Brotherhood of Ministers Organized. Other Proceedings. Correspondence Telegram. Liberty, N. C. Nov. 25 Yesterday an organization was effected to be called "The Brotherhood of Ministers of the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Protestant church," with thirty-eight ministers and six laymen as charter members. Each ministerial member is assessed an in itiation fee of fifty cents. The survi ving ministerial members are assessed three dollars and each lay member is assessed one dollar on the death of a ministerial member. The officers of the Brotherhood are: President, Rev. W. A. Bunch; Vice president, Rev. C.L.-Whitaker; Sec retary and treasurer, J. Norman Wills. The evening session was devoted to two addresses. Rev. J. F. McCulloch spoke on Finance. Rev. J. S. Wil liams spoke on Literature. Thirty dollars was raised for the Oxford Orphanage. Today Rev. J. C. Barrien made a strong address on ministerial educa tion. The personality of the minister is important in church work. Also wise, devout, loyal leadership. He should be competent, worthy, well prepared by being' given the best advantages. All educated men are self made, though tbey have the best of advan tage. They make themselves of their environment. The p-ocess of the so called self education is too slow. While one so-called self-made man succeeds, a score fail. A goodly number of young preach ers were in school at Western Mary land college, Westminster Seminary, Kansas City University, Westminster college in Texas and our Seminary in Illinois. 280 men have been aided by the board in thirty years. $69,000. 00 has been loaned within 15 years, the beneficiaries have paid back to the board $14,000. Our seminaries and colleges are nnt factories to make preachers. 75 per cent of the young men helped by the board have been fully successful. Our church has saved at least 500 years of active service by helping the young men hasten in their preparation. God has a purpose in blessing the Metho odist Protestant church with a life so vigorous. The church extension board held its annual meeting. A free will offering of one hundred dollars was made to aid in carrying on the work of the board. Rev. Hugh L. Elderdice, president of the Westminster Teological Semi nary, came today. WRECK ,ON THE SOUTHERN. Caused By The Train Breaking Loose. Thirty. Six Hogs Killed. Between one and two o'clock last nighUa wreck which resulted fatally for thirty-six hogs, occurred about one mile north of the station on the South ern road. An incoming fast freight train from the north came uncoupled near the middle and soon afterward came together with a crash that com pletely demolished two cars and shat tered the end of a third. The engineer did not notice when his train came un coupled, but kept ahead until he began to slack up, before coming into the railroad yard. The loose cars came dashing madly down the grade and crashed into the first part of the train just outside the city. The rear of the front part was an empty flat car; the front of the rear part, a cattle car, provided with two floors and loaded with two hundred and ten fine hogs. Thirty-six hogs were killed in the wreck, while the re mainder were scattered to the four winds, some of them more or less hurt. How any of them escaped seems won derful for in the crash the stock car was completely shattered and the flat 2ar hurled on top of it. Freight agent Coffin had the greater number of the hogs driven to the Southern's stock pen, near the depot and fed, while those that were killed and not too badly bruised were carried to the station and sold. The track was cleared so that there was little delay to the early train this morning. Steamers Collide. By Wire to thk Tkleg ram.

CAPT. JA5. DOWO DEAD. The Father of firs. Dr. T. N. Ivey, of this City A Good flan Oone. A message received by Rev. Dr. Ivey early this morning announced the serious illness of Capt. James C. Dowd, of Charlotte, with apoplexy. A little later the trembling wires brought the sad message : "Captain Dowd is dead." He was the father of Mrs. Ivey and of Editor W. C. Dowd, of the Charlotte News, of Mr. Frank Dowd, a prominent merchant of Char lotte. There are also several other children. Capt Dowd was a native .of Moore county, and when a young man he married Miss Henrietta Rives, daugh ter of the late Col. Jas. F. Rives, of Chatham county. They raised a large family of bright, intelligent children, who are honoring the names of their worthy ancestors and father and moth er by living upright and useful lives. A few years ago Capt. Dowd's be loved wife was removed by death, and only a few months ago he was married again. He was . about sixty years of age. Capt. Dowd was a brother of the late Maj. Clem Dowd, who so beauti fully wrote the life of his friend and companion for years, Senator Zeb. B. Vance. We extend heartfelt sympathy to the sadly bereft sons and daughters, and to the large family connections of the deceased?

GOVERNOR OF TENNESSEE Says North terollna Situation Helped Out In His State. BUSIHESS GREATLY IMPROVED Mr. ricMlIIan Thinks it Will Be Many Years Before Republicans Rally In The South. Special to The Telbqhax. Washington, Nov. 26 Governor elect BentonjMoMillan, of Tennessee, Is in Washington for the purpose of attending to some business incident to the closing of bis official duties asva Representative in Congress. Mr. McMillan (was seen yesterday at the Hotel La Normandie where he is stop ping, and stated that he expected to be here for only a few days. The Governor-elect In speaking of political af fairs said that he thought the pros pects for the democracy in the south and In the country are excellent. The recent elections have proved, he says, that the democratic party when united are in a majority on a popular vote of the country. In Tennessee the democratic party is thoroughly united and in favor of white supremacy, and the governor asserts that it will be a long time before the republicans will become a strong a factor in political campaigns there as they have been in the past campaigns. The sympathies of the state are naturally with the peo ple of North Carolina, and the mis management of affairs by the republi can party in that state had a large in fluence in increasing the democratic In Tennessee. Mr. McMillan says that after the experience North Caro lina has had with republican supre macy, he does not think that the white voters of his state will be very anxious to try the experiment, especially in the near future. In speaking of business .throughout the south, the governor said that it has improved somewhat in Tennessee within the past few months. In spite of the low price of cotton prevailing, which has had some effect on the farm ers of the state, prices for other agricul tural commodities, in general, are good, and the farmers are in a com paratively prosperous condition. Governor McMillan will remain in the city for a few days before return ing to his home. Yesterday he spent most of the day visiting the various executive departments in the interest of his constituents. It is stated that Adjutant J. H. An derson, of the First South Carolina Reginrent, Volunteers, has been se lected for the post of collector for the port of San Juan, Por& Rico, and has been given until the first of January to decide upon whether he will accept or not. At the war and navy depart ments, and at the white house, nothing could be learned about the report, but it is not believed, as at present no provision has been made for such an office, and could not be made without congressional legislation. Legislation affecting the government of none of the new dependencies is expected at the coming session of congress, unless the situation' should change, as to make it desirable that the question should be brought up at once. Mr. William R. Trigg, of Rich mond, Virginia? who has just received a contract to build a -number of torpe do boats and torpedo boat destroyers, arrived in the city yesterday after noon and later went to the navy de partment to confer with the officials about the work. Mr. Connally T. Trigg, a brother of William R. Trigg, who has been here for several days in the interest of the firm, is still here, and went to the department with the latter. ' At the navy department the officials very generally discredit the reports 'which have been in circulation that the great shipbuilding firms of the country have formed a combination to advance the prices for the construc tion of naval vessels, in case the de- fiartment concludes to construct the arger vessels. At the department one of the officials stated yesterday that there is no reason for such a combi nation on the part of the shipbuilding firms to raise the prices, and to do so would be folly on their part. Mr. George O. Gaylord, and wife, of Wilmington, N. C, were in the city yesterday. Mr. Gaylord says that matters in Wilmington are quiet, and that the new government has the con fidence of the people of the city. They are stopping at the Metropolitan. A. F. Page and wife, of North Caro lina, are also at the Metropolitan for a few days. Postmasters have been appointed in North Carolina as follows: W. S. Watkins, Campbell, Stokes county, vice H. C. Lackey, removed; George R. Rawlins, Dallas, Gaston county, vice Nettie S. Moore, remov ed; Thomas L. Archer, Rathbone, Guilford county, vice C. A. Whit worth, resigned: John H. Caldwell, Walter, Wayne county, vice N. B, Talton, resigned. BIDS TO BE EXPLAINED. Accepted or Rejected Next Friday V - Night. The board of aldermen met last night, with Mayor Taylor in the chair.
