At one ,plce a steel bridge about forty feet long has been, washed away. The west bound vestibule train, No. 39, I which As due in Knoxville at 2 o'clock in the &f ternooh, did not come in here today. It had been annulled and is side-tracked on thfe other side of the flood, about eighty miles east of iRris- tol.

Telephone or .telegrapih (poles were blown across tracks and trolley wires were fhadly tangled, up.

Out of more tttiam a hundred wires connecting Cleveland and Buffalo not one' was In working1 order during' .the early hours "of the day. Connections between Cleveland and Pittsburg, it is said, are equally bad. TelegTaph and telephone officials de clare that the storm was the most destructive in a lorar time. Long dis tance telephone lines are reported down in every direction, there being no com munication iwi'tih any outside point. It will undoubtedly ibe (many days be fore full repairs can be made to the telegraph and long- distance telephone service. Many poles were prostrated. causing' innumerable breaks in the wires.

Telegraph com munication with all points east of Cleveland has been cut off since early this morning by the storm, which ex tends from Canada to Tennessee and east to the Atlantic coast.

C, April ZO.-nSenator Tillman and McLaurin havia locked horns. TUknan hasv issued a snsn. .tlonal statement, speakdng- of MoLau rin dn biting language. McLaurin de nies point blank one of Tillman's charges and makes explanations of others. In reference to iMIcLa.ii win n speech before the iSouthern Manufac turers club of Charlotte, Tillman says: "$t seems imtendedit o pave a way for the Senator's passage Into the repub lican camp. The thing, which aston ishes is his continued effort to pose as a diemocrat. McLaurin (made dn the senate in January, 1899, a speech which was as ultra and as pronounced in its denunciation of the acquisition of the Philippines and" portrayed the many dangers which threaten our country in consequence as any ever delivered in that body. Up to Saturday night be fore we voted on the treatywith iSpain on (Monday he repeatedly told me and other senators he was bitterly opposed to ratification and would not vote for it. Between adjournment Saturdav evening and the vote on Monday the mantle of-broad American statesman ship descended upon hdm and a few minutes .before the senate went into executive session to consider the treaty he gave a halting and lamtei explana tion of his intended change of front. His vote secured ratification. The elo quent speech which he delivered in the senate was largely stolen from a ser mon delivered by Rev. Dr. Henry Van dyke on Thanksgiving day, tNovemiber, 1896, in the Brick church of New York city wo months before .Senator Mc KENTUCKY JURY-FIHO RIPLEY HOT GUILTY ... Frankfort, Ky., April 20. The jury In the case of Captain Garrett D . Rip ley, charged with conspiracy in the Goehel murder, retired to the jury room at &:30 o'clock this TOrntofr an4 after deliberating awhile returned a vtrdict of not guilty, .t The defendant was immediately sur rounded by friends and congratulated Although the jury was out two hours, most of the 'tdme was taken up in. dis cussing the case in the Jury room. Only two ballots' were taken. On the first ballot ten jurors voted not gu.ftty and two voted guilty. The two who voted guilty said they believed the evi dence showed him connectedwitli the conspiracy but when they learned that (either a life imprisonment sentence or the death penalty must be imposed and that a shorter sentence would mot be imposed, they came over and voted with the majority for an, acquittal. Capt. Ripley is the fourth one of .the alleged Goebel .suspects to be tried. The jury was composed exclusively of democrats. The matter of a requisition for the return of ex-Gov. W. S. Taylor from Indiana for trial is again a theme of popular speculation, but Common wealth's Attorney Franklin refuses to discuss it and up to a late hour today ho application for extradition papers had been filed.

Opo not senci LOCKED HORNS Utterance to Sharp Crit Laurin delivered it in the senate. I have not only had to tolush because Mc Laurin' has deserted his party but hav had the mortification of having other senators, northern gentlemen, speak of the degradation South Carolina had come to in being1 represented by a man who boldly steals the brainwork of an other. The (people of South Carolina cannot be further deceived or misled , by thus man." Senator McLaurin this afternoon, when shown .Senator Tillman's utter ances, positively denied he had told jhim he would not vote for the treaty. His conclusion was formed to support the administrationi in the interest of pteaee and for war only when the American troops have been fired on. The seeming plagarism was due to his secretary's failure to credit the para praphs of the New York preacher's sermon which he considered applica ble. McLaurin said: "This is no new role for Sen tor Tillman. He began his ca reer by abusing and slandering better men . I have a contempt for the intel lectual bully shameless pretender, mas querading as a statesman, a moral pig-' my, .posing as a champion of honesty; and! such a man talks of blushing for South.
