to reach the hand of his bride.
Matthews was a resident of 25l0 Col
Inns street, Philadelphia, and his wife
lived at 202 South Thirty-second street,
East Camden, n. ]. Before Matthews
went 10 the Philippines the girl who to-
day became his wife promised to marry
him. The wedding was set for two
weeks from to-day. Last Sunday the
young man came to the shore for a
surf bath. He was told there were
seven feet of water under the Board
walk. He Owed from a height of per-
haps eight feet. There was but two
feet of water and when he struck he
lay unconscious. When he regained his
senses he was In the hospital paralyzed
from the chest down. The doctors told
him that he would probably die. He
sent for Miss Saln and when she ar
rived pleaded that she become his wife
before he died. The young woman
| consented.
This afternoon, with her mother,
Mrs. Elizabeth Saln, and her brother,
Francis Saln she returned to this city.
AS the young man is a Catholic ana MS
wife a Protestant it was impossible for
him to be married in the church with
out a dispensation from the BISHOP
But as it will require several days to
obtain this and as the bridegroom
feared he would die in the meantime,
mother and daughter decided to have
the civil marriage performed first jus

with the open book in his hand

An hour after the ceremony the
bridegroom was removed to the operat-
ing room, where DIR. Emery Marvel and
the house physician, j. r. Doughty,
removed the seventh cervical Vertebra,
which was fractured. Few patients
undergoing similar operations, which
are rare, survive. but Matthews, who Is

MCREA DENIES THE DEAL.
Could Interests Have Not Acquired
the Norfolk and Western.

Indianapolis, Aug. 26.-Jaines Nc
Crea, first vice president of the Penn
sylvania lines west of Pittsburg, was
in the city to-day. He was in confer
ence with Volney 7. Mallott, receiver
of the Vandalia. They will make an in
spection of this property tomorrow.
Asked concerning the reported Nor
folk and Western deal, whereby the
Goulds were said to have secured con-
troll of this property from the Pennsyl-
vania, Mr.. McCrea said:
4 see that Mr.. Gould has made de-
NAL of the story and that Mr.. Sage
has also made denial of it. l know
nothing of such a move in Norfolk and
Western. The story was printed once
and has never appeared again. Its
source would indicate to railroad men

Mr. McCrea was further asked con-
corning the report emanating from the
East concerning the prospective APP
pointment of Oscar G. Murray, now
first vice president of the Baltimore
and Ohio, as traffic director of the
Pennsylvania interests, he said
The report has no foundation what

THE JILTING HABIT.
Women Are Becoming More Careful
in Choosing Men.
From the London Express.

From the London Express.
A correspondent complains of the
great prevalence of jilting. He admits
that he has been Tilted by no fewer
than three different young women this
century, and he plaintively asks the
Express to go to his assistance by read
ing a moral lesson TO the filters that
will cause them to mend their ways.
1t is not difficult to realize that the jilt-
ing habit is really growing. Since wo-
man became what she is pleased to
term "emancipated, she takes fewer
chances in selecting a life partner. The
independence of woman carries with ii
an increased radius of action with re-
gard to the treatment of fiances.
In days which, alas! are no more,
the woman who had once plighted her
troth was captured. She was so much
fish in the basket, an actual asset
which could not get away. But in these
revolutionary times a man cannot be
sure of a girl just because she wears
his engagement ring. He has to mind
his p's and as up to the very moment
of walking to the altar. He must not
count upon his fiancee as a chicken
that is Matched. She may roll out OF
the basket and escape him.
man. but it does not at all diminish
the chances which the girl enjoys OF
having a good time. Often she regards
the engagement as a provisional affair
and one that will last only during gooc
behavior. Thereupon the man proceeds
to behave. The chances are, there
fore. that if our correspondent has beer
Tilted three times this year he has vel
deserved his fate. Perhaps ii would
have been justifiable for eight girls to
jilt him, or even nine.
All sorts of troubles ensue when a
swain becomes certain. He often
counts too much upon his beautiful
eyes or his winning ways. Suddenly
something happens. There is a pro-
nounced shock, and before he knows
where he is he finds himself out upon
the pavement a dazed and disengaged
being. Yes, the jilting habit is grow
ing. Women are getting more partic-
ular. A long mustache followed by ten
stone of conceited substance fashioned
in a general way after the contour OF
man is not enough to satisfy them.

BULL VS.. TROLLEY CAR.
A Valiant but Disastrous Charge at
an Offensive Headlight.
From the Minneapolis Journal.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
A bellicose bull, short tempered as
well as short horned, frightened car
load of people almost out of their wits
Saturday night, tied up the Como In
terIrban line for a space of two hours,
and caused much needless profanity
all because he did not like the head
light upon one of Mr.. Lewry's scent
autos.
When the animal first saw the car 1t
was speeding toward Minneapolis, half
way between Lake Como and the State
Fair Grounds. He regarded it curious
ly for a moment and then, as the star
ing headlight approached nearer and
nearer. he tossed his great neck, dashed
his tail in anger and paved the ground
fiercely.
A second later he decided that such
an aflront to his dignity should be per-
nitted to go unpublished, and with his
eyes glaring defiance he lowered his
head and charged straight up the track.
Motorman Bradford saw him, but too
late. and the Infatuated animal dashed
uadly into the front of the car, smash =
ing the offending headlight into thou
sand pieces. He was caught in the
fender. thrown to the tracks and in
stantly killed.
However, the shock threw the car
from the rails and for distance OF 100
feet it ploughed its way through the
Welding sand of the street to an ac-
commitment of women's shrieks and
startled oaths from the male passen-
gers. The car was loaded with peo-
pie returning to Minneapolis after an
outing at Como, and for a short time
several of the women were on the verge
of Mysteries. AS it came to stand
still, however, their fears subsidized.
Later they looked upon the matter in
the light of joke and were rather In
clined TO feel ashamed of their former
terror.
When the train crew alighted to take
an account of the damage the car was
found to be a good three feet Off the
tracks. They could do nothing until a
wrecker arrived, and the first st. Paul
bound car was stopped and then sent
on to Como to telephone for wreck
ing crew.
Even with this assistance, however,
the task proved no easy one, and II
was a good hour and a half after the
arrival of the wrecker before the big
car was again placed on the rails. In
the meantime no fewer than dozen
cars were tied up by the accident ana
traffic was entirely suspended.

From the Electrical Review.


The construction of the now famous
Cairo-Cape telegraph line is keeping
pace with the building of the railway
between Mombasa and Victoria Nyan-
"a. -Four hundred and eighty miles of
this part of the line had been com
pleted last December. and forty-five
stations opened. Between Mombasa
and Nairibi, a distance of 80 miles,
three wires are in use, and from the
latter point only two. Between Rail-
head and Port Florence, the terminal
of the Victoria Nyanza section, tenn
porary line is in use, but from Port
Florence to Eutebbe. the capital of the
Uganda protectorate, the line is com
pleted.
An interesting feature of the con-
struction Of this line is the use of trees
instead of poles. experience having
shown that living trees do not suffer
from the attacks of the white ants
like the poles. Insulators have largely
been done away with by the use OF
tarred hemp cords for fastening the
wires to the trees.

SPEAKERS ENTRANCE VIRGINIA.
Delegate Dunaway Repudiates Sub
mission to Present Electorate.


Richmond, Va, Aug. 26.-The contin-
uation of the debate in the Constitu-
tional Convention on the preamble and
bill of rights drew large audience to-
day.
Delegate Stebbins presented a reso-
luton providing for a record of the
names, capital and character of all
corporations doing business in the
state.
Mr.. Barham of Sussex submitted a
resolution providing that after the
adoption of the constitution no new Of
the Legislature except by vote of not
less than sixty-seven in the House and
twenty-seven in the Senate.
Delegate Dunaway of Lancaster was
the first speaker when the convention
resumed consideration of the report on
the preamble and bill rights. He re-
pudiated the idea that the Norfolk
convention had a right to pledge sub
mission of the work to the present
electorate. He regretted that the mat
ter of submitting the constitution to
he people had not been deferred unil
the constitution had been framed.
The constitution, he thought, should
be framed, the convention take the re-
cess for thirty days, go home, let the
delegates feel the pulse of the people
and then come back and determine
whether the constitution should be
submitted or proclaimed.
Delegate Carter, of Hanover, followed
Mr.. Dunaway. He opposed the long
recital of events in the preamble, point
ing to the fact that the new constitu-
ton of New York had a preamble OF
less than half dozen lines. He argued
that the convention was competent to
determine whether the work of the
body should be reviewed by the people
or part of the people, or should be pro-
claimed
