of fatalities to q and the injured to forty.
An eyewitness of the storm says: Two
horribly black clouds, one from the south
east and the other from the southwest met
and seemed to rend and tear each other
like wild beasts. Continuous flashes of
lightning made the scene brighter than
dav for over al hour. Above the wild roar
of the wind could occasionally be heard
5hrcks of the dying men, women and
children. When the storm subsidized nc
aid was at hand and none be got until the

his way to Cleveland to attend big land
suit in which he and his family are inter-
ested, the trial of which begins to-day.
The suit would bring him into possession
Of a tract Of valuable property which be-
3oDged to his grandfather, and which, it
was claimed, was sinned away by the old
man while insane. Should he succeed.
Bill will be worth AL the way from one to
Ghree million dollars, which will help him
10 extend still further his already extensive
cattie~raising business on the North Platte.
He stated to a friend this morning that
before the suit was commenced he had an
offer Of compromise at $500, 900 from
two parties representing small interest
in the property involved.
AIr and Mrs. Scoville had a pleasant and
friendly meeting to-day at the Brunswick
Hotel, and after some private talk Mrs.
Bcoville gave up her room and they went

Rats on Ships.

Rats greatly infest ships, and are by
them conveyed to every part of the
world. So industriously do they make
homes for themselves in the numerous
crannies and corners in the hull of a
ship, that it Is impossible to get rid of
them. Ships take out rats as well as
passengers and cargo, every voyage;
whether the former remain in the ship
at port is best known to themselves.
When the East India Company had
ships of their own they employed a rat
catcher, who sometimes captured 500
rats in one ship just returned from CAL
cutta. The ship rat Is often the black
species. Sometimes black and brown
inhabit the same vessel, and unless they
carry on perpetual hostilities, one party
will keep in the head Of the vessel and
the other to the stern. The ship rat Is
very anxious that his supply of fresh
water shall not fail; he will come on
deck when it rains, and climb up to the
wet sails to suck them. Sometimes he
mistakes q spirit cask for water cask,
and he gets drunk. A captain on an
American ship is credited (or discred-
ited) with an ingenious bit of sharp
practice as a means of clearing his ship
from rats. Having discharged cargo
at port in Holland, he found his ship
In juXtaposition to- another which had
Just taken in cargo of Dutch cheese.
He laid q plank at night from one vessel
to the other; the rats, tempted by the
odor, trooped along the plank and be-
gan the feast. He took care that the
plank should not be there to serve them
as pathway back again, and so the
cheese laden ship had q cruel addition

Mrs. ABRAHAM LINCOLN is defended
with true womanly championship by
Mary Clemmer in the Independent. She
saws that "when she came TO the White
House in the prime of life, though not
beautiful, she had points of great beauty.
She had loveable and in some respects bril-
liant faculties. She was keen, witty, sar-
castle, with a sharp sense of the ridicu-
lous, and marvellous power of mimicry.
Her husband treated her always with the
greatest gentleness and tenderness. No
wonder she was never comforted for the
1oss-of her great consoler, lover and friend.
The intelligence of Mrs. Lincoln by the
country at large has always been greatly
underrated. She was by no means an illit-
crate woman. No woman who has since
presided over the White House, except
ing Mrs. Garfield, has been able to write
a personal note that could compare in ele-
ganee with those written habitually by
Mrs Lincoln Her earlier education had
been intrusted to French lady. She
wrote fiuently in French and the missives
that came from her hands were in all re
specIs the communications of an accom-
plished and intelligent woman. She had
very keen perceptions, and when her fan
cies did not interfere with them read
human nature accurately as she gave am
pie proof in her judgement of Abraham
Lincoln, who, when others deemed him of
small account, she always declared he
would live to prove himself great man.

A Cadaver Wanted.

"Now, when you reach Macon you
60 and see Colonel Blank" they told
me at the Constitution Office in Atlanta.
''The Colonel knows everybody for
miles around, and he'll post you on ev-
erything."
nThanks."
But he's peculiar man, :" continued
Grady. "You've got to strike him Just
right or he won't talk for shucks. He's
strictly temperate, and yet you must
take flask along and ask him to drink
It's an old Southern custom, you know,
and while he won't touch drop, he'll
expect to be invited to. You can fill the
flask with water, and he'll never know
the difference"
When reached Macon 1 arranged
for a call on the Colonel. I bought a
pint flask at a drugstore, and told the
clerk to fill it with something good to
soothe q sore heel. 1 didn't ask him
what it was, but sniff or two convinced
me that sweet oil and tar formed the
greater portion. With this bottle in my
pocket entered the Colonel's office
and told him who 1 was and what /
wanted.
"Y Yes, sir; glad to see you-sit down, {"
he replied, and as soon as he had sealed
his letters he turned and began:
$50 you want to know what we can
raise here, do you. Well, my boy, you
can say everything-everything. We
raise wheat, corn, oats, potatoes, yams
aud"
Just then he looked over to the water
cooler and put in with
"Say, Colonel, have drop of some-
thing good put up by the best house
here"
Thanks-that's just what 1 was
hankering after!" he replied, as he held
out his hand for the flask.
How got out of there alive can't
remember, nor can recollect what be-
came of the bottle, but there is whole
newspaper staff in Atlanta who may look
upon themselves as doomed men. The
Colonel took his quart daily, and it was
put-up job to get hold of my dead
body for new medical college at Sa-

The Prohibitionists.

We publish the proceedings of the Lo-
rain County Prohibition Convention by
request of the Secretary. and because we
would not, by refusing to do so, seem to be
in opposition to any movement for the pro-
motion of temperance principles whose
spread we most heartily desire, but we
cannot refrain from making a few observa-
tions in this csnnection.
We suppose we must give those engaged
in this very independent movement credit
for sincerity, but their wisdom We cannot
indorse, and against their good taste in
asking Republicans who can lay as good
clsim to honesty as themselves to publish
such resolution as the first given in the
account of the proceedings, we must enter
a most emphatic protest. When we come
to entertain the opinion that party is so
insincere and dishonest that their course
may be justly described as "shuffiing" and
s'unreliable" and "hypocritical" and such
as to sdebase'' any honest man who acts
with them, we hope we may not be so for
yetful of the ordinary rules of politeness
as to ask that party's organs to publish
resolutions setting forth that fact. We
should not expect them to do us such a
favor if the case was reversed, unless they
might suppose that by aiding us to make
such an exhibition of ourselves we would
be more damaged than they, which motive
they are at liberty to attribute to us if they
choose. 1t would be charitable to con-
clude that it was an oYersight-that the
real significance of such request did not
occur to them-otheiwise we could not
avoid the very obvious conclusion that it
was downright insult.
We believe we are as sincerely and
heartily in favor of prohibition as any

don't know how to account for, lit is the
most foolish policy in The world to take

there's nothing the matter with you.

about it, and may be trifling with your

you will be alright, or write to the Doc
