RocHEsrEI, MINI, August 24.-The
streets Of the city are full Of people from all
over the State from curiosity, and some 10
care for friends, while large number are
prominent men from all portions Of the
State to see the effect OF the cyclone, that
they may know the extent and needs Of the
victims. On every side can be heard OF
some new freaks or power Of the monster
till the heart sickens at their recital.
Reports from the hospital are to
the effect that the children are
much improved while some Of the n.en are,
worse and cannot live. The list Of the
killed has been exaggerated through the
confusion OF names. Careful inquiry shows
sixteen comprises all instantly Killed. The
reason assigned by the city undertakes
Tor the error Is that four were said to haye
been taken into the cemetery by friends,
which is not true, and the names four
other victims were incorrectly given and
thus aided to swell the suggestions list.

OF two hundred houses which stood be.

MASSIVE Ruins.


About mile from the town OF Lompoc
are the most massive ruins l have ever
seen. Ihave never seen the broken walls
OF Nineyah and Babylon, but thoseof Lom-
poe must have some resemblance TO them
in bulk, II not in architectural symmetry.
What refer to is the wreck Of the old
Catholic Mission, built generations ago by
Jesuit Priests. It was formerly the largest
work OF the kind on the Pacific coast, and
there are many OF the same kind at Mon
terey, San Luis 0bispo, Margarita, Jonata,
Santa Barbara, and dozens of other places.
These Missions were built by converted
Indians, superintended by the Jesuits.
They arc partly built OF wood, partly OF
stone, but principally Of adobe, or unburnt
brick. Nearly all the Missions are now In
rnins, but some are used as churches.
rheir object was to be the nucleus Of colo.
mics. and as central points Of missionary
work among the Indians:
/ was in hurry when was at Lompoc
and had not time nor opportunity to collect
figures and dates, but, as guees, should
Bay that the Lompoc mission covered not
less than ten acres OF ground, But, this
giyes a poor idea OF the work Of oibuilding 1t.
1ts walls are from four to six leet thick. Its
roof was tiles, made OF clay, worked into
shape and hardened in the sun, and the
whole bulk could not, under the least esti.
mate, have weighed less than 10, 600 tons
This was the roof, not 10 mention the i'm.
mense quantity OF hewn timber required to
snpport the roof. All this had to be done
by manual labor, and very few horses were
used TO do the heavy hauling. 0tthe wood
work, the doors, floors, ceilings, arches, &c,
nave no data from which to estimate.
There must have been 100000 bricks in
the walls, and the bricks are large. Then
there were vast quantities OF carving for the
alters, railipgs, balconies, archetrayes, cor.
ridors, sanctum sanctorums, and other ex-
tra touches. All this required labor, and
the lnaterial-the wood-was not plentiful,
and had TO be carried from distant parts,
with labor greater than that Of the Romans
| in building their battering rams to break
down the walls OF Jerusalem. The calcu-
lations which ! give are little better than
guess work. ! have no reliable statistics
10 refer to; there may be such, but l have
not seen them. | am inclined, however, to
regard my figures too small rather than too
large. a..

Upon the Western Circuit, whittier Mr..
Celeriege went, he soon attained promi-
nent position. He was remarkable for his
great forensic powers associated with an
eloquence far above the ordinary range Of
the bar, and he accordingly ran rapidly to
the front rank and became the leader OF
the Circuit His rise was then assured, and
some nine years after his call to the bar he
was appointed Recorder OF Portsmouth. In
1861 be was made Queens Counsel and
nominated Bencher Of the Middle Tenn

having secured Parliamentary seat he was
made one OF the chief law advisers OF the
Crown and was knighted in the usual

Frank James In Court FOR the Blue Cut
Train Robbery.

GAL1ATIN, Mo-, August 24-The jury that
Is trying the case of the State VS.. Frank
James spent the night in charge Of the
Sheriff. 1t was much discussed at the
hotels, and the opinion is generally ex-
pressed that's verdict Of guilty is out Of
the question, a hung jury is probable, an
acquittal possible. A solid Democratic
Jury, the youth and associations Of
lour OF the number and the ex Confederate
record OF six OF the number give, rise to
this belief. Last night Dick Liddle aud
Mrs. ,Hite arrived. Liddell this morning
showed up on the streets with two long
navy revolvers strapped to this waist.
Promptly at s o'clock this morning the
Court convened. The witnesses being ex-
cluded from the Court room, the attend
ance was not go large as yesterday. A
number OF ladies' occupied seats.
Judge Goodman announced that counsel
would be allowed IN hour in which to
present the case to the jury.
The defense waived its right to the pre-
sentation Of their case and the taking OF
testimony commenced. The tlst witness
was ]. l.. Penn, OF Colfax, Iowa, a stone.
mason, VINO was in the company OF Nc.
MILAN at tho time OF his death. He re.
lated how he and four others, including
Mcmillan, boarded a car at Winston; how
three men came in the car with reyol-
yers In each hand; how Mcmillan
walked up to look through the win
dow and all the circumstances OF the
robbery. On cross.examination he admit
ted he couldn't identify any OF the three
men, as they were masked.
Adds Wilcott, engineer Of the train, was
the second witness. He related how
couple Of maskedmen jumped on the train
and compelled him 10 obey orders ut the
muzzle OF revolvers.
Frank stamper, bapgageman, told his ex-
perience during the robbery; how he was
pulled from the car by the lex and threat.
ened with revolver.
Charles Murray, United States Express
Agent, related how he was forced
to open the safe by two men in masks,
armed with reyolyers. Two physicians
then, testified as to the nature Of the
wound causing McAIillan'a death. This
concluded the testimony OF the State in 80
far as the killing is concerned, and the
court then adjourned.

NEw YoRE, August 24.-Lord Coleridge,
Gilbert Coleridge, his SOB, James Hunter,
NJ. p, and Charles Russell, NJ. p, were
met in the Bay on the arrival of the Celtic
this morning by members Of the Bar Asso-
citation, and transferred to a yacht where
breakfast awaited them. After sailing up
the East and North rivers the party landed
and were driven to the residence Of E. I.
Sheppard, where Lord Coleridge and
friends will be guests during their stay in
this city. This evening dinner was given
at Mr.. shephard's, at which General Han
cock was present. sL- .
In Lord Chief Justice Coleridge We shall
welcome the highest functionary who has
ever left England to visit America. Next
to royalty, there is only one higher, the
Lord Chancellor, and he by the terms Of
the law can only leave his post by putting
the Great Seal into commission, trouble
some and expensive proceeding, costing
some $1,000, and only to be resorted to in
case Of urgent necessity. Again, it is an
event of the deepest interest to the legal
profession here.
Lord Coleridge bears name associated
not only with some OF the masterpieces OF
English literature but with the legal his.
tory OF England for the last century. His
grandiather, Rev. John Coleridge, was
goodly pastor and an author Of some talent.
A kindly but absent-minded man was the
Rev. John, who was the father Of Samuel
Taylor Colerdge, the poet, and OF the
Right Hon. Sir John Coleridge, the father
OF the present Lord Chief.Justice. Sir
John Taylor Coleridge stands eminent
among the judges Of England, though his
own honors have been transcribed by
those OF his son.
Born in the year 1921, Lord Coleridge
had the advantage Of an Eton curriculum
under his uncle, the Rev. Edward Cole
ridge, and in course OF time passed on to
Oxford University. As an undergraduate
he was distinguished for his studiousness
and varied scholarship, and as speaker
and debater at the ..Union" debating 80.
ciety he was never surpassed. He obtained
q ascholarship at Ballioi College after keen
competition with some OF bis fellow.stu.
dents and was aiterward elected to q fellow
ship at Exeter College, graduating as bach
elor OF arts in 1872 and as master OF arts
iu 1916. Called to the bar at the end Of
The same year, he entered upon his career
with every advantage which fortune could
bestow upon him. Il
