viii Be Given Thorough Trial By the
Gulf s Ship Island and Alabama
& Vicksbur6 Railroads.

Mr.. Zach T. Hoskins. the in
lventor of Brookhaven, is here for
1.-THE purpose Of introducing to the
Gulf and Ship Island and to the
Alabama q Vicksburg railroads
| bis new improvement on the pres
ent rail joint fish plate, y used by
all railroads.
The invention consists Of plate
added to the present 'fish-plase''
without making any change ii the
present splice whatever. This
adds sufficient strength to the fish
plate to keep the joints from go
ing down when the wheels pass
over them. The inventor claims
that he can keep the track from
running by controlling the expan-
sion and contraction, that by this
improvement he can prevent
pounding Of the joints, and that
he can prevent the spreading of
thesrails near the joints.
The railroads are very much
interested in the improvement and
Iif Mr.. Hoskins can accomplish
what he says be can it will be an
Improvement long looked for by
every railroad company in the
United States, and will do away
with many wrecks that now occur,
and will be the saving of much
life and property every year.
The Illinois Central Railroad is
now testing the improvement and
in short while an official report
will be made Of the efficiency of
the invention to hold up the joint,
and later on the expansion test will
be made. The LouivsilIe & Nash
vile railroad will also give the
splice test at an early date.
Mr.. Hoskins talked quite en-
Enthusiastically about his invention
to a Clarion-Ledger reporter and
stated that there was not shadow
of doubt about its successful
working. He said that the patent
had already been given several
minor trials and in every case had
more than come up to his expecta-
tions. He stated that the present
imperfect working of railroad
joints was main cause of the
many wrecks we have today and
that his improvement would mean
vast reduction every year.

PoPE LEo,s PoEM ON DEATH.

In 1897 the Pone felt the shadow Of death be-
ginning to fall upon him, and wrote the follow
ing lines, which are considered among his
strongest work:
DEATH.
The westesing sun draws near his cloudy bed,
Leo, and gradual darkness wells thy head.
The sluggish life-blood in thy withered veins
More slowly runsits course what then remains?
Lo! Death is brandishing his fatal dart,
And the grave yearns to shroud thy mortal part
But from its prison freed, the soul expands
Exulting pinions to the enfranchised lands.
My weary race is run---I touch the goal;
Hear, Lord, the feeble paintings of my soul;
If it be worthy, Lord thy plying breast
Welcome it unto everlasting restl
May behold thee, Queen of earth and sky,
Whose love enchained the demons lurking nigh
The path to heaven; and freely shall / own
Twas thy sweet care that gained my blissful
crown!

BISHOP M'|NTuRFF'S
FLOCK WANTS HIM FIRED
Some Members of The Peoples Church
Believe the Bishop is Trying to Do
Them Out of Their Property

There is lively among Bishop Mclnturtf's flock
in the Union Christian Church. Trustees and leading
members of the church have rebeled against Dr. Mcln
turf's leadership and management.
A meeting of the dissatisfied ones is being held this
afternoon at Salvation Army Hall to inaugurate cam

up the much heralded ''colony'' scheme

lands lately conveyed to the trustees of the church and
that he is engaged in selling off the personal property and
using the money for his own private use.
The preliminary steps were taken today for reorgan-
zaton of the United Christian church. and is proposed
to have the lands at Bonners Ferry transferred to the
church for it's benefit and held for the benefit of Bishop
Mclnturf

tees today "He has been running everything for him.

from the church Now propose to reorganize and put
him out"
The sale of the church property known the Albion
block cannot be disturbed That has been conveyed to
Thomas Hye by the Shame parties who took title when
the United Christian church organized The trustees
who took that title were A. f. Litts Mrs Miller, H. B,
Hatch Mr. Cooper Mrs. d. N. McInturff, Mrs Carl and
Mrs. Johnson. Whether they held individuals as
trustees they conveyed the property under proper nsruct
tons from the church. A majority of these people now

transferring them to the parties legally entitled to them

Councilmen Gray, Funk and Snyder
turned tail and ran away from their
agreement to support the proposed
charter amendments at the council
meeting last night and, by throwing
their support to Councilman Pratt,
who has all along opposed the grant
ing of more power to the mayor,
were able to delay action on the
amendments.
Politics of the rankest sort resulted
in the delayed action of the council.
The chief contention is over grant
ing the mayor power to remove and
appoint officials. Under the present
system Councilman Pratt and other
democrats have been able to keep
their democratic favorites in office
regardless of the political faith of
the mayor. To change the system
and place the appointive power where
it rightfully belongs. with the mayor,
would result in removing the power
of Mr.. Pratt and other councilmen
