A FAMOUS CASE.
That of. the State of Texas vs.. the United
States.

Ahsit VI the ctate VI Ae1stS vs.. the OHiteu
states.
ST. LOUIS, May 6.-Evidence is being
taken in this city in the famous Green
county case between the United States
and Texas, in which each claims large
area from the other. Attorney General
Culberson OF Texas came to st. Louis for
the purpose of examining II. L. Pritchett
of Washington University, who made an
examination of the country last summer.
Professor Prichett gave some evidence as
important as unexpected. He had taken
observations at a point where the pillows
marking the western boundary were
located and discovered that they were
about a quarter of mile west OF the true
meridian. Should this be established it
would mean the transfer of q strip a
quarter OF a mile wide nearly 200 miles
long from the Indian territory to Texas.
The point has never been raised before.

Great Damage Done In The

cyclone in and around Charleston.
Mr.. II. M. Evans of Charleston
arrived here at II o'clock last

time he left Charleston cyclone
had just passed over that vicinity,
doing much damage-how much
he could not tell accurately. He
aid that the Charleston rolling
mills were blown down, and were
50 far as he could see, a totel
wreck. The side walls were blown
in and the roof had fallen in on
the wreck. Only the tall smoke
stack was left standing.
The Berkeley Phosphate Com
pany had one large warehouse
blown down and partially away
leaving their guano exposed to
the weather.
On the railroad, about three
miles out from Charleston, he
said he saw six or seven box cars
that had been blown from the
track and turned bottom side up at
least twenty-five feet away. In
another place there were two more
cars treated likewise. The first
named lot were blown to the west
side of the track and the last two
to the east side, showing that the
wind was blowing in a whirl as it
passed. The trucke of some the
cars were thrown to one side of the

aThe liquors to be seized must

against this section if he does not
know that the liquor is brought in
for sale. The liquor cannot be
seized IN transit, IN less it is

blown almost entirely away. The
train had much difficulty in
getting through the wreckage,
having TO clear away much of it
before they could pass. Tho
telegraph wires were all down
along the road, and the North
eastern train became so entangled
among them at one time that they
had to stop to keep from having
the smokestack torn from the
engine.
Mr.. Evans said that when the
train reached Branchville a gentle.
man there told him that the Ger
man Lutheran Church in Charles
ton had been blown down and had
fallen on the police station, but
what the extent of the damage
done to the latter building was he
could not say. Ie said that he saw
the church steerle awaying in the
wind as the train pulled out for
Columbia, but did not see it fall. :
S The wires were all down between
this city and Charleston last night
so that nothing could be heard
from there directly, butt is feared
that bad reports will be heard to-
day. The Western Union could
not get communication with
Charleston from any point, which
means that the wires out of that
city were all down in every direc-
ton.
The storm here increased in
severity as the night advanced.
For hours there was a .perfect
78downpour of rain, accompanied by
the most continuous and severest
wind storms known here in years.
1t blew big guns and made frame
houses tremble. Great damage
must have been done to both corn
and cotton. AT two o'clock there
was no sign of the storms
abatement-it seemed rather to be
gathering strength.
