Destructive Avalanches.


A statistical memoir lately Issued by
the Italian Government gives some idea
of the great destruction caused annually
by avaianches in the Alpine districts of
Italy and the Tyrol. In the single dis
trict of the Val di Susa two avalanches
fell on January IS; one at Devies, be-
tween Exilles and Sutherland, was esti-
mated at about so meters long and 6
deep, and slid down the slope distance
Of about a kilometer. It's volume is
supposed to have been $50, 600 cubic
meters, and the weight of snow compos-
ing it was $1,000 tons. 1t DESTROYED 16
houses and killed 43 persons. The Sec
ond avalanche of January Is fell near
Venaus, was $50 meters long; its vol
ume was about 5000 900 cubic meters.
and it bore nearly $50, 900 tons of snow.
But, although the slide extended to
nearly 4 kilometers, only "a houses
were wrecked by it and six persons
killed. A third avalanche, which fell at
Mafiotto, and was computed to contain
little more than 1000 tons weight of
snow, was much more destructive, kill
ing IL persons and destroying 18 houses.

TIE ST. LOUIS MYSTERY.
Late Developments in the Maxwell Case
Favor the Theory That the Dead Body
Found Was Not that of PrelIer.

ST. LOUIS. No., Aug. 25.-Y esterday's
developments in connection with the South
ern Hotel mystery have led many to reas-
sert that Preller is not dead, and that the
body found in the trunk was taat of some
man as yet unknown. There is testimony
Louis drummer says that few days after
the body was found in the Southern Hotel
young man answering the description of
Preller appeared at Elston, Mo-, organ
lied a singing class, remained a
month, and then left without collect
ing his tuition fees. Before he left he gave
a plug hat to colored man. The hat bore
the initials &C E. p" inside the sweat
cloth. Preller was something of a must
clan and vocalist 1t is believed by many
that the reason Maxwell has exhibited such
GOODNESS is that he knows that at the right
time he can prove that Preller is alive, and
that he can not be tried for numbering any
other man but Preller. Between the
United States and British Governments
there is an extradition treaty containing a
clause to the effect that the person extra
dited can only be tried for the offense
named in the warrant This clause was in
serted to prevent any Government from eX-
traditing offenders for alleged criminal Of
lenses and then trying them for political
crimes. If Preller can be produced at the
trial Maxwell can Immediately claim his
discharge. Then, in order to try him for
another offense, it would be necessary for
the St Louis authorities to make another
trip to New Zealand, file new evidence, and
get leave to begin the prosecution.
BosToN, Aug. 25.-Dr. E. H. Graham
Dewey, of this city, who was FELLOWSHIP
dent with Maxwell, the alleged st. Louis
murderer, at college in London, said yes
terday that when Maxwell was in Boston
he wanted Dewey to get corpse for him.
Maxwell did not say what he wished to do
with the body, but Dr. Dewey thought
that he wanted it for dissection. Maxwell
left the city for few weeks. and
on his return told DR.. Dewey that he had
got q ''stiff" and wanted him to go and see
it. DR.. Dewey was about to inform the in
surance companies of Maxwelps doings
here when he read the alleged confession
of Maxwell that the body found in the
trunk was really that of Preller. Ever
since Dr.. Dewey has been acquainted with
Maxwell he believed that his mind was af-

SPREADING THE FAITH.

Remarkable Success of a Native Moham
medan Against African Pagan Poten
tates-The Power of Several Rulers Al
ready Destroyed-Belief That American
Commerce Will Be Enhanced by These
Movements.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Secretary of
State Bayard is in receipt of communica-
ton from Sierre Leone giving an account of
the movements of an army of one hundred
thousand men in the interior of Africa.
The communication, which is from United
States Consul Lewis, under date of July IA,
says that in 1880 an unusually intelligent
and energetic Mandingro named Sa-
mudu, Mohammedan, conceived the idea
OF waging war upon paganism and of
opening up the highways to the coast from
the interior. These roads have for genera
lions been infested by vagabond plumber
ing tribes. Samudu began his crusade five
years ago. and now has an army of 100000
men-horse and foot. One division recently
drove certain French troops from gold fields
which had been taken possession of by the
Europeans, and is now besieging Bamaks
large town occupied by the French. An
other division is operating east of Liberia,
and will probably make it possible for
negro emigrants from America to
SETTLE in the healthy and fertile re-
gions of the interior. The third division
has subjugated all the tribes in an
extensive region. The most important vic
tory secured was that over the kingdom of
Soolima, of which Talaba, large COM
mercial city, was the capital. Last year
Samudu's army besieged the city. After
fve-months' resistance the King, his
family, and the principal chiefs, re-
solving to die rather than surrender,
fired the powder magazine and all
persisted. The Hooboos, tribe of
robbers who for thirty years had been ter
ror to caravans, were also broken I'D, the
chief being slain. Consul Lewis is of the
opinion that Samudu's success will be of
benefit to American commerce, there being
an increasing demand in that region for
products of the United States.
