THE CUTTING ESTATE.
The Disinheriting of Robert L. Cuttin
Third, Confirmed.

The Disinheritins of Robert L. Cutting,
Third, Confirmed.
New YORK, Feb. 3.-The Herald says:
The reports current at the time of
Robert L. Cuttings sudden death that
he had disinherited his son, Robert L..
Cutting, Jr.. were absolutely correct.
The will has not been offered for pro-
bate in the surrogate's Office, and there
is very little proba bility that it will be
filed until papers sent TO France for
Mrs. Cuttings signature have been re-
turned by her.
Young Mr.. Cutting will begin con-
test as soon as the will is filed. His
qualification as executor of the will OF
his grandfather last week was the pre-
1iminary step toward the contest of his
fathers will.
The grandfather appointed Robert
+. Curting, third, one of his executors,
with leave to qualify on attaining his
majority. This young Cutting did not
do till last week. Robert L. Cutting,
second, explained in his will distinctly
that he disinherited his son for his
marriage to Minnie Seligman, the ac-
tress, in 1892.
Mrs. Cutting, the mother, inherited
a fortune from the Meale estate in Balti.
more, and an interest in this will
eventually go to young Cutting.

AN ABANDONED BABE.

Graded I'm Satchel and Left In . Car
at the Union Depot In ST. Louis.
ST. Louis, Feb. 5.-A baby about one
week old was found in a satchel in a
car at the Union depot Saturday morn
ing. The child was alive, holes being
cut in the satchel to give it air. The
car in which the infant was found was
the chair-car of the Frisco train, which
arrived from the west at 6:3O o'clock
Saturday morning. Fred Woerheide,
private watchman for the Terminal
Railroad association, was the discov-
erer. He was going through the train
after the passengers had left the
coaches, as is the custom, when he
espied the upposedly-forgotten bag
gage beneath the seat in the chair-car.
He picked it up and subdued sound
resem bling an infants cry startled
him. Examining the satchel he found
the holes cut in the side of it and he
made up his mind that it was a case of
abandoned babe. The Waterman took
the satchel to Depot Matron Mrs
Fraser. vino opened it and discovered
bright male child not over a week old.
A bottle of milk with nursing appa-
ratus was with the child. The infant
was neatly dressed in white and
wrapped in q child's blanket, which
had border of red. Mrs. Fraser gave
the baby into the charge of Sergt-
O'Malley, and he assigned Officer Kass-
ing to take it to st. AIMS asylum at
Tenth and Biddle streets.
The police will endeavor to find out
who left the infant, though there is
not much likelihood that they will be
successful. The train was a through
train from California. The satchell is
of black material, twenty-five inches
long, a foot wide and ten inches deep

RAzED BY A TORNADO.

bamm-Fifty Persons More or LoSs
iured by the Collapse OF Churcn
which n Christian Endeavor Mee..k
was Being Held-Several Already Ocs
Damages and Death Eleswheres
MEMPHIS. Tenn, Feb. "A tornado
swept over northern Mississippi iate
Yesterday afternoon, leaving destruc-
ton in its path. The wires were pros
tratea. and it is impossible to secure
particulars except from few points.
The wind came up from the southwest
and passed through the northeastern
portion of the state, crossing the Ala
bama line near Columbus, Miss, where
the most serious damage is reported SD
far. Half a dozen buildings were
wrecked in Columb bus, trees uprooted,
fences blown down and the streets
strewn with debris. In the vicinity OF
Macon and Artesia, Miss, the farmers
suffered great loss, but the extent OF
the damage cannot be learned, owing
to the prostration of the wires. No
lives were lost as far as is known.
Worse Than at First Supposed.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 5.-A special
to the Commercial from birmingham,
Ala, says: Further details OF Satur-
days storm which swept over this sec
ton of North Alabama shows the dam
age to have been far greater than was
at first supposed.
At North Birmingham dozen houses
were blown down. James Smith, q
railroad section foreman, was fatally
wounded by the roof of his house fall
ing in. His wife and children escaped
with less serious injury.
At East Lake road three depots were
blown down.
The worst damage was at Gate City.
where the Congregational church
was blown down. The Christian En-
deavor society, with fifty persons in
attendance, was holding a meeting, and
not one of them escaped unhurt.
Mrs. r. II. Pritchard was crushed
by falling beams and died at mid
night. She was the wife OF
the superintendent of the Alabama
rolling mills, and her home was at IRON
ton, o. A young man named Williams
died yesterday from his injuries. Mrs
James Miles received fatal internal in
juries; G.. S. Drumhiller was mortally
wounded; Charles Wilson will die
from his injuries: Richard Miles had
leg broken; Will Bears skull was
fractured; Jams Miles knee was broken;
Miss Anna Birdsall's spine was in
jured; James Hartshorn received per-
haps fatal injuries internally; Rever
East was badly hurt, and from thirty
to forty others received injuries of a;
minor character.
When the tornado struck the
church the building collapsed, the
roof falling in a solid mass on the con-
gregation. The strong pews partially
broke the fall, or every person in the
house would doubtlessly have been
crushed to death. Axes had to be used
in releasing many who were under the
debris.
Nearly every house in Gate City was
more or less damaged by the storm
An immense amount of timber in the
track of the storm was destroyed. The,
damage will amount to large sum.
At East Birmingham a church and
school building was wrecked. Near
Choccolocco tree fell on Mrs. J. F.
McDowelps house, killing her instant
ly. Telegraph wires were blown down
and many trees fell across the railroad
tracks.
