Rev. DR.. T. NJ. McWhinney. OF Munoie.
Ind, was speaking on the federation of
churches and the universal peace which
he hopes to see among the churches OF
the world and the nations, a white dove
few into the church, huttered about over
the heads of the assembled ministers OF
the American Christian Convention, and
settled over the speakers stand.
The incident was 80 appropriate to the
sentiment Of the address that it prompted
many fervent amens from the ministers.
and created a great deal Of enthusiasm
throughout the assembly. The conven-
ton will likely adjourn tomorrow at
ternoon.

begin its session here tomorrow. About
$50 delegates have arrived already. and
several hundred more are expected.
The Norfolk and Western Rai1oad
brought 5000 tons of coal here yesterday.
despite the law forbidding Sunday freight
traffic of anything but perishable freight.
The emergency IS SO great that the Off
Gals feel warranted In risking the In
fraction of the law. None has attempted
to stop the trains.
THE CRUSADE MOVEMENT.
The Sunday crusade movement brought
twenty-five or thirty innocent local crap
shooters in the Police Court this morning.
There were two benches. one white and

near Church, heer eleven white men
were found
The case against all the white men
charged with gambling was dismissed. ex-
cept c. E. Dawley. who was fined SO
and costs.
The negroes did not fare so we'll. They
were caught in the same neighborhood,
and the cases of ten were dismissed, but
three Of them We're fined $40 and costs
as follows: Louis Austin, George Austin.
James Hatcher.
ABLE TO PAY FINES
Hatcher came to the desk Immediately
after the sentence to pay s3G75, which
indicates that the game is profitable to
continue, even at the risk OF paying an
occasional fine.
There were no liquor cases ready. but
it is said that Mayor Riddick issued or.
ders' Saturday night to bring everybody,
because Of some barkeeper's remark to
the effect that he intended to sell liquor
in spite of the Mayor and the crusade.
That seems to be what the saloon keepers.
who are prepared for evading the police.
are doing.
A COMPLICATED CASE.
T. p. Morris, the attorney lately dis
barred here from practice in the courts,
appeared this morning as a witness in
the Law and Chancery Court. The case
is complicated, and the pleadings have
been changed. The status now is the suit
of Layall & Taylor as attorneys for their
fees and som former creditors Of Morris
in Texas. to whom he gave a note. He
alleges that It was part Of a payment
OF a debt of s25, 900 on which he has paid
$40 coo.
The property in question is an insur-
ance policy Of the German Alliance, which
F. Jacobs, a pawnbroker, alleges was as
signed to him for just debt for money
loaned. The property for which the pol
lev OF insurance was given burned ana
the company wishes to pay 1t to whom
soeyer it belongs. It is not willing to pay.
it to one or other Of the claimants, Lay
all & Taylor. who have an attachment,
or to F. Jacobs, who has an assignment,
without the protection of the court to
prevent the other from prosecuting an
equally probable claim.
The allegation OF Layall &, Taylor is
that the transaction between f. Jacobs
and Morris Is fictitious: that Jacobs has
no real claim. and that Morris was not
Indebted to him at all. The case occu-
MED the Law and Chancery Court all
morning.
