feet long by iitty, feet wide. It had jnst been erected by Young A Kent, manufacturers ot bras-worlc, aod was practically completed, the roof having been linished this week. It was the center of amass of one and two-story frame buildings, nearly nil of which were occupied by poor people. Immediately in the rear of the buildint? was a two-story brick house, the home of Thomas Hulett. who lived there with his wife and nine children. They were at flapper, and were entertaining as guests Miss Lmtna Hope, a relative, and her friend. Mrs. Ada Keown. When tho building fell the force of the terrible mass of brick and iron, wood and plaster, seemed to be directed rearward, completely burying the structure. All the inmates wero killed or injured. Frank Diileny. who happened to be paMintr on the Street and was an eye-witness, to the di..iter. said that he first noticed the rear wall bulging out. The rain was driving in torrents, and there had just been a fearfnl gust of wind. There was a lond crash and he was conscious of a deafeuiug noise which continued for some time as the masses of debris piled on the smaller structures. Then aronn cries and screams of those of the buried unfortunates who were not dead or unconscious beneath tho tons of fallen walls. An alarm of tiro was tamed in, and as soon as the naturo of the calamity was appreciated assistance began to arrive from all directions, and the work of tearing away tho wreckage was promptly begnn. Guided by the cries of distress, tho liremen, aided by citizen, soon began rescuing the injured, and in less than two hours eieven of those in whom life was not extinct had been removed from the ruins. The first of the dead to be taken oat were the (iowan children, who wero fonnd half an hour after the disaster. By 11 o'clock all the dead bodies bad ben removed, except that of Mrs. Mary Walsh. The work of removing the debris will continue all night, bnt it is not believed that any bodies save that of Mrs. "Walsh are now in the ruins. Eight other buildings wero blown down daring tho storm. A frame Hat building in process of erection on Adams avenue, between Seventy-fourth and Seventy-fifth streets, collapsed. seriously injuring fonr workmen. Their names are: Charles Kreckson. contractor, hurt about head and injured internally; Charles Itenson. carpenter, leg crushed: Henry Wickliff. plumber, serionsly hurt in back; John Ladd. helper, collar bone and left arm broken. At the corner of Sixty-fourth street and Chaplain avenue an unfinished building "went down and one or two carpenters were iDinred more or less seriously. While passing No. 102 West Polk street Gas Dieh. a German teamster, was struck by a falling tree and injured about the head and shoulders. His chance of recovery is slight. The other structures demolished were unoccupied. Scores of buildings wero more or less serionsly damaged, and many persons received slight Injuries. The property damage will be great, but no estimato of its extent is possible. IN ?iHRASKA.

Many Dulldtng Laid Wate nnd a Number of Persons Killed. Freclsl to the Indiana rolls Journal. Omaiia. April 1. Nebraska was swept by a storm last night. Tho dreadful tornado ltruck the ctate early this evening and left desolation in its wake. The extent of dcitrnction is not yet known, but reports received show that the thriving town of Nelson, the county-seat of Nuckolls county, is laid waste, and many buildings, including two churches, are wricked at Norfolk. Reports from other points indicate that the storm swept northward and eastward from Nelson with great fury, but. owing to telegraph wires being prostrated, it is impossible yet to definitely outline the tracks of the storm. Tho wind struck Nelson, in the southern part of the State, from the southwest, and reports received indlcato that the storm included in its track the town of Kdgar and other places in Clay county, continuing on to Norfolk. It must have traveled over 150 miles of some of tho linest country of the Mate in Nuckolls. Clay. Fillmore, York. Polk. Platte and Madison counties. Great ellorts to secure news from these counties to-day have been made, but tho returns are meager. In these counties, and perhaps in tho track of the tornado, are the towns of Edgar. Sutton. Grafton. Bradshaw (which was wiped out by a tornado two years ago), York, Stromsburg, Osceola, Columbus. Madison and many other villages. From Clay Center comes the report that tornado passed through the center of Clay county between 0 and 7 o'clock last night. The wind blew from the south to north. At Kdgar it was reported that a number of houses wero blown down and the depot wrecked and two railway employes killed, but the report cannot be continued. From Wahoo comes the news that a very heavy wind, but probably not a part of . the cyclone, struck that place and swept through Saunders county about 8 o'clock last night. It did great damage to barns, houses and other small frame buildings, ( also killing some stock. The violence of the storm was so great that it caused a , great many of the inhabitants to seek refuge in cellars and caws. During its duration, which was three hours, much excitement prevailed. Ke porta from the ; country have been received that considerable hail felL A farmer, whose name could not be learned, is reported to have been overtaken by the storm while returning from town and struck by lightning and ' killed. The damage done is estimated at about ?1Q.X. At Norfolk it tore down a number of houses and broke many windows. A tent occupied by a family named Palmer was ' blown away and a littlo child was serionsly injured. The next obstacle in the path of .' destruction was the Episcopal Church and the residence of C. G. Miller. Miller's house was badly demoralized, falling debris seriously injnring two of his children. The Episcopal Church is a wreck and cannot be repaired. Tho Congregational Church had the bell and dome blown from it and landed in the street below. The church was otherwise damaged, probably in all to tho amount of 2,5J0. At the time there were twenty-livo teachers in the building. At Sutton considerabledainage was dono. Joseph Needon had his family, including 'eight children, in his house when tho building was crushed and scattered all over the prairie, but not a scratch or bruise was intiicjed on any of tho family. In Omaha the wind played havoc with the wires again. Most of the day not a wire could boused. All wires west are down. Many small buildings were blown down, but no one was injured. It was the worst wind-storm visiting ebruaka for years. O.NE HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR. The TTlnd lllew with TerfSfie Velocity In Iowa Great Damage at Des Moines. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Des Moines. Ia.. April 1. A territio south Trind prevailed all over Iowa to-day, which was especially destructive to property in tho west half of the State. In this city the wind often attained a velocity of 100 miles an hour, and more even than that, and averaged at the rate of sixty miles per hour for live minutes. Houses were unroofed, chimneys blown down, fences and light structures destroyed. The loss is so badly scattered that the aggregate is difficult to estimate, but it will not bo less than S150.000 iu De Moines. Three small brick stores on the East Side were crushed, and the tire walls and roofs damaged on many larger buildings. A falling chimney broke throngh the roof of the Mate Register building, and severely injured a printer working at his case. Mrs. C. H. Evans, of llloouifield. Ia.. daughter of Gen. J. 11. Weaver, was struck by a piece of plate-glass from a crushed window in the housn of the latter, and badly cut about the face and neck. At Boone. Stuart. Atlantic, (iuthrie Center.Indianoluand other western lowatowns great damage to property is reported, but no loss of hff. The damage at Stuart is estimated at 515.0UO. It is even greater at Uooce. Damage at St. Load j-eclsl to the Indianapolis Journal. St. Louis, Ma, April 1. The pale that swept through the city this afternoon did considerable damage. A brick wall twenty feet high, forming one of tho ends of Kotte & StelTen's furniture store, was blown down, and four men who were engaged in lj pairing it wero badly injured, one of

them perhaps fatally. Henry Luick. a German brick-layer, was hurled to the ground, amid a pila of flying brick. He was almost buried, and when he was extricated it was found that his spine had received injuries that may prove fatal. 'Theodore Prepper. a carpenter, had his right shoulder blade broken by a flying brick. Ho was taken to bis home. Emile Schmidt, aged twetity-four. was slightly rut and bruised about the bead. Wenzel Mazelack was badly bruised about the head and face. The wind also blew a section oil the North Market police station on Tenth street. Train lllown from the Track. Burlington, Ia., April 1. Officers of the Ilnrlington & Northwestern narrow-gauge railroad received information to-night that their pas.teuger train which left hero at 5 r. .v. had been blown from tho track forty miles north. The baggageman, mail clerk and two passensers wero seriously injured and a dozen others badly shaken up. The wind has been blowing a hurricane nil day, ooir.g muc h damn go to the trees and shrubs. The most seriously injured are: Mail agent Frank McAdams. of Mount Pleasant. Ia.. jaw broken nnd arm bruised; express messenger liussell. of ISurlington, head badly bruised; J. 1). Stevens, passenger, of Hedrick. la., badly bruised internally and cut about body; Mrs. F. 11. Hicks, passenger, of Hedrick, Iu., cut and bruised internally. MAY BE EIUIITEKX DEAD.

Only' Jnst Epcinnlnj: to Learn the Loss ly the Barnine of the Golden Rule. Cincinnati, April 1. None of the bodies of those lost on the steamer Golden Rule have been recovered. As the time passes and the missing are not found it becomes almost certain that the fatalities are: Miss Nellie Maloney. of Cincinnati; Mrs. lie v. George IJ. Easton, of Addyston; Mrs. O'Leary, cook; Frank T. Uiley, mate; Jiuck Warncr.deck-hand; William Madison, deckhand; Mat Homer, deck-hand, and four unknown deck-hands, which makes eleven. This afternoon a cannon was fired over the wreck of the steamer Golden Kule in the hope of raising some of the bodies. Stories are being circulated to the effect that there might have been as many as eighteen men in the bold, nine on each side of the vessel. As the mato is dead there is no one who can state positively the number of roustabouts who were handling the freight when the vessel caught tire, and nothing will be known until the hull is reached by the divers. Diver Earhart and his assistant began the work of exploring the hold this afternoon by reconnoiterlng about the wreck. They fonnd some difficulty at first owing to the swift current in which the hull lies. A porter of the Golden Rale said to-day that he noticed that an unusually large number of ladies and several children were aboard the boat. Ho believes that more passengers than Miss Maloney perished either by bciug drowned or were burned to death. KILLED WITH DYXAMITE. Terrific Explosion of the Work at Bessemer, Ala., ileard fifteen Miles. Birmingham, Ala., April 1. This afternoon the Sterling! dynamite-works at Bessemer 'exploded, killing four men. The explosion was in the gas reservoir and its force was tremendous, nearly every glass in a town ot 5,000 being broken. The shock was plainly felt in this city, fifteen miles distant. Fire followed and the rnins are burning. The explosion was in the packing-houso of the dynamite factory, where four men were engaged in packing and one at the engine. Nobody knows the cause of the explosion. even people in all wero about the building, but only the four inside wero hurt. The killed are: C. Hartley, leaves a wife and two children; Walter Lake, leaves widow in delicate condition; Ed Boy kin, unmarried; Frank Boy kin, a boy aged fourteen. . All were horribly mntilated except the boy. Nothing was found of Lake's body, except one of his feet and a picco of scalp. Arms, limbs, tongues, heads aud trunks of bodies were go scattered that it was impossible to get the fragments of the same bodies together. All tho men wero experienced workmen. A Hying piece of timber struck an old gentleman named Prickett iu the breast and knocked him senseless. INDIANA PEOPLE HURT. . Rear-Ind Collision on the 0. fc M. Train Injures a Biff Number. Srrcla to the Indianapolis Journal. Carlyle. I1L, April 1. A rear-end collision occurred on the Ohio & Mississippi railroad at tho Bennett coal mines, near Lebanon, to-day. A tram going east was switching cars at the mine when an extra working train, running backward crashed into the caboose, almost demolishing it and nine 11 at ears on the extra. The following is a list of the injured, some of whom may die. Dick IIowelton, of Washington, Ind., both hips hurt. Edward Bartholomew of Clay City, Ind., head cut. also hurt in legs and back. J.

ULSTERITES TALK OF AVAR

Threaten to Resort to Arms if an Irish Parliament Is Established. Colonel Sannderson in a Fiery Mood Frince Bismarck Showered with Conjrratnlations Another E'hel Osborne Cate. THREATENED REVOLT. The Ulsterjtes May Ci to War If Ireland Is Given Home Rule. Copyrlpht. 1592. by the New York Associated Press. London, April 1. Tho meagro official rerort given to tho press after yesterday's private caucus of .the Unionists of Ulster cave no idea of tho war-like tone of the speakers at that meeting. Knowing that their days aro numbered, as belonging to the government majority, and seeing that tho Irish Parliament would ho the dominant factor in the near future, these advocates .of .constitutional order under the Tory regime met to declare civil war in the event of a Liberal majority altering the Constitution. Tho wardrum throbbing throughout the speeches was. -however, only faintly heard in the resolutions adopted. . The meeting was held at Dw.ansbine House, the residence of Lord Arthur Hill, controller of the (Jucen's household. Ail the Ulster members were present except three. Some liery spirits urged u plain declaration of an immediate resort to arms when Ulster is placed under the Dublin Parliament, lint thonith menace 'was often used publicly by Colonel baunderson apd others during the homerule crisis of 1SS0, the leaders or tho group now find it prudent to veil their threats in more moderate language. The Liberal papers treat the proceedings as buncombe and .the prediction of rebellion as mere vaporing. Interviews with several Ulster delegates in the lobby, to-day, gave tho impression of an intense hostility to homo rule, even keener than the time when the movement was organized. Money was partly subscribed to arm 300,000 men, and Col. Saunderson boasted that he would respond to the call to a revolt. As shrewd an observer as Lord Randolph Churchill still professes to believe that no fear of this uatnre will in tho slightest deter or alter the Liberal policy. In the meantime the Ulstentos' plan of campaign will be a vigorons agitation in Ireland and (Jrcat Britain, working np the constitnencies to believe in their menaces. An abundance of money enables the chief committee, composed of Colonel Sannderson, Sir Harland and T. W. Knsell. to organize provincial committees, the tirst development of whose action will be disclosed at a convention in Dublin about Whitsuntide. Although the National Irish members consider the matter only a subject for derision. Mr. Sexton to-night called Mr. Balfour's attention to the fact that a crown minister, the Controller of the Queen's Household, proposed a resolution inciting a section of the Irish to disorder. Mr. Balfour, declining to commit himself by any statement, in reply Mr. Sexton intimated that he would recar to the subject. NO GENERAL ELECTION SOON. In the House of Commons to-day Mr. Henry Labouchere moved that the vote of 29,830 for tho maintenance of the royal palaces be reduced to 17,025. A discussion arose on the general question of passing the estimates for the year, in view of the fact that a general election was impending, Mr. Gladstone said he thought something definite ought to bo known nboot the period of the election. Mr. Balfour declined to fix he date, bnt said it was not desirable that the election should occur on the existing old and nearly exhausted register. This indicates the government's intention not to dissolvO Parliament for s6v eral months. Mr. Labouchere's motion was rejected by a vote of 232 to 02. Mr. Balfour's response has involved several important questions. The Liberals were anxious to settle whetherthe election would take place on the voters1 register of 1831, or that of 1S92. The register is generally comnleted in August and conies in force Jan. 1. Kecent registers show a growth of the Liberal vote. Mr. Gladstone claimed that if dissolution occurred in the autumn a special bill onght to be introduced bringing the new register into operation then. He declared that he did not remember a dissolution occurring in the later months of the year upon an old register. Mr. Balfour fenced tho demand. Unable to refute Mr. Gladstone, ho simply asserted that the crown had full discretion to deal with the matter. His response put the opposition in bad temper, and they tilted against every voto of supply, especially attacking the estimates for the royal palaces. Mr. Morton sarcastically protested against the vote for the Buckingham palace rat-catcher. Mr. L.ibotichere advi.M-d that the rat-catcher bo brought to Parliament, where he could catch something, and he wanted Kensington palace to be used as an art gallery and Hampton Court as a Rublic reserve. Patrick O'Brien nrged that lew palace be turned into a house for old soldiers, or for the London peers. Mr. Storey held that it was uncommonly shabby for royal personages to take palaces rent free, and also to sponge the public to keep them in repair. There was a series of similar short, sharp democratic utterances, indicated bad times for royalties in tho coming ltadical Parliament The government members maintained discreet silence, carrying tho votes, with the usual majorities. An episode in the House of Lords this week was theproposalof the eccentrio Lord Denman to limit tho duration of speeches. He said he did not intend to insult any fellow-peers; he simply wished to protect those who did not speak at unnecessary length. A half hour was enough, he thought, for anybody except a privy councilor, who might be allowed an hour. Lord Salisbury, referring to Lord Denman as a usually silent member, said that the proposal reminded him of the saints of old, who wore accustomed to mllict upon themselves the most frightful penance on account of their sins, from which they were notoriously free. Peers generally, he continned, were not guilty of making long speeches. Perhaps Lord Denman aimed at him. He might as well bring in a bill to prevent too much business in the upper house or to prevent tho attendance lrom bemg too large. If tho peers passed the bill the House of Commons might take it as covert criticisms of their long speeches and might retaliate somehow. As he desired perfect harmony between tho two houses he must oppose the proposal. Lord Denman joined in the laughter at Lord Salisbury's fun and tried to continue the debate, but was checked by cries of "Order.'' BISMARCK CONGRATULATED. Many Germans Show Their Respect for the Statesman on His Seventy-Seventh Ilirthday. Berlin. April 1. Prince Bismarck is seventy-seven years old to-day. The day has been marked by the attendance at Friedsrichrhne, whero the Princo resides, of a much larger number of persons than usually have visited him there on similar occasions. The Prince is celebrating the day in his usual manner. Ho held a reception in the park, and had a hearty word for all who called upon him. He looked remarkably well. An immense number of floral gitts were sent to him from all parts ot the empire. Numerous deputations from various parts of the country waited upon Prince Bismarck and congratulated him. In thanking a deputation, representing ten thousand miners in the Bochnm district, tho Prince said that coal and iron were clobely associated with husbandry. He himself was a farmer, and ho never credited aspersions upon the Bochum industry. Tho environs of Friedrichshruo were densely thronged all day with people, all desirous of honoring tho great Gorman statcam in. To-night the place was brilliantly illuminated, and a torch-light procession was held. Priucr'a birthday was celebrated in tlfrcity and other places throughout Germany. A telegram of congratulations was sent to tho former Chancellor to-day on hehalf of tho members of the National Liberal party. This evening Prince and Princess Bismarck and Count Herbert Bismarck witnet8cd a torch-linht procession from tho schioss. It is estimated that there were - .uw.apw... a i .t..w wrvcir7iw.f. a v a.. was the longest and linest ever seen in Friedrichsruhe. Prince Bismarck made

a spoecfi. Ho thanked the people for tho great honor they conferred upon him, which, he said, -implied approval of his actions. "If," he continued, "we hold what we have attained we are strong enough to defend ourselves, both on tho ri t and on the left. Gird everyone on his sword; but we will never commence the attack." - In conclusion, ho said that tho good wishes of neighborly fellow-citizens were moro in his eyes than were the many orders that bad been conferred upon hin. Five thousand congratulatory messages and reinstated letters and parcels have arrived at the schloss.

A'OTIIER ETHEL. OSBORNE CASE. One .Woman Accuses Another of Stealing Jewelry and a Libel Sntt Results. London. April 1. Society has been thrown into another spasm by a rumor that another "pearl case'' is threatened. The matter is being widely discussed and great curiosity is expressed: to learn who the parties concerned are, bnt thus far, haying wholesome respect for tho law of libel, those who discuss the affair are very chary about mentioning namt-s. The fact of the case, so far as known, are that a well-known society woman, the wife of an oCicer in the army, so mo time ago missed a very valuable brooch. Just prior to missing the piece of jewelry the woman was packing a trunk or hand-bag and she thought for a time that the brooch had been inisplacod. It never entered her head that it had been stolen. Some little time later the woman was visiting a jewelry store and was greatly surprised to see displayed for sale a brooch that resembled hers in every respect. She asked to be allowed to examine the brooch and soon found beyond a doubt that it was the one she had lost. She asked the jewelers where they had got it from and they told her it had been sold to them by a certain woman, mentioning the name of her bosom friend. Then the ollicer's wife recalled that this friend had helped her at tho time she was doing her packing and she was left no other option than to believe that her friend had stolen tho brooch. .The officer's wife was naturally indignant that her friend should have treated her in such a manner, and. upon returning home, at once wrote her telling of her discovery and charging her with tho theft. Tho result was that the bosom friend at once communicated with her solicitors, laid the letter before them, and instructed them to immediately begin an aotion for litel against her accuser. Tho outcome of tho case is eagerly looked forward to. Bloody Fight iu Dunn ah. London, April 1.

I beg to suggest that all questions of differences between the two parties. Including silver, be the subjects of discussion.. I shall be glad to meet you.at once, to make full arrangements for the meeting. I am very respectfully, Almux K. Goodwin. Chairman Republican State Central Committee. This has been rejected by tho Democrats, in the following communication to Almon K. Goodwin, chairman of the Republican State central committee: Dear Sir1 am just In receipt of your reply to the invitation of the Democratic state central committee to a Joint debate on the tariff question between Governor Ale Kin Icy and eje(iovernor Campbell. It is to bo regretted that your reply consists of an evasive proposition, and substantially Ignores the invitation to a joint debate between Governor McKinley and ex-Governor Cumnbell at the time mentioned In the invitation or at any other time. Your exceedingly ingenious suggestion that ex-Prefiident Cleveland abandon the meeting and reception prepared tor him and debate his well-known views on the silver question with Governor McKinley and ex -Speaker Keed raises the serious question at the headquarters as to whether you have authority to place these distinguished gentlemen of your party in opposition to ex-President Cleveland on the silver question. As your only reply to our dlstinot proposition is a suggestion too absurd for serious notice. I will say that if you see tit to reconsider ex-Governor Campbell will be ready to meet Governor McKinley on Saturday evening, provided our invitation is accepted by 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Franklin P. Owns, Chairman Demooratlo State Committee. New Financial Scheme. Washington, April 1. An important conference of tbe Farmers' Alliance members of the House was held here last night. The conference considered the financial situation, including the matter of silver legislation. After some discussion' a bill nropared by Representative Livingston, of Georgia, was. with so mo modifications, adopted unanimously, and will be introduced into the House at the lirst opportunity. Tbe bill provides as follows: "The Secretary of tbe Treasury is authorized and directed, upon the demand of any State, expressed through its Governor, to issue to it full legal-tender notes of the government of like denominations as tbe treasury notes now issued and in circulation, and non-interest bearinc These note are not to exceed in amount S0 per capita of the population of the State, as indicated in the census. The State making the demand lor the notes shall give to the Secretary of the Treasury its lawful bonds to tbe full amount of government notes demanded, and such bonds are to be taxable at 1 per cent. per annum. said tax to be covered in the United States treasury on or before the 1st day of April of each year. The bonds are to fall due at the expiration of twenty years. It Is provided, however, that tho State taking advantage of the act shall have the right to tarn over to tho Secretary of the Treasury the full amount or any part thereof of government notes issued any time belore the bonds fall due, or in lieu of the government notes the State may redeem tbe bonds with money, aud such notes aro t&us paid into the treasury are to be destroyed. Kach State, through its legislative department, is to provide for the distribution of the government notes issued upon securities f nrnisbed by it on sncb terms as the Legislature may deem best for the welfare of the inhabitants." There will be between twenty-five and thirty members of the House, and Mr. Livingston says there are a number of Senators who will support tbe measure. On the silver situation no conclusion was reached. McKinley at I'm tucket. Pawtuckkt, R. 1., April 1. Senator Aldrich introduced Governor McKinley to a big audience here to-night. Mr. McKinley said: "I am here to speak upon the differences between the Democratic and Republican parties on national issues. There are two of them -one is money and the other relates to methods of taxation. It is true that in .Now England the Democrats are in favor of sound money, but the great majority of the Democratic party is in favor of tbe free and unlimited coinage of the silverdollar." Governor McKinley then turned to tbe taril) question. He said: "The Democrats say they were always in favor of free sugar. They never were. When I introduced this bill, making sugar free, every Democrat in the House voted against it. They voted to tax sugar and give irt-e wool. Sugar votes tho Democrntio ticket in Louisiana, and wool votes the Republican ticket in Ohio. Protection is for all. or it is for none." . At the conclusion of the address be was cheered to the echo, and then, when it bad
