animal and spiritual; that the conflicts of life
are simply the conflicts between the under ard

the seventh chapter OF Romans where Paul
regards sin as if it were a monster lying in wait
for men. Is there a man that doesn't understand
that Is not the chapter a journal of your own
experience? 1t is the history of man from the
beginning, and sin itself has developed along the
line where the animal man meets the spiritual
man. and there is eternal storm and clouds that
never blow away and thunders that never die
out. Here we have a conception OF the true
doctrine Of sinfulness. The fact of 1t IS indis-

SWEPT BY A FLOOD.

The Breaking OF an Ice-Gorge In the MIS-
souri, River mandates the Adjacent Lands
E-Many Homes and Much Other properly
Destroyed, and Several Lives Lost.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 19.-The thaw OF
the last few days has done great injury at
various points along the Missouri River,
through the counties of Carroll, Ray n
Lafayette. In Carroll County the water
spread out several miles, and hundreds OF
farmers left their homes, many being res
cued with boats, leaving household effects
behind. In that county alone the loss will
reach many thousands of dollars, and
at least three or four lives are known
to have been lost. The wheat crop, en-
bracing hundreds of acres is completely
ruined. This loss falls, as a general thing.
upon a class of people ili-prepared to stand
it, as they are small farmers. Some not
only lost their household effects, clothing,
and stock of provisions, but cattle, horses
and chickens, and many are left in q needy
and distressed condition. The loss by flood
alone thus far will reduce the wheat crop OF
Missouri to a considerable extent.
The situation at Waverly, a small village
in Lafayette County, is very serious. The
water stands out over the Waveriy bottoms
from one to fifteen feet deep. This bottom
covers q ETrltOIy OIL DIN HIlACS up oiNO uoNA
the river and not less than one back, en-
bracing hundreds of farms. Many of the
farmers are yet i'll their houses, some having
been forced to the second story; Others are
in trees, and a scene of great desola-
ton is presented. The waste of waters is
charging. Hundreds of head of stock have
persisted, many having been drowned while
tied up in the stables. Rescuing parties
are out in fiat-boats and skiffs, endeav-
oring to save suffering people, A number
have been taken to land, but many are yet
III their water prisons.
The food at Waverly was caused by the
ice forming a gorge a few miles above the
town of Waverly. This forced the water
over the bank and spread it over the vast
territory, imperiling many lives. 1t is esti-
mated that the loss so far, outside of stock,
will reach 100000. The latest news from
that section is to the effect that hundreds OF
men are out rescuing those still in their
houses. Among the rescued were Mrs.
Judge Thomas, who was driven from her
house by the water and took refuge upon a
hill surrounded by water, where she had
been for two days and nights without food
or shelter. They also rescued Mr..
Van Meter, wife and children
from the second story of their
house. They had been there without food
since the beginning of the overflow, two
days ago. Herds of cattle have been
drowned, and many tales of suffering are
told by people who went for several days
without food and were at last miraculOusly
rescued

Maniac

GOSHEN, Ind, March 19.-WilliamH Hub
bell, OF Whitley County, with his wife, was
yesterday visiting his brother. While alone
with his wife he pulled a pistol and fired,
killing her. He then put the pistol to his
own head and inflicted a fatal wound. He
was insane and had heard of arrangements
to take him to a lunatic asylum.
NEWARK, N. j., March 19.-At a late
hour Tuesday night William Mulcahy, a
patient in the Essex County Lunatic Asy-
lum, was murdered by Herman Fuchs, an
other lunatic. The murdered man was a
criminal patient, having been arrested two
months ago for larceny. He was sem
fenced to the penitentiary, but became
insane and refused to eat anything. Food
was administered by force. Tuesday night
he was lying on the bed, while the keeper
was on duty in another part of the ward,
when Fuchs entered his room, and, picking
up a spittoon, dealt him two heavy blows on
the forehead, crushing in his skull. Fuchs
said he had killed Mulcahy because he
wanted HIM to go to Heaven.

me OCEAN CATTLE TRADE
Reasons Why the Dead Meat Trade shou,s
Re Preferred.

Reasons Why the Dead Meat Trade Sho,,,
BE Preferred.
Putting other considerations aside
there is one reason, and that a yerv
strong one, why all humane people
should wish to see the Importation Of
live cattle from distant countries re.
placed by the dead meat trade. This is.
the horrible sufferings too often en-,
dured by the miserable animals durinn
heavy weather. A gentleman who has
just landed at Liverpool from New
York gives his experience of what han
pened en- route ''in a w%ell-ordered
steamship" She had on deck when
leaving port n hundred and thirty
two fine beasts; only siXty-seven of
these were landed alive. All the rest
persisted in q succession of gales, beinp
rolled about the deck with every lurc6
of the ship. The t1imsy sheds which
had been constructed for their protec.
ton were soon washed away, and then
ensued a most horrible scene. Their
horns were broken off at the root, and
you could see them hanging from the
head with the blood pouring out. Their
knees were raw, their legs broken and
their sides gored as they tumblcd
against the iron winches and bulwarks
Of the ship. For a whole week this
went on, and, to make matters worse.
sometimes an entire day elapsed with
out food or water being given to the
poor creatures. The Captain and crew
did all in their power to mitigate their
sufferings, but the raging sea was
more merciful still when it swept away
the wounded and put them out of pain.
Owing, too, to the great weight of the
animals, they gradually battered wide
gaps in the ships bulwarks as they
dashed from side to side, and through
mi Of these openings the boatswain
was washed overheard and drowned.
Whether cattle should be allowed to be
carried on deck in transatlantic steam
ers during winter cen open to grave
question, but there can be no question
at all about the imperativeness Of so Sc
curing them as to prevent their becom-
ing shuttlecocks whenever stormy
weather sets in."-Londom Globe.

AN AWFUL

Terrible Explosion of Fire-Damp In a Coal.
Mine in Observation-Disclosures Two Hun.
dred Miners Buried, of Whom Only
Thirty Are Rescued Alive.
BERLIN, March ia terrible disaster
occurred i'll the mining village of Camp
Hansen, near Saurabruecken, yesterday,
by which it is believed fully two hundred
miners have lost their lives. The explosion
occurred in one of the large mines. The
miners had hardly begun the days work
when the tire-damp becoming ignited, ex-
ploded, causing a heavy cave-in around the
shaft and entrance to the mine. Over two
hundred men are known to have been in
the mine at the time of the explosion, and
oil efforts to reach them have thus
far been unsuccessful. 1t is feared
that they have all been either
crushed to death or asphyXiated. The
scenes in and around the mine are heart
rending. The wives, mothers and children
of the imprisoned men have focked around
the entrance to the mine, sobbing hysterical-
ly, and imploring of God to help them and
spare the lives OF dear ones entOmbed be-
low.
The latest reports state that ninety-eight
bodies have been recovered from the
wrecked mine. There are still one hundred
and W men and boys unaccounted for.
The work of exploration is being pushed as
actively as possible, but it is almost certain
that all who are now in the mine must be
dead, as the main shaft and the air appara-
tus were destroyed by the explosion. Thirty
OF the persons in the mine were saved.

cattlemen Lose by the Severe Winter.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, March 19.-Secretary At
water, of the National Cattle and Horse
Growers Association, returned here yester-
day from & tour of Texas. In his opinion
the losses to the cattlemen of that State
during the past winter will be from three to
five per cent. The winter there has been
the most severe ever known, and fully
1900 600 cattle have drifted southwark. The
closing Of the old trail north will compel
owners to throw much of their stock on the
market, and Mr.. Atwater thinks the price
of beef will no doubt be depressed in con-
sequence. Texas ranges are, he says, un.
doubleday overstoeked, and ranchmen will
have to get rid of their surplus.
