Robert Strange Shocks His Aristocratic and Dem ocratic Congregation Richmond. Va.. Oct. 12. Amarlng to his Democratic congregation was the sermon last night of Rev. Dr Robert Strange, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church, when he held, up President Roosevelt as about the highest Ideal of an American. St. Paul's church is the most aristocratic in Richmond. It was the church of .Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee. Us rector is a distinguished minister, and is a lead ing candidate for the high position ,of bishop coadjutor of the diocese of east Carolina. The general subject of Dr. Strange's sermon was "Humility." He spoke of the various interpreta tions of the word, and so came to speak of examples among men of qual ities which rang true when tested. Taking Roosevelt as an example, he declared him the' purest man in poli tics today, and gave it as his opinion that the president, In whatever posi tion he found himself, always follow ed the course that he believed to be right. The congregation of St. Paul's Is composed almost wholly of Democrats, and this eulogy of a "Republican chief magistrate did not fall altogether on appreciative ears. It was the more commented upon since the previous Sunday the same speaker had taken occasion to especlaly laud Abraham Lincoln. FLOOD HIT HARD- Six Lives Lost in One New York County Millions of Propirty-Damaged Newburgh, N. T., Oct. 12. The flood hit this county hard. There have been six lives lost and the property damage is $1,000,000." The Erie, which sent two trains north today over the "West Shore, will lose $300,000. Passaic, N. J., Oct. 12. The breaking of the dam at Ramapo is liable to cause considerable more damage t the valley of the Passaic" river. The water from the pond .flows into the Passaic three miles northwest of the city. The river at the Dundee dam rose over 20 Inches since last midnight according to a statement Issued by James Wynne, the gate keeper, late this afternoon. While the losses to the local mills "win be enormous, a good authority said this evening that It would not reach mora than $1,500,000 to mills and houses. It was at first thought tnat the damage would be at least twice this sum. The mill owners when they saw the river rising had the most vaduable goods removed with the books and papers of the mills to the top floors. In this way the damage to the stock of the mills will bo reduced considerably. It Is believed that two unknown men were urownea in ine river yesieruay. i . , . . nnl- Wm. Greik of Brook avenue saw two reinstated through the efforts of -potmen being carried down the river on a itical friends, but such hopes were raft. Greik says the two men wen. ' blighted today by the unqualified state shouting frantically for help. Hemadeiment, made at the treasury depart an attempt to reach the men, but when jment, that the case would not even be he got half way across he saw that his j considered. Henry had been advised own life was in danger. A short dis-jto come here. He will save himself tance down the river the raft capsized , some expense and possibly some cm and the two men sank. Griek thinks ; barrassment by remaining at home. that the men were Slavonians, from their cries being In a foreign tongue. RIOT IN SPAIN Seven- Persons Killed In a Collision Between Social ists and Clericals,., Bilbao. Spain, Oct. 12. As a Result of the collision yesterday between Social ists engagea in a cemonstration and a were flre(J from the catholic club and from the windows of the church of St, Nicholas. The vicar of that church was arrested on the charge of shooting, several Socialists and a number of otner pnesis were arrested charged with instigating riots. MEXICAN COIN INw THE PHILIPPINES g, Manila, Oct. 12. Statistics of' the movement of Mexican dollars from June to October 9 prove the wisdom of the policy of the Philippine - com mlssloners in not placing a tax on coin as recommended by Secretary "of War Root and Commissioner Ide during the conference la WashlDfttm, whn incN dentally they upset the plans of the Manila bankers ( who advised , that the commission . place a prohibitive import tax on Mexican silver, which tax as is now, demonstrated, would have been djsastrous to the government. Conser- vative estimates of t!e total amount of Mexican silver ; in ' the Manila banks and-the treasury does not exceed $800, 000 and the total amount in the archi pelago does not exceed $5,000,000. All is ropidly flowing to Hong Kong and Singapore. Hence it Is reasonable to assume that natural causes will remove the Mexican coin before January, leav ing a clear field for the operation of the Conant bill, except so far as the Span ish Filipino currency is concerned. This, however, is the subject of politi cal legislation. Hence the currency conditions are extremely favorable. It is probable that tie government will not purchase any more silver, in view of the amount already bought, the amount of Filipino currency to be ao. quired and re-colhed, and the general increase in the value of bullion. HADE MONEY; ON HIS WIVES A Brooklyn Man Poisoned Three Women for Life Insurance New York, Oct. 12. The news that Ebenezer S. j Blldenburg, for many years a resident of Brooklyn, had been arrested at Eldora, 1 Iowa, last , Satur day on a charge of poisoning his wife, disclosed the fact today that for sev eral weeks the county prosecutor and a detective from Iowa had been In Brooklyn working up a case against him. , The woman who died in Iowa was the third Mrs. Blldenburg. Her life was hather heavily insured. Before he went to Iowa Blldenburg burled two wives in Brooklyn. ; Both died under strange circumstances and both were insured. All! unknown to Blldenburg the authorities of Eldora. sent to Brooklyn, - and what they learned In that borough of the first two wives and their deaths left them little doubt that these women died in much the same fashion as. wife number three. On their report, When they returned to Eldora last week. Blldenburg was'' arrested. Turkish Troops Slaughtered Sofia, Oct." 12.

Robertson, examiner for the states of Virginia and West Virginia, has been assigned to duty in Nyth Carolina to take up Mr. Henry's uncompleted work, which is said to be far behind. Deputy Comptroller Kane, who is the acting head of the office, laughed when told that Mr. Henry was dis posed to kick over his fate. The statement was made that Mr. Henry got. behind in .his work soon after he was appointed and had never caught up. He was reminded time and again of his negligence, and, falling to heed the -advice of the comptroller, was re moved. It was stated, moreover, that Henry's was the smallest district of any examiner's In the union, and yet other examiners had to be called in to help him out. As yet no word ' has been received . from Mr. Henry, and It is not known what he will say in re ply to these accusations. Jkdge Prltchard left to-night for Greensboro to attend the re-unlon. It was only through the courtesy of Justice Vjould that he was able to go, for he quits a busy court to take ad vantage of- the opportunity of rnin llng with home folks.

C. who was sen tenced last week by Judge Prltchard to two years imprisonment for embezzle ment of several thousand dollars from Georgetown University. Petitions are being signed here and in North Caro lina in behalf of Crafton. The main fact that is to be urged in Crafton's behalf is that restitution had been made of the funds embezzled. Crafton has not been sent to Trenton to begin sentence, an effort that will prbbably be successful is being made to keep him here in the district jail until the presi dent passes upon his case.

R., Oct. 12. The Ameri can Federation of Labor made adem onstratlon here yesterday against the administration. Some or those in the procession jcarried black flags, while the American flag was carried draped in blaok. As the paraders became dis orderly the police were ordered to dis perse them. The paraders refused to obey the orders of the police and ac tively resisted them, with the result that the pofice went into the mob and used their (clubs freely.

Republ leans Regret the Re- v moval of Walter Henrys Asheville, N. C, Oct .12. Special. The report from Washington giving in formation that the authorities of the treasury department nad determined to remove Walter R. Henry, bank ex aminer, lf)rought genuine surprise and not a little regret to Republicans in this end jof the 'state. Mr. Henry, who is examiner for 'tiie Carolinas and Ala bama, is I one of the original Prltchard Popullstsl as distinguished from the! then Butler following, and his removal is the passing of one; of the old guard. It is known, that Chairman Rollins in terceded jin Mr. Henry's behalf, but his telegraphic efforts were of no avail, for the cnairman has beenadvlsed that department would book no delay and had in fact immediately named a suc cessor to Mr. Henry. It is the pre sumption that some department official at Washington was assigned to the work. It is understood that the department did not duestion Mr. Henry's efficiency, tut it is said that he was frequently delinquent in making his reports.

G. Ryan Ad dressed the Jury Yesterday Two speeches were made yesterday in the trial of Mr. Ernest Haywood and the third ppech had been begun when court adjourned until 9 , o'clock this morning. Although this term of court exolred Saturday night under a recent law the judge has a right to continue it until the case is concluded. Senator II. k. Xorrls was the first speaker yesterday and addressed the' Jury, for two hours and twenty min utes. He spoko forcefully and was guarded in his statements. Mr. S. G. Ryan followed for the de fense with an argument of two hours. His language was strong and at times picturesque, and he exhibited the holes In the dead man s clothes to the Jury. Senator Donnell Gilliam of Tarbom spoke for two and a half hours last afternoon and will conclude his speech this morning, lie is known as a great orator and while he spoke a largo crowd gathered and crowded around the bar until the hour for adjourn ment. A feature yesterday, was that the sta,te adopts -Mr. R. N. Slmms testi timony as a basis for their argument. After Mrr Gilliam concludes Capt. W. H. Day will speak, then Solicitor Daniel and Col. Argo. When court convened yesterday mor ning Judge Peebles notified counsel not to vcontlnue a useless repetition of law in this question; he could not lim it argument but he could have confin ed the speeches to two on a side and If another attorney indulged in repeating- this legal argument he would make that speech the Inst. Snatr !Vrrla M peaks . Senator. H.' K. Norris,-jthe first speak er, said that he did not desire to ap pear In this case and had refused to do so until Solicitor Jones, for reasons satisfactory to himself had declined to prosecute and then he agreed to assist because" he was hot willing for it to be said that not a single Raleigh lawyer would prosecute a member of the cap ital city bar charged with a high crime. .- . Mr. Norris argued that Mr. Pou in his speech was unable to account for the second shot ori his theory or on Mr.. Simms' evidence. He said Mr. l'ou was the first and last man to ask a. witness an irnri.oral question, hence he could not rightly charge the prosecu tion with filth..- The prosecution only attacked Schmitz and llorutt, and Mr. Norris repeated, "Those, two witness either lied when they Kave tWir first accounts of the shooting or else they lied when they took the stand." The defense makes a great cry about the state suppressing Miss Pace's tes timony. Why, the defense did not want her evidenVe, for ehe would have sworn to the same thing as Jones Ful ler. Mr. Norris thus stated the theory of the state: Thft Ludlow Skinner -went to the post offi.ee for his mall Just the day after his mother was burled; he came out and started south diag onally across the sidewalk. The next thing Mr. Skinne r -and Mr. Haywood are seen together at the south steps. After the blow Mr. Skinner started across the sidewalk, his coat may have been blown back or h may have been reaching for his pistol os he had a right to do when liny wood rose with his olstol drawn, and liaywooa snot him. Mr. Norris argued evidence in support of this th-ory, .also that tho second shot proved fatal. i "Mr. Warren," interrupted Judge' Peebles, addressing the Jury. "Your, wife phones here to know what you want done with those pea vines." "I don't know the condition of the vines," replied the juror. ' ! 'Mr. Sheriff, ask Mrs. Warren what condition the vines are In and tell me," said the judrre. ! Mr. Norris had resumed his argu ment when Judge Peebles again inter rupted to saj;, "Mr. juror, Mrs. Warren says the pea -vines are wet." i "Let th?m stay-in the sun then." pnld the Juror. Mr. Norris laid special stress on tho testimonv of Mr. Jones Fuller, also of Mr. Simms. The !efnse could not re concile the statement of Simms and the second shot, for these two points establish the staters rase. The defense has to rely on the testimony of that "sweet-scented par, S'ehmltz and IIo- cutt." ' "If they argued that Walter Thomas is a good boy was if not consistent for us-to' show that Horutt was a bad boy' A' man does not reaxh the pin nacle of vice at one step.
