BAYOC IX OHIO. Ohio. Toledo speolal: Re porta received here from Tarious points in Williams County give meagre particulars of a cyclonic disturbance In that part at Northwestern Ohio. The section of country between Kunkle and Montpelier, on the Detroit Division of the Wabash Railroad, appears to have- suffered principally. The exact amount of the damage done cannot be given correctly, but it is known that ten persons were tailed and at least ten others were seriously injured. The names of the dead as far as can be learned are: Schlesser Edmund, aged 64, hurled against a tree and almost instantly killed. Rigby, an elderly woman, had one limb torn from her. Three small children, names unknown, instantly killed. Daniel Barrett, body badly crushed and arm torn off. Mrs. Daniel Barrett, horribly mangled, died witting two hours. Martha Daso, instantly killed. Myrta Daso, limbs broken and internally injured. George Oxlnger, head crushed, body disembowled. The injured are: Lonsriey, David, scalp wound and fractured leg; will die. Miles, Jason, head crushed. Charles, Mrs. H. B., extent of injuries unknown. Charles Cole, internally injured, cannot live more than a few hours. Mrs. Charles Cole, head crushed, will die. Jennie Creek, badly bruised, will recover. Seven others, three of then women, are more or less badly hurt, but their names cannot be ascertained. The property loss is vaguely estimated at between 925,000 and (40,000. It is believed that at least half a dozen more fatalities will have been reported when the worst is known. The section devastated is about one quarter mile wide and six or seven in length. The great funnel-shaped cloud traveled in an irregular southeasterly aourse. Houses, barnes, fences, trees, and obstructions of all Jtindfarthe nath nl ' t.be-sto wCTBcarried away, and nothing was left to mark the spot where they stood except huge holes in the ground. The greatest damage was done about a mile from where the cyclone rose and passed on East Ghastly Find. The workmen at the State Fair grounds, Springfield HL, while excavating for the Exposition building, unearthed the! remains of thirty-two human bodies. For a long time the burying grounds of Springfield were just west of the old fair grounds, and just where the Exposition building is to be built. There is nothing left of them except a few fragments of bones. A silk necktie and a smooth coin -a French piece with the inscription, 'Carolus III, 1793" were found. Some of the bodies are supposed to have been buried for forty years. Smafrrfetl Tobacco Seised, Special agents of the Treasury Department have discovered an extensive and ingeniously conducted conspiracy to smuggle Sumatra tobacco from Canada to the United States. The tobacco is packed in ordinary trunks. It is smuggled bv boat and wagon over tbe line and is then sent by express to New York city without attracting suspicion. A trunk shipped from' Rouse's Point and addressed to 8. Kohl, 184 Water street, was traced and seized as it was about to be received by employes of the tobacco house of Joseph Hirsch.

ILL, reached a crista Friday, when, greatly to I be surprise of the ofelate, a large number of men la the shops threw down their tools and walked out, thus precipitating the strike that has been threatened for several days past. " Bertoaaly Injured a ChndV Mrs. Lizzie Norton was arrested at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for Injuring a child. Because her adopted boy, aged 6, had forgotten what she sent him to the grocery for, it Is alleged that she picked him up by the heels, slammed bts head on the floor several times, and finally lamped on him. i Big Om Pipe Usee in Indiana.

CUTTING TOO CLOSE TO THE BONE. Cheese Paring Methods of the House Likely to Crliple the Indian Service. A Washington dispatch says that the tendency toward economy in appropriations has been so great that grave tear Is expressed that tbe result may bo trouble from some of the tribes, as well as a crippling of the service, unless tbe Indian appropriation bill Is amended before it passes. Representative Wilson, ot Washington, has been Investigating the subject, and he Is prepared to show the House that the cuts on the Indian service go to tbe lone, Tbe cut on the Apache Indians from 81 as, 000 to 190,000 will necessitate a reduction next year of 1,000,000 pounds ot beof mid 30,000 pounds of flour. It Is his oplulon. based on the authority of those In the service, that this cut on food b likely to lead to trouble from 1he Apaches, It will also be sbown that the Indian police servico will be made Inefficient The pay of the officers and prlvatei amounts to S115.500, the police cost at contract price $21,400 and the rations 18,000. From this It will be urged that tbe police servico cannot be kept e indent at the proposed flgnre. The cut of (273,000 on Indian schools will be opposed as aa embarrawment to tbe educational part ot the service at a time wbon increased attendance is showing the good effect of the policy of educating the Indiana There re many other specific Items which will be pointed out as likely to cripple the service and cause muttering and possible uprisings among the Indians, MXNKB3 KEMA1N FIRM, Strikers Assembled at Cleveland Kef ase to Consider Any Compromise. Every train arriving In Clereland Monday brought delegates to attend the miners' convention, and a number of mine operators were also early on tbe ground. While It has been said the Pittsburg district operators have been insisting right along that their men are willing to work at 54 cents a ion If they conld be assured protection. It was not long after the miners had arrived before It became apparent that, so far as tbe delegates represent the feelings of tbe strikers, tbe men are not at all willing to return for tbe same wages. Secretary P, J, MeBryde voiced the sentiments of a good many delegates when he answered a suggestion aa to a compromise. "No, sir," be said; "we did not come here for a compromise, and thus far ta have no such word in onr vocabulary. Nothing short of what we ask will give the miners living wages, and for that we contend, We can hold out for three months, but wo have no desire to do so. For that reason we came to this conference.'' Mr. McBryue would not tor a moment consider the effect ot settlement In different localities without reference to what is done elsewhere. "The only condition under which work will be resumed, be continued, "la a settlement for all the States, as was originally announced." This declaration means that tbe miners and the operators of the Pittsburg district are as far apart as possible, BUSH TO THIS GOLD-FIELDS. Intense Excitement In West Australia News of the Alameda, Tbe most Important news received from Australia by the steamer Alameda deals rrh -aie rush to tbe raining camps of Cool Sards, In West Australia, and ot Wya long, la Mew South Wales. Early In March there were 8,000 on tbe ground, and the number has slnco Increased several hundred daily. March SO It bad reached 8,000. The road from the nearest settlement, thirty miles distant. Is In fearful condition, and the water supply is bad. Tbe camp swarms with men who have had no experience in mining and who fall ready victims to sharpers. Others who have no means and who expected to get work have crowded in. They are practically destitute, and the Government will have to help them out COAL COMING FROM WALES. Thousands of Tons Being Imported on Account of the Strike. New York is already feeling the effects of tbe big strike In the coal regions. Tbe scarcity of soft coal bas already precipitated heavy Imports ot Welsh bituminous coal Heavy orders have been sent, and already thousands of tons are on tbe way. Among the companies ordering Is tbe Berwlnd White Coal Company. It was compelled to order 13,000 tons of bituminous coal from Cardiff, In Wales, and 5,000 tons from Nova Ecotla.

Central Park's Notable. The big elephant at Central Park, New York, called Tip was killed Friday. Ho had been a wicked elephant all his lifo, and tbe men of science wanted to kill him In such a way that they could examine bis organs and determine. If possible, what it was that made him so wicked. They gave hint- cyanide of potassium, a deadly poison which, if properly taken, would prepare the body for an Interesting antopey. Tip, however, did not take It properly. On the contrary, he took it hi such a way that be became very sick. It would have been an easy thing to shoot him and end his agony, but that would have injured his skin, and then it would not have been so nice to stuff. 1 he action of tbe poison was not as powerful as the men of science said It would be, but nevertheless they were pleased to see that It was slowly bat surely taking effect. Nine hoars dragged along, and Tip, dazed with a sensation that no elephant had ever experienced before, felt bis life slowly slipping away. They gave him carrots, and apples, and bread, and peanuts, and at last they gave him bran, his favorite nourishment, and, being hungry, he swallowed It, and for the first time took the poison In tbe right way. Then his trunk, that delicate organ with its thousand muscles, slowly uncurled, two loud trumpet blasts resounded through the building, and with a last convulsion that snapped in two the heavy Iron chain which bound blm ronnd. Tip lay dead. Only Female Mississippi Pilot. A novel proceeding was enacted at a pedal meeting of Harbor No. 28, .United States Association of Pilots. It was the formal Initiation ot Miss Callle French, aid to be the only female pilot in the country. Headquarters were crowded with pilots from all parts of tbe St. Louis district. It was the first time In the history of the organization that a woman was admitted. Miss French is W years old, and knows tbe Ohio and Mississippi Elvers thonrougbly all tbe way from Cincinnati to New Orleans. She spent fifteen years on tbe river with her father, Captain a French, who runs a boat between Cincinnati and New Orleans. Battle In Central Soudan. A battle between the Tuaregs and the Tlbboos bas taken place near Kawar, Central Soudan. The Tlbboos lost seventy man killed sad a large number wounded The Tuaregs then entered Kawar, capturing MO camels and pillaging the town. The Brussels Independance Beige has advices from the Congo Free State reporting that the Mayomba and Lukungo districts are in 'a disturbed State and that tour Belgian agents have been murdered within tea days. Died by Electricity. Lacios P. Wilson died In the electrocution chair at the Auburn, N. Y.. penitentiary, Monday. At his own request be was photographed in his cell. Wilson was ex. ecnted for the murder of Detective Harvey July 81, 1Mb, in Byracusa Harvey was shot through the head as be was attempting tbe arrest of Wilson and his brother for burglary. Cozeyltes Are Defeated. At Green River, Wyo, on advice ot President Clark It was decided not to risk destruction of the Union Pacific's property In aa attempt to check tbe Industrials' train and the project to block Green River bridge with lotdod cars and engines was abandoned. Verdict Against lottan for 635, At Ban Francisco a Jury gave Jobn W. Turner a $635 verdict against Charlotte Crabtree ("Lotta") for legal services rendered in 1881; Since then "Lott" bad left the Mate, and so the statute ot limitations did not bar the claim. Shameful If True. Chicago health nspectors claim to have secured positive proof Tuesday night that other cities were contributing Inmates for the neethooae. Several days ago, accord

ing to HoalAh Commissioner Reynolds, a colored man valkel Into the City Hall who was afflicted with the disease, and who stated that the police of Indianapolis had put him on a train and sent him to Chicago. A few days later a woman suffering with small-pox wondered Into the office "of the Houlth Department, and confessed she had boon sent from the same city, Tuesday nl(rUt Commissioner Reynolds was notified that a Rock Island train was bringing another small-pox patient to Chicago from I ho Iloosler capital The news came from Pe.irla in the form of a telesraru hlch statod that Katie Kelley bad created a sensation at tbe poormaster's office durlnx the day by declaring she v a suffering with small-pox, ana that she hail just arrived from lndlanupolis, where she had bsen ir the pesthouse with two small-pox patients. The telegram said she was badly brokon out, and that the county physician had iroiiounced her symptoms to be tlioie of smallpox beyond a doubt. She was turned oi er to the city physician, and, after oalng detained in the city hall until night, was then put on board a Rock Island train wblcb loft I'eoria at 11:40 o'clock at night for Chicago,

FIRE SWEEPS BOSTON. Hundreds of Dwellings Bunted, Three Thousand People Homeless. A cigarette butt thrown Into a pile of waste paper nndor the bleachers or 25-cent seats in the Boston base-ball grounds Tuesday afternoon started a fire which destroyed more than 140 buildings occupying about sixteen acres of land In the crowded tenomeut-bouse section of the south enl. The money loai is 5000,000, and In all otber respects the conflagration Is the most terrible that Boston has seen since fifty acres were burned over In 1872, for more than 000 famtllo are homeless, and they are the kind of families who seldom Indulge In tbe luxury of fire Insurance. All the buildings on the following entire streets are in nshes: Burke, Coventry, Walpole, Sarsfleld, all parallels allot Berlin street, four blocks on each side of Tremont street, throe blocks on each side of Cabot street, three blocks on the west side of Warwick street, and two blocks on tbe north side of Newburn street Besides the Hotel Walpole twD apartment houses on Sterling street woro burned, three on Western street, two on Hammond Park, two on Windsor street, and all those on Yendlay place. BOGUS EXPKESS ORDERS. By Means of a Plausible Tale Sharpers Sell Them All Over the Country. An elaborate, but in a great measure futile, attompt to defraud by an extensive forgery of express nionoy-orders has boon traced to persons in St. Louis, Ma, and it Is expected that all tbo guilty ones will bo In custody In a day or two, Tho attempt was made on Wells, Fargo A Co.'s express, and several of the forged orders for small amounts were cashed bofore the discovery was made. The bogus papers , have been sold in all soctions of the country. Tbe operator being a stranger, professes Inability to collect from the company because of tbo alleged Impossibility of Identification as tbe owner of tbe money-order. He usually approaches some reputable bouse or person, and bis story is so plausible and probable that the draft is dlsposod of without difficulty, and the oporntor immediately disappears. In such coses tho loss falls on tbo purchaser, and no doubt In this direction the aggregate of losses by these sharpers may be large. BRING COAL FBOJi ENGLAND, New York Contractors Make Use of Low Ocean Rates, There have been 60,000 tons of English and Nova Scotia coal sold to arrive in New York, a portion of which has already been shipped from Cardiff, Liverpool and Glasgow and from Sidney, Nova Scotia Tho cost is within 60 cents per ton of the ordinary price of soft steamer coal delivered at New York. The bulk of this has been taken by the companies supplying steamers to fill their contracts. There are negotiations on foot for the purchase of 100,000 tons more lo bo delivered here between the 1st and 10th of June by the same partlos for the same purpose. From this fact It is Inferred that the coal companies Intend fighting tbe strike to the finish.

The fury ot these murdering bands Is now being wreaked uion the helpless women who are tbe slaves of highbinder masters. It has lonj been an unwritten law in Chinatown that life should be taken for life, and whenever a highbinder has been murdered tbo members ot bis Tong, or society, havo invariably taken tbe life of some Chinese belonging to tho Tong whose members woro supposed to havo .done the killing.

PROBE FOR A BRIBER

SENATE HEARS A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR INVESTIGATION. Senator l.odgo Ask the Appointment of a Committee to Look Into the Turin Seandnl Situational Storlc of Rottonness Are Afloat In Washington, Inquiry I Uem-itMlod. Tho nl'oged uUfmpt t a brlbo Senator Hunton, ot Virginia, ttnd Senator Kyle, of South Dakota, to YOto UBtt'""1 :ho tariff bi'l huB a'-ousad groat excitement in Washington. Tho matter was taken up in t io Somtto Wednesday morning whou Senator I.o ltfo introduced a rosolut .in uutl oriziuj tho appointment oi ll'-e Sone.tora to investigate charges of attempted bribery of Senators in connectli.n with tho pending tariff bill, ani also the eharifos in a l:n;r articlti published in tho Vhiladt'lvhia Press Monday morning con-taiiiitij-fnllegatlons relating to tho influence of the Butrnr trust tinon ' taritV legislation, lie asked for the immediate eonsidbenatob LODtiB crutloa 01 the resolution, but Senator Cock roll of Missouri asked that it lio u 0:1 tho table until the following day. Rumors of tho use of money to influence action one way or the other on the tariff bill have been ir. circulation in Washington at various times during the last few months, but horetoforo havo received littla attention. It ia loirnod celinitob', however, that certain Sonators have" received in timations that a money consideration could bo secured for thoir votes against tho tar iff, though whether the aliened briber had any authority for the promiee is a mattor of somo aouot. Tho negotiations ap parently havo gone no further than lnt.tna-ti.-'na in iha nlark nf Senator. Kyle, of bexatohkyle. South Dakota, and Hunton, of Vir ginia. Those intimations enme from a North Dakota man. who is known as a lobbyist on several scheme . Ho was formerly a member of Ci ngross from the Southern States and was identified with tho so-oolled carpet- bag government. Tho amount which it was intimated Senator Kyle coul 1 receive was 14,OOti, and $1 ,000 wa to bo retained by the man making the negotiation as a commission. Mr. McFarlano, clerk to Senator Kyto, sayti the a attor never wont any further -.han an intimation. He promptly informed Senator Kyle. The character of the man who is said to have m;ide the intimations Mam is the whole affair w.th tho lioal of condemnation. It is nareely possible that any. .-yndieate of porson:i who could control the atnour.t of monoy necessary in order to raako an attompt to purchase votes would intrust it to tbo man who made the intimation to the clerks of Senators Kyle arid Hunton. How Fourteen Ijives Were Saved. The following circumstance occurred at the Capo of Good Hops: In t no of tho violent ttoru.s that often occur there a vessel was forced on the rocks and beat?n to pieces. The greater part of tho crow perished miserably, as no boat could venture to thoir assistance. Meanwhi'.o a plant or came from his farm to soe the wreck, and knowing the spirit, of his horse and his excellence as a swimn?r, he determined to mako a desperate effort for their deliverance, and pur-hod into the thundering breakers. A'; first both disappeared, but v-ore soo;i feon on tho surface. Noarinjr the w.ock, be caused two of the poor soaint-n tc clinj to his boots, and so brought them safe to the shore. Seven times did h-j repeat this Iierlhus feat and !-ave:l fourteen lives, mt, alas! the clgjth time, the horse being much fat igued and :n ;etitig with n formidable wave, the gallant planter lost his balance uvd was overwhelmed inamomont. He was seon no more, but tho noble htr.-o. reacted the land in safely. Very Old Ilnnk Kotes. Tho oldest bank notes are the ' Hying money" or "convenient money" first issued in China, 2ti;)7 li. ('. OriginaUy these notes wero issued by the treasury, but experience diet at :d a change to the system of banks under government inspection and control. Tho early Chinese "greenbacks" wore in all essentials similar to the 1 udorn bank notes, bearing the nimo of the bank, the date of tho issue, tho number of tho nolo, the signature of tho ollicial issuing it, indications of its value in figures, in words, and in pictorial representations of coins or hoaps of coin equal in amount to its full valve and a notice of the pains and penalties for counterfeiting. 0"er and -above all was a laconic exhortation to industry and thrift: "Produce all you can: sper.d with economy." The notes were printed n blue ink on pa) or made from the fiber of the mulberry tree. A Chino-o bank note issued in i:i'.i'.l B.

At one of tho smaller eitios of New England there was an Kpiseoj alohureh which had two uission chapels, commonly known as tao East End Mission and the North End Mission, from tho parts of the city where they were tospoctivoly located.

BIU BLAZE IN BOSTON.

TWO HUNDRED DWELLINGS ARE BURNED. The "Hull" Visited by a Destructive Fire Unit Leave 2,000 I'ersims lloim-IeHH-The lllaze Starts In the llase-ltall tironnds F.irmers Cnngress Plans, I.trke;l t'p by r'himi'4. Tho most dest I'll 'the tiro that hus visited l oston in months started Tuesday, a little after 4 o'clock, at: the South End ball grounds. The scono of tho dova-tation is that section if Ioxbitry beginning on tho narrow street that is the extension of Columbus avonno, and extending to Walpole streot on the south and to the western boundary of tho ball groutids. Tho blao started, says a dispatch, under what I'.ru known as the 2.cont bleachers, and at its inception could havo been put out with a bucket of water. Tho first intimation the aiidionco had that 1. iiro was in progress was a thin shoot oj" smoke that curled up between the seats and spread over a space not larger than a man's hut. Tho whole affair was looked upon as a joke by sotr.e m schievous boys, no attompt being made to subdue the llatnos. The bundled or more men who were s -ated in this part of the Cold roso leisurely and peered curiously over the fence and watched the f'auies. Presently tho smoke grew denser and tiboro tho high board fence a long tongue of flam 3 shot upward. Then from undor the ssats cam? other evidences that something moiv than an ordinary blaze was in progr-s. Tho smdie 'thickened, tho Dames rose higher and higher and in their embrace took in the whole tier of seats. They swept along rapidly, and owing to the tindcr-liko condition of the shell houses it required but a m racnt to engulf the poor structures in what had now developed into a sort of raging lire. Tho piny attempts of tho ii.-e dopart ..out had no appreciable effect in subding the oncoming flames. Euildlng after building melted away as if they had lx'en specially constructed as food for the devouring elements. Koofa and windows of hous -s adjoining the ba-e-ba 1 gi ounds wero crowded with anxious spectators, who hung on to a frail thread of hoj e that their own houses might be spared from destruction. Vain KfTurts to Cheek the Conli i ((ration. Strenuous efforts wore made to check tho flames by tho use of buckets, basins and whatever else would hold a quart of water, but it was liko an attempt to subdue tho everlasting fires of Vesuvius, teeing that their efforts were in vain tho peop!o hastily gathered togethor what fotv articles tnoy could car y and rushed fr m the hotisos.
