north of Marion. One of the COM
pany's heavy freight engines, draw

Hardin Rains, Of West Frankfort.
were killed. The boiler was blown 20
or 80 feet forward and above the tele-
graph wire to the edge of the right
of-way. Engineer Padgett was blown
about eighty feet high, passing above
the telegraph poles, and falling sever
al feet beyond the right-of-way. His
neck and arms were broken.
Fireman Rains was blown back into
the tender, and covered with coal,
where he was found with both arms
and legs broken. Frcm his chin down
the body was so badly scalded that
the skin slipped off in handling him.
Notwithstanding his fearful condititn
he survived about an hour, the last
half of that time conscious. His wife.
a few miles away, was sent for, reach
ing him "a short time before death. He
recognized her and passed away
The force of the explosion threw
scraps of iron a quarter of a mile
away.

UNABLE TO MAKE A VERDICT.
The Jury In the Howard Case Hope,
1essiy Hung Up-Sent Back
to Try Again.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 26.-The jury
in the Howard case reported at 5:13
O'Clock, yesterday afternoon, that the
jurors had been unable to make a ver-
dict. The jury took the case at 2: 80,
and nearly three hours were spent in
the jury room in an effort to reach an
agreement. hung jury has been
generally predicted.
Judge Cantrill did not discharge the
jury and it will report again at nine
o'clock to-day.
The argument of the case before
the jury was concluded yesterday
morning by Acting Commonwealth
Attorney Ben Williams. He presented
che evidence against Howard, and
while there was no effort at oratory,
his argument was conceded to be a
strong effort. 1t is generally believed
the jury is hopelessly hung up and
that verdict will not be found, as it
is supposed the jurors are divided on
the question as to Howards guilt or
innocence, and not as to the degree of
punishment.

HUNDRED LEADING CITIES
compilation showing the One Hun
5 dred Leading Cities of the
Country with Their Rank.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-The-T -Times-Her-
aid Washington correspondent fur
nishes the following:
The census of 1900 now shows which
are the 100 leading cities of the Unit
ed States. Appended is the list, with
their relative rank. All the figures
are official save that the population
of Memphis and Troy have not yet
been announced.
The 100 chief cities of the United
States contain 1871, $50 inhabitants,
against 13,326,349 in 1890. The in
crease is 4,2S5,171, or 32.17 per cent.
If the entire country had grown at
the same rate as the 100 chief cities
the population of the United States
would now be s2,767, 1892. As a matter
of fact it is unofficially estimated,
from census returns already in hand,
at 100000. In 1890 the 100 chief cities
contained 21.2S per cent. of the popu-
lation of the country. Now, assum-
ing the whole population to be 76, ,O00,-
900, they contain 2317 per cent.

Santa Rosa. Cal, Sept. ga forest
and grass fire which has been burn.
ing in the vicinity of Occidental the
past three days. yesterday assumed
vast proportions. The fire has cov-
cred a space of about one hundred
square miles, and is estimated TO have
done over a quarter of million dol
lars damage. Only by hard work was
the town of Occidental saved. The
fire is now travelling south, aided by
strong north wind.
The North Pacific railroads lost sew
eral miles of track in addition to two
long trestles, one 219 feet, the other
300 feet in length.
TREE county bridges are in ruins,
and about eighteen farms have been
swept clean of their buildings and
crops. The towns of Freestone. Bode-

self in relation with Ii Hung Chana
and Prince Ching has not yet gone
forward. The message practically has
been framed, but its form is subject
TO the approval of the president. Ir
view OF the talk in European capitals
of counter propositions to that made
by the United States relative to these
preliminaries, it begins to appear
that the officials here were correct In
their first estimate of the time that
be required to mark the taking of the
next step in the Chinese matter.
Called mt the state Department.
Baron Sternberg, the German
charge, was an early caller at the
state department, but he had nothing
of interest to communicate upon the
subject which is now foremost in the
department. Touching the latest re
port that Germany has it in mind to
advocate the creation of an inter.
national court for the trial of the
Chinese officials who are accused OF
responsibility Tor the FeFsn ont
RACES, il is pointed out here that SO
far from this being an alternative
proposition to the original German
plan, it might be regarded rather as
development of that proposition
meeting one of the charges of vague.
ness lodged in some quarters against
IT.
Not Advised as to Russia's Answer
The state department has not been
advised officially of the character OF
the Russian answer TO the German
proposition. 1t is gathered from the
Berlin dispatches that the Russian
note does not except to the foreign
ministers in Pekin indicating Just
who were responsible parties. But il
is pointed out, also, that the United
States note did not except specifically
TO such an indication. Our objection
was to the broad proposition to re-
quire the delivery of the culprits
over to the allies in advance of the
beginning of negotiations; not to the
plan to have the minister indicate
them.

Arthur Cummons, teacher at the
Vermilion Reservation Indian school,
came down from Tower yesterday and
gave himself up to the United States
authorities for killing a young In
dian boy named Charles Eagle, at the
school, Thursday last.
; The Indian was II years old, and
very large. while Cummons is slight
man. The young Indian was deelin-
ing to obey, and was being put in the
guardhouse. The teacher undertook
TO physically executeh his command, and
Eagle resisted violently. In the scuf-
fie Cummons used a small. four ounce
billy, which the teachers carry for
protection, and struck Eagle on the
head. The blow hit the temple and
killed him.

DALLAS IN DANGER.
The Trinity River Rising at a Rapid
Rate

Rate.
Dallas, Tex, Sept. 24.-The Trinity
river is higher tonight than il has
been since 1890, when it broke all rec
ords. The water tonight lacks only
six feet of reaching the 1890 mark,
and is still rising. Owing to heavy
rains last night and yesterday on the
Elm Fork, the West Fork and the
Clear Fork, all of them emptying into
the Trinity above Dallas, the prospect
is favorable for the stream going past
the 1890 mark some time tonight
No lives have been lost In the imme-
date vicinity of Dallas, but cotton
and live stock, notably sheep and
hogs, have suffered heavily.
The county commissioners of Dali
las estimate the loss of three county
bridges at $4,000, independent of nu-
merous small bridges and the streets
damaged in the county of Dallas.
which would be nearly as much more.
The item of damage to the roads and
bridges alone in the dozen or more
counties affected in northern Texas
will be about $250.000.
x bulletin received here this even
ing from Fowler. in Bosque county.
says: ''Brazos river out of it's banks:
higher than in IL years, and is going

SWEEPING ALL BEFORE 1T.
All Western and Northern Texas
Swept by Floods.

Houston. Tex, Sept. PA special
from Goldthwaite says there has been
no loss of life, but that the rise in
the Colorado river has swept all
bridges away and destroyed cattle and
crops. Many houses have been ,le-
stroycd and thousand families are
homeless. although they escaped to
the highlands.
A special from Llano says the LlanO
river, tributary of the Colorado, 10
II feet above normal and has done
much damage in the valleys. No loss
of life has been reported.
Reports from various points in west
ern and northern Texas are to the ef-
feet that all the small streams are
greatly swollen and are sending n
large volume of water into the larger
streams.

here notices that the most terrif,
flood in the history of the Colorado
river, which flows by this city, is now
surging down through the mountain
gorges to the northwest of here. and
Is expected at this place by midnight
The warning was sent out by Gov.
Sayers in response to the following
telegraphic warning:
"Goldthwaite, Sept "a.
ITO Gov. Sayers:
Notify all towns on Colorado river
and have towns notify country points
that river is ten feet higher than
even before known. and is still rap-
idly rising. Very urgent.
PHIL III. CLEMENTS,
state Representative"
The river has been rising rapidly
at Austin since four o'clock this after
noon and reports from Goldthwaite at
8 p. m. say that the water is still rap
idly rising there. The rise at that
point was reported to be So feet at
dark. Along the Colorado watersheds
very heavy rains have fallen during
the past four days, and the rise re-
ported coming down now is 90 feet
higher than the one that broke the
Austin dam and wrecked the city light
and power plant last April.
1t is expected that the advance of
this great rise will sweep by Austin
about midnight, and all parties in the
lowlands to the south of the city and
all points reached BY either telegraph
or telephone were communicated with

SOCIALISM.

The nomination at Indianapolis by
the Social Democratic party Of Eugene
V. Debs for the Presidency Of the Unit
ed States has called attention to that
party and its principles.
1t is generally understood that so.
cialism aims at the complete recon-
struction OF society. 10y "A moresequal
distribution OF the products OF labor
through the public ownership Of land
and capital, and the collective manage
ment OF industries But II Is not COM
monty understood that the snpposltion
that Socialism would do away with
private property, Is an error. Recent
writer's on this subject seem TO be anx-
ious to correct the impression They say
that under the new system all prop
erty for the production OF more wealth
would be common, while all non-pro-
ductlve property would remain private
True, It would be impossible for any one
to accumulate vast sums at the rate
now existing There would be no mil
llonaires, but there would be no pow
erty either the Socialists say Each
worker would retain the right OF keep
Ing and. enjoying the full value OF his
labor. That would be his private prop
erty, and he would have plenty OF it to
enjoy.
It need hardly be said that Eugene V.
Debs has not the slightest chance OF
general recognition at the polls. Yet.
Il is true that many Of the ideas advo-
Gated by Socialists are penetrating
modern society, particularly In the old
countries where the struggle for ex-
lstence vs. more keenly felt than here.

cadence OF modern Christianity. and
long for the revylcatlon Of real Chris
tlanity, that the only power by which
order can be brought out OF the chaos
existing, f. that which brought light
out OF darkness and the cosmos out OF

Christianity OF the New Testament was
God-glven. II took divine revelation

power can re-establish It. No order
Of thought proceeding from the mind
Of man can place Christianity on its
feet again, resusotated, in It's proper

That Is the wor.i OF Deity.
We are rejoiced to know that the
Christianity OF the New Testament has
been actually restored. God has spoken
again from the heavens Jesus Christ
has once more mlnlstered on earth. His
Church, with all its former PROJECTIONS

revelations OF truths adapted to the

II Is both a belief and life. It's
theology is dogmatlc because It Is d.
vine. 1t is the work OF God ana not
merely Of man. It has wlthstood the
attacks OF the professors and ministers

made upon its adherents with carnal
weapons. II is the religion OF the
future. 1t will revolutonize modern
thought. 1t will win its way In the

Christianity, and stands out In bold
relief and contrast TO the counterfeit
Christianity which so many thoughtful
minds perceive is rapidly declining.
