STORM IN LAMAR COUNTY.
Rainfall and Hail in Paris and Vicinity
Was Terrific.
Paris, Tex., March 1.—A heavy wind
and rainstorm with considerable, hail
passed over Lamar County about C
o'clock yesterday evening, doing con-
siderable damage, the full/extent of
which will not bo known7 until later,
as nearly all wires are/down. In this
city the rainfall was terrific, and sev-
eral business houses wore damaged
by water flooding the roofs and leak-
ing through.
At Rowland the wind was hard. One
end of the/Midland depot was blown
down out/of position, an empty frame
store was demolished and a negro
lodge building was blown from tho
blocks.
ftear Atlas many tenant houses,
tiorns and cribs were demolished. G.
W. Matthews' house was blown from
the blocks and caught fire. The doors
were wedged and Mrs. Matthews and
three daughters wore Imprisoned, fi-
nally escaping through the fireplace
opening. The rain put out tho fire.
The negro school house at Green-
hill was blown over and destroyed.
At Lime Kiln two houses wore
blown down. The Womack family,
consisting of mother and several chll
dren, were caught under the wreckage
of a house, and but for the protection
of an iron bed would have been crush-
ed. The creeks are flooded and roads
Impassable.

HARRY THAW'S STATEMEHT
Much Speculation as to the Effect It
Will Have on the Trial—District
Attorney Jerome Will En-

New York, March I.—What effect
► 1
will thp statement issued by Harry K.
Thaw yesterday have on his trial?
This question which is calling forth"
much speculation on the followers of
the case. It is said Thaw's lawyers
did their best to convince him that It
was bad policy to issue tho statement
and only consented when he insisted
that he be allowed to do so.
Now the question is, what will the
district attorney do about it? There
are many who believo that Mr. Jerome
will seek to put this statement in evi-
dence and use it to show that Thaw is
still insane. Whether ho will attempt
to put it before th<? Jury, and if he
had signed Tommy Ryan, the middle-
weight champion, and Joe Gans, the
lightweight champion, to meet in a fin-
ish battle before his club on Labor
Day, for a purse of $30,000.
It Is reported that Noonan had hard
work getting Tommy to come to terms,
but finally lunded Ryan's signature to
meet the colored boxer. G-Jris had in-
formed Noonan a week ago that he
would meet Ryan if the latter would
make 142 pounds the afternoon of the
fight. While many do not think that
Tommy can reach this mark, he has
agreed to do so.
A battle between Ryan and Gans
should prove one of the best that has
been held for mauy a day.

Washington, March 1.—A. W. Ache-

At the Interview yesterday he told Tobln then pointed out
the President a large percentage <.r
the Texas Republicans were dissatis-

which he claimed has resulted In the
demoralization of the party, and he
appealed to Mr. Roosevelt to do some-
thing to relieve present conditions and

There was a lengthy discussion over |
the section relating to the Issuance of j

the commissioners might issue |
bonds to the extent of $5,000 yearly j

of the city would bo dribbled away on j
unimportant matters, while tr the peo-

took this view. On vote It was de-
