RELIEF FOR MERIDIAN.
Governor Vardaman at Stricken City
 to Aid Victims of Cyclone.

Governor yardaman at Stricken City
 to Aid Victims of Cyclone.
 MERIDIAN, Miss, March 5.-Hunter George, president of the city board of trade, was made chairman of the gen eral relief committee, and J. w. DonO- van was elected secretary. Business is practically suspended, and every citizen is giving his best effort toward alleviating the sufferings of many poor people.
 Among the buildings destroyed or practically ruined were those of the Thomas Lyle Grocery company, Elmi- ra's restaurant, the Meyar-Neville Hardware company, the Grand Avenue hotel, Thornton's Transfer company, the Culpepper hotel, the New Orleans and Northeastern freight depot, the Young Mems Christian association, the Meridian Chair company, the city elec- tric light plant, W. J. Woodside X O., the Pearce Compress company, the Gulf Compress company and innumer- able smaller buildings used by work men and negroes.
 The militia is keeping the crowds back. while the search of the ruins progresses. The citizens held meet ing and organized for relief work. Many persons reported missing are believed to be dead under the wreck age in the business district.
 The property loss is difficult to esti, mate, but it is believed 1t will run above S1,00O,0O0. The city is in dark ness at night and doubtless will be for some time, as the electric light plant was badly damaged, and wires of all kinds are down.
 A special train has arrived from Jackson with Governor vardaman, 100 members of the legislature and many physicians, who are aiding in the relief work.

EDWARD IN PARIS.
Cordial Greeting at French Capitai.
 To Meet Alfonso at Biarritx.

AO NAcct hlIOn1O at ASAuHiAtAs
 PARIS, March 5. liking Edwards visit to Paris is attracting great atten- ton, enormous crowds cheering his every appearance on the streets. The cordiality of the greetings exchanged between the king and President Fal- Heres during his majesty's official call at the Elysee palace was much remark ed. The conversation between the two lasted half an hour.
 Later the president returned the call at the British embassy, where state dinner was held in the evening, at which President Fallieres and Premier Rouvier. with their wives, were among the guests. There were TO speeches during the dinner. Afterward King Edward, President Fallieres and NJ. Rouvier conversed for nearly an hour in the smoking room.
 During the course of the day former President Loubet and Casimir-Perier left their cards at the British embassy. The king has invited NJ. Loubet to dinner this evening.
 The Princesses Beatrice and Ena of Battenberg after lunching with King Edward left for Biarritz, where they will await the Kings arrival. Later an interview between the kings of England and Spain will occur there, at which official consent to the mar
 riage of Princess Ena to King Alfonso will be given.

FIREMEN CHANGED
Rearrangement Was Caused by Swapping of Engines at Brook
 lyn and Burton Street.

The first changes in regard to re- arranging the men in the fire depart. ment took place this morning when the following men were shifted c. Wheeler from Engine No to Englne No 3; John H. Kenny from Engine No 1 to Engine No 3; Samuel \. Rock well from No to No 3: William Riley from No to No I; James J. Quinn from Chemical No to No 8; Edward B. McAlenny from No 3 to Hook and Ladder }; John Mates from Hook and Ladder l to Chemical 1; Edward W. Shea from Hook and Ladder ? to Hook and Ladder 1.
 Several of these changes were caus- ed by the swapping of the engines in the Brooklyn and Burton street fire houses. The chief thought that the lighter engine of the Brooklyn boys would do better service in the Burton street house, around which the streets are steep, consequently the engines and horses in both houses were shift ed,

IN POLICE COURT
Man on Probation Was Before the
 Court Again To-Day.

Joseph Pierce, IS, who was put on one years probation by Judge Shum- way in the superior court last week, was ill Judge Burpee's court this morning charged with intoxication and breach of the peace. He was arrested by Officer Tehan. According to his own story Pierce seemed to have been out with some companions late Satur- day evening and they stopped in the doorway of 417 East Main street, which is owned by Patrick Lawlor. liquor drummer. Lawlor said that this was about 11:45 and the eight tenants in the block were disturbed by the racket made by Pierce and his friends. He got up and tried to get blow at one of them, but they get away. Law Tor then went in, but soon after he again heard clamor in the vestibule of the block and he thereupon got up and overlook Pierce. Officer Tehan came along as Pierce was struggling with Lawlor.
 Pierce denied positively that he was intoxicated or had committed breach of the peace. He stated that they merely stopped in the vestibule to get  out of the rain and that they proceeded on their way home after while, bur that one of them returned for his um- brella.
 Judge Burpee advised the probation officer to notify Judge Shumway of the superior court Tuesday and if he does not order Pierce restrained fine of $10 and costs will go into effect Wednesday morning.
 Pierce was caught burglarizing a store on North Main street a few months ago. His appearance and lack of police record secured him yea. on probation from the superior court.
 This was the only case before the court. Henry Hopke raised disturb ance in Polls yesterday afternoon dur ing an exhibition of moving pictures. He settled for $7.

SCRANTON. Pa, March 5.--Edward Grifiths, a chauffeur, aged twenty four, member of respected family, has been arrested here as the lone bur glar who since Dec.'1 has entered and ransacked fifteen residences. He broke down when confronted with evidences of his guilt and confessed to eight of the burglaries. He said he might have been guilty of the other depredations, but he was not sure, as some of the houses he burglarized were selected at random, and he does not know the names of the occupants. He will have his memory refreshed for him. His detection was effected through his at- tempt to dispose of some old coins stolen from one of the houses.

Charles Town, Dec. 1S.--F1re early
this morning destroyed the big plan
ing mill and the greater portion of the
lumber yard of William Philips Sons,
situated in the heart of the business
section of the city. The blaze was dis
covered about 1870 o'clock, and was
caused by the heat from the smoke
stack, which fired some inhammable
material on the second floor. The flames
spread rapidly, and one time threaten
ed to communicate to the adjoining
buildings. This, however, was pre-
vented, but nearly the entire Philips
plant was consumed The loss is esti-
mated to be about $4,000, with insur-
ance of 81 900. Tbs mill was one of the
largest and best equipped in this sec.
ton.

A vote was taken last Friday in the
House of Representatives on the pro-
position of increasing the pay of men,
bers of congres SIS and the proceedings
are said to have been Of the most
amusing character. Some members
were exceedingly anxious for the in
crease and it seems that all were favor
able to the raise but only few made
bold to advocate the increase by adj
dressing the House. The proposition
was to raise the salary from 5000 to
81, 500 and the bait was most Tempt
ing one. There is no doubt that the
present pay is not sufficient for the
congressman who does his duty and
works for his people but there are some
who do not earn hundred dollars in
the two years and if there are any who
do not wish to work for the present
salary they need not worry about a
successor. There is always fit man
to step up and take the job at $1,000
and would take it even at half that
price. However we are of the opinion
that there ought to be raise and we
are glad to see that Colonel Tom Davis
didsnot get scared and though he re-
tires before the proposed increase
would have gone into effect he voted
for the Increase.

signed from the ministry but only
after he was con Sicted by the church
cour s of heresy, and when he knew
that his bishop would disrobe him,
lr. rtpsey has been preaching and
teachins the supernatural from the
B BIZ that there was nothing super
natural about thu birth of Christ but
maj lie must have been and was born
by ordinary generation. He also claims
that The body of Christ did not ascend
into heaven. DIT, Crapsey has fallen
into The general error Of unbelief. He
cannot except anything but that
which he can reason out in his own
mind and eliminates all that is super

that when the supernatural is taken
from the Bible the whole plan

then he was not the son Of God and if

that he was ready to prove he had re-

Baily is brilliant man and up to
