CONGRATULATORY SERVICE AT FIRST PRESBYTERIAN DR. ISAAC M. HUGHES f . Long and Successful Pastorate Closed With Appropriate Exer cises. .. "In the name of Whitewater Presbytery and by authority of the Presbyterian church of America, I declare the pastoral relations between this -church and the Rev. Dr. Hushes dissolved." These were the last words of yesterday's exercises at the First Presbyterian church The .lay was deYoted to a congratulatory service marking the c lose of the long pastorate of Dr. I. M. Hughes of the First Presbyterian church. The day was beautiful and the services were in full harmony with the day. The venerable Dr. Hughes and his family occupied a pew and the pulpit was occupied by four young men in the Presbytery. Rev. Walter E. Price of Shelbyville was the master of ceremonies. The other three were Rev. A. K. Mattingly of Lawrenceburg, Rev. Mr. Dungan of Newcastle and Rev. C. O. Shirey of the Second church of Richmond. There were also prpesent Mr. W. F. Spencer of Muncie and Dr. Darid Schaff, professor of Church History in Allegheny theological seminary. The principal address in the morning was given by Rev, Price and was congratulatory, optimistic and foreshadowed better things for the church in general. He said among ' other .things .that the i-greatest -hind-. raace to the church work of today "was indifference and not agnosticism. However, the indifference that prepared was not as great a hindrence as it seemed to be. Back of it and almost universal in scope was a belief in the fatherhood of God. He paid a high tribute to Dr. Hughes and the First church of Richmond. He said that i ancient times all roads led to Rome and that for many years all the churches in Whitewater . Presbytery looked to the First church of Richmond for encouragement and inspiration. Mr. W. F. Spencer, a former member of the congregation read an interesting history of Dr. Hughes' early pastorate and told how the church grew under the guiding hand of the xistor and his estimable wife. r le. Dungan made a short address in which he made prominent the length of the pastorate about to be dissolved. He said that although there was no time limit, the average length of Presbyterian pastorates was only about three and one half vears. Rev. V Shirey Avas appointed by the ministerial association of Richmond to read the resolutions passed by that body in reference to their relations with Dr. Hughes as a member of that association. Rev. Shirey made a verv happy little speech as an introduction to the resolutions. These resolutions were a touching tribute to the real worth and work of the man who was just laying down the work that he had done so long and so well. Dr. Schaff, a friend of DrI). Hghes was present by accident and added quite a little to the exercises by some brief remarks at theclose. He was at one time a teacher in Lane seminary and had for two of his students, Revs. Mattingly and Dungan. The day's services closed with a good, logical sermon by Rev. Mattingly who represen ted the church at Lawrenceburg. The First church of Richmond is noted for its good music and yesterday was no exception. In place of the regular choir, there was a quartette composed of Miss Stella Brush, soprano, Mrs. Otto Krone, alto, Mr. Arthur Myers, bass and Mr. Otto Krone, tenor. The music was excellent and was one of the pleasantest features of the exercises. The following tribute in verse was I read by Mr. Spencer. While the author's name is concealed, it is ascrib ed to Mr. Spencer's pen. Tt makes little difference who composed it, it

While All the Other Candidates Have guine of St. Louis, July 5. The arrival of belated delegations and marching clubs today congested the hotels and increased the discomfort caused by the hot, murky weather. A strong lead was developed by Parker yesterday emphasizing by the action of the Pennsylvania delegation last night, makes the outlook continue favorable to the New York Judge. There was gossip today about favorite sons with drawing but nothing tangible has been done in that regard. Parker's managers are confident he will get a clear majority on the first ballot and will be nominated on the second ballot or by changes of the first. Senator Davis, of West Virginia, says no statement can be made as to what Senator Gorman will do. He said it is Avell known in West Virginia Maryland and the District of Columbia, that the nucleus of Gorman's strength, have decided in favor of Parker; It is also well known that Ohio is dissatisfied with the favorite son idea and will meet this afternoon to abandon Gorman and unite on Parker. Tammany leaders practically decided this morning to withdraw all opposition to Parker. The Delaware delegation agreed today to adhere Vo Judge Gray.

SIGNAL HONOR TO BEVERIDGE. Apropos of the honor paid to Senator Beveridge in appointing him a speaker to second the nomination of President Roosevelt, it is interesting to kow that the author of The Russian Advance has such a hold upon his party in Indiana, that his reelection t othe Senate has been determined upon a year in advance of the legislature which elects his successor. The last Republican convention, in April, formally endorsed him for reelection as his own successor and made him the candidate of the party. This is the first time in the history of Indiana that either party ever took such action.

There were five special trains of seven coaches each, and the King's county delegation had five special trains of six coaches each. All four trains bore large streamers showing what delegation was aboard. In the five minutes' stop here, the New Yorkers got out on the platform and made merry, some of them shooting firecrackers and otherwise disporting themselves as if they were out for a holiday. There were no women on board any of the four political trains. They were all politicians of more or less local renown, fresh from the various assembly districts of New York City. They were, of course, against Parker and were declaring they were for Cleveland or McClellan. either DAD DOYS Break Into Farmers' Houses and Are Arrested. Depredations have been committed for some time by boys living in the vicinity of the Starr schol house and several farmers have suffered as a result. The last man to suffer at their hands was Henry Tubersing. The young lads broke into his house and ransacked things generally. The following young fellows were arrested charged with housebreaking: Otto Dye, Charles Tiffany and Jacob Weist The young miscreants were brought before judge Fox this morning and he discharged them under an indefinate postponement of the hearing. The judge thinks by being arrested the boys were sufficiently punished for this time, but if their actions are repeated he will deal differently with them. KIDWELL TRIAL.

ACCIDENTS

ON FOOBTH SMALLER NUMBER OF THEM THAN FOR MANY YEARS DEADLY TOY PISTOLS Caused Little Damage List of Injuries Requiring a Doctor's Attention. The Fourth of July has eome and gone. In its wake it, as usual, leaves a number of injuries more or less severe, together with many fatalities throughout the country. In Richmond the number of accidents was smaller than ever before. Last year the deadly toy pi.tol got in its work here as well as elsewhere, but this year the doctors who had had many fees in expectation for services to be rendered on the national holiday, were disappointed. One reason for the decrease in the number of accidents was probably the fact that the toy pistols enjoyed a very small sale. The "new"' thing for celebration which has come is the cane, which shoots dynamite caps. So great was the demand for these that the merchants were all sold out yesterday and the demand for them in the afternoon and evening could not be filled. lhere were the usual number of face burns of powder, hand bums caused by the explosion of firetrackers, unexepectedly, and many other minor accidents, mostly caused by carelessness, which were all treated at home. i, :j x i v doctor's care was needed were: Finger Shot Robert Moore, of 239 Smith West Second street, shot hiiself in the fleshy part of the forefinger with a toy pistol. It is a serious case and may result in lockjaw. Thrown from a Wagon Rawlie Thorpe, State street,, while returning from a Fourth of July fishing trip, was thrown fro ma wagon. No bones were broken. Hand Torn Frank McDonald. 411 Xorth Nineteenth street, suffered an injury in the tearing of the tissues of his right hand by the premature explosion of a common cracker. His finger tips were torn also. Face Burned Four cases of face burn by powder were reported bv Dr. Bond. Hand .Hurt John Gray, aged about thirteen, living in the east end of the city, had his hand burned with powder.

Shot in Hand Elmer Potter, aged G. of 603 North Thirteenth street, was shot in the hand by a blank cartridge. The wad had to be cut out. Shot in Eye Mrs. Anthony, of 2S South Third street, was shot in the eye with a firecracker. Shot in Hand Pearl Shepherd, of 79 Ft. Wayne avenue, was accidentally shot on the back of the right hand, which she had thrown up to defend her face. It was a narrow escape.

She fell from a street car at eighth and North B streets. Leg Burned Oran Schepman, a small orphan boy, was severely injured by the explosion of a cannon yesterday.
