CLARKSVILLE FIRE. Clarksville, Tenn,, Oct. 6 —There yout a $650,000 tobacco ware- | house and railroad building fire here about 1 o'clock yesterday morning, thought to have been the work of an incendiary. ‘The fire was under con- trol at 4 a. m. The Grange warehouse, with 4,500 hogsheads otf tobacco, burned, It Iso contained many snufting kinds of toba hich will be hard for the Auantic S nuff company, who had | 2,000 hogsheads, to replace. The other tobacco was owned and controlled by M. H, Clark & Bro., M. Dunlop & Bro., Gill & Turn- and E. R. Tandy, broker, all of home market, The Grange house cost ,000, The Atlantic Souff company’s loss is j about $150,000, but the other tobac- o men refuse to give the amounts of losses. The L. & N. freight depot buraed, lued at $5,000. Six cars of gener- | merchandise and one car of Pitts- burg coal were destroyed, with a | freight loss of $55,000. Insurance, this loss was not known ley if any, on tree tenement houses worth $900 burned. The Meriwether Snuff & Tobacco Company had $13,000 in snuff and plug tobacco stored ia the Grange, with $8,000 insurance. The total insurance will fairiy well cover the tobacco losses. The Grange Warehouse was a | handsome two-story brick, and oceu- |pied ove acre of ground. Gracey Bros., the owners, had only about $20,000 insurance. This firm also | lost $1,000 worth of feedstuff. The gas plant here was slightly amaged, aud the conflagration as a whole was one of the most disas- trous Clarksville has suffered in some time. Gracey, Bros.” coal shed, across |the street from the Grange Wate- house, was destroyed with all of its contents. This shed was used for | general storage purposes, The loss on this building and contents is be- | heved to be heavy, The Grange Warehouse was one of the largest tobacco warehouses in the world, and had a floor space cover. ing over five acres. It was comp‘ tively new, and was occupied by sev- eral firms. CALDWELL’S FAIR. Promises to Eclipse the County's Former Exhibitions.

The Tri-Ennial Convention of solemnize the marriage of either party This Law-Making Body Is Now in Session in Washington. Proposition to Change the Name of the Church—The Marriage Question Will Be a Bone of Gontention. Washington, Oct. 6.—The tri-en. nial general convention of the Episco- pal church began in this city yester- day and will continue for two or three weeks. The convention is composed of the House of Bishops, numbering sixty, and the House of Deputies, with four cl lay delegates from each diocese, Among the delegates are some of the most eminent men in the United States in politics, business and pro- fessional life. The House of Bishops will be presided over by the Rt. Rev. John Williams of Connecticut, the senior in date of consecration, and its sessions will be secret. The moetings of the House of Deputies will be opea to the public. Among the interesting topics for consideration is @ proposition to change the name of the denomination | from the ‘‘Protestant Episcopal Church’’ to+*The Church of Ameri- ca.’’ The Episcopalians claim to be the American branch of the holy church in direct line from the apos- Ules, just like the Catholic Church of Rome, the Greek Church of Russia and the church of England, varying from the others only in forms of wor- Ship and articles of creed. It is also proposed te elect a primate, or arch- bishop, who shali be the highest ecclesiastical authority for the church in America, instead of the senior bishop, as at present. The convention will have tbe re- sponsibility of making provision for an Episcopalian ministry in the new colonies, The Church of Engl pow has jurisdiction in the Hawaiian Islands, but there are no diocesan representatives in either Cuba, Puer- to Rico or the Philippines. Several missionary bisheps will be elected for Japan, North Dakots, Wyoming, Idaho and elsewhere. At the last general convention ia Milwakee the election of a bishop for Japan was bung up. The Rev. Joseph M. Francis was chosen by one house, but was not confirmed by the other. The most important and exciting question before the convention wi'l be the amendment of the constitution so as to make it illegal to marry people who have been divorced. Canon 13, title 2,section 2,now reads as follows: “No minister, knowingly, after due inquiry, shall solemnize the marriage of any person who has a divorced husband or wife still living, if such husband or wife has been put away for any cause arising after marriage ; bat this canon shall not be held to apply to the innocent party in a di- vorce for the cause of adultery, or to parties once divorced seeking to be united sgain.”’ At the last general convention a Adkins, the Shoe Man tcommission was appointed to revise | this, among other rules of the church, | | follows: al and four! and a majority will recommend a sweeping provision forbidding the} marriage of divorced persons alto- gether, so that the canon wil! read as “No minister of this church shall to a divorce during iv life of the otber party.”’ A minority of the commission ob- | jects to such @ sweepiog provi and will recommend the following: | “No minister of this churet shall) solemnize the marriage wf any persoo who has a divorced husbaud or wife) living. This shall not apply to the innocent party in a divorce obtained for the cause of adultery upon his or ber filing with the minister as evi- dence of such innocence a legally certified transcript of the record showing a final judgment or decree of a court having jurisdiction on the subject matter awarding him or het a divorce, a vioculo matrimonii, on grounds of adultery.”” It is propossd to change the canon regarding the marriage of relatives so thrt it will read: “No minister shall solemnize the marriage of parties who are within the degree of consanguinity and af- finity defined in the eighteenth chap- ter of the book of Leviticu It is also propoged to amend canon 35 so that it will read: ‘\No person married otherwise than as thefdiscipline of this church allows shall be admitted to holy baptism or to receive the holy communion with- out the written direction of the bish- op, given upon appli due investigation of the tact: In another canon (section 2 of cannon 36) the proviso regarding the administration of the sacraments is inserted. The joint commission will recognize the adoption of the follow- ing new provisions regarding mar- riages: Canon 34, section 2, par. 1—‘It shall be the duty of ministers to ad- monish the people from time to time that the church discountenances clandestine marriages. | Par. 2—‘*No minister shall solemn: ize the marriage of any person who} TEN CENTS PER WEEK.

U, BY shheatom Loses His Nugey orse by Having ( Stolen, Johnston, pastor of the ‘4. church and who lives eb, corner of Seventh “ ru iy. went to the stable this mur.iog te bitch up his horse, and found to his astonishment that it was gone. He placed it in the stable last night early and fed it, and this morning found that the thief had removed the buggy in order to get the horse from the stable. Nothing else was missed. Rev. Johnston stated to a reporter that he was certain his horse was stolen, as the buggy was taken out of the way, so the animal could be taken out the back way. It was a very good horse, and there is no clue to the perpetrator of the theft. BADLY HURT. Young Man Came Near Losing His Leg Yesterday. A son of Mr. Pete Rogers, of Me- chavicsburg, was badly hurt yester- day afternoon, He attempted to jamp into George ©. Hart's wagon, and had his right leg caught between the wheel and standard. It required about nineteen stitches for Dr. Brooks to close the wound. He came near losing his leg. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC, Merchants, Physicians, Attorneys, Insurance Companies, Boarding houses, Owners of vebicles, Printing offices, and all others who bave not paid a license for the present year, as required under the License ordi- nance, are hereby notified that unless is a minor under the law of the place of the marriage unless the parent or! guard is present or shall have) given a written consent to the m riage or is a permanent resident in a! foreign country,’’ Par. 3—‘‘No minister shall solemn- ize @ marriage except in the presence of two witnesses, himself or the wit- nesses being personally acquainted with the parties.
