ONE OF THE WORST OF THE SEASON.

A Terrific Rain and Hail Storm Visits
Hot Springs Saturday.
The hail and rain storm of last Sat-
urday afternoon was one of the most
terrific of its kind that has visited Hot
Springs during this season of destruc-
tive storms and floods. Others here
and in this immediate vicinity have.
perhaps, done more damage, but never
during the past summer has SO much
rain fallen in Hot Springs in such q
short space of time nor has the hail
come down in such immense quantities
or in some instances of such prodigious
size. The storm was confined to a
small area, otherwise the floods from
the surrounding canyons and down
Fall River would have been irresistible.
Minnekahta avenue was raging tor
rent few minutes after the rain COM
menced falling. The dining room of
the Hot Springs house was flooded,
and Minnekahta bath house was
flooded to depth of about two feet.
Tom Sings store received q slight
soaking and the street was somewhat
damaged. The Elkhorn railroad yards
were almost submerged and mud and
stones from the little canyon just north
of the stock yard covered the side track.
The greatest damage was done to the
college road. The road and the adioin-
ing canyon were filled with seethinQ
mass of muddy water, hail stones. limbs
logs and other debris. When the storm
snbsided it was found that a large
portion of the dirt embankment was
destroyed and the road was impossible.
1t will require two or three weeks to
repair the damage which is estimated
at two or three hundred dollars. G.
G. Fargo and his faithful clerks worked
all through the storm to keep the water
out of the basement of the Fargo block.
1t was desperate undertaking and
the boys suffered intensely from the
heavy hail but they succeeded keeping
out the mud and slush. Catholicon
fiat was flooded and for a time resem
bled good-sized lake. George Trim
mers wood pile was floated off and
scattered promiscuously all over the
fiat.
The storm extended about half way
to Cacsade. Ira Tillotson, who was
in the city Saturday attending the
convention, started for home shortly
before the storm and before he got to
the Sawyer farm the rain and hail was
falling in torrents. His team became
almost unmanageable and frantic with
pain from the incessant downpour ot
immense hail stones. Mr.. Tillotson
also suffered terribly from the effects
of the hail. He succeeded in unhitchine
his horses and getting them into the
house before any serious damage was
done. He remained there with his
team until the storm subsidized and then
proceeded on his way home. At late
hour Sunday morning the gulleys and
ravines southwest of town were lined
with banks of hail five or six feet
deep. Had the hail storm been 40.
compainied by heavy wind the damage
to buildings and furniture would hava

ADDRESS TO CHRISTIAN CITIzDNs
ing Thursday, Oct. $, n Dav
"i Prhyer for the Country.

chicago, Sept. 21.-At mass meeting
Gained by D. L. Moody today in the Y.
M. L A. auditorium, composed of min
LSteis' Iaymen and Christian people. the
IolloWlng resolutions were adopted.
10 the Christian Citizens of the Unit
ed States: In common with a large num-
Der OF our fellow citizens OF every reli,ri
Gus and political creed, we believe 1nr
Latlon is In the throes of a great con-
illct, portending the most serious conse-
quences, unless there be a merclful M
deposition of the divine hand. We believe
lhls TO be true independently of any set
tlement Of the presidential contest, one
way or another, On the one hand, that
mysterious factor known as public con-
lloehce is declining, as illustrated by
the depression in both financial and in
dustrial circles, while on the other, the
political class, and even sectional feeling,
Is running unusually high, and likely
to become intenser as the day Of cleo
ton draws near.
Not only is it true that questions re-
curing the most careful and dispassion-
ate consideration are very likely to be
determined in many instances by the heat
Of passion, but after their determination
the results may prove baneful over a wide
surface and for heightened period. We
would not view the situation, perplexed
and foreboding as it is, outside of it's
relation to mind of God. We believe In
His presence and agency among US. He
is governor among the nations and will
be entreated of his people. But we be
ioye this to be t. time for Christian
patriots to follow he example of our
fOl theirs in the earlier crises which
have confronted us, and pray unitedly to
HIM that keepeth covenant and mercy
for them that love Him and keep His
COmmandants, that He should visit us
with His especial grace.
I'VE therefore affectiOnately invite and
earnestly urge our Christian fellow ctt-
zCns throughout the length and breadth
OF our land, irrespective Of denominations
al or political utilization, to join with us
In observing Thursday, October g. as a
day of fasting, confession and prayer to
Almighty God, that He will allay passion
and restrain evil among us; that He will
strengthen faith and inspire hope that
He will impart wisdom ana bestow patti
ence, and that He will forgive our in
iouities as a nation and grant us HIS sal
VGtiOn.
I'VE would further respectfully recon-
mend that in addition TO gatherings held
al the usual places Of worship on thai
day union meetings be arranged for ir
the afternoon or evening, where all may
come together to unite their hearts and
voices in what we are persuaded is a
common cause

slLynnrrEs IN NEW YORK CITY
Would Like to Have John Boyd
Thacher Decline.

New York, Sept. 2l.-The meeting of
the democratic state committee called for
tomorrow night IS causing much discus
sion and speculation tonight. Chairman
Danforth said the meeting would simply
be to elect q successor to w. +. Sheehan
as national committeeman and to attend
TO the details Of the campaign. 1t is ru-
mored however. that Senator Coffoy Of
Kings county will voice the sentiments of
the silver men on the ticket, and ask tho
committee to use the power delegated to
it by the state convention and name
new candidate for governor.
John Boyd Thacher has not yet declined
or accepted the nomination, but it is un-
derstcod he will act In the matter as the
committee desires. 1t is because OF this
situation that Senator Hill Is expected in
the city tomorrow to take charge of af-
fairs and watch the meeting. 1t is gen
orally believed the state organization rep
resented by Hill and Murphy hold a MA
jority in their grasp, and therefore the
silvsrites will be defeated.

was struck by one shell which injured

ing the safety valve. The Dervish rifle
fire was essentially good.
The wooden parts Of the upper decks
were simply riddled, and the sides Of all
the Gunboats showed hundreds Of hits.

MuRrul,s NEW PENSION REPORT
Gain of Only 1914 over the Previous
Year.

washington. Sept 21.--Dominic l. Muir
nbv. commissioner of pensions, has made
his annual report for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1896, to Secretary Francis,
IL saws. "There were added to the
rolls during the year 40,374 new pensioners
and there were restored 1878 who had
been previously dropped, total of "a

were 29, 1913 by deaths and 11A by remar-
riage (widows), 1854 by legal limitation

pension for three years and 93Z3 Tor oIlei
causes, an aggregate of 44,093.
The net gain over the previous year
was only 154. and 1t may safely be as
snnned that the roll will show a marked
and steady diminution unless congress
should enact still more liberal provisions
than are now upon the statute books

ARE TO PUT UP DUBOIS
IDAHO SILVER REPUBLICANS WILL
NAME HIM FOR GOVERNOR,
Friends OF the White Metal viii
Have an Opportunity to In
dOrse the Senator.

Boise, Idaho, Sept H.-The silver re
publicans of Idaho are juoiiant tonight.
The ticket nominated by the first con
vention was never satisfactory to any
great number of people, and the fact
that an active war was Waged against
it by some Of it's candidates made it ab-
solutely necessary that it be recon
structed. The one idea in making up a
new ticket IS to have nothing to 10 with
the populists. Judging from the OK.
pressions of delegates within reach ami
with full knowledge Of the wishes OF
voters throughout the state, the follow
ing accurate forecast of the ticket to be
placed in the field next Saturday can
be made: Governor Fred II. dubois,
congressman, ". +. Borah; supreme
Judge Edgar Wilson; secretary Of state
w H. Watt; auditor, Bartlett Sinclair;
treasurer Tim Regain, school sHperin-
tendent, NJ. T. CoWloy; mine superm-
tendent, Il. f. Hastings.
Watt, Regain and Hastings are demo-
Gratis. Their nomination, and the fact
that Secretary Walsh has said that sucn
a ticket would be recognized officially By
the democratic national committee, Will
win to its support many Of the demo-
cratic voters of the state. Senator Du-
bOis Is in the east, and does not Know
Of the determination to run him for gov
crnor. The object of this is to let him
receive the fire of the Mckinleyites, the
only purpose of whom in this state is
to defeat him for reelection to the sen
ate.
Borah, Idaho's brilliant young orator
who could have had the nomination for
congress two years ago, said tonight that
he was willing to make the race and was
/ ready to be billed for two speeches {
! day till the close of the campaign. Ever
! the McNinleyites admit that his appear
/ ance in the field means thc defeat .
! Captain Gum, the populist nominee. Al
/ interesting note in this connection is the
/ fact that Borah is the son -in-laW Of Gov
ernor Mcconnell But the republican
committee had already made arrange
ments to send Governor Mcconnell over
into Oregon, where his speeches for thu
free and unlimited coinage Of silver with
ont waiting the action Of any other M

as they are in this state.

F|REBUGS BURN MALVERN l:
 3l The Arkansas Town Almost En- tireIy Destroyed. 2- QUARTER MILLION LOSS 
 Three Suspects Arrested and Spirited to Little Rock to Avert tynchIng-0ne of
 Them ConfesSes

Little Rock, Ark, July 1S.-The town of. Malvern, Ark, at the junction of the Hot Springs and Iron Mountain rail- ways. was almost entirely destroyed by fire early this morning. The total loss is estimated at $25O,OOO, only a small DOT tion of which is covered by insurance The burned buildings include the rail road depots, two hotels, the bank and all Of the principal business houses in the place.
 The fire was without doubt, the result of. a plot to destroy the town, as it broke out in three different places. The town had no fire apparatus, and the fire burn ed itself out.
 The principal losers are: A. Adams, $50,000; Hughes & McSay, $25,000; w. l.. Cooper & Bro, $15, ,O00; H. A. Butler, $10, 900; H. Barnet, $3200; Powell Garden, 5000; R. Cleary s4500; A. M. Duffie, $30O0; Rhodes 6 Miller $200O; E. k. Morson, $2000 Bank of Malvern, $4000; J. E. Chamberlain, 5000.
 The citizens firmly believing that the town had been fired, instituted a search early in the day for the miscreants, and about noon arrested three suspicious characters, two white men and a negro. The feeling against them rapidly ln7 creased and early In the afternoon Sher- if Fitzhugh organized a posse and es- corting the men to the depot, took train for this city, where they arrived tonight. The names of the men are Case Will Hams, colored, and E. A. Miller and Flu gene Ingram, white. The men were placed in the penitentiary for safe keep ing. Williams says he came from St. Louis, while the others claim Little Rock as their home. Miller has made a confession duplicating himself Ingram and Williams. Theft was probably the object

Indignation of Colored Delegates to Ep-
 worth League Convention.
 Asbury Park, N. J., July 18.-The re- fusal of the hotel proprietors in Ocean Grove to entertain the colored delegates to the Epworth league convention being held in Ocean Grove caused a lot of trou- ble yesterday afternoon. The committee on arrangements had made no provision for entertaining their colored brethren, and when the latter attempted to get in some of the hotels they were promptly refused admission. This action reused their indignation and they reported the matter to the convention. The commit tee could do nothing, as the hotel men were firm. Finally several ministers se- cured accommodation for the colored delegates among their own people in West Park. At one time the colored del- egates threatened to bolt the convention and return to their homes, but wise counsel prevailed. Some of those ostra- cised were prominent ministers in the African denomination,
