ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
TUESDAY EVENING, MAY II.

SENATOR HILLS friends seem to fear
that the ''anti-snappers" will abandon
their proposed Syracuse convention,
and thereby fail to make patent their
utter impotence. The small vote the
anti-snappers could secure by hook and
crook in Brooklyn, their stronghold, .
sicl,ened them, and they are now con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY Of confining
their action to the presentation to the
national democratic convention OF Il
protest, which, they sag, has been signed
by two hundred thousand democratic
voters of New York, against the admis-
sion of the delegates unanimously elect
ed by the regular democratic conven-
ton of New York on the ODD Of last
February. What the anti-snappers
NAV do or not do will be of no conceiv-
able importance to the national demo-
cratic convention. That convention
will be composed of democrats, and
conventions so composed don't notice
kickcrs, even if previously good and
true democrats, let alone mugwumps,
who for years past have been valnly
trying to defeat the regular democratic
party, who tried to elect republican
Mayor of New York at the last cleo
ton in that city, and a republican Gov
ernor of New York State, as late as
last fall. No, whether the Syracuse
convention be held or not, and, if held,
what it may do or not do, are things in
which the national democratic conven-
ton will not be at all interested, and
with which it will unquestionably have
nothing to do.

Senator Barbour's Funeral.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1.-THE
remains of Senator Barbour, accom-
panied by the Congressional commit
tees, his immediate relatives and a few
personal friends, all in charge of a dep
uty scrgeant-at-Mms of the Senate,
were taken from his residence this
morning and conveyed to Popular Hill,
Md, where they were finally inferred
beside those of his wife this afternoon.
The place of burial cannot be reached
by railroad so it was found necessary to
convey the party by private convey
ances distance of nearly fourteen
miles. Immediately after the funeral
the party returned to the city.

The Mississippi

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 17.-The rise in
the Mississippi continues but more
slowly, being scarcely more than half
an inch per hour. The damage to
crops, ETC., in the bottom lands grows
daily in the immense districts up and
down the swollen stream now under
water. Every point of danger along
the river is carefully guarded and am
pie warning will be give were breaks
to occur. The breaking of the Madison
dyke in East ST Louis yesterday threat
ened to bring on coal famine which
may send the price of coal to twice its
present figures per ton.
ALTON, Ills, May Humorous
families have been rescued from the
tops of floating houses by steamboats,.
SO far no lives have been lost, but the
suffering of those driven from their
homes is intense. Fully 100000 acres
of rich farm lands have been flooded
and the crops destroyed. The river
has now reached so feet above low
water mark, the highest point attained
since 1914.
New ORLEANS, May 1.-THE latest
advices received from the Gypsy
creyasse is to the effect that the break
continues to widen at the rate of about
10 feet an hour and is now 175 feet
wide. All the available force has been
sent to the scene and neither labor nor
expense will be spared to repair the
break.
The news from the Panther Forst
break is that the water is inundating
almost the entire country and con-
siderable amount of cattle, stock and
hogs have been drowned. Information
from Shreveport says the Red river
is rising rapidly.

Terrible Murder.

BIG STONE GAP, Va, May News
Reached here yesterday from Pound
Gay, near the Kentucky line, ofthe ter
rible murder Of five persons committed
from ambush Three men, one woman,
and one child were the victims Ira
Mullins and wife and child, Wilson
Mullins, and John Chapel Moore. Ira
Mullins and family were riding along,
when, without any warning whatever,
they were fired upon by party from
behind Il large rock. Two other men
were with Mullins when fired upon,
but they escaped. None of the dead
lived to tell their tale This is a very
mysterious affair, as no one knows the
cause OF the shooting Mrs. Mullins
had about 81 900 with her, which was
taken from her, but it is thought this
was done only to conceal the real mo-
tive of the crime. Ira Mullins was con-
sidercd dangerous man, and had sew
eral enemies, who, it is thought by
some, killed him because they were
afraid of him and had to kill the rest of
the family to conceal the crime.

LARGEST SAILING sH1p.-Thc NIaris

LARGEST SAILING SHIP.-Thc Maria
Rickmers, recently launched at Port
Glasgow, Scotland, is the largest sailing
ship i'll the world. She is 375 feet long,
with beam of is feet, draws % feet of
water and has over 80 feet depth of
hold Her net tonnage is 1892 and
over double that in carrying capacity.
She is built of steel, with double bot
tom fore and aft, and is rugged as five
masted bark, carrying altogether about
81. 900 square feet of canvas. An unus-
ual feature of her construction is that
she is fitted with engines of sufficient
power to give her speed ofabout seven
knots during Gains and light winds.
As compared with the big American
ship Shenandoah, the Maria Rickmers
is 80 feet longer, 1 foot less beam, iand
has the same draught. At the same
time she carries nearly 900 more yards
of canvas and has much larger ton
mage. The nearest competitor to the
Maria Rickmers is the five-masted sail
ing ship La France, which is the same
length, lis one foot wider, but has less
draught and tonnage.

in the City Hall square awaiting the
finish of the tep-mile bicycle road race,
when therabid dog dashed up the street.
The crowd became panic-stricken and
many were knocked down in the rush
to escape the dog. Halfa dozen per-
sons WIRE bitten in the square and more
than a score of dogs were attacked in
the same locality. Then the dog sprang
at Deputy Marshal Neal, who fired, but
missed, The deputy again aimed at the
dog, and with arm extended was about
to discharge the revolver again, when
the dog then about ten feet distant,
sprang into the air and seized the dep
uty's right arm just above the elbow in
his teeth, decorating it badly. The dep
uty tore the dog away and again dis
charged his revolver, but the bullet did
not hit The animal dashed into the
crowd and finally was killed.

Triple LyHching.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May ia spe-
cial from Admission, Ala, gives full de-
tails of the triple lynching at Chiidcrs-
burg and the crime which led to it, As
stated in yesterdays GAZETTE, it APP
pears that on Saturday night last D. C.
Bryant, a prosperous farmer who lives
five miles from Childersburg, left home
to go to the village to attend a meeting.
About 10 o'clock Mrs. Bryant was
awakened by some one coming in
through the window and by the, dim
light which she left burning she could
see burly negro coming toward her
bed followed by two others. The fright
ened woman screamed, but hardly had
the sound been uttered before the fore
most negro struck her on the head with
pine knot knocking her into insensi-
bility. The sleeping children were
awakened by the noise, but were ter
rifed into silence. Then the brutes, in
turn, assaulted Mrs. Bryant. After
they had gone the children tried in
vain to arouse their mother and went to
neighbours house and told him what
had happened. Mr.. Bryant returned
home at about this time and posse
was at once organized and went to look
for the negroes. A physician was sum-
moned for Mrs. Bryant, but at first it
seemed that all their efforts would be
useless. She was in a very delirious
condition, having for several weeks this
spring been patient at a female infirn-
airy at Rome, Ga. Her recovery is doubt
full. The search for Mrs Bryant ASSISTANTS was

the colored cook became intoxicated and told
how her brothers Jim and Berry Rodch had
made her leave Mrs. Bryant's window un-
fastened and that though they did not tell
her what they wanted it opened for she form

The Methodist General Conference
DR.. Ridgeway, for the Women's Ma
tional Council, in session in Chicago,
presented a ringing resolution yesterday
asking the Methodist Episcopal General
Conference, in session in Omaha, to
come out squarcly in favor of the adj
mission of women into the legislative
council of the church, and declare that
there was no such thing as sex i'll the
church of the living God. The paper
created heated discussion and was fl
nally referred to the committee on lay
delegation. The woman question is
sure to come before the conference now
and may come in both the reports of
the committee OH lay delegates and the
judiciary
The fourth part of the report on cpis-
copacy recommended that there be no
colored bishop elected, for the reason
that no more bishops are needed at
present. and when the time should ar
rive to elect more bishops question of
color should not be considered in the
election of bishops.
DIR. Buckley spoke at some length on
this part ofthe report. He said there
was no desire on the part of the MEM
bers of the committee to pass the ques-
ton of Il colored bishop lightly. The
matter had been discussed at length in
the committee and the colored men had
made some of the most eloquent
speeches in the contest. The report
was adOpted.

vessel of 5S5 tons burden, together
with the Captain, first mate, steward,
carpenter, and two boys, were swallow
up by quicksands on the northeast end
of Sable Island, n. S., on Thursday
night. The case is almost without
parallel.
The vessel was the Norwegian bark

Fonsbcrg, Norway, in ballast, to ship
Harbor, n. S. The vessel struck on
Sable Island early Thursday morning;
but was worked off after daybreak ana
had gone half mile when she ran upon

did not make any water, so the captain,
first mate, stewart, carpenter and Two
boys decided to remain on board un'h
she could be hoated. The second mate
boatswain and four seamen left thg
bark Thursday, and were taken aboard
an American schooner.
Later in the day they recovered theIf
courage and started for their vessel,
which could be seen, but thick ioS

way and landed on the lslahu.
