Special to Journal: ( . Raleigh, Oct 21. A remarkable'sen- sational occurrence took 'place in the crowded waiting room at the Union station. Town gamblers who had been at the State Fair, drew pistols, one firing five shots, the other two, neither was hit but a bullet struck Charles Smith of Petersburg, fie died in half - an hour. He too was a gambler. ' His brother Ed. was also in the station. : The men who shot are Bob Lilliston of Norfolk and Henry Clark "of St, Louis, The one .who had" shot five times was captured instantly, the other who shot first and then fired once more fled acrosB the park dropped his pistol and jumped aver the fence at Park Hotel, i He was pursued by detectives and citizens and captured near the Academy of Music. . . . At least 300 women were in the ad joining room and rushed screaming into the shed in panic, shutting the station gates behind them. The waiting room shows marks of five bullets. Tho dead man came here Thursday from Peters burg where he had been, to see his mother, the first time in ten years. CHRIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH Rsv. L G. H. Williams, Tho Roctor, Prisons His Introductory Sermon. . . A large congregationwas in attend ance at Christ Episcopal Church, on last Sunday morning to welcome the new rector, Rev, L. G. H. Williams', who preached his introductory ,sermon t this parish. "Therefore I come unto you without gain saying, as Boon as I was sent forri I ask .therefore for what intent ye have sent for me," was the text from Ac's X,29, and the speaker delivered a most impressive and . f jrcible Bermon alimg the lines of his text. He said he little thought when a visitor in this d y last summer that th's would soon be his home. Now that he was here, he asked as did 3t Peter in the text, "for what intent ye have sent forme.'! Church work was not alone for the rec t r, it was for each member, and he naked that he might have the sincere, hearty and Christian co-operation, of each member, and that his hands might be upheld by the church. ' The song service was very good by the large vested choir. At the close of the services Mr. Wi Kama was tmmttA hv mnaf. nf tha mam. bers, and given a cordial welcome to J his new field, with promises of their earnest co-operation. ' The regular week day and Sunday services of the church will be held from now on. Death of Mrs Mary Gaskill. Died, in this city, on the morning of Oct 23rd 1905, Mrs. Mary M.

Break- j "last to Preddsnt by Governor Not Publlo Affair. Raleigh, OctL The thousand and one fakirs who were at the State Fair left today, going to all parts of the country." As one of them remarked, they had a convention, some 'meeting wno had not seen each other for years. It was the greatest gathering of them ever in North - Carolina. They had some very dirty shows..,and there was gambling of every kind imaginable. One newspaper editor here said that it was the boldest outfit he ever saw and that the shows were as wide open or wider, as could be imagined. . The problem which is confronting the Cotton Growers' Association as how to get all the Growers in line. , Of course relatively few out of the vast multi tude belong to the association, " A few distrust it,many have never heard of it, and there are some tricky farmers who would deceive their next neighbor. Governor Glenn said today that he deeply appreciated the kindness and sympathy which had been shown him regarding the death of his brother General Glenn, these expressions con ing from oil parts of North Carolina. While he was passing from hereto Greensboro with the body of his broth er, the people here, there and along the route vied with each other in sym pathy, love and kindness. The gov ernor is unable to answer the mass of letters and telegrams and so requests to make your correspondent to exoress to the people of North Carolina his thanks, tie was very grateful for the sympathetic telegram which the Presi dent sent ' him regarding General Glenn's death. . ,; ?. Your correspondent has referred to some criticism which was made regard ing yie omitting ol the breakfast to President and Mrg. Roosevelt at the Executive Mansion. It should be stat ed that this would not have been a pub lic function, but a private and personal one, as the Governor and his brother, Gen. Glenn, were together in the ar rangements for it Some persons ap pear to have had the idea that it was a public affair and that the State or North Carolina was to pay for- it, but this was not at all the fact ; Charters are granted the Concord Milling Company, to make flour, meal etc.r at Concoi'd. capital stock 125,000, G.

State Entomologist Woglum laughed very heartily today when he received a lot. of letters about the "Cabbage Snake." This is in fact only a worm, entirely harmless,,and as Mr Woglum remarked; could be eaten without In jury to the enter. But some how a lot of the country people are full of the foolish notion that it is a snake, and some silly newspapers have largely spread this notion. THEY COME AND GO. air. ami airs.

An Abli Sermon Proachtd by Bishop Duncan Which Is Greatly Appreciated. The Entire Amount of $40,000 Raised at the Mnting. A Wondorlul Occasion. ' Sunday was the happiest day in the hearts and lives of the worshippers at the Centenary Methodist Church, There has never been a time in the history of New Bern when so much in terest centred in one event The faith ful had seen their ' prayers answered and their fondest, hopes realized in the dedication of their beautiful new church home and. there were tears of joy, com mingled with songs of praise as the multitudes met for the first time to give to the service of God their beauti ful edifice. The solemnity of the occa- occasion was such as will be remem bered for many years to come. There were many " unprecedented feat ures about this meeting which will be treasured in the hearts, of those most interested as long as they live. A great throng witnessed the formal opening of the New Methodist church. A few churches dismissed their congre gations in order that the people might attend these exercises." From the time of the opening of the doors until the beginning of the services there was a stream of people entering at both doors and it was not long before the entire seating capacity in the church was en tirely taken up and a few late comers were obliged to stand. ,. The following gentlemen acted as ushers: - . , :. J. G. Delemar,'A. E. HibbardTTi S. Grant, H. W. Simpson, D. R. Davis, H. BiSedberry, F.H.- Shipp, L. A. Davis, L. E. Hearn and JohnSuter, Jr. The large assembly was admirably handled and there was no difficulty nor delay in finding seats for the multi tude. " , i : . '' '::.'- The weather was ideal, a clear, cool bracing air made it a pleasure to be out of doors and nature was very kind to this great event. Appropos to the weather it may not be out of place to mention the fact that it was also a great day to display artistic triumphs of the' modiste and the milliner. The visiting clergymen who occupied the pulpit with Bishop Duncan were: Rev. W. F. Epperson, Bishopville, Md.,' Rev. Dr. John R. Brooks, Reidsville; Rev. Dr. F. H. Wood, Trinity; and Rev. J. W. Jenkins of Raleigh. Prior to the service all knelt in silent prayer. The service -was opened by an anthem after which the congregation joined heartdy with the choir in the beautiful song: Holy, Holy, Holy," Lord God Al mighty, and the Apostles Creed was repeated. Bishop Duncan led in prayer and the choir sang the benediction, "The Lord Bless Thee." Bishop Dun can then read the first scripture pas sage from Genesis 28; 10-22; and the second passage was from Hebrew 10. After singing another hymn, Bishop Duncan announced his text . The first being taken from Jeremiah 6: 16; "Thus Saith the Lord, Stand Ye in the Ways, and See, and Ask for the Old Pathos, and Walk Therein and Ye shall find rest for your Souls." In connection with this passage he also read the ol lowing verse from the book of -Judge: "Beloved when I gave all dilligence to write unto you that Ye earnestly con tend for the faith which was once de livered nnti ttiA Mints." - The Rinhnn'a ,1"' - r- HinllPB. wfl. . iittl, ,ff. hv - W which he alluded to by way U explanation. He exDressed him- gelf that he was profoundly grateful to the Almighty God that he was per- . ..... mitted to be permitted to be with the people at this time. He had looked forward to this occasion for many weeks, and he had found as the good woman (Queen of Sheba) said to Solo- "on that she naa heard no uttie oi his . , ..... ... I . 3 A..- i. X l 1 1 1 erected but with all that she had heard . . ... ... , j not half had been told, "I thank God, ". , Vi j he sa d, "for the noble men and women m were made with tears, some were there8Uit 0f much self denial, some ;had practiced strict economy ire order that they might see this fruition of their prayers and hopes." "I would as lief this church should belong to the (Baptist or the Presbyterian or any other denomination for God forbid that I should be bound by sectarian lines to that extent that I could only rejoice with Methodists. But t am particularly exultant because it is erected unde-' oAiaToriiA. - ::IAIIT:" If ycu haven't Red Meat Tobacco in tlock, the control of the Methodist denomina-' tion. : ' ' The pioneers of Methodism who went out into the wilderness raised temples to God and built school houses before they built their own houses. And that spirit is still among us. This beauti ful house of God is the result of that sslf denial whereby , men have made their offerings for the church where otherwise they might have .... built for themselves. ' 1 thank everyone who does anything for GooV , You have wrought nobly in building this house, more nobly than in he construction of railroads, : and fac- Uii.es. It is infinitely better for Chris tian civilization to build churches than to promote those things which are the result of Christian civilizatioji. What would' a community be , without a church or school building. No church is perfect unless a school building is erected also, the two go together. Fire may destroy or flood may sweep them away but if Christian civilization has made any progress and if the : work of the teacher and preacher , has been faithful all temporal destruction is fu tile. Thank God for character; you can't destroy that. , Some may say that we arer'too proud; they mistake our feeling of happiness over the new surroundings for pride. Our people are not' unjustly proud but they do not fail to show their gratitude and love for the church. As to the building it is just and right that a church edifice be built with all the de vises and art of any other structure. God never gave but one pattern for a church and that was the grand and coostly temple erected by Solomon. ; It was builtby human hands but God bless ed it by the presence of the shekina and we have no evidence that God is displeased when a grand temple ie j built to worship Him in. V You hear a good deal of Methodism in books and magazines and the making of monuments to the memory of Wesley but thanks to Almighty God that it needs no patronage like that. When Wesley founded the Methodist ! church he made the fundamental princi pals of experimental Godliness, sancti fication, repentance, forgiveness beliei in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost and a home in heaven strong and it was to his promulgation of these principals that makes the church what, it is , to day. . ' V. i' X ; There is no old Methodism. ? It is the same today that it always nas be?t and I pray God that it will ne ei change. . : ' ' We have heard a great deal about what kind of a , dress or a bonnet a Christian ought to wear. If you wear a certain kind of dress or bonnet you're a Methodist; if not, you've fallen from grace. There are great objections, to flowers on women's hats. Flowers are God's messengers. They are the silent witnesses of his love and care to all the known world; on the barren mountain top or in ihe fertile' valleys God has placed flowers to show that he loves the beautiful and why should not the women wear them on their bonnets. Mr. Wesley dressed as I never did nor ever will but he did not refrain from personal adornment; he wore silver buckles on his shoes but his Methodism was sdund. ;." I want you to understand that Metho dists, do not worship Wesley. They have not caponized him as a saint but they recognize him us a good and great man, abundant in labor and worthy to be reckoned by tin side of John Knox and John Bunyan. : He (Wesley) had no more idea of founding a great church than he had of flying' to the stars but he worked to get to the heart of the sinner, to preach repentance for sins and faith in Jesus - Christ and his labors grew until he had reached the high eminence of a t hristian teacher. The sermon lasted thres quarters of an hour and was listened to with mark ed attention and seriousness, and it was a discourse which greatly pleased the congregation. v BIO DEBT IS RAISED. Without scarcely a break Bishop Duncan went from his sermon to an ap peal to the people to raise the $40,000 debt on the church, a burden that to many seemed almost impossible to re move, and the task was a most prodi gious one. Prior to the appeal Rev. G. T. Adams announced that a $5,000 or gan had been provided by Mrs. J. A. Meadows. Bishop Duncan prefaced his appeal with a few remarks saying that he did'nt know who it belonged to, that it should belong to the church members and the Lord but with the heavy debt it could not belong to either oner The mason, carpenter aid painter would own it , Bitthop Duncan began his solicitation with the high figure of $5,000 and two prominent members of the church re-1 8Poded nobly to this call. The lesser I amounts were then gradually taken up and at almost every call, someone gave 8 i - I OAD'JOriSA, SwntU . i:.8 K:r.d You h Blgnattua yj, t TO THE CCIICUr IEH ( w'V-t-w1 ' ve rive yoa ourclrr.lute guarantee that ench 10c pl2 of Ke4 Heat is r.v.

Scratched Till Blood Ran. Wasted to Skeleton. CURED DY CUTICURA One Application Soothed Him to Sleep. Cure Speedy and Permanent. "When my little boy was three moatha old his head broke out with a rash, which was very itchy aad ran considerable watery fluid. We tried everything we could, but he got worse all the time till it spread to his arms, legs, and then to his entire body, and lie came near dying. It itched so he would scratch till the blood ran, and a thin yellowish stuff would be all over his pillow in the morning. I had to put mittens on his hands to keep him from tearing his skin. He got so weak he took fainting spells and we would think him dying. He was almost a skeleton and his little hands were thin like claws. "He was bad about eight months when we tried Caticura. I had not laid him down in his cradle in the daytime for a long time. He had got so that he just slept in our arms all the time. , . : INSTANT RELIEF "I washed hits with Cnticura Soap and put on one application of Cutj. enra Ointment and he was so aootked that I but him in the cradle.

Of these pledges there were three for $3,000, two for 52,000; two for $1,000, one cash contri outionof $500' and one pledge for the tame amount, the latter being an wunced at the evening service. There were three pledges for $250, 30 people tnnounced their willingness to give $100 iach and 50 or more contributed $50 apiece and there were many who gave of their penuny but gave cheerfully and which was received as greatf ully as were the large amounts. v Although the entire $40,000 debt, was iischarged before the congreghtion was Jismissed and however happy they vvent to the service they left in a hap pier frame of mind. - ' ; Two events were held in the audi torium of the church in the afternoon, rhe first was the baptism of five child ren by Bishop Duncan and the Sunday jchool mass meeting. The large room was crowded with people concerned in work with the children, The mass meeting topics of general interest were discussed and the ad dresses were along the line of Sunday school work and .many good Bug gestions were made. The speakers were Revs. J. R. Brooks, F. H. Wood, J. W. Jenkins, Messrs. Edwards of Kinston, W. L. Arendal of More&ead and T. A. Green. , ( - : The evening meeting was attended by a large number of people the Sunday school room as well as the auditorium was filled with people interested in the services. The text of Bishop Duncan's sermon was taken from Acts 10,38. The stress of (lis discourse being on the clause "Going about doing good." The ser mon was very fine and was greatly joyed. He made some remarks which will dwell long in the hearts of all who heard them. One notable comment was "I have been through your splendid stiucture and taken note of every room from the kitchen to the gallery, but it isn't worth the snap of the finger in the Lord's Kingdom if there is no spirituality in the church. ! The going about doing good of the text may be large or small but it is a. part of the Lord's work that he demands of all Of his followers". ; Last night Rev. R. B. John of Kin ston, the pastor of the church in . 1900 preached to the Senoir mnd Junior Ep worth Leagues. A large number of former friends greeted him. To night Rev. L. L.
