Fayette. Miss, Oct. 4.-One of the
heaviest criminal dockets in the list
of the circuit court sessions in Mis-
sissippi for several months Will be
called for hearing in Jefferson coun.
ty ut a special oourt term to be con
vened by Judge Truly on the 3oth of
October. Two weeks will be devoted
entirely to criminal business, and in
the list of prisoners are five negroes
accused of murder in the Cannons-
burg neighborhood about four months
ago. The negroes have been in Jail at
Vickburg since their capture, and the
proecution feel confident that q strong
array OF evidence secured will result IN
hoir conviction.
Judge Truly has openad a war on
the pistol toters in his district and
will have something to say on the sub.
ject in lis charge to the jefferson
county grand jury. 1t is a fact not
generally known that tho statutes
make it a crime for any boy under
sixteen years of age to own q pistol,
or for, any student in a university, COL
lege or school to have o weapon in
his possession, and Judge Truly pro-
poses to make a material reduction in
the number of pistol toters by going
after the youngsters who are guilty
of the practice.

THE CONFERENCE
WAS A FAILURE
OPERATORS ARROGANT; MIN
Frs REASONABLE.
SPECIAL SESSION
President May Assemble Congress
or Pennsylvania Laws invok-
ed Against Operators.

Washington, Dot. A-The confer
enoe between the coal operators strike
leaders called by President Roosevelt
was In session yesterday afternoon
from three until four O'Clock.
It was announced at the White
house last night that the President
had no comment to make ON the on.
ference.
The failure OF the conference now
becomes a ource OF grave embarrass-
ment to the administration as the
President realizes there can be no
back ward step without endangering
the Republican party's chances in
1904. An important conference was
held late last night at the Arlington
hotel bet the coal operators, and
secretary Root, acting for tho Presi-
dent. 1t is believed today that If no
agreement Is reached, President
Roosevelt will call an extra session OF
Congress.
Washington Oot., 4.-President
Roosevelt hos summoned Gov. Stone
Of Pennsylvania and Senator Quay.
for q conference. Having failed to
get concert Of operators and coal strik-
ers he will invoke the laws Of Penn
sylvania. Tho statutes Of the State
prohibit the coal carrying roads from
mining Anthracite. Their violation Of
these provisions will form the basis
of action against tho obstinate mag
mates.

LIGHTNING SENT
DEATH NEAR HIM
HAND OF PROVIDENCE SAVED
OLD DARKEY.
HORSE AND HOG KILLED
One on Each Side of the Old Man
Were Struck Dead by
Lightning.

Meridian. Miss, Oct. 4.-Tho Pross
says: Yesterday shortly after the
noon hour and daring the terrific
thunder. tightening and rain storm
that visited this city and section, an
other remarkable story was added to
the long list OF peculiar and fatal 40
cidants heretofore ohronicled as q re-
suit Of a bolt of lightning.
An old negro tenant on a place in the
northern part OF the city belonging
to Hon. +. v. Brahan was ut work
in his stable when the distant rumble
of thunder in the southwest
ed the approach of the storm. The old
darkey PAID nc particular at attention to
the warning sounded by the elements,
continued tho work at which he was
engaged. Suddenly the whip-like
crash of oolliding clouds, seemingly
just above the roof that covered the
old mans head, caused him to straigh.
ten his bending form and loan, tremb-
ling. OH the handle Of the shovel with
which he was working.
AS the old man stopped work he was
standing in the center Of the little
stable, his horse five feet to his right
and his hog to his left. Before he
could overcome the fright caused by
the first clap of thunder, o binding
fash illuminated the stable. and the old
darkey saw his horse fall to tho
ground, stricken dead without q sound,
and while the deadly bolt from the
heaven above was playing oyer the
ground near the old mans feet he
said he fed from the stable and into
his house, where he remained for SOW
eral moments before he could collect
his scattered wits sufficiently to make
q statement to his aged wife, who,
too, was almost scared to donth.
Finally, as the rain came down In
binding sheets II tho lightning
ceased, the old nan told his wife of
the calamity thai had befallen them
in the death of their horse. He wa
asked about the safety OF the hog, and
replied.
'Fo' God, I dun fnsgot bout dat
sowi"
His wife urged an immediate invos-
tigation, and together thoy repaired to
and, to their horror. they
found that the hog, too, had met the
same fate as tho horse.
The death of both horse and hog and
the safety Of the owner displayed a
most luoid illustration Of the handi-
work Of Providence. as it will BIO re-
membered that tho old mar was stand
ing half way between the two when
the fatal bolt made it's appearance.

Holly Contested Game of Base Ball
on Duffy's Field,

There was very interesting and
hotly contested game of base ball on
Du2y's field, when the new Carbondale
team, under the management Of Thom-
as Higgins, defeated the Crescents, by
a score of 10 to 6. The game was full
of fast plays The Crescents played
good ball, but lacked two regular play
ers, Murray and Markey. AL. McCabe,
who took the place of one Of the play
ers. put up a very good game. McHale
made a brilliant one-hand catch at
shortstop in the second inning. Cuff
also made very good catch in left
field. Flannery, the new catcher for
the Crescents, is certainly cracker
jack, for he caught everything that
came his way and his batting was be-
yond reproach. McAndrew played a
fast game and. excepting one or two
wild pitches. pitched good ball.
Smith made a few wild throws while
he was in the box, but pitched a good
game. Monahan played a good game
at shortstop. Fleming, playing third
base. made a nice running catch. Hull
played a good game at center, getting
under all the flys that came his way.
The lineup was as follows:

HIS uTrERANcEs COMMENDED.
Rev. T. Ehinger Discusses the Talk
Of Rev. Thomas Payne, of scran-

OF 0eV. 1uOIldS 1dyAe, Va SSAoA
ton.
Rev. Thomas e. Payne's letter in
Mondays Tribune is of Importance,
well worthy to be considered by ALL but
especially by ministers of the gospel,
whatever denomination they belong to.
The closing part of his letter hits the
nail on the point. Why the people take
in their own hands to solve the social
question and the arguments for it in
the closing part are of a striking and
irresistible force. In short, the minis
ters don't seek first the kingdom of
heaven, as their Master instructed
their disciples (Matthew, vi:35), but to
seek after the best paid charges and to
dwell in the finest tiled Darsonages.
The church of Christ, of course, has
the prerogatiye in the first instance to
solve the grave social question, as she
did in the first century of Christianity,
when on the ruins Of the corrupt
Roman empire the apostolic church of
God was built upon the rock Of ages
Jesus Christ. This ferment of true
Christian love and self-denial is the
only remedy for our social evils, called
Josephs afflictions-Amos, CSC.
II the hard-working people now heal
from the pulpit words showing the cold
shoulder to their grievances, and know
ing the fact that the incumbents Of
these pulpits themselves make every
effort to better themselves, often to lux
ury-not to speak of a Dio2enes dwell
ing house or John the Eaptist's raiment
and !ocust-meat est. Matthew, iii:4)--
can those hearers be impressed by
EaranGucs and travesties of this kind?
Why not preach the gospel as a conso-
lation for the poor and afflicted ones?
$50 more and more the luxurious,
fashionable churches are perverted into
every kind of theatrical temporals,
Cesecrating the House of God, to the
Getestation. of every thinking man, l
Will not say a Christian worshipper.
Much more in store. but satisfied for
now.
