Tho 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 tion. Tho convention was announced to meet at 11 o’clock Wednesday morn ing, but it was was within live minu tes of tho noon hour when State Chair man Gilkeson rappod for order. On roll call all of tho 280 delegates responded to their names and then nominations for temporary chairman were called for. Representative John B. Robinson, of Delaware county, was made temporary chnirmau by acclama tion. Senator Quay mado a motion which whs seconded by Representative Stono that tho committee on permanent or ganization bo instructed to report tho namo of Governor Hastings for perma nent chairman of tho convention. It was adopted. Senator Quay thou presented tho following resolution, which was re ferred to the committee on resolutions: “Resolved, That vrr decry the grow ing use of mouey iu politics and tho corporate control of legislatures, mu nicipal councils, political primaries and elections nnVl favor the enactment of legislation and enforcement of laws to correct such abuses. “We earnestly insist upon a form of civil service which will prevent tho- enslavement of public officers and em ployes and tho compelling of those appointed to preserve tho peace to confine themselves to their duties, which will insure ahsoluto freedom and fairness in bestowing state and county and municipal contracts, and will punish any form of favoritism in granting them, which will forbid tho Ufa FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER (5, 1895.

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 The New Survey Will Give Her a Slice of Nevada Territory.

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 ver money with such restrictions and Tho State Executive Committee Session at Atlanta.

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.

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 oily.

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 the militia to his aid, and in caso tho fighters will not cease their unlawful conduct, then, that the statutes spe cially provide that homicide is justifia ble when absolutely necessary to sup press riot or unlawful gatherings. The attorney general concludes his opinion by saying that, while he does INMAN’S BODY FOUND. Two Boatmen Find Hie Broker’s Body on South Beach.

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, '\fl(>*ai>na tot>«Bon of David!” nnd *omc, "Worthy is (he Lnnb that was slain!” till nil tin* exclamations of endearment ami homage in the vocabulary ot heaven are c.vhaustdd. ’ ami there corn*) up surge utter..surge oi “Amen! Amen! Amen 1 ” “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 goodb.v, good by. Farewells floating In the all*. We hear it /it the rail car window and at the steamboat wharf. Goodby! Ghildron •disp it^nnd old age answers it. Hoinetimos 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 that ends the thanksgiving banquet; that is the word that comes in to close the Christ mas chant. Goodby! Gnodhv! Rut not so iu heaven. Welcomes in ihn air, welcomes at the gates, welcomes at. the house of many mansions -hut no goodby. 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! In tho athletic sports which took place at Tipperary, Ireland, J. M. Ryan, tho British champion, broke tho world’s record for the high jump, clearing .<Mx foot four and a half lnehMi
