SOCIETY ISLANDS WE'RE STORM.
STRICKEN, CAUSING GREAT
LOSS TO INHABITANTS.
Nineteen Killed.

Nineteen people are known to have
been killed as result of the tornado
which swept over a section of Merid-
ian, Miss, Friday evening. Twenty
four persons were injured and prop
erty with an estimated value of ST.
100000 was demolished or otherwise
damaged. Many sensational reports
were sent out of an appalling loss of
life, due probably to the chaotic con-
dition of affairs Immediately following
the visitation of the storm, but after
a careful canvass OF the situation, 1t
is believed only nineteen persons lost
their lives.
A mass meeting of citizens Of Merid-
ian was called Saturday and $4,000
was Immediately subscribed to aid the
destitute and injured. The Mississippi
legislature in session at Jackson APP
propriated $4,000 to the relief fund.
Gov. Vardaman secured a special
train and loading it with convicts from
the Rankin county farm, dispatched it
to Meridian. The city presented the
unique spectacle of state convicts aid
ing in the rescue work.

The most destructive cyclone ever
experienced in the Society and Tua-
motu islands occurred on February

timated at 100000 and presumably
similar amount of property was de-
stroyed on the Tuamotu islands. The
city of Papeete was inundated and
about seventy-five buildings destroyed,
including the American consulate and
the French government building.
The shipping in the harbor of Pa.
peete escaped injury owing to the di.
rection of the wind, but fears are en-
tertained for vessels which were cruis-

The Primary Vote.

Unless the voters in general
throughout the state take cognizance
of a certain act of the last legislature,
there will be thousands of qualified
electors disfranchised at the prima-
ries held in June. to nominate state
officers. At the election to be held
April 2, on the question of calling a
convention to revise the constitution
of the state of Michigan, voters Will
be expected to enroll. by registering
their party affiliations. color and ma
tivity. The act of the legislature re-
sponsible for this enrolment, also pro-
vides that those who do not enroll at
this April election will be disqualified
at the June primaries. 1t Is generally
believed that the vote in the April cleo
ton will be extremely light owing to
lack of interest in the question to be
voted upon. If, however, the voters
in general take due notice of the en-
rollment feature above mentioned the
vote should be an unusually large one.

TIMBER FRAUDS.

A remarkable tale OF gigantic timber
frauds, forged deeds, mutilated county
records, and an international financier
posing as a dead man is that told by
James Donovan, of Chicago, in his suit
accusing United States Senator Thos.
Plat and his nephew, j. Plat Under
wood, of wrongfully taking for their
own use timber to the value of more
than 100000.
The lands are in Wisconsin and are
declared to be the property of Dono-
van, and the estate OF his former part.
ner. La Flora S. Baker, formerly OF
Big Rapids, Mich.
The complications In the case are
deepened by the intimation that Ba-
ker is really alive, and maintaining
q residence in New York, while Judge
Cutting is endeavoring to settle up his
estate in Chicago.
The trial of the case will, II is said,
revive the scandal involving Senator
Plat and Mae G. Wood, the former
employee of the postoflice department
at Washington who brought sensa-
tional suit against him for breach of
promise few years ago.
While the senator was trying to
evade the legal traps Miss Wood was
setting for him she is declared to have
been living at her former home near
Coloma, Mich, in close touch with Col.
Donovan, comparing notes with him
and supplying him with information
cleaned by her through long associa-
ton with the senator.
In varying characters and under
numerous names Baker is depicted as
a character on the New York stock ex-
change, an attorney in New York,
frenzied financier. and as a capitalist
of New York, London and Paris Don
oyan says the living dead man is now
connected in a confidential capacity
with Senator Plat in New York, and
TO be heavily interested in some of
the biggest corporations in the world.
Baker disappeared from Big Rapids,
Mich, in 1883, and came to Chicago,
where he embarked in business, and
1t is said became the owner of the
Taylor building, 140 to 144 Monroe
street.
Donovan was formerly associated
in business with Senator Plat and his
nephew, j. Plat Underwood, in Big
Rapids. They organized the Tioga
Manufacturing Co. and embarked in
the lumber business, and later these
three and Marcus e. and John Brown,
OF Big Rapids, became interested to-
gether In other companies, known as
James Donovan a. Co., ID. F. Comstock
& Co. and Baker & Stearns. In 1857
the two Browns died, and a short time
later 1t is asserted that Thomas e.
Plat and j. Plat Underwood filed a
quit-claim deed from firm known as
Fox & Weston, of Painted Post, n. Y,
conveying to them title to $4,000 acres
OF timber lands of the firm in Wiscon-
sin. This is the firm from which the
Browns are said 10 have secured title
originally.
Donovan, in his declaration, asserts
that at the same time certain pages
OF the county records in Oconto coun-
ty, Wisconsin, were made away with
IN mysterious manner. He declares
that the pages that disappeared at that
time contained the record of the trans
fer OF the timber land in question from
Fox d Weston to the Browns.
About a year ago Donovan declares
that he discovered the missing pages
from the Wisconsin county records in
Grand Rapids, and now has indisputa-
bic proof Of ownership of the land in
question.
