this vicinity, which have for their OBJ
ject the retaking of the Mexican town
across the Rio Grande from here.

GANG PLANK FELL;
Two DIE, SEATTLE
SIXTY PERSONS DROPPED In.
To WATER WIEN ABOUT
TO GO TO TACOMA.
Most Of Injured Only Slightly Bruised
Pier Was Crowded-Plank Was a
Worn-ou Afair-Big Steamer Could
Not Be Moved for Fear Of Causing
More Oath by Revolving Propeller.

Seattle.-TwO persons are known to
have been drowned and 40 or more were
injured Sunday when the adjustable
end of temporary passenger gang
plank at the Colman dock dropped, pre-
cipitating 60 persons into the water as
they were preparing to board the Sound
steamer Flyer, for Tacoma.
The Dead.
Mrs. G. v. Learned, Seattle.
Carl Bruder, 1-year-old son of Mrs.
C. Bruder, of Seattle.
The child was dead when taken from
the water and Mrs. Learned died on the
pier.
Most of the injured were only slight
ly bruised or cut by striking against
piling and the hull of the Flyer when
they fell into the water, and all will
recover.
The Flyer had JUST discharged her
passengers from Tacoma and was pre-
pairing to load for the return trip.
Sunday Crowd on Pier.
The pier was crowded with passen-
gers who were pressing persons on the
gangplank in their eagerness to get
aboard.
The gangway was freight slip that
had been rugged up for passenger use
after the steamship Alameda demolish-
ed the main waiting room Of the Col
man dock when she crashed into the
pier few weeks ago.
The plank was adjusted by worm
block, and it is supposed that this had
become sprung SO that the cogs did not
fit perfectly. A defective cog broke
under the weight of the crowding pas
sengers, and the shock of the inch drop
was sufficient to strip the cogs and let
the end of the plank fall into the water,
the screaming passengers rolling and
sliding down the steep incline into the
water between the wharf and the
Flyer.
| Unable to Move Steamer.
The water was dotted with frantic
persons struggling to reach the boats
which were lowered from several near
by vessels.
The Flyer could not be moved because
her whirling propeller would have chop
ped the struggling people to pieces and
it was difficult for the small boats to
get to those caught between the vessel
and the pier, although all were finally
rescued.
1t is believed that every one on the
gangway when the accident happened
has been accounted for, but to make
certain that none went to the bottom
and was caught in the piling, divers
were ordered to explore the slip thor
oughly.
After working two hours the divers
reported that they found no bodies at
the bottom of the slip, and the coroner
is confident that all who fell into the
water have been accounted for.
Newton John, colored bootblack
leaped from the wharf when the acct
dent happened, and saved several
women.
The public service commission has
decided to make an investigation.

Homer Davenport's First Dollar.

Homer Davenport, the brilliant car
toonist who died recently, earned his
first dollar as helper to an elephant
man called Spotty (even Davenport
never knew his real name), with the
W. w. Cole show. Davenport retained
his love for and interest in animals all
his life. 1t was evidenced in the large
stock farm, which, despite his enor.
nous salary, almost bankrupted him.

ever others may have done, none have done more for Alabama than George s. Houston. Pre- eminent as his great ness was, MT. Houston was not un- sehooled in the affairs of the public when he was called to the chair of the governorship in 1874. He had seen much of public life Beginning life as law yer in 1881 he was made a legislator the next year, then came a career as a solicitor fin his district, and within 10 years after entering on life, he was sent to Congress. His career in Con- gress was prolonged and notable one. With one slight intermission he was re- tained in Congress for IS years, extend ing from 1S41 to 1852 It was generally conceded in his district that he was an invincible candidate, for one after another of some of the most prominent men of the district were defeated by him, and some of them more than once.
 Ills congressional career was dis tinguished by his positions as chairman of military affairs, chairman of the ways and means committee and chair man of the judiciary. If this distinction has been exceeded by any one the in stance is not recalled. Certainly up to that time it had never been true of any other, and was matter of comment at the time.

' Well, now, said the good woman, that's s what I've often hearn 'em say, an empty barrel sounds the loudest" Gov ernor Houston used to relate this incl dent with great gusto.
 Many were the anecdotes related of him as the retrenchment and reform governor of the state. One of these H. illustrates the rigid management of af- fairs under Governor Houston. It was reported to him that the wells for the supply of water on the capitol grounds were in an unsaVory condition and need ed to be rid of their unwholesome wa ter, each of which contained a great deal. He caused 1t to be known that he was seeking one who would do the work at the lowest figure of clearing out the'wells. The cheapest offer made was $7. The economic genius cudgelled his brain a bit, and the happy thought occurred to him of inviting the fro companies of the city to enter contest

The Evangelical Union, headed by Mor- ison, was independency again. It was an other proof that the Congregational salt is needed in the Presbyterian system Morrison was a gigantic student. In the desert of hyper Calvinism he had found the treasure of Gods free, unlimited grace and his soul sang aloud as one who findeth great spoil. Debates on predes- tination at that time would attract a throng of Scottish people, and when Fair barn entered the ministry of the Evan gelical Union at Bathgate he passed from the drill of tireless and exacting profes- sors in Edinburgh University mad the The ological Academy of the Union Into that more exacting world of eanny metaphysics and breaking hearts which made his par ish Morisons example and Morrison s vision were the foundation therefore of the life so grandly closed this year. The example was the conquest of knowledge, at all eosts-to know and not to pretend. The vision was the love of God, open to all men through the cross of Christ
 How well Fairbairn got hold of the ex- ample set by Morrison is illustrated in an anecdote now told by Vice Chancellor Sir Alfred w. w. Dale of Liverpool.

 A mind so supple and memory per feet were applied to the mastery of his torie Christianity. and then to the under standing of the modern scientific world. It was his destiny to bridge a gulf opening wider and wider before Protestantsm. The problem facing this modern age. was whether the new scientific intellect would conquer and cast out the religious in- stnet, or whether belief in the Bible could and would survive, side by side with what seemed the monstrous claims of the new science.
 Now that so much of the battle Is over and we have learned to read our Book of Genesis without denial of the facts, for instance, of geology, we may easily forget the toilers who helped to make our way SO plain. But they sweat as 1t were, blood to save us from the horrors of the great despair. This means that in the day when GeTman was an almost unknown tongue in English theology Fairbairn was stu dious of the results gained by German thinkers. He believed and taught that the truth of God is not irrational. but reason able. that discord between scientific facts and religious facts is ultimately impossi- ble, and therefore a great fupction of Christian preaching is to join the author ity of the church, the authority of the Bible, the authority of spiritual instincts and the authority of reason Into one aii- thority. accordant and supreme.
