ing that he hoped some day to go to
hell to preach redemption to lost
souls" DR.. William D. Gay, a prom
inent Alabama minister, announces
that he has become disciple Of John
Alexander Dowie. DR.. Gay, who is
now 40 years old, was for fifteen years
a Baptist preacher and has been twice
around the world. - He said that he
was en- route to New York to join 'the
restoration host headed by DR.. Dowie.
Does your sect regard Dowie as a
divine creature?" DR.. Gay was asked.
NO. he replied. We believe,
however, that he Is invested with
Elijah's spirit and inspiration. Mr.
Dowie himself says he recognizes his
fallibility. Mainly, we do not believe
in an eternal hell. We believe men
die and are lost, but not hopelessly.
God, we think, sends evangelists of life
to hell and if am good enough / hope

TRAINS CRASH
MANY KILLED.
Disastrous Rear-End Collision on
Pennsylvania Road Results
in Many Deaths.
Victims Were italian Worlnnen on
Their Way to Repair Flood
Damage.

Trenton, N. j., Oct. 17.-Fifteen per-
sons were killed and about forty more
injured in a collision which occurred
to-day on the Belvidere division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company near
washington Crossing. They were Ia
at Washington Crossing to repair
washouts along the road. Fourteen
bodies have been taken from the wreck
and one more body is known to be
under the debris. Only two or three
Of those who are injured will be per-
manently MANNED.
AS soon as the collision occurred, a
special train was sent from Trenton
with corps of physicians, and the
dead and injured were brought to this
city, The injured We're taken to st.
Francis hospital. The dead men, with
one or two exceptions, are Italian Ia
borers who resided in this city, the
others being colored men,. Their
bodies were taken to the morgue for
Identification.
The train bearing the men who were
killed and injured was made up of
four cars, two coaches in which the
men were riding and two fiat cars in
the rear. The train stopped near
Washington Crossing to receive or
ders respecting the passing of the reg
ular passenger train. While the train
was standing on the track it was run
into from the rear by a gravel train
The two fiat cars telescoped the
two coaches. There were about $50
men IN the two cars. AS soon as the
accident happened, the Italians be-
came frantic and made an attempt
to do bodily harm to the crew of the
gravel train. Word was sent for DO
lice assistance from Trenton, but the
men were finally quieted by the fore
man.
The railroad authorities here are
reticent as to how the accident oc.
Cured, but 1t is believed that the
gravel train either failed to see any
adverse signal or that the fagman OF
the first train failed to go back 9
sufficient distance.

nouncing the decision of the Alaska
boundary commission was the first In
timation received by the state depart
ment that the commission had reached
an agreement.
Attic the bulletin is exceedingly
brief, state department officials say
that it shows distinct victory for the

the effect of the decision regarding
the Portland canal merely gives to
Canada the possession Of Pearse

canal and of no special Importance.
This detail Of the controversy is adj

to have been open to argument on

FAMINE THREATENS
Heavy Shows and Rigorous Frosts
in Northern Sweden Cause
b Much Loss.

Stockholm, Oct. 17.-Heavy snow
storms in northern Sweden have buried
the barley which was cut and spread
out to dry. Rigorous frosts have dam
aged the potato crop.
In many parts of the provinces OF
western Norrland, Jemtland, Wester-
botten and Norrbotten the snow is
three feet deep. The racks on which
the grain is hung up to dry have been
blown down and the grain scattered
by the wind. In parishes near the
great peat bogs the destruction Of both
grain and potatoes is complete Agr1-
cultural authorities predict that even
II there should be no famine, there
will at least be very trying scarcity
of food during the coming winter.

plan has been carried along in secret
for an entire week until by this time
almost enough support has been Sc
cured to insure it's success. .e>
J It is proposed to abolish the old
single standard Of No. northern
wheat, and make No. 2 northern de-
liverable on contract at a fixed differ
ential.;
An Explosion.
This morning the millers found out
what was going on and there was an
explosion. The proposition strikes at
the heart Of the milling business To
abolish the rule compelling delivery Of
No. J. northern on contract would
place the millers in a position where
they could never depend upon future
wheat supplies. The payment Of 5
cents. a bushel difference would in no
way help matters. It would put the
milling industry absolutely at the
mercy Of the elevators and the millers
say they will fight the proposition to
the death-that they will defeat it by
any means and that in the event Of
it's passage they will withdraw from
the option market entirely to the great
injury Of the chamber and Of Mime
apolis.
Meanwhile the plan has quietly been
pushed along and a number Of eleva-
tor companies of wealth and promi-
nence have backed it.
Elevator Companies Position.
The elevator. contention is that No.
northern is becoming obsolete as a
contract grade, that there is SO little
of it that 1t should give way to No. Q,
and the present movement, which car
ries ten cars off grade to one of No.
/ northern is pointed to as confirma-
ton. Elevator men who buy cash
wheat dare not go in the pit and
hedge" in the new options, for some
outsider may get control Of the No. 1
and Squeeze them at maturity of
contracts. The hedging" business,
they claim, would flourish under the
new plan.
Somebody Caught.
The millers scott at this. It has
been: bad year in the northwest.
Not only is the wheat crop under the
average, but the long continued rains
have lowered the quality greatly Ele-
vator men would naturally like to
make good with this inferior wheat,
and the prime mover in the new plan,
lone of the most prominent elevator
tmen in the city, has placed himself in
Tposition where, Justly or not, the in
Terence has been drawn that he has
sold No. northern which he will not
/ be able to deliver profitably under
present conditions.
The officers of the chamber are
| fighting shy of the controversy and
President Marshall is noncommittal,
but it is believed that he is against 1t
land on the side Of the millers.

WHAT THE DIFFERENCE COST.
Main street viii Pay $4,000 Per
Year With fO.lneh pipe.

Year With fo-lneh Pipe.
In order for Ardmore to become a
city Of the first class, from an insur-
ance standpoint, she must have a wat
erworks with a 12-inch pipe on her
main street She must have a full
paid fire department, paved streets
and an electric fire and alarm system.
II Ardmore had all these things she
would be entitled to 25 per cent
lower rate of insurance than she
would receive II any OF these requis.
ties were lacking.
II is estimated that $500 would put
in a fire alarm system that would
cover the fire limits, which would nx
that part Of it. The putting on Of a
couple or three more men on the fire
department would meet that require
ment, and having all the other re-
quirements, whuch costs but a little,
the still further % per cent reduction
would be a great incentive 60 the
people TO put in the paved streets, and
by having a city of the first class
we are reliably informed, that the peo-
pie on Main street could insure for
full value and collect IL. Without a
first class city our insurance would
be raised two ways; one in a 20 per
cent raise and the other In allowing
only three.fourths OF the property's
value being insured.
But would there be any inducement
to them TO put in paved streets II
they got no further reduction in their
insurance rates? Certainly not. But
when they could figure out to them
selves that the reduction of their In
surance for three years would pay for
the paving Of the streets they would
not be slow in getting at It and put
ting in an asphaltum street.
Just think of $4,000 in cold hard
money that would have to be paid
for insurance on Main street every
year which could have been saved
had that Pinch pipe been put down
on Main street.
