Manila, Nov. 6.-The Panducan Church
here has been the scene Of serious dis
turbances approaching riots and many ar
rests have been made. A portion of the
CONGREGATION announced its intention a
week ago of joining the Philippine Catho-
lie Church and the pastor. Father Sorren-
do, preached a sermon rebuking the ols-
sidents. 1t was asserted that Father
Serrendo, during his sermon. violated
confessional secrets and he was later at
tackled in the streets. All these concern

The dissenters then took possession OF
the church, but the priest dislodged them
Dissenters recaptured the building and on
Tuesday Bishop Aglipay. the leader OF
the dissident movement celebrated mass
there before a large crowd. Later the
dissenters drew up a deed OF gift trans

to the Roman Catholics. He advised the
dissenters to surrender 1t and suggested
an appeal to the courts If they thought
they had rights in the case and strongly
counselled them against disorder. The
dissenters accepted his advice and sur
rendered possession of the church. During
the quarrels crowds of natives surrounded
the edifice and a strong detachment OF
police alone prevented a serious outbreak

This train. it will be remembered, was

the train was the cause Of hor-
rible tragedy. Near the little sta
ton of Mallory. three miles north OF

and Miss Judith Owens, her daughter.
were instantly killed. The way 1t hap
pened was like this:
Mallory is a SMALL station at which
train No. does not stop, and the train
was running at fair rate of speed when
1t passed there, not intending to stop
until the train reached Franklin. three
miles down the road. Just below Mallory
there Is a public road crossing, and En-
gineer Barry sounded the usual road
crossing signals. A one-horse surry with
two ladies drove DIP on the crossing just
as the flying train reached It.
Horror stricken, the engineer mechanic
ally grabbed the whistle and the shrieks
voiced his own agony. To have stopped
then would have been just as easy as
to dam Niagara's resistless cataract, ana
one awful result was inevitable. Why
the ladies did not see their Impending
doom will never be known, ana as tney
drove on the crossing the pilot OF the fly
ing engine struck che light carriage.
Both ladies were instantly killed, Mrs.
Owens neck being broken and her
daughter having her skull crushed, De-
sides being dragged some distance.
The carriage was reduced to a shat
tered mass Of splintsrs, but for some In
explicabie reason the horse escaped with
out a scratch.
AS soon as possible the train was
brought to a stop and the bodies Of the
two unfortunate ladies were tenderly
placed in the baggage car and carried
to Franklin, where they were delivered
to the local undertaken.
Mrs. Owens was widow ana ner
daughter was middle-aged. The family IL

The station. Mallory. was originally called

The accident happened shortly after 3
o'clock yesterday morning and the train
which came in to Montgomery was forty
minutes late last night owing to the ac-
cident.

MAJORITY IS 42,255
THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY II
OVERWHELMING.
Burnett Wins in the Seventh Con-
gressional District by 1,6o4-Few
Members of Legislature are
Anti-Democrattc.

birmingham, Nov. -(Special)-Ac-
cordins to complete and estimated returns
received by E. K. Campbell, Chairman
of the State Democratic Campaign Com
mittee from practically every County IN
the state, the majority of Governor jerks
and the state ticket is 1925. The official
corn+ NAV reduce this some but not to
any great extent.
II appears that a heavier vote was
cast in many counties than was AZ hls'
supposed. Only two counties are posi-
lively known to have been carried by the
Republican State ticket-Marshall, by Us
majority; and Chiffon by 125 majority.
Winston County has not been heard from
bv Democratic headquarters and is close.
Only one Populist and two Republicans
are known to have been elected to the
Legislature, although returns from -FOUR
close counties are not yet in.
There is not the slightest doubt ABOUT
the election of a solid Democratic Con-
gressional delegation. Burnetts majority
in the Seventh District is figured at 1,6O4.
In Jefferson County, fifty-six of sixty
one boxes heard from gives total vote
of 1915 of which Jelks, Democrat re-
ceived 4,O12 making his majority S,O46
