it was constructed under the supervi-
sion OF the management OF theSouthern

FORT WORTH. Tex, April T--All OF
Texas has needed rain, SO the great evangel-
ist, Dwight Moody. this afternoon called
on his audience of eight thousand Chris
tians to pray fervently that the food gates
might be opened. Tonight when the taber-
nacle was crowded with ten thousand peo-
pie from Fort Worth and surrounding
cities, Mr.. Moody announced that word
had come from several points that rain had
fallen. A few minutes later the storm burst
on Fort Worth and torrents OF rain fell.
Then Mr. Moody gave thanks to God and
called on the congregation to join in sing
ing Coronation and "All Hail the Power
of Jesus Name. Let Angels PROSTATE
Fall"
The song had surged forth from ten
thousand voices when a cracking noise was
heard and then the roof sagged, the raftcrs
gave way and the heavy timbers and boards
covered with tar and gravel came down on
portion of the congregation. There was
a panic Scores on scores OF women faint
ed, some men lost their senses and piled
pell neil over those near them.
Mr. Moody grasped the situation and.
moving TO the middle of the platform, lifted
both hands to heaven. moving his arms
slowly to and fro. His attitude and cool
ness stopped the panic and men began to
go to work to rescue those In danger. A
drenching rain was falling, but they worked
hard and the wounded were soon taken out
and carried to their homes or to the houses

ernor Watts Lynched by Mob
Near GreenvilIc, Ala.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April PA man
who arrived at 8 o'clock tonight from
Greenville, Ala, forty miles south of here,
reports that five negroes were lynched near
there last night. Just before his train left
Greenville. tonight, the sheriff of the coun-
ty came into town and reported that in pass
ing Buckalow plantation, three miles from
town, he had found the five negroes, three
men and two women, hanging to some trees
and their bodies cold. They evidently had
been dead some hours.
Last night news reached Greenville of
the brutal murder near Butler, in that
county, of Watts Murphy, popular young
white man, by the negroes. Murphy was a
prominent young farmer, being nephew
of the late Governor Watts, of this city.
After numbering him, the negroes placed
his body in brush heap and burned it.
The debris was examined anu the teeth,
liver and heart of the victim were found,
the rest of the body had been consumed.
An investigation instituted. Three
negroes were arrested. Finally to-day one
of the negroes gave way and confessed the
crime, duplicating two other negro men and
two women. The officers secured and were
closely guarding the prisoners when last
heard of last night.
The report tonight does not give the de-
tails of how the mob secured the murdererS
except that they were taken by force. A
telegram from Greenville confirms the story.

CYCLER LENZ'S FATE
RELATIVES HAVE PROOF THAT HE
WAS MURDERED BY THE IxURDS.
Missionary i'm Armenia Containing
Facts I'm the Case.

PITTSBURG, April 21.-Relativcs of
Frank Lenz, the Pittsburg cyclist who
making a trip around the world on his
wheel for the Outing, now convinced
that he was murdered by the Kurds in
Armenia at the beginning of the massacre
there. T. p Langhan, cousin of the wheel
man, has just received letter confirming
this belief The letter is written by an
American medical missionary in Armenia,
but his name cannot be given, for fear
that the letter might find it's way back to
Armenia, and his life would be endangered,
because he confirms the special Armenian
letter given to the press last Friday. The
missionary says the situation is serious,
and that the danger of an outbreak is inn
minent He says the Arnlenians intend to
fight for their liberty.
Speaking of Lenz. the missionary says he
has reliable information that Lenz was
killed last May at koordali on the Alish-
grid plain near the famous pass of Deli
Baba The missionary talked with a man
who saw Lenz at karakaesseh on what
the native said was two-wheeled cart.
Two days later the man saw the dead body
of the wheelman at Zedikan. From the
description given there is little doubt that
it was the body of Lenz. The missionary
has sent for three men who also saw the
body, and expects to be able to tell just
how Lenz met his death.

THE ELKs' TROUBLE.
Prediction that the Order Will Soon
BE Stronger than Ever.

CLEVELAND o., April 2.-One of the
officers of the Grand Lodge Of the Order OF
Elks said to-day: indications are that the
friction which has existed in the Order OF
Elks during the past year will be amicably
settled, all differences adjusted and the
order be stronger than ever. In accordance
with the resolutions adopted at the meeting
held in Chicago on March 1s, at which both
factions were represented, more than two
hundred of the 300 lodges of the order have
indorsed the action taken and decided to
send grand lodge members to the meeting
to be held in Buffalo, May 20. Grand
Exalted Ruler William Frieday, of Brook
meeting, stating that the sentiment In the
organization is to meet as brothers, allow
no questions of personal ambition to inter-
vene and predicting that the order will be
stronger in the future than it has been in
the past. There is every assurance from
leading members that the Buffalo meeting
Will result in the complete restoration of
harmony in the ranks of the order
Hon. Nj. A. Foran, O. prominent member
of the order, who was the attorney of the
Atlanta City faction in the recent litigation
in the United States Court here, said to-
night that there was truth in the report
of the probable settlement of the difficulties
He declared that the action of the Cleveland
Grand Lodge be sent to the Buffalo meeting
was illegal, and tha1 it will be recorsidered
at the next meeting. Foran says the con-
test between the two factions will be waged
to the end, and he is confident that the side
which he represents will win.
