A number of bodies have already been washed ashore and tho citizens havo forrnod a voluntary police sorvico to patrol the shores and watch for the others.

St. P.vvi, Minn., July 14.—Doath and devastation visited tho States of Mlnno sota and Wisconsin Sunday afternoon and tbo doath list will bo large, Tho Bummer resorts seem to havo suffered severely, owing to the fact that at this season thoy arb thickly populated, and tho losses of lifo thero arc fearful to contemplate.
A young man drove in from Lake Coleman with tho information that at loast two porsons had been killed and ovor 100 Iniureil at that point. He bad been out there with young lady friond, and, having gono affor his buggy to drive home, on his return to whoro sh© lmrt been standing found his companion seriously injured bv tho storm which had suddenly burst upon them.
Other reports of disaster followod thick and fust To the north and east of tho city there are a great number Qf little lakes which arc sought by tho multitude every Sunday, and on tho shores of these lakes many pass tbo hot months of the summor. Lako Coleman was one of these, and the damage thero was very heavy. Whon the storm struck the little lako the boatIjouso was lifted up bnilily and overturned into tho water, and a boat loaded with people was capsized, Buildings woro demolished or badly wreokod. 1'assing along tho cyclone struck Lako Joannn, Lake Gervuis, Lake Vadnals, Little Canada, and passed on about four miles to tho east of White Boar lako. Tho passengers on tho St. Paul & !uluth train which left White Boar at 4:53 woro approaching Gladstone when thoy saw the cyclone forming, and watched Its whistling motion without fear or oxcitemont Not ho with tho engineer, however. 11 saw tho threatening aspect of tho sky, and, with a startled look ahead to see if all was clear, ho took a firmer grip on tho throttle, and the on gtno leaped forward under his touoh. His judgmont and quick action undoubtedly saved tho lives of the passengers, for tho twisting, terrifying devastator crossed tho tracks scarcoly moro than a Ulinuto after tho train had passed. Uolp that had been called for from the atrtoken district was at onco sent
Tho storm first struck tho farm oT James J. Hill, tho president of the Croat Northorn railway, twenty miles north of here, wrecking several buildings and killing thrco farm laborers as well as several head of stock. Tho fury of tho storm was fearful and every thing In its path was swept away.
Elovon people wero Instantly killed at tho small town of Vadnals. on the lino of tho St. Paul A Pulnth road, si* mllos north of hero, and tho village wreaked. Not a building was loft standing in a sound condition, while tho groat majority of them wore blown to pleooR, tho inmates sufforing doath without warning.
Tho place whoro tho cyclono struck tho ground and caused loss of lifo was on tho shore of Lake Gervals, where J. H. Schurmelor, of this city, had a sum mor cottage in a little basin where Simon Good was also located. Tho funnel-shaped cloud swooped down on them, demolishing tho dwell ings nnd a nmnbor of other buildings tn tho same neighborhood. The camp of Colonel llelleser, of this city, was blown down, but the party oscapod injury. In the wreck of the Schurmelor and Good bouses, however, fivo wore killed and ten injured. ffMrs. J. 11. Schurniclcr, Charles
Schurniclcr, of
St. Paul Hev. Mr. Pluietlcr, of llrcnnan, Tex, George Miller, of tlic First National Bank of tills city, anil Schurmoler's driver.
Tho bodies of Mrs. Schurmelor, her son and Mr. l'haoficr have not yet boon found. Tho injured numbor ten. It is said that the cyclono was confined to a district only three and a half mllos long, and that the worst damage was within a limit of half a mllo.
Goorge Hazard, a laborer in tbo employ of tho ill-fated Schurmelor family, reached St. Paul a few minutes after midnight and reports that tho list of tho doad at Coloman's and Gorvals will certainly reach twenty. Ttiroo bodies wero takon out of the lako last night Botweon 4:45 and 5:!i0 tho boatman at Coloman's let Bixteen row-boats, each of which carricd from two to live persons, and only foui of the sixteen have roturned. Many of these people woro no doubt drowned.
At Coleman's also tho tornado picked up the house of Joseph Lutroux and carried it far out Into tho lako Mrs. Lutroux and her little 4-year-old daughter wero in tbo houa» and both were drowned.
For three miles along the shoro of the lake the road from St. Paul runs within a fow feet of tho water, rflong tho lino of this highway tho wator is full of buggies, wagons, horses, broken trees and the debris of houses. It is practically cortaln that many people wero blown into the lako and drowned, though no bodies have been recovorod. Every thing is confusion, and the rain was so heavy that It is almost impossible to makoany hoadway In the wreckage and wasto of wator. Many farm houses along the
C11AWFORDSY1LLE, INDIANA- MONDAl. JULY H, IBgO
in some places portions of them wore carried a mile. On tho Gervaise road, four miles north of tho city, the house of Nathaniel Gotzky, containing twelve porsons, was completely demolished, two children wero killed and six other porsons so badly crushed that thoy aro not 0Kpoctod to recover. Four of thera bad gono into tho cellar and tho wind slid tho house from its foundation, dr pplng its "sleepers" upon them.
At North St. Paul the wind blow down a furnlturo factory and several dwellings, and two persons were killed, both of them by lightning.
At Minnehaha it hailed for ton minutes, the stones being as large as hon's eggs, and broke a largo quantity ol glass.
Midnight reports from Little Canada, a village of !00 people sovon roilos from St Paul, indicate that tho cyolone struck that 'plaeo with full forco. Twolvo houses were blown down, thrco pooplo killed and olght or ton injured.

Aid Averts a Disaster. Janesvilt.k, Wis., July l4^0no hundred passongcrs thundered toward doath on the Chicago & Northwestern-through expross north of this city Saturday. Ovor switches t..at woro clanged shut baroly in tim» to keep tho train from destruction, nlong strotchos of track where other trains wore rushod Into side tracks and out of danger by frightened trainmen, who realized something to bo wrong, -and past tho depot platforms, where people watched in wonder, the train sped without a pause. On tho floor of tho tondor lay Engineer Stovo Houghtellng, a man of masslvo build, powerless in the grasp of a maniuo. The Insane man, his face blackened by oo»l dust* hte clothing stripped almost from his body In the life »nd doath struggle, and his shouldorg Covered with blood, brandished a wrench which he had clutchod from tho engine tool-box. Both his arms were la tho grasp of the almost despairing man beneath him, but men on tho dopot platform at Clyman, ono of tho towns through which tho train shot, could sec that he had nearly freed hlmsolt And that in another moment unless some help should come, the murderous bios* of tho wronch would fall
Tho maniao was Engineer flougtktoling's fireman, G. L. Hastings Noai Watertown ho had stopped from tho cat tocoal up. Ilo did not return, and Engineer Houghteling roached back from his seat, pulled aside tho cab curtain and looked out As the curtain moved aside Hastings bounded in from the tondor. Ills face was distorted as if In agonj and tbero was in his oyos a look which Engineer Houghteling could only liken to that of a wild beast Ho clutched the onginoer about tbo neck and throw him headlong to tbo swaying foot board. There tho two struggled as .tho train dashed on undor a full hood of s*,nam. Onco tho engineer all but dropped to tho rails beneath. Ho recovered himself by a desperate effort, but could do nothing moro than to save himself from tho blows of tbo insane man's weipons. Tho ongine, loft without frosh fuol, was slowing losing steam, but still rushed on at a rato that could mean nothing loss than a fearful tragedy at the first switch left unturned. As tho train swept past Clyman without stopping, however, the passengers and train orew realized that something was wrong and a party hurried forward. Writhing and struggling among the blocks of coal on tho tender thoy saw the onginoer and his maniac assistant. Hastings was overpowered and taken to the bag-gage-car. A moment afterward he fainted. Consciousness did not return until twelve hours later. Tho intensely hot woathor, mado moro trying by tho temperature of tho cab, Is giveo as tho cause of his insanity, and thero ate fears that hp can not recover. Engineer Houghteling was almost prostrated by Steam and tho shock to which he had been subjected, but insisted on taking the throttle for tho remainder of his run. :y

ROYAL is the only Baking Powder Absolutely Pure.
The only Baking Powder yet found by chemical analysis to be entirely free from both lime and alum and absolutely pure, is the Royal."

Government, who made the analyses for the New York State Board of Health in their investigation of baking powders, and whose intimate knowledge of the ingredients of all those sold in this market enables him to speak authoritatively, says of the purity, wholesomeness and superior quality of the Royal
I have tested the Royal Baking Powder, and find it composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar powder, and does not contain either alum or phosphates, or other injurious substance.
