ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 25.-A terrible
disastrous cyclone swept along the shore
OF the sea Of Azoff to-day, working i'm

disappointment Over the Prospects for a
Small Attendance.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-To. day the
Pythian camp on the Monument grounds
was formally turned over by tho citi-
zens' committee to Major-General Car
nahan, commander.iD-chie Of the order.
All tho fonts have been erected and
everything is in readiness there fol thu
visiting organizations.
Pythian officers are much disappointed
over tho prospect OF comparatively
small attendadce at the encampment.
This is attributed to two reasons-the
failure of most of the railroad com
panies to mako low rate and the desire
of many people, who would otherwise
attend, to visit the Grand Army en-.
campment at Pittsburg next month. 1t
Is expected that Texas will send ono of
the largest contingents of knights and
other visitors. This is ascribed to the
fact that round trip rate from Texas
to Washington has been made by Texas
railroads.

Henry Hawkins Shoots Himself Through
the Breast.
SPOKANE, May 29.-Henry Hawkins,
a Peone prairie rancher, committed
suicide near the Peone school house, in
full view of the pupils yesterday after
noon. He rode to the crossroads,
Jumped from his horse, drew A Colts
revolver and placed it to his temple.
Then he changed it. and put the muzzle
into his mouth. Again he hesitated,
but quickly put it against his left
breast and fired two shots, the bullets
going entirely through the body. The
teacher and school children saw the
tragic act, but were powerless to act.
Hawkins fell and neighbors ran to his
aid, but they were unable to be of ser
vice. County Commissioner Fred Fen
der happened along and sent for car
riage and brought Hawkins to this city,
where he was placed in the hospital.
He was unconscious and DR.. Dooltttle
had no hopes of his recovery. Haw'
kins was unmarried. He was released
from the asylum two years ago, bu,
has been considered of unbalanced
mind.
