M00DYS PRAYER
he Was Exulting Over How it
Brought Rain.
While Rejoicing the Tabernacle
Roof Fell In.
FORTY PEOPLE HURT.
Scores of Women tainted and
Panic Resulted.

Fort WORTH, Tex, April 22.-Au OF
Texas has needed rain, SO the great
evangelist, Dwight Moody, called upon
his audience of 8, 900 Christians to pray
fervently that the hoodgates might be
opened. This was at 3 p m. yesterday.
At night when the Tabernacle was
crowed by 10000 people 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 upon the congregation to
Join in singing Coronation and Cali
Hail the Power of Jesus Name, Let
Angels PROSTATE FALL The song had
gurged forth from 10000 voices, when
a cracking noise was heard and then
the roof sank and the rafters gave way
and the heavy timbers and boards COW
cred with tar and gravel came down
on portion of the congregation.
There was a panic. Scores upon
scores of women tainted, some men
lost their heads and piled pell-mell
over those near them. Mr.. Mood
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
GOODNESS 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 nearby.
About forty persons were slightly
hurt.
SAVED By JOHN L. SULLIVAN.
Boston, April 22.-Ex-Champion John
L. Sullivan distinguished himself as
a life saver yesterday afternoon. Just
before o'clock he heard a woman
scream in the rear of the house. He
ran down the stairway and saw at
once there was a fire in the kitchen
and that Mrs. Margaret Donnell,
the cook, was in danger of being
burned to death, her clothes having
been ignited by blazing fat on the
stove. He quickly wrapped big mat
around the woman and succeeded in
extinguishing the fire. She was badly
burned, but the chances are favorable
for her recovery. Sullivan's hands
were burned in several places and he
was obliged to call on doctor, but
the wounds are not serious.
EXHIBITION MODELS DESTROYED.
PARIS, April 22.-A fire in the school
of arts and industries at Chalons-sur-
Marine has destroyed the models and
machines that had been or were being
prepared for the exhibition to be held
in Paris in 1900. The loss exceeds /,
OOO, 900 francs.

cATTLEMgN EXCITED.

Greenwood County, Kan, Alarmed Over
the Arrival of Shipments of Cattle.
EUREKA, Kan, April 22.-Excitement
broke out afresh here yesterday among
the cattlemen when a train-load of
steers from the southwest was IN
loaded. These cattle were shipped
from San Simon, Ariz, which is north
of the quarantine line, but it is believed
that at least part of them
came from old Mexico. A committee
from the Greenwood Catt1emen's as
ISOLATION walked up to Sheriff Smith
at an early hour and he took charge of
the cattle holding them in temporary
quarantine pending the action of the
live stock sanitary commission mem
bers of which board We're telegraphed
for. The protective association held
an executive session in the afternoon,
at which a course of action was
mapped out to be pursued in case the
cattle should be released From what
can be learned it is reasonably certain
that force will be used if necessa ry to
prevent the moving of the suspieioned
cattle.
The introduction of splenitic fever at
this time would bankrupt Greenwood
county, and the local cattlemen feel
that all they possess is involved in
the issue. Under such circumstances
trouble may reasonably be expected
in case the sanitary commission de-
clines to place contra band cattle in
permanent quarantine. The excite
ment has been intense all day, and
yesterday evening messengers were
dispatched to all parts of the coun-
ty, calling upon the stockmen to as
semble in full force to-day.
