bly,.
DES MONIES. Ia. May 25.-The
United Presbyterian General Assembly
devoted two hours to-day to discussing
whether the creed shall be changed to
admit members of secret societies to the
church. AS a result, two amendments
to the revision report were offered and
are now with the committee on judici-
airy. The first. offered by DR.. A. G..
Wallace, of Allegheny presbytery. is a
compromise which declares strongly
against secret orders, but leaves discre-
tionary powers with the various ses-
sions. An amendment to this, offered
by Dr. j. NJ Wallace, of Pittsburg. de-
clares strongly against all organizations
who are anti-Christ. The judiciary
committee will report on the two
amendments Monday, at which time it
is believed the question will be finally
settled.
The committee on bills and overtures
made a partial report, recommending.
first. that the overture to repeal that
part of Sec 4. Chap. IA of the confess
sion of faith, which reads
"fhe man may not marry any OF his
wife's kindred nearer in blood than he
may of his own, nor the woman of her
husbands kindred nearer in blood than
her own" has received a clear. consti-
tutional majority of the voters of the
church, and therefore carried.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 25.-L. F.
Loree, fourth vice president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, has been
selected to be president of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad. The selection having
will be promulgated next Wednesday
and the change will become effective
June l.
This information was obtained in this
city this afternoon, and is the an
nouncement of one of the most porten-
tious recent changes in railroad affairs
not excluding the transfer of Mr.. Under
wood from the Baltimore & Ohio to the
Erie.
This choice signifies the complete
domination of Baltimore & Ohio affairs
by the Pennsylvania railroad.
What other changes, either in the
Pennsylvania ranks or the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad itself his election will en-
tail would be at this time merely con-
jectural.
The implication naturally is that John
K. Cowen, now the president of the
Baltimore & Ohio, is to retire to some
other position, most likely that of the
chairman of the board, which it is un-
derstood will be made vacant by the
resignation soon of Mr.. Solomon, who is
now in Europe for his health.
Other than this but little has been
said. The Pennsylvania lines may ad-
just their affairs without Milling the va
cancy caused by Mr. Loree' leaving. The
Office of fourth vice president was ere
ated when Mr. Loree was appointed to
it and it may be that il will again be
allowed to lapse.

peculiar escape from being murdered
was experienced if not enjoyed by an
employee of the Ritter Lumber Company
at their works on Big Buffalo, in Clay
county, last night. There were several
men working there who came from the
Kentucky bad lands, and it seems that
two of them had been nursing an old
grudge, one against the other. They
wasn't long before the old trouble broke
out anew. When it reached an acute
stage two other members of the party
held one of the disputants while the
other proceeded to pump lead into him

ed design. 10 make good and sure of
getting his man the shooter stood close
behind him and shot at the back of his
head. After being struck three times
in the back of the head the man who
was enacting the role of target was
supposed to be dead Those who held
him let go and he fell to the ground,
while the balance of the crowd vamosed
the ranch and have not yet been over
taken. Now the strange part of the
story is that every one OF the three bull
lets which struck the man in the back
Of the head veered around and gnded
between the skin and the skull to the
front part of the head and there came
out, leaving breaks of the skin, fore and
aft, just like they had gone directly

struck no further damage than to shake
