SERVICES
The Beificea at the First Baptist
Church Meeting With 8acc?M.
The services at tlfe First Baptist
Church were largely attended last
night considering the weather. Rev.
Mr. McFarland preached a most elo
quent sermon on the subject, "Pre
pare to Meet Thy God." The preacher
showed that it was human to prepare
for the meeting with some distin
guished personage, and impressed
upon hts hearers that such a meeting
was going to take place. He next
called attention to Him who was to
be met, and then those who were to
meet Him. The sermon was solemn
throughout, and At the close two pre
sented themselves for church mem
bership.
An account of the "Old Folks Ser
vice" will be published tomorrow.
' " The service each night will begin
at 7:46 o'clock. It in aaked that those
who can poaajbly do so will be pres
ent- before 8 o'clock, so that the con
gregation may not 'be detained to a
later hour than usual.
^APPRECIATED
The A. C. L. and N. St 8. Head Checks
Towards Paying For Volunteer
Horses.
The Atlantic Coast Line snd the
Norfolk & Southern Railways have
donated to the Volunteer Hose Com
pany of thla city |25 esch, toWard
paying for the horses purchased by
that company.
Mr. J. F. Tayloe .was appointed by
the company a committee of one to
solicit contributions from this source.
If possible, and with the aid of Mr. A.
D. Mac-Lean, the above amount was
secured. The boys have liquidated
the debt on the horses with the ex
ception of $50 through their own ef
fortP. and the fact that these two
railroads have contributed the above
amount is a source of oongratulation
not only to the members of the com
pany. but the entire city.
The Volunteer Hose Company Is an
Organization of which' the city should
feel pro.ud. The record of this com
pany since its organization has been
a most enviable oile. It has a bright
and promising future provided the
Citizenship of Washington renders
the proper encouragement.

GREAT MEETING OF FARMERS. J
St. Louis, Mo/, April 26. ? An event]
of unusual Importance to every farm
er In the United States will be the
eighth semi-annual meeting of the
Farmers' Educational And Coopera
tive Union to be held in this city May
2-8 inclusive, and from present indi
cations it will be the largest gather
ing of farmers ever held in the United
States. While the membership of the
organisation is composed mainly of
Southern farmers, the American So
ciety of Equity, a similar organisa
tion comprised of Northern farmers,
will hold its convention at the same
time. The combined membership of
these two organizations is more than
5,000,000, and the total number of
delegates exceeds 90,000. Represen
tatives from the American Federation
of Labor and kindred organizations
will also be present. ' v
On? or*the principal topiea.to be.
discussed will be that of Improving
the condition of the farmers. The cry
of "back to the farm," which has
arisen from many prominent finan
ciers and economists during the past
year, it is claimed, has emphasized
the fact that the farmer is the bul
wark of the nation, and the conven
tion will adopt resolutions urging
that, Congress pay more attention to
him. In line with this -will be the re
port of the legislative bureau, wnlch
the Farmers' Union has maintained
in Washington during the presnt ses
sion of Congress. In the report. Tlie
bureau will set forth the legislation
that is necessary to relieve the pres
ent burden on the farmer, and it will
no doubt have considerable effect on
the next congressional election.
The program calls for morning, af
ternoon and evening sessions, and no-l
ted educators, economists and agri
culturists will address the delegates, [
including President Taft. *
Other speakers Include Hon. C. S
Barrett, president of the Farmers*
Educational and Cooperative Union;
C. O- Drayton, president of the Amer
ican Society of Equity; Judge W. E.
Monroe, Senator McCumber, Repre
sentative Cantrill, of Kentucky; Prof.

The speeches will be delivered In I

NEAR TO DEATH
?
One of the Mest Curious of Au
tomobile Accidents.
AT WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.
Car Containing Ttirw Prominent Men
I'lungn Orer Frit 11 Temporary
Hrftdge anrtHanjc" There, Allowing
Occupant* Time to Scramble to
Safety.
> Winston -Salem, April 14.? A trio
of well-known cltl*ena came perilous
ly near to dealt* this kfWfflOUhTfl
of the m^st curious automobile acci
dents on redfra. The car plunged
through a frail, temporary bridge
oyer a sixty -foot cut and hung there
while the occupants scrambled to!
safety and not one received a scratch.
The accident occurred at South
side. A Reo car. owned and driven
by Mr. W- C- Korthrup, the architect,
and having as passengers Mr. Thomas
Hume. Jr.,' and Mr. L. O'Brien, was
running along on a low gear while
the gentlemen inspected the work!
that is being done on the Southbound
Railroad when this temporary bridge
o v?r a sixty-foot cut was reached.
The car struck the bridge at low
speed, but tan -some unaccountable
manner the aaie on the fight front j
wheel fouled 4be side of the bridge
and the car tonmd sharply to the left,
plunging through the lower side rails
of the bridge. Fortunately the head
of the car caught in the top rail and
held firm with the front wheel and
half the car dangling in midair, while
the occupants scrambled out as - best
they could. The car was badly wreck
ed. It was recovered later with the
derrick and block and tackle.
Had the c ax been going at higher
apeed. or thy bridge rail less secure
instant death would probably havo
been the fate ot the entire party.

three negro highwaymen who last ]
night held up and robbed a street car
In an Atlanta suburb. Identified one]

dragnet as probably one of the gull* ,
trio. This negro and four others who !
are held on suspicion are prisoners
In the "tower." The tdct th*t the
wounded conductor had partially
Identified the nogro was known to
but few, extraordinary precautions
having been taken by the county and
city police to keep from the thou
sands of whites who thronged the vi
cinity of the crime any facts which
might tend to further fan the flame
of ratfe hatred manifested. Ail kinds
of rumors, however, gained credence
and the (MBcers found It necessary to
[?rohtblf negroes visiting the neigh
borhood where the crime occurred.
There was even expression of disap
proval from the crowds at the pres
ence of the few negro chauffeurs who
piloted automobiles to the scene.
Chief of Police Jennings states yes
terday that every precaution had been
taken against manifestation of a riot
spirit, "although we have not the
slightest apprehension that there will
be trouble," he added.
The funeral of Motorman S. T.
Brown, who was shot dead beside his
car by ore of the negroes, will be
held tomorrow. A coroner's Jury was
empaneled and viewed the body, but
no- formal report will be made for
several days.
An operation was performed this
morning on Conductor Bryson and it
is announced that there Is a slight
chance that he will recover.
A score or more of necroes w?re
arested last night and today, but af
ter being subjected to a sweating at
police headquarters all but five were
releaae'd this " afternoea. - A?
that on one of the negroes arrested
was found a receipt which bore the
name of the dead motorman was de
nied by the police. They also denied
the report that weapons were found
on several of the negroes arrested.
The bloodhounds last night follow
ed the trail of the negroes from the
point at the end of the car line where
the hold-up occurred to a tented con
struction camp where about sixty ne
groes are employed on grading *ork.
Here several of the arrests were made
and all the dther members of the con
struction gang are under survellance.
Today whites were not ^remitted to
go near this camp because of the ex
citable atqtude of the crowds which
thronged the "vicinity of the crime.
Besides robblhg the conductor of
all of the "company" cash which he
had. the negroes took from the dead
body of the motorman a purse con
taining his monthly wages. The street
railway company has offered a reward
of $.*i00 for the apprehension of the
guilty negroes and tomorrow this re
ward ^expected to be augmented by
the o?r of several thousand dollars
by the city and Fulton and DeKalb

Hankow. April 25. ? Many thou
sands of Chinese are dally joining the
holy war being waged against the
foreigners and native Christians.
Rioting in the province of Hunan
continue" and has spread throughout
many districts of Hupeh.
Pillage and slaughter were kept
up today. Fugitives are pouring in
from various district* with tales of
horror.
While the safety of many Caucas
ians/for the most part missionaries,
is in doubt, the trouble has generally
settled Into a fear of extermination of
native Christians, hundreds of whom
have been tortured or slain. Every
hour brings news of fresh atrocities.
There is even some disorder within
the city of Hankow, refuge of the
whites forced to flee from the remote
districts. Th? situation is constantly
Increasing in ifarlousness.
Refugees arriving today brought
word of the terrible war against the
native converts.
The hatred of the renegades of the
new religion gains full sway, the mob
have exhausted even Chinese ingenu
ity In tor'urlng the native Christians.
Kvery punishment of criminals
known to Chinese criminal lore Is
practiced .by the mobs, and tortures;
never before used* some of them un
speakable, as well.
In some Instances the victims';
tongues have been torn out by the
roots, and they have been set loose, j
often blinded, and mockingly told toj
preach the new creed. Bound till
they could scarcely move a muscle, i
others have been tickled continually
tty their brains gave way.
The water torture? the steady
dropping of water 011 one spot of the
bKBy. has been frequently employed
by the vengeful mobs.
After the 400th drop, this torture
is excruciating; In one Instance re
ported today, more than 3.000 drops
were used.
In one Instance a Christian, an old
woman, was bodnd and her teeth filed
awartn the gums. Fingar M4JjAA
nails of others have been pulled cJut
Definite Information regarding many
mlslonarles In the remate parts of the
province is still lacking. It Is known
that orders were sent to nearly all the
Btatlous advising them to flee to
points of safety at their discretion.
Some, however, are believed to be In
