After the opening preliminaries Pres ident Lindsay introduced General De- Ornw. He said: "No mail can take the place of W. R. Spllman In the affectton of the rural mail carriers (great applause). But next to him comes the fourth assistant postmaster general (prolonged ap plause). I have told you that Senator Clay Is responsible for our Increased salary more than any other man." His mention of George B. Cortelyou as the choice of the carriers for the presidency met with enthusiastic ap proval. General DeGraw among other things said: "My good friends and fellow workers In the postal service, I am just oft the sleeping car, and I did not have a good night. I know you will condone any shortcomings. I did not como to make a speech, anyway, but simply to shake your hands. "I come as the representative of your good friend, Postmaster General Von •Meyer, than whom the rural mall car riers have no better friend. I can sure you that Postmaster Von Meyer "111 give the rural mail carriers any thing they ask for that Is legitimate and that Is presented In the proper manner. "I come to get In personal touch with the carriers and the service, and I am going to spend the day with you.” General DeGraw then detailed the beginning of the rural mall service and he marvelous growth. "The popularity and success of the service Is due largely to the efficiency and faithfulness of the carriers. The carrier has -become one of the most Popular and best-known cltlxens of the community,” he said. "During the past year my desk has been piled high with Invitations to at tend rural mall carriers conventions. I "ant you to bellave If I had my own "ay I would attend every one of them. But 1 have other branches of the serv ice to look after which prevents my do ing so.” He paid high tribute to the splendid service of former Postmaster General Cortelyou. "If you stick to the department,” he said, "I guarantee that in live years that the rural mall service will be the finest branch of the government. It Is Proper to present to the department "hat you desire and let us ask congress for It. Tour president came and told u« what waa wanted and that was the beginning of the end—or getting what you wanted." This statement met with tumultuous applause, end President Lindsay hud to arise and bow his acknowledgements. "Gentlemen, I was especially requeet- *d by the postmaster general before leaving Washington to tell you some things. One Is In reference to a change In the rates on merchandise. General 'on Meyer will submit several parcels Post plans. One will embrace a reduc tion on merchandise packages from 18 cents to II cents per pound and In creasing the limitation on weight from t to It pounds,” said Mr. DeOraw.

Richmond, Va., Oct.,10.—The one top ic of the conversation this morning Is the men's thank offering, the result of which 3775,213.13 with the woman's auxiliary tribute gives the "million for missions.” The total of both thank of ferings Is 31.000,213.12, of which Ala bama contributed 3684.97; East Caro lina, *1.429.75; Georgia, *2,864.68; Lou- I fail a, *863.08; Mississippi, 3400; North Carolina, 31.255.67; South Carolina, J2,008.26; Tennessee, 31,404.95; Vir ginia, 35.866.86; Maryland, 34.417.42. Dr. L. M. Blackford, who was se riously Injured In front of St. Pauls church, Is resting comfortably thl* morning. Routine business hao occupied the attention of the house of deputies this morning. The rector of St. Johns church his Invited the general convention to attend a historical service in St. Johns church on Saturday afternoon. October 19. In consideration of the canon on ap peals, Rev. Alfred Harding, of Wash ington, spoke on the question and asked that the words “ecclesiastical author ity” be substituted for the bishops. This Is rather regarded as tho anticipa tion of a hierarchy In the American church. The first statistics show the church's work among the negroes of the South. In the dioceses of Missis sippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, Geor gia, Alabama, Florida, southern Flori da, Virginia, southern Virginia, North Carolina, East Carolina, Asheville, Washington, Arkansas, Tennessee, Tex as, Maryland, Kentucicy and West Mis souri, there are 169 negro churches and missions with 9,319 communicants. Of the 169 churches and missions less than half a dozen are self-supporting. The memorial of Georgia asking for a uniform parochial report and a thor ough definition of the word “communi cant" was recommended by tho com mittee on “tho state of the church." Rey. .Dr. Brewster, or Christ church, Montgomery, Ala., asked for a joint commission to determine the enbjeot. A radical step forward was taken by the house of bishops today when they adopted a resolution to divide tho American church Into provinces, with eight primates or what will come to bo called archbishops over them. A province will consist of the dioceses of North Carolina, East Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama. Mississippi, Tennessee. Kentucky and Lexington, and of the missionary dis tricts of Asheville and southern Florida. During the heated discussion on the question of the negro In the church which came up in the house of deputies. Rev. Dr. C. B. Wllmer, of Atlanta, was subjected to hisses by the Southern delegations because of the support af forded by him In the position taken on the question by the bishop of Michigan. Sectional division on this question seems apparent every time the question Is advanced. The matter will probably be resumed In debate In the convention today. The Southern delegations are opposed to the appointment of negro bishops. The diocese of Pennsylvania first brought the matter up to the conven tion. EPISCOPAL RECTOR DOES NOT AGREE "I don't agree with Dr. Wllmer In hie views on the Bible,” said Dr. Z. S. Far- land, pastor of All Saints Episcopal church. In speaking of Dr. C. B. Wh iner's speech on the Bible at the great Episcopal convention tn Richmond, Va. "Ae to the negro bishops, 1 don't know what Dr. Wllmer thinks, but 1 am not In favor of having bishops of both races. I believe, as do many other Southerners, that It would tend to sep arate the churches. However, I do not caro to criticise Dr. Wllmer," Dr. Len G. Broughton, of the Baptist Tabernacle, Is outspoken against Dr. Whiner's views. He said: "I do not know whether he said what the press reports, but tf he did, he le unworthy the position of a Christian minister. .... , _ "In my Judgment, the like of Dr. Wll mer In the pulpit Is the cause of Infi delity. God pity tho great Episcopalian church If she has come to such a poor pans as to have to bold on to men in her leadfng pulpits like this!” 10 KILLED,30 HURT IN VIENNA WRECK; Autumn Atmosphere Does Not Prevent Crowd. The Georgia State Fair Is on In full blast. Promptly at 10 o'clock Thursday morning the gates at Piedmont park were thrown open to the public and throng of people who had gathered early in the mdrnlng filed into the fair grounds to view the finest display of exhibits, agricultural and mechanical, that has ever been gathered together at a state fair In Georgia. The weather conditions were ideal for the opening of the fair. The crisp, cool and invigorating atmosphere of the morning gavo way later In the day to warm sunshine and balmy breezes, en ticing both tho old and the young to Journey out to the grounds and see the numerous attractions which the man agement has corroled for this year's ex. hlbition. Contrary to tho expectations of those In charge of the fair, ail of the work on some of the buildings was not com pleted by Thursday morning and there was consequently some delay In open ing the entire show. This is due to the fact that the number and bulk of the exhibits are exceeding the expectations of even the most sanguine, and more time is needed to place them In post tion than was at first anticipated. In spite of this fact there is plenty of material on hand to compose the av erage state fair, and If he had not been told that there is still more to como the visitor would have been none the wiser.

The final day of the American Boiler Manufacturers’ Association convention In Atlanta was a busy one and a great deal of business was transacted at the two sessions held. While the members of the assoc la. tion met In the convention hall of the Piedmont Thursday morning to attend to business, the ladles In the party were taken to Marietta by trolley and were shown through the national cemetery at that place. The labor situation was thoroughly discussed at the morning session and the convention decided that the mem bers of the association should stand together. While It was pointed out that the members have no enmity toward labor organizations as such, they would unite against any unjust encroach ments on their rights. Another matter discussed was the proper attitude Inspectors and consult, ng engineers should take. It was de. elded that Instead of acting In the ca. parity of attorneys for purchasers, these men should act as persons of trust and not seek to make manufac turers do more than their contracts call for. At the afternoon eeselon, which be. gan at 2:10 o'clock, the following sub- , ects were taken up for discussion: s the sudden stopping of high pressure marine engines detrimental to bollersT Is the ordinary boiler Inspector of the Insurance companies and the govern- ment a hindrance or an aid to the boll, er manufacturers?

Oct 10.—Four young men were drowned and throe others, all from good families, were so seriously burned In the explosion of a gasoline launch on Raritan bay early today that they may die. For three hours after the explosion the three survivors clime to the rail ot the launch and fought off the flaming gasoline which sura 1 rounded them tn tho water. The Dead. HARRY P.

The seven young men started late at night from Perth Amboy In a large E isollne launch, owned by McCan, for eyport. When two miles off Keyport, one of them lighted a match to ignite a cigar. A spark flew Into the drip pings of gasoline In the bottom of the boat and instantly communicated the flames to the fifty-gallon tank In the head of the boat. There was a terrific explosion, and the seven men were hurled Into the water. The boat was set afire an.i those who survived tho first shock, five of them, swam back to the launch. Two had been drowned at the first Im mersion. The five survivors caught the boat rail on one side and tried to tip It, so as to flood tt with water and ex tinguish the flames. Instead the first tip of the launch sent many galtoos of flaming gasoline out on the water about the swimming men, driving them away from the boat. This time only three of the men re turned to the boat, two having been so blinded by the burning gasoline that they were drowned. The three survivors. Hornsby, Mc Can and Rubedee, held to the boat for three hours, while their hands were burned almost to a crisp. A passing steamer picked them up.
