HAVANA, Ca, July 25.-The child
sacrificed to the pseudo Messiah, who has
been working among the negroes of Lib.
erty county, has just been discovered in
a remote part Of that county. The child
was black. The throat had been cut and
its ears were missing. The negroes. who
are possessed by the religious craze ere
ated by Orth's or Bells preaching, will
not talk Of the murder, but it is believed
the parents did the killing. They are disci-
pies OF the false Christ, who preached
frequently Of human sacrifices. The
coroner is investigating. The negroes
are in a lamentable state Of religious
frenzy. Edward James, who is acting
as leader Of the congregation since Ortiz
was sent to the asylum ten days ago, ap-
pears before audiences almost perfectly
nude when he breaches.

KILLED IN A STORM
A Disastrous Rain Storm
Visits the Oity by
the Lake.
Eight Persons Are Killed and
Much Property De-
strOyed.
The Collapse of . Building Was the
Direct Cause OF the Fatality
1t Was Almost
Tornado.


CHICAGO, July 29.-One Of the heavi-
est rainfalls ever known in this section
OF country did thousands of dollars
worth Of damage in this city Saturday
night. The stoIm cloud came from the
northwest, meeting counter currents Of
air, lowering over the city two hours and
a half, finally passing to the northeast,
and the rain began about $50 and con
tinued in binding sheets until 8 o'clock.
The violence of the wind at times almost
reached the fury of a tornado. In two
hours and fifteen minutes there was a
fall Of Ala inches. Easements and Gel
lars were flooded all over the city, some
at a depth of two and four feet. The
water rushed down the incline TO thu
LaSalle street tunnel until it reached
deDth of over three feet in the center,
completely i%nterrupting for a time the
traffic OF cable cars. The electric dis.
turbance was not great, and but very
little harm S reported from lightning.
The damage caused to warehouse goods
from the flooding of Easements as al
ready reported will run high into the
thousands. While the storm was
al ltS nelgnt u large tree WAS
blown down upon a passing
crowded street car on Van Buren,, near
Loomis. The roof of the car was crushed
in, but fortunately none of the occupants
were injured beyond bruises. In the
outskirts OF the city several houses were
struck by lightning and the inmates badly
shaken up and scared, but none seriously
injured.
It is Just learned that during the height
of the storm an unfinished building in
process of construction at the corner of
Twenty. first and Leavitt streets was
blown down and completely demolished a
frame cottage that stood beside it. Eight
persons were killed outright and three
badly wounded. The killed are;
Mrs. Amelia Buck, 40 years old.
Annie Buck, 8 years old.
Albert Buck, u years old.
Cornelius Ferdoches, a blacksmith, 33 years
old.
Mrs. Areka Ferdoches, his wife, 81 years
old.
Cora, Allida and Lea, their children, aged
respectively s, 4 and l.
The wounded are Charlie Buck, husband OF
Mrs. Amelia Buck, Lula and Ada Ferdoches.

r. PAPERS
Containing an Account OF the Sui
livan.Kiirain Mill Are IN Demand
AD.oaa khn EDnnd

iivan.Kfirain Mill Are In Demand
Across the Pond.
NEW YORK, July GA London cable
says the files of the American paper'
containing detailed accounts OF the Sui
Ivan. Kilrain mill have been in great de
mand at the sporting resorts, and every
item of news relating to the great battle
has been read with avidity. Very little
credence is placed in the stories regard
ing drugs having been given to kilrain,
and the general opinion is that the latter
was decidedly overmatched, and that he
is not to be placed in the category with
the Boston slugger. Perhaps two OF the
most interested readers were Jem Smith
and his hacker, John Fleming. The lat
ter in conversation said:
"My challenge t Sullivan was made
in good faith. am ready to meet him
anywhere, on this side Of the water or
the other, and to give him all the prelim-
mary advantages. My manager has al
ready deposited f200 in gold with the
Sporting Life and we are willing to send
il to New York if necessary. My only
stipulation is that the meeting shall come
off in cold or mild weather. | would not
go into the ring under the atmospheric
conditions that prevailed at Richburg. 1t
would be simply suicidal"
do you think you would stand any
show against Sullivan
"Well," was the reply, "the fact that
our money is up speaks for itself. Sulli
van is no doubt a great fighter, and JUS,
now in his prime. AT the same time
believe | could give him the best fight b,
has had yet, and whip him to boot, and
wouldn't want seventy-tve rounds o.
two hours to do it, either"
Smith is in magnificent condition. dc
weighs 224 pounds and is a splendid
specimen OF humanity. He is very tenn
perate and careful in his diet and habits.
He takes daily exercise just as if training
for a mill, and would only require a re-
duction of weight to make him ready for
the ring at short notice.

Quarrel Over Lottery Prize.

CHICAGO, July GA sequel to the
winning of a S15, 600 lottery prize by
ticker AZ, 1853 was begun today when
States Attorney Longenecker filed an in
formation in court asking that the entire
prize be declared forfeited to the state.
The action is the first on record in Cook
county, and is brought under the revised
statutes, which allow the state to take
such action. Last week Lena Lurie Sc
cured an injunction restraining Lazarus
Silverman, a banker, from turning over
to Ike or Robert Lurie more than half of
the Sl5, 900 prize, he having forwarded
the ticket for collection. Mrs. Lurie
claimed that Robert and Ike, her cousins,
were attempting to cheat her out of a
half interest which she owned in
the ticket, she having bought II on
shares with Robert. The Citizens asso.
citation asked for an injunction to restrain
Silverman from pay ing over the money
and a temporary injunction was issued
and will stand until the final hearing
when al argument will be made to have
the entire sum declared forfeited. Abou'
two years ago, when two stock yards EN-
ployes got into a wrangle over the owner
ship of q ticket which drew q $40, 00(
prize, the Citizens association com
menced proceedings, but in the mean
time the gentlemen from the stock yard,
settled their difficulties and before an IN
junction could be obtained collected theil
money and pocketed it.

THE ROYAL GRANTS
Will Cause a Great Debate in Par.
lament.

NEW YORK, July ga London cable
says: Special and urgent whips were is
sued last night by the government, the
liberal unionists, the G~ladstonians, and
the Labouchere radicals, and the absen.
tee members Of the house of commons
are hurrying back as fast as steam can
bring them for the great debate tonight
upon the report of the committee on
royal grants increasing the allowance of
the prince of Wales by $45, 600 a quar-
.>rly. The demand for seats in
the visitors gallery is unpre-
cedented, the galleries reserved
for peers and diplomats will be more
than crowded and in the scene where the
debate is at its height promises to be one
Of the most brilliant and withal exciting
in the history Of recent parliaments. The
adoption Of the report Of the committee,
as well as the declaration OF the right OF
her majesty to ask parliament to make a
further provision for her grandchildren
is of course a ~foregone conclusion. 1t
will receive the solid support of the tor
les, the greater portion of the liberal
unionists, led by Harrington, Nor
ley and Harcourt, as well as a
respectable following of the Gladstonians.
The grand old man will himself on this
occasion file out into the same lobby with
his opponents, although beforehand he
will ease his mind with what promises to
be a notable speech. and in which he
will insist that the time is ripe for draw
ing the line in some direction on the sys
TEN of indiscriminate pensions to royalty
The fact, however, that he is on terms OF
close intimacy with the prince Of Wales
has induced him to brave the displeasure
Of his radical supporters by supporting
the grant. The indications are
that not more than 100 members, even If
solid support is given by the Irish
benches, will go into the lobby against
the motion. Labouchere and Boulanger
will lead the opposition, while Cremer,
Howell and Burt will voice the opposi-
ton of the working classes of the coun-
try. 1t is possible that the debate will
be so prolonged az to compel an adjonrn-
ment, but the plan Of the government
this morning is to demand closure and
force a division, even if the sitting lasts
until daylight.

Protection from Lightning.

The fatal lightning stroke is 80
frequent this season that persons
exposed to thunder storms should
take all precautions against it. In
a scientific paper recently read be-
fore the Royal Meteorological So
ciety Mr.. G. ]. Symons, F. R. S.,
the English meterologist, presented
a large mass of important data on
the phenomena of thunder storms.
Ordinarily persons exposed to a
thunder storm fee to the nearest
shelter to escape wetting. Mr.. Sy-
mons shows that "if a man is thor
oughly wet it is impossible for light
ming to kill him." He refers to a
remarkable proof of this fact. The
great scientific lecturer, Faraday,
once demonstrated to his audience
at the Royal Institution that with
all the powerful electrical apparatus
at his disposal it was impossible for
him to kill a rat whose coat had
been saturated with water. Itwould
be we'll, therefore, for any person in
a severe thunder storm and liable
to lightning stroke to allow him
self to be drenched with rain at the
earliest moment possible, and in
the absence of sufficient rainfall OF
any other means at hand to wet his
outer apparel.-N. Y. Herald.

The Fall Elections.

The elections this fall, bearing in
mind that it is an "off year," will
be of unusual importance. Massa-
chusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey,
Ohio and Virginia will elect Gov.
ernors and State officers; Iowa,
Governor and Lieutenant Governor;
Maryland, Comptroller and Attor-
ney-General; Nebraska; Supreme
Court Judges and two Regents;
New York, State officers, except
Governor and Lieutenant Governor,
Judge of the Court of Appeals,
and new Legislature, and Penn
sylvania, State Treasurer. The four
new States-Washington, Montana,
and the two Dakotas-will all elect
Governors and State officers, and
Congressional and Legislative rep
resentatives. The republicans feel
fairly sure of winning most of the
Congressman from the new States.
The Kentucky election for State
Treasurer took place Monday, Au-
gust 5th, and went democratic by
5000, gain of about 1900 to
that party.

Trout That Remember.

"Some time before the death OF
Seth Green, the celebrated New
York pisciculturist and naturalist" :"
said a Philadelphian who takes
great interest in piscultural matters.
II paid visit with him to the fish
hatchery of that state at Caledonia:
In one of the ponds there at that
time were 5000 large brook trout,
every one of which had been cap
tured with the Ay-tied on barbless
hooks-in unfrequented brooks IN
the Adirondack region: These
trout, Mr.. Green said, had con-
vinced him that fish have reason
ing power and memory. When
they were hooked and were reeled
slowly in by the careful fishermen
WHO were capturing them for the
State pond, they had time and op..
portunity to note the form and
character Of the tackle that made
then prisoners. According to Mr..
Green, they never forget that ex-
perience. The trout had been in
