RECORDS INCOMPLETE.

In some counties no mortgages of 18S0-S3
have been Cancelled of record; in other
counties the records were in such confused
condition that the expense of taking the
cancel. ations would have been too great.
while IN counties that have besn recently
settled no mortgages covering real estate
were made during 1SS0-s3. The life Of
mortgages in such counties has been sup
piled by the life ascsrtained in neighboring
counties. The proportion of partial pay
ments made on the face of the total amount
OF mortgages in force in Alabama is 10. 70
per cent.

Rhode Island gave refuge to Anne Hutch
inson, New Englands first woman preacher
But it was not until Sunday last that
woman was ordained TO preach within
the borders of the state. Mrs. Anne Garlin
Spencer was ordained to the ministry and
installed in charge of religious society
worshiping in Providence. 1t is body
meeting under peculiar bond of union. Its
building and the chief fund were left by the
late James Eddy, well known as connois-
seur of art. To some extent the society re-
Spencer is described as a sweet-faced and
modest woman, who was early interested in
the woman suffrage movement aud the free
religious society. Rather queer training
for the ministry.

LIFE OF MORTGAGES.

The average life Of mortgages in Ala
bama is short in comparison with the life Of
mortgages in the north. The reason FOR this
seems 70 be that renewals are more frequent
in the south. Generally the life Of a mort
gage in Alabama is from pa to 81 years.
Taxing the average for the state the life of
mortgage on acres is 2.97 years: on lots
2l3 years; total 2.73 years. 1t has been
impossible to obtain the life of mortgages in
every county in Alabama and in most of
the other states

She expresses an intention to continue at

The REAL reason of the terror ct
New York republicans on seeing their
state passing into the control of the
democrats is because their system of
gerrymandering the districts, legisla'
tive, senatorial and congressional, will
be obliterated and one adopted giving
the democrats the advantage so long
held by the republicans. Taken as a
whole, New York is uniformly demo-
cratic, but republicans have for years
been able to thwart the will of the PeO-
This is now at an end and the demo-
Gratis will not be blamed for giving
republicanism a dose of its own med
icine.

Mr.. Mckinley and his crowd in con

not effect prices here, but they thought
the farmers would naturally find out
that they are being robbed by the tariff
and this tariff OIL farm products was
imposed for blind to make the farm
ers believe they were gwen chance to
rob somebody else.
The man who asks the govern nent
to compel people to pay him more fol

A large number of citizens of the
vicinity Oh Dundee were in town Tues
day as witnesses before a jury Of
inquiry on the sanity of Lorenzo d.
Leach, in the probate court. The
evidence indicated beyond question
that the man is insane on questions of
love and religion Though no evil
dence was brought out indicating that
he had ever threatened or attempted
violence to any person, it is probably
safest that he be looked after by the
proper authorities. The jury evidently
thought so, as a verdict Of insane was
brought in. Leach is a we'll known
character, having lived in the county
since 1874, on a claim which he took

No PARTY is right when its members
become obstructionists. The republican
papers of today are asserting that there
will be no material good done at the
present session of congress, because,
forsooth they-the &. o. p.-have the
president and the senate, and will not
permit any legislation they do not want.
They simply pose as obstructionists.
Whether they will gain friends and
following by such methods remains to
be seen. If the good people of this land
desire to be hoodwinked into endorsing
the obstructlonist policy they will rally
to the support of the plutocracy. If on
the other hand they want the much
needed legislation demanded from
every quarter, by every laborer and
craftsman, by every farmer and stock
man, they will sit down upon the mo
nopoly party Of protection and obstruc
ton, and sit down awful hard too.

A TERRIBLE LANDSLIDE.

Forty Indians and enc Woman
Buried Beneath 1t The Slide
Caused by Hea w Rains-A Larger
Loss of Life Narrowly Averted.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July ia special TO
the Pioneer-Press from Nanimo, B. c.,
says: The steamer Princess Louise from
Skeena brings news of @ terrible landslide
on the banks of the Skeena river, resulting
in the death of one woman and about
forty Indians. On the It'll inst, at 6 a. m,
those residing near the Pacific caunery on
Skeena river heard great rushing noise
in the direction of the high, ~Reep noun
tain at the back of the eannery. In o
moment an avalanche of rocks, earth and
trees were upon the doomed settle
ment, carrying everything before it
into the slough close by the tannery
The occupants of the houses had time to
get outside the buildings, but before they
could escape from the advancing torrent
of debris they were caught and carried
along at a fearful velocity. In all, nine
houses were destroyed, including the mess
house and residence of the foreman of tbs
cannery. In the mess room was the young
0WeQlsn WlIe VI Tie IOreman. one was
carried along in the deadly current and
dashed to death hundreds of feet below
The Indians claim that among those de-
stroyed were about forty Indians of the
Alaskan tribes. Two days after the slide
thirteen Indian bodies had been recovered.
| The body of the woman has not yet been
| found, but there is not the slightest hope
for any living thing within the range of
the terrible slide of boulders, trees and
earth. The slide just missed the cannery
building about two feet. Had the slide
struck the cannery or occurred half an
hour earlier the death roll would have
reached into the hundreds. 1t had been
raining in torrents for the previous -four
days and it is thought that the accumu.
lation of wster in the ravines on the
| mountainside broke away, carrying death
and destruction before it. The Indians
are greatly excited over the disaster and
i are mourning bitterly for their dead
