WAS A ooLD-BLooDED CRIME
Particulars of the Murder of Tommie
Kidd.

Kidd.
DALTON, O., Sept. 3o.-Though he is a
mere baby,it was felonious motive that
enraged little 7-year-old Carroll Nc
IlhaneY to plan and deliberately shoot
and kill his playmate, Tommie Kidd.
Tommie Kidd was sitting in his cripple
chair, in which, by means of handle
wheels, he had managed to move his
little paraJytic body about from room to
room. He was just "A years old, having
for ten years of that short existence been
an invalid and confined to the house.
He was bright, intelligent and had an
aptitude for study.
The parents of Tommie, when they
left two weeks ago, decided to leave tie
little invalid in the country in care of
Mrs. McIlhaney; who is a widow.
Carroll, the child murderer, has been
the active terror of this whole commu.
nifty ever since he donned his knee.
breeches. Two years ago he set fire to
his mothers barn, Tommie Kidd, in
defending himself from one of Carroll's
practical jokes, slapped Carroll. This
was the provocation for the murder.
Last Saturday John Homan returned
borrowed double barrelled shotgun to
the McIlhaney house. Thegun was put
in the front parlor. The barrels were
empty. Carroll hunted and found the
gun, loaded both barrels, came down,
considerably drew his baby sister from
the range of his aim, aimed at Tommie's
head and deliberately shot and killed
him instantly. Then he put the gun
back into its accustomed place. The
body of the dead boy had fallen over in
the chair. He set him erect, and, tax
ing.his little sister, went to spend the
rest of the morning with the neighbors.
The boy murderer is not legally re-
sponsible, although he has confessed.
He will never occupy criminal cell for
the murder he has committed. He is a
year too young for that. However, eff
forts are being made to send him to re-
form school.

planned that they were poor decided to
enact laws which would make them all
rich. AS their poverty consisted in the
lack of food, clothes, furniture, houses
and other forms of wealth, they agreed
that instead of producing the things
they needed they would set men to, work
digging silver, which they did not need,
out of the Rocky mountains. By SO do

other labor products would in some mys-
terious way be increased. How much is
twice nothing, and how will the chang

more houses, machinery or beef?

STORM-SWEPT STATES
Hurricane Ragged From the
Gulf to the Lakes.
GREAT LOSS OF LIFE REPORTED
Fifty Persons Killed in Florida-MIll-
ion Dollar Loss In Savannah
Gale in Pennsylvania.

MEMPHIS, Sept. 30.-A Commercial
Appeal special from Jacksonville, Fla,
says:
It is a conservative estimate to say
that fifty people have lost their lives
from yesterdays hurricane, and the
number may run much higher. News
from that portion of the state where the
storm first struck is very slow in coming
in, for the wires are down and railroads
impossible. Wrecking parties which
went out this morning have not re-
turned, and it will be tomorrow before
the full extent of the damage is known.
The hurricane struck Florida at Cedar
Keys, and passed in its path of destruc-
tion over twenty towns and villages, and
reports show that between thirty and
forty people have certainly been killed.
Cedar Keys is about 100 miles south
west of Jacksonville. The hurricane,
which had been churning the waters of
the Gulf, first struck that place, vii
lage of 1900 inhabitants. The only re-
port which has come concerning Cedar
Keys is that the town has been swept
away, and many lives have been lost.
This report comes from Gainesville,
which is fifty miles away. Nobody has
been able to get any reliable news from
Keys.
Northeasterly, the storm struck Will
listown. a small town, where eleven
houses were blown down. One person
was killed and several SO badly injured
that it is expected they will die. Near
here is large turpentine farm, were
state convlcts are employed. Twenty of
these were huddled together in cabin.
A heavy tree was blown across the
cabin, and six of the conYicts were
crushed to death.

In virginia.

RICHMOND. Va, Sept. 30.-The city OF
Staunton, in theShenandoah valley, was
visited by terrible food today. Many
lives were lost, and great damage was
done to property. The great storm yes
terday caused the lake to rise and flood
the city. All the water courses in the
valley became raging torrents, and swept
over their banks, carrying destruction
in their paths. The water in the lower
portion of the city rose so rapidly that
many were engulfed. Others barely es-
capped with their lives, leaving their
property to the mercy of the water.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 9o.-A severe hurri-
cane struck this city at midnight.
Houses were unroofed, wires prostrated
and windows smashed. The high wind
forced the water in the harbor into the
streets. Almost the entire northern
water front is submerged. Several
schooners tied up at Pratt-street wharf,
broke from their moorings and are rest
ing in the middle of Pratt street. The
lower floors of warehouses are flooded.

TILLMAN ON ,CHANGE.

Talks to the Business Men at St Louis.
Iillman of South Carolina was escort
ed on change by a committee OF bust
ness men, headed by President C. H
Spencer of the EXCHANGE
He was shown the SyratIOns or the
bulls and bears in the grain pit and
introduced to the members by Presi-
dent c. II. Spencer. The floor was
crowded, as were also the galleries.
Mr. Iillman said:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen-It is
very kind of you to pause in your mon
to pay even a brief attention to a non
descript politician such as myself, who
doesn't know hardly where he IS at 1
have noticed in a good many business
offices placards warning visitors to
transact their business quickly in or
der that the business man may trans
act his own. L viii follow the precept
of this placard and say but few words,
as L realize that quotations on stocks
and grain are coming in and that they
must have your attention. Shal
therefore speak briefly as I presume
you have little more than time to sat
isfy yourselves as to what kind OF an
animal I am.
Your great river to the south gives
St. Louis wonderful advantages Which
few cities can ever hope to possess. 1t
enables you to force the railroads to
keep their rates down to reasonable
basis and gives you a great highway
to the south.
Notwithstanding the hard times about
which I shall speak I have seen few
evidences of anything but prosperity
and riches everywhere.
