The second article made up from the
journals Of the late E. ]. Glave. who crossed
Africa in the interests of the Century, APP
pears in the September number of that
magazine. 1t is devoted to the journey to
the Livingstone tree. and gives the follow
ing account of this memorial of the great
missionary:
July S.-This is a red-letter day in my ca
reer. I have visited the place where DR..
Livingstones heart is buried beneath a big
tree. called mowula, and by the 1lala
mpundu. Although done twenty years ago,
the inscription is in a splendid state of
preservation. The tree shows no d!sffg-
urement. and. moreover, the carving is not
OH the bark. but on the grain Of the tree
itself. 1t is hardwood tree. three feet in
diameter at the base: at thirty feet 1t
thick mass Of foliage. When Livingstone
died. the heart and other viscera were
buried beneath this tree. and the park was
cleared of for a space of two and A half
feet square: in this space Jacob VAIN
wright (whose account my discovery veri-
fies to the letter. carved the inscription
with no ounces hand. the letters being well
shaped and bold. The tree is situated at
the edge of the grass plain, and Is very
conspicuous, being the largest tree in the
neighborhood. 1t is about five miles south
southwest from the present site Of the VII

PERILs OF AERONAUTIsM.
The Terrific Experience of the Party
in the balloon Jupftcr.


The Berlin Vossische zeitung publishes
further particulars of the wreck of the
balloon Jupiter. NJ. Boiteux. one Of the
aeronauts, says:
When We had risen 500 yards or more
we found ourselves in such thick clouds
that We could distinguish nothing. Sudden
ly the Jupiter lay on one side and the car
leaped terribly. At the same time we were
dashed by large hailstones and heavy rain.
We were driven forward with bewiidering
speed. In our fright we threw out every
thing that our hands came across The
balloon sprang upward like an arrow and

All at once We were again in complete
darkness. We were in the midst of thun-
der clouds. Again. amid hail and rain. the
wind drove the Jupiter on at a speed of
ninety miles an hour. We were blinded by
the nail and could scarcely breathe But
did not lose hope OF reaching the earth
safely. The hail and rain now began TO
be mixed with leaves and particles of
earth. The car was violently shaken. and
we fell against each other and had to
hold on to the ropes Then we began to

| ist general conference was called to or
der Saturday morning by bishop Joyce
Of Chattanooga. Secretary Monroe an
aounced the result of the third ballot

j. W. 4. Bowen, 1866; Earl Cranston, 1911 !;
j. w. Hamilton. 1873; ii. a. Buttz, 1873;
necessary to choice, $40. The ballot
showed Il gain for McCabe, Cranston
and Buttz and loss for Bowen, the
colored man, and j. w. Hamilton, the
women's champion. Another ballot
was ordered.
A telegram was received announcing
the. death of Rev. DR.. j. NJ. Reid, Of New
York, honorary corresponding secre-
taly of the Methodist Missionary So
ciety. He was formerly editor of the
Northwestern Christian Advocate. Rev.
DIR. Kynett said that he had been de-
tanned on important conference bust
ness, and he asked permission to cast
his ballot for bishops.
Rev. DR.. Buckley opposed the request.
He said that if there was anybody whom
he would be willing to grant so nn-
pnralleled a request it was DR.. Kynctt,
but he would move that DR.. Kynett
withdraw his request.
DR.. Kvnctt Hid not think his request
was without precedent, but if it was
he would gladly withdraw it. ut is

w. j. Martindale, of Kansas, introduced
IA resolution asking congress to pass a
law prohibiting the issuance of IL
censes for the sale of liquor in the state
where they have a prohibitory law.
Adopted.
The discipline was so amended that
persons who have been baptized in
infancy may be rebaptized if they de-
sire it. 1t is expected that the change
will greatly help the church.
1t is claimed that prohibition of re-
baptism in Methodism has resulted in
large numbers of converts going to the
Baptist church who would otherwise
have joined the Methodist church. The
announcement of the vote was joyfully
received by the conference.
Maj. Mckinley visited the conference.
He was received with great enthusiasm.
The conference rose to it's feet and with
much waving of handllerchiefs and loud
cheering welcomed the ex-governor.
The galleries sent down u perfect
storm of applause. Bishop Joyce intro
duced Mr.. Mckinley, and the people in
the large building fairly went wild in
their efforts to honor him.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Awful Work of the Storm-Dead BodI
Scattered Over the Country.

Awful Work of the Storm-Dead Bodies
Scattered Over the Country.
Denison, Tex, May 16.-The cyclone
which passed over Grayson and Denton
counties Friday night destroyed mill
lions of dollars worth of property, and
q conservative estimate places the num-
Der killed 200. Telegraphic commune
cation is interrupted and the extent of
the catastrophe is not fully known.
Fifty are known to have been killed in
Sherman, and dead bodies are being
brought in from the Surrounding neigh
borhood. The towns of Howe, Farm
ington and Denton We're swept by the
cyclone, and several deaths are report
ed.
At Justin IL houses are demolished
and two persons killed. The path of
the cyclone was not over $50 yards
wide. 1t Travelled at least 100 miles be-
fore it spent its force. The last work of
the storm was at Red River, where the
dwelling of John Devaut was demol-
lshed and four members of the family
fatally injured.
A dispatch just received reports that
lady named johnson was killed east
Of Hanalstyne, in this county. Every
hour increases the death roll. Special
trains are arriving in Sherman from all
sections of South Texas, and the dona-
lions are very liberal.
Singular Freak of the Storm.
It is q remarkable instance that in
every case where there were deaths, the
bodies from the houses destroyed were
NIL found $50 to 200 yards from the
building In contrary position to the
direction the storm was moving. In
most every case the bodies were found
towards the south. Telegraph poles
were torn and driven into the ground.
The very latest report from Howe is
that 12 persons were killed near there.
1t is impossible to get a correct list of
all the missing. Nearly every family in
the district has some members missing
that they cannot account for. 1t is be-
lieved that most of the missing are dead.
Accompanied by a waterspout.
A waterspout accompanied the cy-
clone and the creeks are all out of their
banks. It ia reported that several OBJ
jects, thought 10 pc human bodies, were
seen in the water, but they could not
be reached. The officers are making
every preparation possible to dredge
oil the creeks in the vicinity. The cries
and means OF the wounded were supple
mented by the agonizing shrieks OF
those who, passing from corpse to
corpse, at last found some loved one,
perhaps husband or wife, or son, OF
daughter. Pen is unable to picture the
agonizing scene.
The very latest is that the death roll
may make 500. as dead bodies are liter
ally scattered over the whole face of
the country.
