rings in the tower, at which the
tower director proceeds forthwith

CARRIES HAT IN HAND.

There is a man in Macon, Mo-,

along the route, and to-day he is
one Of the prominent lawyers Of

Two men made a wager on Mr..

ST. sERApHIN OF sARoFF.
Russia's New Saint and Ceremonies
At his canoniIation.

AINIAA > ANM 9AAlN AM
At bis canoniIation.
A most profound impression
upon the Russian people is said
to have been produced by the par
tioipation of the car and grand
dukes in the stately removal OF
the relics Of st. Seraphin from
their temporary resting place in
one of the churches of the monas-
terry to the new marble tomb in
which they are now permanently
enshrined in the Uspensky ca
thedral at Saroff, says the London
Times. His majesty and his i'm
perial relatives all assisted in car
rying the cedar wood coffin
through the vast crowds of kneel-
ing and ecstatic worshipers, and
they formed the central group at
all the elaborate services, and in
the procession of gorgeously ap-
parelel clergy and chOristers out
side the churches. The rich vest
ments covered with gold and sill
yer embroidery, which were worn
by the metropolitan of st. Peters
burg, the bishops and other priest
" dignitaries present, were the
gift of the ear for this particu-
lar occasion.
The newly created saint was a
merchants son from Kursk, who
lived some 80 years ago after hav-
ing led the austere life of a relig-
ious recluse at Saroff. Besides
ready help given to human kind,
tradition says that he used to feed
the bears in the adjacent forest
where these animals have ever
since been held free from pursuit
in consequence. He wore sandals
of birch bark, and was noted for
the simplicity and purity of his
life, which is now contrasted in
the newspapers with the imperial
and ecclesiastical pOmp in the
midst of which his remains have
Just been sanctifed. The other
principal objects of interest and
veneration are a stone, very much
worn by the kneeling of the saint
at prayers, and a spring from
which he drew water, and at which
cases of miraculous healing are
now said to be of daily occur.

the spirited fight for the senatorial nomina-

aspirants have stumped almost every
county in the State. The race for Governor

CAR STRUCK AUTOMOBILE
TWO WOMEN THROWN FROM We
HICLE AND INJURED.
Mrs. Beaupre, Who Secured $4,000 for
Previous Street-Car Injuries, One
of Those Hurt.

Mrs. Beaupre, - South Senate avenue,
and Miss Glenrose Williams, 81 South Sem
ate avenue, while out riding in an auto
mobile last night, were struck by Blake
street car at West and Washington streets
and thrown from their vehicle to the pave
ment. Both women were seriously bruised
and suffered from scalp wounds, but neither
was badly injured.
Mrs. Beaupre, who was driving the auto
mobile, stated that she turned out of the
way of a wagon and was struck by the car,
but declared that she did not know the
car was approaching and the motorman
did not ring his bell, she said. The auto
mobile was badly damaged and thrown sew
eral feet from the track. The City Dis
pensary ambulance, in charge of DR.. JEFF
fries, removed both Of the women TO their
homes.
Mrs. Beaupre has been unfortunate in her
experiences with the city street cars. Some
time ago she was run down by car and
very severely injured. She sued the COM
pany for damages, and was awarded $1,000
by the court, and with a part of this money
she bought the automobile which was
wrecked by the street car last night, it is
said.

ton of the defense. challenging the jury
panel which yesterday was Professionally
accepted. The motion was supported by
the affidavit of Thomas G. Valley, alleging
that of the ninety-five jurors only two were
Republicans, and that Deputies Lusby and
Rogers. in impaneling the jurors, had been
accompanied and directed by William
Burke and Joseph Williams, both we'll
known Democratic workers" who assisted
them and who caused discrimination In the
selection of the jurors. The ground for
overruling the motion was that political

jury service at law.
A jury was obtained at o'clock this
evening. This was not accomplished until
the counsel for the defense had used their
quota of peremptory challenges and five
complete panels had been broken. The jury
as seated consists OF eleven Democrats and
one Republican. Eleven jurors are farm

MISSING STUDENT SEEN
ALBERT PATTERSON PROBABLY IN
MONTREAL MONTH AGO.
Young Man Who Disappeared from
Ann Arbor-His Bills Paid by a
Greencastle Woman.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANN ARBOR, Mich, Aug. ga dispatch
has been received here by the local papers
saying that Miss Emma Beckwith, Of Green
castle, Ind, who knew Albert Patterson,
the Indiana senior medic who disappeared
so mysteriously from Ann Arbor just before
commencement week, believes he is alive
and well, and thinks she saw him in Mont
real a month ago.
The statement has aroused much interest
here, as every one believes he is alive, and
the letter which he left signed Maxine" "
in which he stated that he was being fol-
lowed by a secret Mexican society because
of secrets he learned while in Texas, was
only blind BY an analysis it was found
the hat was not bloody. but colored by red
ink. 1t was reported that he was engaged
TO two young women at the time.
What seems TO give truth TO Miss Beck
with's statement is that two or three weeks
ago young woman appeared in Ann Arbor
from Greencastle and paid all the bills left
by Patterson and took his belongings from
the city. IL being understood she was taking
steps 10 trace him. She gave what was
thought to he an assumed name. She was
not the medical student to whom he was
engaged. The question asked here is what
Greencastle young woman u interested
enough to pay his bills?

LOSES RACE With DEATH
HENRY LOWE FAILS TO REACH Los
ANGELES IN TIME.
Daughter Dies While His $4,000 Spe-
cial Train Is Speeding Across
Kansas Prairies.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 6.-Mary
Lowe, the fifteen-year-old daughter of Hen
ry Lowe, chief of the engineering depart
ment of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, who is speeding across the continent
in special train, died at hotel here last
night. Mr.. Lowe started from New York
on the Twentieth Century limited on the
Lake Shore road Tuesday afternoon, and
in the hope of reaching Los Angeles while
his daughter was yet alive, chartered a
special train from Chicago on the Santa Fe
road at an expense of nearly $4,000. When
death came to the child Mr.. Lowe was
passing through western Kansas.
The special train Is breaking all trans
continental records. The schedule as ar
ranged called for a run between Chicago
and Los Angeles, 2,265 miles, in sixty-one
hours. Up to 5:45 o'clock tonight, wher
the special reached Albuquerque, two and
one-half hours had been gained. If the
same ratio is gained for the remainder OF
the journey the special ought to cover the
distance between Los Angeles and Chicago
in about fifty-six hours. The record fol
the run between Los Angeles and Chicago
eastbound is held by the Peacock special
which, in March, 1900. made the distance IL
fifty-seven hours and fifty-six minutes.
