A Thrilling Story.

HAGGARD's MILLS, GA, February Il.
Mr.. G. W. Mathis tells a thrilling story
of a wreck by cyclone:
The cyclone came about IL o'clock on
the night of the 9Th of February, night
that never will forget. I was awake
when it came, but the rest of my family
was asleep. It blew my window open. /
got up to shut it. Just as Ilaid down
the cyclone struck the house.
~ felt like I was in q wagon on a
rough road. The cyclone did not last
more than second, and all was over.
When it stopped, I jumped up, and asked
my wife if she was hurt. She said no,
but that she would be. By this time I
could hear the name of "papa" on every
side. Ihad six children from one month
up to elevenyears old. I did not know
what to do, so / went to work with all my
strength. My little boy vas the first I
come to. I asked him ifhe was hurt; he
said no. then went to my little girls
and baby boy. They we're able to stand
up. [ then went to my wife and
little babe, and lifted the timber off of
them.
My work was not done. My wife
asked where was Luna, q little girl seven
years old. She vas fast under some logs.
Then my wife began to halloo, and start.
ed for my fathers house, half mile off.
Two negroes came to my aid. We all
got out with no limbs broken, but badly
bruised up. My foot is in bad fix. MY
little girl has not walked any yet. Every
thing I had was broken and torn to
pieces. All my house furniture was torn
up. Wagons came to move me, but could
not find anything to move. Some of the
house and my clothes were found one
mile from where the house was. Wire.
grass was torn up by the roots, and
everything else that was in its road

The Driving Wheels Melted or BY
Friction.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-; ia singular acci.
dent happened to freight train on the
Union Pacific railroad, near Odesss, yes.
terday: On account of unavoidable de.
lays, and through the absence of orders,
it was caught between stations and was
running on the time of the fast mail train.
The engineer of the freight tried to find q
siding to avoid collision. The heavy
mogul was pushed to It's fullest driving
capacity. Coal was piled into the fire
box, and the engine few over the track
at speed never before attained by a
freight train.
Just before Odessa was reached the
driving wheels of the engine were melted
or burned of, and they left the rails, and
the cars behind were piled upon each
other. Fortunately, the engineer and
fireman escaped without injury, although
they were buried under the wreckage,
which was piled upon the cab of the To-.
comotive. The conductor of the freight
tagged the fast mail ia time to prevent 8
terrible catastrophe.

The Georgia Monster.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, February 16.-
Last night Dick Hawes wrote two letters,
one to Miss May Story, a young lady
whom he married in Columbus, and the
other to Ed. Weaver, of Marion, Ind. He
gave them unstamped to Deputy Gus.
Ellard, who turned them over to Sheriff
Smith, and he opened them.
Both said that when received the writer
would be dead, which plainly meant that
Hawes intended to commit suicide. The
letter to Miss Story said that his late con.
fession in which he claimed that he paid
John Wylie to kill his wife and Irene was
false. He did it to get even with Wylie,
who had once, while both were in Jail
here, betrayed q plot that Hawes and
other prisoners had on foot to escape.
Some days ago Hawes made confess
sion to Deputy Dave Smith, on the latter's
promise to tell nothing till he had been
dead three days. In that confession
Hawes said he paid Wylie and Fannie
Bryant to kill Mrs. Hawes and little
Irene. He had intended to keep May,
but on finding she knew about the MUIR
der of her mother and sister, he took her
out to East Lake and smothered her, snd
then put her body in the lake.

Took a Drink, aud Lost a Wife:

GREENSBORO, N. c., Feb. 1O.-Miss
Mamie Mckinney was married few
days ago to young MIR. Thompson, Of
Stokes County. At the conclusion of the
ceremony the pretty bride was being con.
graduated, when by some means she
happened to discover that her newly.made
liege lord had taken drink of whisky
just before the marriage. The young wife
was an ardent temperance woman and
had believed her sweetheart teetotaler.
Finding that she had been deceived, she
at once announced that she would decline
to live with him as bis wife. The friends
of both parties made every attempt to ef-
feet reconciliation, but their efforts
awaited nothing.

a Charleston Horror.

CHARLESTON, February ia double
tragedy occurred here to night. Napoleon
Laval called at the store of B. Feldemann
& Go. and asked to see his wife who had
been separated from him for some time.
When the woman came down Laval shot
her and then, entering the store, shot
Feldemann. Both of the victims are
thought to be fatally wounded. Mrs. La.
val was q niece of Feldeman aud had
been living with his family for some time.
On being arrested Laval stated that it
was merely family affair and that there
was nothing more to be said about it.
The affair has created 8 great sensation
as the parties are we'll known and promi-
nent in business and society circles.
CHARLESTON, S. O., Feb. 1.-THE
whole city was shocked tonight by 8
double tragedy, the like of which has
never been known excepting perhaps en-
the occasion of the Dawson murder. The
firm Of B. Feldemann & Co. is one of the
best known King Street grocery firms in
the city. Mr.. Feldemann is about 55
years Of age and is married to.the sister
Of his Junior partner, Robert Tesky.
"a young sister of MIR. .FeskT married q
man named Napoleon Laval several years
ago. Laval and his wife did not get
along very we'll together, and about s or
10 months ago, Laval, who is a carpenter
by trade, left the city. His wife lived
with her sister, Mrs. Fe,demann.
Recently Laval returned to The city,
He Iavs he wrote several letters to his
wife asking her to return to him but fail
ed to receive any reply. To. night he
called at Feldemann's and rang che bell at
the door: adjoining the store. His wife
came down to answer the bell and he
shot her, firing two shots from a pistol
that he had onth person.
The people in the store ran out, Felde-
man in the lead. When they reached the
alleyway leading to the second floor they
found Mrs. Laval lying in pool of blood.
Without saying g. word Laval turned his
pistol on Feldmana and shot him, the ball
entering his left breast. By this time q
crowd had gathered and the murderer
was oyerpowered and sent to the police
station. He was seen by this correspon-
dent later in the night and asked what
his motives were for the deed. He re-
piled that, he had no motive but that he
was glad he had killed Fe!demann.
At this time both Feldemanr. and Mrs.
Laval are in critical condition. The
woman cannot live till morning. The
man may recover. Thr tragedy has ere,
ated great sensation, ss the parties are
[sWell known in the city. There is not a
breath of suspicion of a scandal. Mrs.
Laval is sister of Mrs. Feldmann and
had lived with her nearly all her life.---

of the things are saved, and you
mustn't think OF anything but how
much worse it might have been. What
if baby had been burned. oh, George.
don't it make you shudder to think OF
it? But the dear little darling is per-
fectly safe, and OF course We went right
straight to mammals, and you cant
think how frightened size was until she
knew We were safe. And ] know Just
how shocked you'll he, you poor, dear
boy, but as baby and | are safe you
