THE STORY GETS WORSE
The Wreck of the Tornado Worse
 Than First Reported.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 22.- Advices from the storm-swept sections of Mis- sissippi, Arkansas and Tennessee in dicate that the loss of life end damage to property was much greater than was at first reported. Near Tunica, Miss, five negroes were killed on one plantation, and over fifty others are missing. At Hernando two men were killed. Numerous saw mills. several residences and hundreds of negro caD- ins were blown away.
 At Love Station, J. B. Dow ney, white was crushed by flying timbefs. At Guys plantation two negroes wer. killed, and at Marshalrs, three. Grange, Tenn, is completely wrecked. Two persons were kille,l outright and ! score were injured.
 The tornado seemed to have a re- valving motion and played many pranks. In one instance it demolished two churches a block apart and left the intervening buildings untouched. At Blackton, Ark, two whites were killed. In Memphis culverts were washed out and many small bridges were washed away. The lumber firms on Wolf river suffered severely. It is believed that their losses alone will foGt up S5O0,000.

THE LITTLE FAVORITE
Prospects Are Good For Big Mine
 In Paradise Valley.

The Little Favorite mine, situated on one of the most promising prospects in this county. Its discovery by Julius Goweiat was described at length in The Republican some months ago. MT. Cow ett owns a cattle range above Para dise valley and little spring of never failing water from which his cattle have quenched their thirst for years. The place is called Grapevine spring, from a grapevine that grows near the water. There are no other mines near by and the thought of searching there for hidden treasure never occurred to MT. Gowett. But last spring he acci- dentally stumbled over a rock that Seemed to be heavily mineraEZed, and a litle search brought him to the ledge. Samples were tak5n and the assays being encouraging, several claims were staked out. Among them is the Little Favorite, in which L. E. with MT. Gowett.
 They decided that the claim was worth spending a little money on and work on a tunnel was begun. About S1 ,5OO has been put into the tunnel and at the depth of 125 feet they struck tha ledge that cropped on the surface above. It is five and a half feet wide and car ries both gold and copper, the gold pre- dominating in value.
 Samples were brought in a few days ago and sent to Tucson and Denver. No returns have been received yet, but the owners say the ledge is as pretty a formation as could be desired, and if the reports from Denver and Tucson are not vastly different from what is expected, big mine will soon be opened up.

A JEROME EPISODE
In Which Grocer ies Radiated From
 a Mule.

Jerome, Ariz., Nov. 21.-(Special cor respondence of Ths Repubhcan) )-The storm still continues in this vicinity, and the indications are that there will be snow storm to wind up with. AL most two inches of rain have fallen all ready. The streets are very muddy and rubber boots are in evidence on old and young, male and female.
 Yesterday morning there, was a cir GUS on the main street of Jerome, caused by the mule ridden by Pete Windes, who delivers groceries for R. s. Sturmsr, taking it into his head that he could deliver groceries alone, better than With Pete along Accord ingly the fool animal started off on a swift trot, with the basket on each side of the horn of the saddle Hopping back and forth at a great rate. A broom that was in one basket swept the air with majestic waves, as the basket bounced from side to side. Soon there were a dozen men chasing the mule, and at every turn the Jerusalem pony made there stood a judge or a marshal ready to dispute his passageway. Soon the groceries began to fly out of the baskets and hit the ground in the deep est mud. Sugar was strewn all over the street, while the bean crop plant ed in the soft mud will enrich Jerome people next summer. A few dozen bot ties of jams and jellies soon went to the earth, while some hams and sides of bacon went to help fill up the mu l holes in the street. Pete came around

traffic was completely tied up. This morning the sun was shining bright and warm and conditions were rapidly approaching the normal in the city. The precipitation for the twenty four hours ending at am was 3.66 inches. The heaviest precipitation ever re- corded for twenty-four hours was 3.75 inches, In 1892. The total for the storm was 6.5S and for the season, 6.79, against 2.49 for the core spending pc riod last year.
 The storm was the most severe that has been ezps rienced in Los Angeles since the great deluge of 1889. When the fact of it's prevalence over the en- tire coast from British Columbia to Lower California is considered, even the oldest inhabtant has no parallel to draw. The rincipal divisions of the railway systems centering at Los An geles were completely tied up by the storm. Construction trains Were sent out on the various divisions. but no idea of their progress could be formed owing to the lack of telegraphic communica- tion. Not a wheel was turning on the Santa Fe lines and the San Pedro and Santa Monica divisions of the Southern Pacific were the only ones open to traf fic this morning.
 The street car service was entirely suspended in Los Angeles last night, the tracks being covered with mud and sand. Considerable damage to property is reported from nearby towns, but the future benefits resulting from the storm will amount to millions of dollars.

Marseilles, Nov. 22.-Today proved a triumph for MT. Kruger, such as even the Boer delegates and his most ardent admirers had failed to anticipate The enthusiasm which market every step of his progress from the time he landed until his hotel was reached was a rev elation even to the people of MarseiIles themselves.
 He announced to the world this morning that the Boers would be a frse people or die, and the faces of the men about him. Fischer, Vessels. Groebler and other Boer representatives, bore a look of fearless deite rmination, reflect ing the spirit that MT. Kruger declared animated every man, woman and child in the Transvaal.
 Throughout the evening large bands of students and other youths marched up and down in front of MT Krugers hotel cheering in chorus for Mir. Kruger and the Transvaal and denouncIng England. These deml-ns- -rators were merely noisy. and the police wisely left them to relieve their feelings by shout ing instead of interfering with them. which might have created disorder The incident was the main topic of con Versation this evening and indignation was universally and vigorously ex- pressed, but the adult better classes did not seek to magnify it's importance The mayor immediately on hearing of what had occurred issued vigorous in strudtions for the discovery and prose cution of the culprits.
 Every one expressed astonishment at the robust and healthy appearance of NIr. Kruger. considering his advanced age. He walked firmly, leaning but lightly on his cane.

WATS0N's INSANITY
He Believes God has Burdened Him
 With Mission.

A man by the name of Owen Watson was in probate court yesterday charged with insanity. There was so little ev- idence controyerting the accusation that he was promptly committed to the asylum. He was a stranger in this part of the country and had been arrested at Mesa by Constable W. A. Burton. Watson is about. twenty-eig'ht years old and he said ne was a native of IrontOn. Ohio, where he has parents, sSep- brothers and sisters and a wife. He said he had been a tramp for fifteen years and most of that time had been a drunkard, as he could prove by a thousand witnesses. He even offered to procure certificates to that effect if the court required it. About a week ago, he said. the Lord appeared to him, and since then he had led different life Now" said he, I'm for God first, last and all the time.''
 Where did you get i1?" asked Dr. Woodruff, the examining physician.
 Get what?" asked MT. Watson.
 Religion" explained Dr. Woodruff.
 None of your d-d business re- piled MT. Watson; that's a matter be- twsen me and my God"
 The inquiry was not pursued any faSther in that direction; even the doc tor admitted that information on that point would be irrelevant and imma- terial, if not incompetent 'nid you ever have any disease?' asked the doc tor.
 Yes" said Watson.
 What was it?" inquired the phy- sician.
 Sin said MT. Watson; 'fthe same as you have now, and God help you if you don't get cured as I am now.''
 In the course of the examination Watson declared that he was under the orders of the Almighty voice.
 Would you do anything the voice would tell you ito do?" he was asked
 T would" was the prompt reply.
 Suppose" continued the questioner. ''the Almighty would tell you to kill somebody; would you GO that?"
 Watson hesitated for a moment and then said God would never command me to kill anybody"
 When hs was committed he took his sentence coolly and said that it was DO doubt the will of God as well as that of the court, and when God got ready for him to leave the asylum he would go in spite of all earthly powers and courts.
 On the way to the insane hospital Watson wanted to stop and see some one for a moment. "Ohi mo, not now" said deputy Sheriff Billy Moore; ''we'H stop as we come back"
 Watson looked at him gravely. You may be misguided, young man, but [ know I'm not coming back. They're going to keep me out there. at least until God commands them to turn me loose"

A CATHOLIC COLLEGE.
The Dedication Ceremonies at Trinity
 Yesterday

Washington, Nov 22-With the ded- ication of Trinity college, a new era in Catholic education for women is begun, in that for the first time in nineteen hundred years, a university for the education of women, on an equal standard with that of men, is re- garded with approval by the Catholic church. The dedication ceremonies of the new university were held this morning in the presence of a distin- guished assemblage of dignitaries of the church from every section of the country. Robed in scarlet vestments, and attended by a score of archbish- ops, bishops and priests. Cardinal Gibbons, as president and eX-officio of the advisory board of the college, blessed and dedicated the institution. Following this, MonsignOr Martinelli, the papal ablegate. celebrated the pon- tifical mass. Addresses by several other dignitaries of the church and prominent educators, preceded Nthe preaching of the sermon by Monsignor Conaty, of the Catholic university. Cardinal Gibbons closed the exercises with congratulatory address on the eventful step which Catholic educa- ton in America has taken.
 Among those participating in the eX- ercises were Archbishop Corrigan, of New York; President Richards, of Georgetown university; Count G. de Lichtervelde, Belgian minister to the Cnited States; Bishop Mcdonnell, of Rocker
 The new college was opened to the reception of students the first of the present month, though only the main building has been completed. One hundred students are accommodated at present and the building cOmpleteu also contains quarters for the sisters and teachers. When the au::il!o-y buildings are completed there will be accommodations for about eco students
 The college is being erected under the auspices of the Sisters of Notre Dame. who have for several years past been conscientiously soliciting the aid of persons who are interested in the advancement of educational institu- | tions, and especially the higher educa- | tion of young women. The college stands on an eminence near the south ern confines of the Soldiers home. The location commands an uneXcelled view of the capital city, while in the dis tance is seen the Potomac. The site is an historic one, inasmuch as it con | tains part of what were the manor lands of Sir Dudley Diggs, a pious and devout follower of the faith, who came out with Lord Baltimore.
 On the other hand is the Soldiers
 home, and on the other side is the Catholic university, while on the south

Colorado Swept by & Damaging
 Wind Storm.

Denver Nov. 22.-It is impossible for the railroads to estimate the amount of damage suffered by reason of the wind storm which swept their lines for nearly one hundred miles along the base of the mountains yesterday and last night. Wires were blown down and trains are moved with great caution in the absence of telegraphic orders, seri- ously delaying traffic.
 Many freight cars had their roofs blown off. Station buildings were dam aged more or less all through the storm region and the tracks were strewn with wreckage, which further retarded the movement of the trains.
