Stricken in the Pulpit.

Rev. W. J. Flanders, Pastor OF the
Methodist church at Lyons. Ga, was
stricken down while in the pulpit on
Sunday week. He started his morn
ing's service as usual at II o'clock.
He had finished his preliminary service
and had only made a few remarks
after taking his text when he
suddenly appeared very i'll and an
nounced to his congregation that he
could not further conduct the service
and requested another preacher to
pray. When the prayer was finished
he attempted to rise: he staggered and
was only prevented from falling by the
prompt assistance Of Rev. G. h.
Guerry, who was sitting close by. 1t
proved to be a stroke of paralysis. He
never regained consciousness and pass
ed away Sunday night at 9 o'clock.
His congregation was thrown into a
fever of excitement. Everything pos
.sible was done for him but to no avail.
1t was late in the afternoon before he
was carried to his home.

A Long Sleep.

A Trenton dispatch says that Pat
Caranaugh, who with Peter Hegelman
as partner, won the six day walking
match recently held at Madison
Square Garden, has been asleep at his
home since early Monday evening of
last week and cannot be reused. He
is the worlds champion walker and
his present condition is the result of
over exertion. The family is fearful
that Cavanaugh will sleep to death.
The physician, too, is puzzled and
says the man may never be aroused.

five professional butchers went in and
slew them. Then the bodies Of the

The management Of the Charleston

what the exposition really is. To
this end arrangements have been made
with the railroad lines for exceedingly
low rates on each Tuesday during the
month Of April. The following are

Capt Porter said that Gen. Smith
did not explicitly give Major Waller
the power Of life and death over
prisoners. but that he did by infer

Tuesday night by negro porter on a
Pullman car running between Denver
and La Junta. After leaving the
Chicago limited train here Mrs. Miller
asked a porter whom she met on the
station platform where the Denver
sleeper was. The man offered to con-
duct her to the car. After going with
him considerable distance Mrs. Mil

return to the station. She was then
knocked down by blow on the head
and after a struggle with her assailant
was choked into insensibility. When
she regained consciousness about an
hour later, she crawled back to the
station and gave an account Of the as
