ment OF Texas, at San Antonio, to

DULUTH ELEVATOR BURNS
FIRE ON RlcE's POINT DOES MIL
LION DOLLAR DAMAGE.
Property Valued at Like Amount 10
Saved Only by Most Valiant
Work.

Duluth, Mimi, June 27.-Over .
million dollars in property was con-
sumed within two hours Friday after.
noon on Rice's Point by a fire which
RACED elevator D of the Consolidated
Elevator company to the waters edge.
destroyed a dock and sheds of the
Northern Pacific and imperiled sur
rounding property valued at another
million.
Valiant work by a dozen tug boats
which aided the fire department is
probably all that saved the bay front
at that point from being entirely
swept, While the firemen combated
the flames on Elevator D the. tugs
kept steady streams on all surround
ing buildings from the slips within q
radius of two blocks. The flames shot
in the air high above the structure
and, famed by brisk breeze, broke
across the water and kept the docks
and elevators almost at the point of ig-
milton.
From 1885, when the fire was dis
covered, until about four O'Clock. ele-
vator D was a raging furnace, then,
after two hours fierce burning, the
fire had spent itself and gradually
abated until at eight o'clock, only
smouldering wreckage of the property
remained.
A small explosion, the origin Of
which cannot be accounted for, was
quickly followed by the bursting of the
flames through the roof, and before
the department arrived the building
was veritable volcano. y.

FURY OF TORNADO
Pukwana. S. D., Is Nearly Wiped out
and Crops Are Ruined.

Mitchell, s. D., June 3o.-The little
town Of Pukwana In Brule" county.
about fifty. miles west Of Mitchell
on the @. M. 81 st. p. road, was near
ay wiped out Of existence Sunday
night by tornado, which covered a
territory about quarter of mile
wide and did damage that will take a
long time to repair.
The storm struck the place about
II O'Clock, when the town was sound
asleep. It came with terrific force,
lasting about five minutes, but the
damage was awful. The tornado
came from the northwest, leveling
houses in its pathway.
Between twelve and fifteen stores
and residences were absolutely de-
stroyed, and there is not house in
the town that was not wrecked to
some extent. People rushed from
their homes in panic, but they had
no place to go, and the darkness
made the disaster seem more severe
then it was.
Two large elevators were blown
down across the track, covering a
freight car. The depot was practical
ly wrecked and the main track of the
road was closed to traffic for the day.
Several houses which were Just
completed in the town were f1attened
to the ground and the lumber was
scattered in every direction. A four
by four timber was driven through
one of the houses.

Body Hit by Decision.

St. Paul., July Judges Sanborp,
Hook and Adams, in the United States
circuit court, Tuesday made an inter
locutory decree whereby they temper
arily suspend and enjoin the enforce
ment of the order Of the interstate
commerce commission which reduced
the charge of certain railroad COM
panies for the transfer of live stock
from the termini of their roads in
Chicago to the Union Stock Yards
from 50 to 81 per car. Judge Adams
delivered the opinion of the court
The court held: THE terminal
charge for the transportation of these
cars from the terminal of the rail-
roads to the stockyards over the tracks
of the Union Stock Yards Company
was required by the acts of congress
to be separately scheduled by the rail
road companies and they complied with
those acts and scheduled this charge
separately
Say Charge Is Reasonable.
"This terminal charge Of So per car
for transferring the cars over the
tracks of the Union Stock Yards Com
pany to the stock yards and returning
the same to compliments roads was
reasonable charge. A reduction of it
to 81 per car made 1t unreasonahly
low. The interstate commerce com.
mission made this charge unreason-
ably low because the rates of the rail-
road companies on their own roads
and their through rates composed
of the rates on their own roads
and the terminal charge of 81 were,
in their opinion. unreasonably high.
This was an error of law. Under the
act Of congress which requires seq
regation the question Of the business
and reasonableness Of each segregat-
ed rate must be determined by itself
Under the acts of congress the
federal courts have jurisdiction to set
aside or suspend an order of the in

application of the law to conceded or
undisputed facts.

enough that the reduced rate is unjust
and unreasonable.

THE SERVICES OF DR.. c. II. CLARK
IN GREAT DEMAND.

In a conversation with a special
party that arrived from the recent
sessions of the National Baptist Con
vention, a Globe reporter learned
some facts concerning this great body.
It is known that Nashville plays quite
a part in these annual deliberations,
especially being represented in the
management of the various boards.
Rev, DR.. Clark, pastor of Mt. olive
Baptist Church, who is chairman OF
the NATIONAL Baptist Publishing Board
and who has been an active worker
in the National ranks for many years,
was unanimously reelected at the ses-
sions recently held in Lexington. 1t
was learned by a Globe reporter that
DR.. Clark was approached by several
special committees from different
churches with propositions touching
upon his accepting the p~astorate of
their congregations. Among these was
the Secortd Baptist Church at Indian
apolis, Irld. The church at Indianap-
oils is without a pastor. 1t is the
leading church of the city, but owing
to ONE dissatisfaction among the Of
hcers and members, the church doors
have been closed. The Indianapolis
people regard DR.. Clark as being equal
to any minister in the denomination.
They have urged him to accept the
call.
The next committee was from the
First African Baptist Church of Sa-
vannah, Ga. The people who make up
up this congregation have been ar
dent admirers of DR.. Clark since be-
fore he accepted the passionate of MT.
Olive. Two years ago he conducted
a revival for them and he had hardly
returned to the city before he re-
ceived a call which he did not con
slider. Now that they are without a
pastor, they sent a special committee
all the way to Lexington again urging
him to consider their proposition.

Four carloads of visitors stopped
over in this city Monday and Tuesday
en- route from the National Baptist
Convention, which has Just closed it's
session at Lexington, KY. These Wis
itors were principally from the South
ern States. There were two special
Pullman cars from Texas. These two
delegations were in charge of prom

around from Southeast, Southwest

over the Louisville & Nashville.
They were returning by the same
route. The others were from Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
Their object in stopping owe in
Nashville was principally to see the

COM M~UNICATION.
Replies to Mr.. MayfieId.

Editor Nashville Globe:
The card of Attorney Mayfeld is
most amusing. Some people never
know when they have enough, and un-
less he can satisfy the people that he
has some argument, it would be
cruelty to animals" to put him to
white heat and force him to again i'm
pose on the city's water supply. 1t was
the occasion of his life. He felt it.
He imported Slater down to report
the speech. In fact, he thought there
would be nothing to do but simply
'rebut" the argument. We are not
surprised at his calling it a "ha-
rangue," and stating that there was
nothing in it. A man scarcely knows
when a train has run over him; or
thought lightning has struck him, or
an earthquake has swallowed him.
His friends know tat least when
they pay the funeral bill; and the adj
miring friends of Mr.. Mayfield grieved
at the ''piteous spectacle" of their
ideal who was lost in wonderment and
were apprehensive that he would fin
ally call out the fire department to
quench the heat we created inside his
abdominal cavity.
We are engaged in the undertaking
business and not politics, and it was
to help a charitable cause that we
accepted his challenge to debate. The
thousand people there have rendered
their verdict; the Globe gave in part
the substance matter and what we
have written is written. If Mr.. May
field will give his scattering manu-
script to The Globe just as he had
it, we will give our original manu-
script also, and the public can pass or
the merits of the arguments. The
Globe, however, to collect the full cost
from each, and appoint competent
judges to pass On the argument, let
ting the losing man pay cost.
1t must be fun for Mr.. Mayfield tt
be a dollbaby and have balls thrown
at him.
1t is always best to overestimatC
your opponent. We certainly did il
the case of our esteemed attorney, ant
object to furnishing the whole show
when my associate gets equal billing
What Mr.. Maytield needs is a set o.
credentials and some sort of recon
mendation before he can be a drawing
card, But he is a jolly good fellow
like Banuuo's ghost, he will no

Gratis mean to send out samples of Ne
gro p~roselytes, couldn't they put thei
hands on a better debater than our es
teemed attorney?
