Sedalia has Just been elected
pastor of the First Baptist
church of that city for the tween
ty-fifth consecutive year
In a report presented to Judge
Hough in the circuit court yes
terday M. K. McGrath, former
secretary of state, declared
that the incorporation of the
Third Baptist Church OF ST
Louis was illegal. The ques-
ton of the validity of the incor'
poration arose when the church
filed application to be allowed
to amend its articles of organl-
cation and governing body.
Mr. McGrdth, casing his lind
ings on the ground that the III
corporation of the church was
contrary to the constitution o.
the state, gives it as his opin
ion that any amendment to the
Incorporation would likewise
be illegal and invalid. The
constitutions Of 1865 and
1867 both ordained h I
churches should exist without
let or hiudrance on the part OF
the state. Mr.. McGrath reported.

MysteriOus Drowning.

Danville, Va, June 29.-Miss Pau
line Edwards was drowned in creek
near her home in Pittsylvania county,
some miles beyond Chatham, yesterday
afternoon. She had left home only an
hour before her dead body was found.
The young woman's clothing was :orn
and the sod on the bank of the stream
was loosened as if by struggle. 1t is
believed that the girl, who was not more
than 16 years of age, was assaulted and
that her head was afterward held in the
stream until she drowned. Clasped in
the fingers of the dead girl was found a
piece Of cloth. which might have been a
part of mans coat The theory of as
sault is strongly suspected by relatives
The fact that she was drowned leads to
the suy position that the assault, if al
assault was committed, was made by {
person who was we'll known to her, anC
that murder was afterwards resorteC
10 in order to escape the penalty Of th'
crime. The girl was the belle of thu
neighborhOOd in which she lived.

Aroused Curiosity.

Some talk was occasioned on King
street late Monday night by an incident
which was magnifed every time it was
repeated. 1t seems that the actions OF
a man who conducts business in an upper
story of a building west of St. Asanh,
street caused attention to be centred
upon him when a girl of tender years
was seen to enter the place. A friend
of the female subsequently appeared and
went to the room occupied by the man
and asked for the girl and also the reason
for her being there. The proprietor re-
piled that she had entered the room to
look at some pictures. The girl subse-
quently appeared and left the place Win
the gentleman who had sought her.
Mayor Simpson was apPrised of the in
cident and he sent an officer to investl-
gate the matter. The proprietor OF thu
place could not be found, he having, Il
is supposed, LETT the city. The alin
gave rise to many eXaggeratlons, but thu
above is substantially what occurred.

Pittsburg, June 29.-One body re-
covered a number of men, women and
children reported missing, and property
damaged estimated at close to a quarter
OF million dollars, is the record of a
cloudburst along RobiusDn run between
Carnegie and Mcdonald, on the main
line of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chi
cago and st. Louis Railroad shortly after
five o'clock yesterday afternoon. From
Mcdonald to Carnegie houses are wash
ed from their foundations while Oakdale,
where several lives are reported lost was
entirely Gu; off from telegraph, telephone
and railroad communication. AT $3.50
o'clock this morning reporter arrived
at Mcdonald, after making thorough
inspection of the damage at Fort Pitt,
Walkers Mills, Ifiley, Gregg, Oakdale,
Noblestown and Sturgeon by the storm
of last evening. On both sides of Rob
inson run at Oakdale houses were partly
under water. At least forty Houses were
wrecked. There were rumors Of several
lives being lost, but no bodies except ar
unknown Italian were discovered. Al
Oakdale the water was several feet deer
on many of the streets. Houses were
found wedged against the wrecks o.
bridges. There is some danger from fire
owing to the fact that every oil pipe o
the Forest, South Pennsylvania and
Wheeling Oil Companies, which are To-
Gated along Robinson run, are broker
and oil is floating upon the recedinl
waters.
