Young as secretary. A committee con-
sisting Of H. D. Wilson, H. P. Nc

DROPPED DEAD At THE ALTAR,
While Repeating the Last Words Of Bis
Dead Son.

With his hands appraised to Heaven
and repeating the last words Of his son,
John, who died years ago, G. J. Cut.
Ter, aged SO, dropped dead across the
altar Of the Full Full Gospel Mission,
at st. Louis Friday evening. Mr.. Gut
ler's death was dramatic as it was sud.
den. The congregation had just fin.
ished singing the hymn, "Nearer My
Home Today" when Mr.. Cutler rose
to address them. He read short
chapter from the Bible and then start
ed to tell Of the death Of his son. He
had reached the death-bed scene and
was repeating the last words of his son.
The silence was oppressive as he utter.
ed the words, "Papa, give me life, :"
and fell with extended arms across the
altar, as if reaching out to his son gone
before. The congregation rushed to
the old mans side, but he only gasped
once or twice and lay still. Another
incident which adds interest to the
death, is the fact that Blanche Cutler,
aged IS, daughter Of the deceased,
eloped to Alton, Ill Thursday, against
her fathers wishes and married Char
les Spier. The couple were forgiven
by Mr.. Cutler few hours before his
death,

This coal, though Of low quality,

deposits near the gold fields and those

Lynched by a Midnight Mob.

Saturday morning, about o'clock, a
negro named William Bell, was taken
from his home, which is perhaps ten
miles northeast of Amite City, his
hands tied behind his back, conveyed
mile or two from his home, on the
public road, and hung him to a small
tree, then fred volley of shots at the
body. Why Bell was killed will prob.
ably ever remain mystery. He had
the reputation of being good negro.
Under his right hand suspender was
an ordinary piece Of writing paper,
which bore the following inscription,
written with lead pencil, in very
bad hand: "The Cotton murder re.
venged. This is Bells gun, April, 2,
49," From this crude inscription it
would appear that the lynchers sought
to connect Bell with the butchery Of
the Cotton family, which occurred in
the fall Of 1896. In this they deceived

DISASTROUS CREVASSE.
OVER FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE RE,
PORTED DROWNED.
The Ohio River Breaks Out Its Banks and
Causes Much Loss to Lifo and Property
.--Shawneeto.vn Almost Destroyed Rail-
way and Telegraphic News Shut of.

At 6 o'clock Monday afternoon the
tevee at Shawnee, ILL.,, broke o mile
above the town and it is learned that q
great part Of the place has been de-
stroyed, and that, perhaps, large
number Of citizens have been drowned.
Shawneetown is seventy-fve miles
below Evansville on the Ohio river.
1t is situated in q valley Of extremely
low land. with hills skirting it in the
rear and with % foot levee in front
running from hill to hill. The town
is very much in the position Of d forti-
fled city, and when the levee gave way
mile above town under the pressure
Of the very high river the water shot
through 20-foot opening and struck
the place like a hurricane, sweeping
everything before it. Houses were
turned and tossed about like boxse.
The people were not warned of the
break and for that reason so many
were caught. Those at home sought
refuge in second stories and on house
tops. Those in the streets were car
ried before the avalanche of water and
probably q majority were drowned.
Citizens came from the place in
skiffs to a telephone several miles
away, and asked for cid from Evans
vile. They said that more than 500
people were drowned, and that they
had reason to believe it would reach
even 1000. The water stands at twenty
to thirty feet all over the towns. There
are of course no fire or lights in the
place, and total darkness envelopes the
desolate scene. Consequently it was
impossible for them to have any thing
like definite information. The men
quickly left the telephone and no com
munication has since been had with the
place. All telephone and telegraph
wires are now down, and outside com.
munication appears to be impossible.

fagratiOn,

Vicksburg is Visited by n Disastrous Con
Migration.
At midnight Monday dense smoke
was seen issuing from the Pitts drug
store on the ground floor of the corner
store in the opera house buildings in
Vicksburg, Miss, and some young
men attempted to enter the place
The smoke drove them back, when the
door was broken open, and general
alarm was sent in, to which the entire
department promptly responded.
Owing to the progress of the fire and
the difficulty Of reaching it, the
conclusion Was unanimous that
the building was doomed. Hundreds
OF citizens crowded to the seen
and watched with eager eyes and hop
ing hearts. The firemen made q not
BILE fight, but as all their work muse
Of necessity be on the streets, every
energy was bent to confne the
flames within the walls. Close at
hand stood the pastoral residence
end right next to it St. Paul's Catho-
lie church, the distance from the
burning building being not more than
thirty feet from the home of the
priests. By directing the streams of
water on the rear these edifces were
saved, and by constant pour through
the windows on the side and front the
adjoining buildings on the north es-
capped. Fortunately the walls held to-
gether but the opera-house, into which
the fire had crept, soon burst forth in
flames. The stage, with it's infamma-
bic furnishings, was soon consumed,
and in m hour and half nothing re-
NAMED Of two of the largest buildings
in the city but the bare walls and
blackened ruins Of Vicksburg's only
opera-house. The following business
places and Offices burned: Piazza Or
