was killing me. l felt and ! saw II was
killing my father. Only Kate smiled, happy
in her youngling-Babs Rupert, as she
always loved to call him.
But Just the same. Kate was never at
all like my own sister. She always seemed
TO me during these days like some frail
fair bird Of rare plumage which has re-
ceiyed a mortal wound and mourns over
IL IN secret. She was, II anything. more

put the head of an angel at the top of the
stone. For, though ! had never seen him
with that expression, l thought that the
medallion would look Just like my Rupert

And after this event there came about
80 great a change in Kate that all her
actions were different. Whereas before
she would not move from the cot-side of
Babe Rupert, now she began to go here

"Yes!" the answer leaped out before

THE INSURANCE RATE WAR,
Another Move Against Greensboro Companies
By the Southern Tariff Association.

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro, N. c., July 26-During the
last two days there has been an import
ant conference held here between rep
resentatives of the Southeastern Tariff
Association and the officers of the
Greensboro Fire Insurance Companies.
Tremendous pressure has been brought
to bear upon the Greensboro companies
to induce them to allow their Green's
boro agents to charge the % per cent.
advance in rates. After most careful
consideration the Greensboro companies
have decided to maintain steadfastly
their position and not charge the 20 per
cent. advance. AS a result of this de-
cision a war upon the business of the
Greensboro companies has been inaugu-
rated in Greensboro. 1t goes without
saying that the people of Greensboro
will stand by their own companies.
One sensational feature of the fight is
that the largest insurers in Greensboro
have been notified this morning by rep
resentatives of the outside companies
that unless the Greensboro companies
charge the Is per cent. advance, all their
insurance will be. cancelled within five
days, and that these large insurers will
beeleft without protection. The mani
fest purpose of this is to induce the
property holders themselves to insist
that the Greensboro companies shall
charge the advance but it is not be-
lieved that the people of Greensboro
will submit to any such humiliation.

THE FLOODS IN TEXAS.
The Situation in Some Dis
tricts Has Grown Worse.
Heavy Losses.
(By the Associated Press.)

Dallas, Tex, July 26.-The flood situa-
ton in Texas has not improved any today
and in some districts has become more
serious. In the western part of the State
particularly the rain continues to fall
and there is little prospect of an early
resumption of railroad traffic. Nearly
all trains arriving in Dallas today were
late and trains on the Missouri Kansas
and Texas are reported tied UP at Hills
boro. There are several washouts on
the Texas Central, and no trains have
gone further west than Whitney on that
road. The Cotton Belt is cut off from
Gainesville by a washout at Leon river
1t is feared the bridge there will Le
washed away.
At Waco the Brazos is up thirty-one
feet and lacks three feet of being the
highest ever known. In East Waco MR.
chants are moving their goods out
The NJ X. and T. bridge is wash al
out at Hillsboro and fifty feet of the
main line of that road on the Dallas
branch is undermined. Several resi-
dences are under water, and skiffs have
gone to the rescue of the jewellers.
There was no rain in Dallas today, but
the Trinity river is running bank full.

THE WOMAN's DECISION.
Ida Stafford Says She Would Rather Die Than
Abandon Her Lover
Especial to News and Observer.)

I Especial to News and Observer
= Greensboro, N. c., July 26.-Chief
Scott returned from Norfolk this morn
ing. He says that he found the clippers,
Harding and Mrs. Stafford, absolutely
beyond all power of reason or persuasion
as to the perilous course they had be-
gun. Mrs. Stafford said that Harding
had proposed flight to her and she had
taken a year to consider it and her de-
cision was unalterable. When her child
rem were referred to she said they were
all boys and could we'll take care OF
themselves. She added that before she
would leave her unlawful lover and come
back she would willingly drown herself
in the bottom of the sea. Harding was
equally stubborn, and the chief, who
went as much as mediator as an officer,
could make no impression on either
by appeals to their sense of reason, honor
or prudence.
Col. A. B. Kimball, of the law firm Of
King C Kimball, left for New York last
night in behalf of Harding's father to
meet the couple when they arrive on the
boat from Norfolk and try to induce the
young man to abandon his course.
Yesterday when first informed that
Harding had been released and was 60
ing to New York but his wife was COM
ing home, Stafford declared that while he
wanted his wife at home, he wanted the
man in Jail, and telegraphed instructions
to Norfolk that he had sworn out war
rant for fornification and adultery
against both and wanted them re-arrest-
ed Later when her testimony on the
trial was repeated to him he wired the
chief of police to stop all proceedings
against the couple and let them both go
on towards hell as fast as they could,
the faster the better. He was advised
by one of the most distinguished law
yers of the town to do this

H. & B. BEERS MARKET LETTER.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
New Orleans, La, July 2S.-Liverpool
advices were diScouraging, therefore our
market opened 6 to z points lower On
new and 3 to 4 points on late, subse-
quently declining to z points addition
al realizing. Near the close spots COW
ering occasoned a slightly steadier feel
ing, making the net loss IS points on
July and to IL points on other months.
Rains were general throughout the belt
over Sunday, and the predictions are for
showers in the cotton region tonight
and Tuesday. Claims are being made
that excessive rains in Texas, have
done damage in sections, causing the ap-
pearance of boil worms and shedding.
1t must be remembered, however, that
two years ago the same character of
complaints were made, but ultimately
the heavy rains which fell then were in
strumental in making a bumper" crop
in Texas, therefore, while there may be
injury done to the plant for the moment
the beneficial results in the end will
more than counterbalance the same.
Manchester cables state that there was
no material change in the market last
week and the turn over was small. The
ueIlduu lOI ClOluS was dlGSlcu duNS
ly by the reduction in the price of cot
ton. The inquiry for India was mostly
unacceptable and the China trade show
ed no material Improvement The weak
ness in July was a leading feature, and
from present indications Spinners will
continue apathetic and refuse to enter
the market with the existing premiums
and especially as they can buy fall
months and get the spots inside of thirty
five days at nearly one cent a pound
cheaper. Selma reported the receipt Of
the first new bale today, which is ten
days earlier than last season. There is
no doubt that the crop on the whole is
much earlier than last year, and while
the movement of new cotton may be re-
tarded in Texas by rains it might be
offset by larger receipts of new from
the Atlantics and other Gulf States. In
the meanwhile there are vicissitudes
which can still overtake the crop, and
as the fall months are ruling at heavy
discounts conservative operators do not
think well of selling, until a more
intelligent conclusion can be reached as
to the probable out turn.

lby Tic ASSOCldlcu
Big Springs, Tex, July 26.--The water
is falling very slowly. Since 10 o'clock
this morning it has been falling at the
rate of one inch per hour. At that rate
it will take the water about three days
to run out. All the railroad property
and some of the business houses and resi-
dences are still under water at various
depths. The warehouses of the Mat
sthews Walcott Company and ]. and w.
Fisher were flooded and the losses will
be heavy. The total damage will amount
to over 5000 900. The Texas and Pacific
Railroad is the largest loser. L. s..
Thorne, general manager, and B. w.
Ward, general superintendent of the
Texas and Pacific, have reached here to
look after the property of the company.
On account of the high water they had
to come overland from Marietta, Texas.
