The county poor farm west of the city was almost entirely wrecked. The main building of the institution, constructed of brick and stone, was demolished and the occupants barely escaped with their lives. Lincoln College, which was on the north boundary of the storm's path, was partly unroofed. Thp large campus, covering eleven acres, is a mass of wrecked trees. In this city the worst damage was done to the Lincoln mattress factory. The brick building was almost destroyed, the third ftcry being blown off and the roof carried 3L hundred yards and dropped on the Chicago & Alton right of way. The roller four mil'.s on the south line of the storm's path wci? strurk and a large hole was bored thrcigh the brick building from east to west. The residence of Mayor Miller was crushed in by falling trees and the family sought shelter from the ftnrm at a neighbor's house. Several store buildings were unroofed and the torrents of rain which accompanied the wind Hooded the Blocks, causing great damage. Reports from Middletown. in the southwestern portion of the county, show that the Warren grain elevator was blown from its foundation and that a number of stores were unroofed. New Holland, flurtonview. Season and Mount Pulaski wero also touched by the tornado.

In addition to the election of a senator the next Legislature will have the apportionment of the State under the last census for legislative and other state districts, as well as for congressmen, and also the consideration of an important issue on "local cptlor." The contest between the parties tor control of the Legislature this year will be the most animated one in the history of the State, as the partisan advantages to be gained'in the formation of the districts will last until the next census, in 1910. under the Ohio laws. Senator Foraker, as the star campaigner in thl3 contest, has been selected ns the temporary chairman of the convention, and he will deliver the keynote speech on th? assembling of the convention at 4 p. m. to-morrow.

At the head of the Mahoning county delegation Is Asa W. Jones, who was Lieutenant Governor under the Buhncll administration and who Is prominently mentioned for the iifxt nomination for Jovernor. Another candidate for the gubernatorial nomination two years hence is ex-Representative Harry M. Daugherty. of Fayette, who is at the head of a delegation whose sent?? are contested. Owing to factional interests the contest over the Iaugherty ami the Marchant delegations from Fayett county Is causing considerable agitation.

The game was not won till the last man was out. It was a beautiful pitchers' battle between Alloway and Wicker, and but for the eighth inning the men were as nearly evenly matched as possible. Wicker struck out twelve men. He had brilliant support except in his catcher, who allowed five visitors to steal our bases, and four of these steals aided Indianapolis in the scoring. Hickey scored in the third for Indianapolis. Up to the seventh It looked like a clean shut-out for Dayton, but then three hits, including Wheeler's triple, gave the locals two runs. This surprised the visitors, but they rallied in the eighth, and hits by Fox. Rey and Kelley put Indianapolis again in the lead. Dayton's run in the last Inning was due to Alloway's failure to cover first base. Score: Dayton. A.R. H. O. A. K.

NEW YORIC, June 23. After five and one-half hours of discussion the members of the Protective Association of Professional Raseball Players, who met to-day in this city, re-elected Charles Zimmer president, thus, it is claimed, vindicating hl3 course In regard to the agreement he signed suspending National League players who signed with the American League, and in so doing violated the "option" or "reserve" clause of their contracts. After having been re-elected. President Zimmer resigned and Tom Daly, of the Brooklyn club, was elected president. All Zimmer wanted, he said, was to show that his associates approved his course. The meeting was a stormy one from the start and resulted in a vote deciding that the "option" or "reserve" clause in contracts is not binding and will not be heeded by players in the future. This decision Is following the precedent established by the Philadelphia court In the Lajole case. The meeting had hardly opened before a petition came in from DufT, Donlin, Griffith. Hawley. Cross, F. A. Jones, "Cy" Young, "Ted" Lewis and others, suspended members of the National League, and members of the Am?rican League, asking that they bo admitted to the meeting. Hot discussion followed when this was put before the members, resulting finally in the American League members being admitted and the suspension raised. This suspension, President Zimmer declared, had been only temporary. Each club represented at Xhn meeting had one vote. Detroit had no representative present. When the question of the election of officers came up there was great tension, every one realizing that it meant either sustaining or rejecting the action of Zimmer, and every member of the National League stood by him. Dole Gear, of Washington, had been nominated for the office of president as an opponent of Zimmer, and the vote was exceedingly cloe 8 to 7. Dole Gear was elected secretary, former Secretarv Jennings announcing that an he had to attend Cornell this winter hecould not attend to the duties of the office properly. Frank Donahue was made treasurer. The meeting adjourned subject to the call of the president. TInscbnIl Xoten. The game between the Marotts, of Indianapolis, and the Hamilton.

The strike in the factory of the National Cash Register Company at Dayton, O.. the course of which has been noted in this newspaper, has ended in the complete surrender of the labor union. This has happened after the workmen have lost $120.Oi0 In wages In order to tlnd out whther the company could and would discharge men for incompetency and Improper conduct. At Depew. N. Y., the 500 machinists and others who struck in the shops of the New York Central Railroad have returned to work, in accordance with orders received from the convention of the International Association of Machinists at Toronto, which decided after Investigation that the strike had been too hasty. In both these cases the principal charge against the labor leaders Is folly. In Paterson, X. J., however, where Mary Jane McMahon was hounded until she finally took refuge In a convent, simply because she was satisfied with the wages she had been receiving for the last ten years, the charge is clearly one of cowardice and cruelty. Of course, argument Is wasted on men heated by passion; but in these days of rapid diffusion of knowledge, both employers and employed should be able to read in current events the lesson that two principles are pretty clearly established In labor disputes no strike can succeed when public opinion is strongly against It; In this country we are fortunate in having a most wholesome opinion against the side which is guilty of folly, bad faith, or violence.

The Shah's life is not believed to be immedi ately endangered by his hereditary enemy, gout, but it will necessarily partly Incapac itate him from business. In spite of the usual denials, the visit of Emperor William of Germany to Russia this summer is not regarded as beyond the probabilities. The maneuvers at Grodno will embrace several army corps, and the descent upon the rlnnish coast, combining army and navy movements, promises unurual interest. On the other hand it is denied that the Czar has sent out any invitations to the Balkan sovereign?. The Ministry of Agriculture has sent a committee to investigate the many medicinal springs of the Transbaikalia region, which have long enjoyed local celebrity among the tea traders of Klakhta. The Russian steamer Admiral Korniloff has returned from Its trip to the Persian gulf. Notwithstanding government support and the low freight rates offered, it is with some disappointment that the results of the trip are counted upon. The prospect of driving the British t'.ag from the Persian gulf or even of competing with British merchants is, in the opinion of the St. Petersburg Viedomostl. exceedingly small. The St. Petersburg municipality is fighting the proposed hundred-million-dollar overhead railroad tooth and nail. Another transportation enterprise is meeting with greater favor. The technical section of the City Council has approved M. Romanoff's model of an electric omnibus, and is advocating the granting of a concession for a number of streets, the fare to be lixed at 6 copecks 3 cents. The municipality Is also preparing to carry out another project which has long been discussed the tilling of the lowlands near the mouth of the river, so as to avoid inundations. A fill of nine feet will be required. In the near future dredging in the harbor will be begun, so that ships of seventeen feet draught may be accommodated. The Seeate of Finland has before It the project of a canal directly connecting the Gulf of Finland with Lake Ladoga, using the Vuota river. The preliminary estimate is 800,000 Finnish marks. Constantinople correspondence says recent investigations prove the province of Anatolia to be rich In copper, pewter, manganese and sulphur ores, naptha and coal. Rut, the Sublime Porte is unwilling to permit foreign exploitation. The formation of a so-called agricultural syndicate Is announced. It seems to be modeled after the American Orange and Farmers Alliance and the German Agrarian League, etc.. excepting, of course, the political programmes of these organizations. It is intended to establish direct relations between Russian agriculturists and foreign markets, on the one hand, and the manufacturers of agricultural supplies cn the other. JEALOtS OF El LAU A. Gönnten IJr Cnntellnne Resent Uns bnnd'a Attention to the Infnntn. NEW YORK, June 23. A special dispatch from Paris says: The reception given here by the Count and Countess de Castellane at their new house continues to form a favorite topic of conversation, not only because of the number of guests, which exceeds two thousand, but likewise because of the irritation which the countess manifested at the attention with which her husband overwhelmed the Infanta Eulalie. It Is perfectly true that the latter Was the star guest, having been so far the only royal personage to cross the threshold of the Castellane mansion, but Roni's devotion to the Princess was so exaggerated and extravagant as to excite amusement and ridicule on the part of the less exalted guests, whom he so completely neglected for her sake. That the young American countess was thoroughly angry could readily be seen, and there were some present who did not hesitate to express concern lest there should be then and there a scene similar to that memorable one which brought to so sudden a close the yachting party of the Castellanes a few years ago. However, a denouement of this kind was averted, and since then an endeavor has been made to proplate yourp Mme. de Castellane by causing her to be invited to an afternoon reception given by Queen Isabella, who showed herself very gracious.

LIKE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) Clinch valley section, which extends south from Graham, Va. No lives, however, are reported to have been lost along this valley. The next iraln from Rluefield. which is the farthest point west from which the trains are running. Is due here-at midnight, but the railroad officials tell the Associated Press correspondent at this hour (9:30 p. m.) that this train is now two hours and a half late and probably will not reach here before after 3 o'clock a. m. The dispatcher's office says at this hour that they have heard nothing further than that stataed above and that It is not thought there has been any further damage by rains to-day. A message reached the Associated Press to-night from Coaldale, W. Va., fourteen wiles west of Rluefield, saying that there had been an immense loss of property and some lives at, that point. The town of Keystone, which Is said to have been swept away, all save one saloon, is said to have contained thirty-four other barrooms." The Western Union telegraph operator at Rluefield wired the Associated Press correspondent at 9 o'clock that the loss of life at lowest estimate is two hundred. He says there is one wire ' now working through to Ennis, eighteen miles west of Bluefield. but that this wire is monopolized by the railroad people. RAILWAY SLFFEHED. Losa "Will neach $500,000 The Kl till orn Valley Very Xarrow. ROANOKE, Va., June 23. The railroad people ray it will be at least five days be fore their lines are open for trains. They have been sending work trains to the storm-stricken district from all directions. The loss to the railroad will reach a $500,000. A private message from Bramwcll, V. Va., on SImmonscreek, says great damage was done there, but no loss of life had been reported up to the time the telegram was sent. The little town of Vivian, at which place the railroad yards were swept away and a passenger train flooded, Is the shipping point of all west-bound coal and coke, and there is a succession of prosperous mining towns extending all the way to Pocahontas, Va. Nearly every mile post along this portion of the road marks a mining operation. At North Fork Junction. seven miles from Vivian, there Is a branch road extending five and one-half miles up the north fork of the Elkhorn to several prosperous mining plants. From Cooper, eleven miles further, a branch road extends through the Rlucstone district of the coal field to Goodwill, and another to Rramwell, a town of about G00 inhabitants. It is the home of many of the coal operators, and their handsome residences have no doubt suffered greatly from the storm. Rramwell is the headquarters of the Flat Top coal L.ana Association. The town Is reput ed to be the richest town per capita in West Virginia. " Nothing has been heard from Tazewell. Va.. to-day, but a message from that place aiuroay nigni saia mere had been a terrible rainfall and that three children in one family were drowned. Tazewell Is In the Clinch valley division of the Norfolk & Western Railway, nine miles from TJp Top. which is the highest railroad point east of the Rocky mountains. It Is known that the damage to crops and to buildings in Tazewell county is great, and It Is feared that the death list, now numbering three children, will be enlarged when later de tails come In. The territory of the Elkhorn valley Is a narrow strip extending for miles through the mountains, with here and there a connecting mountain stream flowing into it. The valley is not over JSH) yards wide at any place, and sometimes for miles there is barely enough level land for a road bed. The mountains rise abruptly on either side. and through thl3 ravine-like mountain way the Norfolk Western Railway extends for more than one hundred miles. It is in this district that many mining towns have sprung up. Hundreds of telegraph poles are being shipped from Richmond and Roanoke to the West Virginia coal fields to replace those destroyed. The telegraph people are exhausting every means to open up communication, and already have sent a. number of gangs or linemen, builders and workmen with carloads of material to rebuild their lines, and it Is now thought It will be possible to resume telegraphic communication between Rluefield and Kenova by Tuesday or Wednesday. .

Mr. Fink was In receipt of a dispatch from General Manager L. E. Johnson, of the system. Mr. Johnson's headquarters are in Roanoke, Va., from which place he telegraphed. He said the loss of life was reported to be very large, and that it was estimated that about 2u0 persons had perished. The damage to Norfolk & Western property, he -Hjted, was to rails and bridges on the Rlucstone and North Fork branches. Mr. Fink said: "The amount of money loss cannot at present be estimated. As to the loss of life the country I not very thickly fettled around-there, and I cannot but believe fiat it has been exaggerated. It Is In the coal regions and the people are principally miners. The flood must have been due to a cloudburst, as the dispatch from Mr. Johnson states that the damage to our property is on the Rluestona and North Fork branches, one of which is east and the other west of the Flat Top mountains." iiotsi; CAIGIIT IIV lamlsliih:.

FOREIGN TRADE AND FINANCE, The Increase of the capital of Vickera Sons & Maxim by JCl.om.mX) In ordinary shares, has been a subject of con&iderab! speculation as well are rather adverse comment in London. A large portion of the German publlo continues Investing in low Interest government loans, especially In the Imperial three-and-a-halfs. which on Thursday reached par for the first time since their emission in 1897. Prussian consols advanced, as did also Spanish and Argentine government securities. Mining stocks showed a rise. Transvaal railroad vacillated, rising upon rumors that the German stockholders would be fairly treated by Great Rritaln. During the past week prices have been firm at Manchester, Lngland, with a tendency to harden, though altogether business has been rather quieter and weakened after the active cloth market in the earlier part of tho week. A fair amount of business has been booked from China in the past ten days and the Immediate demand is largely satisfied. Yarns have been ?!rm. Sellers have not been making satisfactory progress, although a better demand of some descriptions for shipping has resulted in fair business. The Deutsche Tages Zeltung, on the strength of the poor crops In the eastern Prussian provinces, predicts a general decline in the indutrial line, a bad winter and disastrous effects upon the bourse this year, as well as in 1C02. The Frankfurter Zeitung. In its Issue of yesterday, takes a Flmllar though more moderate vit w regardthe monetary improvement on the bourse, which it considers to (.unwarranted by facts. This latter paper says that the liquidation at the end of the month will probably be quietly effected. Attention, which was not altogether mournful, was directed at London last week to the difficulties threatening th eight German engineering, railway and electrical companies through th failure last week of th Kummer Electric 'ompany. It it not believed that a disaster Involving all these clht German enterprises cannot be averted, but the occurrence la pointed out as an indication that the German manufacturers have been ovcrstlmulated under the Intoxication of that race for commercial supremacy in which the German empire did not have the sound basis and natural resources which made the United States so formidable a competitor to the United Kingdom. A slight Improvement set In during the past week on the Ilerlln bourse, beginning Thursday, which was the ttrst day In som time that no failure or more Important financial dilllcultles were reported. The general tone of the market Improved and a quiet bullish movement followed, on London advices, in consideration of the Pacifies. There was considerable trading in industrials and bank shares. The Improvement that began Thursday was continued. It is but slight, however, and was partlaliy fed by Umperor William's speech at Cuxhaven and the news from London of the Queen's Hall pro-!toer mass meeting, which has been interpreted here as a Mgn of th approaching settlement of the South African difficulties. In spite of easy money and a cheerful American outlook, last week was dull on the London Stock Exchange. The ttagnation was nominally attributed to the Ascot races, as previous stagnation was nominally attributed to the Derby and the Oaks. It is true that many Influential persons are absent, bent n holiday making at the race course, but the dullness on the Stock Exchange Is the cause rather thnn the effect of their absence. During the past weclc business w:is almost nil; consequently, the market Is very sensitive to selling, which Is the form taken by most of the transactions nowadays. Despondency has hcome to be regarded as the normal tone of the market. Consols went down from to 7-l and the expected isnuo of local loans was delayed on uccount of the unfavorable outlook. The shares of the electrical companies were active on the Ilerlln bourse. Notable among these were the Schlickert Electrical Company, of Nuremberg, the llkgen Hlectrlc Accumulator Company and the lloej Electric Accumulator Company, the shares of which ro!e ll'i points.
