Special to The Daily Item.

Special to The Daily Item.
Columbia, May 2.-The dispensary
people of York county have organized
their forces to oust J.. Steele Brice,
State senator, the anti-dispensary
leader and author of the Brice act
under which fourteen counties have
voted out their dispensaries.
The representative of The Record,
who was at Rock Hill this week, was
Informed by number of dispensary
leaders that Senator Rrice's defeat for
reelection as county chairman on the
7th OF May was now practically GER
tain, enough delegates having been
elected last week 70 accomplish that
end. ". H. Stewart, who has served
long number of years as reading
clerk of the Senate, and who is
splendid organizer, is to be put up to
beat Mr.. Brice.
In addition to this conference is
to be held at Rock Hill in the imme-
diate future for the purpose Of nomi-
mating four straight dispensary
men for the legislature. Mr.. Brice's
term as senator does not expire for
two years and he therefore cannot be
put out altogether until that time, but
his defeat as county chairman means
almost certainly his defeat as senator
two years hence and the elevation in
his place Of Mr.. Stewart.
Mr.. Brice attended the recent anti
dispensary secret conference here re-
Gently. The meagre information given
out about its doings disclosed that it
was the intention Of the anti-dispensa-'
ry people to organize throughout the
State. So it is thought likely that the
anti-dispensary people Of York will
also put out a legislative ticket. In.
that event other counties will in all
probability follow suit. The York
fight appears to mark the beginning Of
drawing sharp lines on the dispensary
issue in the coming summer campaign.

MONY IN CASE ON TRIAL
AT KANSAS CITY.

TELLS OF RECEIVING $4,000 In
FIVE YEARS FROM uN-
KNOWN SOURCES.

Kansas City, May 25.-More sensa-
tional testimony was brought out dur
ing the day in the trial in the United
States district court here of George
II. Crosby, traffic manager of the Bur
lington railway; George L. Thomas Of
New York, a freight broker, and L.
B. Taggart, his clerk, on a charge of
conspiracy.
7. Fl. McKittrick, president Of the
Hargadine- -McKittrick Dry Goods com
pany of St. Louis, the first witness,
who had testified that he had en-
ployed Thomas at a salary Of $500 a
year to look after the interest of his
firm in the matter of railway rates
and routeing from the East, admitted
that he had received various sums OF
money from unknown sources" In
Dne instance Mr. McKittrick testified
a person whom he did not know en-
tered his (Mckittricl' office in New
York city one day and handed him a
package Of money containing between
S400 and $500.
In reply to direct question Mr..
Mchittrick said he had at various
times received money from unknown
sources" Witness then detailed the
recent of the money in his New York
Office from an unknown man. Contin-
uing he said .hat some Of the money
had been received by express. In
this manner he said his firm had
within four or five years received
about $4,000, during which time they
had paid out s480,000 in freight.

Burnham-Hanna-M Munger Dry Goods
company of Kansas City, testified to
hiring Thomas at salary of 1000

FINAL ACTION TAKEN REuNlTlNG
TWO BRANCHES OF PRESBY-
TERRAIN CHURCH.
STORM OF REJOICING FOLLOWS VOTE
TWO MEMBERS OF GENERAL AS
sEMRLY ALONE IN oPPoSi-
TON TO PLAN.

Des Moines, May 25.-"I do solemn
ly declare and here publicly announce
that the basis of reunion and union IS
now in full force and effect and that
the Cumberland Presbyterian church
is now reunited with the Presbyterian
church in the United States of Amer
lea as one church.
With these words uttered before the
general assembly Moderator Hunter
Corbett officially established the I'M
ion Of the Cumberland church with the
Presbyterian church in the United
States of America.
The big ecclesiastical assembly
burst into a storm Of rejoicing. Hand
clapping, cheering and waving OK
handkerchiefs gave expression to un-
allowed pleasure. The consummation
devoutly wished and worked for
through many years, despite many OBJ
stacles, had become a reality.
The most intensely dramatic scene
of the ceremonies attending the for
NAL union Of the churches was the
vote against union by two commission
ers. Moderator Hunter Corbett put
the question, which was in the form
Of a resolution, and called for the
affirmative vote to be expressed by
The Commissioners Rising.
Instantly the assembly hall was con-
verted into a stamping, cheering
crowd. AS the handclapping and
cheering died down and the commits
sioners took their seats the moderator
said:
"All who are of the opinion that the
motion should not prevail please rise.
A laugh went around the hall, for 1t
was believed the request was mere
formality and would meet with no re-
sponse To the establishment of all
present two commissioners rose to
their feet Pandemonium broke loose
and it was feared for an instant that
indignity would be offered the lonely
men who opposed the union. One OF
the men was Dr. William Laurie Of
Bellefonte, Pa, and the other was
Rev. Roger F. Cressey Of Jackson
vile, Ill.
The assembly telegraphed the Cum.

ment of the City, and therefore have
the honor and pleasure of being that
body's official representative at the
present ceremonies.
GIVE are gathered together to- day to
commemorate in an appropriate
manner the laying of the corner stone
of this house of worship. The event
has awakened an interest in the peo-
pie of this community, as testified to
by the magnificent audience assem-
bled here, that has rarely, perhaps
never before, been equaled upon a
similar occasion within the limits OF
our City. The old and the young, the
rich and the poor, regardless OF
religious belief, have come to honor
the occasion and witness the inspir-
ing spectacle.
GA little less than a year ago the
people of this community were all
greatly 'grieved at the calamity that
befell the Catholic church of the City.
After many years of toll and contri-
! button a church had been erected
suited to the needs and requirments
of the parishioners. It was their
honest pride; the town could boast of
no handsomer place of worship; the
parish was free from debt; no in
cumbrance was recorded against it;
and those who had labored through
the long years for the happy realiza
ton of this condition were just begin
ing to look farWard to a we'll rounded
period of its enjoyment, but their
hopes were soon to be rudely shatter-
ed. In the dead of night July 10th,
1905, in scarcely more than an hour
that pile of timber, brick, and stone,
the result of years of contribution,
crumbled beneath the devastating
power of fire. 1t was a complete loss.
On the succeeding morning nothing
remained of the former, familiar edi-
flee, but charred timbers and fallen
walls. Many hearts ached at the
scene of desolation.
"This misfortune falling as it did in
times of depression, occasioned by
the poor harvests of the past seasons,
meant a hardship to those upon whom
would fall the burden of restoration.
No powerful financial allies could be
turned to in that hour of need. None
existed. None had ever existed. No
brick in that humble pile had been
purchased with tainted money. Each
dollar that was subscribed to rear that
structure came from the hand of
honesty, free as the morning dew,
and stainless as the stars OF heaven.

RoAsTs RAILWAY PRESIDENT.
Sharp Criticism in Decision by Fed
eraI Court of Appeals.

New York, May 25.-Sharp criticism
of w. H. Truesdale, president of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad, for breaking contract to
carry milk on that road is contained
in a decision of the United States cir
cult court of appeals. Damages
amounting to s137,883 were awarded
TO Robert E. Westcott, an executor OF
the estate of John H. Paul, who had
contract under which he bought great
quantities of milk from farmers and
shipped it over the LackaWanna.
Judge Wallace, in his decision, said
that President Truesdale's reputation
of the contract was inspired by sordid
motives and committed with an "arro-
gance born of Scorn of the conse-
quences." that the appropriation of
Westcott's percentages of the money
which the defendant had collected for
him was morally no better than lar
ceny,' and that conduct like Trues-
da1e's by those who manage the af-
fairs of great corporations has aroused
the spirit of resentment in the public
mind which is SO intense today and
which is not unlikely to result in liti-
cation and in municipal interference
which will bring serious loss upon the
stockholders"

The ..sew celery Culture"

! The new method" of growing Gel
cry, as briefly described by Rural New
Yorker consists in preparing the soil
thoroughly, manuring or fertilking
heavily and setting the plants close to
gether, In some cases one foot apart,
all over the field, without mounding or
banking up. 1t Is necessary to irrigate
from time to time, and while young the
plants are kept clean by hand and
wheel hoe. The dense mass OF celery
bleaches the stalks without the need of
earth or boards. 1t appears. however.
that the method has not become popu-
lar and that some trouble has resulted
from mice attacking the celery.

day. and even while the exercises
were in progress, there were occasion
ed sprinkles of rain, but nevertheless,
a large concourse Of people of all de-
nominations attended the exercises
and remained in spite of the rain, for
not only the members of the Catholic
church. but all the people of Morris
and vicinity are interested in the mag
nificent new church which the Catho-
lies are building. The Morris Military
Band, the Catholic Order of Foresters
and the Ancient Order of Hibernians
marched to the church in a body,
where the exercises were opened by
appropriate music by the band
Bishop Trobec and the assembled
priests then recited the beautiful
litany while the corner stone vas
being set. and afterwards the bishop
blessed the stone and the building.
The visiting priests who took part in
the ceremonies were Rt. Rev. Jas.
Trobec, bishop of St. Cloud; Rev. Geo.
F. Arneth, chancellor of the diocese;
Rev. James N. Cleary of Minneapolis;
Rev. P. J. Boland of st. Paul; Rev
M. O'Brien of Graceville; Rev. T. F.
O'Connor of Sauk Centre; Rev. Vim
cent Weigand of Chokio, and Rev. DIR.
Owen Mcclure of Rochester, n. Y.
Rev. Father Cleary, of Minneapolis,
preached the sermon. In eloquent
phrases, he set forth the responsible
tiles of religion and of the church.
He showed that it was the duty of the
church to teach, to guide, to sanctify
and to save men. He spoke of Christ
as the Great Teacher, who came to
earth with with authority from the
father to teach men the method Of
salvation, and that from him the
church derived it's knowledge and
authority for teaching men even to
the present time. But the church not
only had authority to teach men in
religion, but to guide them in their
moral conduct, and so the church had
become the great leader in all those
things that tend to make men better
morally. The church is the great
ciyilizer, leading men into the better
wavs of life, SO that finally it sancti-
fies and saves them.
Father Cleary's sermon was filled
with noble. thoughts clothed in in
spring language, and being gifted
with fine voice for speaking, he was
given the most careful attention by
his audience.
Bishop Trobec's remarks were
largely informal. He congratulated

no conclusion has been reached re-
garding his prospective appointment
to the supreme court of the United
States. The subject has gone over
until Dec. 1, when congress will meet
for it's second session and when the
successor of Justice Brown will be
named.
Morris tribune., 1906-05-26

Let us hope that the new church, the
corner stone of which we lay to-day,
will be builded and maintained by
similar contributions. Let no tainted
money be accepted to further its con-
struction, and, if offered, may the
hand that receives it wither in it's
grasp and the name of the giver be
obliterated from the memory of man
kind forever.
ssIt was a fortunate circumstance
that at the time of this disaster the
pastor of the church should be man
highly qualified by nature and edu-
cation to meet the trying exigencies
of the occasion. The parishioners
must be consoled, heartened, and sus-
tanned. Temporary Accommodations
secured for rel gious services, plans
for the future formed and money once
more raised to build anew. All these
things were soon accomplished. The
parishioners quickly took heart again.
The armory was obtained gratuitously
from the City to meet the immediate
requirements of the parish. Money
rapidly subscribed. Plans for new
and grander church formed which
have progressed without hitch or
hindrance to the stage of develop
ment which you to-day behold. To
the accomplishment of all this and as
the guiding spirit it is impossible for
me to conceive of one possessing
more rounded and splendid qualifca-
tions than the eminent and scholarly
Rev. Edward Jones whom the mem
bers of his flock so greatly love and
all so highly respect.
"But all is not yet done. The sub
scription list has not been closed.
Much money must still be raised to
bring this structure to the fullness of
it's beauty and magnifcence. Let us
all here assembled contribute gener
ously to the advancement of this
worthy cause. 1t is an edifice of
which all will be proud, standing out
in strong relief, credit to this parish
and an ornament to this City and
County
"When finished it will be constant
source of joy and comfort to you in
the occasional vicissitudes of life.
When the sun of prosperity shines
brightest above you it is a temple of
religion where you may gather from
day to day and from week to week in
recognition and glory of Him who
caused it; and in that dark hour of
dependency and despair, when the
black clouds of misfortune hang
thickest around you, it is cliff to
which you may cling in safety while
the rough waters of adversely ruth
lessly roar below.
"May its lofty pinnacles, when
brought to perfect beauty by the
hands of the builders, and bathed III
the soft radiance of the morning sun
shine, bid eternal welcome to those
who come here to worship, shaping
and moulding the characters of the
young Alright, strengthening and in
spring to greater and nobler action,
and from the feeble hearts of weak
and weary age forever banishing all
of darkness and dis
pair. May it ever endure splendid
monument to the courage, generosity,
and self-sacrifice of the people of this
community who made it possible, and
an inspiration to the moral, intellectu-
al, and religious amelioralion not only
of those who adhere to the principles
of the Catholic faith, but of all man
kind"
