Crowd Surges in Park Outside Trinity > Church. Bispop OF LONDON EXTENDS GREETING Congratulates Daughter of English Church at Three Hundredth Anni versary. 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’ dentlaL 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 ter. Roosevelt Delivered Speech at St. Louis Wednesday.

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.

Brown said: "I was on my, way home from uptown last night, when I met a man In front of a residence, which Is a block from 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 and a half ngo on the charge of com plicity In the crimes to which Harry Orrhard had confessed.

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.

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.
