THE BALEFUL HEADLIGHT Witnessed a Tragedy of Its Working.
 Woman Shoots Woman.

New Orleans, May 27.--Last Saturday the Headlight, sensational weekly pub lication of this city, contained write up" of John Lecourt and Mrs. Ella Car lin. For some time past Mrs Lecourt has charged that Mrs. Carlin has been rob- ping her and her children of the support and affections of Lecourt. She remon- strated on several occasions, but he paid no heed to her. Mrs Lecourt then real ized that she could accomplish her pur- pose by having her husband and Mrs.
 Carlin published in the weekly sensa- tional paper. She called at the office of the Headlight and gave information which resulted in the publication. Mrs
 Carlin went to the Headlight office to ascertain who was responsible for the publication and the editor told her Mrs Lecourt. The latter was sent for On her arrival at the office the women began to abuse each other and finally came to blows, when Mrs. Lecourt drew pistol and shot Mrs Carlin, it is thought fa- tally Mrs. Lecourt was locked up to await the result of Mrs. CarIins wound.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Moderator Pro Tenn. Norman called the association to order promptly at p. m. After the singing of hymn Rev. F. H. Marbury led imp rayer.
 The following telegram was read by the clerk:
 Dickson, Tenn, May 27. ITO the General Assembly of the Cum berland Presbyterian Church:
 "Dickson county, the birthplace of Cumberland Presbyterianism. will pro- vide a site for the orphans home.
 THE DICKSON PRESS.
 The telegram was referred to the com mittee on ministerial relief.
 It was asked that the debate hereafter on the seminary question be limited, but unanimous consent being required, the objections of several prevented it.
 The Seminary Discussion
 being taken up Rev. J. D. Clark took the floor. There were two questions before the association, he said-its power to control the seminary and the confirma- ton of Dr. Mitchell. Both the majority and minority reports emphasize the as- sembly's power to control the seminary. The trustees proposed to pay $57O0 in sal aries next year, if Dr. Mitchell was con firmed, out of an income of $4S90 leaving s72O unprovided for And the salary list of $5700, which purported to come from the president of the board of trustees, in- cluded no salary for Dr. Bell No one present, not even Dr. Bell and Judge Green, could explain this.
 The next speaker was Rev pr. J. l.. Cooper, who called on Rev. J. A. McDon- aid to state the circumstances of the cir culation of a paper at the Meridian as- sembly a year ago, which became the netition presented to the trustees al their June meeting. which he did, expressing at the same time a doubt as to whether the trustees at that meeting knew of the ,tc nf "a a board of visitors should be consulted.
 A Question of Doctrine Only.
 The question of the doctrines held by pr. Mitchell was the only one at issue, asserted Dr. Cooper.
 Rev. w. c. Denson insisted that the June meeting should not have been held without due notice to the faculty. A professorship should not be established in the seminary merely to represent any particular idea.
 Dr. Bell, by consent of the assembly, explained his connection with the uni versity, as he had been named in connec- tion with the institution. He was elect ed professor of missions and homiletIcs in 1884 under no contract as to salary. He <had delivered course of lectures every year, receiving no compensation but the payment of his board. The title of his chair has been changed from missions and homiletics to missions and apolo- getics.
 What Have the Faculty to Do WithItp
 Rev A. H. Whatley contended that the absence of the faculty from a trustees meeting did not affect the meeting. The question now before the assembly was one between the faculty and the board of trustees. The trustees, not the faculty, should control the seminary.

 ly Thirty People Still Missing.
 Victoria, B. C., May 27.-Throughout the sorrowful and sultry night and far into the morning thousands of anxious watchers surged about the approaches to Point Ellice bridge, the scene of yester- days disaster. As body after body was brought to land and tenderly laid upon an improvised bier an eager crowd would crush about the remains, hoping, yet fearing, until a shriek or sob would an- nounce that dear one had been recog- nized and the name of another identified victim would be placed upon the bulletin board and flashed by wire to the sorrow ing friends. When the sixty-first corpse had been brought to the surface the reseuers announced that they could find no more bodies under the wreckage. Still nearly thirty people are missing, whose fate may not be known for days. It is possible that many bodies have been car kied out by the strong tide.

CONFIRMAT0RY.
First Estimates Were Belew the Truth-lt Is Absolutely Impossible tc Grasp the
 Extent of the Disasters.

St. Louis May 27.-St. Louis was struck by a cyclone of frightful fury at a late hour this afternoon. Hundreds of peo- pie were killed and the property loss is beyond estimate.
 At 5:20 p. m. the clouds that had cover ed the city since noon broke into a fu- rious storm. Within ten minutes the wind reached a velocity of eighty miles an hour, sweeping with if dense waves of rain. The highest speed of wind pre- viously recorded here was seventy-two miles an hour in August, 1878. The screeching of the wind through the cleo tric wires, the crash of debris that swept it in every direction, the electric flashes from tangled wires and crashing thun- der made a scene indescribable. The loss of life is appalling, At p. m, the low est estimate of fatalities in East St. Louis and this city is placed at 300. East St. Louis suffered probably the greatest. Messengers came at p. m. from there asking for physicians and nurses.
 The steamer D. H. Pike, with thirty passengers on board, bound for Peoria, was blown bottom side up.

 We sympathize with the brave Cubans struggling for independence and extend them kindly words of encouragement and hope for their success.
 We demand the maintenance of gold standard of value as being in the true in- terests of all our people, especially those obliged to labor for what they receive, and we are opposed to free coinage of silver, except by international agree ment.
 We are opposed to the republican theo- " and method of a protective tariff as being a criminal misapplication of the taxing power of the nation, producing monopoly, corruption and business stag nation. We, therefore, demand tariff leg islation for the constitutional purpose of providing revenues for this govern ment. not for fostering of trusts, keep ing always in mind that unnecessary in reference with business interests be avoided.
 We denounce the republican party for it's fostering of that secret and un- American organization, the American Protective association, whose methods are as cowardly as it's motives are de- spisable, and we are proud of the fact that not one democratic candidate has ever received it's indorsement.

The Three Friends stilI Afioat.

Key West, Fla, May 27. .-The report of the Three Friends which Is bound from Jacksonville to Cuba on a filibustering expedition, being sunk in an attempt to escape the revenue cutter Winona is without foundation. The Winona re- turned to this port at 1:30 o'clock today and reports going as far as Knights key. and that the Three Friends was not seen by her.
 The vessel that went ashore near Mat acumbie key was the Mexican tug Astu. rias. The wrecking of this tug was re- ported in these dispatches. This dis patch was evidently the basis of the re- port about the Three Friends.
