SLOAN SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 25.-Mrs.
Benjamin Sapp, the young wife of
Shoemaker Sapp, created a sensation
here by severely flashing Cashier r. 5.
Morris of the Bank of Sloan, with a
cOwhide. The shoe shop adjoining the
bank was the scene of the episode.
Morris had been invited there by the
woman's husband, supposedly on bus
iness, and had scarcely entered when
Mrs. Sapp darted at him, repeatedly
wrapping a rawhide, which she held
concealed by her side, around the
bankers neck and shoulders. She
was excited and struck wildly, hitting
an innocent by-stander a couple of
hard raps. Morris is married and
wealthy.
Mrs Sapp claimed Morris insulted
her, but this is denied. 1t is under.
stood that Mrs. Sapp signed a state
ment completely exonerating Cashier
Morris of any act of indiscretion what
ever, outside of a few harsh words in
a business way.

In 1s9O-o1 F. B. Lloyd was elected to
the Legislature from Montgomery coun-
ty and served with distinguished abil-
ity.
During the fall of 1892 he made a tour
of Texas and other states, lecturing in
the interest of his Rufus Sanders"
papers. A second tour was made some
months later.
He lived in Elmore, Antanga county,
Ala. in 1898. and the following year
moved to Butler county, bought a farm,
built a pretty and substantial home
and proposed 10 live in quiet and retire
ment and give all his energies to his
life work.
Last year. at the earnest solicitation
of his friends. he consented to again en-
ter public life, and became a candidate
for the legislature. Throwing all his
energy into the contest, he was elected.

This position he was occupying at
the time of his death, and with his
hosts of friends was looking forward
with almost absolute certainty to re-
ceiving the nomination for next secre-
tary of state.
In many cases Francis Barlow
Lloyd was a most remarkable man.
Bright. genial, gifted. he possessed
all the elements necessary to achieve
still further popularity, influence and
success.
A self-made man, he was also a grow

the same time of humor, pathos, wit,
wisdom. satire. philosophy. suavity,
magnaminity. benevolence. philan-
throphy. goodness-in a word, all the
grand elements. al! the grand principles
that go to make up a full type of noble
manhood.
Though conspicuously modest he yet
possessed enough of that laudable am
bition and fixed resolution to push him
to the front, as it were, without al in
dividual effort. All the time as the
years passed on he was moving onward
and upward. Too grand to bend. too
true to dissimulate, too noble to stoop.

The train consisted of the engine, a

THE ARMY.
Report of COmmissnry General Sulli-
van for the Past Year.
c. C.

n hoE RhC u CHE
Gen. Thomas C. Sullivan. commits
sary general of subsistence. has made
his annual report of the opera
tons of that department to the secre-
tary of war. The total for
the last fiscal year were So, 79s, 1854, of
which there was a total unexpended
balance at the close of the year of $685.
545. The total cost of subsisting the
army during the year was S1,972, 700.
The sum of S75,SS1 was expended for the
relief of the sufferers from overflow of
the Mississippi and its tributaries and
the Red River of the North, under spe-
cial act of congress. Of the total appro-
priations on that account there is Il bal
ance on hand of S2O.639.
Gen. Sullivan says that an expert
mental trial of the emergency ration
was undertaken by troop E. First caval-
ry. at Fort Sill. o. T.. upon a 12-days'
practice march in May. 1897.
This march was made the occasion for
the first practical test of the emergency
ration. For the first two days the men
were subsisted on the full field ration
and for the remaining ten days officers
and men came down to the half-allow-
ance emergency ration prescribed by
general order No. 40. The march was
generally across country, off wagon
roads, and the average number of miles
covered per day in the ten days test was
81. The weather up to the last two
days of the march was exceptionally
fine, and then heavy and almost con-
t~inuous rains set in.
Gen. Sullivan says: THE test was
made under conditions in which the
men were not affected by the excite
ments. anxieties and fatigues attend
ant upon dangerous proximity to or ac-
tual conflict with an enemy. AS a test
under the conditions given. the results
seem to go a long way toward establish
ing the efficiency of the emergency ra-
ton as a means of sustaining the mus
cular power and activity of men under
prolonged physical strain; but its full
efficiency needs yet to be tested by men
situated in or moving in a more critical
environment"

that of similar losses in the previous
year.
Supplies lost during the year for
which responsibility was fixed amount
ed to S263.95. of which S233.91 has been
collected. leaving still to be collected
$1,000. Above shows a very large de-
crease from losses of like character for
a number of years, except in 1895. when
like losses amounted to but S1S3.5S.
During the year $s.44s was expended
on account of the Apache Indian pris-
oners at Fort Sill, o. T.. and $500 for the
deportation of the British Cree Indians
and their delivery to the Canadian au-
thorities. Gen. Sullivan urgently rec

Snow and Sleet and Freezing
Blasts in the West
Great Damage Wrought Mt Denver-Ons
Thousand Poles and -Four Thouand
Miles of Wire Go Down Under
the Weight of Sleet.

DENVER, Col, Oct. 26.-Aside from
The tremendous inconvenience caused
TO the public and to private interests,
the storm Of last night and to-day has
wrought an intrinsic damage in the
city of Denver and its suburbs that is
co~nservatively estimated to be in ex-
cess of 500, 900. OF course, should the
storm continue several days, the
amount will multiply many times.
The estimate of damage includes only
the semi-public concerns, such as the
electric light, telegraph, telephone and
street a companies. 1t is to the
wires and poles that the greatest harm
has been done. Electrician Stearns
said this afternoon that probably 1000
poles were down in Denver alone and
upwards of 4, 900 miles of wires.
General Manager Field of the Colo
RADIO Telephone 20. estimated the pres
ent damage to its system at $50, 600.
1t would be greater, he said, but for
the fact that in the central portion OF
the city the company has recently
placed many of its wires underground.
With the exception of the Rock Is
land, the Kansas Pacific, the Colorado
Central and the Julesburg & South
Park branches of the Gulf road, rail-
roads leading into Denver have been
completely blocked all day. Snow
plowS have been brought into active
service on all lines, but the tracks be-
came covered with snow again soon
after they were cleaned.
The storm was most severe and the
greatest trouble was experienced by
the railroads between Denver and
Pueblo.
All freight trains have been annulled
to enable the roads to handle passen.
gers without any more delay than is
absolutely necessary.
Railroad reports show that the storm
was general throughout the eastern
half and a section of the northern
part of this state, the southern part
of Wyoming, the northeastern part of
Utah and the western halves of Ne
braska and Kansas.
A message from Colorado Springs
stated that the snow and sleet were
blowing so furiously there that it was
impossible to see across the street.
Leadville had a slight snowfall last
night, but non to-day.
The storm came SO suddenly that
ranchmen did not have an opportunity
to shelter their stock, but the fall in
temperature is not considered by ex-
perts great enough to endanger the
lives of cattle.
The city is in darkness tonight, as
the mayor compelled the electric light
company to cut off all its circuits on
account of their dangerous condition.
