The spot where the first sermon
was preached in Kentucky has
been located near Harrods0urg,
and will be marked by a stone.
The discovery is the result of an
investigation by a committee, who
have decided that the place where
an elm tree stood is the spot where
Rev. Tinsley, in 1776, delivered the

 Present Message.

Washington, October 2S.-Some of the foremost scientists of the world were among a party of thirty visitors who arrived here today from New York where they attended the International Congress of Auiericanists. They were received by President Roosevelt. Alfredo Chavero, delegate from Mexico to the congress, presented message of good will to President Roosevelt from President Diaz.

I am very glad to see you" The President also took occasion to express his interest in the Indian race when Miss Fletcher of this city and Frank La Flesche were presented with the party.

RESULT OF LEGAL FIGHT
 OVER FAMILY PROPERTY
Was Declared Insane and Placed In Asylum, and on Escape She Filed Suit Against Her Brother
 for $5o,ooo.

Valparaiso. Ind, October 2S.-An excit- ing race between Sheriff Lacount of Por- ter county upon one side, and City Mar shal Billings of Valparaiso and Dr. J. c. Sharpe of Jacksonville, Ills, upon the other, with the liberty of a young wom- an the stake, set this city wild this afternoon. The objective point was the Pennsylvania depot. and upon the result of the contest hinged the freedom of Miss Stella Josephine Teller cousin of United States Senator Henry M. Teller of Colo rado
 Miss Teller, after some family trouble, concerning certain property. was placed, half year ago, in a private insane asy- lum at Jacksonville, H. She escaped from that institution three months ago and came to this place, where she has quietly resided since her escape. Recent ly she engaged legal counsel and prepared to file suit for $5O,00O against one of her brothers, for her asylum experience. This step revealed her whereabouts and Dr. Sharpe of the Jacksonville institution came here to take her back

The writ was signed, a notary public who happened to be a passenger on the train affixed his seal Circuit Judge McMahon hastened to grant the necessary instructions, and Sheriff Lacount by a remarkable burst of speed caught Dr. Sharpe and his unwilling protege as the train started to pull out of the station.

PROMPT ANSWER TO
 COLOMBIA'S NOTE
THOUGH NOT DlVULGED IT ISl SAID TO DEAL ALMOST EXcLU- slVELY WITH THE QUESTION OF SOVEREIGNTY OF IsTHMUs.

Washington, October 2S.-It was learn ed today that a prompt answer had been made by the state department to the latest Colombian note respecting the Pan- anna canal treaty, which was transmit ted to the department Monday. It's na- ture was not divulged, but the presump- tion Is that 1t deals almost entirely with Colombias representations regarding the sovereignty of the isthmus, which the Colombians feel has been seriously in- vaded by the acts of Commander Mc- Lean and Admiral Casey in preventing the prompt movement of troops across the railroad. This matter, as before stated, Is now the subject of negotia- tions between the Colombian government and Minister Hart at Bogota, and an early adjustment is looked for.
 The state department is anxious that a settlement be reached in order to facil- itate the completion of the Panama ca nal treaty. MT. Concha, the Colombian minister, has received ample and specific instructions empowering him to proceed in this matter, which has been retarded only by his controversy which has arisen regarding the transit of the isthmus.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-10-29
SERIOUS HITCH IMPENDING.
Colombian Note Was Framed Before
 Arrival of Admiral Casey.

washington, October 2S.-The last Co., 1ombian note respecting the canal treaty which arrived in Washington several days ago. has not yet been delivered to the state department, and there is some reason to fear that serious hitch is impending This note was framed at Bogota September 16 last, date prior to the arrival of Admiral Casey in isthmian waters. and his checking of the passage of troops across the isthmus by rail. Since that date the admiral has had sew eral occasions to assert a police power over the Panama railroad and in the harbors at each end.
 There is reason to believe that this au- thority of power, though in the view of the state department the United States and Colombia, strictly within the limits of the treaty between the United States and Colombia, by which the former guarantees free traffic across the isthmus is viewed by Colombia with growing ap- prehension. Such an event as that record ed yesterday for instance, Tn winch Ad- miral Casey challenged the papers of the Colombian warship Bogota, boat ac- o,ired in the United States for use by the Colombia government. is regarded by the Colombians as a direct assertion of limited States sovereignty, which they cannot allow to go without protests. Therefore there is reason to believe that this last Colombian note, respecting the canal agreement which might in itself afford the necessary means for a com plete agreement between the two cour- tries is being delayed in presentation in order that the colonial government at Bogota may have an opportunity to quail ify 1t or even withhold 1t entirely on ac- count of the recent developments which has been distaseful to them.

MANY MINERS ExHUMED.
At Last Accounts the Men Had Not
 Been Rescued.

Mexico City, October 2S.-A shocking accident to miners occurred in one of the mines near Santa Maria de la Pas on Sat- .urday. A number of miners were working at the bottom of shaft when many tons of earth caved in, choking the shaft at some distance from the bottom. Relief parties went instantly fo work, and stim- ulated by the noise made by the impris- oned men in the shaft, worked rapidly for hours. Sunday night tapping noise, made by the miners inside, could be heard and relief work was pushed with all pos sible speed. The wives and children Of the imprisoned men were grouped around the top of the shaft waiting and weeping.
 At last accounts the men had not been rescued and there is a bare hope that they have excavated holes for themselves where they can take refuge when the re- maining earth falls down into the shaft. If this occurs, there is small probability of all escaping. It is considered still pos sible the men have not all suffocated.
