 New York. Jan 29.-A motion of Dr Charles l.. Coulter to restrain the su- preme court of the Independent Order of Foresters from different acts in the present management of the order was denied yesterday by Justice Blanch- ard ill the supreme court.

THE COLOR LINE.

Richmond Club Afraid That Color Line
 Is Not Strong Enough.
 Richmond, Va, Jan 29.-The wom. ans club here had I lively discussion this afternoon over the question of joining the National Federation of Woman'S Clubs, and q strong objec- ton was brought against membership on the ground that the club in Chica- go. which is i member of the general organization, had admitted q negro woman into it's membership. The Richmond club is made largely of the most exclusive women in the state, many old Virginia families being rep resented.
 Mrs Rebecca D. Lowe of Atlanta, president of the National Federation of Woman's clubs. addressed the Rich mond club, giving Information about tbe purposes of the organization. One of the women called attention to the fact, that the proposition to admit negro member in Chicago had been fayorably looked upon. Mrs Lowe replied that this was only one club and meant nothing.
 There was likely to be no negro club in the federation. as negro women had fiourishing federation of their own. One of the women named the social and educational advantages de rived from the woman's club here. It could get anything it wanted from the city council, and the very idea or sug- gestion that q colored woman might apply for admittance was too utterly thstasteful to be tolerated for q mo- ment.
 Mrs Lowe declared that she was frequently asked why the southern women did not join the federation. and upon being pressed for q reason said 1t was just as she had found it here-the southerners are so perfectly satisfied with the conditions that exist. She further declared that wherever clubs existed the leading men are the wom- en's best friends when they find out that women have no desire to be men.
 After ten years of club life," said Mrs Lowe in closing, II find l am closer to the feminine side than ever and like men better.'

BURIED IN SNOW DRIFT.
Passengers Rescued After Several Hours Hard Work by Relief Gang.

Frederick, Md, Jan 29.-The PhilA- delphia train which left here at 8 o'clock yesterday over the Pennsylvan- ia road. encountered q snow drift at Sharrett's Cut, twenty miles north, where it became completely snow bound and remained so until 2 o'clock last night, when the four coaches with their passengers were eXtricated from their perilous positions.
 As the train left Bruceville a furi. ous wind was prevailing and before proceeding far the wind became of cy- clonic force, hurling sheets of binding. snow through the air. The engineer attempted to blow his way through the drift, but before he got far he found he was completely choked up and the rear was rapidly filling up with the drifting snow.
 Within half an hour the snow was more than seven feet high and the passengers were alarmed greatly by their perilous positions. They could see nothing but huge sheets of snow, sweeping down from the mountains encircling them from sight.
 A relief crew was sent from Freder-s ick and after hazardous work the train was reached and brought back tD Bruceville. All the freight over tho Frederick division of the Pennsylvania, system were sidetracked at Taney.s town on account of the drifts

CNCALLED FOR ALARM,
Dr Hobart Makes q Wild Speech Be
 fore Conference of Ministers.

LII IIOpdIL ddhtS d W llu SDe9cn be-
 fore Conference of Ministers.
 Philadelphia, Jan 29.-The Rev pr C. II. Hobart, a professor in Crozier Theological seminary. in speaking to q resolution presented by the Rev Kerr Boyce Tupper 10 the conference of Baptist ministers yesterday made sensational speech i'll which he charged representatives of the Roman Catholic church in New York state. in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, with stealing public funds and com hitting other iniquities. The resolu- 1ion dealt with the separation of church and state. It was adopted and a motion passed that copy be sent to PreS4ent Mckinley
 The resolution recites that tlle re- cent acquisitions Of lands that have heretofore been under the domination Of T government that was subscryient to the dictates of the Roman Catholic. clergy makes it incumbcnt t.on the ma tlonal government to determine upon some system of education hy which the people may be fitted for the civic duties Which will devoive upon them. The ecclesiastical leaders who have previously had so much to do with the government and education, the resolu- ton says, will for q long time fail to see the wisdom of tine American idea of the separation of church and state, and will make strenuous efforts for the continuance of their old privileges and customs. The resolution voices protest against the recent decision of the Philippine commission which gave religious teachers even the request of parents permission to give religious Instruction to Filipino children in schools onarf fnpMe eao1,Iov ad,,o, tion. The resolution ends with an ap- peal to the president to be loyal in the defense and propagation of the idea of the separation of church and state.
 Dr Hobart made vigorous speech. He said that the Philippines were al- ready subject to Roman Catholic Jesuitical controf' and that "the visits of certain bishops to the White House" might serve as an explanation. ..There are now,' he said, five cities in the state of New York where Rom ish priests. contrary to law, are steal ing money from the public funds to support their schools. It Is well known that in Cuba like condition of affairs exists. We must fight Rome or it will defeat us. The archbishop, let me say, who is in charge of the campaign, is the same one who was in charge of the Indian school fight. He knows all the lines and their weak places.and he does not sleep all of the twenty-four hours either. We must fight, for no other denomination has more cause to oppose Rome than the Baptists.' 7

ESCAPED FROM BURNING HOUSE
Kerosene Lamp Upset and the Flames
 Spread Rapidly.


 Boston, Jan 29.-There was intense excitement at fire in the West End early last evening, caused by the nar- row escape of several persons from a burning building at 57 Auburn street and the daring rescue of part of the occupants by the tiremen and police.
 All but two pieces of apparatus that ordinarily respond to the alarm from box All, which sounded at 6:2S o'clock, had answered another alarm from box 13. nine minutes before. This caused delay in the arrival of the appara- tuS. box 414 acting as second alarm and calling second alarm apparatus. Otherwise the fire would probably not have amounted to much.
 The house is owned by q man named Jacobs. and is occupied by George Mo- rong as q lodging house. The rear basement he lets to Joseph Brge, and if was here the fire started. The cause, it is said, was Birge upsettng q kerosene lamp. The flames spread so rapidly that the occupants Of the room barely escaped. A citizen ran and pulled in the alarm, and Fred Leary of Ladder 12, who was on a day off and visiting the adjoining house, rendered valuable aid in rescu- ing Mrs Ernest Rickenbury from the second story of the house, and Mrs jumped from q second story WlndoW and was caught in q blanket by per sons under Leary's direction.
 By this time the fire had cut on the escape of every person In the upper part of the house by means Of the stairway. Patrolnan Peter J. Norton of station 3, in trying to get up the front stairway. had his hair and mus tache badly singed. To the fact that he was on hand an unknown man un- doubtedly owes his life. The latter started to come down the stairway, and. being met by the flames, he jumped landing in a heap at the bot tom of the stairs, to be caught by Nor- ton and carried safely out.
 His burning garments were what set fire to the policeman's hair and mus tache.
 Then q cry was raised that there was a man in a rear attic room. AS access by the stairway was cut or, Florence Donahue, member of com bination ladder s, reached the TOOL Dv the adjoining house, and, climbing out of the attic window in the rear. walked along the caves through. Throwing up the window he caught hold ot the man inside. who later pfoNeu lo pe James Ferguson. 44 years old, the hus- band of the woman who had jumped.
 Ferguson was so overcome by smoke that Donahue had to pull him out Of the window and carry him in his arms back to the window in the adjoining house. They passed him in to Patrol man Norton. who had followed him up. Both Ferguson and his wife were taken to the Massachusetts hospital. There the former was found to be sui fering from being overcome by smoke His wife, Mary. escaped with slight injury TO one arm and the shock due to the excitement.
 The lower part of the house was pretty well burned out. involving loss of about $1,2OO, and the adjoin- ing house. No 55. owned by Mrs Burns and occupied by Hugh Me Laughlin, was slightly damaged.

PURPLE WILL BE THE COLOR
Of Mourning Emblem for Queen
 Victoria.
Saturday Will Be Observed As a Day of General Mourning-Thirty-E Eight British Vessels To Take Part In The Naval Display.

London, Jan o9.-King Edward has ordered Saturday to be observed as day of general mourning. All the banks will be closed and business sus- pended.
 The arrangements for the funeral thus far are provisional and subject to the approval of the King, who will come to London tomorrow to look over what has been proposed and to give his decision.
 The office of works directs, by order of the King, that all draperies dis played by citizens shall be of purple. The procession from St Georges s Chapel Royal, at Windsor, to Frog more has been abandoned, and the coffin will remain in the chapel until the day of lntermenI, which will prob- ably be Monday.
 The funeral procession will leave OS- borne house Friday at ? D. m. The route to the pier will be lined with troops and the royal personages will follow the coffin on foot.
 An order issued by Admiral Sir Charles Frederick Hotham shows that thirty-eight British vessels will take P.il III tle Hufdl SuSpluy.
 In order to give Londoners q full opportunity to witness the funeral pro- cession. it has been decided to extend the route, which Is now fixed to pass Buckingham palace, through St James, park and past St James palace to P1cadilly, then along Picadilly to Hyde park corner, through Hyde park, emerging at the marble arch, then along Edgeware road to Paddington station.
 This is double the length of the route originally intended, and will oc- cupy fully two hours. For similar rea- sons the route at Windsor has been extended to include High street, Park street and Long walk, before entering the castle.
 The gun carriage bearing the cof- fin will be drawn by the six cream colored Flemish horses used by the late Queen at the time of the diamond jubilee, and the same harness will be used, but it will not be covered with craDe.
 The outermost casket will be sent to Osborne tonight. The silver and brass inscription plates bear, in old English letters. the names and titles of her majesty.
 Emperor William has commanded Count Von Wedel, master of horse. to bring six of his majesty's chargers from Berlin, and the Kaiser. the crown prince and the other Germans in official attendance at the funeral will ride in the procession. The gun carriages to be used at Cowes and Windham and in London will be paint ed khaki color and fitted with rub Der tires.
 King Edward has commanded A. toresher to draw the lying-in-state for him.
 The King and Queen, with the Kaiser, will attend the memorial ser vice in St Georges chapel, Windsor, Sunday.
