STREET CARS COLLIDE
AT SEVEN CORNERS
Selby Avenue Car Is Struck by a Car
on Seventh Street.

A street car collision in which the
passengers on three cars were badly
shaken UP and frightened, and con-,
siderable damage done to the rolling
stock, occurred at Seventh and Fourth
streets yesterday morning.
One of the large cars on the Grand
avenue line was bowling along at
rapid speed on Seventh street. Just
ahead of the Grand avenue car were
two of the small cars which are used
on the Fort Smelling line. The rule
of the company is that all cars on the
Seventh street line must stop at the
crossing of the Selby avenue line, the
cars on the hill line having the right
of way.
The motoneer In charge of the Fort
Smelling car and trailer brought his
train to stop, in order to allow a Sell
by car going west to pass. The mo-
toneer on the Grand avenue car failed
to reduce the speed Of his car, or put
On the brakes, and collided with the
trailer, throwing it from the track.
The force of the collision drove the
other Fort Smelling car into the Sell
by avenue car, which was passing, and
for few seconds there was great ex-
element among the passengers Of the
three cars.
Fortunately none of the passengers
was seriously injured, although sew
eral on the Selby avenue car were
struck by broken glass.
The motoneer Of the Grand avenue
car claims he was unable to stop, ow-

that the commission paid to agents for
securing insurance was too heavy, and
a number of companies engaged in
this line of insurance paid no losses,
but did pay commission to agents One
company in the state had losses of
$4,000, and paid but 10 per cent OF
them, but did pay $4,000 as commits
He suggested that q certain num-
Der of applicants should be required
before a company was allowed to do
business, and that a portion of the
premium should either be paid in cash
when the policy was written or a note
given for the premium.
The plan of waiting until the season
was over and then making an assess
ment to cover the losses was a Door
one, as those who had sustained no
loss, as rule, objected to paying the
assessment. Unless the companies
could protect the farmers and the bust
ness was put on practical basis, hail
insurance companies would always be
unsatisfactory.
The report of the secretary of the
company showed 8, 430 policies in force
and total insurance of $1,765,266 dur
ing 1902. There were 1923 new policies
written during the year covering $685.
1874 in risks. During the year 1899
policies calling for s584.270 ceased.
The loss claims presented number
ed 1860, and the amount involved was
$123,O3S.87. OF these 1874 had been
paid on the basis of so per cent of the
amount, involving an expenditure Of
$5S,328.02. The losses adjusted but not
paid amounted to $64,710.87.
An attempt was made to have an
assessment of per cent called for this
year to make up the deficiency, but
this was voted down. The secretary
explained that the losses during the
year were about $4,000 more than the
assessments. Eighty per cent Of the
assessments had been paid, and 80
per cent Of this had been paid back
to the farmers.

DEFENDS DISCIPLINE
OF CATHOLIC CHURCH
Father Conway Explains Why Rules
for Churchgoers Are Made.

In the lecture delivered last evening
at the non-Cathohc mission Father
Conway stated his reasons for saying
that he could not consistently approve
Of the members Of his congregation at
tending the services Of a Protest ant
church.
: Non-Catholics. he said. admitted that
their faith and religion was fallible-
how, then, could a Catholic, who be-
heved his to be infallible, attend a
worship he knew to be false.
He answered, in the course of his
lectures, the following questions:
II you are broad-minded and liberal
enough to invite US Protestants to come
10 your services, why, in your bigotry
and in tolerance, deny Catholics the lib
erty of coming to ours?
For what reason does priest forbid
Catholics to attend non-Catholic church
both sides?"
He said: "Protestants are invited by
US to listen to the explanation of Catholic
doctrine and the answers to their difficult
ties, because we know that they can at
tend without violating any principle of
falllble, private opinion. Disclaimfng In
fall1bility. logical Protestant must neces-
sar1ly be in the attitude Of a seeker after
truth. He usually says that one church is
divine witness to the unique Christianity
Jesus founded.
"a logical Protestant must ever be in
the state Of chronic doubt; a Catholic
never has the slightest doubt. A logical
Protestant Is ever seeker after truth;
Catholic has found it, and therefore is
under no necessity Of further search
Catholics, therefore, could not with
out violating the essential principles OF
Christianity attend religious services they
know to be false, or listen to preaching
they know on divine authority to be con-
trary to the gospel Of Christ
Practically, the Catholic church, hav-
ing uniform faith. can satisfactorily ex-
plain her teaching to the world. but
Professionalism, divided into numberless
sects, would find it impossible to explain
what she protests against
Imagine, for instance, the Episcopal
church attempting to give a series of
lectures explanatory of her teachings and
the three lecturers are severally high
church. low church. and broad Each
man would deny in turn what the other
held was the gospel of Christ.
AS for studying both sides, a Protestant
Is bound to do SO, like the scientist In
face of an improved hypothesis, he cannot
be fnfallibly sure that his theory is right.
Catholic, has no Eaore need to study
than the scientist, with proved and tested
facts, is obliged to go over the groun'
Of his predecessors. His faith rests on
Gods authority, not on mans, and, there
fore. he cannot be deceived"

BLIND PIGS RUN
In THE COUNTRY
Three Of Them Are Said to
Be Doing Business in
Ramsey County.

Common report credits Ramsey
county with three saloons located in
unineorporated districts. yet the books

license In two years. Mr.. Krahmer says
that no applications have been made
as far as he knows.
A badge labeled county license in
spector" is in the possession of Chief
Clerk Drummond, but as the last in
spector resigned his job none has been
appointed since.
A country license costs $500, and it
the county had the revenue from
those that are known to be in exist
ence a handsome addition would be
made to the road and bridge fund.
Chief Clerk Drummond says the ex-
istence of those blind pigs has not
been brought to the attention Of the
county board, but he is sure they would
act if complaint was made. He says
there are several saloons located III
the villages throughout the county, but
they pay the fee direct to the village

ant avenue, where the children are

Threatens to Poison Children.
The relief society has made an eff
fort to have the two boys sent to an
orphan asylum, but the mother refuses
to part with them, declaring that If
any effort is made to take them from
her she will poison the children. More
over, Judge Bazille refuses to COM
NIT them to an asylum unless the
mother gives her consent.
Mr.. Stohr, a member of the execu-
tive committee, presented the case to
the society yesterday at it's annual
meeting held in Relief hall. Unless
something is done for the children, he
declared, they would grow up to be
paupers, and possibly criminals. One
Of the boys is eleven years old, but
shows no disposition to work. Mr..
Stohr suggested that perhaps If her
source of supplies was shut off, the
woman might consent to give up the
children for a time.
D. r. Moves, who was present at
the meeting yesterday, said he thought
this would be an unwise thing to do,
as it might incite the mother to harm
tee was finally instructed to make an
other effort to induce Judge BaZille to
commit the children,
President Alexander Ramsey presid-
ed at yesterdays meeting. Mrs. T. L.
Blood, superintendent of the industrial
school of the relief society, reported
yesterday that the school had exhaust
ed its fund, and that unless $25 more
could be obtained the school would
not be able to allow the children to
keep the garments they had made.
The $25 was voted, and Mrs. Blood
and her assistant, Mrs. Gardner
Moore, were given a vote of thanks
for their efficient work.

Upon resolution it was decided to
hold annual and semi annual, instead
of quarterly meetings of the society
hereafter. All the officers and the

that If it were not for the coal fam

CHAMBERLAIN AFRAID
OF AMERICAN INVASION
Thinks Yankees May Dump Iron
Into England.

LONDON. Oct. s.-Continring his
fiscal campaign, Mr.. Chamberlain last
night addressed a meeting of 1000 per-
sons in the town hall of Greenock. a
seaport on the Clyde, twenty-five miles
from Glasgow.
The late colonial secretary said that
he was free trader and wanted to live
tremendously with his neighbors. but he
desired free exchange with all nations.
If they would not exchange he was not
a free trader at any price.
He asked why all protective nations
prospered more than the United King
dom. If the Cobdenites could satisfac-
torily answer he would ask TO hide his
diminished head. His occupation would
be gone.
Il warn you," said he, that within
two or three years you will have dumped
here 100000 tons of American iron.
and thousands of British workmen will
lose employment for the sole benefit of
American manufacturers and American
workmen."
Concluding his general restatement.
the speaker said that agriculture In
Great Britain was virtually destroyed.
the sugar trade was gone. the silk trade
was gone. the iron and wool industries
were threatened, and the same fate
would come to the cotton trade.
