The ministers of tne Congrega tional churches of southern Illinois have been holding a business meeting at Mr. Stemn's church for the past week. At the close of a sermon by one of the visiting brethren on "The Uncertainties of Life," Mr. Steinn made a few remarks from the pulpit, in which he said that life was but a span, and that we mignt at any moment be on the brink of the grave. Ee then leaned his head on the puipit as if in prayer and a moment later iraj fonnd tn h 1!H. H j frequently expressed to hi iannlr desire I u ? ad face horribly burned.

Army and navy affairs are receiving seri ous consideration, attention being directed to them by the fact thit there are now three courts-martial in progress, viz.- The Meele-Wild case in Chicago", the McCalla case m New York, and the Healy case in San Francisco. In each case the com manding orlicer is being tried on charges of unwarranted severity ana cruelty to those under them. It is probable that Admiral Walkers squadron of evolution will result in a court of inquiry when the squadron returns to the Fnited States, and a court of inquiry may be ordered in the caee of Lieut.-Com. Longnecker, at Newport, P.. L The facts that such a state of affairs exists is attracting congressional attention, and resolutions of inquiry into the number of convictions of soldiers and sailors by courts-martial, will probably be offered in congress this week. The fropah Capuh. A New Orleans negro has received justice from an organization, composed exclu sively of southern men of the most pro nounced type. The Case Continental guards redressed a wrong which they con sidered had been done to their negro "" raorer, Gilbert Jones, at the hands of a,ieut. uonom,one 01 tne most popular and wealthv members of the command.

Prophets or Disaster. Three of Oakland's religious cranks, who have made "Borne howl" for the last two weeks with warnings of a rloca to come on April 14, have left for St. Louis, which has kindly been excepted from the fate of Chi cago and San Francisco. Prophet Erick son, who had a vision of the complete de struction of Chicago, Milwaukee. San Francisco aad Oakland, now languishes in the Stockton insane asylum, but his fol lowers are as rampant as evar. Many have saenfieed their property for half its value, while others have traded furniture for horses and wagons with which to make a hegira to the mountains a few days before the flood is expected. The meetings of believers, wno call themselves "Doom Sealers," are now secretly held to escape the attention of the police, and the scenes enacted axe said to be astonish iag men and women falling in a trance after intense nervous excitement.

On the ship they set a Frenchman calling himself Itarqois De Larmont, represented himself as being the possessor of large estates in France and extensiTe ranches in Texas, whither he was proceeding He fell desperately in love with the tlder iliss ilcEnery and an engagement was imminent. On the arziral of the ship at New York, the govemnr met his daughters at the pier and was introduced to the marquis. The goTeraor gave him a most cordial recep tion, invited him to a special banquet, and was so well pleased that he introduced him' to many ew York friends. Suddenly the marqui3 was called to Texas to look after his ranches and not wanting to wait for a remittance, drew through the obliging gov ernor on a business firm at Baton Houge for $2,000 and a second draft on soce other place in Texas for $Go0. He bade a most affectionate farewell with promises of an exchange of letters, but was never heard from again, and the drafts remain unpaid. The governor has since discovered that the marquis is a French chef, and is now be lieved to be in Paris working in a restaur ant. In the meantime, iliss lIcEnery is in a state of dismal despair.

The under- taker prepared the remains for burial, and placed them in the coffin in the full b'hef that the boy was dead.

SEBGEAJT ITJXXS "WAKXHTG. Lower MimiMippi 3tast rresutre for a Fearful Flood. Sergt. Dunn, of the signal service, in ac interview this afternoon says that one of the greatest calamities the county has ever known is imminent and that it is the duty of the press t j warn the people of lower Mississippi to prepare for the worst: He says: "The damage will be greater below Mem phis. "The height of the river at Yicks boxg and Cairo has remained almost sta tionary at the top of the flood limit. When the wave crest-from this new storm corn's down the river things are bound to be car ried awav and the surrounding countrv cov ered."

EDDIE AT THE HELM. To uns Edwin Gould la Control of Affairs in the Old Man's Absence. Wall street is interested in a report that Mr. Jay Gould is to order hi3 yacht into commission early this spring and go sail ing for several months in foreign waters. Several members of his family will accom pany him, while his two elder sons, George and Edwin, will remain at home to look out for the family's millionaire interests. The confidence which Mr. (ould feels in the business capacity and judgment of his sons i shown by the fact that during his present extended trip through the southwest and Mexico, his 22-year-old sen Edwin has been in full chirge of the GonlJ railway affairs. This means more than the transaction of nieie routine business. Such impor tant interest-, were probably never before committed so fully to one of Edwin Goulds years. He is credited in Wall street with having drawn one check the other day for something like $600,000. -V VERY LIVELY CORPSE. Mike McMauut Denies that Hi Bones Were 1'ickrd by Wolves.

The tornado which struck Louisville, Ky., entered the southeastern portion of the city at Eighteenth street at.d swept a path of five blocks diagonally, reaching in a ragged line to Seventh street and lev eling every building in its path probably 2.500 houses at a rough estimate.

Nearly Every House Gone. Every other house on Market, Jefferson nd wilnnr struts fro F?vntr. tr, Stt- teenth street, is in ruins. Parkland, a suburb, u swept away. At the Tnion dopcti at the foot of Seventh street a Chessapeake 4 Ohio train for Washington was just starting out filled with passengers. The building was prostrated, crushing in on the train. All the Fasseusers Were Rescued except one newsboy. Every building, tree and telegraph pole in the district strnck was leveled. The district laid low was an area three miles long and nearly a half mile wide. The streets are thronged with multi tudes of sorrowing people. They stana upon the cornsrs with tear dimmed eyes, solemnly discussing the dreadful catastro phe or move from one point cf the wrecked district to another, gazing at the scenes of ruin.

Occasionally when one of these enters a sound, half sob, half shriek, reaches the outer doors. The telephone wires aie all down and it f will take ten days f o get them up and working again.

Crushed and blackened rums mark the spot where last evening stood the splen did, large union depot at Seventh and Bive When the crash came the Louis- ( ville southern train had just come m and the I. and M. was ready to pull out. but both were caught by the falling mass and crushed like shells. About a dozen people were injured, but. it is thought, none fatally. The wide river, disturbed by the fury of the tornado, is yet angry, and what was left of the depot by the wind is momen tarily threatened by the strong waves that surge under and about the platforms. From Seventh and Biver as far down as can be seen one continuous scene of deso lation meets the eye and bewilders the spectator, who never dreamed of anything So terrible. Everywhere is wreck and ruin. The storm seemed only to have swept Broadway from Fifteenth to Nineteenth, bnt nearly all the houses between these streets, and on intersecting streets, were demolished. From Fifteenth to Sixteenth are mostlv small frame houses, occumed bv colored families. The roofs were torn off, but no great amount of damage was done, and none of the occupants were hurt. From Sixteenth down to Nineteenth, however, the destructicn was terrible. In these three blocks the houses were larger and of much better quality. Nearly every one of them was demolished, but in most cases the occupants escaped with slight injuries. The Catholic buildings at Sev enteenth and Broadway five in number were all blown down and Sister Pius killed. All the other sisters escaped with- oa3njnry' , , , . .

Scores of business houses and residence were more or less damaged, some store! be ing nearly demolished. Dozens of people had marvelous escapes frcm instant death.

THE STORil ULSEWHEKE A Town lu Illinois ?trnek by Water- SpouJ Metropolis, 111., was v.sitjd by a fearful storm, resultiaji in I death of a portion of thi wounding and its citizens and such wholesale destruction of property aa was , never known before. Suddenly there came from the southwest a rolling mas?, appar entlybornof the union o two clouds, which met m mid air and in a moment ' swooped down into the Ohio river and on t lifting were followed by a column of water ' estimated all the way from oO to 200 feet m height. 1 bis curious phenomenon swept onward, striking the river front. From th"r8 it rushed hroU2h the resi- flenew nortmn of tht r?irv. rnAiro 1U 1.S path escaping damage more or less aeri- I ous. A number of buildings were com pletely demolished. Not one of the mast prominent and cotiy buildings in the city escaued. Allen's hotel, Glass Wmton's stove works, the Metropolis woolen mills, the First National bank, Witiman car riage factory, the jail and city buildings, and the Empire flouring mills and ware houses are amocg those who contribute most to tk loss. The only person killed outright was Em ily Marshall, a colored woman, but the list of wounded is Iorrg and it is feared some of them will die. Among the more seri ously injured are: Mrs. Mary Keebier, Mrs. Jeff Shepard, John .Allen, Green Choate, Mrs. Katherine James, Mr. Glass. anomas rxobins ana xtenry iiicrjrms. in-rs were some marvelous escapes, the most notable being that of the familv of Wm. I o j Mathxas, whose residence was overturned and earned away, leaving the family on the lower floor unharmed. Ia the country the devastation is even more appalling. Wm. Bruners farm resi dence and outbuildings were entiroly swept away. Mrs. George Matthews had her leg broken. The Kingston chapel and the graveyard adjoining, gravestones and all, are blown down. The houses and barns of many farmers are gone. A quarter of a million is perhaps not an exaggerated esti mate of the loss. Widespread Desolatiou. A conductor of a Louisville Nashville train says the whole country from Louis ville to Cincinnati for many miles is amass of wrecked trees, houses and other debris. At LaGrange great damage was done to property. At Eminence many houses were wrecked and two or three people were killed. The trainmen report the storm an awful one. The -lightning was I almost incessant, and by its light could be seen dving timbers and wrecked houses. Men. women and children were " running here an I there at Eminence, panic stneken. Port Boyal, Henry county, is reported demolished, and serious damage was done at Pendleton, thirty-five miles trom Louisville. On Lake Michigan. At Chicago during the terrible storm the intermediate crib of the new water tunnel, three miles out 13 the lake, was partly wrecked by wind and waves.

Fortunately a tug went out early in the forenoon with provisions and discovered their plight. The force of the waves was so great that the tug could not getto the crib, but returned to the city, get the life-savin? crew and boat and went back. After a couple hcurs' hard worst all the men were taken off and brought to the city. Some of them were badlv. frost bit ten, but it is thought all 'are- now out of danger. .In Indiana. A Princeton.

It-is estimated that at least fifty building in this county have been wrecked, together with a large axount of valuable stock killed. The total loss will be great. No person is reported killed, though several received severe bruises. Jeff White left hi wife and baby in bis 1 house near the river above Evansville while he went to town for provisions.
