AFTER DUE CONSIDERATION
The Committee Expects to Receive
a Definite Answer From
DR.. Bratton.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, May 1.-The committee ap-
pointed by the diocesan council yester-
day to notify DR.. Bratton of Raleigh,
N, c., of his selection as bishop of
Mississippi does not expect TO receive
a final answer from him for perhaps a
week. A mere response acknowledge
ing the receipt of the notification
will be received soon, to be followed
by definite answer as to acceptance
of the offer only after the distinguish
ed divine has had an opportunity to
consider it in all of its phases. The
prevailing opinion is that DR.. Bratton
will accept the place.
The bishopric of Mississippi is not
so desirable as some of the others, a
fact which readily accounts for the
of securing bishop. The
salary is $4,000 per annum and the
work is said to be very difficult and
wearing, requiring good deal of rail
road travel and much absence from
home.

Fatal Results.

Holidaysburg, Pa, April 30.-The

ries of the American Wire and Nail
Company, where 500 men are en-
ployed. These quarries have been
deserted.
In the magazine and store house of
the factory are 400 blocks of explo-
sives, and it is feared the greatest ex-
plosions are yet to come. The Piney
Greek branch of the Pennsylvania road
runs past the factory, and because of
the danger the company has refused
to allow any trains to pass over this
branch. Fourteen men and sixteen
women were employed in the factory
