'riii 1 conclave after being in session for four days yes terday elected (iuUeppe .Sarto, pa triarch of Venice, as pope to succeed Leo XIII and lie now reigns at the Vatican and over the Catholic world as Pius X. His election and the assumption of his holy office were marked by a striking demonstration and inipres-1 hive ceremonies .it the Vatican. Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto was born I THE NEW POPE PIUS X. Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto, Chosen Successor to the Late Pope Leo XIII. Tit Kiese, province of Venice, June 2, 13113. lie was very learned in tlie ec clesiastical doctrines, is modest, en ergetic, a good administrator and or ganizer, n patron of the arts and his seriousness always lias been prover bial. Cardinal .Sarto belonged to the ec clesiastical congregations of bishops and regulars, sacred rites, itidul- j genecs and sacred relics. He enjoy- ! eil great popularity in his diocese, i lie is honored by all for his purity, | for the strict uprightness of his li,fe J and for liberal ideas, lie is a modest i and agreeable man, highly cultivated, j very kind hearted and still strong ■ and robust in spite of his 08 years. | Jie has never taken great part in the political and public life of the church, but divided his time in study and , good works. Although most faithful to the Holy See he was presented to the king and fjueen of Italy in Venice. lie was considered among the more liberal ■ members of the Italian episcopate and sacred college. It is said that ! Leo XIII sided with him on one occa sion when Sarto disapproved of Hani- | polla's policy. Pius X was only 21! when he was consecrated a priest at Castel France, : acting afterwards for nine years as i coadjutor to the pari-h priest of 1 Tombolo, province of Padua, a small; village of 2,'JaO people, who were the first to appreciate his virtues, llis J kindness wan untiring. He sought to fill their wants and never a murmur ! was heard when lie was called in the j middle of a winter night to a death- j bed which proved to be nothing of | the kind. lie gave freely of his very . small means until he often went ] without meals himseif, but lie kept j many a poor family from starvation, j In IS".") he was elected chancellor of the bishopric of Treviso, then spir itual director of that seminary, judge | of the eclesiastical tribunal and final- S ly vicar general. Pope Leo. who had highly appre ciated his cleverness, piety and mod esty, appointed him in .November, lssj, at the age of 4'J years, bishop of Mantua, where he remained nine years, until 1893, when he was made a cardinal and appointed patriarch of Venice. He there distinguished himself as a thorough reformer, sup pressing all abuses, restoring the dignity of the clergy and the earnest ness of religion. To him is due the revival of a Gregorian chant in the beautiful churches overlooking the lagoons, and to him is due the strict return to liturgic rules. Sarto became the idol of the Vene tians. When his gondola went through the canals the people rushed on the bridges and along the sides of the canals, kneeling and saluting, the women exclaiming "(iod blf>ss the patriarch." The election of the patriarch of Venice was unanimous. After Mon day's ballots it was a foregone con clusion that he was the only candi date sufficiently acceptable to all to secure the necessary two-thirds, which the laws • ' the church require. One of the cardinals said last night that he believed Pius X would follow the broad lines of Leo's policy, al though not likely to accentuate it. This voices the general feeling here, which is one of satisfaction. \V 111 teen Commit 'luriler. Lewislurg, Term.. \ug. 5.

SCHWAB RESIGNS. Wm. i:. (urrv I naiilin»ii«ly (Circled l'rc»l<leli I <>l (lie I ■■ I leil Ma Ici Mi l l | Corporation. New Vork, Aug. 5. —The resignation of Charles M. Schwab as president of I the Cnited States Steel Corporation I was tendered and accepted at a meet- I ing of the directors yesterday. YVill- iam E. Corey was unanimously elect ed his successor. Mr. Schwab's resignation caused no surprise in financial circles, where it had for some time been foreshadow ed. The new president was for years one of Andrew Carnegie's ablest lieu tenants and is now president of the . Carnegie Steel Co., one of the sub sidiary concerns of the United States | Steel Corporation. It is scarcely | more than a month ago that Mr. I Corey was made assistant to the ! president (Mr. Schwab) because of i the latter's continued ill health. I Mr. Schwab attended Tuesday's , meeting of the directors, coming to I town, it was said, for that especial purpose. He appeared to be in good health and spirits and seemed rather i glad to be relieved of the duties im i posed on the chief executive of the i "billion dollar corporation." Before and after the meeting Mr. Schwab j conferred with ,1. P. Morgan. Immediately after the election of his successor Mr. Schwab met the : press representatives, to whom he j made this informal statement: i"I want to say that I think I have ] been treated very unfairly by the newspapers in regard to the reasons for my retirement. A number of reasons, including this American shipbuilding matter, have been given for it, but none of them is true. As a matter of fact the shipbuilding question has never been a subject of discussion between myself and the ! directors. "On my return from I'll rope six months ago I tried to get Mr. Mor gan and the directors to accept my resignation, but was unable to do so. That does not look as if I had been ' forced out. Later I appealed to Mr. ; Frick and through him have finally succeeded in inducing' the directors to accept my resignation. lam as deep ly interested in the I'nited States Steel Corporation as ever. I am still the largest stockholder and remain as director and member of the execu tive committee. My retirement is on account of ill health—nervousness. I have been in bad health for six months or more." The new president has entered upon his duties and with his election the steel corporation has inaugurat ed a new policy. '1 here will be less centralization of power and increased responsibility in the work of the vari ous committees. Held In $25,000 Hull. Hartford, Conn., Aug. s.—Oliver T.

B.—An airbrukfe 011 llii- second section of Wallace Bros.' circus train refused to work in the Grand Trunk railway .yards here early Friday, causing 1 a collision be tween the two sections in which 23 people were killed and over a do/en injured. The circus travels in two trains of about 35 cars each. After Thursday \ night's exhibition at Charlotte the two trains left for Lapeer over the (irand Trunk road, the second section leaving a half hour after the first. It was 3:45 o'clock when the first sec tion pulled into the west end of the Grand Trunk yards here. A red light was hung on the rear car to stop the second section. Engineer I'robst, of Mat tie Creek, who was running the engine of the rear train, says he saw this light and applied the airbrake. To his horror it. refused to work. lie reversed his engine, itut the momentum of the heavy train behind was too great and with a crash that aroused all of the town near the yards, the two trains met. Three cars of the stationary first section were telescoped and the engine and five cars of the moving train were demolished. The rear ear of the lirst section, the caboose in which the trainmen were sleeping and the next two were filled with sleeping circus employes. The great est loss of life; was in the caboose. One of the wrecked ears of the sec ond section was occupied by five ele phants and several camels. One of the elephants and two camels were killed outright, while the other ani mals and their trainer escaped. With the exception of this car none of the menagerie was wrecked, the other de molished ears containing canvas or wagons, and there was comparatively little excitement among the wild ani mals. As soon as they recovered from the first shock, the trainers rushed among the cages quieting the few beasts that were excited. The elephants in the wrecked car behaved with surprising calmness and were led out of the wreck without trouble. The escaping steam and screams and cries of those pinned in the wreck made a horrifying spectacle in the gray of early morning, when the trainmen in the yards and the arous ed townspeople first reached the scene. Many feared at first that some of the menagerie had escaped, 111 discussing the question of re sponsibility for the horror, the rail road officials unhesitatingly lay it to Engineer Probst of the second sec tion of the train. Probst says that the airbrake of his train refused to work, but the officials declare that he could have stopped tne train in time to have avoided serious consequences. The official report on the accident, Issued by Superintendent Brownlce, declares positively that the airbrakes have been tested since the accident, anil found to be in perfect condition and there is evidence that they were not applied. One of the officials in discussing the accident and its causes said he be lieved that Engineer I'robst had ex hausted his air in checking his train several times between Lansing and Durand and failed to again charge his tank. The head brakeman and fire man. who were 011 the engine, bear out Probst's statement that the brakes refused to work. Detroit, Mich., Aug. S.—Twenty-two of the injured eirens men were brought to Uetroit Friday afternoon in a special hospital train and taken to Harper hospital. At the Hospital last night it was stated that none of them was likely to die, although John Thomson, of Peru, Ind.; George dough. of Geneva, 0., and .lames Stewart, of Denver, Col., are in a serious condition and may not re cover. The Pullman ear that brought the injured from the scene of the wreck was a pitiful sight when it pulled into Detroit. The interior looked like a battlefield after a tierce encounter. Suffering men lay in every imaginable posture in the berths, swathed in crimsoned bandages that bore silent witness to their wounds. Moans and stifled cries told the story of their agonies. It was impossible to carry the stretchers through the narrow, crooked doors of the ear and the suf fering men were put through the windows as gently as possible and taken to the hospital. Those able to talk told graphic tales of their suffer ings and agonies, mental as well as physical, while pinned down in the wreck. A I! ii inn lie Order. Washington, Aug.

Twenty-five years ago he joined the corporation known as the Preachers' Aid society and in 1891 was elected treasurer of the organization. His accounts have been audited each year and securities making up the per manent fund have been examined.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE. flood Iteports Collin from Nearly All llram-liPM of llii«fur><i, New York. Aug. S.—l!, (i. Dun & Co.'s Weekly IJeview of Trade says: Trade advices from nearly every section continue to show as favorable conditions as a year ago, and in many lines the volume of transactions has increased. Jobbers report fall busi ness opening with excellent prospects and manufacturing plants are well oc cupied with the exception of cotton mills. Distribution of merchandise is so heavy that railway equipment already proves inadequate, although crops are not the factor that they will be in a few weeks. Earnings for July exceeded last year's by 12.7 per cent. On the whole, news from the farms is less favorable, but no serious cur tailment is assured, and many sec tions make very bright reports. A decline of 1.5 per cent, in the cost of commodities during July is evidence that prices are less inflated, since the change was mainly in meats and other food which have been ruling at an abnormal position. Consumption of iron and steel is on a large scale, and in many depart ments the past week has witnessed the signing of numerous contracts, but there is a tendency to delay pur chases beyond early needs. There were 17s commercial failures this week in the United States against l'.Mi the corresponding wcck last year, and in Canada 19, against 14 last year. \ Itrcali in Nirlkrr»' Itmik*.

"In accov<t•-nee with the provisions of the act of congress of June .'{o, the undersigned will retire from active service August S, 1903. "In relinquishing the command of the army of the United States, to which lie was assigned by the presi dent October 2, 1595, he hereby ac knowledges his annreciation of the fidelity manifested by the officers and soldiers during the past eventful years. "To those who were his compan ions and associates during one of the greatest of all wars lie takes pleasure in expressing his gratification that they have lived through the trials anil dangers of long service to wit ness the results of their fortitude, heroism and unselfish devotion to the welfare of their country. They have also in a most commendable manner exemplified to the younger genera tion of soldiers those principles of discipline and patriotism which make flic army the protector and defend er, and never the menace of the na tion and its liberties. "The time and occasion are con sidered opportune for expressing to lhe army a few thoughts concerning its pus) and that which may affect its future welfare. It 's from the best impressions and influences of the past that most desirable results may be realized in the future. "Unswerving devotion to our gov ernment and the principles upon which if v established and has been maintained .s essential to the ef ficiency of the national forces and especially is this so in a democratic government where the individual, in. order to lie a perfect soldier, must first be a true citizen. The boast that every soldier of a great nation car ried a marshal's baton in his knap sack is in a higher sense more than equaled in significance by the fact that every American soldier person ifies sovereign citizenship and may by his own conduct exemplify impartial justice to those who have never ex perienced it and the results of the highest liberty to those who have been strangers to it, there by aiding to secure for his country a moral influence not otherwise attainable. "All honorable activity and life for the army must exist within the well defined lines of patriotism, untar nished honor, sterling integrity, im partial justice, obedience to rightful authority and incessant warfare against armed enemies. Always to maintain truth, honor and justice re quires the highest moral courage and is equally as important as fortitude in battle. Drill, discipline and in struction are hut preparatory for the perfection and efficiency of an arm v. "The events of recent years have placed upon the army n new obliga tion and an opportunity for a broader exemplification of its country's prin ciples. The I'nited States army is now brought into daily communica tion with millions of people to whom its individual members of every grade are the exponents of American civil ization. A serious duty and a great honor are now presented to every of ficer and soldier, namely, to exempli fy to those with whom lie comes in contact our country's principles of equal awl exact justice, immunity from violence and equality before the law." tiuvr $5,000 Kail.
