Hugh S..IeWars.

DIED-In Van Buren, on the night of

the war Mr.. Levers was in the Con-
federate army, with Col. Writ Adams
regiment of cavalry, and was made
Lieutenant Colonel, which position he
held till the close of the war.
Mr.. Levers came to Crawford county
In 1881, settling at Alma, where he en-
gagged In farming During Cleveland 8
hrst administration he was appointed
postmaster at that place. Six years ago
Mr.. Levers moved to Van Buren,, hav-
ing been elected circuit clerk of the
county. AT the expiration of his first
term he was reelected to the office, and,
since his retirement, has continued to
make his home at Van Buren,.
AT the last election he was elected
alderman for the first ward and selected
by the council for the position of street
commissioner. Mr.. Levers was great
ly respected by all our people and he
could count as his friends everyone who
had made his acquaintance.
Mr.. Levers leaves wife and one
son. He was member of the Presby-
terrain Church and also a member of the
Masonic and K. of P. fraternities,
number of whom attended the interment

CONVENTION POSTPONED.
The Carriage Builders Association
Will Not Meet.

Wilmington, Del, Oct. 2.-Announce-
ment was made on Saturday last under
a st. Louis date that there was a posi-
bility Of a postponement of the national
convention of carriage builders. which
was to have been held in that city dur
ing h second week OF October. AS a
sequel to this nnouncement the follow
ing statement has today been issued by
Henry c. McLear Of this city, secretary
and treasurer OF the Carriage Builders
National association:
The executive committee, after full
consideration. with the consent OF our
members and their local committee in
st. Louis, Mo, and at the request of
many of our members throughout the
country have postponed the convention
OF this association, which had been
called for October -. IL and Is OF this
year until 1897. Therefore there will be
nc convention this year. The reason
why the committee has taken this ac-
ton, besides the requests of the mem
bers who have always attended the con-
~vention, many of whom have been an
nual exhibitors, are that the extreme
business depression, coupled with the
exciting national election, renders II
very doubtful IL enough Of our men,
bers could or would attend the meeting
TO make II successful; and in justice 10
the city wherein the convention was to
be held, they considered 1t best TO post

was widespread destruction in the path
OF the storm. 1t is impossible yet To
learn how many persons were killed.
but ii il believed the dead will be fully
100 and that many others were injured.
Much damage Is reported at Jackson
Vile, but no loss of life. as the center OF
the storm seems TO have passed to the
north of that city. The storm was not
felt here. but after II left the gulf Mon
day night a high bank of air rushed in
from the north, blowing almost a gale
and lowering the temperature about %
degrees.
Later reports received show that the
storm was a twisting tornado that
moved with great velocity from the gulf
TO the Atlantic coast. In many places
buildings were wrecked in less han a
minute. and soon afterwards the sun
was shining brightly. The loss Of prop

divulged the object Of the much dis

1t was generally understood that Pre-

ing with Able Proult, whereby the lat
ter was to make such representation to
the vatican as would lead to the Quebec
hierarchy being compelled to keep out
of dominion politics. The ruth Is that
through Able Proult Mr.. Laurier has
asked that a papal ALLOCATE be appoint

the vice regent of his holiness In his
country and superior in rank to the car.

known, will be met with the strongest
disapproval OF the Quebec hierarchy.

IL generally expected that trouble be-

openly predict that hostilities may be

observers profess to see In recent move

country will become involved In the con-
troversy. The resolutions In congress
favoring the Armenians are pointed to
a. bearing out this supposition. This
state and navy departments maintain
their accustomed reticence. but the fact
that there has been a sharp advance In
the wheat market gives color to the be-
lief that the rumors Of possible war are
well grounded.
