Tuesday the hotel which will accommo-
date patrons of Old Fortescue this sum-
mer, was placed on new foundation,
which has been erected on the site of the

Mr.. Garrison receives guests now, but

pants and shoes and Mrs. White put on
her slippers and grabbed her diamond
ring which was presented her as we'd

just as they felt the building crack and

that was to get out of the house.

Wednesday the same fair young bride
returned to her home. Returned, yes,
cold in death, with pallid cheek and silent
lip. Returned bride, but separated
forever from pain-racked husband,
who half delirious, lies tossing upon a
bed in the Missouri home. She returned
to be looked upon for the last time by
| those same legion of friends who wit
messed her marriage on the bright May
day. To be looked upon by eyes filed
with tears, to have mother, father. sisters,
gather about her form and never know
their great sorrow. Returned, to be
covered with flowers, and then to be
reverently borne away to the green
covered city of the dead, and be laid
to rest for that last sleep, from which there
| is but one awakening.
The body arrived on the AS o'clock
train, Wednesday afternoon, and was re-
ceived and cared for by Undertaken
Pierce. Arrangements were Immediately
made for the funeral services, to occur at
Commerce st. M. E. Church, Thursday
afternoon, at two o'clock.
A PIONEER representative called on
Mr.. w. A. Chandler and learned from
him the terrible story which caused the
death of Mrs. White. Mr.. Chandler told
it in feeling terms.
He and Mr.. White are very warm
friends, and he always took great inter-
est in the young minister.
when he brought his wife to Seneca"
xvhn of
her at once recognized in her social,
genial woman. The whole town liked
her, and although she was with us but
two weeks, all learned to like her,"
In describing the cloud-burst, the death
OF Mrs. White and the miraculous escape
OF Mr.. White, Mr.. Chandler says: "At
4.1O O'Clock on last Saturday morning,
the cloud-burst came on the village of
Seneca, which is 1888 miles from st. Louis,
and has population of15O0 souls. When
the cloud-burst came, most of the inhabi-
tants were asleep. The first intimation
they had Of it was loud explosion like
the report of gun powder. There had
been pivot lightning all night, and dark,
heavy clouds lowering about the sky,
with steady rain from early in the even
ing. Mr.. White told him that he had a
sort of presentiment that something was
going to happen that night.
"The couple retired at their usual hour,
but Mr.. White could not sleep properly,
and was up several times looking out of
the window at the lightning and rain. At
4.10 o'clock he heard the shooting of guns,
a signal they give there to arouse the peo-
pie when danger is at hand. The cloud
burst had come and swooped down on
Seneca ST., where the Dispatch building
stood in small, narrow ravine. The
building was two-story frame, occupied
on the first floor by the printing office,
and the second story by Mr.. and Mrs.
White, fitted up as their home.

them; driftwood was striking them. He
held his wife as high as possible, but they
were fast. The waters raised on them.
1t was then Mr.. White said "You had
better let me be here and try and save
yourself" but his wife said. mo, we will
die together" and held tightly to her
husband. The water passed over their
heads, but just at that moment big wave
came and lifted the driftwood and let
them loose. Mr.. White was then able to
get better hold of his wife, but the pains
they were suffering from the driftwood
striking them was something terrible.
They drifted down the current for over
mile. Mr.. White all the time making
an heroic effort to save his wife. His wife
said to her husband that ''The Lord has
called me and I must CO." She was
then helpless, and the experience was
terrible, Mr.. White, with firm grip ON
his wife with one arm, and with the
other trying to save her.
