MUCH RUIN BY STORM
Damage Estimated at $4,000, 900 h
suit from Southern Floods.
Twenty-Five Lives Reported Lost--
Easter Services In Pennsylvanis
Churches MARRIED by Tornadoes
Two Killed, Many Hurt.

Nashville, Tenn, March 31.-Reports
from the flooded districts of Tennessee
emphasize the gravity Of the situation.
The damage resulting, it is believed,
will reach 100000, while 20 lives are
known to be lost. Several counties GER
tain 70 have suffered heavily are yet
cut of from communication, and the
loss in property and life may go higher
than these figures. The Louisville &
Nashville railroad is running a few
trains from here to Lynnville, 10 miles
south of Columbia, while the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis has only sue
ceeded in getting through to Murfrees-
boro. Neither line can resume regular
traffic before Tuesday. At Pulaski IL
lives were lost; at McMinnville, 5; at
Lewisburg, 8; at Hartman, 2; at MUIR
freesboro, 1.
Crops Destroyed.
The section visited by the food en-
braces one of the richest portions Of
the state and damage to farm lands is
a serious item. 1t includes counties ly-
ing between the mountains on the east
and the Tennessee river on the west
and between the Cumberland river and
the Alabama line. Stone fences that
have stood the storms Of 40 years were
washed away in many of the we'll
known riverside farms of Lincoln coun-
ty and crops destroyed. Thousands Of
logs are reported adrift in the upper
Cumberland. The bridge Of the Nash
vile & Knoxville railroad at Lancas-
ter, 300-foot span, said to have cost
100000, went down Saturday night. Il
was predicted at Carthage that the
Cumberland would go beyond the food
tide of 1852. If such be the case the
work of destruction is not yet over.
There is no communication with Lin
den. in Perry county, or with Lynch
burg, in Moore, but both sections are
believed to be seriously damaged.
The loss by the food which swept
Emory valley Saturday may reach
nearly $1,000,O00 in Roane and Nor
gan counties when the full story is
known. At Hartman the loss will
be between $55,000 and $125.00O. At
Oakdale the loss is not more than
$4,000. but il is on the farms along
the Emory river where the greatest
damage, it is feared, has been done.

Cecil Rhodes' Wealth.
London, March 29.-The Daily Mail
is authority for the statement that
the colossal fortune of the late Cecil
Rhodes was by him bequeathed to
the British empire for a vast imperial
scheme of education. The will is in
London and will be opened in few
days. The extent of the wealth left
by the dead empire builder is rough
ly estimated at $6O,o00,000, although
some place the amount at a higher
figure.
Brief sketch of His Career.
Rt. Hon. Cecil John Rhodes was born In
1883. His father was Rev. Francis w.
Rhodes. vicar OF Bishop Stortford. Young
Rhodes entered Oriel college, oxford, in
20 South Africa. oscillating between the
two countries until 1851. when he took his
degree.
In South Africa Rhodes soon made his
mark 1t IS said that he was the only man
President Kruger really feared. Mr..
Rhodes greatness was Of the supreme type.
II has left its mark on the world. The
British owe it to the diamond king that the
vast territory known as British Bechuana-
land belongs to their empire and not to the
Beers. whom Rhodes anticipated In OBJ
tanning possession Of that state.
Mr.. Rhodes was deputy commissioner OF
Bechuanaland; managing director OF the
British South Africa company; chair
man Of the De Beers mines; premier OF
Cape Colony and minister Of native affairs.
During the Matabele war Mr.. Rhodes did
good service and brought the campaign to
a conclusion by riding alone and unarmed
into the camp of the hostile tribe and per-
suading the chiefs to surrender.
The great failure In Rhodes career and
the great blot on his fame was In the
Jameson raid. Rhodes ASSUMED full re-
sponsibiitv for this wretched fasco, which
had the effect of making the Beers re-
double their efforts to fill their country
with arms and ornaments, with the mar
velous success the present war has demon
strated.
Mr.. Rhodes had many Individual tastes.
He knew Gibbons Decline and Fall Of the
Roman Empire" almost by heart. Head
mired Froude and Carlyle as authors; col
lected old furniture, china and old Dutch
curios and paintings. He was devoted to
gardening and did much for agriculture
and viticulture in South Africa. He kept
a menagerie on Table mountain. The en-
pire builder was a woman-hater and was
In the habit Of saying that his sister. who
kept his house for him. was the only woman
he loved.

AN EASTER ENcYcLlcAL.
Remarkable Letter Sent Out by Pope
Leo Aged PontiG Points
Dat Many Dangers.

Rome, March 31.-The most remark.
able message ever issued by a pontifI
to his people is the Easter encyclical
of Pope Leo XIII, published in his holi.
ness official organ.
The pope, realizing that his days on
earth are numbered, states the fact
that this encyclical will perhaps be his
Anal word of advice to the clergy and
members of the Roman Catholic
church. The holy father therefore
states that the message may be con-
sidered as his testament to the people.
A union of all Christian churches to
oppose the attacks of atheists is urged
and cooperation of other religions than
the Roman faith to save society is inn
pressed upon all believers in God.
That the world is passing through q
perilous time is insisted by the pontiff,
who desires that this encyclical-prac.
tically his dying words-will by it's
warning arouse all Christendom to a
sense of the danger that confrontsit.
The growth of divorce and the re-
sultant easy loosening of the marriage
ties Is condemned. The liberty and
disorder in social relations are said to
be making people drift farther from
God.
Wars and great ornaments are held
to have tendency to make the poorer
fear oppression, and anarchy and So
cialism are results, until now organized
bands seek the lives Of all rulers.
The pope says he would encourage
the Catholic bishops throughout the
world to continue vigorously to resist
the prosecutions which now afflict the
church. These prosecutions would con-
tinue. but they would not affect the
spread Of the light amongst infidels.
His holiness views with alarm and
sorrow the conditions now extant and
declares:
Never has humanity found itself in
more miserable conditions than at
present.
There is disorder in all social rela-
tions, and especially in family rela-
tions.
Excessive liberty has been created,
which has fostered socialism and an
archism.
Unjust wars are being waged by
strong nations against weak and feeble
peoples.
There are exaggerated ornaments
amongst great nations. the effect of
which is even more disastrous than
war.
All these things have created world
wide disquietude.
Unceasing troubles and misery have
provoked the people to anarchism,
which henceforth promises to consti.

SERVICES BROKEN UP.
Roof Of Church I'm Pittsburg Blown
On-Many Persons Injured.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 31.-One Of
the fiercest windstorms ever known
in this section struck the city Sum
day just before noon, and did meal
culable damage to property and in
jured many people, some of whom
may die from the effects of their
wounds. Scores of houses were UNI
rooted, many trees were blown down,
mill stacks toppled over and tele-
graph and telephone wires generally
disabled. The most serious accident
reported was the unroofing of the
Knoxville Presbyterian church, in
Knoxville. The church at the time
was filled with an Easter congrega-
ton numbering about 600 persons.
While the minister was in the midst
of his sermon, particularly strong
gust of wind blew over the large
chimney and lifted portion of the
roof of the building. The bricks
from the chimney crashed through
the roof and carried huge piece of
the hard wood ceiling, measuring 40
x2O feet down upon the worshipers
in the pews. An indescribable panic
ensued, and a frantic rush was
made for the doors and windows.
The excitement was soon quoted and
the work of rescue begun. At least
40 persons were caught by the
wreckage, and more or less hurt. OF
this number five may not recover.
Lightning Strikes Church.
AS Rev. j. w. English, pastor Of the
Robinson Run United Presbyterian
church near Mcdonald, was raising his
arms to pronounce the benediction
lightning struck the church spire and
it toppled upon the roof, crushing it
and injuring a number of worshipers,
two of whom will die. The Noblestown
Presbyterian church was also I'M
rooted, but the congregation escaped
injury.
Almost the entire east end district
Of this city was in darkness Sunday
night, the electric lighting system hav-
ing been put out of commission by the
storm. The downtown portions were
repaired early in the afternoon.
Two Killed, Four Injured.
The historic Franklin Methodist
Episcopal church, four miles east OF
Wellsburg, w. Va, is in ruins, its
venerable pastor is seriously injured,
two members of his congregation are
dead, and three others are fatally
hurt. Rev. Mr.. Allshouse had reached
the peroration in his sermon on the
resurrection when suddenly the gable
end of the church was blown in. The
falling timbers and debris struck
him and fell all about him. The con-
gregation was panic stricken. Many
had reached the outside and others
were yet in the edifice when the roof
fell.
Greenville, Pa, March 31.-The Eas-
ter services being held in the United
Presbyterian church at jamestown.
this county, six miles north of here,
came to an abrupt ending Sunday. A
tornado struck the church with ter
rifle crash and part Of the south end OF
the church was crushed in, burying the
minister, Rev. Jameson, beneath bricks
and timbers. The men of the congre-
CATION rushed to the pulpit and when
the stricken minister was removed
from the debris 1t was found that he
had received fatal injuries. His jaw
was broken and the temporal bone was
