r4Jft QltBAr LOSS OF I.IKE. FAIUMONT, Minn., June 17.—With roar equul to the din of twenty ruilwav trains rmminif o\ er a score of iron bridges a jrreut cye.one swept over the bouthern Minnesota counties of Jackson, Martin, Kuributtlt. Freeborn, Blue Kartli, Mower und Fillmore Wednesday ufternoon. The storm began about 7 miles west of the. village of Juckson moved eastward over the villages of Sherburne and Wells in Martin county, passed lightly over Faribault county caused great havoc in Freeborn and spent itself in the two counties farther east. 1«OHA of Mfc mid Property,

The loss of life has been very heavy —how heavy will not bo known for several days, as raihvuy trains arc abuudoned been use of washed-out bridges and trucks, wagon roads are flooded and wholly impassable and telegraph wires are in s.ieh a tangle that it will be impossible to put them to rights in several days, The loss of life in this county will probably reach thirty that in Freeborn eight or ten, and that elsewhere will bring the total up to nearly seventy, if not more. Besides this the loss to buildings, crops and railroad property in the half dozen counties will reach f!l00,000. The Hoot. Zumbro and other rivers of southern Minnesota are raging torrents.

Seoren Injured.

Scores of people received wounds, and as most of tliem were in the country they Miflfered untold tortures through exposure to cold wind and rain and lack of surgical attendance. The storm will entail great hardship upon those who lost their all, although crops are not injured.

Some of the Vict linn hi Martin County Wer.LS, Minn., June 17.—A most dis astrous hurricane swept over this conn ty Wednesday night, destroying every thing in its path. Its course was from north to south. Houses, barns and machinery iu the track of the storm were totally wrecked imd.a large amount of stock killed! The cyclone was accompanied by a great electrical display. Following is a partial list of those killed and injured:

Minn., June 17.—The great storm did its most destructive work along the Iowa border around Minnesota lake and south of the villages of Wells and Sherburne. Reports brought In by trainmen say a district schoolhouse 4 miles east of .Sherburne was blown into kindling wood in a twinkling, killing sixteen of the eighteen pupils and the teacher. In the farming district south of Minnesota lake many resiliences anil barns were blown away and four people were killed. John 'llrown, a prosperous farmer, one of the victims, was killed by flying timbers in his yard. His wife, John Knglebreeht.. hired man and a school-teacher were injured, two of tliem fatally.

Thirty CriiHhcd to li-uth.

Farmers from the southern Martin county line report at Wells that at least thirty people wen crushed by falling buildings, and they fear later reports will increase rather than diminish the loss of life. Near lloivcn Mills the house ol a Bohemian family was blown entirely away, leaving a family of eight to spend the night in a driving rainstorm.

At Lyndon, on the Iowa .border, a fumily numed Peterson, consisting of a man, his wife and child, were crushed In their house and four other persons Injured. Several people had bones broken at Huston and three buildings were blown down. Spring Valley, Mower county, was a heavy sufferer, more, however, from the llood than from the wind. Houses, bridges, sidewalks and all movable property was swept away by the resistless waters. Considerable live stock perished and much damage was done. Horses and cattle were drowned in large numbers near Austin, and bridges and dams were carried away. All trains at that point are held and people are going about in bouts. In Itlue liurth county several houses were blown down, and a Mrs. Nugle was blown into a troe top, but she was only slightly injured.

ACSTIN, Minn., Juno 17.—This place was visited by a terrific rainstorm Wednesday night. The Cedar river rose 13 feet in two hours, overflowing the lower part of the city. The people were awakened about 3 o'clock in the morning by the blowing of whistles, and when they went to their doors to see what was the matter found themselves in sea.

were crowded in the open corridor just beneath the pede.stal on whush the bronze work rests. Then? was a blinding Hash, a loud report, and all who were under the shelter were thrown oft their feet. Three people, two men aitfl a woman, were instantly killed. All received a terrible shock, but only four were so badly injured that they required immediate attention, rix- Killed.

Was a TerrlWIe .stroke.

Lightning has seldom wrought worse havoc at a single stroke. When the storm came up hundtcdsof people were seeking shelter from the burning ravs ol the sun under the trees and about the arlilicial lake at the south end of the park. Suddenly and almost without warningdense mas^esof clouds rolled up from the west. Faint Hashes of light ning played over the rising clouds, and with the cool west wind a light, shower began to fall. The people who scattered about the south end of the park ran for shelter, and about forty collected in the massive granite corridor beneath the (irant monument. Then the rain, until this time' only a slight shower, be^an to fall in torrents. Flashes of lightuirigcamc in quiek succession, but the thunder rolled low and ditaut and none of I lie group under the monument seemed frightened. Suddenly at o'clock there came a blinding Hash from the east. The vellow-forkod holt struck the left hind leg of the nronze horse upon which the statue of (ten. (Irant re«.ts. then bounded to the northwest corner of the. granite coping and glanced into the corridor. Following the .vain between two granite blocks it traveled along the top id the third archwav. from east to west, and then glanced to the ground. passing along the llorjr and down the east side of the base. To people who were huddled together jn the path of the bolt there was a vivid flash but no report. The next instant thirty-eight or thirty-nine people were lying prone upon the stone Hoot*, some dead, some seriously injured. and all terribly shocked. For tin4 moment none realized what had occurred or where they were. Then tin* ones least injured aroused sullificntly to lok about themselves. Thcv saw tin* result of the bolt and those who were able hastened to the assistance of the less fortunate. It was a trying moment.

Women were screaming, children were civingand some were frightened into a speechless, meaningless sileucc. '1 hev *uiiiinoii I ho Police.

Word was quickly sent, to the Larra* bee Street station, and within fifteen minutes after the holt struck the monument the patrol was on the scene. It was followed a few minutes later bv the llalstcd Street station patrol wagon, ami with the assistance of the Lincoln park police the work of removing the dead and injured began, '1 ho lei litis.

The resellers found Lewis Meyer lyhiir at tin* south end of the arch, with his sweetheart, a young ladv of I'.i. by his side, da/.ed and badly injured by the shock. Tin* young man's face was blackcn'd hy the bolt and lu* stone dead. He was right in tlu path of the lightning, ami. if there could be such a thing as first, he wat* the first to be killed. Like the rest, his face and hands had turned to a dark color. 11 is coat was badly torn and his right trouser leg was split from top to hottorn. Mis right shoe had also been torn from his foot. lu the southeast corner of the north arch was Mrs. .Schiele. the old lady. She was sitting up against the granite wall, and. with the cxccption of a dark hue about her checks, she was apparently unscathed by the lightning. She, however, had suO'cred the worst of all by, its mad, freak. Jlcr clothing was torn in shreds from her shoulders in many places, as if it had been cut with a knife. Strangely enough, her shoes had been torn from her feet, anil they lay near by. ripped and broken. She had evidently been instantly killed. At the time that the lightning struck her she held in her arms the little child of her son in law,

William Hummel. It had csea|cd without a scratch, and when the wagon arrived.it was laughing in it.s father's arms. Mr. Hummel arrived at the

monument just a moment before thi» flash came to take his fnmilv home. 1 lie Monniuciil spared.

The great monument escaped witli almost no injury at all, notwithstanding the loss of life that took place directlv under it. The holt* made a.slight depression in the left leg of the horse, near the hoof, and it chip|cd a piece of granite the size of a man's hand from the coping. Its com**** across the. arch could be detected hy a faint line, and in one place it cut about a pound of mortar out from two of the graniteslabs. Five dollars will repair all the damage that the big monument syi* fered

CIIICAOO,

June IT.—i alvin S. Rrice,

of New York, senator from Ohio and chairman of the democratic national committee, arrived at the Palmer Thursday morning aud took possess -u 01 parlor V. His early arrival is in ordci to see that everything is in readme*.for the convention when it comes time for it to meet iu the wigwam next Tuesday morning. There is a great deal of work Ut he done yet. but ma so much that it will not be completed in ample time. The work on the wigwam is being pushed as rapidly as possible.

The I'rethrtlnhry Organisation. There is not likely to be any struggle over the preliminary organization of the convention. There is nothing the talk of Senator Carlisle arv or permanent chairman. He is hut a delegate and the practice has been to choose delegates for presiding ofliccrs. Tho arrangement made is to give the temporary chairmanship to the south and to choose some leading democrat for the permanent chairmanship. A subcommittee of the national rommittce has practically agreed oil W. C. Owens, ot Kentucky for temporary chairman, He is one of the delegates at large, but is not known beyond the borders of his own state. Henry Watterson is said to favor Owens as a matter of state pride, I though his personal preference is for Gen. Adlai K. Stevenson, of Illinois.

Tho Cleveland t'iui)|mlKii

The Cleveland plan of campaign ii« perfect in its outlines. The arrival of ex-Secretary of the Treasury Fairchdd caused it to be disclosed in all its details. The reverses which the Cleveland people have met in Ohio and Arkansas show that it might be lacking in some features, but the supporters of the ex-president are sure that everything will go through about as thev have mapped out. 1'rom now on none of them will be found willing to admit that Cleveland has fewer than ."IOO voic.in sight, or only KM), less than a majority of two-thirds.

The northwest is the rock on which they rest. They believe that Michigan. isconsin and Minnesota can never be shaken from leveland. ami they are not without icasoii in mis belief. If thev get a majority ns the Illinois delegation under tinunit rule thev nhso count on holding the Prairie state 111 line a long as they need it. If thev fail in nominating Mr. (. leveland, ilas. Dickinson ami others ol the not thwestern Cleveland folks are willing to join W. I. tloudy iu giving Chief Justice Fullet a boost.

Worried by the ilolutf Doom. In spite of the denials made a few weeks ago. somebody has letters in which Fuller's candidacy is fully discussed and i»rovcr Cleveland himself is quoted as friendly to it. Hut this contingency is to remote for present consideration The buoyancy of the Koies boom in Iowa is worryInir the eastern leaders a trifle. They think they may need the llawkeye state at an early stage of the ballot for the moral elVect it will hav but they don't know how to ge about getting it Any promise of a vice presidency to (»ov. Hoie will be dangerous, because it will at once antagonize Gray's Indiana friends, to whom they have been catering, as well as ex-(iov. Campbell, of Ohio, who cxpccts to be on the ticket with Cleveland. In the end they mav fetch llrics with the promise of a place in Cleveland's cabinet. riKhttuir ft"' iiin.

The Hill leaders, together with Tainmany chieftains, have issued an interview which amounts to a declaration of war against Cleveland, with no compromise of anv sort.

Hill men began their battle against Cleveland

hursday. The big men

who favor the nomination of the New York senator are now in the city and are now laboring to prove that Cleve land cannot carry New York. The fight has started in with some bitter ness and no one is prepared to say how it will end. Those who expected that the February delegates from NewYork would come to the convention in a conciliatory mood will be disappointed, The Tammany people ami the adherents of the Flower administration will not admit that Cleveland is a possibility and thev suggc.st all sorts of mutiny and rebellion if his name is forced through the convcation. Hill's representatives came Thursday. Uichard Croker. the astute New York politician and chairman of the Tammany delegation, led the way. With him were Lieut -(Sow Sheehan, one of the Ktanehcst "regulars," Kdward Murphy, Jr., delegate at targe aud chairman of the state committee, and William II. Clark, corporation counsel of New York.
