Mrs. Carl Smith Had Narry " ESyap, Yesterday While Talking .,0nr Telephone Bolt Strikes
 Turner Bedding Factory.

While receiving message over the telephone Saturday morning while lat work at her desk at the Turner Bed ding Factory, Mrs. Carl Smith was se- verely shocked by the lightning which visited this city at that time, and it is miracle that she was not instantly killed. The reason she did not meet death on the spot can only be ascribed to the Divine Providence.
 Mrs. Smith was taking down an or der over the phone, and the lightning struck the wire, rendering Mrs. Smith unconscious for a time and completely stunning her. The 35 horse power motor, which is in the factory there, was completely burned out, and the iron casing was melted and it fell on the floor. Both telephones were burned out, and some of the copper wires leading to the establishment were melted The escape was one of the narroWest that has been recorded in this city for some time.
 This is the second time that light ming has struck the Turner Beddi ig plant, an accident similar to this one having taken place before, but at that time no one was shocked, nor was the affair marked with such l aar- row escape. At that time the motor was burned out, and the phones rer- dered useless for some time.

REV. w. S. ELLlNGTON'S MOTHER
DIES IN MEMPHIS.

Rev. w. S. Ellington, who was sum-
moned last Sunday afternoon to Mem
lbis On account Of the death of his
mother, has returned to the city. His
trip was indeed sad one. He did not
know that his mother was even i'll and
states that it was one Of the remark
'ble cases where a person is hale and
leatry one day and corpse the next.
Last Saturday his mother was visit
'ng some of her children, who reside
n Lake View, Miss. After hearing a
rumor that Rev. Mr. Ellington would
preach in Memphis last Sunday she
became very eager to return, and i'm
mediately boarded the train for Mem
0his. When she arrived there she
found that the report was only a ru-
NOR; yet this disappointment did not
seem to affect her, and she began in
her usual jovial way to entertain the
children. Saturday night she was
taken very i'll and the entire family
was summoned to her bedside. Ply
sicians were called in the early hours
Of the morning, but in spite of their
efforts to relieve the sufferer, she
grew worse. Finally she succumbed
% the Angel of Death at ten o'clock
Sunday morning.
Rev. Ellington left Sunday night at
l1:20 arriving in Memphis Monday
morning, at o'clock, where all of the
"hildren, including four boys and
three girls, children of the deceased,
had met to pay their last respects
Mrs, Ellington was II years old and
has raised her family principally
'lone, her husband having died twen-
ty years ago last June. She had re-
markable record as a Christian woman
md worker. She was 40 years a
member of the same church at Gala
way, Tenn. where all Of her children

her remains were inferred in the

from the various governments and va
r1ous nationalities, and yet were hud-
died together as one family, each de-
pending upon the other. He showed
that the great questions arising were
not questions that could be settled by
political issues, but to be settled like
all financial questions, commercial
questions, labor problems, and socio-
logical questions or problems-must
be settled upon the Christ plan. He
said that the old theology and theolo-
gians had misunderstood and misin-
terpreted the purpose Of Christ's COM
ing to the earth. The old idea was
that Christ's purpose for visiting the
earth was to increase the census or
population of Heaven and that his
greatest mission, his greatest argu.
ment was to persuade men from earth
to Heaven, but that nothing could be
more foreign from the teachings of
Christ.
He said that this old idea Of both
the theologians and the scientists was
to set forth theory and then look for
facts to support it; but that the new
theologians and the new scientists
looked for all the facts both in the
Bible and in nature, summed them up
and then applied the best theory. And
this new theory and new theology had
made the world rich in wealth, rich in
Christianity, and rich in knowledge.
He said that so soon as each man
could be taught to understand his
proper relation to his fellow brother,
all these problems would be readily
settled, and then, and not until then,
would the kingdom Of God come.
At the close of his address, DR.. Lam.
buth arose and spoke Of starting to
Japan within the next few days to as
sist in organizing the United Metho
dist Church of Japan, to be composed
of the Methodist churches Of the
South, East and of Canada. He asked
the prayers of all present for divine
guidance.
He also explained that the Minis
ter's Conference had done all in it's
power to prevent the appearance OF
"The Clansman" on the stage in this
city few weeks ago; that they Of
fered to pay the rent of the opera
house in full if prevented; that they
had not succeeded, but that the efforts
to suppress the "Clansman" had
awakened great idea Of Christian
responsibility among the Christian
citizenship of Nashville, and assured
the colored representatives that the
better element of the Southern whites
were willing to join heart and hand
with them for lettering their condi
ton in this country. After which, DR.
Chappelle, Hon. ]. G. Napier and {

7ressed their high appreciation fol

tertaining the first session of the Ma

he said: "The first year we reported
three hundred leaeues: the second
year, five hundred" and last MondaN
his record showed that over one thou
sand leagues were registered on his
books, allowing for one hundred ant
ten that had lapsed. He said that he
would not say that ten thousand dele
gates would attend the convention fol
it was not his desire to deceive the
neople but he felt certain that he was
conservative in saving that between
three and five thousand delegates
would visit this city in July. He sale
that as yet all of the pastors did no

Damage Suit Tried at Montezuma--
Second Verdict in GrinneIl Case.
Special to Times Republican.
Grnnell, Jan. 1S.-The trial OF Parn
Kirkpatrick against the London Guar
antee and Accident Company, Limited,
is now in progress at Montezuma. Mr..
Kirkpatrick is suing the accident in-
surance company for $4,000 for the
loss Of his left arm by an accident at
the Iowa Central depot last March.
This case was tried in November, re-
sulting in a verdict for the plaintiff
for the full amount asked, but on
account Of an error in the court In
structions to the jury, new trial was
granted to the defendant.
After celebrating almost ten hours,
the jury returned $533.41 verdict for
the plaintiff in the case OF Childs vs..
Thompson, at / O'clock this morning.
This was the second trial Of the case,
and the verdict in the other trial was
$500 for the plaintiff. 1t Is claimed
the defendant sold the plaintiff a stock
Of goods at Colfax at an generalization,
in exchange for the candy kitchen then
owned by the plaintiff. Suit was
brought on the grounds that the plain
tiff had no chance to invoice the goods
before the close of the transaction. The
sheriff levied an attachment on the
stock and fixtures of the defendant
yesterday forenoon. Mr.. Childs has
not decided definitely as to what he
will do in the future, but we under
stand he expects to move his family
and locate in some other, Iowa town.
