was killed by lightning while conduct
ing religious service at Foun ain, 10
Dewey county, Thursday night. For 3
week be had been conducting revival,
and the little church was crowded
Thursday. He gave out the hymns and
led in prayer, and then went to the BIZ
Bile and gave out his text. Then the
storm broke. He appealed to the con
gree cation to lead better lives and to feel
a spiritual calm after life OF sin, the
roughness and turbulence OF which he
compared with the violence ofthe storm
raging out Of doors.
Just then a crash of thunder came,
while brilliant flash almost blinded
those in the front pews. When they
recovered from the confusion the min
lister lay 90 the floor dead. The cou-
gregalion was in a great state Of fear,
and the men in the audience, mostly
cattlemen, feared to approach the body
for some minutes. The women scream
ed and some tainted. Mr.. Baldwin ta1
been living in the Territory several
years. He came from Illinois.

The Dreyfus Case.

Paris, May 27.-Ballot, Bsaurepre,
president of the civil chamber of the
Court of Cessation, today reported in
favor of revision OF the Dreyfus case
by a new court.martial. NJ. Ballot
Beaurpre's report is now in the hands
of N. Manau, procurator general Of the
court. 1t will be read by him ut the
public hearing of the case which begins
on Monday and will probably consume
two days. The speeches of NJ. Manau
and NJ. Mornard, counsel for Nine.
Dreyfus, will occupy the court until
Thursday evening. The court will then
deliberate and ultimate judgment is ex-
pected on Saturday. June 3.
Paris, May 27.-Several prominent
men say they do not expect that there
will be any serious disturbances as a
result OF the pro-Dreytus report of NJ.
allot-Beaurepre. 1t is known, how
ever, that several demonstrations have
been organized probably for next Sat
urday, when the courts decision will
be rendered. The government is pre-
pared TO mold the city in the iron grip
of the military police.
II is learned that n. Manau, the pro
curator general of the court of casa
ton, aud NJ. Mornard, counsel for Nine.
Dreyfus, agree with Judge Ballot Bear
epre in his report favoring revision OF
the Dreyfus case. This practically as
sures favorable decision by the court.
The decision of the court of cessation in
favor of revision OF the Dreyfus case,
was not wholly unexpected. There
have been several things recently which
bave indicated that the government was
aware that the findings OF the court
would be in favor OF Drey fus.

THE CoNEY ISLAND F1RE.-The fire

The CONEY ISLAND FIRE.-The fire
at Coney Island Friday night was
marked by many scenes. Taking ad-
vantage of the liquors from barrooms
and hotels piled about everywhere,
drunken men and women ran about
half clad, trampling over each other
their excitement and in their hurry.
5ouDrettes from the concert halls, wait.
ers, freaks and sidewalk vendors Joined
ia the mad scramble. While the fire
was at its height robbery was rampant
all over the island. IL the excitement
many men and women rushed from
their houses, leaving much that was
valuable behind them, and the thugs
and thieves that invest the Island,
with good field for plunder, and
the policeman using every effort to
save life, were bold TO an extreme. A
most exciting incident Of the fire was
the closeness which the flames approac.
ned the scenic show, Asia" where
three fierce lions rosred as the coDfa-
gration7grew. All Coney Island shud.
dered. But Asia" wasn't burned, and
the lions didn't escape, though they
were greatly excited. Several thrilling
rescues added to the exciting features
of the day. That the fire started in two
places almost simultaneously indicated
that it Was OF incendlary origin. More
than 40 explosions marked the blaze.
Drug stores which had explosives in
their stock helped along the copfagra-
ton. Gas meters also blew up, aud
the escaping gas spread the flames.

The Hague, May Pit is related
how the English and Russian delegates

NJ. De Staal and Sir Julian Pauncefote

edge of the language, event hat of Hon.

IT SEEMS that the Southern Presby

disregardful OF the feelings of the WON

people are, as it has adopted res.
olution declaring against the exaction

them, without due process OF law"
When Southern men deliberately pass
such resolutions, that those OF the
North do likewise, is not remark
able. Indeed, the Northern preach
or who, in the North, recently said
he couldn't say that if his wife or
daughter were the victim of such a
crime, he would not take part in
lynching, has more respect for South

next to an outrage, would be the sub

general rejoicing over the recovery Of
the lead OF the Virgin of FL Cobre and
nearly all of the missing jewels and

a part Of the jewels were found in
Santiago and the head ofthe Virgin was
found on rubbish heap 10 Ell Cobre.
The archbishop and sey eral priests ex.
amined the jewels and found only few
missing. There will be special mass
of thanksgiving on Sunday in the cathe.
drial at Santiago and in the church at
Ell Cobre.
The local police made an unsuccess-
ful search fo- the valuables, trying to
make political scandal, and accusing
Guitterez, who is Spanlard, of being
the instigator of the robbery. They
placed every possible obstacle in the
way OF the seach.
The Virgin will be returned to the
shrine today. A large number
people are preparing to visit Ell Cobre

county Jail at Fairburn, Ca, charged
with peculiar offence. For some time
many negroes in the lower part of the
county have been receiving anonymous
letters to leave and have left, usually
abandoning their homes, crops. live
stock, and even their families. These
notices were written 10 fairly good
hand and threatened the negroes with
dire vengeance if the warning should
not be needed. The negroes naturally
supposed that these warnings cspe
from white people who were hostile to
them, although frequently assured Of
protection by their employers. Among
those who received notice to leave
was the father of Clsud Bryant. He
Sss told if he did not leave at once he
would shage the same fate as Sam Hose.
About this time the boy was detected
in the act of lacking up ene Of these
warnings and upon being questioned
