ANOTHER HORROR.

Greenville, Miss, April S.-Every
day now brings some tale of woe from
the overfiowed region. Here is one the
Associated Press reporter learned this
morning which is perfectly reliable:
When the levee broke at Mound Land
ing, family consisting of mother and
six children was Overtaken by the
water and before they could reach a
place of safety four of the children
were caught by the furiOusly rushing
current and washed away almost in
the twinkling of an eye. Who these
were was not learned in the confusion
of the night.

Colony to Leave Anderson, Ind, for
the Northwest.
At a mass meeting held in Anderson,
Ind, the other day by the Dunkards of
Madison, Henry and Wayne counties
the formation of a colony was COM
rleted, the purchase money for lands
in North Dakota and money for trans
portation was deposited and the date
for leaving decided on. The colony num-
bers 100 men, 60 of whom are from the
Dunkard churches in. this county. They
will leave Anderson on the afternoon
of March 80 and on the morning of the
31st will join Dunkards from all over
the United States, who will centralize,
by colonies, in Chicago. They will go
to DEVILS Lake, N. D., from Chicago
about $500 strong, and will open their
settlement April 1. Half dozen col
onies went from the Indiana gas belt
counties last year and settled in the vi
cinity of DEVILS Lake. Many send home
discouraging reports, but those who
have been there two seasons are much
pleased. There is a national move
ment among Dunkards to colonize and
centralize at this point in hopes of
eventually becoming a strong enough
factor to influence legislation. The rules
of the colonies are all the same, the prin-
cipal one being that each person lays
aside ten per cent. of all they earn for
the purpose of supporting church, char
'ties and educational enterprises. o..

Caught in Mexico and Taken to Flori-
da via San Antonio.
The announcement exclusively made
in yesterday mornings Two Republics
that Harold A. Elmer would be turned
over to Detective n. B. Rhodes during
the day so that the latter would escort
the fOrger to Tampa, Fla, by last
evenings National express, excited
the curiosity of a number of people
who repaired to the railroad depot to
get a glimpse of the departing GRIM
inal. Both men occupied the same
seat in a secOnd-Class coach. They
were seated closely together indicat-
ing that the prisoner was handcuffed
TO the detective who has him in Gus
tody. Detective Rhodes will therefore
share the same lot with Elmer en- route
with the exception that upon reaching
San Antonio, Texas, Rhodes will juar-
ter himself in hotel for the purpose
of resting himself and place his man
in prison, until the journey is resumed
to the point of their destination. Not
withstanding the fact that the detec-
tive provided himself with transpor-
tatiOn in a first-class car he preferred
to make the journey in a second-class
coach out of respect for the lady pas
sengers as the spectacle is not pleas
ing one to look upon.-The Two Re
publics, April 4.
Elmer is wanted in Florida on a
charge of forgery.

ly this Morning.
Chattanooga, Tenn, April S.-A spe-
cial to the News from Knoxville,
says:
The most disastrous fire ever eXper-
fenced in Knoxville occurred here this
morning between and o'clock. The
entire block between Union and Res
esvOir streets, on Gay street, with the
exception of the McGhee building on
one end, the largest and handsomest
block in the city, is a mass of ruins
and the loss is estimated at nearly ST.
100000.
Several people were slightly injur-
ed the most serious being Joe McMil-
Ian who had a leg broken. The fire
was discovered about o'clock in the
wholesale grocery store of the McNul-
~ Grocery company.
Many small establishments, among
them three livery stables, near the
burned block were destroyed by the
explosion of dynamite in WOOdruff's
hardware store which shattered every
window in Gay street. A portion of
the Chattanooga fire department ar
rived at 6 o'clock and rendered valua-
BILE assistance.

VALUABLE CONTRACT sEcuREu.
Bogus "Lord Beresford" Energies
from an Atlanta Prison.

Sidney Lascelles, better known under
the name of Lord Beresford, just re-
leased from the Georgia penitentiary,
has been awarded contract for water,
light and gas in the new city of Fitz-
gerald for a term of 20 years. The new
city now has 10000 inhabitants, and
therefore the contract is one of great
value. The story of Lascelles reads
more like novel than fact.
He was man about town in London,
England, and made the acquaintance of
the Lilienthal family, of New York, to
whom he represented himself as Lord
Beresford. Accompanying them to this
country, he branched southwark and
entered into several speculations, out
of which grew great litigation, which
threw him into the penitentiary. While
he was out on bond, before trial, he
went to New York and eloped with Miss
Lilienthal, the millionaire heiress, for
whom he had come to this country. He
was arrested and brought back to
Georgia, his wife accompanying him,
and, to show her devotion, occupying
his cell with him. Upon his conviction
he was sent to the penal camp at Kra-
mer, where ne served four years, when
he was pardoned out few weeks ago
by Gov. Atkinson.
One feature of his life while under
bond, before his penal term began, was
that he opened a large business in
Rome, where he made $4,000 in cash be-
fore the state needed him. While in
prison he paid $1,000 to one of the
guards to accompany him to Americas,
where he went on q big spree, for which
the guard was dismissed and fined
$1,000, thus losing the money he had
made, and the 'Iord" went back to
serve out his term.
His first act upon securing pardon
was to go to Fitzgerald, where, it seems,
he struck for the head at once, secur-
ing contracts worth hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.

Nevada City, Cal, April S.-James
True, who is supposed to have been

The Uintah hold-up was one of the

to be but one man concerned in it,
and the train was gone through from

large, but it was positively known that
50, 400 was obtained from four pouches

mistakes, but when they do, they are
serious ones. By the action Of Judge
Smith, man charged with a serious
crime, is practically released, although
he is still held in custody.
Yesterday morning at o'clock,
Judge Smith. who was then on the
bench, sent out for the jury which had
been out all night, considering the
case of the state against Burt Albro.
tried for robbery in the first degree
They came before him, and he dis
charged them after finding that they
could not agree. The court did not
send for any of the attorneys in the
case, and the prisoner himself was not
in court. The result is, that, having
been in jeopardy once, and not being
present when the jury was discharged
Albro can not be tried again, if his at
torney chooses to make the motion for
his release to the court.
Albro was indicted for robbery in
the first degree, for having, in COM
pany with another, held up John
Sherwood, and after assaulting him
shamefully. rified his pockets, Albro
having hold of his throat while the
