Railroad trains frequently catch on
fire while under way, but Engineer
Westfall had a novel experience yes
terday morning with his east bound
freight that has probably not beer
duplicated in the experience of other
railroad men. Just after pulling out
of FIT KeoSh he discovered that box
car in he middle of train was in
flames. Knowing that Il blast of the
whistle at Kcogh could easily be heard
at Miles City, he sounded the alarm
between the two St,tions. The eug in
Ger at the water works and one on the
switch engine heard the whistle and
Joined in the chorus. This brought
the fire boys out in short order and
by the time the train arrived at the
depot the tiremen had their hose laid
and stream of water in action. AL
though the car was a mass of flames
the boys did their work within a very
few minutes. The car was loaded
with ties and as the running gear or
platform were not injured, the train
proceeded on its way without cutting
it out.

Next week will witness the close of
the school year in Forsyth. This be-
ing the trst year of the High School
there are no graduates, and as Prof
Beeman is anxious that the students
should have the ADVANTAGE of all the
time available, there viii be no clos.
ing exercises and regular school work
VIII continue up to the tap of the bell
announcing the close of school. The
work OF the year has fallen IA little
short OF the standard desired by the
principal owing to the loss of a month

the small pox quarantine, bui the pat
rons of the school are very well salts
Eea with the record and anticipate
still better work next year. 1t is ex-
pected that one or more teachers will
be added to the faculty and some new
equipment provided which will put
the Forsyth school in the front rank of
educational institutions. Prof. Bee

his work here and will take a course

Pulaski, October 90. Yesterday was
the most memorable day that the Ten.
nessee conference has had for years.
The Cherry case and other important
affairs kept the interest and excl itement
at white heat.
During the morning session J. G..
Harper, I. A. Gilbert, f. G. Dickson,
I. F. Kellum, J. A. Chenault, Robert
Wait, Allen Miller H. w. Carter, w.
I. Garden and Lawrence Hosale were
admitted into the conference on trial.
In the afternoon, the committee on
Books and Periodicals presented their
report to conference. This report pro
yoked long and spirited discussion
The chief speech was by DR.. ]. d.
Barbee who took issue with that por-
tion of the report treating of the Pub
l1shing House, and his remarks were
strong and pointed This speech, which
was in the nature of vindication of
his course during his whole life, was
the first public utterance DR.. Barbee
has made in recent years before his
own conference.
The report, above spoken of, was
adopted az it was read. The report
also contained strong criticism of
the Midland Methodist, the organ of
the conference, though it recommended
its continuance and the appointment
OF the same editors.
A resolution was made requesting
Drs. d. G. Kelley and J d. Barbee,
who are now entering their fiftieth
year as members of the conference, to
preach at the next session Of the con-
ference each semi centennial sermon

the interviews were brief. and the in.
terviewers did most of the talking
until the question of religion was
mentioned, when Czolgosz broke from
his seeming lethargy and violently de.
nounced the church and clergy, and
made his relatives promise that there
should be no service for him, livine
or dead
At 8 o'clock the brother and brother
in-law arrived, and Supt. Collins took
them down to the condemned mans
cell. There was no demonstration
when they met. Czolgosz merely
stepped to the front of his steel cage
and said:
"Hellop'
The brother ventured the remark
Il wish you would tell u.s. Leon, who
got you into this scrape2"
The assassin answered in slow,
hesitating manner:
No one. Nobody had anything tc
do with it but me. /"
That is not how you We're brought
up, " said the brother, land YOU
ought to tell us everything now.'
Il haven't got anything to tell, - he
answered in a surley IN amer.
DO you want to see the priests
again?' asked his brother, and he an
swered with more vehemence than he
had previously shown: mo, damn
them don't send them here again; |
don t want them. "
The brotherin-law interjected here
That's right, Leon. ~
The brother looked rather disturbed
by the answer. Then stepping up
close to the bars the condemned man
said
And don't have any praying over
me when I'm dead. l don't want it.
! don t want any of their damned re-
igion."
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1901-11-01
THE EXECUTION,

A few minutes past seven o'clock,
CZolgosz was taken from the steel cage
In which he has been incarcerated,
to the death chamber.
He went to the chair without show
ing any particular signs of fear, and
while being strapped he said: Il
killed the President because he was an
enemy of the good people-the good
working people. | am not sorry fol
my crime. "
At exactly twelve and halt min
utes after seven, the electric current
was turned on. Seventeen hundred
volts were sent through his body, his
frame was seen to quiver, and then all
was over. The physicians in attend.
ance examined his heart and pulse,
and pronounced life extinct.
He was dead within four minutes
after leaving his cell.
The execution was carried out as
quietly as possible, and not the slight
est relic of the assissin body or his
clothing will be permitted to leave
the prison walls.
Czolgosz suffered slight nervous at.
tack late yesterday, but remained sui.
len and stoical up to the time the
prison closed at 10 o'clock He re.
fused to heed the words of the priests
who came to urge spiritual preparation
for death, and declined to either re-
embrace Roman Catholicism or re-
nounce anarchy.
Czolgosz showed no strength of love
for kin, nor did he turn to any OF
those higher considerations which ordi-
narily claim the thoughts of men occu.
pylng his position. He may have
suffered untold torture, but, outward
ly, he seemed sullen and Indifferent
The State is not to surrender posses
sioh of his body, and by sundown it
will have been secretly inferred in
ground controlled by the officials of
Auburn prison.
Waldeck Czolgosz, brother of the
murderers foreseeing endless difficult
ties and possibly angry demonstrations
as the result of an attempt to give the
body ordinary burial, needed the ad-
vice of Superintendent of State Prisons
Collins and Warden Media, and formally
relinquished all claim to it. He
merely stipulated that at the close of the
autopsy all parts of the body should be
buried. All chance of an unhappy
and unfortunate sequel of the execu-
tion, either in displays of popular
contempt or the exhibition of ghastly
relics, is therefore finally prevented.
CLOTHES BURNED.
The plan of burning his clothing
and papers was carried out immedi-
ately after the execution.
Czolgosz held his last two interviews
last night, the first with Superin-
tendent Collins and the second with
his brother and brother Flaw. Both

Conference to create the office of Dea-
coness.
THE CHERRY CASE.
In the case of Rev. b. A. Cherrye
the investigating committee whose
finding was final so far as this Confer
ence is cOn"erned-reported that they
had expelled the brother from member
ship in this Conferences they further
stated, however that there was some
proof before them that Mr. Cherry's
mind was unbalanced, and that in case
it developed hereafter to their salts
faction that his mental trouble dated
back far enough, and was sufficient to
excuse his condition, chat they would
reopen the case in his behalf.
THE PUBLISHING HOUSE
MATTER
was disposed of without argument or n
dissenting vote The resolution reaffirms
the action taken at Clarksville three
years ago, which action repudated the
means used for securing the appropri-
alton from the Federal Government
and favored the unconditional return
of the money. And this Conference
memorializes the Gepelal Conference
to that effect.
The delegation elected to the Gen
eral Conference are unitpin favor of
this action, and will also vote for new
men to succeed Messrs. Barbee and
Smith as agents. The friends of Bar
bee and Smith did not vote or make
any protest, seeing too plainly the
hopelessness of their cause.
THE DEACONESSES.
A resolution memorializing the
General Conference to create the Office
or order of Deaconesses brought forth
the most spirited and entertaining
debate of the Conference 1t was
finally passed, after Dr. D. C. Kelley
had moved an amendment making the
deaconesses subject to the appointment
OF the Bishop and under the control of
their conferences, just as the preachers

Pulaski, Oct 25.-The Tennessee
conference in session in Pulaski, moves
along harmoniously under the gentle
guidance of Bishop Fitzgerald, aided
by the brotherly love of that large
body of preachers.
The only unpleasantness, so far, il
the expected sensation over the charges
against the character of B. A. Cherry
OF the Lebanon station, which were
brought up yesterday. The COM
mittee to try the case is as follows
W. F. Tillett, chairman G. G. Kelly,
d. b. Coleman, B. H. Johsnon, B. F.
Afford, j. W. Hammer, and J. K. Lee.
W. d. johnson was made secretary,
and he and the chairman have no vote
By motion, the Conference decided
to hold an afternoon session to day for
the purpose of electing delegates to
the General Confidence. This election
is not creating the interest it usually
does on such occasions.
Addresses were made, during the
session yesterday, by a few old
preachers and some of the correctional
officers
DR.. P. H. Wisener, of Louisville
presented the claims of the Board of
Church Extension, of which he is
Secretary.
DR.. J. D. Hammond, of Nashville,
Secretary of the Board of Education,
addressed the pody ON the education
OF the negro and on the twentieth cen
tury fund. He insisted upon the con-
ference pledging certain amount to
meet the demands of Samuel Cupples,
contingent upon his giving $50, 600 to
the biblical department of Vanderbilt
University.
DR.. E. E. Hoss, of the Nashville
Christian Advocate, represented his
paper and made one Of the happiest
speeches of his life.
A touching scene enacted at the con
ference, was when the name of Rev.
T. b. Marks-the oldest living super
annuate of the conference-was called.
When he responded to the call the
preachers had regular halleluiah feast.
The Nashville Methodist preachers
presented memorial asking the Con-
ferencetO memorialize the next General
Conference to so amend the law as to
provide for the election of a connec-
tlonal board of stewards in each pas
tOral charge, whose business is to look
after all collections except the pastor s
salary, and who shall be members of
the quarterly conference.
Another memorial was presented
asking the General Conference to CON
slider the idea of bringing about a
union of the colored Methodist
churches in this country.
The preachers of the Lebanon and
Nashville districts had their characters
passed.

Pulaski, Oct. 26.-Yesterday, the
third days session of the Tennessee
Conference was taken up nearly alto
gether with routine work. The only
interest manifested during the dav
was during the election of delegates Ia
the General Conference The result
of this election was not announced.
Mrs. Z. A. Sowell, President of the
Tennessee Conference SisterhoOd. made
talk in regard to the work being
done by that body. During the morn
ing there arose a discussion of a point
of law over the surrendering of the
credentials of }. |. j. Adams. a local
preacher of the Dickson district. whose
character was under suspicion. Adams
had surrendered his credentials and
Joined another church. The Bisbop
ruled that his credentials could not
be surrendered while l. character was
under suspicion. The tender of the
