ONETHODSANDKRISH. Veritable Wind Os Death Sweeps Across the Sea Azov. AMERICAN WRISTS LOST. 1 Them In at Least Well Founded Belief That They Were Overtaken by the Storm—Streets of Coast Villages Strewn With Dead and Dying—Scenes of Greatest Horror—Vessels Sunk. St. Petersburg, Aug. 27.—A wind of death. No other name can describe the cyclone that swept across the Sea of Azov Saturday. It will be impossible for days yet to compute the damage done. But it is almost certain that at least 1,000 persons have perished, some by drowning, others by being crushed under falling houses and trees. The excitement is great among the | American colony in this city, for it is feared that, at least two parties of American tourists were on the Sea of Azov at the time the wind did its deadly work. Whole Village Overturned. The wind was first felt at Negaisk. Negaisk is peopled mostly by fishermen, who were out on the water. When the hurricane had sweptout to the north a terrible scene was presented. Tile village was razed —overturned—as if an immense plow had been pushed through it. Lying everywhere were women and children, de;ul or in the last agonies. The shallow waters of the Sea of Azov . were lashed to such a hight that it was plain that every fishing boat must have been sunk. The cyclone swept on to the northeast after wrecking Negaisk. Its path seems to have been unusually wide, for at Marinopol it devastated the country io a point. 11 miles inland and had its outer edge far upon the sea. Marinopol was practically blotted out of existence. Not three houses in a hundred are left stand- ' ing. It is estimated that over 200 persons perished in this town alone. North of Marinopol the storm seems to have made a turn to the east, over Dolga points, its left edge inflicting slight damage to the town of Berdimsk. Houses there were unroofed and a dozen persons were killed by falling timbers. Once at sea the storm made its full fury felt. Every Craft Probably Lost. Os the steamers that touch at the port of Berdiansk not one had come in at the hour of the latest report. Grave fears are expressed that every craft on the sea han gone to the bottom and that every passenger is drowned. The sea is so shallow that a storm affects it greatly. One spectator says that; at times -he could see the sand 200 feet from shore, the wind appearing to fairly lift the water from its bed.. When the ■wind swept over the northern end of Azov it ' took a new course, going southerly along the coast of the land of the Black were ravaged, each town being almost totally destroyed. Telegraph communication with this district is suspended, and it is impossible to learn the extent of the destruction, but at least 1,000 persons must have died on the two shores. The storm, as nearly as can now be learned, seemed to suddenly lose its force near Temrink, and passed off with comparative quiet southerly over the Black sea. t TAUNTED A LABORER. In Return He Threw a Broadax and Bangehously Wounded a Boy. Freeport, Ills., Aug. 27. —John Lentz, a laborer, has been arrested, charged with attempting to take the life of Henry Wolfensberger, who is but 8 years.old. With other boys Henry was gathering shaving near where Lentz was dressing gome electric light poles. In attempting to turn a pole the man accidentally broke his ax, at which the youngsters laughed. This infuriated him to such a degree that he threatened to cut their heads off with a drawingknife. As they were leaving the place they taunted Lentz, when he took his broadax and hurled it at young Wolfer merger, and to the horror of the-spectarors it struck him upon the fight cheek,, making a dangerous wound. The physicians think he may live.

JUST ONE FLASH. Lightning Kills a Bather, Critically Inlares Another and Does Other Damage. Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 2/.—A ■single flash of lightning, coming from an almost cloudless sky, yesterday afternoon killed William Carr, aged 20, of this city, who was bathing near the foot of Georgia avenue, and' shocked Mrs. Rachel Eanemor, who was bathing with him, so that her condition is extremely critical.

IN DRENCHING STORM. K. of P. Encampment Given an Tnwelcome Housewarming. MANY TENTS DISMANTLED. \ Campers About the Washington Monnnunt. However, Make the Beat of Unfortunate Weather —Arrival of Hoosier and Other Uniformed Banka—Preaident Cleveland Will Review the Parade. Washington, Aug. 27.—An unwelcome housewarming was given the Knights of Pythias encampment in the white city of tents around Washington monument, yesterday afternoon. It came in the form of a fierce thunder shower, which swept over the city almost without warning and then settled into a steady rain until sunset. Several tents were dismantled by the sheets of rain which beat against them and the lightning was unpleasantly sharp. All of the discomforts incidental to the storm were accepted in hilarious mood by the Knights, however, and they made fun under the canvases, as well as outside, after the first drenching wave of rain had passed over. There were reunions and cheers for the arriving companies, while the bands in camp kept up a continual concert, endeavoring to outplay their rivals. Arrival of Uniformed Divisions. Special trains were pulling into the depots and the brilliantly uniformed commands in scarlet, blue and white were marching up Pennsylvania avenue through the rain, many displaying handsome banners. Particularly striking was the Florida phalanx, presenting a gleaming array of white duck trousers and carrying at the head of the line the most famous product of their state, a stuffed alligator. In the face of the weather, hundreds of residents inspected the camp dming the day, trooping through the avenues of tents and crowding about the goats and other paraphernalia, animate and inanimate, brought; by the westerners, who are in a large majority. Fine discipline is maintained in camp, something like martial regulations being enforced. Three thousand men slept on the light cots under canvas last night, while uniforms are the rule rather than the exception on the streets. Review by the President. The most heavily gilt laced of the regalia is to lx) found at the Ebbitt House, I where headquarters have been estabI listed by Major General Carnahan of 1 Indianapolis-. Among the prominent ■ divisions which arrived yesterday were j those from New York, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Joseph, Chicago and Col- ! orado. , I President Cleveland has definitely I promised to re view the grand parade on i Tuesday.

I Simla, India, Aug. 37.— Gohna lake; | Which for some time past has threatened ; to break its bounds and sweep down the valley at the head of which it lies, has broken the dam which controlled its waters. Thousands of. tons of water poured through the valley liks a cataract, sweeping everything before it. Huge boulders were.swept away like.pebbles, trees w*-re uprooted and earned on the crest of the flood, and villages along the I valley were swept out of existence an 1 instant .after the roaring torrent of i whitened waters struck them. The govi eminent, however, had anticipated the t danger and removed all the people before the break came.

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION. Six Mexican Miner. Killed and Othsr Damage Done.

The explosion resulted in the killing of six persons and several animals, besides doing great damage to property. __ LED A DOUBLE LIFE. RELIABLE BUSINESS MAN BY DAY, DARING BANDIT BY NIGHT. Remarkable Development. In the Identification of One of the Chicago Train Robber, and Murderer*—Hi* Career of Crime. Chicago, Aug. 27.— The man giving his name as Gorman, who participated in the Deerfield holdup and subsequent killing of Detective Owens and Police Officer McGrath, and who fought approaching officers until ammunition .was exhausted and the bandit wounded, and who was identified as Billy Williams, a well known character on the Pacific coast, has been again identified by responsible parties as H. F. Griswold, a well-to-do loc:il inspector of the Manchester Assurance company. Griswold’s father is said to be a traveling inspector of the Home Fire Insurant® company of New Y’ork and residing in that city. The people making the identification are officials of the Manchester Assurance company, and they maintain they are ' not mistaken. It appears to be a case of Dr. Jekyll ■ and Mr. Hyde. Griswold had no need I to steal or shoot his fellowmen, but he did it apparently because he loved the mystery and the excitement of such a life, (.'rime lias apparently became a 1 pastime with him, and he is sup; <1 to have found an apt pupil in Will Lake, his companion in this crime, a poor unemployed laborer. During the daytime J Griswold filled the important position of I fire risk inspector, which he used as a I cloak for his marauding excursions during the night . About five years ago Griswold married a country girl and she became Mrs. Gordon, not Griswold. Since then they have lived in various parts of Chicago, their last residence being at 13 Curtis street. Yesterday the timid, frightened wife called at the police station and gave her name as Gordon, saying she never knew her husband by any other. It is believed that the police department, with the help of the railroad companies, are running to earth in this dual arrest a long train of depredations of which Griswold is the center. The story of Griswold’s life is unique. Born almost 28 years ago, his father tried to give him a" fair education, but the boy’s instincts were wild and lawless. He eventually disappeared from home and was next heard of in the west as a cowboy and ranchman. After several years of adventurous life he came to this state and secured employment as a brakeman at Rock Island. Wlnle there he married and the influence of his wife caused him to lead a quieter life. His father, noting the improvement, used his influence to secure the son a position with the local office of the Manchester Assurance company. Young Griswold grew proficient in his new position and soon drew a handsome salary. It appears, however, that reformation was not complete, but just when Griswold began his double career is not known. Further disclosures are expected. No denial is made of the killing of the detective. William Lake, who was so desperately wounded in the raid, is feeling better. It is said he came of a good family and that his father is William Lake of Oswego, N. Y., a traveling man for a New York newspaper. Lake is a casket trimmer and had been out of work for months. He and his wife were on the verge of starvation when he and Griswold made the sensational laid.
