During a severe storm in Atlanta
last Sunday afternoon, lightning
struck the Georgia Avenue Presby
terian church and the building was
destroyed by fire. Two adjaoent
dwellings oaught dre from the burn

stroyed. During the Btorm Miss
Lula Higgins was killed by light-
The most destruotive dood ever
known in the United StateB prevail
ed last Friday and Saturday in por
tions of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska
and Iowa. In the destruction of
property Kansas City and North
Topeka suffered most. Reports say
many lives were lost, at least 10,000
people rendered homeless end prop
erty destroyed to the value of more
than a million dollars.
In response to a request from the
president, Senator Hanna has agreed
not to oppose the resolution to be
introduced in the Ohio republican
state convention to endorse Roose
velt as a candidate for the presiden
cy to succeed himself. It is said
this does not increase the political
friendship of Senator Hanna for
President Roosevelt, but it is hoped
republican harmony will thereby be
promoted.
It seems there has been much
fraud practiced in high plaoes in the
postoffioe department at Washing
ton and elsewhere. The most prom
inent offender is A. W. Machen,
general superintendent of the free
delivery systems, who has been ar
rested and placed under bond of
$20,000. Ho is charged with ac
cepting a commission on the con
tract for letter box fasteners. It ap
pears that through his endorsement
a contract was made with Groff
Bros, for these fasteners, and that
he received $160,000 or more in
commissions in three years, 40 per
cent, of the purchase price. It is in
timated that other high officials will
be proven guilty of improper con
duct—mildly sneaking.

Comptroller of the Currency
Rid gely has returned from his ex
tended European trip and reports a
most unsatisfactory situation in Eu
ropean business circles. He says,
there is great hesitation on the part
of,capitalists about going into new
projects.. They all seem to be wait
ing as if expeeting something to
happen. There is marked confidence
in government paper but there is a
disposition to await the “digestion”
of present securities aud the wait
ing attitude of those who have mon
ey to invest is aiding the “indiges
tion. 1 ” Generally speaking, Mr.
Ridgely believes that the English
banks are prosperous.—Our Wash
