By ELIZABETH ELICOTT POE.
Richmond. Va.. Oct. 2.—Richmond,
the "Capital of the Confederacy," the
capital of colonial times, la en fete to
day because she has welcomed with all
the warm hospitality of the South the
triennial general convention of the
Episcopal church of America to. her
midst. Her citizens have left the walks
. of ordinary pursuits to entertain the
city's guests, her beauUful homes are
thrown open to the stranger within the
gates, and nothing else la thought of or
talked of In Richmond today except the
general convention.
To the populace the lions of the
hour, the greater lions ao to speak, are
curiously enough In one Instance his
lordship, tho bishop of London, whose
fame preceded him to tho quaint Vir
ginia city, and J. Plerpont Morgan, of
New York, whose reputation os a
"money king,” needless to say, has also
preceded him. Mr. Morgan ha» taken
a house here and Is entertaining a par
ty, while tho lord bishop of London Is a
guest of the diocese of Virginia and la
quartered at-BIshop Gibson's residence.
Convention Opens.
The formnl opening of tho convention
occurred at 11 a. m. today with a united
service of the houae of deputies and the
house of bishops In Holy Trinity
church. Which Vvo* consecrated yester
day with such inspiring ceremonies.
Fully 5.000 persons wore gathered In
Monroe park. In front of the church,
when the procession of 150 bishops
robed In full canonicals, their varied
colored doctors’ hoods adding color to
the ensemble, marched from the parish
hall Into the crowded church, where
Handing room was at a premium and
offers being made for admission at .5
to 110 each. . .
The service waa short and Its prin
cipal feature was the aermon by the
lord bishop of London, who presented
the greetings and congratulation* of
the church In England to her daughter
In America on her three hundredth
birthday. The historical significance
of the scene wn* potent, for It was
under a lord bishop or l*ondon that tho
church waa Inaugurated In Virginia,
and now. after three hundred years, a
lord bishop of London has come to visit
his bygone part of a diocese.
Opening Prayer Read,
The Rt. Rev. Henry Yates Satterlee,
bishop of Washington, read a portion
of the prayers artfi occupied n seat
within the sanctuary rail throughout
the entire service. Rev. Dr. Howden,
of St. Johns church, Georgetown, D. C.,
and Rev. Mr. Devries, of St. Marks
church, wero present at tho service, but
left almost Immediately thereafter to
return to Washington.
The alumni meetings and banquets
of the theological seminaries occur next
week, and It Is expected that the at
tendance on the convention then will
be much Increased.
The lord bishop of .London Issued
formal' greeting to the church and peo.
pie of Virginia this morning, lie said
In part:
"It gives me pleasure to bo In Vir
gtna. I remember and wish the Ameri
can people to remember that for a cen.
tury and a half the bishops of London
were their bishops and worked hard for
the colonies. Virginia Is still a name
which awakens interest In England,
and that Interest I share. I am here
largely because I value this historical
connection."
First 8esslon Held.
Promptly at 2:10 o’clock this after
noon the first session of the general
convention was held. The house of
deputies is meeting In historic St,
Pauls church, attended by Robert E.
Lee and JefTerson Davis, while the
state capltot has been turned over by
the commonwealth of Virginia for the
use of the house of bishops, who meet
In executive session and whose delib
erations are always more or less confl’

WILL PAVE STREET
The county commissioners at their
meeting Wednesday morning voted to
rave Peachtree street from Sixth street
to the city limits with a bltullthlo
Pavement. Neither tho city nor the
taxpayers will bo called upon to bear
the expense, which will amount to
something like $30,000.
This will make a beautiful driveway
along Atlanta's finest residence street
and also be,of great benefit to the peo.
Pie living north of the city. The differ
ence In the cost of the macadam and
the bltullthlc was considered small
enough to warrant the use of the lat

were to make It.

THE ADDRESS.
"It Is a very real pleasure to address
this body of citizens of Missouri here
In the great city of SL Louis. Now I
am visiting St. Louis In the course of a
trip by water, a trip on the great nat
ural highway which runs post your
very doors—a highway once so Impor
tant, now almost abandoned, which I
hope this nation will see not only re
stored to all Its former usefulness, but
given a far greater degree of useful
ness to correspond with the extraordi
nary growth In wealth and population
of the Mississippi valley.
"We have lived In an era of phe
nomenal railroad building. The growth
of the railway system has been ra;)ld
all over the world, but nowhere so
rapid as In the United States. Aceom-

"I was on my, way home from uptown

my home. I have been conscious of
having been followed for three weeks,
and 1 have no doubt that those who at
tempted my life are persons connected
with the Western Federation of Miners
and that I was marked for death on ac
count of my connection with the Steu-
nenberg and Steve Adams cases.”
After making his dying statement,
Brown died at mldnlghL
Brown arrested Stevo Adams a year

the line of traffic runs through lakes,

' "This I* properly a national move
ment, because all Interstate and foreign
commerce, and the Improvement! and
methods of carrying It on, are sub
jects for national action. Moreover,
while of course the matter of the Im
provement of the Mississippi river and
t» tributaries Is one which especially
concerns the great middle portion of
our country, the re
Alleghenies and the
of concern to the rest of the country
alto, for It can not too often be said
that whatever 1* really beneficial Mo
one part of our country la ultimately
of benefit to the whole.
Take, for Instance, the Panama ca
nal. If the Mississippi Is restored to
Its former place of Importance as a
highway of commerce, then the build
ing of the Panama canal will be felt as
an Immediate advantage to the busl-
ness of every city end country dletrtct
In the Mississippi valley. I think that
the building of that canal will be of
especial advantage to the states that
lie along the Pacific and the states that
e along the gulf; and yet, after all,
. feel that the advantage will be shared
in an only less degree by the states of
the Interior and of the Atlantic coast.

Raleigh, N. C„ Oct. 2. —Engineer
Steele, Yard Master Stewart, the wives
of three engineers (Smith, Johnson and
Turner) and Mrs. Pattle D. B. Arrtng
ton constituted the witnesses examined
for the state at the trial of Dr. D. S.
Rowland and Mr*. Rowland, on -trial
charged with murder, here today.
City Police Judge Bodge n. State
Treasurer Lacey and others were pro
duced as character witnesses for Engi
neer Mike Tlghe, examined yesterday,
(he state's star witness.
At 2 o'clock court adjourned for
dinner, i
The testimony today covers/ a wide
range. Engineer Steele gave testimony
bearing upon the reputation of the
present Mr*. Rowland while she was
the wife of Engineer Strange. He said
he heard reports about her In Ports
mouth, Va, but he did not credit them
until he came to Raleigh and heard the
same things; that he and Engineer
Tlghe did look after Mrs. Strange, be
cause It was their Intention, ns tVy be
llcved It to be their duty, to ascertain
the truth and get another engineer, who
Is both a Mason and a member of the
Brotherhood of Locomotlvo Engineers,
as was Strange, to tell Strange.
■The recital of Rowland's prcsenco In
the neighborhood when Strange was
away, that Dr. Rowland was very so
licitous about Mrs. Strange the day
after Strange’s death, and that he wns
to see her and sat In tho corner of the
room holding her hand, was brought
out, as was a great deal of other de
tails.
When Mr*. Rowland and the doctor
appeared In court today they eeomed to
bo more cordial toward each otbrr than
yesterday and Monday, when there waa
an air of coolness for the first time no
ticed slnco the tragedy.
Tho case will last all this week.
Many lawyers think that the prose
cution hurt Its case yesterday by Intro
ducing the three-tlines married and di
vorced brother of Strango from In
diana.
