Barbour Lathrop, bon vivant OF New
York, Boston, Chicago and San Fran
cisco, occasional visitor here and censor
of social lists, passed through Homo
lulu on the Chiyo Maru. A few years
ago Mr. Lathrop was guest of Homo
lulu and was quite the social lion. His
famous cotillion in Progress Hall will
be remembered by those who were for
tunate to be there, for Barbour was
very particular in those days and the
list was carefully pruned down to
well, it was something like rs or 80.
That was an elaborate dance and it
must be truthfuliy said that it was full
of innovations and was talked of for
days and weeks afterward. Favors and
the supper and all the appointments
were of the best. Mr.. Lathrop finally
felt that it was up to him to compile
social Blue Book for Honolulu and
he began his work of revision and Ho-
nolulu awaited with breathless interest
for the fatal day when the book should
be published. It never was. There.

an every day sort of $10a-week re-
porter on a daily newspaper somewhere
around Chicago. He was fortunate in
acquiring money by legacy and he pro-

own in every city he visited. Exclu-
siveness is his forte now but he is

The Nevada County picayune. (Prescott, Ark.) 190?-current, 1909-04-08

McGehee, April 6.-H. X. Nc
Dermott and Walter McKinnon,
a saloonist, are dead as result
of a controversy over the city
election held today. McDermott
was shot dead by a member of
a possee which captured him
after he had shot McKinnon.
The trouble started late in the
afternoon VIII en- McDermott
entered the place OF business of
McKinnon and began to discuss
the election. He expressed the
opinion that S.A. NeSmith would
win for mayor, and offered to
bet 10 to l that J.E. Erwin would
be defeated. McKinnon stated
his willingness to take some of
that money"
McDermott flew into a rage
and used harsh words in connec-
ton with the election, which
were resented by McKinron, who
slapped him. Several blows were
exchanged before they were
separated. McDermott left, say
ing he was going after his gun.
Soon thereafter McDermott re-
turned to the hotel and fired a
charge of buckshot into McKin-
mons right side. The charge
took off the hand and tore a great
hole in McKinnon's abdomen.
A posse was quickly formed
and the man was chased down
the raildoad through the wards
to a point just outside the yards,
where he was overtaken. He
resisted arrest, and member of
the posse snot him, death result
ing Immediately.
McKinnon has been in business
here for a number of years and
has a wife and baby here.

hfcIslON AGAINST UNION PRESBYTERIANS

Nashville, Tenn, April s.
AFTER legal battle of two years
and the display of bitter feeling
on the part of the partisans OF
the two church bodies, the Su-
breme Court of Tennessee today
disagreed with the courts OF
Illinois, Texas, Kentucky and
other States, by holding that the
|union of the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church with the Pres
byterian Church, United States
bf America, was not valid, IN
30 far as it resulted in the extinc-
hon of the Cumberland Presby-
|terian Church as an organization,
bnd its rights to the property OF
the church. The opinion was
prepared by Justice Neal, and
covers more than ninety pages.
He goes into the whole question
Very fully, discussing its every
bhase, and arrives at conclusions
fiametrically opposed to those
advanced by courts in other
States.
The Supreme court of Tennes-
bee, upon the findings of Justice
Neal, holds in substance, that
the proceedin gs taken for union
we're not effective in the case to
merge the Cumberland Church
nto the Presbyterian Church,
D. S. A., and that the Cumber-
and Church remains an inde-
pendent organization. The Court
holds further that the complain
Rnts or unionists are now identi-
ped with the doctrine, policy and
organic body of the Cumberlands
put have united themselves with
mother and different ecclesiasti-
BAL organization.
The suit came up over the
fhurch property at Fayetteville,
ormerly held by the Cumber-
ends. The unionists set up a
lain to the property, and the

ly bemoaning the catastrophe,
mingled with the self-posSeSsed
but desperate tiremen, and the
fighting curious sightseers, was
impelling in its impression on all
beholders. In the presence Of
such a spectacle there was only
the noise of the roaring flames,
the clang of the fire gongs, and
hoarse orders of the fire fighters.
The multitude was silent, awed.
1t Will require many days to
reckon up the losses, but care
full estimate places the figures
slightly below the So, 900, 900
mark.
J. J. Newton, recently connect
ed with bank in Fort Worth,
lost his life in the fire. His body
was found in the yard of his
residence, but just how he came
to his death is unknown.
The Broadway Pres yterian
and the Broadway Baptist
churches, both handsome struc-
lures, were burned, as was also
the Reimers Memorial chapel at
tached to Broadway Baptist
church, and the Swedish Luther
an church.
The Texas and Pacific Rail
road was the heaviest loser. It's
roundhouse, repair shops, 20
engines, coal chutes, etc., were
burned, the total loss being esti-
mated by General Manager
Thorne at $160, 900.
1t is impossible at this time to
give a list of individual losses.
The hundreds of homeless
people were sheltered by friends
and charitable organizations and
prompt measures were taken to
extend relief. At the request of

Cumberlands resisted. The. de-
cision o. the Court is that the
complainants are not entitled to
the property, because as stated
above, the merger was illegal
and without force.
The bill of the camplainants,
or those who united with the
Presbyterian Church, U. S. "A.
is dismissed with costs. The
Supreme Court holds that the
Chancery Court at Fayetteville,
in which the original suit was
brought was without jurisdiction
over the lands and houses of
worship described in the bill,
situated in Davidson, Carroll and
Weakley Counties.
The property at Fayetteville
conveyed in 1852 to trustees for
the use and benefit Of the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church The
insistence of the defendants was
that this property had been
given for a specific purpose, for
the teachings of the doctrines of
the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, and that when an effort
was made TO seize this property
and use it contrary to thel T
doctrines, it was illegal and void.
Tennessee is the home of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church
1t was organized in Dickson
County over a century ago. 1t
has many adherents in the State.
A majority of its communicates
have accepted union, but there
is a resourceful and aggressive
minority which has never APP
proved of union. Ever since
union these factions have been
at dagger's points.

hours Saturday afternoon, one OF
the fairest sections OF Fort
Worth's residence district was
laid waste by fire. one life was
lost, six persons were seriously
| injured. a property loss of ap-
proximately 81, 900. 900 inflicted
and about 500 families rendered
homeless.
The fire started in d barn on
the corner Of May and Tucker
streets on the South Side, and
famed by a gale, which at the
time reached the velocity OF 4O
miles an hour, swept northeast
to the Texas and Pacific railroad
and east to the Santa Fe tracks.
The burned area is approximate
| ly one and a half miles long and
half a mile wide.
Many stories are afioat as to
how the fire originated, but the
most generally credited account
places the blame upon a party
of small boys smoking cigarettes
in a barn.
The. extreme dryness of the
buildings after "a drouth and a
high wind, rendered all efforts
by the combined fire departments
of Fort Worth and Dallas to
check the fire unaVailing, and
only the open space about the
Texas and Pacific tracks saved
the business district from de-
struction.
The burned distlict is part
of the best residence section OF
Fort Worth, and in addition to
the scores of magnificent homes
contained three handsome church
es, the Texas and Pacific round
house and many substantial busl-
ness and manufacturing plants,
the latter being along the rail-
road tracks.
Heroic efforts were made to
control the fire. The entire fire
departments of Fort Worth and
North Fort Worth were promptly
on the scene and in response to
telephone appeal, the Dallas fire
department sent detachment
which came by a special train
over the Texas and Pacific in
record time, and rendered valiant
service. Hardly had the Dallas
fremen finished their work here,
when they received an urgent
call to return home, as fire
threatened considerable section
of their home city. They were
promptly hurried aboard their
special train and rushed back.
The rapidity with which the
flames leaped from building to
building was amazing, the heat
in the surrounding streets was
intense and but few household
effects were saved. Many people
in the path Of the flames moved
their household effects into the
streets only to be licked up by the
flames before they could be cart
ed out of the burning zone.
The scenes in and about the
burned district during and after
the fire were awful in their
grandure and heart-rending in
their pathos. The spectacle Of

DEFEATS ATTACK
ON HIS AUTHORITY
Adjonrns Public Buildings COM
mittee Of Council and Retains
His Purchasing Power.

Alderman William X. Seeker, chair
a of the public buildings committee
Of the Common Council, defeated the
efforts of Aldermen Sehmitt and Ryan
last night to have him appoint a pur-
chasing committee of three by declaring
the meeting adjourned, although the OPP
position contended no motion had been
made to adjourn.
The chairman's action received the
support of Aldermen Smith and Wohl-
Earth, who alleged that they had made
and seconded a motion to that effect.
The effort to cause the appointment
of a purchasing committee was for the
purpose of relieving the chairman of
the responsibility he is alleged to have
taken wholly upon himself in purchas-
ing supplies. It is said that the oues-
ton will be brought up again, when
Aldermen Congleton and Hopping, the
other two members of the committee,
will be present.
