A Chinese laundry sign was placed upon ne Hotel Brunswick, where Fred Titus asked to make a few remarks, A tful of cold water was poured on the serenaders at the West End, and at one house on Fifth avenue a whole party of the Pennsylvania wheelmen were com- pelled to appear on the second balcony in night attire and address the crowd. And 8o it went on. Asbury Park has never known such a demonstration, and as one of the leaders said to the gang: “Boys, this is the only crowd that ever | went through Ocean Grove on Sunday.” It is not likely that Bradleydom will ever have the National L. A. W. meet in. | The sixteenth annual meet of the leagne | officially ended when the clock struck 12 last night, but many conditions conspired to carry the affair until to-morrow and day after to-morro In the beginning there was the pos nent until Monday of the final heat of the iwo-mile class B handicap race, rendered necessary by the terrific bail, thunder and lightning out- break which struck the town just before the men were put on their marks. Then came the announcement that Harry Mad- dox, the pride of Asbury Park, would ride to-morrew for the ive-mile record, and on top of this, the race committee has opened entry .lists for the following prize events to-morrow: Class A, half-mile open; mile open, 2:30 class; mile open. No entrance fee will be charged. Among the crack riders already |- ed are W. F. Sims, Raymond Mc- Donald, E. C. Bald, Charles T. Earl, L. D. Cabanne, Dr. A. L. Brown, A. D. Kennedy, Eddie Goodman and Ray Dawson. Itis probable that O. A. McDonald will also try for the one-third mile record and Fred Titus for his own hour mark, paced by the tandem, triplet and quad. But these races must secure their audi- ences from the summer guests at the vari- ous hotels and the local population rather than from the L. A. W. members who have been present as delegates to the meet, a majority of the latter having been com- pelled by arrangements previously made to leave last night or .this morning for their respective homes.

SHOT FOEK HIS GOLD. | 4 Dying Negro Accuses a White Man of | Wounding Him. NEWMARKET, Ara., July 14.—Nat Powell, a prominent citizen here, was ar- rested yesterday on & warrant sworn out -by William Morris, a negro, charging him with shooting with intent to kill. The negro tells a sensational story. He says some monthsago he discovered ina | cave near Newmarket a lot of coins left by | a convict, and that his brother, whoisa professor in a normal college at Hunts- | ville, took the coins to Gadsden and got im}uoin bills for them. After giving his | brother §500 he reburied the balance, ex- ‘\ cept $200. He told of his fortune and Pow- ell wanted to Lorrow the $200 without giv- ing a note. A few nights ago Powell and two negroes called Morris out of his house, at the point | of pistols and bade him lead the way to the | cave. The negro went to the place and | told the white man the money was undera | rock, which he pointed out, and while | search was being made he ran off. Before | he proceeded far the white man shot him down and under promise of swearing that the shot was fired becguse he (Morris) was stealing chickens, the wounded man was carried home. The negro will die. Powell denies the whole story and the Sheriff will go to- mi)rrow to the cave to verify the negroe’s tale. ADICE FROM THE PULPIT Eloquent Divines Discourse to the Endeavorer Class ed them beyond all at Boston. This sort of thing e worldly wise visitors | Canon Richardson Urges Unlty acked the Denverites | in the Churches of the constituted the only Protestante. BOSTON, Ma: July 14.—No meeting | of the Christian Endeavor Convention was | held to-day, but the Endeavorers crowded | the city churches, where many distin- | guished clergymen from abroad preached. An immense congregation thronged | Trinity Church in the morning to hear | Canon J. B. Richardson of London, On- tario, who preached a sermon npon | “Church Unity,” from Ephesians iv:3. He said that the Pope’s recent encyclical, while remarkable for its gentle and devout spirit, is permeated with the assumption that Rome is the only church and union must be upon its dogmas. Any corporate union with Rome is impossible so long as she retains her distinctive erroneous doc- trines, He added: “There is set forth in Scripture a way into which all believers in Christ should lead and hold the faith in unity of spirit. I have often thought our primitive apos- tolic church does present to the Christian | world the very position here set down by St. Paul himself The word of God, the two creeds at the two sacraments, the his- toric episcopate, are the foundation stones of churches in unity. Whatever unity we obtain must be a unity in adversity. May there not be a_spiritual unity among us now—an interdenominational fellowship through this Christian Endeavor move- ment? Itstands for intense loyalty to the church and congregation with which it is connected, and also for interdenomina- tional fellowship.” Rev. Knight Chaplain of London, Eng- land, preached to a congregation whic! filled Music Hall at the service of Tremont Temple Society. His subject was, “Lib- erty in Christian Ser Through the Poiwer of the Holy Spirit. = Dudley-street Baptist Church was packed long before the morning service began. The sermon was preached by Rev. Henr; T. McEwen, D.D., of New York. He too) for his text the parable of the house built upon the sand. He used instances of ordi- nary ficulties encountered by the human soul in developing sound character. Bishop P. Samuel Fallows, LL.D., of Chicago, preached in the Tremont-street Methoc Church this morning upon “Banctification.”” He said in part: “The word ‘sanctify’ includes expiation and consecration. The church is a school, the object of whose teaching is saintship. Christ, the teacher, never gets out of pa- tience. We have hard lessons. He says, ‘Thou knowest Christ and all the saints are one, and we are one, no matter what our names, if we are sanctified in Christ.’” Dr. Arthur Little of Dorchester presided at the meeting upon Sabbath observance held this afternoon at the Park-street Church, which was well filled with Chris- tian Endeavorers. W. H. Smith of Washington, D. C., one of the speakers, said that lying around the house was not keeping the Sabbath, but one must do active Christian work. While the Washington Sabbath was not ideal, church people had taken hold of the mat- ter, and newspapess could not be sold during church hours, and it was a *dry” city. Dr. Page of Leavenworth, Kans., pleaded for the Puritan Sabbath in the West, where, he said, Sunday was a holiday. He spoke against readers of Sunday papers, but not the papers themselves. Treasurer William Shaw of the United Society of Christian Endeavor spoke briefly. The First Baptist Church was filled to the doors this ovening, when Rev. Wyland Hoyt, D.D., of Minneapolis, Minn., preached upon Christ’s touch of the bier in the raising of the widow’s son. He called attention to the fact that Christ could have performed the miracle without touching the bier, and the touch was given in order that he might put him- self on the same plane of defilement as the mother, who had doubtless touched it and become unclean, according to the Levitical law. He then detailed other experiences of Christ similar in character to this one. In closing he explained the thought of Christ’s resurrection and ascension as an experience parallel with the others men- tioned, claiming that he was in touch with human nature, even after his ascension. THO NEGROES LYNCHED. Murderers Taken From Jail and Executed by a Mob. The Victims Had Assisted In the Brutal Murder of a White Man. CAMDEN, Azk., July 14.—About mid- night last night at Hampton, thirty miles east of here, two negroes were lynched by white men. Two months ago a white man named Martin was brutally killed by three negroes. Two of them were arrested and confined in jail. The mob gathered several nights be- fore, but were persuaded to desist. But it seems new strength was added when seventy-five men demanded the delivery of the negroes. It was useless to resist such a force, so the keys were delivered to them. The negroes were seized and carried to the neighboring forest. The enraged mob gave them a few minutes for prayer, when the ropes were adjusted and the two spirits were launched into eternity. The men were not masked and made no effort in any way to conceal their identity. All was quiet this morning. It was only a couple of years ago that a race riot occurred in that county. The negroes outnumber the whites by far in Calbhoun county, and further trouble is expected. NERVE School Boys! LOoT 1.
