lima. offered an amendment TO the bill for the
protection Of the Texas frontier, providing
that no troops be withdrawn from South
Carolina 50 long as the militia of that State,
peacefully assembled are assaulted ,disarmed
taken prisoners and then mastered in
cold blood by lawless bands Of men invading
that State from the State of Georgia. He
sent to the clerks desk and had read a
statement of the Hamburg massacre publish
ed as correspondence in the Washington
Republican.
Mr. Cochrane. OF Pennsylvania, asked
Mr. Smalls who the writer of the article
was?
Mr.. Smalls-If tie gentleman desires the
name to be given in order that the writer
may be killed. he will not get il from me.
! lie is lawyer in the town Of Aiken.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, spoke Of the an
onym0us letter having been endorsed By
the gentleman from South Carolina (Smalls)
and asked who endorsed the gentleman.
! (Nlrmurs of disapprobation from the Repub-
lican side Of the House)
Mr. Rainey, of South Carolipa-A large

Mr.. Smalls-A majority Of 1900.

The Storm on Sunday.

On tie 10Th inst, and onward there
were violent hurricanes in the West
India Islands, and the approach OF
storm in this region was indicated. 1t
came upon us ON Saturday night ana
continued with great violence until
midnight on Sunday. Nearly three
inches of rain fell in New York city
and vicinity, much of the time 1t was
accompanied with high wind. On Sun
day evening, trees, sign boards, and
chimnpys were blown down throughout
New York city, but no person was serl-
ously injured. The Gospel.tent erected
by the congregation of DR.. Tying, Jr.,
in Thirty-fourth street, was blown
down. A hurricane struck the tent at
about p. m, and snapped the guys as
though they were threads, broke of the
outer wall poles and finally snapped
the great centre pole. This last was
more than twelve inches in diameter
The canvass was split in several places
and the immense corona of gas In the
centre was much damaged. Within
minute the mammoth tent was laid low
and presented complete wreck.
At Philadelphia some of the glass In
the windows of the Main Exhibition
building and Machinery Hall was forced
out, causing considerable damage to
exhibits, chiefly British and American.
The government and several Of the State
buildings were also damaged, but to nc
serious extent. A portion OF the ROOF
of the Transcontineutal Hotel, situated
near the Exhibition grounds, was car
ried away. In all sections OF the city
trees, roofs, and chimneys were carried
away and several persons injured, bu'
none seriously. At Trenton, N D..
the storm caused much damage to prop
prty. Several streets were blockadeC
| by trees torn from their roots, which
limpeded the passage of vehicles. Man!
| frame buildings were damaged, am
some i'm course OF erection were blowl
down. The roofs Of houses were b,Owl
off.
The telegraph poles and wires wer
very extensively blown down, and tple
graph communication was suspended ol
Monday on mauy lines.
! Later accounts describe the storm q
having extended far down the Atlanti
Coast. At Norfolk and CapeMay tn
wind blew at the rate of 70 miles a
hour. At Cape May the gale unroofe
a portion of Congress Hall, hurting th
fragments against the cottage of Gee
IIildre,h, demolishing it. The roof {
the Stockton House was also carrie
away. Two cottages near the Stock
ton House, belonging to q. w. Grie

Obituary..

Rev. Edmond S. James, senior Bish-
op of the NJ. e. Church, died at his
home in New York Monday, few
minutes before one O'Clock. His health
had been greatly impaired TO" some
time, yet true to the energy and pur-
pose of his wonderful life he toiled on
to within two or three weeks of his de-
parture. The protracted sickness of
his beloved wife, which terminated in
death only three weeks ago, has prob
ably contributed to bring about this sad
event. Born in 1907 in Sheffield, Berk-
shire county, Mass, he had given to
the service OF the Church Of God forty
six years of wise, discreet, fatful and
unremitting toll. He joined the Phila-
delphia Conference in 1880. was six
years a pastor, then appointed agent of
the Dickinson College in its days of
weakness. After two years service he
returned to the pastorate. In 1910 he
was appointed financial secretary of the
American Bible Society, and sent to
labor chiefly in the South. In 1874
he was chosen Bishop of the NJ. E.
Church by the undivided Methodism
of the nation. From the time of his
election to this Office to the time of his
death, he was almost without peer in
labor AMI love and interest for the
Church OF his choice. 1t may justly be
said that his labors have covered a
larger part.Of the territory of this land
than those of any minister now living.
His preaching ability was of the high
est order, clear, fOrcible, eloquent, win.
