Seven Persons Killed and Many injured at Klver Fall*-Four Ilurned to Death at Duluth—Awful
Cyclone lu Kansas.
LIQHTXINQ STRIKES A CIRCUS. RIVER FAI.I.S,Wis, June 22.—A terrific thunderstorm raffed in this vieinity between 8 and 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Rain fell in sheets and great Hoods of water formed iu the streets almost in an instant. Ilingling's circus was giving a performance in the edge of a grove about a quarter of a mile from the center of the town. The show proper had just been concluded, and as the concert was about to begin a number of people were making their way through the menagerie tent when a terrific bolt of lightning struck one of the center poles of the menagerie tent and more than fifty people were prostrated. Seven were killed instantly, a few more were badly injured and the bukinee are regaining the use of their limbs, which hud been temporarily paralyzed by the shock. An elephant and forty horses were knocked do v.-a by the shock. The list of dead and most seriously injured is as follows:
The Victims.
DEAD—O. A. Dean, J. A. Glcndcnntng, Leslie Glendcntiitig, Clark Mapes, Eugene Heynolds. Charlou Suiiih and 14-ycar-oUl Hon of Curtis Atdrtdgc..
SBHIOUSLY INJURED—Patrick Collins, Mrs. J. A. Olendenuing and soil, W. B. L. Home, Lewis Rosses anil two unknown men.
Crowd I'alilc-Strlckcn.
The crowd became panic-stricken when they learned the extent of the fatality. Men and women surged toward the scene, and it was only by the exercise of rare presence of mind on the part of Messrs. Itlngling and their employes that a most serious stampede was averted. The Ringlings did everything possible to alleviate the sufferings of the injured. Cauvasmen, stakedrivers and annimal attendants vied with one another in tlieir attentions to the wounded.
Stretched on the ground were four men and three boys dead, and as soon as anything like order could be restored they were identified and the remains removed.
The remains of the dead were taken to the village engine house, where some distressing scenes were enacted. Some of the bodies were badly scorched, but the majority presented no external evidence of the shock. Death was instanta'neous in all eases except that of young Dean, who lived a few minutes. Citizens turned out in force to help the men and boys who had been shocked. The attendants on the injured slapped their hands and shook them to restore animation, while the faces of the victims bore a frightened look.
One of the saddest things in connection with this calamity is the fact that the young lad Smith, who was killed, had a blind father and a crippled mother, and the little fellow was his father's guide wherever the latter went.

FATAL riRR IN DDLCT1I.
Four People Burned to Death In the Destruction of the Bunnell Building. DULUTH, Minn., June 22.—The Bunnell building, a five-story frame structure and a regular fire-trap, was destroyed by Are at midnight Tuesday. In the building were four stores, two saloons and two newspaper plants, and eighteen people, many of them women or children, occupied the upper story. The fire started from an unknown cause. At the point where it originated there was no possible source of fire. The total loss is about 40,000, with a total insurance which will not exceed $12,000. It is feared that the loss of life may reach an appalling figure. Four dead bodies have already been recovered and it is considered certain that at least three more are still in the ruins. The following are the names of the victims whose bodies have been recovered: Mary Ford, aged 8S Robert Ford, her son, aged 6 Mrs. Elizabeth Mayher, 35 years Celia, her child, 8 years old.
Several of the tenants are still missing. Only a small portion of the ruins has been explored and it is not expected that other bodies will be recovered until the bottom is reached. The building was a terrible fire trap. It was of wood, without fire-escapes, and its only exits were narrow, dark stairways. The main stairway was blocked just as the fire started by a trunk which some one of the inmates was endeavoring to remove.
An Electrician Killed.
Walter Weihc, a lineman of the Hartman Electric Light company, while repairing the lines knocked down by the falling walls of the Bunnell building was instantly killed. He was at the top of a pole drawing up a wire when it crossed with a trolley wire of the street car system. The shock killed him instantly and he hung on the wire for twenty minutes, his flesh burning before he could be taken down.

They were the First national, Southern California, Broadway and East side bank. A large crowd assembled at the corner of First' and Spring streets early in the forenoon. At 10 o'clock notices were placed upon the doors of the Southern California, the East side and the Broadway banks to the effect that they would not open. All eyes were turned to the Los Angeles national, whiah is situated on the opposite corner. Another large crowd was in front of the First national and Farmers and Merchants' bank. While there had been all sortsof rumors upon the street about the former but few people in the crowd doubted that the doors would be open at the usual hour, but a notice was placed upon the doors of the First national to the effect that, owing to a heavy run upon the bank, amounting to ov«- $000,000, its doors were closed by order of the board of directors.

BALTIMORE, Md., June 22.—Cardinal Gibbons has inujle public the official translation of the pontiticul letter from Leo XIII. on the school question. After announcing- the purposes of the permannct legation and the appointment of MgT. Satolli as delegate, namely, to assist in the dedication of the fair and to act as a visible bond between the head of the church and i{,8 American children, his holiness formally indorses the policy and acts of Satolli in referereuce to the schools.
Many Views Presented.
Me reviews the controversies preceding the conference of bishops at New York, stating that each member was afterward invited to write personally to Koine explaining his views and objection*. The pontifical letter continues: "From the examination of these letters became manifest to UH that some of you found in the propositions no reason for appreheuslon, while to others it seemed that the propositions partially abrogated the disciplinary law concerning schools enacted by the council of Baltimore and they feared that the diversity of Interpretations put upon them would engender such dissensions as would prove detrimental to the Catholic schools.
The Pontiff'* Conclusions*
"After carefully weighing the matter wc are Intimately convinced that such interpretations are totally alion from the meaning of our delegate, as thev are assured they are from the mind of the apostolic see. The prinolpal propositions offered by him were drawn from the decrees of the third plenary council of Baltimore, and especiuli.y declare that Catholic schools are to be most sedulously promoted, and that It is to be left to the judgment and consciencc of the ordinary to decide, according to the circumstances, when it 1B lawful and when unlawful to attrnd the public sohools. He added, moreover, that these decrees, in as far as they contain a general rule of action, are faithfully to bo observed, and that, although the public schools ure not entirely to be condemned (since cases may occur, as the council Itself had foreseen, in which it is lawful to attend them), HI ill every endeavor should be made to multiply Catholic schools and to bring them to perfcot equipment.
No Further ftooin for lonlt. "But in order that, in a matter of HO grave Importance, there may return no further room for doubt or for dissension of opiuions. us we have already declared in our letter of the -Md of May of last year to our venerable brethren, the archbishop and bishops of the province of New York, so wo again, as far us need be,declare that the decrees which the Ualllinorecounuils.ngrceably to the directions of the holy seo. have en* acted concerning parochial schools, and whaf. ever else has boon prescribed by the llomari pontiffs, whether directly or through the sacred congregations concerning the same matter, are to be steadfastly observed."
The encyclical closes by expressing a hope for harmony in the church in America, and asks that while laboring for the salvation of souls, the faithful should "strive also to promote the welfare of your fellow citizens, and to prove the earnestness of your love for your country, so that they who arc intrusted with the administratiou of the government may clearly recognize how strong an in-

GOLD STARTING BACK.
llarlng, Maffouii A Co.. of New York, Ship 85410,000 from Loudon. WASHINGTON, June Tinted States Treasurer Morgan on Wednesday received a cablegram from London stating that Jtarinj?, Majoun & Co., of New York and l.undon, had shipped *.",00,0110 of gold to the United States. This is the first shipment of foreign gold in any considerable quantity to the United .States during the present month and is looked upon as showing that the tide in gold exports from this country to Europe hus turned. l-'or the last three, weeks no gold has been exported fi-om New York to Europe. As a consequence the treasury department has been gaining gold during that period, the net gold balance to-day standing at '•!l,0"u,:S10.
