VICTIM OF HEART FAILURE.
Postmaster Van Colt, Of New York,
Dies After Illness Of Only
One Day.

New York, Oct. 2s.-Cornelius Van
Colt, postmaster of New York city, died
suddenly Tuesday afternoon of heart
failure, follow ng a sharp attack of
acute nerve. indigestion. He was
taken i'll Monoay afternoon at his Office
in the federal building and his condi-
ton was such that the attending physi-
clan deemed his removal unwise at that
time. Tuesday noon Mr.. Van Colt APP
peared much better and was taken to his
home in West Eighty-sixth street. He
walked to the elevator in the federal
building without difficulty and his physi-
clan believed that the postmaster was
merely suffering from an attack similar
to several he had had during the past
year. A consultation of physicians was
held as soon as Mr.. Van Colt reached
home and they gave favorable prog
nosis, provided apo1 lexy did not super
vene. Shortly afte'', however, the pa
tient had sinking spell and died at
3:25 o'clock Of heart failure.

NEGRO BEATEN TO DEATH.
Taken from Prison by Four Masked
Men at Berkeley, va.-Town
Under Martial Law.

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 24.-George W.
Blount, negro proprietor of a fish
and oyster shop in the Suburbs of
Berkeley, was taken early Monday
morning from the police station where
he was confined by four masked men
and shot to death, while TWO other
masked men kept the policeman in
charge of the station and a M ember Of
the town department who walls in the
station office, covered with r&yolyers.
Blount had been arrested Saturday
night for striking T. D. Holl bman,
Berkeley policeman, in the face with a
lighted lamp, badly burning him. The
officer had gone to Blount's place to
arrest another negro and Blo,unt re-
fused the officer permission to enter.
w. w. Robertson, a lumber dealer
and resident Of Berkeley, told Ma yor AL
len of that place that he witnessed the
killing from his bedroom window and
that Blount's screams awakened him.
-Four masked men, he said, had Blount
In the middle Of the street and were
clubbing him. Three of the men be-
came frightened at their victim'k cries
and fed, but the other, whom Rob- rtson
believes was white, drew a pistol and
shot Blount through the back bf his
head.
AS a result Of the lynching Of tho
negro Blount, at Berkeley, a suburb Of
Norfolk, a negro uprising is feared and
the mayor Of Berkeley has requested
Gov. Montague to hold sufficient force
in readiness to meet it if necessary.
The governor is in touch with COL Hig-
gins, Of the seventy-frst regiment, who
says he can throw enough men into
Berkeley within an hour to cope with
any situation that may develop.
Berkeley, the scene of the lynching Of
the negro, Blount, is now under martial
law. Two encounters occurred Monday
night between the troops and negroes.
One negro refused to obey orders to
move on and was bayoneted. He is not
seriously hurt. Two militiamen called
upon a negro seen crossing lot to
halt. In reply, he opened fire on them
and they replied. The negro fired three
times and fell in front of the soldiers
fire. AS they rushed towards him hs
jumped up and ran. escaping in the
darkness. It is thought he is wounded,

ARE UNITED.
Episcopal Bishops and Deputies
Finally Agree on Divorce
Canon.

Boston, Oct. 25.-An agreement on
the divorce question was reached Mon
day by the house of bishops and the
house of deputies of the Episcopal gen.
eral convention, after many days of dis
cussion. That section of the canon
bearing directly on the remarriage of
divorced persons which was amended by
the bishops Saturday, assented to by the
deputies Monday, and becomes effective
at once, is as follows:
mo minister, knowingly after due in
quiry, shall solemnize the marriage of
any person who has been or is the hus-
band or the wife of any other person
then living. from whom he or she has
been divorced for any cause arising
after marriage. But this canon shall
not be held to apply to the innocent
party in divorce foc adultery; provid,
ed, that before the application for such
remarriage period of not less than ono
year shall have relapsed, after tho
granting of such divorce; and that sat-
isfactory evidence touching the facts
in the case, including a copy of the
courts decree, and record if practicable.
with such proof that the defendant was
personally served or appeared in tho
action, be laid before the ecclesiastical
authority, and such ecclesiastical au-
thority, having taken legal advice
thereon, shall have declared in writing
that in his judgment the case of the an
plication conforms to the requirements
OF this canon, and provided further.
that it shall be within the discretion of
any minister to decline to solemnize any
marriage"
Leading church men expressed the
opinion that the restrictions placed mn
on the remarriage of an innocent party
to divorce are so stringent that the re-
marriage of divorced persons will DO
rare in the church thereafter. It is un.
destood, however, that an attempt will
be made to have the next convention
specifically declare against remarriage
under any conditions

BALL TELLS CHICAGO TIME.
Government Instrument on Masonic
Temple Is Known to But
Few Citizens.

He stood at Randolph and Clark streets
gazing intently at the roof of the Ma
sonic Temple. In one hand he held his
watch. A passing acquaintance slapped
him on the shoulder and asked If he had
become star gazer, relates the Record.
Herald.
Nope" was the reply and he returned
to the stare into space.
What are you looking for? Are you
crazy?"
Nope" again; waiting for noon SO /
can set my watch"
Quite q crowd gathered around him
and all curiously gazed into space. They
could see nothing but they waited for de-
velopments, continuing to gaze aloft.
The crowd increased until it blocked the
sidewalk. Still he stood, watch in hand.
More people stopped to gaze and wonder.
Finally his friend said:
"Tell me what you are waiting for, peo-
pie will think you are crazy"
WELL" he said, do you see that big
ball at the top of the pole on the Masonic
Temple? That ball is set up there by the
government. Promptly at noon, Chicago
time, a man at Washington presses a
key. That releases the ball and it fails,
giving Chicago official government
time" Before his friend could speak the
ball fell into its socket. The man set his
watch and walked on. AS he crossed the
street the crossing policeman called out:
Say. you! Don't get around so soon
tomorrow. If you collect crowd there
every day I'll get called down by the SER
geant. II do you'll be locked up for OBJ
structing the sidewalk"
And still only few of Chicago's thou
sands are aware of the fact that Wash
ington notifies all Chicago of the noon
hour by dropping big ball on the roof
of the Masonic Temple.
