Virginia Baptists,

At yesterdays session in Petersburg
of the Virginia Portsmouth Baptist AS
ISOLATION voted to divide the organization
into three different associations on ac-
count OF the body being too large. The
question of division has been urged for
fifteen years or more. The membership
as divided consists of two new associa-
tions, with the old one still in existence.
The lower district will be known as the
Portsmouth Association; The upper dis
trct as the Petersburg Association, and
the middle district as the Blackwater
Association.
w. b. Daniel was elected moderator
of the Petersburg Association; Rev. j.
r. DoaD. of Petersburg, vice moderator,
and Rev. ii. G Smith, of Emporis, clerk
and treasurer.

dorse the plan 10 endow a John ID

ern Baptist Theological Seminary; that

Attacked Bryan,

Major r. G. Glascock caused a IT,
multi 10 a meeting Of the Virginia
Democratic Association of the District OF
Columbia last night by introducing, in
lieu of 3 resolution indorsing the poll
tics of William j. Bryan, substitute Bit
terly arraigning the Nebraskan for what
was termed his drastic ideas"
President R. E L. YellOtt read the orig
inal resolution, which was an indorse-
ment OF Mr.. Brysn's policies in reference
to trusts, private monopoies and tariff for
revenue. Major Glascock, who stated
that he swallowed Bryan as bitter pill
in his first presidential campaign and re-
pudiated him 10 his second, offered this
substitute:
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this
association that the democratic party
should at once unload William Jennings
Bryan and his drastic ideas and clear
the decks of all rubbish for a successful
campaign in 1908
Following the reading Of the substitute
half dozen members we're on their feet
clamoring for recognition. Major Glss-
cock spoke in support ofthe motion, but
10 the numerous other speeches it was
generally and strenously opposed.
When put to a vote Major Glasock's
was the only vote in favor of its passage.
A resolution condemning the practice
OF federal officers employing their time
in making campaign speeches was voted
down, and resolution that tariff revis-
ion be made The paramount issue of the
campaign substituted.
The following officers we're elected:
President, r. E. l. Yellot; first vice. pres
ident, T. Wingfeld Bullock; second
vice. president, Major Geo. A. Armes;
secretary, M. Preston Evans; treasurer,
r. A. Bates; corresponding secretary,

Express Rates to be Changed.

In addition to its work of fixing the
assessment of the properties belonging
to express concerns the State Corpora
ton Commission today will also submit
to the express companies doing business
| in this State schedule OF rates which
must be observed hereafter by the cor.
porations.
The new rates materially change the
price heretofore prevailing in regard to
expressage. They are based both on
weight and the distance the package is
10 be carried.
For general merchandise, the old mini
mum of 25 cents is retained, but radical
changes mark all the rest of the tariff
sheet For instance, a package weighing
from one and half to FIVE pounds must
be carried any distance W to 400 miles
for fiat rate Of % cents, but If it is
from six to ten pounds in weight, a
graded scale Of prices will apply.
For example, the price will be 30
cents up to a distance of $50 miles; then
it will jump to 80 cents and thus con-
time tor a distance up to 2QO miles.
At 200 miles it will jump again 10 40
cents, at which figure it will remain for
the next 80 miles. At 800 the price will
Jump to IS cents and thus it will con-
tinue up to $50 miles. AT $50 still
another five cents Sill be added. And
so the variation goes, being regulated
both by weight and the distance the
package is to be carried.
In addition TO the scale for merchan-
disc, there is another for general spe-
cia goods" such as fruits, and for beer,
cider, coca-cols, and other liquids. Here
the minimum for 100 pounds is 30 cents
up to furty miles, at forty miles it in
creases to 80 cents, where il remains for
the next twenty miles And so the prices
keep jumping, 5 cents being added with
almost every additional twenty miles.

Startling RnmOrs.

New York, Sept. PA rumor that
a tidal wave had struck New Orleans
aud caused great property losses reached
Wall street at 1910 this morning.
Contradictory of the rumor OF the
tidal wave having hit New Orleans,
Theodore Price, cotton broker, has re-
ceived dispatch from the South saying
that New Orleans has suffered no serious
damage, though some trouble has re-
suited from high water due to the pre-
gailing high east winds from the Gulf OF
Mexico The wind and rain has caused
considerable damage to telegraph lines
in the south and for time today wire
communication with New Orleans was
seriously interrupted. The two facts
are supposed to have been the basis of
the tidal wave rumOr.
Chicago, Sept. 27.-The general Off
ces here of the Illinois Central, at noon,
today, il was said that the company has
a wire to New Orleans and that no
serious damage has been done although
there has been big storm in that
vicinity.
The Postal Telegraph Cable Company
furnishes the following telegram from
New Orleans: "The high wind aud rain
that usually strikes this section at the
time of the equinox, have blown down
the wires in numerous places. As far as
we can learn, up to this time, there has
been 10 loss of life, or property, though
tidal wave is rumored on the gulf.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 27.-The Western
Union office here has received report
that a hurricane is blowing up the Miss
issippi Valley, and that tidal wave has
swept in from the Gulf over New Orleans
entailing probably loss of life and de-
struction to property. The wires be-
tween Atlanta and New Orleans have
gone down and no details can be re-
ceived.
Louisville, Ky Sept 27.-Repor,s re-
ceived here say that New Orleans is
under water. The depth given varies
from six inches TO ten feet

Murder Mystery Revealed.

New York. Sept. Believing they
have solved the mystery of the victim
of the murder brought TO light on Sun
day by the discovery OF dismembered
body in an excavation at Thirty-sixih
street and Eleventh Avenue, the police
have in custody Aram Tashjian, an
Armenian, twenty years old. His victim
is believed to have been his own brother,
Markar. The two Armenians with a
younger brother Levon, about nine years
old, lived on the second floor Df tene-
ment house at 426 Eleventh Avenue.
Markar has not been seen by neighbors
since Saturday evening. Aram says his
brother has gone away, as he believes,
to Egypt. According to the police there
is ample evidence to convict Aram.
Stories told by Deighbors 10 the house
are to the effect that the brothers
quarrelIed late Saturday night. Then
there came a fall, a gurgliDg sound
After a long interval Aram left the
apartment carrying large bundle. He
made second trip from the house when
he carried other bundles Aram denies
his guilt, but told conflicting stories about
his missing brother aud will be charged
with the murder The police theory is
that the men quarrelled over money,
and that Aram struck down his brother
and then cut up the body to dispose oft.
Confronted at the morgue with the
grewsome remains of his victim, Aram
Tasbian broke down and confessed to
the police that the body was that of his
brother, Markar, aud that he is the
murderer. Aram cleared the mystery
of the missing head by saying he had
thrown it into North river from
one of the docks in the neighbor.
