Crlticizes Parker and Pays

He SNEERS AT HARMONY
Little Is Accomplished at Texas Demo-
cratic Convention Except the
Perfeetlng of Temporary
Organization.

Houston. Tex. August 2.-Little was ac-
complished by the democratic state con-
vention aside from perfecting temporary
organization. and the considering of con-
tests, by the credentials committee. The
white mans union delegates from Grimes
county were seated, which gives the con-
gressional nomination in the eighth dis
trict to John NJ. Pinckney without fur
Their contest.
Carlos Bee of San Antonio was made
temporary chairman, and S. B. Cooper of
Beaumont has been selected for perma-
nent chairman
The anti's have not yet made up their
minds as to bringing on a fight In the
convention for a platform and the local
optionists remain on the defensive. The
fight may be participated in by some
one delegate, but the impression now is
that the party will fall to make any
declaration as to prohibition.
Permanent organization will be perfected
In the morning and the nominations made
The only office in doubt is the attorney
generals, and four candidates will be put
up for the nomination unless some deal
is made tonight.
Ex-Governor Hogg' was given an ova~
ton today when he appeared on the plat
form, but he is not taking any part In any
of the contests.
Ex-Governor Hogg created some thing Of
sensation when he made Il speech this
evening referring sneeringly to harmony,
criticizing Judge Parker and paying a
tribute to President Roosevelt. He said
that Parker would be elected and that it
could not be told that there had been
any change Of party IN the administra-
ton.
Ex-Congressman It. II. Ball arralgned
Governor Hogg and was given loud APP
plause, holding reception after the con-
vention adjourned.
The night session was devoted to speech
making as the committees were not ready
to report. After long conference to-
night, 7. S. Schuyler and w. c. Wear
tonight decided to withdraw from the race
for attorney general and not go before
the convention for nomination.
This gives the nomination for attorney
general to r. G. Davidson of Galveston on
the first ballot, and is believed to have
settled the matter of all nominations.

CHURCH OPPOSES
LAW OF DIVORCE
REV. PATRICK O'BRlEN OF TO-
LEDo DELIVERS STRONG SER
MON BEFORE FEDERATION OF
CATHOLIC SOCIETIES.

Detroit, Mich, August 2.-Three hun
bred delegates were present today in Light
Guard armory at the openeing session of
the fourth convention of the American
Federation of Catholic societies. The
business sessions beginning this evening
are to be executive, and the only open
meetings will be those held in the even
Ing, at which addresses will be made by
prominent clergy and laymen. After pom
tihcal high mass had been celebrated,
Rev Patrick O'Brien of Toledo preached
the sermon. He discussed the conflict
between the authorities of the church
and that of the state, saying:
THE church cannot sanction unjust or
bad laws. 1t cannot sanction the law of
divorce because 1t is against the law of
God. The state has no right to enact the
law of divorce. L say 1t as citizen
loyal to the government. The church
cannot sanction the present public school
system Of the country, because It elimi-
mates religion from the teachings. l know
that is an unpopular stand, but we must
make 1t because we are right and the
state is wrong. Our n-Catholc breth-
rem know us not. They look upon US
with prejudiced eyes and imagine there
is something In the teachings of the
church that weakens our loyalty to the
government. I defy any man to impugn
the loyalty of Catholics.
Though the number Of Catholics In this
country is 12.o0o,O 600 we have less influence
than some Of the weaker sects. It Is be-
cause of cowafdice In expressing our
opinions. You will never get anything
by keeping silent. You must advance
your ideas. you must fight-but not, thank
God, with deadly weapons. The object Of
your convention is high and noble one.
You must lay down a fighting programme
for the future, and carry 1t out"

FINE RESIDENCE
BURNED TO GROUND
Frank Bates Dairy Farm Suffers
$500 Loss
LARGE VOTE WAS CAST
MlIIer's Majority In Fourth Circuit
VIII Probably Reach 1eoo-Loeal
and Personal News
From Selma.

Selma, August 2.-(Special) -Word
reached the city at noon today of the
total destruction by fire of the residence
of Frank Bates at Bates farm between
Marion Junction and Hamburg. The fam
ily were awakened about o'clock by the
roaring of flames which fortunately they
had heard in time to permit of the saving
of most of their wearing apparel and
some of the furniture and valuables.
Mr.. Bates has perhaps the most ideal
cattle farm in Alabama and has hundreds
of fine Jersey cows. The barns and sta
bles were fortunately far enough removed
from the house to save them from the
flames.
Mr.. Bates dairy which was nearer tho
house was totally consumed. The resi-
dence was a modern six room house
story and a half high and its loss will
aggregate about $500. The property was
partially insured. The origin of the fire
is attributed to mice taking matches be-
tween the roof and ceiling.
Larger Vote Than Expected.
The official returns from the election
held yesterday to name a successor to
Judge Moore Lave all been received ex-
cept from two small beats in Dallas eoun-
ty and show a very much larger vote
polled than was anticipated. 1t seems
that great many democrats feared that
the vote would be unusually small and
therefore considered it his duty to go out
and vote.
In this way a very splendid turn out
was secured, the total vote not being far
from HOO. or the beats reported Miller
has received 926 and Hogue 40 votes. Two
missing precincts have total of twenty
votes. With one precinct to hear from
Wilcox county gave Miller S66 votes and
Hogue 200. The missing precinct has
about forty votes. Millers majority in
circuit will be about 1900.
The report comes from Marion that
with ali beats heard from, Hogue car
ries Perry county by PA majority.

Killed In Train
Wreck.
Runaway Freight Cars Cause Dis
dSter.
A SCORE OF PERSONS INJURED

| AS the result of an accident on
! the Baltimore Central and Will
mington Northern railroads, at
Chadd's Ford, in Chester county,
on Monday afternoon at about five
O'Clock, one person was killed and
a score or more injured.
j.. Wiley Palmer, a student, of
Kennett Square. a passenger on the
Baltimore Central train, was killed
outright, his body being crushed.
Palmer was in the rear car of
the Baltimore Central train. Just
as the Wilmington and Northern
train struck the coach he attempt
ed to escape. He was caught un-
der the wrecked coach. Life was
crushed out almost instantly, and
his body could not be extricated
from the wreckage until the arrival
of the wreck crew.
Young Palmer was a student at
Goldey College and together with
number of his college friends
was returning to his home.
None Of his companions were
severely injured. Some of them,
however, were badly scalded by
escaping steam.
The passenger train on the Bal
timore Central left Philadelphia at
1882 p. m. and was standing at the
station at Chadd's Ford. At the
Wilmington and Northern Station,
adjoining the Baltimore Central,
stood train on that line. At
Chadd's Ford the two railroads
cross each other at grade, the Balti-
more Central on high embank-
ment leading to a bridge which
crosses the Brandywine creek.
In the front of the passenger train
on the Baltimore Central track
stood freight train No. 43. In
some manner fifteen of the cars of
the freight train broke loose and
crashed down the road into the
waiting passenger train.
1t upset one of the Baltimore
central cOacheS over the embank-
ment, and the passengers we're
more or less injured. 1t was neces-
sary to cut them out OF the cars
with axes. 1t was in this car that
Palmer was killed.
The Baltimore Central train in
turn crashed into the Wilmington
and Northern train at the crossing
and tossed the locomotive of the
latter over the embankmenu. The
engineer, E. R. McCauley, and the
fireman, M. S. Compton, were in
jured.
About twenty people were hurt,
their injuries being principally
cuts and bruises.
The cOroner's jury rendered a
verdict placing the blame for the
accident on P, B. & w. railroad
company, through the negligence of
the crew of its extra freight train
in not properly securing the train
of cars while standing on the main
track, above Chadds Ford Juction
Station.

On Monday morning just as Mrs.
