spent for their comfort and happiness
A loving wife and devoted mother. her
home was filed with the rosy hues of
joy and happiness that made it attrac-
tive to old and young alike. Although
naturally OF reticent disposition, the
sweetness OF her utter uns7hshness
drew all who knew her toward her, and
held them firmly in the golden ties OF
friendship and affection. At the age of
10 years, while enjoying all the pleasures
OF young womanhOod, she united with
the Methodist Episcopal chdrcn. and rs-
NAMED a consistent and conscientious
member thereof until called 10 the great
church on high 10 receive the award
that awaits the faithful. Her early
church work was devoted 10 building up
financially the church 20 which she be-
lOnged, and for years her labors were
unceasing in that direction. Later as
the cares OF her home and family became
more onerous and exacting she was re-
quired to refrain from 50 much actual
work in the church, but her Christian
character enabled her to do a great and
lasting work for the Master. For a lit
tie more than three years she has been
resident OF Wichita and in that COM
paratiyely short time she has drawn 10
her large circle Of neighbors and
friends. who today vie with each other
in bearing testimony 10 the beauty and
purity of her life, as wife. mother,
neighbor and friend, and whose hearts
bleed in tender sympathy for the hus-
band and daughter and son. to whom
no greater sorrow can come.
Mrs. Girty is dead but the influence
Of her pure Christian life remains 70

4 result of several cloudbursts In this sec
ION Thursday.
The most disastrous was near the village
Of De Haven, on the Pittsburg and Western
Railroad. eleven miles from Allegheny. The
storm came 30 suddenly that residents were
not alarmed until 1t broke In all its fury and
carried the houses from their foundations.
The burst occurred right at the junction OF
Laurel Head and Pine Greek, where the
houses Of Mrs. Auld and James Robinson
we're situated. Mrs. Auld's house was
moved some distance, but the unfortunate
woman was carried out into the raging
stream and drowned.
Robinson's house was carried down the
stream. In 1t were Robinson, his wife,
nother-in-law and two children-a boy OF
eight and q girl Of five. Robinson saved
himself and his two children by jumping
toward the bank Of the stream after the
house had started to ioat, carrying with
him the two children. Just as he struck the
bank the girl dropped from mis- arms. She
was picked up alive, however, at the bridge,
about fifty yards down stream.

Reached Havana.
The missing passenger train which left
Consolation del Sur, Pinar del Rio Prov
ince, Cuba, for Havana, proves to have been
dynamited and burned by insurgents be-
tween Tace Taco and Bacunagua.
The train was provided with strong mil
itary escort, travelling IN armored cars. Its
long delay caused heavy detachment OF
troops to be sent to find it. The troops have
returned, bringing the passengers, sale ana
sound. aud score OF Spanish soldiers OF the
escort, wounded IN defending the train.
At a point between the two towns named
the train had been compelled to slow up on
account OF an obstruction. AS it did SO
smart rifle fire was opened from both sldes
of the road, while insurgents tore up the
rails behind the train. The military escort
returned the insurgents fire and kept it up
at intervals for three days before being re-
lieved.
Six soldiers OF the escort are admitted to
have been killed and one lieutenant and
twenty-one soldiers were taken TO Havana
wounded. Tre lieutenant is expected to die.
The general situation in Cuba is about the
