torman Yandall failed to obey the or

from the siding, Yandall endeavored
to jump, but was crushed in the tele-
scoped cars and died.
Motorman C. D. Golden applied his
air brakes as soon as he saw the
danger, the collision occurring on a
curve, and then tried to jump, as did
Linwood Fentress, a son of r. B. Fen
tress, president Of the Norfolk Cold
Storage and Ice Co. Both Golden and
young Fentress were caught under
the platform of the shore-Dound car,
which piled up on the other, and were
killed outright. Colden's head was
almost torn from his body and both
legs We're cut off. The Fentress boy
was crushed to death. Both cars
were full Of Sunday excursionists, and
few escaped injuries
Mr.. r. P. Waller, brother Of Maj.
L. w. T. Waller, was on one of the
cars and sustained serious injuries.
People who were near the front Of
the shore-bound car state that Motor
man Yandell was talking with a
young woman, who was standing on
the front platform when the crash
came. After the crash this woman
was removed in an unconscious condi-
ton from beneath the motorman's
body.

NJ. Fisk, who recently resigned the pas
torate of the First Congregational
church to take up the duties of field
secretary for Washburn college.
The resignation was rendered by let
ter as Rev. Mcfarland is out of the
city Dr. Mcfarland said that in view
of the recent action of the Ministerial
union in refusing to approve of the res
olutionS presented by himself commend
ing the work of DR.. Fisk, he felt him
self called upon to sever his connection
with the organization. The exact Ian
guage of the letter could not be learned,
Acting Secretary H. A. OFT refused to
allow a reporter for the State Journal
to read it. The only explanation of his
action was that i've got it in for the
Journal, and I'm taking this way to get
even"
The resignation was not accepted to-
day motion to postpone action on the
matter was carried. The members of
the Ministerial union felt that DR.. Nc
Farland'S wounded feelings might be
healed by the information of the pass
age of a resolution covering the same
points as did his own, prepared by Rev.
M. F. Mckirahan and presented to the
Ministerial union this morning through
the resolution committee, of which Rev.
j. d. COuntermine is chairman. DIR.
Countermine read the resolution. 1t
follows:
Whereas, Two of our brethren have
gone out from the pastorate to engage
in special work of very great import
ance to the advancement of the king
dom of Christ, to wit. Rev. F. W. Emer
son in the temperance work, and Rev.
d. NJ. Fisk, d. D., as field secretary for
Washburn college,
Resolved, That we cordially COM
mend these brethren to the good people
of the state and beSpeak for them an
enthusiastic reception, a patient hearing
and a hearty support
Frank Hoyes, a retired minister, in
sisted that the resignation be not ac-
cepted. He urged the fact that he
thought the Ministerial Union was at
fault for not adopting the Mcfarland
resolution. He said he believed DR.. Nc
Farland, when he announced that he
introduced the resolution the same as
he would had any other minister made
a change and left the pastorate of a
Topeka church, and just the same If
the FiSk-Countermine controversy had
not been agitating the minds of the peo-
pie, and that he did not submit it as a
slap at DR.. Countern inc. 1T was the
newspapers that gave it that tinge,"
said Mr.. HoyeS.
Il think that DIR. Countermine is to
blame for this trouble" said Mr.. Hoyes,
SlappinS DR.. COuntermine on the back.
Il believe this trouble is the outgrowth
of the feeling that was stirred up when
DIR. Coun termine preached hasty SER
mon in reply to the sermon preached by
President Murlin of Baker university
condemning those who made fun of peo-
pie for praying for rain. L listened to
President Murln's sermon, and I con-
slider that it was one of the best ever
heard. I think DIR. Countermine was
haSty in taking exception to it"
The Ministerial Union also adopted a
resolution this morning urging people
who were giving both public and pri-
tions, to refrain from using Thursday
nights, IN order so as not TO conflict
with the regular weekly prayer meet
ings held on Thursday nights.

PRINCES TRIP OVER.
Passed Much of His Time in
His Own Rooms.

Plymouth, Eng, March 17.-Prince
Henry was on the bridge when the
Deutschland entered this harbor and he
waved a cheerful greeting, to the Ger
man naval attache, Capt. Keeper, and
other friends who went out to the
steamer on the company's tender.
The DeutSchland's voyage was pleas
ant and uneventful.
During the first few days the prince
was tired out and mixed but little with
the other passengers. He dined with his
suite at a separate table in the general
salon but otherwise he passed the time
on the bridge or in his own rooms. Dur
ing the latter part of the voyage, how
ever, the prince appeared frequently on
the promenade deck and talked freely
and pleasantly with his fellow passen-
gers as he did on the outward trip.
The passengers speak in the highest
terms of Prince Henry's affability to all.
The German consul here, Herr Fox,
delivered to the prince a number of
kilograms and letters, including a mes
sage of welcome from Emperor Will
liam.
Prince Henry said to Herr Fox:
I have had a charming time and
geographically have seen a third of the
United States. 1 am glad, of course. to
get home"
Vice Admiral Won Seckendorff, the
court marshal. said to a representative
of the Associated Press: I'VE made %
knots an hour and had fine weather all
the way The prince enjoyed his trip
and is now keenly anxious to see his
family and the eTnDerOr.''

ried to a man named Palmer.
Three weeks ago today, Hodges and
his sister, Mrs. Hendrickson, left To-
peka and a few days later, the deserted
wife received a letter mailed on a Kan
sas City and Denver train. enclosing
draft for $780, an amount equal to that
which he had borrowed from her before
they We're married nine years ago TO
apply on a payment the farm on
which they had lived. Mrs. Hodges
father, George Horning, sr., also re-
ceived a draft in payment of $1,1OO
loan he had made to Hodges. Mrs.
Hodges has awaited in vain for his re-
turn.
The letter was brief and gave no
trace of where Hodges intended locating
nor gave any reason for his action in
deSerting his wife. He simply said: Il
take this way of quitting. What makes
the affair so unaccountable is that fact
that Mr.. and Mrs. Hodges had lived to-
gether for nine years and their married
life appeared perfectly congenial.
Hodges gave no intimation of his con-
templated action to his wife, and in
fact conspired to have her in Topeka
when he left. He had agreed to meet
Mrs. Hodges in Topeka to return home
with her three weeks ago Sunday, but
when he did not appear, Mrs Hodges
took it for granted that something had
turned up to prevent his meeting her
