ICri.stenoc of New ichool oi’ Medicine
lias Been Discovered.
St. Paul, Jane 4.—The American
Medical association met in annual ses
sion in this city today. Presklent.Reed
of Cincinnati, in his annual address,
said:
“The army reorganization law of the
last congress was inexplicable and inex
cusable. It grades the medical depart
ment for rank and promotion, and in
consequence for pay, below every other
department... and special corps of the
army, and with the exception of second
lieutenants it is graded below the line.
In accordance with its provisions, a
medical officer, to obtain a colonelcy,
must pass through three times as many
trials as an officer of either the quarter-
masurs, the subsistence, or the pay de
partments, more than twice as many as
an officer of the signal corns. The effect
of this discrimination is not only to
lower the rank and pay of the medical
officers, but must result in lessening the
efficiency of the corps by repelling men
of spirit and worth.
“When congress by enactment of the
law degrades, relatively, tire status of
an important body of medical men en
gaged in a public service, it strikes at
the status of every physician in the
country. - - .... —
“It becomes, therefore, the duty of
every member of the medical profession,
jealous of his rights, his prerogatives [
and the fair name lie may leave, his 1
children, to resent as' personal between j
himself and every member of congress I
who voted for this law the action of f
which cast a stigma upon our profos- j
sion.
• “It has been the opinion of many en- !
lightened members of the medical pro- j
fession that ihe means employed by tne j
general government for the protection !
and promotion of the public health are j
capable of improvement. The contii- j
tions today are precisely the same that j
they were ten years ago.
“I proclaim, events proclaim, the ex- j
istence of a new school of medicine. It |
is as distinct from the .schools of ,50years :
aero as is the Christian- dispensation - j
mim us pagan antecedent*, it is the
product ci convergent influences, of di
verse- antecedent origin. It acknowl
edges no distinctive title, it heralds no
shibboleth. It is a school of human tol
erance, of personal independence, of
scientific honesty. It makes.no procla
mation of completeness, no pretensions
to sufficiency. It recognizes that truth
is undergoing progressive revelation,
not ending today, but continuing
through the ages.”
DOWN IN A COAL MINE.

Eight 3Ien Perish as. the Result of an
Explosion.
Iron Mountain, Mich., .Tune 4:—By
the explosion of a quantity of powder
and the suffocating fumes that followed,
eight men were killed early today in the
seventh level of the Ludington shaft of
the Chapin mine. Suddenly there was
a rumble and smoke began pouring from
the mouth of the shaft. Rescuers hur
ried into the mine as soon as the smoke
cleared sufficiently and found the eight
miners, all of whom had been working
in that section of the shaft, lifeless.
The cause of the explosion has not yet
been determined.
Many children are Tendered fatherless
by the accident.
Only one man was disfigured, as if by
the explosion, and ho but slightly; the
others were completed covered with
black powder soot.
The men were using a powder-thaw
ing machine and it is thought neglected
to supply it with powder. It is believ
ed that the machine, becoming reahot,
set fire to the dynamite and the men
were stricken down by the deadly fumes
before they could escape.
The town is in mourning and work
at the mine is at a standstill.
THE VLADFONTEIN FIGHT.
Details Reported by the British Com
mander-in-Chief.
London, June 4.—Lord Kitchener, in
a d spatch from Pretoria, dated June 4.
says:
••Dixon’s report of the fighting at
Vlaafontein, 40 miles from Johannes
burg, Mav 29, has -just been received.
On cur side 1,450 mien, with 7 guns,
were engaged. The force was return
ing to camp at Vkidl'cntein, when the
enemy, under cover of the veldt, fired,
rushed the rear guard, consisting of two
guns of the Twenty-eighth battery and
330 men of the Derbyshires and the
yeomanrv. They temporarily cc^tured-
the cwo guns. When the remainder of
the force came into action the Boer3
were driven off, the guns were recap
tured and the Boer position was occu
pied.
“Our casualties were G officers and 51
men killed and wounded and 1 officer
and 7 men missing. One officer and 4
men have since died of wounds. Forty-
one Boers were killed on the ground.

Sewing Machines Kor the Women of
Jacksonville.
; Jacksonville, Fia., June 3.—Mayor
Bowden has received a telegram that
W. R. Hearst of the Now York Journal
had shipped to him it.'O new White sew
ing machines, which are expected to ar
rive in the city one day this week.
| Mayor Bowden said today:
“I want all women who ear^, their
livelihood by sewing to apply at once
i for machines. I have plenty now to fill
all the demands which have been made
upon me, and, after supplying the wo
men who have no one else to support
1 them and those who have sick husbands
and are compelled to use a machine for
! a living, I will rake the poorer people of
the town and supply them with ma
chines as long as they hold out, and in
I this way help some mother with a large
! family to make the necessary clothing
' for hbr children.
“This includes women who have done
sewing and in this way have in part
helped to support their families. There
are many men in the city who do not
earn money enough to supply their
large families with ail the necessaries of
life, and the wives of these men, who
will bring the proper credentials to
show that they are fire sufferers, and
that they lost their machines in the fire,
will be supplied.”

Story of the Collision Told In Detail.
Judicial Investigation of the Acci-
i dent Now In Progress.
Atlanta, June 5.—While the combi
nation passenger train, composed of cars
from Macon and Fort Valley, was run
ning into Atlanta yesterday morning
over the Southern road, another engine
dashed into it from the sidetrack lead
ing from the old East Tennessee shops
to the main line.
Three killed outright and many in
jured—some seriously, others slightly—
is the result of the accident. The first-
class coach of the passenger train was
overturned and completely wrecked.
The Pullman sleeper, next to it, had one
end crushed in, while the car ahead of
the firstelass coach was also damaged.
The Dead.
Those killed in the wreck were Mrs.
A. A. Lemon of McDonough, her little
daughter, Irma, and H. H. Vickers of
Flo villa.
Mrs. Lemon was the wife of Alexan
der A. Lemon, a prominent business
man of McDonough. Mr. Lemon is in
terested in the McDonough Mercantile
company, is the owner of the Brown
House at that place and has a large farm
near McDonough. His daughter, who
was killed, was about 8 years old.
Mrs. Lemon also had: one of her chil
dren, a baby less than a year old, in her
arms at the time the collision took place.
The baby was not injured. Her two
other children, a boy aud a girl, were
also on the train with her, but they es
caped injury.
Mr. Vickers was a prosperous young
farmer of Fiovilla. He was on his way
to Atlanta to have his eyes examined by
a specialist, and was accompanied by
his brother, N. H. Vickers, who escaped
with a few injuries. Mr. Vickers was
the son of Jacob Vickers of Fiovilla and
had been married about two years. He
leaves a wife aud child.

Oue 31au Arrested.
Mystery seems to cloud the direct
cause of the accident. G. B. Dnnton, a
yard conductor for the road, was arrest
ed, pending an investigation by the po
lice authorities.
Dunton declares he was noton the en
gine when it ran into the passenger
train, and does not know who was. He
says he did board the engine and rang
the bell to get hostlers to get the engine
off the switch that he might move his
own engine onto the main line to return
to the North avenue yards.
He says that after ringing the bell he
stepped off the engine, walked down the
tracks and was looking at the passenger
train when the collision took tiiace. He
was wounded over the left eve, while
his face was badly burned and scalded.
Wallace, the switchman, declined to
make any statement for publication.
He stated that what he had to say would
be brought cut during the hearing of
the case against Dunton of “disorderly
conduct,” which was booked against
him at the police barracks yesterday af
ternoon by the arresting officers.
Sior3 T of the Crash.
The accident occurred shortly after 11
o’clock yesterday morning just south of
the old East Tennessee shops and near
the glass factory. The combination
train from McDonough was coming into
the city at a livelj- rate when it was
struck by the other engine.
The first-class coach was the first
struck, and isjeaped forward and was
overturned. Its trucks were jerked
loose and fell in a heap between the
tracks. The impetus of the passenger
engine carried two cars which had been
wrenched away from the others many
yards up the track. The front of the
Pullman car “Arcturis” was crushed in
like an egg shell.
The engine which wrought all the
havoc was without cars. It had been
standing in the • railroad yards, when,
without warning, it passed down the
siding to the switch which connects
with the main line and caught the pas
senger train fairly in the side. Not con
tent with dealing one smashing blow,
the big engine, like a monster battering
ram of steel, continued to pound the
train until it wrecked itself.
The pilot was smashed into splinters,
the front of the engine beaten in, while
the rails were spread so that the big
driving wheels “straddled” the tracks.
The wreck was complete in an instant.
There was a deafening crash, the re
bound of the engine, then the hisses of
steam— silence for a moment, then the
cries of the passengers.
The civil authorities are now investi
gating the case.
Driven Out of Business.
New York, June 5.—According to
Charles Treat, collector of revenue of
the Secoud district, more than i<fo buck
et shops have been driven out of busi
ness by the restrictions imposed on them
in the amended war revenue bill passed
last March, while those that still exist
in the city have so changed their meth
ods of business as to observe the letter
if not the spirit of the law.
Injured by an Avalanche.
Chamonix, France, June 5.—Mr. and
Mrs. Guild of Boston, who with their

the Mont Blanc range, are progressing

them.
Uanuis Taylor Gives Advice to Ala
bama Convention.
Montgomery, Ala., June 4.—Hon.
Hannis Taylor, formerly minister to
Spain, was the principal speaker ac the
observance of the birthday of Hon. Jef
ferson Davis in Montgomery last night.
In conclusion he referred to the
question of debarring the negroes of
Alabama of the right to vote^CIn speak
ing of the assembled constituifoDal con
vention, he said:
“I would say to the council thus as
sembled that one thing is admitted ou
ail hands, and that is that asking for
the disfranchisement of the mass of ne
gro voters of undoubted validity can be
devised, provided there is among us a
spirit of patriotic self-sacrifice and self-
abnegation, coupled with the probabil
ity that a few of our own people may be
disfranchised, too.
“I would say that, as much as Tprize
the right to vote, I myself am willing
to surrender it to the state, ouiy and
forever, if such a sacrifice on ray part is
necessary for the common good. Havo
I the right to be vain enough to believe
that each one of you will not be willing
to do the same thing under the same
circumstances? When we contemplate
the terrible consequences of failure, can
we afford to temporize, to hesitate, to
imperil a great result, upon which our
very civilization hangs, because we dare
not appeal to a few of onr own people to
make a temporary sacrifice?
“My faith in the people is so firm, so
absolute, that I could not, at a critical
time like the present, hesitate for a mo
ment to go directly to them. To those
who doubt with the record of your past
before them, 1 can only say in the words
of the Master, ‘Oh ye of little faith. ’ ”

THE ALABAMA CONVENTION.
Three More Suffrage Schemes Are
Proposed.
Montgomery, Ala., Jane 4.—The fea
tures of yesterday’s session of the consti
tutional convention were three more
suffrage amendments by Captain Frank
S. White of Jefferson, Cecil Brown of
Talladega and S. C. Jenkins of Wilcox,
all prominent delegates.
Great interest attached to Captain
White’s scheme, because he was a lead
ing politician of Mississippi before re
moving to Alabama, aud his plan is re
garded as shedding light on the vaiue
of registration as a means of eliminat
ing the negro vote. It is remarked by
the advocates of the grand father scheme
that Captain White relegates registra
tion to the general assembly, but in
cludes the Louisiana idea in the consti
tution.
Mr. Jenkins includes the old soldier or
descendant scheme and makes a number
of other alternative provisions which
will practically take in the white race.
But to make sure he gives the legis
lature power to elect auy one to the
“office of voter” if he can come up
recommended by 12 of his voting neigh
bors.
Mr. Browne is the only member yet
proposing an educational qualification
straight with the whites protected by
the old soldier ana grandfather clauses.
Mr. Sanders of Limestone obtained
unanimous consent to withdraw from
his suffrage scheme a clause denying to
atheists the right to hold office, it being
in conflict with the federal constitution.

The evidence showed that there had

Sweat paid him $5 he owed him on an

Amusing Incident In a Railroad Wait
ing Room.
Burlington, N. C., June 4.—She was
standing in the waiting room at the de
pot yesterday evening, listlessly gazing
upon the open stretch of track that leads
towards the sunset, when suddenly
within her keu there appeard another
young lady walking rapidly towards
the station. The face of the first lady
mentioned flushed as the second party
drew near, and it was noticed that the
greeting was exceedingly frigid when
the second young lady entered the wait
ing room. They evidently knew each
other—in fact, knew each other too well
—and a young maa who had later ap
peared upon the scene knew the one en
tirely too well to please the other. And
thus the trouble brewed.
Lady No. 1, with features indicating
firmness and a determination to accom
plish her purpose, quietly removed a
ring from a finger of her left hand and
tossed it toward the young man in her
presence. Not a word was uttered, but
one could read volumes in the counten
ances of the two.
Lady No. 2 was quick to grasp the
situation aud likewise removed a ring
from a corresponding fiugei of the left
hand and returned it to the donor, who
now stood aghast, nervously handling
the rings. With a confiding glance the
ladies left the young mau in the wait-
ingroom, aud repaired to a safe distance
to compare notes.

New I’astor l ulled.
Richmond, June 4.—Rev. E. H. Wel-
ton of Wilson, N. C., has been called to
the pastorate of Marshall Street Christ
ian church, which is being temporarily
supplied by Rev. Dr. C. P. Williamson,
late of Atlanta. Dr. Williamson, came
here to conduct a large female school,
and having bought out the Richmond
Female seminary, cannot preach at Mar
shall street after this month.
The coroner’s jury returned a verdict
of willful murder, and Sweat is now iu
the county jail.
Faulkner was a widower and his
housekeeper was at the cowpen, only a
short distance away. Sweat called to
the boy standing beside the cart, tolling
aim to take the gun and “shoot the
i—n” woman, so she could not swear
against him. The boy took the gun and
fired at the woman, who ran for her life
across the field, the boy aud dogs follow
ing her until she took refuge in a swamp
near by.
Sweat, the slayer, is a county pauper
and a helpless cripple. When he was 6
or 7 years of age his entire body and
lower limbs were stiffened by rheuma
tism and sines has had the use of his
hands only. He can neither walk, sit
erect nor torn his head. He lies in a re
clining chair made to fit his body, and
spends his days sitting in that chair and
driving about the country in au ox cart.
Notwithstanding his condition, he has
a family of seven or eight children, and
is said to have a most violent temper.
For 15 or 20 years he has received a pen
sion of $5 per month from the county.
He claims that Faulkner was trying to
cut him with a knife, when he shot him
to save his own life.
Faulkner has several grown sons and
was a well-to-do farmer.
