ACCIDENT AT MINES.
Cars Killed Mules and 1n-
 iured Four Men.

Montevallo, Sept. 2s.-(Special l-What came near being a serious accident oc- cured at the Montevallo mines, in Al drich, yesterday evening as the last trip of cars were being hoisted to the top. The trip consisted of six loaded cars on which about a dczen men were riding out. Just as the cars neared the top the wire rope parted and the cars dashed at a fearful speed down the slope. Three mules were on the way coming out and were struck and instantly killed. All the men jumped off. but four were seriously hurt
 No blame Is attached to the company. as it was positively against orders for the men to ride the cars out.

MISSIONARIES IN AFRICA.
The Rev. j. $. Crowley Relates Ex-
perienceS In the Cnnun Eree Sfnte

The story of the life and work of mis-
sionaries in the Congo Free State, Africa,
was briefly but interestingly told by the
Rev. ]. ). Crowley to a large congre-
cation yesterday at the morning service
at the Central Presbyterian Church. The
Rev. MIR. Crowley spent many years as a
missionary among the natives of the Free
State, and came to the United States on
business connected with his work. He
will return to Africa in August. He took
for his text yesterday, And he said unto
them, go into all parts OF the world and
preach the gospel.
Before discussing his text the Rev. Mr.
Crowley told of the customs and manners
of the natives of the Congo Free State,
and related many of the difficulties which
the missionaries are compelled to over
come in carrying the gospel of Christ to
the natives.
The people are ignorant" he said
"and are believers in witchcraft. With
these difficulties confronting the Chris
tian world 1t is natural for all TO consider
how the word of God is to be carried to
such people and how to obtain an
audience by them. The work In the Congo
Free State was undertaken about ten
years ago by Mr.. Lapsley and Mr.. Shep-
erd of Alabama. The former was a slave
ter was a slave They went to Africa and
worked side by side for the salvation of
the natives Of the Congo Free State. Mr..
Lapsley died and Mr.. Sheperd returned
to the United States, but again after
short stay here resumed his labors among
the Free Staters.
The benefits accomplished by the
Missionaries are visible in the founding of
a Christian colony of natives, numbering
over four hundred. There is need now of
more missionaries to carry on the work
which has been undertaken with such
gratifying results. At least five mission
aries are needed, and there is a particular
need for q physician missionary. 1t is
in the interest of this that l returned TO
the United States. Already day and Sun
day schools have been established for
the benefit of the children OF the Congo
Free State colony, at which about one
hundred and fifty of the natives receive
instruction.
1t is astonishing how the missionaries
who have been doing active work for
several years hold ont. There is no com
plaint heard from them, but nevertheless
they feel that they should be relieved. The
results Of the good work Of the mission
aries are plainly seen in the morals OF
those Of the natives who have come
under their influence and teaching. No
longer does the Christian native take
unto himself forty or more wives. and the
killing of slaves upon the death of a king
or other ruler of a tribe is practically
a thing of the past
The devotional exercises before the
sermon were conducted by the Rev. DR..
PitZer pastor OF the church.

A TOWN IN TWO STATES.
One Part i'm Virginia and the Other
in Tennessee
CFrom the Chicago Record }


A Washington despatch says that a
certain change in the boundary line, as
agreed between Virginia and Tennessee
has just been ratified by Congress. This
recalls a good story. For years the town
of Bristol, In east Tennessee, has had
the unique distinction of being in two
States. There are two separate munich
pal corporations, one under the laws OF
Tennessee and the other under the laws
Of Virginia. They are known as Bristol
Tenn, and Bristol, Va The corporation
Of Bristol, Tenn. extended to the east
curbing Of Main Street, the principal
business thoroughfare Of the twin cities.
Both corporations wished to pave this
stTeet-that is. they considered it neces-
sary-but how TO go about to divide the
expense attached was the question to be
considered
The city Of Bristol. Tenn. did not care
10 pay for paving the entire thOrOughfaTe
up TO the sidewalk on the Bristol tEa)
side, while the corporation Of Bristol,
Va. could not step across the ina ginary
line and eXoend city funds in Tennessee.
This was a tangled proposition for the
fathers of the two cities 1t was sug-
gested that the matter be taken to the
Legislature and have the Tennessee Cen
eral Assembly cede one-half of Main
Street to Virginia. The sister State was
ticked to death to accept the proposition,
as Governor Tyler told Governor Nc
Miliu over the telephone the other day
The Tennessee soluns passed the bill IT
was engrossed and sent TO the Virginia
General Assembly. These lawmakers ac-
cepted the gift and then Congress was
asked 70 ratify the action of the two
Legislatures.
The result Of the work is that the
boundary line between Virginia and Ten
nessee is in the center of Main Street
There is now an electric street car line
on this thoroughfare, with one rail in
Tennessee and the other in Virginia.
Each State will collect onc-half the
taxes on the street railway property.
The car line runs along for a mile and
half in the two States Many interesting
stories are told of complications in the
past caused by the boundary line.

WHY CHRISTIANS FAIL.
The Rev. DR.. Wilson breaches ON the
Efficacy of Prayer.

At the Foundry Church Fourteenth and
@ Streets northwest the Rev. Luther B.
Wilson, d. D.. delivered a sermon yester-
day morning on the subject, 'One of the
Worlds Greatest Problems" He said in
part:
" Why could not we cast him out?
This question sets before us one of the
most striking instances in the life of our
Lord On the mountain summit the Lord
had been transtigured before the disci-
pies.
And descending the mountain, the dis
cipIes found the father with the sick
child, possessed of a devil, awaiting them
The disciples endeavored to heal the
child but failed And the Master comes
and they bring the child to Jesus. Christ
touches him and the child is made well
and the devil leaves him. Then Jesus
and his disciples went away. and the dis
ciples asked of Christ, Why could not
we cast him out?' 1t is an assertion of
expectancy. The disciples, in view of
their relations with the Christ. expect
greater things of themselves than of 9th
er men.
The whole trend of Christ's answer is
an encouragement of this expectancy.
God wishes to make us dissatisfied with
the accomplishment of little things He
does not wish us TO ring the bells over
small victories. We dare not sit down
and say we have done so much. 1t is
music to his ear TO hear the eXpe Clancy
of endeavor after greater things are
achieved.
why can't we? This is the problem.
If Peter could lift up the lame and make
them walk, why cant We? If one man
can, by the divine spark in his heart, lift
up the burdens of others and illumine the
way to glorious Christian endesvor, why
can't we?
1T is not a matter for great glory to
say that we have turned the key in one
saloon. Why can we not close the door
upon the whole rum question. Listen to
what Jesus said: This kind cometh forth
only by fasting and prayer.
Prayer and faith and fasting, 1t seems
like an old-fashioned creed, one practiced
by our fathers fifty years ago. back in
the apostolic days. back in the days when
Jesus, in the flesh and blood, was upon
earth. Old fashions are not so bad after
all, when there is hunger and thirst and
intensity of desire behind them
Prayer and fasting! They bring us
nearer to God. A little more faith,
little more prayer. a little more cIinging
to Christ-then Will we be able to do many
things.
Why can't l. Lord?' After all it is a
message of hope. Master divine, come,
speak unto us this day. until there shall
be born in our hearts great expectancy
by prayer and fasting. AS a result of our
challenge of self there will come a VIC
