The section visited by the flood em-
braced one of the richest portions of
the state and damage to farm lands is
a serious item. 1t includes counties
lying between the mountains on the
east and the Tennessee river on the
west, and between the Cumberland riv-

that have stood storms of forty years
were washed away on many of the we'll
known riverside farms of Lincoln coun-

The Pretoria Returns to Port With
Flames in Her Hold.
New York, March 31.-The steamer
Pretoria OF the Quebec line returned to
this port last night with fire in her for
ward hold. Her passengers came in a
short time previously on the steamer
Noordland Of the American line. having
been transferred at sea. The Pretoria
Is anchored at Tompkinsville. and fire
boats from the city were dispatched
there as soon as the news of the fire
was received here.
The Noofdland Is anchored at quar-
antine and the passengers taken from
the Pretoria will be landed In the morn
Ing, after which she will proceed on her
voyage to Liverpool.
The Pretoria left this port Saturday
afternoon bound for Hamilton Bermu-
da, with Captain Mckenzie in COM
mand. AT midnight smoke was seen
coming out OF the forward hold. The
fire could not exactly be located. The
engines were stopped. and Captain Nc
Kenzie got everything ready for any
emergency. The life boats We're put in
condition for hasty lowering, and were
stocked with provisions. At this time
the vessel was 100 miles south of Sandy
Hook.
At o'clock In the morning (Sunday)
the captain saw that the flames in the
hold were making headway against the
streams Of water which the crew were
pouring into the compartment. This
determined him to head his vessel for
New York.
At o'clock the steamer Noordland
came In sight. She was bound from
Philadelphia to Liverpool. The Pretoria
signaled her and she was soon alongside.
While the Noordland lay cleesS by, Cap
tain Mckenzie began a thorougA search
OF the hold to ascertain just how bad
the fire was. On the matches being
opened he found that shipment of
hay In the front compartment was
blazing quite fiercely, and what accent
uated the danger was that the next
compartment was stored with petrole-
um.
Captain Mckenzie then decided to
REMOVE his passengers, who had re-
mafned quiet, having confidence that
the arrangements for their safety made
by the captain would prove effective
Mckenzie went in his gig to consult
Captain Doxrud Of the Noordland. Soon
after the passengers were transferred

on to New York. When of Tompkins-

The passengers Of the Pretoria spoke
very highly Of the treatment accorded

New York, March 31.-Albert T. Pat-

of William Marsh Rice and Mrs. Addie
M. Francis, with whom Patrick board
ed up to the time of his arrest, were
married in the tombs yesterday. The
marriage was made by contract in ac-

state legislature last year, providing
for contract marriages entered into be-
fore two witnesses. The legal witnesses
to the ceremony were Patrick's father
and his sister.
New York, N. Y, March 31.-Albert
T. Patrick. convicted last week of mur-
der in the first degree, for plotting the
death of Millionaire William Marsh
Rice. and now awaiting death sentence.
and Mrs. Addie L. Francis have be-
come husband and wife in the marron. s
room at the tombs, according to the
American and Journal. A pen stroke
did it, despite all measures taken to
prevent. The arrangements We're SO
perfectly made, secretly planned and
cleverly executed that not until the
marriage was irrevocably complete
We're Patrick's guards cognizant it was
even intended. The fact that Coinmis-
sioner of Correction Hynes had de-
clared his opposition to the marriage
between the prisoner and the woman
who has been so faithful to him during
his long incarceration and trial, made
the Tombs officials more alert to pre-
vent the marriage in prison.
The marriage is said to have been
accomplished, however, while the ma
tron was present, the latter being SO
much preoccupied with attending to
other duties that she was unaware
what was going on.
Mr.. Francis. accompanied by the at
torney's sister and Patrick's father
called at the tombs and asked for a
conference with the prisoner. He. was
escorted to the matron's room and after
a few moments the guard is said to
have stepped outside. It is said the
wedding contracts were then signed by
Patrick and Mrs. Francis in duplicate
Under the law enacted by the legisla 5
ture a year ago this form Of marriage
is lawful when the signing of the con-
tract is witnessed by two persons; to
perfect the cermony it is only neces-
sary to file copy of the contract with
a magistrate within six months.
