reached here of the death of several ne
groes in a storm which swept over Cham

cannot be verified, as all the wires in that
direction are down. The storm here un-
rooted the carshops of the Atlanta and

panic in a negro church across the river.

spout, swept over the country about thirty
miles west of that place. and that the fami-

persons, was drowned by the sudden over
flow of a branch of the Brazos River Other
disasters are believed to have occurred in
the Panhandle. but the section is almost
without wire communication.

HoRsEwH1PEp HER HUSBAND.
Exciting Episode Between Man and
Wife in bridgeport.


Bridgeport. Conn, May s.-William H.
Siebs. lieutenant commanding the machine
gun platoon Of the Fourth Regiment, Con-
necticut National Guard. was horsewhippsd
by his wife Sunday afternoon and thrown
from their carriage.
Mr. and Mrs. Siebs' domestic troubles
became public Thursday afternoon. when
she brought suit for divorce on the ground
of intolerable cruelty. They have lived
in an aristocratic section of the city since
coming here several years ago. Mr.. Siebs
has conducted clothing store. His wife.
who is reported to be worth 100000. fur
nished the funds. They were welcomed in
society. Mrs. Siebs is noted locally for her
beauty.
Mr.. and Mrs. Siebs became reconciled
Sunday and drove to a hotel In STRAIT
ford. When at dinner Mrs. Siebs chanced
to see a newspaper containing sensation
al story OF their troubles. A war OF words
was followed by a lively bombardment.
The young soldier was made the target.
and plates and platters were showered
upon his head by his angry wife.
They entered their carriage after Chief
Wakeley, of the Stratford Fire Company.
had interferred to stop the quarrel. and
drove back to Bridgeport. Mrs. Siebs held
the relnS ana sat on the TlSnt Slue. Sne
turned into Broad Street, and, stopping.
suddenly, seized the whip and began beat
ing her husband over tho head and should
ers. shouting at the top OF her voice:
Now I'll show you" Her husband shrank
beneath, the fierce blows. shielding his face.
Mrs. Siebs hurled him out into the street.
Lieutenant Sisbs ran into bicycle store
near by. and his wife went in pursuit.
Inside she renewed the attack. belaboring
him with her lace parasol. She applied it
so vigorously that the handle broke In
pieces. and then she went at him with
clinched fists. Finally she was calmed.
and the couple went away together.
Jealousy of a pretty young woman in
spired the attack and was the original
cause Of their domestic difficulties. Both
Mr. and Mrs. Siebs were absent from the
city last night. and her attorneys declined
to discuss either the divorce case or the
incident. which has caused sensation in
society circles.
They live in a luxuriously furnished
home in Brooklawn Avenue. He is men,
ber of the Algonquin and Country Clubs
and has been prominent in military affairs
since coming here. Since the divorce pro-
ceedings were instituted the clothing store
has been conducted under Mrs. Siebs' sup
ervison.

TO HONOR THE MEMORY
OF GENERAL RE. lee
Daughters of the South Pro-
pose al Equestrian Statue.
Confederate Leaders Likeness to
Overlook the Potomac.
Prominent Women Leave for Fort
Myer Heights This Afternoon
to select a Site.

For some time past there has been
quiet movement on foot to erect some
where in the vicinity Of Washington an
equestrian statue of Gen. Robert L. Lee.
the famous leader of the CoBfederacy. The
various Southern organizations throughout
the country have been interested in The
matter. and an effort has been made sew
eral times to bring it to public atten-
tion. More important affairs have hitherto
crowded 1t out. and very little has teen
done. OF late. however. the sentiment IN
favor of the erection of the Lee Statue
has been growing. and the agitation has
reached such stage that party OF ladies
representing the Southern people in wash
ington will leave for Fort Myer Heights
this afternoon for the purpose OF selecting
a site for the statue, which will be erect
ed when funds have been raised.
The objects of the projectors of the
scheme in going to the other side of the
river for their site are many. The prin-
cipal reason is that the old Lee Mansion
at Arlington. which was seized by the
Government at the beginning of the Civil
War; is situated on the heights overlook
ing the Potomac and the people interested
in the statue project intend that the mon
ument to the memory Of the famous Con-
federate soldier shall be as near his old
home as possible. The view OF the city
from the heights is one of the most beau
tiful surrounding Washington. and the
projectors intend that the statue shall oc-
cupy an eminence that will overlook the
Capital. The beauty and grandeur OF the
Upper Potomac will be greatly enhanced,
they contend by the erection OF such
monument.
The matter is entirely in the hands OF the
ladies of the various organizations and
they want to keep 1t to themselves. They
will not object to the contribution oil FUNDS
by those outside of their organization. but
they intend that the statue shall be mon
ument to the memory of the great Confed-
crate from the women of the South. Tney
consider that, in recognition of the vaiua-
BILE services rendered the Government by
General Lee before the civil war. all SEN
tment in opposition to the building OF the
statue will be futile. They call attention
TO the fact that General Lees reputation
as a soldier in the regular army was OF
the highest order and the services render
ed the United States during the Mexican
war and the tumultous times directly fol-
lowing the acquisition of Texas, were most
valuable.
AS a soldier General Lee has been rec
ogpized throughout the world as one OF
the greatest that America has ever pro-
duced. All this. the women interested in
the erection Of the statue say entities him
to lasting monument.
The movement, while quietly conducted.
is very strong, and from present prospects
it seems almost certain that the patriotic
band of women will succeed in its en-
deaycrs. and in n short time there will
be reared on the heights overlooking the
Capital City statue to the immortal lead
er of the armies of the Confederacy.
