that on one occasion the people all
begged the old preacher to appoint a
day Of fasting and prayer for rain. which
he did At the appointed time the house
was crowded with people. all anxious for

Bible, the good old brother prayed as

LONG DISPUTE OVER
GUN CARRIAGE ENDED
Ordnance Board Finally
Reaches an Agreement

The Board OF Ordnance and Fortifca-
tions at a recent meeting decided to rec
ommend to the Secretary of War that g
inch coast defense guns, as well as those
of larger caliber. be mounted on the
Buffington-Crozier disappearing gun car
riage- This recommendation has just
been approved By Secretary Root.
For the past two years there has been
a dispute between ordnance officers OF
the army in regard to the usefulness OF
the disappearing gun carriage. As a re
suit Of this internal disagreement Con
gress at its last session authorized the
appointment of d special board to look
into the question. As published several
weeks ago, this board recommended that
the disappearing carr ye be used to
gether with the barberse carriage for
mounting guns above six inches in cali
Der. It was thought by tie board that
inasmuch as 5-inch guns are of the
rapid firing type it would be better to
mount them zen barbette."
The Board Of Ordnance and Fortifca-
lions Of which General Gillespie is acting
president in the absence CT General
Niles, in recommending that 6-inch
guns be mounted on the disappearing
carriages, took into consideration t1e
fact that this type Of gun is now cor-
sidered as a paFt CT the main battery of
a seacoast fertilization and that -

CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT
OF ST. PETERSBURG
Right of Electing Mayor Ia
ken From City Council.

ST PETERSBURG, Oct. 31--It is re-
ported that the government intends TO
deprive the city council Of the right OF
electing mayor, and to substitute a
government official with extensive pows
ers for representative head OF the
city
The 'Novoe yremya' protests strong
" against such action. It points out
that the capital has had an elective chief
since the days Of Catherine II. The
paper says that to withdraw this right
conferred long ago. would be to disre-
gard the unanimous. wishes OF the citi-
zens and would be calculated to create
a feeling of fnsincerity and discourage
people from taking an interest in muni
cipal affairs.
The paper predicts that the appoint
ment Of an official city head would lead
to endless chickering's between the nomi-
nee Of the gFTernment and the council,
which is cleo ed by the citizens. The
dispatch adds that the whole question
Of the municipal organization is at pres

HEAD END COLLISION.
One Dead and a Score Injured at
Sandy Hook Station.

Danbury. Corn, Oct. 10-One person
dead and over a score injured is the result
of a head-on collision on the Highland di-
vision of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad last night directly in
front of the station at Sandy Hook.
An excursion train of fourteen cars
crashed into the regular westbound train
standing in front of the station discharg-
ing passengers. The engines on both
trains were considerably damaged, but
the first car on the excursion train was
crushed and the inside. which was crowd
ed, was a mass of splinters. broken glass
and shrieking. wounded men and women.
Mamie Quinlan, of Naugatuck, aged 22,was
so seriously injured that she died a few
minutes later in the station. Hardly a
person in the car escaped injury.
Two of the injured passengers are in a
critical condition. Willie Hamm of Wa
terbury, received severe internal injuries
and his spine was injured. Richard Far
rar of Waterville had his left arm and leg
so badly crushed that it became necessary
to amputate these members.
The excursion train was in charge of
Engineer Edward Farrell. His fireman
was Lawrence Lillis. Both men jumped
from the train when it was seen that ar
accident was inevitable. In doing so LiIlis
was slightly injured. Farrell disappeared
after the accident and has not been seen
since.
