east of Bryantsville, and the Tow

ter are relatives of the Tow family
which participated In the famous
Tow.Bass feud, which formed abloody
record TOR Lawrence county and
Southern indiana.
A free gravel road election Is being
held here to-day and the village Of
800 is crowded. Farmers from the
surrounding country are gathered
and there has been considerable
drinking. Shortly before noon the
two Rout brothers drove into town In
a livery rig. The three Tow boys
were standing near each other In a
crowd In front of the the election
booth when the Rout boys drove past
and 1t was whispered at once that
trouble would follow.
Two weeks ago at social affair the
smoulderipg hostility between the
txo families had been rekindled by a
fancied insult to Charles Rout by a
Young woman who favored one OF
the Tow boys. Hostilities were avert
ed at the time. The Rout brothers
openly announced that they had come
to "even up things"
Within five minutes from the time
Of arriving In town the Rout boys
were seen approaching the booth.
The Tow brothers drew together and
after a whispered conversation OF a
few seconds stood about ten feet apart
awaiting the arrival of the Routs.
There Is a dispute as to whether
there we're any words before the
shooting began, and there Is also
doubt as to who fired the first shot,
but II seemed to be mutually recog-
nized that 1t was death battle. Each
of the Eve men drew revolver and
each side advanced, all firing. The
men we're not fifteen feet apart when
the firing had ceased, and on the
ground three lay dead, one dying with
a bullet hole through hts neck and
one still stood with bullet wound
through his arm and one In his side.
The crowd had scattered hastily
when the shooting began and none OF
the by-standers were struck, although
over twenty 1--WE shots were fired.
The wounded were taken to store
and their wounds dressed. The dead
were laid side by side on the counter
to await the arrival OF the coroner and
officers from Bedford. There Is In
tense excitement here.

ONCE On 1.-THE ISLAND"
The Fifth Baptist Church is a
Pioneer.
DIR. MEADOR'S SUCCESS
GREW FROM PRAYER MEETING
FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Trials Experienced During the War
Now Among Most Prosperous
Local Churches.

One of the most interesting sections OF
washington is that portion now known
no South Washin gton, but formerly called
"The Island" because 1T was separated
from the rest of the city by the old James
creek canal and surrounded on the other
two sides by the Potomac proper
and the Eastern branch. For
long time this part of town was
like different city, and, while the
development of the northwest was pro-
crossing rapidly the 1slaid was In
large measure standing still one OF the
first churches to be established here was
the Fifth Baptist Church, now occupying
the handsome stone structure on the cor
ner of 6M and h streets southwest Ihe
recent retirement from active work OF
Rev c. c. Meador, ID. D., pastor of this
congregation for nearly half century,
and the clergyman who has been more
closely Identified with the growth of this
section than any other, recalls much IN
terestinS history.
In recognition of his long service among
them, the members of the Fifth Baptist
Church have elected Dr. Meador pastor
emeritus, at a salary of $l,2O0, at the
same time sending a call to Rev. weston
Pruner d D. of Richmond Va, to be-
come the active pastor. DR.. Bruner has
accepted and is expected to take up ms
new duties September -. At the cele-
bration of the fOrty-eighth anniversary
of the church and of the pastOrate of DR..
Meador last Wedn esday evening, reported
in The Star the following afternoon, an
unusually interesting history of the
church WAS read by Samuel Nj. Yeatman,
an officer of the congregation. The paper
was prepared by MI Yeatnan himself,
who has been prominent in the work of
the church for many years The follow-
Ing is the history in part:
Almost Destitute of Churches.
Prior to 1880 that portion of the city
and the river and known as The Island
was nearly entirely destitute of churches
and Sunday schools. A number of the
members of the f Street Baptist Church
(now the Temple Baptist Church. Rev.
DIR. Muir, p1s;or) residing in that section
their pastor. Rev c.. w. Samson. and
others made many visits to the field and
established and for some time sustained
prayer N catinEs in private houses. These
measures were sooner or later initiated
by Christians Of other denominations
and led to the erection of churches and
the open ne OF Sunday schools. The pas
tor of tire u Street Church regularly Wis
tied the people of the Island when there
was scarcely another minister among
them
In lS43 most interesting prayer meeting
was commenced at the home of Mrs. Des-
mond, and this was continued for years.
Here the spirit OF revival often prevailed
and many were led to the church.
In 1885 q mission was esta blished by
the f. Street Church. A room for the
purpose was rented. and regular meetings
were established, which were attended
chiefly by the members of the mother
church The work was prosecuted with

Black and Yellow.
It's color was black with yelloWiSh spots.
Its head, of a grayish tint, seemed covered
with small scales, and recalled vaguely the
head of a colossal turtle, except for this
fact affirmed by half of the crew, 1t ap-
pears), that it showed fanglike teeth. These
the commander of the Decide did not per-
ceive, the monster being-according to him
at too great a distance for such details.
1t was not gigantic snake, he says,
though it Is easy to imag CINE how it might
be taken for a snake by such as should
only see its head and neck emerging from
the sea. There are at least 30 feet of neck
to rise out of the water, while the body
remains submerged; and there are far more
than 30 feet of tail. When the whole rep
tile is floating fat on the surface, the con-
tinuous serpent-like line of his back gives
quite the impression of the apocalyptic
great snake.
Fetch up the photographic apparatus"
cried Coannander TEost when he had re-
covered from the establishment of the sight.
Almost at the same moment other officers
were hurrying for kodaks, detective cam
eras or who knows what not? Feverishly
they made a first snapshot. Then the sea
serpent disappeared for good beneath the
waves. They waited round the spot for
half day, but nothing more was seen of
him. When 1t came to developing the
plates there was but one among them all
good-that taken, as have said, by Lieut..
Buisson, who now carries it in his pocket
