MAY HOLD \ SPECIAL SERVICE.
Duffy Street Baptists VIII If Union
Service Is Not Held.

Rev. r. Van Deventer of the Duffy
Street Baptist Church. in his prayer
at the morning service of yesterday
made a special appeal in behalf of
Mrs. Mckinley and the stricken coun-
try, and in his sermon spoke of the
noble character of the dead President,
and his glorious Christian death.
Just before the conclusion of the
service the pastor referred to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's proclamation, calling
upon the people to assemble I'm their
respective places of worship on Thurs
day, the day of the funeral, and FAY
homage of love for the good and dead
President; also TO the suggestion made
by the Mayor as to a union service on
that day, and asked the pleasure OF
the church in the matter.
After some discussion. by a unani-
nous vote it was decided that in the
event no union memorial services are
held, the Duffy Street Baptist Church
will assemble in the church at II a. m.
Thursday to hold a service to the
Presidents memory. This service will
be a public one, of course.

TO THE SINS OF THE NATION.
Rev. DIR. McCOrrkIe Attributes the
Death of the President.

The death of President Mckinley and
the causes that led to 1t were dis
cussed by Rev. William P. McCorkle
yesterday morning at the First Pres
byterian Church. He drew his text
from Judges ii: II, IL. IA, And the chill
dren of Israel did evil in the sight of
the Lord, and served Baalm:
And they forsook the Lord God of
their fathers, which brought them out
of the land of Egypt. and followed 9TH
er gods. of the gods of the people that
were found about them, and bowed
themselves unto them. and provoked
the Lord to anger
And the anger OF the Lord was hot
against Israel, and ne delivered them
into the hands of the spoilers thai
spoiled them, and he sold them into
the hands of their enemies round about.
$" that they could not any longer stand
before their enemies
Speaking of the dead President Mr.
McCOrkle said that he was a man of
pure and elevated life, of good prin-
clpleS, patriotic, honest, and above all
a Christian. He showed the conscen-
tious department of the Christian when
he was stricken, when he was under
the knife of the surgeon, and above all
in his death, when murmuring a hymn.
he sank. to his rest.
The attack upon the President and
his death, Rev. McCorkle stated. was a.
public calamity Then he took UP the
question, Have we as a nation in
vited it by our sins?" This he discussed
at some length. The sins of the day
he said, are the worship of wealth. the
exaltation of pleasure as the chief end
of life, the increase of immortality, as
shown in the statistics Of the divorce
courts; the decay of home life, the
the cause of all increasing unbeliefs.
and the rejection of God and His
word.
Mr.. McCorkle referred to the greed
of corporate wealth." and to the mon
opolists as the spoilers into whose
hands the people had been delivered.
Anarchy, he said is the child of ty-
rarny and the spirit that prompted the
blow at the President is but a bubble
upon the stream of discomfort that
exists among the laboring class a dis
content that is the result of monopo-
lies and class legislation

KNIFE PIERCED THE HEART.
MaIinda MaxweIIs Blow Was n
Vicious One.

| A stab directly through the heart
was the wound that caused the death
of Matilda Montgomery, colored. on
Arnold and Liberty streets, at an
early hour yesterday morning. An eX-
animation by Coroner Keller and Po-
lice Surgeon Osborne yesterday devel-
oped the fact that there had only been
one wound.
At first it was believed that the wo-
man had been cut to pieces. and only
after the physicians had made an eX-
animation of the body was it found
that a single wound had caused death.
The knife of Malinda Maxwell went
deep into the left breast. severed a
rib and made an opening in the heart.
The blow was a downward one and
made what appeared on the surface 10
be a wide cut. 1t was in reality a
stab.
The Maxwell woman lost her nerve
completely yesterday and said that she
felt sure she would serve the remainder
of her days in the pententiary, al
though she claims that she used the
knife in selfdefense. The weapon was
not found by the police and the wo-
man says that she threw Il away
while making her escape through
Perry street lane. She describes the
blade that entered the Montgomery
woman's heart as being long and slen-
der, and says that she had been carry
the knife open since last Wednesday.
The prisoner says that several
months ago she lived with the Mont
gomery woman. who. however. would
neither pay her rent or do any of the
hn
dispute at that time and, according
to the prisoner. never spoke until just
before the tragedy. The Maxwell wo-
man alleges that on last Wednesday
night two of Matildas friends assault
ed her on Liberty street, and that she
was knocked down with a rock at that
time. She carries the scar on her fore
head.
The murderess says that she had a
row with the Montgomery woman and
two of her friends. a short while be-
fore the homicide and that the arrival
of Patrolman Jernigan caused a post
ponement of hostilities. Shortly after
wards she met Matilda on East Broad
and Liberty streets and the quarrel
was renewed. The language used and
the cause of the final alteration is UNI
fit for publication. The women walked
to Arnold street, where the profanity
was renewed.
The Maxwell woman says that she
had the open knife up her right sleeve
and that she experienced some difficult
ty in getting it out. She alleges that
the Montgomery woman picked up
chair from in front of a shop on the
corner and struck her across the head
with ii three times. She has no marks
to show for the alleged blows, and the
eye witnesses secured by the police
Yesterday saw that no such thing hD
pened. The Maxwell woman says that
when she did get her knife out she
struck one blow for the heart with
all her force and left for Jones'
field. She was found there and arrest
ed by Detectives Murphy and Wall. 1t
transpires that both women were So
Der. Coroner Keller will hold an in
quest in the Police Court room to-
night.

two or three days"
No further message or information
was received at the bureau last night.
The Maximum temperature yester-
day, 80 degrees. while lower than that
of either of the preceding days, was
still high enough to give. with the min
imum, IS degrees, a mean that was
degrees above the normal, and which
thus increases the excess for the month
to &c and reduces the shortage of the
year to 203 degrees. The rainfall for
the month shows a deficiency of 3.0I
inches, and that of the year a short
age of sos inches.
The state forecast for to-day and TO-
morrow is for partly cloudy weather,
probably showers in southwest PORTION;
light northerly winds, becoming vari-
able.

CATHOLICS HONOR HIM.
Dead President spoken of IN Cathe-
draI and Sacred Heart Church.

Dead President spoken of IN Cathe-
draI and Sacred Heart Church.
At each of the three masses cele-
brated at the Cathedral of st. John
the Baptist yesterday, by Rev. Fa-
theirs Reich Kennedy and Halpin, the
congregation was asked to remember
in their prayers the dead President.
Those that rule, said Father Kennedy
are of Gods appointment, and should
be remembered in our prayers.
At the Sacred Heart Church, Rev.
Father Aloysius also referred to the
character and death of the President.
He was a good man." he said, even
though his policy might not at all times
meet our appreciation. His stand in
the Spanish American War had been
condemned by some Catholics, but they
should remember that it was a party
measure and that as an individual Nc
Kinley may have been as bitterly OPP
posed to the war as they were. For
Catholics to have insisted upon their
views might have had a consequence
similar to the controversy between
Queen Elizabeth and the Pope, which
resulted in the loss of England to the
Roman Catholic Church.
1--WE, as Catholics, are loyal subjects,
and should at all times prove so: should
rejoice with the nation in it's prosperity
and weep with it when in tears. Presi-
dent McKinley's devotion to his invalid
wife, even had he not been President
should have endeared him to ALL
Further, the speaker said that the
dead President should be held doubly
dear by the South, for not since the
time of Lincoln had there been an
other president who did so much as he
to bridge the chasm that separated the
sections of the country Father Alloy
sius closed the sermon with the hope
that the South, especially the Southern
Catholics, would do everything possible
to honor the memory of the dead on
Thursday

Discussed by Rev. DIR. SchaeRer in
Connection With the Assassin I'll on.

Rev. DR.. w. G. Schaeffer, pastor of
the Lutheran Church of the Ascension
spoke yesterday at the morning ser.
vice on text growing out of the as
sassination of President NJ Kinley. He
spoke of the Presidents worth as Pres .
ident and as man, and his fine Chris
tan character as shown in the very
moment of death itself. The main point
of the sermon, however, was devoted
to the discussion Of the sacredness of
life. it's heavenly origin, and the awful
crime committed by him that destroys
it.
During the service prayers were of
fered not only for the dead President
and his afflicted wife and family, but
also for the newly made chief of the
