STORMS AND FLOODS.


Great devastations are reported
by storms and floods all through
the West. Cloud bursts are re-
ported i'll Abilena, Texas, in the
mountains of Mexico and at Con
nully, Washington, which was
entirely destroyed. The Fraser
river is on a rampage and its
flood has rendered two thousand
families homeless and destroyed
three millions Of property. At
Pueblo, COL, thirty-two persons
missing. And these are but
specimens. The incidents are
thrilling.

A PASTOR WHO SAYS PEG
PIE THAT GO TO HE'LL
ARE BURNED UP AS
4 LOG.
charlotte News.

Rev. J. E. King, Of Arlington
Baptist church, is succeeding in
getting up a big stir in his vicin-
ity. He has become not only
rich and racy i'll his expressions
and manner but is decidedly sen-
sationa1 in his doctrinal belief,
and out-Beechers Beecher him
self. Some of his members stand
by him and even swear by him,
while others won't venture near
the church at all.
Some time ago Rev. Or. Har-
rill, of the Philadelphia Presby-
terrain church, preached sermon
on THE Future Punishment, in
which he declared: 1.-THE man
who goes to heaven is in the very
presence Of God and enjoys the
highest glory forever. But the
man who goes to hell burns up
Ikea log heap and that's the
last of him. It may take longer
to burn him than it does to burn
the log, but the process is the
same"
Some of his congregation are
up in war, but he quoted scrip
ture in order to prove what he
said and many of his hearers &C
cepted it as gospel truth. At
present he is the talk of Clear
Creek.
Rev. Mr.. Crabtree, a Baptist
who still holds to the old faith l.,
was i'll the city today to confer
with ReVs. Pritchard and Austin
in regard to the case, and to ask
their opinion Oh the matter. MI.
C1abtree says King has become
very sensational and breaches all
manner of heresy every Sunday.
He says further that King served
Arlington and Wilson Grove
churches about four years ago,
left there and at Wax1law church
was expelled from the Baptist
ministry. He returned and has
been spreading discord around
Arlington and Wilson Grove
ever since.

NORTH CAROLINA SENA
TORSHIP.
A SPIRITED CONTEST IN PROSPECT BE
TWEEN THE CONTENDING FACTIONS.
Washington Post.


The approaching Senatorial
contest in North Carolina prom
Uses to be the most intensely in
teresting ever held in that State.
There is no derth of political
timber. The prominence OF the
candidates adds to the interest of
the fight Senator Jarvis, ap-
pointed by the Governor to fill
the unexpired term Of Senator
Vance, announced before he &C
cepted the appointment that he
would be a contestant for the
seat now held by Senator Ran
som. Between Messrs Ransom
and Jarvis there has long been a
bitter rivalry. Mr.. Ransom has
worn the Senatorial toga tor
twenty-tOur years and wants to
succeed himself. He will make
a bitter fight to retain his hold,
and the equal determination of
Governor Jarvis to win will add
zest to the race before unequall-
ed. Hon. 7. ". Mason, Railroad
Commissioner, is another con-
testant. Senator Jarvis is a free
silverite; Senator Ransom is
staunch administration man, and
the administration forces will
probably be with Senator Ran
som. The result of the race will
depend upon the complexion of
the new Legislature and also
whether Congressman Hender-
son and Alexander will announce
their candidacy. The friends of
Captain Alexander are urging
him to enter the race and
assure him of success. Among
the many candidates for the Sen
atorship from the Western Dis
trict are Judge A. c. Avery, of
the Supreme Court; Judge Arn-
field of the Superior Court; Judge
R. 7. Bennett, Hon. Augustus
Leazer, ex-Speaker of the House
of Representatives of the State;
ex-Judge J. H. Merriman; ex-
Acknowledgement Davidson, and
Hon. F. l. Osborne, the present
Acknowledgement.

gave him a commission as COM
mander-in-chief Of the Indus
trials" or "Commonwealers"
The Calvin people, Oh reaching
their camp today, deposed Frye
from command Of the Industrial
army and elected Calvin General.
Though the Connonwealers
are living upon scant fare--bread,
coffee, and a mite of neat-the
Galvinites are absolutely without
provisions, but they intend to re-
main at Bladensburg so as to
participate in the monster dem
onstration of the unemployed
which they expect will take
place toward the end of this
month.
