Electric Wire, and Other Debrl. — Rescuing Parties at Work. Damage Estimated at •A.10,000. Little Rock, Oct. 3.—A terrible cyclone struck this city late last evening and alinos’ devastated the business portion of the city. Several people are known to have lieen killed and injured, while it is feared scores of others have met the same fate. The main portion of the business center is practically in ruins and the amount of damage is incalculable. The total property loss will probably approximate $500,000. The cyclone was accompanied by a terrific rainstorm and the stocks of goods in those business houses which were unroofed were destroyed by water. Struck the Penitentiary. The storm struck the state penitentiary with fearful force, destroying the diningroom, tearing do|vu the stable and shops, unroofing tho main cell building and demolishing the warden’s office. Several convicts were seriously injured, one of whom died an hour afterward. Down town the lightning struck the Martin block, totally wrecking the third floor. A man by the name of Eaton was fatally injured there. The Tilles’ building w:is unroofed and a part of the fourth floor of Gleason’s hotel was blown away. Building. Totally Wrecked.

The 3-story building at Market and Cumberland streets is a total wreck, as is also the 2-story building on the opposite corner. The third story of the old Deming House was blown off and the several stores under it were flooded by water and filled with debris. Damage Not Accurately Known.

Wilmington, Del., Oct. 3,—An accident, the possibilities of which are horrible to contemplate, occurred yesterday at Dupont’s crossing, on the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad near Edgmoor station. That it did not prove to be a terrible disaster is a miracle. A large wagon drawn by four horses and containing a ton of smokeless powder was struck by a passenger train and the vehicle was hurled a distance of 25 feet. Two of the horses broke loose and san away, the other two were thrown ’down an embankment and the driver was badly injured. The powder did not explode. L- Accepted the Company's Terms.

BAWILMANSm Suit Instituted to Compel an Inspection of a Sugar Plant. ACTS ASKED FOR EXECUTIVE. Contraction of Revenue Laws by the Secretary of the Treasury Not Reviewable by Any Court Upon Application For a Writ of Mandamus-Clamor For Government Control of Railroads. Washington, Oct. 3.—Secretary Carlisle and Internal Revenue Commissioner Miller yesterday, by Assistant Attorney General Whitney, filed in the supreme court of the District of Columbia their answer to the application of the Miles Planting and Manufacturing company of Louisiana for a writ of mandamus to compel tho respondents to resume and continue the official inspection of oane sugar piixluction. The respondents avor that there is no law of the United States authorizing or requiring the performance of the acts asked for; that there is no appropriation from which the expense of such inspection can be paid, and that there is no law of the United States authorizing the payment of any bounty to the petitioner and therefore an inspection of his sugar manufacturing plant would be a useless expense. Not Ministerial In Character. It is further contended that tire acta asked for in the petition are executive and not ministerial in character; that the respondents are charged as part of their official duty with the construction of the revenue acts of congress, and that the construction so given bv them is not reviewable by any court upon applica- . tion for a writ of mandamus; that the secretary of the treasury is also charged as part of his official duty with the re- - sponsibility of construing the appropriation acts of congress, and so marshaling the moneys appropriated that the government of the United States may be properly carried on, and that the construction so given and monetary arrangements so made by him are not reviewable by any court upon application for a .writ of mandamus. Oral arguments on the application for a writ of mandamus will be heard by the court tomorrow. Report Doubted. Washington, Oct. 3.—Officials of the Chinese legation are incredulous of the reports from Shanghai that the Chinese emperor was about to be deposed and his place occupied by a son of Prince Kung. If any such coup d'etat is contemplated no intimation of it has come here. On the contrary all official communications show that the viceroy, Li Hung Chang, is still conducting affairs, although it is not doubted that his efforts in the present emergency are interfered with by his opponents. For Government Control. • ’ P Washington, Oct. 3.—General Wade Hampton, commissioner of railroads, was at his desk yesterday for the first time in several weeks, having just returned from an extended trip over the government aided roads which come under his supervision.

Jackson swam to the torpedo and took off the cap, rendering it harmless. He was given a medal for this gallant conduct and was always treated with much consideration by the government authorities. . Drink was his ruin, and after spending much of his time in jail, he finally drifted into the house of correction. Professor Swing In a Critical Condition. Chicago, Oct. 3.—Professor David Swing, the noted preacher who has been ill for two week, is in a critical condition. Professor Swing has been suffering from a stomach disorder and last night the disease affected his brain.
