Lilly, of Northern Iowa Normal School, came in from Gamer and reports thirteen dead in Ellington township, north of Garner; twelve near Manly, Ellington towniwiip, and sixteen north of Brltt. Coffins for the dead are piled up at every station, and scenes of the wildest grief are being enacted. The storm, as witnessed from this place, was one of Indescribable awe and horror. A funnel-shaped cloud of inky blackness swept along to the northeast, illuminated by almost continuous flashes of lightning and roars of thunder, deep and continuous. The opera house was packed with people to witness a popular play, and a panic was almost occasioned by the warring elements. Robert Stevenson, living about four miles north of Whitemore, was the first victim. He was hit in several places and was fatallv Injured. His grove looked as if it had been mowed down by a scythe.

Furguson's family was carried some distance through the air and all but one landed in a willow hedge. The baby went a little further, and was found seated on a piece of the roof. The wife of Swan Peterson had her skull cut open in two places, and some exposed parts of her head were literally packed with sand, plaster, hair and grass. Particulars are coming in all the time, which indicate that half of the terrors of the cyclone have not been told. The scene of desolation was visited all day by great crowds, every available conveyance being chartered. The destruction of property will not be less than SIOO.OOO. Mot of the farmers were well-to-do. with snu? bank accounts, and others were wealthy, but numbers of the victims who were renters lost everything, some of them even losing their families.

"The best fencing which I have seen in many days was by a young Fifth-avenue woman whose father is a prominent banke;-. When I first spoke to her parents about giving her lessons they objected seriously; it was unladylike and 'dangerous. The younsr woman and myself overcame their prejudice, however, and I was soon teaching the banker's daughter the use of the foils, hen she first came to me she was not particularly graceful, although she had ridden horseback a good deal, had danced and rowed. But to-day she is a marvel. She has the strength of a man In her arms; her shoulders ;nd chest are larger; she breathes and walks better, and she is as graceful as a Josephine." The speaker was French fencing master who had taught the graceful art to miny wom?n of the fashionable Parisian faubourgs and crossed swords with .ome of the best fighters of his time. "You would be surprised," he slid, "to know how many New York society women take lessons In fencing. I could name them by the score. Every one of them who Indulges In the exerclfe and practices It methodically Is a stronger woman for it. I know nothing better for sick nerves. It teaches them to be brave, too. I have pupils who could defend themselves welj, against the prize man of a German university corps, or the fighting memb?r of the editorial staff of a "Paris newspaper. Fencing for women has come to stay." The conversation naturally led up to duelling and encounters between women, which have not been so rare as one might think in this worll. where the members of the gentler sex have long been protected from t.ie necessity of lighting their own battles. "You, of cours?," continued the maitre rVarmej. "have seen the famous picture of 11. nayaxd or a copy representing a d.'el Tctwcen two women. But did you know that the Idea for this picture was mii; fd by a lail between an American wom.tn and a French woman? Such was the case. It was in 1S5. Miss Shelley, an American girl, met Mme.

On? word brought on another, until th American at last called the French woman an 'idiot This was too much for the Gallic blood of Mme de Valsayre, who, it may be remembered, wore men's clothes in the streets of Paris, desp'ta the protests of the police. A challenge followed. As the American knew nothing of the use of foils, her antagonist gave her two weeks for practice. The contest took place near Waterloo. l?5pit the ominous name ominous for the French woman The American girl was defeated, and carried her hand in a sling for some time. The incident created n great j?nsation at tlie time, and the painting by Bayard was the result. The picture has probably done more than the preaching of masters to encourage the practice of fencing among women. "But duels among women have not been rare in the raift. ITnder Louis XIII two women of the highest aristocracy, the Mar- J r.uls? De Merles and the Countess Pe Pulignac, had a duel with pistols in the Bois De Boulome. The cause was the gallat;t Duke De itichclleu. "The notorious Mme. d'Aubigny. better known as Mile. De Maupin, was challenged by three cavaliers, who took her to bo a man. She put all three hors de combat. "A diplomatic duel was that in which the Countess Ixdiska Trautmannsdorff, a torn Pole, was engaged. It was a tragic aTair indeed. A rival of her husband published an article which attempted to make tte latter ridiculous. The Count it was scon after his marriage in 1834 discovered Mon afterwards that a certain Baron Rapp was the author of 'the article and called him out on the field of honor. A friend of the Baron, with the Count's permission, represented the former in the contest and killed Count Trautmannsdorff. The Count a Becond then called Baron Rapp himself to account, and In such a manner that the exasperated Baron drtw his sword and stabbed the second. What was Ms mortification and chagrin, however, when ho discovered that the brave second was the Countess Trautmannsdorff. wife of the dead principal. The Countess died from the effects of the wound and thcvBaron ended his own life from shame." PSYCHICAL RESEARCH. Doubtful Utility of Scientific Investigation of Ghostn. New York Commercial Advertiser. The English Psychical Research Society Is not dead. It U now interested in the subject of ghosts, having sent circulars to several thousand people asking for their experience, if any, with ghosts. The prominent gentleman who is at the nead of this Ghost Club requests mankind to lay aside its foolish prejuuices against the existence of splriutal visitants and to investigate alleged instances impartially. There's the rub. Only one person . In thousands Is qualified to make a trustworthy and impartial investigation. The average man Is wholly unfit to explain the more interesting of Herrmann's delusive and illusive performances. If one is predisposed to a belief in the occult and mysterious, If he is naturally credulous and fond of the miraculous, he can be deceived by the simplest trickster. Even the leading committee of this Phychical Research Society had a most humiliating experience. In the matter of mind readings, or as the society prefers to call It, "thought transference," the members were not deceived In the least by the late Mr. Bishop, probably the best of performers and possibly Belfdeluded. or by any of tht public performers, but they were fooled to the last degree by three little girls, tbe daughters of a clergyman in Derbyshire, wTho were able to tell "without contact or sign." according to the committtee a card or other object decided upon in the absence of the child experimented with. After the committee's report, in which they confessed their inability to account for the wonderful phenomena,. the girls were made to confess the fraud and explain how they had fooled the Fsycnioal Research Society even mors completely than "Kit" North fooled the "Phrenological Ass," as he abbreviated the. name of the Phrenological Association. He had a cast made of a large turnip and sent it to the association as the cast of the head of a notorious criminal Just hanged. The examiners found in tne cast all the bumps that make for evil in phrenological science. Probably no good can come of a popular Interest in the old woman tales which the society asks people to investigate or In any department of psychology. Superstitions will never come to their death through any such process. In many instances the fraudulent claims are exposed nearly 90 per cent, of the "authenticated" cases of ghosts reported from the United States were found to be altogether different from the reports of them but the inability of the investigators to disprove the truth of other cases encourages belief of tho ridiculous. The failure may be due entirely to the lack of proper qualifications on the part of those who make the investigations. The Psychical Research Society has many men in lt3 rank3 who are eminent In literature, politics and theology, but there are no Huxleys. and Tyndalls, and Carpenters none of those who have shown themselves to be qualified to deal with shrewd tricksters. A man may know all that has been written of philosophy and still not be a philosopher. He may know all that has been written of psychology and still be unable to detect the simplest fraud. There is no reasonable doubt that the two most active members of this society, who have written a work on hypnotism, were deceived by the operators and their subjects. They swallowed Charcot without a question, and yet there is reason to doubt the accuracy of many of Charcot's reports. People will believe these old woman tales in spite of anything the society may prove Just as people believe in spiritualism after the exposure of endless "mediums." The persons who are best qualified to investigate ghost stories have too little patience with them to touch them. WOMAX "WHO IS XOT TO HE MOVED. Mrs. Albott, of Georgia, Can He Lifted Only "When She Chooses. New York Tribune. Some sixty or seventy people were gathered in the dining room of the Sturtevant House last evening to see Mrs. Annie Abbott prove how heavy' she could make herself. Mrs. Abbott comes from Georgia, and she has been all around the world trying to find somebody to lift her. She naturally welgh3 a hundred pounds or less, but nobody can lift her unless she chooses to be lifted. She Is not only weighty in herself, but the cause of weight in others. For when she touches children their toes instantly freeze to the floor and strong men cannot drag them away from it. Before Mrs. Abbott began her feats last night she explained that she did not know how they were done at all, and that she should be glad to have anybody present find out and tell her. She had puzzled no end of doctors In Germany, she said, and one of them had written a book about her, which had raised the ire of the others to such an extent that the quarrel between them had somehow got into the courts, and she was now going over to place the weight of her influence and her personal heaviness on the rierht sid1. When she had aid all this, and a good deal more, she called a iittle girl up on t-e platform and called a man to lift her. He did it easily. Then Mrs. Abbott touched the child and the man: the chill touched the man and he tried to lift her again, preserving tho contacts. He might as well have tried to lift a lamppost. Suddenly, as he was trying to get a better hold around the child's waist, the fingers of hi? two hinds came together, and Just as suddenly he lifted the child as if she had been a kitten. This was the key to the situation. Mrs. Abbott said that when he touched his fingers together she was powerless; if he had hid a silk handkerchief between them, she said, so as to insulate them from each other, he could not have lifted the child. Three little boys were now railed for, and they stood In a ring with the girl. A big man stood behind each child, with orders to lift when the time came. Mrs. Abbott touched the children's noses and cheek bones, and told them to look at her and think of nothing but keening their feet on the floor. Then the men lifted. They could pitch the boys forward and tip thm over, they could pet their heels off the Uror, but their toes clung to the boards as if they were screwed down. The next p?rf ormrnr was the attempt to lift Mrs. Abbott herself, and it failed ignominiously. Then fifteen men stood In line, each one. except the one in front, putting the lingers of his right hand on th neck of the man in front of him and his left hand on his back Mrs. Abbott stood in front of them all. and ; the object wis for all of them to give a grrvat rush t once and push her through a window, v.o'ca wis cloM. Thv all give p. rmt pu-V. but Mrs. Abbott was not disturbed. Thise who stood nearest to hr r.iid that se did not seem to be exerting anv strength. j Finally a platform scale was brought and Mrs. Abbott stooa on it. At ner own good pleasure she weighed anywhere from twenty-two to 1 pounds, or else the scale was her confident and lied about It. When men tried to lift her up she weighed down I upon the scale no less, and when men

n o !eaned on her should rs the weighed no more. Mrs. Ablott is sai l to have noises in her head which can be caught in a champagne glass and heard for some little di?tance. She wants some American doctor to explain her to the world and show the German doctors that they are not the owners cf all the science to be found anywhere. A QUKKR HAKUN. Man Who Worked the World's Fair Ue JuJes Railroad Magnates. NEW YORK. Sept. 2i.-The WorlJ prints a story this morning to the effect that railroad men have been comparingnotes and the stories of Emanuel Boeges or Dr. Ilium or Baron Niederndorf. an exiled Austrian nobleman, who his had an adventurous career In Boston. Cleveland, Chicago, Honolulu and New York, and they have arrived at the .conclusion that som one has been fooling them. Raron Niederndorf is the Austrian nobieman who convinced Chicago people that he was about to bring the Crown Prince of Austria to the world's fair. Some time ago he eloped with the daughter of a wealthy business man of Cleveland and en Joyed a wedding trip to Honolulu. At one time he was connected with the Boston Institute of Technology. Ills new scheme wai characteristic He succeeded in convincing General Passenger Agent Iambert, of the West Shore road, that he was agent for T-0 Austrian gentlemen of nobility, en routi for Corea in search of a field of adventure. On Saturday the Karon even went so far as to tell the West SJiore people that the steamer conveying the Austrian party had been sighted and the company omcials sent a tug to meet tne delegation. When the tug returned without the steamrhlp Baron Niederndorf had disappeared and has not since been peen. He did not attempt to get any money out of them, and but for the fact that he talked business in such a business-like fashion and brought them excellent letters, the West Shore people would think that soma one had been trying to work a practical Joke on them. As It is they are puzzled to understand the motives of the Bron, HOP GROWING IX XEW YORK. An Extensive Industry In Which. Many People Are Kncngrd. New York Evening Post. Fifty thousand people assist In preparing for market the hops grown in New- Yorlc State. The area of cultivation is chiefly ia Oneida, Madison and Ot?ego counties. Since 1SS0 the acreage has increased more than 50 per cent. In 1890 the yield of hopi In central New York was 20.0u0.Oj0 ttounus, or more than halfl the total production of the United States, which was estimated at 39.171.270 pounds. This year about 22,000.00 pounds have been picked, dried and packed in New York alone. No commodity is of more uncertain value than hops. Durln the present season they have been offered in large quantities as low as 1) cents a pound, which is less than the cost of preparing them for market. Last year they sold for 21 cents a pound. They readied the highest price ever quoted twelve years ago, when they were $1.15 a pound. Some speculators refused to part with their holdings during the regular season, ani were obliged to throw them on the market the following spring for 4 cents & pound, The home consumption of hops, which art used almost entirely in the making of beer, is very large, often exhausting the American product and compelling importations. In some years, the crops in England anj Germany being liht, the foreign brewers make heavy drafts on the United States, and the New York grower has nothing to complain of on the score of market prices. The cost of starting a hop field Is considerably less than it was a few years ago, roots now selling for &) cents a bushel. cut. trimmed and ready for setting out, as compared with $i a bushel formerly. The ground Is laid out in even rows, usually ven feet apa,rt. About 750 hop poles are required for an acre. These poles are of cedar or chestnut, from sixteen to twenty-five feet in lenffth. and cost on an average 12 cents apiece. The first outlay on an act of hopa is from $125 to UZO. Aihr the poles are in the ground, the hops are grubbed, the harrow is used, tnd by the last of May the plants are tall enough to be t!c--l by boys and girls to the poles. The laso week in August the harvest begins, anl lasts well on into September. A field of twenty acres gives employment to forty pickers, five box-tenders, a man to dry the hops and a superintendent. The picker come mainly from Syracuse, Utica, Troy, OOhoes, Albany, Elmlra and Binghamton, and sometimes a party of St. Kepis Indians are brought from Canada for the harvest. The pickers are lodged and boarded, and receive 20 or 23 cents a. box of seven bushels. A rapid worker can Mil four or five boxes a day. If employed without Jxard and lodging, he Is paid Si or 4J cents a box. To dry the hops in tha kiln-house requires ten or twelve hour., the hops being turned with long shovels during the process to Insure evenness In drj'ing. They are then pressed Into bales averaging in weight 2) pounds. Truth compels the admission that the male hoppickers are for the most part a harddrinking and lawless set, and the gospel wagon -which goes out from Syracuse to evangelize them has plenty to do.
