Show.

Each day of the fair claims its
special and alluring features, and to
their full enjoyment the week will
be largely devoted. In point Of social
interest, the horse show this evening
and tomorrow evening will be accord

of the plans and preparations that
have combined to make the event

tions. The Daughters of the Con-
federacy will enter the list for honors
in the carriage class, and will have
at least six competitions in a contest
calling for artistic display. A num-
ber of single traps viii also seek TO
gather prizes, while the skill OF
Southern girls as equestriennes viii
form an unusually interesting part
of the program. Several accomplish

have signified their wish to join in
the exhibition of an art by no means
lost, and will be present on Wednes-
day. A11oSetuGI 6aAd ntSAtS a

DISASTROUS WRECK
In LOCAL YARDS
LOG TRAIN OF THE INTERSTATE
LUMBER COMPAY COLLIDES
WITH FREIGHT TRAIN
ON THE SOUTHERN.
The Locomotive Belonging to Lumber
Company Was Practically De-
molished-Pilot Knocked
Oh Southern Engine.

a rather disastrous wreck occur
red near the yard limits of the South
ern Railway in this city on Monday
morning, when a westbound freight
coliided with logging train operated
by the Interstate Lumber Company.
The accident occurred about seven
O'Clock, the two trains having col
nded near the city waterworks, at
the point where the side track lead
ing to the lumber plant intersects the
main line of the Southern. Neither
train was going very fast when the
collision took place, and while no
one was hurt the property damage
was rather serious, one of the loco
motives having been practically de-
1y damaged and several cars were
derailed
Accounts of how the accident oc-
Cured differ materially, and it will
probably require an official investi-
cation to fix the responsibility for
the accident. From the best infor-
nation obtainable it seems that the
two trains met at the point of inter
section of the main line and the spur
track, and the impact followed. The
Southern train was in charge of Con-
ductor Harrison and Engineer Has
sell, while Conductor Raley and En-
gineer Powell had charge of the lum-
ber train. The approaching trains
were in full view of each other sew
eral seconds before the collision took
place, and both engineers tried to
shut of steam, but failed to stop |
their engines in time to prevent the !
wreck.
While the two trains were moving !
slowly when they came together, the !
force of the impact was sufficiently /
great to damage both engines and |
cause several cars to leave the track. |
The engine attached to the logging
train was practically demolished and
the pilot was knocked off the South
ern engine, while four or five of the
twenty cars constituting the logging
train were derailed. None of the
members of either crew were hurt
as a result of the wreck.

DIR. DAKIN ELECTED
DEAN OF FACULTY
THE BRILLIANT RECTOR OF ST.
PAUL'S CHURCH ELECTED
DEAN OF ST. .MARY'S
COLLEGE FACULTY.
The Honor Came Unsought, and Is
Being Considered by Dr. Dakin,
Who May or May Not Ac-
cept the Position.

| Rev. W. E. Dakin, the popular and
beloved rector of st. Paul's Episcopal
church in this city, has been unani-
St Mary's College, the school recent
| ly established by the Mississippi dio-
cese of the Episcopal church and To-
Gated at Vicksburg. The position was
rendered to DR.. Dakin without solici-
| tation, and its proffer is considered
high tribute to his ability both as
scholar and man of executive abil-
| ity, as the management of the school
would be practically safe in his
hands. Bishop Bratton, who has
been elected president of the institu-
ton, has manifold duties and cannot
devote much time to the school, and
Dr. Dakin, as dean of the faculty,
would be in full control of affairs.
Dr. Dakin, while he appreciates the
honor bestowed upon him by his cleo
ton to the deanship of st. Mary's
faculty, has not definitely decided to
accept the position. He would leave
Columbus with regret, and it is need
less to say that this regret would be
shared not only by the members of
his congregation. but by the people
of the city generally. St. Paul's
church has never had a more eff
cient or a more popular rector than
he, and it is generally conceded that
his place would be hard to fill. DR..
Dakin has been in Columbus little
more than three years, and tangible |
evidence of his painstaking and con- |
scientious work is to be found on |
every hand. In addition to numerous |
improvements in the church which |
came as a result of his efforts, he |
has organized a local chapter of the |
Brotherhood of ST. Andrew and has |
awakened among his parishioners an
interest in charitable and religious
work which prior to his coming did
not exist. There is mutual feeling
of confidence between rector and pa
and to sever the pleasant
relations which have existed for three
years would be a source of regret to
all concerned.
While the salary received by DR..
Dakin as dean of ST. Mary's faculty
would naturally be much larger than
that which he. now receives, the ques-
ton of money will not be considered
by him in determining whether to
accept or reject the offer. He is well
here, and, as stated above,
hates to leave Columbus, but the po
sition which has been rendered him
offers a wider field for effective work
than he now holds, and this fact may
lead him to accept the offer. As
lean of the new institution he would
naturally come in contact with hun
Ireds of students from all portions
Of the State, and would thus be af-
'orded opportunity for exerting no
Die influence over these young ladies
n training them to lead good and
Useful lives. While his parishioners
md the public generally would like
yery much to have him remain in Co
umbus, they would not seek to per-
uade Dr. Dakin to decline the posi-
ion should a sense of duty impel him
o accept it.

ties in the forefront of the news.
For Taft as well as for Bryan the
activity is to be well nigh ceaseless,
az for Sherman and for Kern, so on
down the line. Coming up from his
invasion of the South, the Republican

OF the week and then return to his
own State of Ohio for a day, there
upon making another light into In

Wayne.
Bryan will have Travelled in five
States before the week ends-In-
diana, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia
and New Jersey-inishing in New
York, where he will spend Sunday
IN rest.
His itinerary in Ohio was arranged
with the special aim of enabling him
TO reach with his arguments practic-
ally the same people who heard Mr..
Taft in his last tour there.
Mr.. Sherman. the Republican can
didate for the vice presidency, will
speak in Wilmington, Del, on Mon
day. and in Philadelphia Tuesday.
and will devote the remainder of the
week to meetings in New York State |
Mr. Kern, Democratic candidate
for the vice presidency, will spend
several days more In New York State. |
He expects to speak in Ohio on
Thursday.
Gov. Hughes, of New York, who
is campaigning for reelection. and |
Lieutenant Governor Lewis Stuyves-
ant Chanler, the Democratic oppo-
nent, will continue their speech-mak-
ing tours of the State.
Treasurer Ridder, of the Demo-
cratic national committee, will make
public on Tuesday an additional list
OF subscriptions to the funds for the
party's campaign expenses. The Car
negie Hall meeting in New York City
on Tuesday, at which former mem
bers of CleveIand's cabinets, includ-
ing Richard Olney OF Boston and Jud- +
son Harmon of Ohio. are TO speak,

New York, Aug. 21.---James s.

ference with President Roosevelt at
Sycamore Hill, it was developed that
the concensus of opinion was favor
able for the denomination OF Cover

The vice-presidential nominee said.
This statement unquestionably will

is possible that individuals will con
tinue to voice their protests.
Mr.. Sherman would not say what

ACITATORS WREAK
AWFUL VENGEANCE
Russian Revoutionists Slaughter Jew
ish Family Suspected Of Inform
ing On Them.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 21.--News has
reached here of the terrible vengeance
taken by revolutionists of Yurievka, in
Yekaterinoslav province, upon Jew.
ish family named Edelstein, who were
accused of giving information to the
authorities regarding the activities of a
band of agitators there. The latter i'm
mediately went to the home of Edel-
stein and threw two bombs through
the window and opened fire on the
family with revolvers, killing the
father, daughter, woman guest and
her child The mother, son, sonin-law
and two grand sons were wounded.
The revolutionists then retired in the
darkness and the wounded were taken
to hospital. Later well armed band
|of about forty or fifty men entered the
hospital, overpowered the nurses and
guards and shot to death the mother
and son, after which they made good
their escape.
