A COLoRED PASTOR ARRESTED.
He Is Charged With Threatening to
Exterminate His Deceased
Sweethearf's Father.

Rev. r. NJ. Holt, colored, was arrested
last night at his home in Armourdale
while engaged in uniting James Crate,
colored and aged 60 years. and Mary San
ders. white and aged 40 years. in the bonds
of wedIock. The charge upon which he
was placed under arrest was making
threats to exterminate Thomas Fleece, an
other colored man. He was taken before
of 500 for his appearance in court next
Thursday TO answer to the charge.
Rev. Holt arrived in Armourdale from
the pastorate of a church in that part Of
ATmourdale known as Seldom Seen. .
Soon afterward he became enamored OF
F'leece's daughter and asked her father
consent to their marriage. but Fleece did
not entertain an exalted opinion OF Kew
Holt. and the request was refused. This
refusal did not quench the fires OF love In
the dusky breasts of Rev. Holt and Miss
Fleece for they met upon number OF
occasions away from the girls home.
Finally the girl left home and was gone
several days before her father succeeded
in locating her. He then compelled her 20
return home She died six months ago.
Fleece attended Rev. HOlts church last
Sunday for the hrst time since Ihs 1edIn am

Ell Paso. Tex, May 25.-At 1 o'clock this
morning the fire alarm sounded to arouse
the people in the lower part of the city
and notify them that the Ievee had
broken and that the flood waters of the
Rio Grande were rushing like mad spirits
through the city. The levee which broke
was on the bank of the canal on Stanton
street The river had reached its highest
point since 1891.
In a few minutes 4 large force of men
was at work, trying 10 check the angry
waters with sacks filled with sand, but Il
second break above backed up the water
on the workmen and they had to retire.
The Texas & Pacific railway. realizing that
hundreds of families were being flooded
from their homes. backed in a large num-
Der of empty freight ears for the accom-
mediation of the homeless.
Not less than 120 homes were swept
away and tonight several men are at
work on a new levee. They threw up an
embankment on Third street TO try and
check the advance of the water. which is
running over one of the International
street railway bridges. The splash of walls
of houses as they fall is mingled with the
cries of affrighted women and children
who are driven from their homes. Peo-
pie residing in the lower part of the city
are leaving their homes and moving to
the foothills of Mount Franklin.
Several hundred families are now housed
in freight cars standing in the sea of
water. Should the improvised levee on
Stanton street break tonight the water
will flood the business portion of the city.
The ringing of the fire bell this morning
saved the lives of many people who were
asleep, ignorant of their Danger.

Mr.. Cannon responded that in his guile

the entire protective idea, but now with
the responsibility of weighing the merits
of every protective proposition he insisted
on equalizing the advantages so that the
farmer would receive a share.
The tariff bill was then laid aside for
the day.
