STRONG ADDRESSES ARE MADE Florida Wart Led in the Debate—Ala bamian Tells of Coal and Iron In His State —Courcill on Race Question. a l’lilia'lelphia special says: The delegates to the Southern Industrial convention Thursday considered the important question of waterways and their relation to the improvement of the country’s trade. An interesting discussion occurred on the value of an isthmian canal, the opinion of the speakers being that the proposed Nica ragua canal would be the most desira ble economical channel between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Hon. Bew ail C. Cobb, of Pensacola, led the de j bate on this subject. The Mississippi river and its tributaries were also dis cussed, the speakers giving reasons why the waterways of the south should be developed and utilized. J. 13. Gibson, of Birmingham, read a paper 011 "Iron and Steel Manufacture ; in the South,” uetailing the develop ment of the industry and showing the benefits to investors and manufactur ers. Two interesting addresses were de livered at the night session, one by Dr. William H. Tolman on the subject of improving the conditions of wage earners, and the other by W. H. Coun cils who spoke in behalf of the col ored race. J. B. Gibson, of the Commercial Club of Birmingham. Ala., was the first speaker at the morning session. He read a paper on “Iron and Steel Man facture in the South,” showing the growth o' that industry since the de velopment of the iron deposits was begun. Mr. Gioson said it had been known for many years that iron was abundant in Alabama, but the owners of land were not sufficiently wealthy to make the necessary equipments. "The export of pig iron from the Bir mingham district,” said Mr. Gibson, "began in 1897, and an average of 200,000 tons per annuam have since been exported. In 1900 the United States exported 286,783 tons of pig iron, and of this amount Alabama fur nished 238,615 tons. "When the Nicaragua canal is built, Alabama coal will supply the steam ships of the world; her iron, steel, tim ber and labor will build them, and the product of her industries will load them." The discussion on the Nicaragua ca nal was opened by Hon. Sewall Cobb, of Pensacola. Fla. He said in part: "Five hundred and fifty millions of people oi the far east, for half a cen tury have entreated us to open a high way through the narrow' strip of land that connects the two great continents of America, but we nave had at the helm of the ship of state men of lim ited maritime information and a deaf ear has been turned to their requests. “The twentieth century calls for hu man advancement. We of the south learned at the close of the war that if w r e would develop our resources the military arm must be subservient to the civil authority. "The Clayton-Bulwer treaty is only a pretext for delay. We cannot con cede the right of any nation to dictate either locality or manner of occupa iion to those whose mutual interests demand a work free from entangling alliances. Costa Rica. Nicaragua and the United States of America are com petent to decide what is best for their interests.” George H. Anderson, of Pittsburg, spoke briefly on the subject, express ing the opinion that the United States can build an isthmian canal without the help of England or any other na tion, world. The first speaker at the night ses sion was Dr. William H. Tolman, direc tor of the industrial betterment de partment of the League for Social Ser vice. He delivered an illustrated lec ture on "Movements for Improving the condition of the Employed.” W. H. Counclll, colored, president of the Agricultural and Mechanical college, of Normal. Ala., spoke on in dustrial education and its relation to race development. President Councill said he had been a slave boy and his experience at that time caused him to ; vow that he would some time devote . himself to the work of uplifting the 1 colored race. He asserted the solution j of the race problem was neither in the j question of franchise nor education, but rather in a proper understanding between the white people and the ne gro. An interesting incident of the ses sion was the presentation by General W. W r . H. Davis, of DoyUstown. Pa., ! of a captured confederate flag to the j South Carolina delegation.

THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERS VALLE, GA. MBS. KENNEDY CONVICTED. Young Kansas City Woman Sentenced to Ten Years’ Imprisonment for Murder of Her Betrayer. At Kansas City Saturday the jury in the Kennedy murder case brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree, and fixing Mrs. Kenne ly’s punishment at ten years in the penitentiary. When the verdict was read this re markable twenty year old prisoner, whose cool, indifferent manner has for 1 five months baffled the jail officials who have had her in charge, looked t .straight ahead of her. She neither burst out crying nor moved a muscle. Later she expressed her interest, but nothing more, in the formal calling by the court clerk of the cases pending against her father, C. W. Prince, and her brothers, Bert and Will Prince, who are charged with conspiracy to kill Kennedy. While Judge Wofford was dismiss ing the jurors who had sat on the case for twelve days and reached their ver dict after eleven hours’ deliberation, the prisoner sat with her chin resting on her hand. A reporter asked if she had anything to say. Mrs. Kennedy ignored the questiop and continued to look at the judge. Later, when Mrs, Kennedy had been taken into a little room adjoining the court room and the crowd was beginning to leave, sobs and moans were heard. Tney came from Mrs. Prince, the mother of the prisoner, and Mrs. Leon, the girl’s sis ter. C. W. rrince, the father, was trying to pacify them, while Bert Prince paced up and down the corridor sobbing and wringing his bands. Lulu Kennedy sat thoughtful and silent, gazing fixedly before her. Taken to her cell she maintained her calm man ner. She refused to discuss tlie ver dict. The murder of Kennedy occurred an the evening of February 10th last in tile New Ridge building, in the cen ter of the business district. Kennedy, who was contracting agent of the Mer chants’ Transportation Company, was sitting at his desk in his office wiien called by Mr. Cross, the woman’s phy sician. Mi’s. Kennedy followed the physician closeiy and asked her hus band if he intended to live with her and receiving a negative answer, be gan shooting. She fired five shots, all of which took effect and any one of which would have proved fatal. Kennedy dieu almost instantly, the only words escaping his lips were: “It wasn’t her gun.” Before taken away by the police the woman kicked the prostrate man in the face, remarking: "You will never seduce another girl!” Thomas Kennedy, a brother of the man, tried to wrest the revolver from Mrs. Kennedy’s hand when he was struck down by' her brother, Will Prince. The couple were married in the cir cuit court on February 4th, and two days before Kennedy was killed he brought suit to have the marriage set aside, alleging duress and charging W. C. Prince, the girl’s father, and Will Prince with forcing him to marry her at the point of a revolver. The three Princes are now awaiting trial on a charge of conspiracy to kill Ken nedy. Mrs. Kennedy was twenty years old and Kennedy was twenty-eight. An appeal will be taken in the case. SOUGHT WATER; FOUND OIL. Gusher Is Struck Unexpectedly In Lawrence County, Alabama.

NUMBER OF DEAD A PROBLEM Steamer Northfield Collides With the Mauch Chunk and Fearful Panic Ensues Among Passengers of Both Vessels. A Now York special says: The wooden side-wheeler, Northfield, which has been in the service of the Staten Island Ferry Company for the past 3S years, was rammed Friuay night by the steel hulled propeller Mauch Chunk, used as a ferry boat by the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The collision occurred just off the Staten island ferry slip at the foot of White hall street, and in less than ten min utes after the Northfield, which was crowded with passengers, sank at the outer end of the Spanish line pier in the East river. Tne Mauch Chunk, which was badly damaged, landed the two dozen passengers who were aboard of her. Over a hundred of the passengers of the sunken Northfield were dragged out of the -water by peo ple along the snore and the crews of the fleet of river tugs which promptly responded to the ferry boat’s call for help. A few of the Northfield’s passengers were hurt in the accident, and the po lice believe that some lives were lost. Captain Daliel Gully, of the tug boat Mutual, who saw the ferry boats crash together, says that immediately after the collision between twenty-five and thirty of the passengers leaped into the water and many of those perished. Captain Gully also declares that he is sure over a hundred of the North field’s passengers were drowned. The captains of the other tug boats who were early on the scene, however, are inclined to think that the disaster was not so serious as regards the loss of life. Thus far no dead bodies have been recovered. The reason for such a difference of opinion as to the extent or the disaster is that the wildest excitement prevail ed on the Northfield. The .ag Mutual saved in all about seventy-five persons from the Northfield, and the tugs Unity and Arrow saved netween them 150 persons. Two policemen of the Oul Slip sta tion claim to have rescued nearly thir ty people between them. As soon as the erowu which had followed the sink ing ferry boat along tte river front were able to render any aid, they worked with a will, and in many in stances men sprang into the water to save life. The greatest service was rendered by the tug boats, which, as soon as it was possible, circled around the Noruifield and made a bridge to the Spanish line pier, and men and women clambered over the tugs to the shore. The swift running flood tide and the question of which boat has the right of way was the cause of the disaster. Captain Abraham Johnson was in charge of the Northfield and Captain S. C. Griffin was in command of the Maucn Chunk. Each lays the blame for the collision on the other. The officials oi the Staten Island ferry boat said that there were proba bly not over 600 passengers on the Northfield at the time of me collision. The passengers say that the usual rush crowd was aboard and that it numbered fully 1,200 men, women and children. Captain Abraham Johnson, of the Northfield, was arrested about mid night on a charge of criminal negli gence. MAY BE THIRTY VICTIMS. That Many Have Been missing Since Port Royal Mine Disaster. A dispatch from Port Royal, Pa., says: Rumors are abroad that more men than the eighteen first accounted for are burned in the Port Royal mine. The men from Smithton have been missing since tne night of the explo sion, and the story was circulated that the number of unknown victims would reach thirty. CABINET TALKS OF CUBA.

American hardware stores are to be started in London. There is a big demand for unskilled labor in Nfiw York City. New Zealand had last year G-13S fac tories, with 48,938 employes. The electric light linemen’s strike In Boston, Mass., has been won by the men. The Saturday half holiday in sum mer Is now' generally observed in the United States. Two hundred carpenters at York, Penn., have struck for $2 for a nine hour day’s w'ork. In the factories of Baden. Germany, 28.2 G of the workers are women and girls over sixteen. Chicago has a mounted policeman— Arthur J. Stiles —who claims to have stopped 140 runaway horses. The strike of 2500 employes of the National Cash Register Works at Dayton, Ohio, has been settled. Excluding 62,000 small craft, the commerce of the world is carried on by 45,000 vessels, with a carrying ca pacity of 57,600,000 tons. The London County Council some time ago passed a law that no one should shout to the annoyance of the public while hawking newspapers, but the law is not enforced. All the motormen and conductors on the street railway at Kingston, Out., have been locked out because they de manded an increase in wages of fifteen cents a day. The road is tied up. The Retail Grocery Clerks’ Union, of New York City, has prepared a pe tition to employers asking them to close their stores at 7 o’clock on Mon days, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. At a conference held in Albany. N. 1., between the directors of the Uni ted Traction Company and committees of employes of its Albany and Troy lines, all danger of another strike has been averted.

La„ and vicinity has been in a state of feverish excitement and unrest since John Gray Foster, a prominent planter, was shot and killed b\ Ii ince Edwards a negro employed on the Foster plantation, five miles east of the city. Armed posses of white men have been scouring the to capture Edwards. A uozen or more country for miles around in an attempt negroes are under arrest in Kinne brew's store, and their fate is uncer tain. Foster was widely known and very popular. He was a brother in law of Governor McMillan, of Tennessee, and belonged to one of the oldest fam ilies in Louisiana. There had been bad feeling for some time past between the negroes and overseers on the Foster plantation and Foster was appealed to to settle the differences. The planter started for the plantation, and upon reaching a negro cabin was fired upon and killed. There were a dozen or more negroes in the cabin and they -roke and ran in all directions. The overseers were quickly joined by white citizens, and it was not long before all the negroes were arreuted. a single exception be ing Prince Edwards, who did the shooting. Posses were quickly form ed and started on a hunt for tne ne gro, but as yet have made no further arrests. There were many wild rumors afloat throughout the day Thursday, the most sensational being that the ne groes in Kinnebrew’s store were in imminent peril of being lynched. This rumor proved to be untrue, although many threats are heard against the prisoners. The store where the ne groes are confined is guarded by a posse of twenty-five men armed with Winchesters, and unless sentiment changes, the disposition at present would inuicate that a majority’, if not all, of the prisoners will be let off with a thorough whipping. Edwards, if caught, will be burned or lynched. There is much feeling against “Proph et” Smith and Edward Washington, both of whom are under arrest. Smith is believed to be at the bottom of all the trouble, while Washington is said to have been active in aiding Edwards to escape. MASONS DRAW COLOR LINE. Grand Lodge Rescinds Resolution Rec ognizing Negro Orders. A special from Tacoma, Wash., says: The grand lodge of Masqjis have rescinded the resolution adopted two years ago recognizing negro Ma sonry. The action of the lodge at that time was severely criticised all over the United States, and as a result the next session of the grand lodge at tempted to return to the old establish ed principles, but the resolution was so artfully drawn that sister lodges re fused to construe it as an honest ex pression. Tne lodge has now in un mistakable language made its position known. MILLIONS FOR FRANCHISES. John Wanamaker Offers Stupendous Sum for Quaker City Streets.

Atlanta Striking Machinists Have Scheme to Keep Positions Vacant. The striking machinists of Atlanta, Ga., have put into effect a plan where by they hope to prevent their employ ers from securing men to fill the va cancies caused by the strike.
