saving crew from that port who had
tried several times during the night

According to Burlxe's story, when
the boat seemed hopelessly in the
power of the fearful storm, the party
got into the rigging, the captain, his
wife and Morris on the lee side of the
boat. The boat soon filled with wa
ter and fell over onto the lee side,
throwing the three persons into tho
water and drowning them almost i'm
mediately.
Burke retained his position in the
rigging, having fallen asleep from
exhaustion, and was thus found by

Evidence Against Anna Rogers.

The application for reduced bond for
Anna Rogers, arrested at Nashville
with many of the stolen Bank of Mon
tana bills on her person, was tried a
few days ago, when Lowell Spencer, a
P1nkerton man from Cininnati, who
has been working on the Great North
ern robbery case at Wagner, Mont,
turned up with a picture of the Rogers
woman taken with George Parker, al
legged to have been the ringleader of
the gang Of bandits. The hand of the
woman is on Parker's shoulder. The
testimony connects the woman directly
with the gang of outlaws, though she
will attempt to show how she came
by the stolen money innocentIy. Ex-
press Messenger Smith, whose cars
were robbed by the bandits, came all
the way from Montana to testify.

Sixty Students Dismissed.

The executive board of the South
western Baptist University, in Jack
son, dismissed from the institution
sixty-one Of the students. 1t seems
that some time ago Prof. Bray had a
difficulty with the fireman, Steed King,
and demanded that the board have him
publicly apologize or dismiss him.
They declined and Prof Bray left his
classes and the matter was taken up
by the students. They demanded
Kings dismissal from the service of
the institution and made some very
strong protests as to the action of the
board. After duly considering the
matter the board decided that in order
to maintain the authority and dignity
of the school, it would be necessary
to dismiss these pupils who took part
in the matter.

State. Both the greatest percentage of
increase, 95.2, and the greatest abso-
lutte increase, S35, ,280, 400, in the value
of products, are shown for the decade
ending with 1900. There was an abb
solute increase of nearly as much
$35, ,OS2, 593. The manufactures of Ten
nessee are based largely upon natural
resources. Since 1880 the increase in
the more important manufactures has
been marked. Mineral deposits-in-
Guiding iron and copper ores and coal
largely neglected until within the
last twenty-five years, are the chief
causes of this growth. Fields of coal
of excellent coking quality underlie
5,1OO square miles of the State, and
the production in 1899 amounted to
$3,330,650 short tons, or nearly twice
the production of 1889. In 1899 Ten

Memphis PresbYtery.

The Presbytery of Memphis met at
Covington last week. The narration
of the state of religion throughout the
Presbytery evoked much interest.
Foreign missions were considered and
several addresses were made. Colored
evangelization was brought up through
report of Rev. w. w. Akers. 1t
shows the Presbytery is maintaining
an evangelist among colored people
and has a neat church building in
Memphis. The cause of ministerial re-
lief was warmly discussed. The OBJ
ject of this cause is to make ample
provision for aged, infirm and needy
ministers and the families of deceased
ministers. The business is now getting
fairly before the court and other great
interests of the Presbyterian church
will be considered, among these being
education for the ministry and home
missions.

business in the State without license.
Attorneys of the company sought an
injunction restraining the commission
er from interfering with their busi-
ness. Later they endeavored to show
that Folk had been guilty of contempt
of court in writing letters against the
company while the injunction proceed
ing was pending. The matter came up
before Chancellor Cook at Nashville,
and upon the statement Of facts the
contempt proceeding was withdrawn.
Then, after argument, the chancellor
dissolved the Injunction, holding that
the commissioner had authority to
prevent the company from operating
in the State. Then the commissioner
swore out the Smith warrants. The
company was denied relicense on ac-
count of it's financial condition, not
coming up to requirements under the

Mysterious Disappearance.

The strange disappearance Of B. H.
Christie, former resident of Hum
boldt, but late of Jackson, is still a
mystery. His relatives have heard
nothing of him since he boarded the
train at Jackson on the Goth to make
Humboldt friends and relatives a visit.
Circulars descriptive of Mr.. Christie
have been distributed along the sew
eral railroads and his friends and rel
atives are leaving nothing undone to
find some clew to his whereabouts.
The information from Jackson to the
effect that a note was left by Mr..
Christie in the cash drawer of his gro
Gerry at Jackson stating that he was
respondent over business affairs and
was going to drown himself is viewed
as singular by his people, as it was
found on investigation that his busi-
ness was all right in a financial way.
