Work on the new church, however, will not be commenced immediately, for Father Karam wishes to have the pres ent debt on the church property entirely wiped out before any work is begun on the new church.. At the beginning of the year the church debt was $4, 300, $2,000 of which has ben paid off during the past few months. The Rev Father Karam is in hopes that the remainder of the debt will be paid by the end of July, so that the work on the new church may be commenced by August 1. Services will be held in the present church while the new church is being built The new church will be erected on the site of the present church. but it will be much longer, wider and high CT and will be of brick. It will be erected around the present church.

ASTONISHED THE OFFICERS
The Presidents Action In Captain J. B.
0oghlan's Case Surprises The
Navy Contingent,

The action OF the President in Teslor-
ing 10 Captain /. II. Coghlan the mum.
bers in his grade lost as a result of a
court martial many years ago. Is regard
ed by naval officers as astonishing. in
view Of the offense charged against the
Captain and the fepfimand he received
from the Secretary Of the Navy.
The letter which brought about the
court martial was sent by Captain Cogh-
lin TO Mr.. William =. Moran, a clerk In
the Navy Department. and was written
in the spring OF 1876. The official record
in the case shows that Captain Cogh-
Ian, then a lieu,enant-commande was
charged with conduct "unbecoming an
officer and gentleman" and "scanda-
lous conduct tending to the destruction
OF coed morals"
The specifications set forth that he
wrote Mr.. Moran a letter "in violation
OF his duty as gentleman, and Of the
laws Of decency, decofum and morality"
and that II was "profane, indecent, scan
dalous and lhfe atenirg and did thereby
violate good morals. Captain Coghlan
was sentenced to one years suspension
and to loss OF promotion du'iDg that
period. Secretary Robson approved the
sentence, though not in the fullest sense
Neither the evidence, he said, nor the
defense show ed any cause OF excuse for
the "violent and vindictive tone and dis
graceful language OF the letter"

SECRETARY LONGS STATEMENT.
Refutes The Charges By The Methodist
Conferences of The Navy Chap
lain's Hard Lot.

The agitation by ministers Of various
denominations OF the question of pay and
uniforms OF naval chaplsi1s has again
received the atte ention OF Secretary Long.
Mr.. Long has written letters to the com.
plainanls, in which he declares the navy
chaplain is as well paid as any other
officer OF equal rank in the service and
attire d in suitable uniforms.
The Southern New England Methodist
Episcopal Conference adopted resolutions
this week stating that the chaplains are
brought into disrepute by the character
OF the uniforms they are r,quir, to wear
and the smaller pay they receive as COM
pared to officers OF other grades. Secre-
tary Long responds 10 this by asserting
that the ehapIains receives probably three
times as much money as he would in
civil life, with the same experience.
Secretary Long says the uniform OF
the chaplains cannot possibly place him
at any disadvantage with the officers OF
the navy. He states that he knows OF no
designations from the corps OF cbaplains
an the ground that the pay is insufficient
or that the position impairs selfrespect.
He shows that in the line OF the Marine
Corps the sea pay OF major Is 81. 500.
while the chaplain. on appointment, re-
ceives 81, 900 to begin with.

Called For Wednesday April l6 The Gov
srnor Explains.

ernor Explains.
Governor S ith issued his pfoclama-
ton yesterday calling the Legislature in
extra session on Wednesday. April I6. TO
pass the State tax bill.
In calling an extra session OF the Cen
eral Assembly OF Maryland the Governor
has deemed II necessary to address a let
ter TO the People OF Maryland" expIa-
natory Of the facts in the case, in which
he says:
1.-THE failure OF the General Assembly
at its recent session TO provide Law for
the levy and collection OF State taxes for
the years 1904 and 1898 renders special
session absolutely unavoidable.
Without such legislation State taxes
for these years cannot lawfully be levied
and collected, for the plain reason that
there is now no statute at all providing
ftr such State taxation.
al have therefore issued an executive
proclamation calling special session 10
meet on Wednesday, April 10 instant. al
noon, for the passage OF this indispensa.
bic legislation.
"No other subject need be considered,
and sincerely trust that no disposition
will be exhibited at this special session,
called TO meet an extraordinary emer-
gency. TO introduce any other measure
whatsoever.
"Under the circumstances feel may
properly declare my executive approval
ought not TO be expected to be given TO
any other bill

The Best Plaster.

A piece of flannel dampened with
Champerlain's Pain Balm and bound to
the affected parts is superior to any plas-
ter. When troubled with lame back or
pains in the side or chest, give it a trial
and you are certain to be more than
pleased with the prompt relief which it
affords. Pain Balm also cures rheuma-
tism. One application gives relief. For

People of Mississippi SquGIched
 the Sentiment
CITIZENS ARM THEMSELVES
One Negro Wrote Letter to Another Urging the Members of Ills Race 10 Burn and Destroy
 Homes of the Whites.

Meridian, Miss, June s.-(Speciai. 1.-The north of Meridian which so alarmed the people has been nipped in the bud by the determined stand of the whites, who armed themselves and placed the leaders of the gang under arrest. The negroes arrested are Green Johnson and Nate Moore. The calling upon the negroes to band themselves against the whites was addressed to Nate Moore and was signed by a negro named Ruffin, who Is a Bap- tist preacher. The letter said that a mob of fifty negroes would form in Rio, Kem- per county. twenty-five miles northeast of Meridian, and march to Green John sons house. and from there start through the country and kill all the whites, de- stroy their farms and burn their houses. As soon as the whites learned of the devilish purpose of the negroes, who out number the whites in this section two to one, they armed themselves with Win chester rifles and in short time had so intimidated the negroes that it Is now thought the alleged uprising is frustrat- ed. The people of threatened districts are very much alarmed and will keep on the alert until all possible danger Is out of the question. The people of Marion. from which news of the proposed upris- Ing and threats first reached this city, are very much wrought up and are pre- pared for emergencies at moments notice.

PISTOL BATTLE
 WITH ITALIANS
MADE INSULTING REMARKS ABOUT SOME WOMEN WHO
 PASSED CAMP WITH THEIR HUSBANDS AND FIRING BEGAN.

St. Paul. Mnn., June 8.-A battle was fought with pistols and shotguns late to- dsy between three citizens and about thirty Italians employed in a camp on the Chicago Great Western Road at the end of the Concord street car line, re- sulting in the serious injury of four men, one of whom will die
 A Roberge 1s shot in the abdomen and face. and will die.
 N. Narcotic of Minneapolis is shot in the hands and chest. His injuries are not serious.
 Fred Wayman is wounded in the abdo- men and is expected to recover.
 The Italians, It is said, had been drink ing during the day, and when MT. and Mrs Roberge, MT. and Mrs. Narcotic and MT Wayman passed the camp after | fishing trip some of the laborers who were lounging on the ground made disre- spectful remarks about the women. Ro- berge and Narcotic understood the in- suits spoken in Italian and answered.
 A pistol shot was fired, immediately followed by several others. The Italians lid themselves in the ditch they had been digging, barricaded themselves be- hind trees and camp buildings, and from their position of vartage began a fusil- lade of shots.
 The shooting ceased for a while, and witnesses say some laborers ran into the camp building, and one of them fired several times with shotgun. The police arrested twenty of the Italians and twelve were detained at the police sta- tion for investigation

The response of everybody assem- bled in the square was immediate and un- restrained The open letter of the Boer leaders to the burghers in which peace Is announced, and in which the burghers are counseled to loyal acquiesence, is an eloquent and pathetic document In it the leaders thank the burghers for their noble sacrifice and express their sym pathy for the bereaved. The letter con cludes as follows:
 "Now that there Is peace, and although 1t Is not peace such as we longed for, yet let us abide where God has led us We can. with clear consciences. declare that for two aid q half years our people have carried or the struggle in a manner almost unknown 10 history. Let us now grasp each others hands for another great struggle lies before us, a struggle for the spiritual and racial prosperity ard welfare of our people. Casting aside all feeling of bitterness, let us learn to forget and to forgive. so that the deep wounds caused by this war may be healed"
 The document is signed by General schalk- Burger. formerly active vice pres idcDt of the Transvaal and Gen. Louis Botha.

FATHER KERRIGAN
 4 FINE PREACHER
THE NEW ASSISTANT PRIEST AT ST. PAUL,s CHURCH WAS HEARD IN BIRMINGHAM FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY.

The Rev. Father Kerrigan. recently ap- pointed assistant to the Rev. Father O'Reilly. pastor of St. Paul's church. preached his first sermon here yesterday at the late mass. His theme was the story of the prodigal sor. This parable has been called the greatest of parables. After filing In the outlines with local cclor Father KrrriGan nede a practical application of the grsat truth contained in the narrative. va ly men in these times, said the priaw when they sink low in sin give up i1f despair and com init suicide. But the prodigal repsnted of his folly and had the courage to return to his father and humbly appeal for par don. And the kind father received him lovingly.
 While the Heavenly Father is al--a ys ready to restore the repentant sinner to His favor, the preacher warned his hear CTS not to be guilty of presuming upon Gods goodness and mercy.
 Father Kerrigan is a fluent and impress sive speaker. and his pulpit manner Is altogether pleasing He has rich, musi- cal voice, too. but as only low masses are said during the summer, the conere- gation at St. Paul's will not have an ap- portunity of hearing him intone the ser vice until next fall.

SEVERE RAIN STORMS.
Train Crews In West Say They Never
 Encountered Such Heavy RaIns.

St. Joseph, Mo. June s-Train crews ar irving today from runs extending west into Kansas and Nebraska say they never encountered such heavy rain storms in their railway experience as they met last night All trains were greatly delayed. A St. Joseph and Grand Island engineer at point 100 miles west of here. said the rain fell in such heavy sheets that it was impossible to see even few feet from the cab of his engine. He sought refuge for his passenger train on a sid. ing, remaining there several hours until the storm subsided.
 Large sections of fine agricultural land in what is known as the Platt purchase are entirely submerged. The losses in tfe crops will be enormous. Farmers believe that in general way the losses will be evened by increased yield of crops on table lands.
