MAURY REPUBLICANS
LINING UP FOR EVANS.

Since the announcement that H.
Clay Evans would surely be a candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for Governor, local Republicans are
beginning to sit up and take notice,
and it is the opinion of some of the
local leaders that this county will in
struct for Mr.. Evans. VIM. Barker,
Secretary of the Republican Execu-
tive Committee, is a strong Evans
man, and says the majority of the
committee is of his way of thinking.
He is of the opinion that Evans is
the strongest man the party can put
in the field, and that, with the present
strife in the ranks of the Democrats,
there is more than a mild hope that
Mr.. Evans will win the victory in the
final struggle.

REMARKABLE OPERATION.
Burned chiId's Skin Replaced by Mem
branes OF Egg Shells.

FLORENCE, Ala, March 2.-Dr. P.
8. Boyd has just returned to his home
in this city from Birmingham, where
he successfully performed a most re,
markable surgical operation. DIR.
Boyd was called to Birmingham sew
eral weeks ago to attend to his little
granddaughter, Catherine Boyd, who
had been terribly burned, requiring
the grating of 120 inches of skin. In
the place Of human skin the mem
brane of egg shells was used with en-
tire success. The eggs were broken
and the membrane cut into the shape
required under a salt solution, and
only exposed to the air for the dis.
lance OF about twenty inches while
being removed to the child's body.
The discovery is a recent one, which
has not been generally adopted by
and this is the first time
such an operation has been success

TORNADO CAUSES
IMMENSE LOSS.
PORTION OF MERIDIAN, MISS, in
RUINS, WHILE FIRE ADDS TO
THE DESTRUCTION.
MANY LIVES REPORTED LOST.

MOBILE, Ala, March "A long
distance message to the Item from j.
D. Breaux, service man of the Cum
berland Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany, Meridian, gives complete de-
tails of the cyclone that struck Meli-
dan at $50 this evening as follows.
During a heavy rainstorm at $50
O'Clock a storm cloud developed in the
Front street, the business center,
with full force. The wind was proba-
bly, blowing seventy-five miles an
hour. The cyclone passed over in
about two minutes and during that
period three or four whole squares
were devastated. A conservative es-
innate places the number of build
ings blown down at between thirty
and forty.
Among the heaviest losers are the
Meyer G. Neville Hardware Company;
Tom lyle & Co., wholesale dry goods
and groceries; JOS. H. Moore, whole
sale dry goods and groceries; the
New Orleans & Northeastern Rail-
road freight depot. and other build
ings the names of which are not OBJ
tainable at this hour.
The Mobile & Ohio depot is safe,
as well as the Southern Hotel, but
the Grand Avenue Hotel was consid-
erably damaged, the guests in the lat
ter building escaping and no one be-
ing injured.
From the business center the cy-
clone jumped to the east, where a
number of residences were blown
down and others badly damaged.
Mr.. Breaux stated that the number |
of lives lost is small, probably not
over three or four persons. One OF
the victims, a man named Johnson, is
hemmed In by the wreckage. At 10
O'Clock he was reached by the rescu-
ing party, to whom he spoke and beg
ged them to hurry and extricate him.
Several fires were started as the
result of the cyclone, but only one
serious consequence was that In the
congresses. All fires were extin-
guished,,by 10 p. m.y $50. .-r
Mr.. Breaux reports all trains en-
tering the city on time. Wires of the
telegraph companies are still down.
