CECIL RHODES is DEAD
Millionaire Empire Builder Succumbs
to Lona Illness.

to Long illness.
Cape Town, March 27.--Cecil
Rhodes. the South African empire
builder and millionaire, died yester.
day. He had been lowering between
life and death for several weeks, but
the end was not expected by his ply
sicians. During Tuesday night
he suffered relapse, but rallied
slightly yesterday morning, and was
able to take nourishment. Then he
suffered the fatal relapse. He was
half conscious several hours before his
death
During the past couple of weeks
Mr. Rhodes has been kept alive mainly
by the use of oxygen, with the hope
that meanwhile the disease could be
successfully combatted with. Up un-
til the end he hoped to return to Eng
land Mr.. Rhodes died at 5.57 p. m.
(Cape Town time). The end was
peaceful He was conscious until 5.55
p. m, when he muttered few words
and sank rapidly. The immediate
cause of his death was two successive
attacks of heart failure.
The body was taken to Groote-
schuur, the residence of the deceased,
near Cape Town, on special train
today 1t has not yet been determined
where he will be buried. 1t was the
wish of Mr.. Rhodes to be inferred at
Matoppo Hills, Rhodesia The fea-
lures of the dead man are placid. and
a death mask of them will be taken.

Would-be Tarin Wreckers Arrested d.

Trenton, Mo-, March 31.-George
Busch, aged 16 years, and George
Young. aged 20, made an unsuccessful
attempt last Saturday night to wreck
an eastbound Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific railroad passenger train
about five miles east of here. The
track at this point is on high en-
bankment, and a derailment could
scarcely have occurred without the
loss of many lives. Both boys were
arrested and have confessed. Their
motive appears to have been revenge
for having been put off a freight
train. Dime novels are believed to
have played part.

Fatally Injured.

rata'ly injured.
Greenville, Pa, March 31-The
Easter services being held in the Unit
ed Presbyterian Church at James
town, this county, came to an abrupt
ending at IL o'clock yesterday. The
Sky became overcast, and a funnel
shaped cloud was seen approaching
from the northwest. The tail dipped
to the ground just before the church
was reached. The congregation be-
came uneasy, but the pastor, Rev. j.
M. Jamison, continued the services.
All of sudden there was a terrific
crash and part of the south end
Of the church crashed in, burying
the minister beneath bricks and tim
Der. The men of the congregation
rushed to the pulpit, and when the
stricken minister was removed from
the debris it was found that he had
received fatal injuries. His jaw was
broken and the temporal bone was
crushed. The storm was the worst
that has occurred in this section for
many years.
