THE TENNESSEE g. COOSA.
Birmingham News.

Birmingham News.
A report comes from Huntsville to the
effect that an effort is again being made
to complete the Tennessee & Coosa rail
road.
1t is stated that the owners are en-
deavoriAsHto make sale of the property
to the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis railroad with view to having that
company build the road from Alfalfa to
connect with the Flora branch at Hunts
vile.
This arrangement may not be effected,
for it is known that the L. & N. Com
pany, since getting control of the Annis-
ton & Atlantic, prefer that connection
be made through to Bridgeport, Ala, by
an extension of the Birmingham Mineral
railroad from Oneonta, in which event
the Tennessee & Coosa will only be ex-
tended to Albertville, in Marshal county,
and will connect with the Mineral road
at that point. The Nashville, Chatta-
nOoga & st. Louis company, it is said
contemplate an extension of their line
from Stevenson or Bridgeport to Atlanta,
Ga, in event a lease of the Western &
Atlantic is not effected.
A few days ago some parties represent
ing the Bridgeport interest, who were in
Huntsville, stated that if the road was
built to that town donation of $4,000
could be easily obtained $25,000 of which
would be paid in cash and the other
$50, 1000 secured so as to be paid on the
completion of the road.

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
The Result Of the Devastating Tornado
Of Thursday Night.
Terrible Loss OF Life and Property In
Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 28.-The path
of the storm is about $50 yards wide and
the line through the city is fully three
and half miles long. Nearly every
house in the storms path was blown
down, and in many cases the ruins caught
fire and the already mangled victims were
cremated. Hundreds of people were
killed and the number of injured is far
greater.
The general course of the storm was as
follows: Beginning at the southwest
corner Of the city between Eighteenth
and Twenty-third streets it ranged up to
wards Broadway, striking that thorough
fare between Fifteenth and Eighteenth
streets; passed over Chestnut and Walnu,
towards Twelfth,up Twelfth to Jefferson

FAYETTEVILLE.
The Town Almost Wiped Out
Of Existence.
LIST or the CASUALTIES.

FAYETTEVILLE, March 2S.-Fayetteville
has almost been destroyed by tornado.
This is the second time in its history that
such a calamity has befallen the town.
Between 9 and 10 O'Clock last night a
storm-cloud, which had been gathering
for an hour or more in the west, burst
upon the town with terrible fury, follow
ed by deluging rain. 1t is impossible
amid the confusion to obtain anything
like an accurate report. The path of the
storm was about quarter of mile wide,
and was through the most densely popu-
lated portion Of the town.
The following is an incomplete list of
the casualties:
Mrs. w. L. Shofner, badly wounded.
DIR. w. F. Crunk, who has been slowly
recovering from severe case of pneu-
monia, was injured by the walls of his
residence falling in upon him. Shortly
after his rescue the house was consumed
by fire.
Rev. r. NJ. Woodward was badly in
jured.
Mrs. Redman had rib broken.
Dicie Green, colored, was killed.
Davie Thompson and wife, colored,
were badly hurt and will probably die.
VIM. Markham, colored, had his collar
bone broken.
Henry Wilson, colored, shoulder blade
broken and internally injured.
10. Martin, colored, two ribs broken.
Winnie Burke, arm broken. Many
others were more or less injured.
The destruction of property has been
terrible. No house in the path of the
wind escaped damage. The roofs Of
nearly all the business houses were car
ried away and the stock damaged by
rain. Messrs. Wright, Waddlo s. Wright
Morgan Bros, J. A. Lumpkin, w. w.
Alexander & Co., j. A. Murray and a
few others carry tornado insurance
enough to protect them.
The handsome residence of Col. j. D.
Tillman was badly injured, also that of
Col. j. B. Lamb.
The three-story brick saloon Of Wake
field & Co., is total wreck, also G. NJ.
Shorts new brick business house and
Jackson & Feener's now double brick
store-house.
The Jail and Jailer's house was totally
destroyed.
The Methodist, Baptist and Christian
Churches were demolished. All the col
ored churches in town appear to be gone.
Milton College was entirely destroyed
and its timbers blown hundreds of yards
into Rose Hill Cemetery.
All of the handsome monuments in the
cemetery were thrown down. That of
Hon. G. w. Jones was broken to pieces.
Hair-breath escapes from death ere nu-
merous: The residences of C. C. Nc
Kinney, DR.. J. NJ. Anderson, w. A.
Webb, p. P. Feeney, s. NJ. Clayton, Mrs.
Redman and T. V. McCown are practi-
cally destroyed.
The storm-cloud itself, as it approach
ed the town, was sight to behold.
Streaks of lightning with inumerable
prongs were constantly playing while the
sheet lightning was incessant.

THE OLD STORY.
Two Hayward Girls Refuse to
Abandon a Life of Shame.

Two Maynard Girls Refuse to
Abandon Life of Shame.
The municipal court was again the
theater yesterday of drama which is
enacted only too often in that gloomy
chamber. A broken-hearted mother
was seeking to turn her two daughters
from life of shame, and she had called
the police to her aid. Randall was her
name, and all the time she was in court
the tears streamed from her eyes, her
frame shook with sobs and she alto
gether appeared the embodiment OF
grief. The girls answered to the
names of Matte Fisher and Lottie Phil
lips, and had been taken from Hattie
Coles resort on First street. Matte,
the younger. whose features, while not
evidencing prolonged indulgence in
vice, yet revealed a predisposition to
evil ways, was first questioned by Judge
Emery. She had been an inmate Of
Hattie Coles house for two weeks. Her
sister, Lottie Phillips, who has been
married, but who says that her husband
refuses to support her. came next. She
had been leading life of shame
for month. Both refused peremptOrily
to go either to the House of. the Good
Shepherd or to Bethany home, and
were accordingly sentenced to the
workhouse for thirty days. Neither of
of them noticed their poor mother while
in court. Hattie Cole was severely
lectured for attempting to conceal the
girls from the officers, which she did,
and will be tried to-day.

except the one testifying. were then
ordered excluded from the room, at the
request of Moore's attorneys, and Frank
Fitch, the railroad man who first dis
covered the three culprits in the depot
basement, told the whole revolving
story, shorn of most of its shocking de-
tails-how he had told Officer
Newton what he had seen; how
they both returned and watched the
three men and how they were arrested.
Hubbard, the old man who had con-
fessed the day before, then went upon
the stand and related substantially what
he had told the judge when he was
sentenced to ninety days in the work
house. Officer Newton and others cor
rOborated the testimony of both Fitch
and Hubbard. Attorney Lang then
opened for the defense and explained to
the jury the impossibility of the charges
against Moore. considering the per-
sons with whom he had always
associated in Minneapolis, asserting
meanwhile that witnesses would be pro-
duced to prove the excellent character
of Moore. which witnesses, however,
were never called to the stand. A
couple of Milwaukee railroad employees
were then sworn to prove that Newton
and Fitch could not see what they
claim to have seen from where they
stood, after which the Jury went down
to the depot to examine the premises.
Moore, in his mildly deprecating, fearful
way, testified for himself. Jacobs, the
other prisoner, was sworn, put could
tell little, and the arguments began.
Foster, for the defense, began by apolo-
giving for his clients act, continued by
calling the opposing witnesses liars,
and closed with an appeal for mercy.
Frank Nye followed in a convincing
twenty minute speech, the jury was
charged and retired, only to return in
seven minutes with verdict of guilty.
Moore's injured-innocence air never
changed when the verdict was an
nounced, nor when Judge Emery
sentenced him to ninety days
in the workhouse, reInarking at
the same time that he wished he
could make the sentence at least twice
as heavy. Moore's attorneys moved for
a stay, which will be argued this after
noon, but which will not be granted
unless the defense can prove some good
reason for such action in either fact or
law, as the judge told them that the law
had merely been taken from the beaten
track, and that the prisoner had had
fair trial, adding that he did not want
to keep such disgusting case before
the public longer than was necessary.
Jacobs, the young man arrested with
Moore, was discharged without trial, as
there was no direct evidence against
him.

A SISTER OF CHARITY.
Her Purity and Self-Denial Make
Her What the Old
est Member of the SisterhOOd Has
to Say.

If the noble and self-sacrificing devotion
Of women could be written, it would make
more volumes than the Astor Library could
contain. Of this noble band of women, the
Sisters OF Charity seem to be the most de-
voted, and OF this number, Sister Irene, in
charge of the New York Founding Asylum,
stands at the head. Since the year 1947 she
has been earnestly engaged in her grand and
charitable work. She it was who originated
the idea of placing basket upon the front
door. and she it is to-day who has inspired by
her work and presence many very noble
women. 1t is only natural that such a woman.
should exercise the greatest care in regard to
human health and welfare, to see that only
the purest and best ingredients tor preparing
food are used at all times. When, therefore,
such woman says, as she does: II have
tried 'Thepure Baking Powder and find it to
be of most excellent quality" it speaks vol
umes for the purity and worth of that article.
a good heart and pure spirit are quick to
appreciate purity, whether in others or in
the material things of life, and the words of
Sister Irene regarding..'Thepure' Baking Pow
der are greater tribute to its purity and
worth than the results of all the chemical
analyses of all the chemists in the land.
Purity that can stand such test is beyond
all question. Would it not be well for you to
try this new powder which is spoken SO
highly of and is becoming so POPULAR?
