X Two-Y -Year-Old Child Carried 200
 Feet In the Air

CHICAGO, August 19.-At the picnic of the Pioneer Relief society in aid of the imprisoned anarchists, Sophie Schwab, aged ?, became entangled in the strings of a lot of toy balloons. The strings became detached from the fastening and the child was carried 200 feet into the air and was blown by the wind out over the lake. Gus Kroch, a marks man, secured his rifle and was rowed out upon the lake and began firing. One by one he pierced the balloons and gradually the child dropped to the water. She was rescued without getting even a scratch,

CHICAGO'S GREAT STORM.
The Damage More Severe Than at First
Supposed.

CHICAGO, July 29.-The storm of Saturday
night was even more severe than had been sup
posed, great as was the uproar of the elements
and visible the effects. The unprecedented
rainfall, the high wind and the incessant light
ming caused a loss of property that is difficult
to estimate. All kinds of property suffered
goods in cellars and Easements, streets, shade
trees. sidewalks, lawns, shrubbery, driveways
unfinished houses and dwellings. There were
forty-four alarms of fire, many from lightning
and most from the destruction of the insulation
OF the electric light wires. Fire, water, wind
and hail combined caused a loss probably in
excess Of $1,000, 900, and possibly as much
again. One fact was made clear by the storm:
the! sewers of Chicago were unequal to the
task of carrying off the water that fell A re-
suit of the storm will probably be an agitation
OF the matter looking toward a radical i'm
provement in the drainage facilities. The
sewerage system of the city was originally
planned with view 10 the necessities of pop
ulation of not more than 100 00O With pop
ulation nine or ten times as great il is vastly
overtaxed. In some of the principal streets in
the business center the sewers are only IL
inches in diameter. The fat character of the
ground makes a very slight fall necessary, and
as a consequence the sewers soon become
clogged with sediment. The matter will be
brought up in the city council tonight, and it
ii. thought probable that an entire reorganiza-
tioh of the sewerage system may result in the
end

HIS LIFE EBBING AWAY.
Maurice Adler's Mind Now Affected
Its Feared He Cannot Long Survive.

Maurice Adier's mind is now affected. It is
only another indication of his constantly grow
ing weakness. His progress in this direction
has been very rapid during the past few days.
There are no marked symptoms, nothing pecu-
liar in his case that has not been noticed weeks
ago. His life is gradually but surely ebbing
away. The confusion in his mind, which has
been manifest recently, is the only new feature
Of the case. He has intervals when he talks
clearly and is sensible of what is going on
about him, but for the greater part of the time
his mind wanders. 1t is singular thing that,
in the giving away of all his powers he man.
ages to keep hold of the idea, which he has
held tenaciously to during his entire
sickness. that he must eat if he
would conquer in the death struggle. Some
times in his delirium he refuses food when it is
offered to him. Then soon afterward, perhaps,
will come period Of mental clearness and then
he will ask if it is not time for him to eat some
thing. He takes what is given him, not be-
cause he wants it, but because he knows that it
will keep up his strength. The only thing that
can be done for him now is to give him stimu-
lants and endeavor to counteract as far as pos
sible the slow ebbing away Of his strength. It
is thought that he will gradually relapse into a
comatose condition and then that death will
come to put an end to his sufferings.

HOLDING THE FORT.
The Mount Bethel Colored Baptist
Church Trouble.

On Saturday afternoon a civil case was tried
by Justice L. l. O'Neil in which it was made
apparent that there is woeful lack of harmony
among the pastor, deacons and members of
Mount Bethel (colored) Baptist church in
Howardtown near Moore's lane. The case
came up in the shape of a suit brought by a
number Of members of the church against Guy
Berkeley, who claims to be the pastor, to re-
cover 800 damages for OBTAINING from the
church certain books and records. The evidence
showed that Berkely was supply pastor for
three months. and that when his term was up
minority (twenty-nine) of the congregation had
elected him pastor for three years; that he was
not an ordained minister. 1t was further shown
that Berkeley and his friends had expelle eleven
members of the church without giving them
notice. The justice gave judgment for the
plaintiffs, holding that Berkeley was not legally
the pastor and could not hold the books.
Berkeley was present at the trial and said,
whether he was ordained or not, he would
wade through blood and die like Jesus on the
cross before he would give up the fort" I'm
mediately after the rendition of the judgment
warrant was issued against the wife Of one of
the members for an assault and battery Yes
terday the police took the precaution to have
men on hand to preserve order. The alleged
minister 'held the fort" He appeared at the
church and went to the pulpit to read a notice,
but when there proceeded with an address over
two hours in length.
conference OF Baptist churches has been
called for advice and the end is not yet reached.

A SENSATIONAL ARMY SCANDAL
CRONIN'S MURDERERS ARRAIGNED
They All Plead Not Guilty to the
Charge.
THE THAxTON WRECK.
Railroad Company Exonerated by the
Grand Jury-Estimates of Lives Lost.

Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LYNcHBURe, Va, July 29.-At a late hour Sat-
urday afternoon the special grand jury empan-
elied by the Bedford county court to investi-
gate the recent disastrous wreck at Thaxton,
on the Norfolk and Western railroad, COM
pleted Its report, entirely exonerating the rail-
road company from all blame in the premises
The report states in effect that the culvert
where the washout took place was in good con-
dition just prior to the accident; that it had
been standing ever since the road was built,
about thirty-seven years, and that for the past
several years ii had been regularly examined
by experts and reported sound and substantial.
The report further represents that the fast
train was running on the night in question at
an unusually low rate of speed, this precaution
being adopted in consequence Of information
obtained at Bufordsville q miles west of the
wreck that there was indication of an unusu-
ally heavy rain below. The rain was light at
Bufordsville; in fact, the heavy rain extended
but very short distance west of the fatal
culvert, but from that point several miles down
the mountains the rainfall WAS not only unusu-
ally heavy, but very much heavier than any
that can be recalled in the memory of the
Oldest inhabitant; it was, in fact, a perfect
water-spout or cloud-burst. The washouts and
landslides on the sides of the mountains caused
by this rain are visible for long distance. The
report concludes: while no one can speak
with certainty on this point, yet, from the testi-
mony of experts, the track above the culvert
must have been intact when the train came
upon it. We believe, therefore, that the
officials OF the road exercised all care and
prudence in running this train, and that the
company is not to be blamed for this terrible
and lamentable disaster"
The number of lives lost in this wreck has
never been accurately determined, but the low
est estimate places it at twenty-five.

WASHINGTON THE PLACE.
Minneapolis and Duluth Preparing for
the Exposition Here in 1892.

The board of trade of Minneapolis and the
chamber of commerce of Duluth have just ap-
pointed the following standing committees on
the great exposition to be held at Washington
in 1892:
Minneapolis board of trade: ]. T. wyman,
president; VIM. d. Hall. secretary; A. B. Barton,
Geo. A Bracket, and Hon. S. P. Snider.
Duluth chamber Of commerce: Melvin R.
Baldwin, president; VIM. F.. Phelps, secretary;
L. 5. Munger, A. B. Chaplin, and s. s. Walbank.
The secretary of the latter organization adds:
"We observe that the citizens of New York
seem to be making active efforts to secure the
location OF the exposition in that city. We
think, however, that our national capital is the
most appropriate place for Three Americas
exposition. Having inaugurated this move
ment and secured the cooperation of so many
OF the commercial bodies of the country, she
is clearly entitled to the distinction of pro-
noting this great object, entirely aside from
the consideration of the eminent fitness of
locating an international movement of this kind
at the capital of the country"
