A practical joker at Wheeling, w. Va,
recently did unusually effective work by
snapping an "unloaded shotgun" killing a
woman and seriously injnring two men. OF
course the man was overwhelmed with re-
morse, but there should be more practical
punishment for this class OF jokerS.

GEN. HANCOCK,S DAUGHTER
MARRIED.
She Suddenly Makes UP Her Mind
to Go to the Altar.
By The United Press,

~ u
BANGOR, Me-, June 25.-The
beautiful Episcopal church Of the
Redeemer at Sorrento was the scene
of a quiet but notable wedding this
morning, about which there is con-
siderable comment here. The con-
tracing parties were a daughter of
the late Gen. w. S. Hancock and
Mr.. w. HI. Dow, of Boston.
The arrangements were suddenly
made and in rather a peculiar man.
ner. G. T. Stockham, proprietor
of the hotel Sorrento, telephoned
Monday to Rev. John McCaw Eos
ter, of this city, rector of St. Johns
Church, asking if he would be able
to officiate at the ceremony, and
giving the date. Later Mr.. Frank
Leslie Crowell, a Boston organist
who is visiting here, received a note
from the same gentleman, engaging
his services. An orchestra from
this city was also engaged to play
at the reception.

PUNIsHING THE NAT YES.
The West Africa Expedition Tried
Over AGAIN,
(By Cable.)

LONDON, June 25.-Advices from
West Africa state that the second
German expedition had left the Cam
oons river for the interior to punish
the natives who destroyed the form
er expedition. The force is a for
midable one and includes
three hundred white men, and
one thousand friendly natives. They
had, however, powerful enemy to
encounter, the hostile chief being
capable of putting several thousand
well armed warriors in the field. 1t
appears that some Of the Germans
captured in the former expedition
were cruelty tortured before they
died, and there is no hope Of find
ing any of them alive. 1t is be
lieved that by this time the Ger
mans have wreaked a memorable
vengeance on the enemy.

THE SOUTH RISING Up.
Superintendent Porter Declares That
the South IS the Failure Iron Pro
ducing Centre.
By The United Press.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 25.-
Within a week the Census Office
will issue a bulletin for iron ore,
which will be, perhaps, one Of the
most remarkable, as well as one of
the most suggestive, of the series of
bulletins issued by that Office.
For the first time in the history
ofthe country, Alabama will change
places with Pennsylvania as produc-
ing in one year more iron
than the Old Keystone State. This
significant statement means that
the South will be the future iron
producing centre Of the United
States. "The forthcoming state.
ment will show that in no part d
/ the United States has the indus
trial progress been more satisfacto
ry than in the South" said super
intendent Porter to-day when inter
viewed on the subject.
/ 1t is fact that our statistics viii
show the South to be producing a
much iron ore now as the Who'll
country produced in 1870. TIL
same is true as regards pig iron an
bituminous coal.
| In my opinion the changes tha
will come aboct in the near futur
/ in the manufacture of iron vii
make the South the great iron pro
ducing region of the q. S.

in fear Of observation. The mar
riage took place at ten o'clock
in the morning. The only witnesses
were two servants of the registrar
and they were strictly enjoined to
promised secrecy. Parnell re-
manned at Washington terrace where
Mrs. O'Shea was situated the prt-
yious evening. A one-horse phae-
ton vas ordered for six in the morn
ing. After leaving Brighton the

O'Shea) ordered the coachman te
drive westward in the direction ol
Steyning Sussex by a circuitous
route. They reached Steyring about
8 o'clock in a heavy rain. Mrs
O'Shea, knowing the situation, took
the ribbons, and drove direct to The
Registers Office where the ceremony
took place as stated. In order Il
satisfy Catholic sentiment there
will be second marriage, this tina
by a clergyman in London as soo1
as possible, if not Immediately.

The terrible wind and rain storm
which began Tuesday night appears
to have swept in a vast circle
through northwestern Iowa with
Cherokee as the centre.
Seventy houses in that place
have been carried away by the tor
rent and how many lives have been
lost is yet matter of uncertainty.
Most of the destruction in Cherokee
was wrought by the extraordinary
rise in the Sioux river, resulting
from the tremendous downpour of
water.
The big trestle bridge on which
the Illinois Central crossed the
river, has also been carried away.
Last night the Little Sioux was at
the highest stage ever known. The
best information indicates that the
Illinois Central rails are Under
water continuously for many miles
on the Onawa branch, and that the
damage to roadway and bridges is
enormous. Traffic will be delayed
for many days.
Other railroads besides the ILL
nois Central can scarcely have es.
capped great damage, particularly
the Chicago and Northwestern ant
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St
Paul.
As near as can be learned, tn,
storm affects not only huge
stretch of the country in Iowa, bu
large portions also of Minnesota
and Nebraska.
Reports from Sioux City say th'
storm has almost devastated tha
portion of Iowa. No trains ar
running east.
The Floyd river valley is inundat
ed for 35 miles north of the city
The towns Of Merrill, Hinton an
James are completely submerged

der water. A special from Fair
mount, Mimi, says the lowland

probably heavy.
