lleaver statesman swept everything
before him and magnanimously con
sented, iu tho interest of party har
mony, to tho nomination of the six
superior court judges, as the adminis
tration forces has desired. The con
vention, which lasted a scant throe
hours, no recess being taken, was mar
velously harmonious.
Judged by tho way the Quay and
Hastings forces hobnobbed within a
half hour after tho convention had
born called to order, the respective
chiefs setting the example by consult
ing with one another, it was not evi
dent that tho party lmd been rent in
twain during the past two months and
up to the very day of tho convention
by factionalism that was unprecedented
for its bitterness.
The success of Sonator Quay is re
garded as a masterly political achieve
ment. He lias secured control of tho
party organization in the Keystone
Htnte; has had himself elected state
chairman to succeed an active political
opponent, the latter himself placing
tho senator’s name in nomination, and
literally was the power at tho conven

Tho convention was announced to
meet at 11 o’clock Wednesday morn

On roll call all of tho 280 delegates
responded to their names and then
nominations for temporary chairman
were called for. Representative John

Senator Quay mado a motion which

ONLY MALES CAN VO I K
On the Adoption or K< jectlon of Utah’s
Const it 11 (ion.
The territorial supremo court of
Utah has rendered its decision on the
woman’s suffrage question, h" ding
that only male citizens arc entitled to
vote OB the adoption or rej etion of
the state constitution and for tho first
state officers. The basis for this de
cision, ns stated by the court, was that
the Edmnnds-Tnekcr act, which dis
franchised women in the territory of
Utah is still in force and applicable
until it is repealed,or the territory ac
tually becomes a state.
Chief Justice Merritt, democrat, and
Associate Bartcb, republican, agreed
in that view. Associate Justice King,
democrat, delivered a dissenting opin
ion, holding that the enabling net by
implication repealed the provision of
the Eclmunds-Tucker net, and that
women were entitled to vote on 1h •
constitution and for the first state offi
CALIFORNIA WILL BE ENLARGED

boundary line between California and
Nevada will result in giving California
a strip of country aggregating several
hundred square miles. The survey
concerns only the boundary line be
tween California and Nevada south of
Lake Tahoe
from political influence and control.
Tho resolution committe not being
ready to report, Chairman Hastings
called for the next order of business,
and Colonel Henry Hall mounted the
stage and placed tho name of Benja
min Haywood, of Mercer county, bo-
foro the convention for state treasurer.
There wero no other nominations and
Mr. Haywood was chosen by acclama
tion.
Sonator Quay, in a brief speech,
then presented tho names of the six
republican members of the superior
court for nomination. Tho judges
were appointed by Governor Hastings
on June 27th and the senator moved
that they all bo selected by acclama
tion. The nominations were made as
the senator requested.
Mr. Gilkeson then withdrew as a
candidate for state chairman, and
moved that Senator Matthew Stanley
Quay be elected state chairman.
The delegates outdid themselves
when Mr. Gilkeson had concluded, and
the scene was the most impressive of
the convention. Men shouted until
they were hoarse, and hats, canes and
handkerchiefs were waved frantically
The love feast was now at its height
and the perspiring participants forgot
the extreme heat in giving expression
to the harmony programme. Quay
was elected by acclamation.
After a somewhat lengthy wait, tlie
committee on resolutions reported the
platform, which was read by District
Attorney Graham, of Philadelphia.
The financial aud tariff planks are
as follows:
“We accept unreservedly the decla
ration enunciated by the republican
Lutional convention of 1892, that we
demand the use of both gold and sil

Two Deaths Result and Sixty Foop'o
Badly Hurt.
Two persons killed and about sixty j
wounded and several cars wrecked was
tho extent of a terrible accident that
Impponodto a Knights of Pythias ex
cursion train near Pope’s ferry, on tho
Southern railway twelve miles from j
Macon, Ga. Tho train consisted of an |
engine,baggngo car and seven coaches.
There wore between 100 and 500 per- !
sons aboard. Tho excursion was being !
run under the auspices of the uniform j
rank, Knights of Pythias, of Macon in ■
celebration of the anniversary of the
uniform rank. The train left. Macon I
at 8 :05 o’clock Friday morning dos- ;
tilled for Indian Spring, when* it was ,
intended to havo a basket picnic,and a |
competitive drill by the members of j
the uniform rank for tho beautiful j
gold Freemen modal.
The train was in ehorge of Engineer
Ilairo and Conductor Eaeutt, both of
Atlanta.
Tho accident, happened about 8:35
o'clock, a half hour after the t rain had
left Mncon. The train iH said to have,
been running twenty-five mih-s p<|p
hour at. the time. Exactly how the
accident occurred iH not known. It
happened on a curve, and on a trestle
about ten foot high. 'The tender of t he
locomotive first left the track and
commenced running on the crossties
of an embankment. Then the wheels
of the baggage car and the wheels of
two coaches behind the baggage car
also loft the truck and ran on
the crossties a short, distance until
tho trestle was reached. This gave
way, precipitating the baggage ear
and tho two coaches below, a
distance of about ten feet.. The ear
and two coaches turned over. In
falling they broke loose from the ten
der. Tho tender did not leave the
crossties and the locomotive remained
on the track. Just before t ho coaches
left tho track the passengers felt the
coaches give a sudden jerk from the
quickness that the engineer applied
brakes, lie evidently saw that the
tondor had left, tho trqek'and put. on
brakes. What caused the tender to
first leave tho track has not been as
certained.
On tho train were many women and
children, and a largo number of
Knights of Pythias and other men.
Instantly all was confusion. Tho
moans and cries of tho injured and
badly frightened added groatly to tho
terrors of tho situation. It was soon
ascertained that Mr. J, A. Kennedy, a
well known citizen of Macon, had been
killed, and many othors injured, some
seriously and a few, perhnp**, fatal
ly. The scouo of the accident was
four miles from Holton, tho norti*-
ost tolograph station. As soon as
posable a mcssftgg was tout to
the Southern railwrfy officials at Ma
con, '"and several private telegrams
wero received by citizens. The first
reports were exaggerated nut] very
alarming. It. was said that fifteen
porsons bad been killed and sixty
wounded. In an incredibly short, time
the startling news flashed through tho
eity and a multitude of anxious people
assombled at the Southern depot to
hear authentic intelligence com ctno g
relatives and friends. At 10:1 •’clock

HIE NOTED DIVINE’S SUNDAY
DISCOURSE
Subject : “Surpassing Splendor.'
Tkxt: “Kvn lmth not soon nor car hoard.”
—T Corinthians it., t).
“I am going to houvon! I am going to
heaven! Heaven! Heaven! Heaven!” These
were the IjihI words uttered a few days ago
by my precious wife as she ascended to he
with fled forever, and is It not natural as
well ns Chrislianly appropriate that our
thoughts In' much direeled toward the glori
ous residence of which Ht. Paul speaks in
the text I have chosen?
Tho oily of Corinth has been called the
Furls of antiquity. Indeed for splendor the
world holds nosueh wondorto-duy. It stood
on an Isthmus washed by two seas, the one
sea bringing the commerce of Europe, the
I other the commerce of Asia. From her
Wharves, iu the construction of which whole
kingdoms had been nhsorho l, war galleys
I with three hanks of oars pushed out and
! eonlounded Ihe navy yards of all the world.
| Huge handed machinery, such as modern
invention cannot equal, lifted ships from the
sea on one side and transported them on
i trucks across the isthmusand set thorn down
in (lie sea on the other side. The revenue
officers of the city went down through the
olive groves that lined the beach to collect a
tariff from nil Nations.
'I’llA mirth or all people sported in her
.iV*nninn games, and the beauty of till lands
sat in her theatres, walked her porticoes and
threw Itself on the altar of her stupondotts
dissipations. Column and statue and temple
bewildered the beholder. There were white
marble fountains into which, from apertures
at the side, there rushed waters everywhere
known for health giving qualities. Around
these basins, twisted into wreaths of stone,
there were all the bounties of sculpture and
architecture, while standing, as if to guard
the costly display, was a statue of Hercules
of burnished Korlnthlan brass. Vases of
terra cotta adorned the cemeteries of the
dead- - vases so costly that Julius Cmsar was
not satisfied until he had captured them for
Home. Armed officials, tho “Gorinthlurii,”
paced up and down to see that no statue was
defaced, no pedestal overthrown, no has re
lief touched. From the edge of tho city a
hill arose, with its magnificent burden of
columns and towers and temples (1000 slaves
awaiting at one shrine), and a citadel so
thoroughly impregnable that Gibraltar Is a
heap of sand compared with it. Amhl all
that strength and nmgnitlconeo Corinth
stood and defied the world.
Oh, it was not to rustics who had never
sceg anything grand that Ht. Paul uttered
this text. They had heard the host music
that had come from the best instruments in
all tho worlds They had heard songs float
ing from morning 'porticoes and molting in
evening groves. They had passed their
whole lives away among pictures and
sculpture and architecture and Corinthian
brass, which had been molded and shaped,
until thorp was no chariot wheel in whioh it
had not sited, and no tower iu which it had
not glittered, and no gateway that it had not
adorned.
Ah, tt was a hold thing' for Paul to stand
there amid all that and say: “All this ts
nothing. Those sounds that come from tho
temple of Neptune are not music compared
with the luirmony of vffiieh I speak. These
waters rushing in the basin of Pyrene are not
pure. These statues <»f Bacchus and Mer
cury are not exquisite. Yon citadel of
Acroeorlnthus Is not strong compared with
that which I niter to tho poorest slave that
puts down his burden at that brazen gate.
You, Corinthians, thlnlc this iB a splendid

A Mother Bereft of Four Childi
AVI til In an Hour.
An unusual and horrible oocnrouco
took plaeo near tho town of Bullivun,
Mo., Friday morning.
Three young children of a widow
named Jenkins -wore wont to the barn
to lmut eggs. Tho barn lias been in
fested with snakes for several years
and has always been considered a dan
gerous place on that account. Tho
eldest of the three children thrust his
arrn into an opening iri the barn floor
and began feeling about for a ben’s
nest. Biuldenly tho child withdrew
his hand uttering a cry of pain.
Ho said a hen hud peeked his lin
ger. Tho other children inserted
their arms in tho opening, one by ono,
with tho same result. Tho children
set nj) cries of fright as the pain in
their hands increased. Tho mother,
who was standing by an open well
some distance away with a two months’
old infant in her arms, became ex
cited and leaving the baby rushed to
the assistance of the children. The
baby fell into the well and was
drowned. The other three children
died in agony before medical aid
could be obtained. A nest of rattle
snakes was found later undo* ihe barn.
SHERIFF CAN SHOOT.
Attorney General of Texas Delivers
an Opinion as to the Sheriff’s Duty.
Attorney General Crane, of Texas,
lias handed down liis opinion in the
Corbott-Fitzsimmons prize fighting
case in reply to an interrogatory of
Sheriff Cabell, of Dallas county, as to
whether he bad any legal right to
shoot down peoplo while attempting man
to suppress the fight. The attorney
general suys that in effect tho
fighters, referees, etc., constitute
an unlawful assemblage and the stat
utes of the state make special pro
visions for tho disbanding of such un
lawful assemblages; that tho sheriff is
empowered to summon a posse or even

You sob my text sots forth tho idea that,
however exalted our ideas maybe of heaven;
they come far short of tho roglity. Romo
wlso men have been calculating how many
furlongs long and wide is heaven, and they
lmvo calnulated how many Inhabitants there
are on tho earth; how long tho earth will
probably stand, and then they come to this
estimate that after all the nations had been
gathered to heaven there will ho n room for
each soiii, a room 16 feet long and 15 foot
wide. It would not bo largo enough for me.
I am glad to know that no human estimate
is sufficient to take tho dimensions. “Eye
hath not seen, nor ear hoard” nor arithmetic
calculated.
I first remark that wo can in this world gel
no ideaof the health of heaven. When you
wore a child and you went out in the morn
ing, how you hounded along tho road or
street- you had never felt sorrow or sick
ness! Perhaps later--perhaps iu those very
summer days—you felt ,u glow in your
cheek, and a spring in your stop, and an ex
uberance of spirits, ami a omarness of <*y<*,
that made you thank God you wort) permit
ted lolive. Tho nerves wero harp strings,
and the sunlight was a doxology, and the
rustling leaves were tho rustling of the rohe.i
of a great crowd rising up to praise the
Lord. You thought that you knew what it
was to bo well, but there is no perfect health
on earth. Tile diseases of past generations
come down l<> us. Tho airs that float now
on the earth are unlike those which floated
above paradise. They are charged with im-
purllles and dlsteirtpers. The most elastic
and robust health of earth, compared with
that which those experience before whom the
gates have been opened, Is nothing but sick
ness and emaciation. Look at that soul
standing before the throne. On earth she
was a lifelong invalid. Hee her step now aud
hear her voice now! Outch, if you can. one
breath of that celestial air. Health In all the
pulses! Health of vision. Health of spirits,
mmortal health. No racking cough, n«
io consuming fevers, no
xhaustiiig pains, no hospitals of wounded
men. Health, swinging in the air. Health
flowing in /ill tho streams. Health blooming
bn tho banks. No headaches, no sido.iohos,
no back aches. That child that died in the
agonies of croup, hear her voice now ringing
in ihe anthem! Thai old man that went
bowed down with the infirmities of age, see
him walk now with the step of an immortal
athlete forever young again! That night
when the needlewoman fainted away in the
garret, a wave of the heavenly air resuscitat
ed her forever. For everlasting years, to
lmvo neither ache nor pain nor weakness nor
fatigue. “Eye hath not seen it, ear hath not
heard il.”
] remark further that we can in this world
get no just ideaof tho splendor of heaven.
Ht. John tries to describe it. He says, “The
twelve gates are twelve pearls," and that
“the foundations of the walls are garnished
with all manner of precious stones.” As wo
stand looking through the telescope of Hi.
John we see a blaze of amethyst and pearl
and emerald and sardonyx and ehrysoprasus
and sapphire, a mountain of light, a catar
act of color, a sea of glass and a city like the
Ht. John bids us look again, and we see
thrones—thrones of the prophets, thrones of
the patriarchs, tJironosof the angels, thrones
of t he apostles, tliroimsof I he martyrs, throne
of Jesus, throneof God! And we turn round
to see the glory, and it is—-thrones! Thrones!
Thrones!
Ht. John bids us look again, and wo see
the great procession of the redeemed passing.
Jesus, <m a white horse, leads the march,
and all the armies of salvation following on
white horses. Infinite cavalcade passing,
pa sing; empires pressing into line, ages
following ages. Dispensation tramping on
after dispensation. Glory in the track of
glory. Europe, Asia, Africa and North aud
Bouth America pressing into lines, islands
of the sea shoulder to shoulder. Genera
tions before the flood following generations
after the flood,'and as Jesus rises at the head
of that great host and waves His sword in
signal of victory all crowns are lifted, and
all ensigns flung or t, and all chimes rung,
and all halleluialiu chanted, and some cry,
'•Glory to God most highl” and some,

“Eye hath not seen it,* oar hath not heard
il.” Hklm from the summer wafers the
brightest sparkles, and you will get no idea
of the sheen of the everlasting sea. Rile up
the splendors of earthly cities, and they
would not make n stepping stone by which
you might mouut to the eity of God. Every
house is u pulneo. Every step a triumph.
Every covering of the he/ul a coronation,
Every meal is a banquet. Every stroke
from the tower is u wedding bell. Every
day is a Jubilee, every hour a rapture ami
every moment nil ecstasy. “Eye hath not
n it, oar hath not heard it.”
remark further we can got no idea on
earth of the reunions of heaven. If you
have Over, been across the sen and met n
friend, or oven an acquaintance, in some
strange eity, you remember bow your blood
thrilled and how glad you were to see him.
What, then, will be our joy, after we have
inssed the sens of death, to moot in the
•right city t>f tho sun those from whom we
lave long been separated! After w«*hnve
men away from our friends ten or fifteen
years, and we come upon t hem, wo seo how
UlYorontly they look. The luvir luis turned,
and wrinkles hare come In their races, ami
we say, “How you have changed!” Rut, oh,
when we stand boforo tho throne, nil cares
gone from the face, all marks of sorrow dis
appeared. and feeling the joy of that blessed
land, methinks we will say to each other,
with an exultation we cannot now im
agine. “Glow you have changed!” In
tills world we only meet to part. It is

we say it in a light way, “Goodby!” and
sometimes with anguish in which the soul
breaks down. Goodby! Ah, t hat is the word

the word that comes in to close the Christ
mas chant. Goodby! Gnodhv!

That group is constantly being augmented.’
They aro going up from our circles of earth
to join it—little voices to join the anthem,
littlo hands to take hold of It in the great,
home circle,little feet to dance in thceteriml
glee, littlo crowns to he east down before the
feet of Jesus. Our friends are in two groups
—a group this side of tho river and a group
on tiie oilier side of tho rivor. Now there
goes ono from this to that, and another from
this to that, and soon we will all be gone
over. How many of your loved onus lmvo
already entered upon that blessed plaeei If
t should take paper and pencil, do you think
i uould put them all down? Ah, my friends,
the waves of Jordan roar so hoarsely we can
not hear the joy on the other side where
their group is augmented. It is graves hero
and coffins and hearses here.
A little child’s mother had died, nml they
comforted her. They said: “Your mother
has gone to heaven. Don’t cry,” and, the
next day they wont to tho graveyard, and
they laid the body of the mother down into
ground, and the littlo girl came up to tho
verge of the grave, aud looking down at the
body of her mother said, “Is Ibis heaven?”
‘Oh, wo have no idea what hquvon Is. It Is
the grave herd. It is darkness here, but there
is merry making yonder. Methinks whim a
soul arrives some angel takes it around to
show it the wondors of that blessed nlucc.
The usher angel says to. the newly arrived:
“These are the martyrs that perished at
Piedmont ; these wore torn to pieces at the
inquisition; this totno throiuj of the great
Jehovah;. Ill Is is Josuh!” “I am going to son
Jesus,” said a dying negro hoy. “I am go
ing to see Jesus,” and the missionary said,
“You are sure you will seo Him?” ”0b,
yes. That’s what I want t;0 go to heaven
for.” “Hut,”, said the mlsssoiPyi'y, “suppose
that’Jesus should’^6' away from henvhi*
what then?” “I should follow him,’* said
the dying negro boy. “But- if Jesus went
down to hell, what then?” Tho dying boy
thought for a moment, and then ho said,
“M/issa, where Jesus is there can bo no hell!”
Oh, to stand in His presence! That will
be heaven! Oh, to put pur hniid in that
hand whioh was wounded for us on tho cross
—to go around amid all the groups of the
redeemed aud shake hands with prophets
and apostles and martyrs And with our own
dear, beloved ones! That will ho tho great
reunion. We cannot imagine Ir now, our
loved ones seem so far away. When we are
In troublo and lonesome, they don’t scorn to
come to us. Wo go on the banks of tho Jor
dan and call across to them, hut they
don’t seem to hoar. We say; “Is it well
with tho child? Is it well with the loved
ones?” and wo listen to hear if any
voice comes hack over the water. None!
None! Unbelief says, “They aro‘dead and
extinct forever,” hilt, blessed bo God, wo
have a Bible that tolls us different. Wo open
it and llnd that they are neither dead nor
extinct; that they never were so much alive
/is now; that they aro only waiting for our
coming, and that wo shall join them on the
other side of the river. Oh, glorious re
union, wo cannot grasp it now! “Eye hath
not seen, nor car hoard.
. ither have entered
into the heart of mail the things which God
hath prepared for them that love Him.”
I remark again, wo can in this world get
po idea of tho song of heaven. Yon know
there is nothing more inspiriting than music.
In the battle of Waterloo the Highlanders
were giving way. and Wellington found out
that the hands of music ha 1 ceased p aying.
Ho sent a quick dispatch, telling them to
play with utmost spirit a battle march.
The music started, the Highlanders wore
rallied, itn<1 they dashed on till the day was
Wo appreciate the power of secular
music, but do we appreciate the power of
sacred song? There is nothing more Inspir
ing to me than a whole congregation lined
up oil tho wave of holy melody. When wo
sing some of those dear old psalms and
tunes they rouse all the memories of the
past. Whv, some of them were cradle songs
In our father’s bouse. They are .all spark
ling with the morning dew of a thousand’
Christian Sabbaths.
They were sung by brothers and sisters
gone now, by voices Unit were aged and.
broken in tho music, voices none Ihe loss
sweet because they <IDl tremble and break.
When r hear these old songs sung it seems us
if all the old country meeting homes joined
in the chorus, and Scotch kirk and sailor’s
Bethel and Western cabins, until the wholo
continent lifts the doxology and the scepters
of etornhy beat lime to the music. Away
then with your starveling tunes that chill
the devotion of the sanctuary and make the
people sit silent when Jesus is coining to
hosanna.
But, my friends, If music on earth Is so
sweet, what will It be in heaven? They till
know the tune there. Methinks tho tune of
heaven will he made up partly from tho
songs of earth, the best parts of all our
hymns and tunes going to add to the song of
Moses anil the Lamb. All the best singers of
all the ages will join it—choirs of while
robed children. Choirs of patriarchs! Choirs
<>r apostles! Morning stars clapping their
cymbals! Harpers with their harps! Great
anthems of God roll on, roll! on! Other em
pires joining'the harmony till the thrones
are full of it and the Nations all saved.
Anthem shall toucti anthem, chords join
chorus, and all the sweet sounds of earth
aud heaven he poured into tho ear of Christ.
David of the harp will bo there. Gabriel of
the trumpet will be there, Germany re
deemed will pour its deep bass voice intb tb'o
song, und Africa will add to the music with
her matchless voices.
1 wish we could anticipate that song. I
wish iu tho closing hymns of tho churches
to-day wo might catch an echo that slips
from tho gates. Who knows but that when
the heavenly door opens to-day to let some-
soul through there may come forth tho
strain of the jubilant voices until we catch
it? Oh, that as tho song drops down from
heaven it might meet half way a song com
ing up from earth!
