ECHOLS PRESIDENT
Os the Great American Protective'
Association
OF THE ENTIRE ORDERIN AMERICA
He Is the Supreme Ruler'For
the Time Being
ATLANTA FURN SHES THE MAN
Who Fills That Fecular Position and Who
Will Travel in the Int rest of the Secret
Political Organization That Prof sea to j
Keep Religion Out of Politics *u Il s
Ccu itrf.
Atlanta, July 13. —Mr. John W. j
Echo’s, a piominent lawyer of this city, ;
occupying an office in the Equitable build- 1
i ng, was on the Ist of May, at the meet- j
iug of the Supreme Council of the Ameri- i
can Protective Association in Washing-I
ton City, elected supreme president of ;
that order. He is now in the northwest, j
and while’out on his present trip will.visit ■
Alaska, and will spend several days in j
Sitka, the capital of that territory, On i
his return he will spend some time in San
Francisco and other portions of California, *
coming by the extreme southwest, and |
will reach Atlanta about the Ist of Sept- 1
ember.
Mr. Ecbcls is a native of Pennsyl
vania, having been born and reared
m that state, and lived there until a
few years ago, when be moved to At
lanta. He now owns a beautiful
home on Hurt street in Inman park.
He has long been a member of the A.
P. A., and has held office of import
ance in the order heretofore, but he
was never before its supreme com
xnander.
Tiavels in Interest of the Order.
Mr. Echols was elected for one year
at a salary of $2,500 and his traveling
expenses, and is required to travel in
the interest of the order during the
term of his office, but is permitted to
visit his home on an average of once
a month. ,
The American Protective Associa
tion is a secret organization, and its
members claim it was organized for
the purpose of preventing the intro
duction of religion into politics, claim- .
ing to make war on any religious de-1
nomination that attempts to influence
the political views of its members or :
to usurp temporal power.
That is intensely anti-Roman Cath
olic no one doubts, as it never lets an i
opportunity pass of making bitter,
warfare on that religion.
Fight on Atlantiang.
Everybody remembers the fight the
order made on Chief Connolly in his
last race for chief of police. Some of
its members claim also to have been |
the partial means of defeating Judge i
Calhoun for ordinary and Mr. Barnes 1
for sheriff, two of the most popular
men in the city. I
They claim to have a membership of
3,000,000 voters in the United States, and
while there is no way of disproving this ,
claim, it 'is hardly probable that the '
membership has grown to any such pro
portions.
Said to Have Interviewed McKinley.
It is claimed also that a prominent
member of the order called on the Re
publican nominee for president of the
United States and obtained from him an
expression of his views on Romanism,
and that the conference was satisfactory.
Major McKinley would no doubt deny
this charge.
The highest office in the order being
held by a resident of Atlanta will very
likely have some effect in increasing the
membership in this city. j
Stole Twelve Thousand Dollars.
I
Denver, July 13.—Private Detective
Edward Sclessiuger of Cincinnati has ,
arrested John S. Pierce, aged 33, In this '
city, on a warrant charging him with
the larceny of $12,000 from Sol Sharp &
Co., poolroom proprietors of Covington.
Ky. Pierce, who was confidential clerk
of Sharp & Co., disappeared March 4,
and the theft was discovered. Pierce
was trailed through various cities in
Canada to New York and thence to
Denver. He arrived here three weeks
ago and was joined later by his wife.
Wants Schools to Observe a “Bird Day.*
Washington, July 13.—An appeal for
the observance of a “Bird day” in the
schools throughout the country has been '
ordered by the agricultural department.
The object is to devote a day to be set
apart once a year, or to be combined
with “Arbor day” to instruction in the
value of our native birds and the means
of protecting them from want and de
struction. The idea originated with
Superintendent of Schools Babcock of
Oil City, Pa. It has been adopted al
ready in two cities, Oil City and Fort
Madison, la., and Secretary Morton, the
author of “Arbor day” and indorser of
the “Bird day” movement, wants to see
the latter extended generally.
A Michigan Saving. B ,nk Suspends. I
Lansing, Mich., July 13. The Peo
ple’s Savings bank of this city failed to
open its doors Monday morning and will
go into the hands of a receiver. The
bank is capitalized at $150,000. Failure
to realize on its assets to meet constant
withdrawals is given as the cause of
suspension. The savings deposits have
been reduced to less than $40,000.

ENDEAVORER’S LAST DAY.
Early Morning Prayer Meetings Held In
lOver Thirty Churches.
Washington, July 13.—For the last
day of the fifteenth annual convention
, of the International Christian Endeavor
convention, the weather was all that
could bo expected in the midst of sum
mer.
J The skies were clear, and although
the sun shone warmly, the heat was
I nicely tempered by a smart northwest
| breeze that made the bunting and
streamers on the big tents and along the
streets and avenues stand out bravely
| and encouraged thousands of the vis
itors to venture forth from their church
quarters and tents between services on
short trips to visit the sights of the city
I which they had been prevented frdm
seeing because of the protracted spell of
I bad weather.
I The animating purpose of the conven
: tion in arranging the program for the
I last day began to wind up with a gen
j nine revival effort, and to this end “con
■ secrated” was the keynote of the day’s
: work. The early morning prayer meet
i ings in the 30 odd churches which once
i formed the rallying points of the vari
| ous state delegations were devoted to
j this topic; the evening services in the
• eight meeting places had' the same ob-
I ject and the forenoon meetings in the
: tents, although primarily in the nature
of international rallies, were strongly
tinctured by the evangelistic spirit.
| For the benefit of the Endeavorers
I who breakfasted early- and were ready
' and eager to begin the day’s work be
| times. President G. S. Burrough, D. D.,
lof Crawfordsville, Ind., conducted a
bible book study in the New York ave
nue Presbyterian church between the
hours of 8:30 and 9:30 o’clock. The topic
was chosen from the First Corinthians
(practical Christianity). This consumed
the time up to the opening of the big
tents for the forenoon services.
LIVELY CORRESPONDENCE.
Our MinUter to Rumlh Complains That He
Is Not Treated Courteously.
Washington, July 13.—The greater
portion of the labors of Mr. Breckin
ridge, minister to Russia, during the
past year, is revealed by the published
foreign relations of the United States.
Trouble seems to have followed an in
struction from the state department to
' protest against the practice of Russian
consuls in the United States of refusing
to vise passports of American citizens
going to Russia if they happened to be
of the Jewish faith.
| At the point where the publication
closes he was obliged to bluntly inform
the Russian government that the United
j States could not acquiesce in the opin
-1 ion of such foreign tribunals in the
. United States. Mr. Breckinridge’s
' presentation of his case was formally
i approved by Secretary Olney. Another
important subject considered was the
' absolute insistence of the Russian gov
ernment on its right to punish any Rus
sian who falls into such power after be
coming a citizen of the U nited States or
1 any other country.
j The correspondence between the two
governments on this subject was so
spirited as to lead Minister Breckinridge
1 to complain to Secretary Olney that
Prince Lobanoff was lacking in court
esy.
; So far as the correspondence has pro
' gressed the Russian government insists
on their right to punish these citizens
if they return to Russia. On the other
hand Mr. Breckinridge insists that
proper warning has been given to Rus
sian Jews in the United States to keep
away from Russia.
A Train Robber Captured.
Ottumwa, la., July 13.—Word has
been received from Dawson of the cap
ture of Ely, the train robber, for whom
the Burlington secret service officers
and Pinkerton’s have been searching
for a year and a half. In company with
I Frank Bateman, Ely held up passenger
train No. 4 in the suburbs of Ottumwa
about 6 o’clock on the evening of Feb.
i 26, 1895. The robbers secured over $5,-
000 in cash and escaped. Bateman was
captured shortly after at Moberly and
I was sentenced to the penitentiary for
i five years. Ely escaped to Mexico, and
this is the first that has since been heard
of him.
Rainstorm In Ohio and Kentucky.
Cincinnati, July 13.—A heavy storm
of rain caused considerable damage in
southern Ohio and.northern Kentucky..
Only a little portion of it touched Cin
cinnati, but at Newton, ten miles away,
the wind was terrific, causing consider
able damage to fences and crops. Pri
vate dispatches from Kanawaha river
, tell of the rise of that river of 14 feet
, in an incredibly short time, sweeping
away a Cincinnati camping party on its
shbre. Fortunately the nearby high
' ground saved their lives. There are
rumors, however, of the loss of life.
Killed One of Hlg Assailants.
Columbia, S. 0., July 13.—At Rich
burg, Chester county, J. B. Drennen, a
youn2 man of prominence in the com
munity, killed O. D. Kennedy, a well
to-do farmer, and wounded James
Creech, a livery stable man of the town.
The trouble grew out of the two last
named men taking offense at a bill be
ing sent them for goods purchased at
the store of Drennen & Gill. They vis
-1 ited the store while intoxicated and at
tacked Gill, a man over 60 years old.
They flourished knives and sticks, and
swore bloody vengeance. Young Dren
neu succeeded in getting the men out
of the store, telling that he would pro
tect the old man. Shortly after Ken
nedy and Oreecn returned with drawn
knives, saying they would kill Drennen.
The young man met their attack at the
store door. He fired five shots, killing
Kennedy and wounding Oreech.

DISCREDITED REPORT
Spanish Officials Do Not Eclitve Antonio
Maceo Is Dead.
MEMANTS PROBABLY MISTAKEN
Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee Pays a Visit
to Weyler
AMERICAN MUST BE WELL TREATED
Thought to Have Confounded the Report
of Antonio’s Death With the Repeated
Statements That His Brother, Jose, Had
Died from Wounds Received In a Recent
Battle—Cuban War News.
Havana, July 13.—1 n official circles
it is not believed that Antonio Maceo,
the insurgent leader in the province of
Pinar del Rio, is dead, as reported by
some merchants who arrived here from
that province. It is believed that the
report of Antonio Maceo’s death was
confounded with the repeated state
ments from Santiago de Cuba that his
brother, Jose Maceo, died from wounds
received in a recent engagement there
between the insurgents and the Spanish
troops.
Because of the rumored ill treatment
of prisoners, accounts of which were
published not long ago in New York,
Consul General Lee visited Captain
General Weyler and insisted that
Americans be better treated in the fu
ture. The American prisoners at Fort
ress Galana have written a letter to a
New York paper, which recently pub
lished the story of alleged outrages.
The prisoners declare that they are well
attended; that they are well treated by
the chief official of the fortress, and
that his assistants are perfect gentlemen.
George Aguirre, an insurgent cap
tain, who is said to be an American cit
izen, is the the welldressed man hereto
fore reported to have been captured in a
bout by the gunboat Antonio Lopez,
near Bacuarauao. Aguirre is in soli
tary confinement at the navy yard. He
says that he was on his way to surren
der with his boatman, Aguillerme, and
Colonel Joseph Delgade. Delgade, who
has also been imprisoned, says before his
capture Aguirre threw overboaad papers
and a revolver. Owing to Aguirre’s
claim to American citizenship the au
thorities here will await orders from
Madrid as to whether he shall be tried
by military court or according to the
civil law.

troops lost 15 men and have fortified the
bay of Taco.
The manager of the plantation of Mi
Rosa has been detained on the charge of

During recent skirmishes in the prov
inces of Santa Clara and Havana the
insurgents left 11 killed on the field, in
cluding one captain. They also left five
wounded men in the hands of the troops,
and the latter captured 13 prisoners.
The troops had two men killed and
Major Jaime and a lieutenant and nine
soldiers wounded.
The insurgents commanded by Zayas
passed near Alquizar, this province.
The insurgents fired upon a Mantan
zas train near Navajas, and at ether
points. The lieutenant, in commanu vs
the escort was wounded.
Insurgents Burning: Farms.
The insurgents have burned many
farms between Puerto Padre and Ma
niabon plantations, in the San Manuel
district, after having dislodged the la
borers from their houses, which were
also burned.
la addition, the insurgents burned’the
plantation of Chaparra and. the farms
of Parada Taita and Manuel Guavin
cyon, and several villages.

Friends made a trip recently between
Key West and Moloma, province of Pi
nar del Rio, in nine hours.
The governor of Havana has sus
pended the city council of Guauabacoa,
consisting of 25 aidermen. The major
ity of them were autonomists. The sec
retary, accountant and several clerks
were turned out of their offices.
Reports from Santiago de Cuba con
firm the announcement of the death of
Jose Maceo.
As a result of skirmishes in Santa
Clara province, the insurgents left 14
dead in the field. The troops sustained
the loss of four wounded.
Juan Herrera and Antonio Capote
have been sent to the African prisons.
Alabama Miners on Strike.
Birmingham, Ala., July 13. Five
hundred ore miners at the Ishkooda
mines, six miles below the city, are out
on strike. The contention is for more
wages. Checks for commissary trading
are issued every evening and regular
Say days. The mines are operated by
. W. Worthington & Co. of this city,
and an attempt will be made to get
some of the miners to return to work
and thereby break the strike. Deputy
sheriffs have been sent to the place to
prevent trouble, as it is thought the
striking miners will try intimidation to
keep the men from going to work.
JONES WAS ELECTED
Committeemen Lost No Time In Choosing
a Chairman.
THE ABKAHSAB SENATOR ACCEPTS
The Gold Men Were Not Gener
ally Present
BUT HARRITY WAS AS A PROXY
Nation*! Headquarters Will Probably Be
Established In Chicago Instead of New
York—Bland Wants to Go Back to Con
gress—The Populists of Kansas Indorse
Bryan—Republican Senators to Confer.
Chicago, July 13. —Senator James K.
ftmes was elected chairman of the Dem
ocratic national committee. It had been
generally understood for some time that
he would be selected, although not a
member. When the committee met
there was considerable discussion as to
whether it was the best policy to com
plete the organization now or at some
subsequent meeting. It was finally de
cided to elect Mr. Jones at once.
The chairman was called in and made
a speech, saying he was deeply sensible
of the honor and accepted the position
because of the interest he felt in the
cause of silver. The members from the
gold states did not generally attend the
meeting, although there were some no
table exceptions. Mr. Harrity was there,
having the proxy of E. C. Wall of Wis
consin. An interesting feature of the
meeting was the fact that the tempo
rary organization was presided over by
Mr. Harrity, a gold standard man, and
Mr. Hugh O. Wallace, another gold
man.
Among the gold states not represented
were Maryland, Massachusetts, Minne
sota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York and Rhode Island. Mr. Bryan
was present during the greater part of
the time the committee was in session.
Senator Jones was directed to select
an executive committee of nine mem
bers of which he should be chairman.
He said he was too tired to make the
selection at once and was given such
time as he desired. He was also em
powered to select a temporary secretary.
It is understood that the former secre
tary, Mr. S. H. Sheerin of Indiana, will
be appointed.
The subject of the headquarters was
discussed, but it was decided to defer
the selection until a subsequent meet
ing, the temporary headquarters in the
meantime to be at such place as the
chairman should designate.
The executive committee, to be ap
pointed. was directed to confer with
the notification committee ami the nom
inees -to arrange the notification pro
gram.
The meeting finally adjourned at 11:20,
Mr. Bryan remaining until adjourn
ment. After the meeting, Congressman
Mcßae of Arkansas said that there was,
in his opinion, a probability that the
national headquarters would be estab
lished in Chicago instead of New York,
where they have always been before.
He said:
“Unless the eastern states can demon
strate that they will give the ticket
enough votes to make it worth while,
there is no reason why we should waste
our energies there. It will be better to
do our work near the center of the ter
ritory of the party’s strength and near
the doubtful states.”
Bland Wants to Go to Congress.
Liberty, Mo., July 13.—The Demo
crats of Missouri have turned to Bland
to lead the party in Missouri this fall as
their candidate for governor. He has
received many telegrams and letters the
past few days urging him to become a
candidate. He made up his mind sev
eral years ago that he did not want to
be governor, preferring to continue his
flgjit in congress for the- people of the
entire country. He said that he would
not be a candidate for governor; that
he did not want the nomination, and
under no circumstances would he en
ter the gubernatorial race. He made
this statement in the most positive and
emphatic manner, leaving no doubt that
he meant it and that further effort on
the part of his friends to induce him to
become a candidate for governor would
be useless. In this connection Mr.
Bland said he was a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for congress in
this, his old district. He desires to go
back to congress to make the fight for
free silver in the house.
Kansas Populists indorse Bryan.
Topeka, July 13.—Conventions were
held Saturday in 45 counties to choose
delegates to nonpartisans’ free silver
convention, which meets here Wed
nesday to send delegates to the national
convention in St. Louis. Democrats,
Populists and Republicans participated
in the meetings, and in every county
the nomination of William J. Bryau
for president was indorsed and the dele
gates instructed to vote at the Topeka
convention only for men who will sup
port his nomination. Several Populist
county conventions were also held, all ,
of them indorsing Bryan for president.
Bolting Republicans to Confer.
Manitou, Colo., July 13. Senator I
Teller, who has been a guest of one of ’
the hotels here, was Sunday joined by I
Senator Duboise of Idaho and Congress- I
man Hartman of Montana, awaiting
the arrival of Senators Cannon, Petti- I
grew and Mantle, who are expected on
Wednesday, when a conference will be
held. Senator Teller will return to
Denver. He will be in Manitou again
Wednesday, however, aud at this meet-
ing an'aMress will be issued as to tlie
course of the Republicans who left the
St. Louis convention.
Lincoln People Are Not Pleased.
Lincoln, Neb., July 13.---Dispatches
to the effect that Mr. Bryan had con
cluded to receive the notification com
mittee at Madisou Square Garden, New
York, set Lincoln people wild. Added
to this was a quasi indorsement of
Omaha as official headquarters during
the campaign, and as a consequence
many hearts are down. Unless some
tangible contradiction is speedily given
to the rumors, it is expected that the
ardor of many enthusiastic people will
be considerably dampened. Local Dem
ocrats say he will certainly remain in
Lincoln, but it is also known that they
do not speak by the card. The present
attitude of the average Lincoln man is
on the defensive. There is a heavy Re
publican majority in this city, but it
appears to be the aim of all to speak in
the highest praise of the personal char
acter of Mr. Bryan, which is above re
proach, but in a decidedly qualifying
tone practically. So long as the nomi
nee at Chicago must necessarily have
been a Democrat, they are glad that it
is Bryan.
Opinion of a Colorado Judge.
Glenwood, Springs, 0010., July 13.
Judge H. C. Caldwell, A-hen asked his
opinion of the work of the Democratic
convention, replid: “The wisdom of its
action amounts to an inspiration. No
better man or sounder platform has been
presented to the American people by
any party in a third of a century. It
marks an epoch in the political history
of this country. If McKinley is the
Napoleon of the gold standard forces,
Bryan is the Wellington of the allied
silver forces and the historical parallel
will be complete except that this mod
ern Napoleon, after his Waterloo, will
go to the headwaters of Salt Creek in
stead of St. Helena.”
Senator Jones Favors a Change.
Chicago, July 13.—Members of the
Democratic National committee ar>
unanimously in favor of establishing
subheadquarters of the committee at
Chicago. Many of them wish the main
headquarters removed from New York
and brought here. The members of the
committee still remaining in the city
discussed this proposition at an informal
meeting held in the headquarters at the
Palmer House. Senator Jones of Ar
kansas, before leaving for Washington,
said:
“There will be another meeting of the
national committee sometime during the
next three weeks, during which the sub
ject of changing headquarters will be
more fully discussed. You may say
that in all probability the campaign
of 1896 will be directed from headquart
ers located at Chicago. I am in favor
of the change from New York for
many reasons.”
Bynum Says He Won’t Support isryan.
Indianapolis, July 13. Ex-Con
gressman William D. Bynum says in an
interview: “I have already said that I
could not support the Chicago platform
and ticket. Personally I like Mr. Bryan,
but his views are so at variance with
what I believe to be for the best inter
ests of the country that I would be false
to my convictions were I to support his
candidacy.”
Meeting of the Notification Subcommittee.
Chicago, July 13. —The subcommit
tee of the notification committee met in
the Clifton House and decided to let the
members of the notification committee
return to their houses, when they will
be informed in a few days as to notify
ing Bryan and Sewall of their nomina
tion. This was decided by the execu
tive committee of the convention.
Watterson Wants Another Ticket.
Louisville, July 13. —The following
cablegram was received from Geneva,
Switzerland, by Mr. W. N. Haldeman,
president of The Courier-Journal com
pany:
Another ticket is our only hope. No
compromise with dishonor. Stand firm.
[Signed] Henry Watterson.
A Richmond Paper Hints at a Bolt.
Richmond, July 13.—The Richmond
Times (Democratic) says: “Our worst
fears have not only been realized, but
new and horrible doctrines have been
added in the Chicago platform which
cannot possibly bind a Democrat who is
unwilling to abandon the fundamental
principles of his party.”
Chase Declares For Bryan and Sewall.
Lewiston, Me., July 13. Solomon
Chase, the originator of the greenback
movement of 1874 in Maine, aud who
has been spoken of for president on the
Populist ticket, has declared for Bryan
and Sewall. He advises the Populists
to indorse them at St. Louis.
Big Fire In St. Louis.
St. Louis, July 13.—Fire was discov
ered in the boiler room of the Merchants*
Terminal elevator, located at Second and
Biddle streets. Although the fire de
partments responded promptly, the
building was completely enveloped in
flames on their arrival. The northern
part of the city was illuminated for
many blocks aud such heat thrown out
that the work of the firemen was diffi
cult, the heat being almost unbearable.
About 30 minutes after the fire broke
out a 200 foot smokestack fell, narrowly
missing a number of firemen below.
Twenty minutes after a wall fell, which
necessitated the removal of engines on
that side, the wall collapsing shortly
after. The amount of insr ratice is at
this time unknown. The elevator con
tained many thousand bushels of grain;
the exact amount is not known.

COLLAPSE OF A SAWMILL.
Two Men Killed and Three Seriously In
jured In Lincoln County, West Virginia.
Huntington, W. Va., July 13.—Two
men were killed and three were seri
ously injured at Sharp & Co’s sawmill
on Vernatter’s creek, in Lincoln county,
by the east side of the building collaps
ing. Fully 20 men were employed in
the mill at the time, and it is a miracle
that any of them escaped with their
lives.
The killed are Thomas Sharp, one of
the proprietors, and T. E. Pullen, an
employe. The seriously injured are
Otto Sharp, son of the owner; James
Skeans, Fied Albert and Charles Witch
hall. Mr. Pullen was not recovered for
more than an hour, he being buried un
der several feet of debris. The build
ing took lire, and it was only through
the heroic efforts of those who escaped
injury that the entire ruins were not
destroyed by the blaze.
The sufferings of some of the injured
men were heartrendering, and their
cries for help and groans could be heard
from beneath the debris long before
they were rescued.
The loss cannot now be estimated,
but will go far into the thousands.
