spoke for union of North and South,

ern people to stop putting "Uncle Tom

bitterness. We need to cease giving

of and hatred for the people of the

pass away, butuntil it does there will be
no "union" of these sections.

STORM IN BALTIMORE.

Two storms met in Baltimore shortly
afternoon yesterday and broke over the
northeastern section of the city. For
more than an hour the rain came down
in sheets, accompanied by cyclonic
wind, which bowled over upper stories
of houses, carried off roofs, uprooted
trees, and did other damage estimated
in round figures at aquarter million dol
lars. Singularly enough, all of the
damage was confined within an area OF
about two miles, the shipping in the
harbor being undisturbed. In the par
ticular section affected it was black as
night before the storm broke, and many
of the residents we're so frightened that
they took refuge in the cellars, from which
they were driven soon afterward by the
water forcing its way underground.
All the while the air was filled with
electricity, while terrific peals of thun.
der followed each fash. Broadway and
Eager streets was the storm center.
Here an entire block Of houses was
denuded of its upper stories, brick walls,
with the roofs attached, were lifted out
into the streets, while in the immediate
neighborhood any number of buildings
were unroofed. Fortunately the streets
we're deserted, otherwise there might
have been many lives lost The rain
continued falling throughout the after
noon and toward evening another storm
broke in the central section, which,
while not as severe as that in the morn
ing. also did considerable damage.
There was no loss Of life but one man
was buried beneath pile of debris and
badly hurt.

DIVORCE AND DEATH. George
Howard Elder, of R., died on Saturday
in Garrison, Md, without knowing that
his wife, Anita Carroll McTavish Elder,
had obtained q divorce from him. Thus
ends one of the most discussed society
scandals that has ever agitated Baltimore.
Elder was Howard, a direct descend
ant of the famous family of Howard
county. Mrs Elder was a Carroll and la
McTayish. In Maryland these simple
statements carry with them a world of
significance. The peculiar suffix "of Rs
means son of Robert Elder" George
Howard Elder, of Z, was employed as
clerk on a salary of 81 a week when he
married Miss Anita Carroll McTavish. in
July, 1899. She was an heiress. After
marriage Elder quit work and bought a
farm. One of Elders friends, in his
cups, told of an experience which they
had in the Haymarket in New York, and
was compelled togive evidence before the
master in the divorce proceedings. The
divorce was granted Thursday in Dakota.

Attorney Attackod by Prisoner

Atlanta, Ca, July 13.-Torn ano
bleeding, AttorneyIRobert Jordan was
dragged Just in time to save his life Sun
day, from the cell in which Willard Lee
is confined while awaiting execution Tor
the murder of his sweetheart, Miss
Lillian May Suttles. The attorney went
to the Jail to see Lee relative to taking
steps TO prevent the execution of the
death sentence and was admitted to the
cell. Soon afterward guards in the cor
ridor heard the sounds OF struggle and
smothered cries. Rushing to the cell
they found the attorney, his throat grasp
ed by the prisoner, who was battering
his victims face. The guards dragged
the unconscious lawyer out of the cell,
smashing Lees fingers to make him re-
lease his grip on Jordan's throat which
was badly torn, and his face battered to
a pulp. When the lawyer was revived
he said that while discussing the case
Lee cried "Pll kill you," and at
tackled him. Jordan thinks Lee attack
ed him because he was seized by fit
of homicidal insanity.

ALEXANDRIA again has reason to
rejoice and be thankful for its deliver
ance from harm during yesterday
storm. Within a radius of one hun
dred miles from this city much damage
was done by rain, wind and lightning,
our neighboring cities of Washington
and Baltimore suffering severely; but
Alexandria escaped virtually unframed,
though the rain at times fell in the pro-
portion of cloud burst. Alexandra
has certainly had its ups and downs
during the past half a century, but il
must be admitted that the city has been
signally blessed in its deliverance from
serious harm by storms.

MORE ALLEGED frauds in army con-
tracts are to be prObed. Inspector
General Burton has gone West oslen-
sibly on routine inspection OF the
soldiers home, but the real purpose OF his
trip il is understood is to investigate a
lot of contracts which have been let by
the Quartermaster's Department on the
Pacific coast, especially at Seattle.
There have been many hints of favorit-
ism in the awarding Of army contracts
in the far West, and these recently took
the form of definite charges. 1t is said
that specifications have been drawn up
in the interest of favored firms and 1t IS
even minated that some of the con-
tracts have not been filled in conforming
with the law. Every branch of the
government seems to be corrupt and
until there is a change of administration
there is little chance of a better condi-
lion of affairs. Turn the rascals out.
