CHICAGO, July 11.—The largest gathering of Odd Fellows that the world has ever seen will take place here next month. It will bo the triennial meeting of the Grand Lodge and grand Triennial Cantonment of Patriarchs Militant'of the I, O. O. K. For over six weeks the local committees have boon holding daily meetings and working with might and main to provide for the transportation of the visitors and their comfort and convenience while the city and during the paat two weeks their proceedings have been participated in by Grand Sire Gen *ral I wlerwood, of Kentucky, and who has given the benefit of his time and experience to the preliminaries. The lowest rates ever known in railroad history have Ihhmi granted to the Odd Fellows on all the ront*M from ihe Atlantic coa*t to the Gulf, and the rates' which have lieen conceded by tlrn local hotel proprietors are in many eases little more than nominal. The city council has gnuitoil permission for the temporary erection on the Lake Front of an amphitheatre with a frontage of fifteen thousand feet and which will be large enough to hold an audience of 30.0(H) people. The largest hails in the city have all been retained and the Lake Front Park will be fenced in for the purposes of the prize drill. Advices received up to thin morning by Brigadier General J. 1'. Ellacott, chairman of the m-optioii committee, are to the effect that over ly.OOO Patriarchs in uniform and 50,000 Odd Fellows proper have already decided to take part in the event 'and the probabilities are that this number will be largely increased during the next few weeks, With the visitors and their relatives and friends they will bring with them, it is estimated that fully 250,(KJ0 strangers will be in the city during the*cantonment week. Delegates will be hero from England, Germany, France and other countries. The prizes offered for the drills aggregate $27,000.

%. ipr^Joly 14.—A terrible O'clone etiuck just Outeide ^he city late yesterday afternoon and caused death and destruction in its path. Several hundred lives aMsup]»oeed to have been lost. As reports arrive the enormity of the lot® of li/e increases. iJtorm cloudH came together near' ijike McCarron, about three mile^ north of the city. They immediately assumed the appearance of a cyclone. The" rotary motion was noticeable as the funnel shaped fury started in a north Westerly course, sweeping the chain of lakes and pleasure resorts which line northward. These Wet® populated with thousands of pleasure seekera who bad gone out to spend the day. Thousands of campers and cottagera werwubout the shores. With little or no warning the terrible storm king burst upon the locality and in a moment pleasure was transformed into destruction and death.

Lake Coleman is one of the prettiest of the lakes and here the damage was very heavy. When the storm struck the little lake the boat house was jiiftad up bodily and overturned" in "the water, and a boat load of persons Other buildings were demolished or badly wrecked. Passing from the starting point, the cyclone struck Lake Joanna, Lake Gcrvais, Lake Vadnais, Little Canada, and passed on about, four miles to the east of White Bear Lake. The passengers on the St. Paul & Duluth train which left White Bear and were approaching Gladstone, narrowly escaped, the cyclone tearing up the track only a few hundred feet behind the train.

On Lake Gervais the destruction was great. The cottages of Millionaire J. H. Schuermier and Simon Good were demolished. Mr. and Mrs. Schuermier were sitting near the door of the cottage when the whirling win^l picked it up. Schuermier was dashed against a tree and horribly mangled, every bone in his body being broken. Mrs. Schuermier was buried beneath the debris of the adjacent cottage and" her head was pinned down by' heavy timbers £iraon Good was struck by a piece of flying timber and the falling limb of a tree twisted from its roots by the force of the winds, dashed out his brains as he fell. The camp of Colonel tielleher, of this city, with a large party was blown down, but all escaped injury. In the wreck of the Schuermier hftnse, however, live were killed and ten injured tbereand at the Good cottage. Following are the killed:

Mrs. J. II. Schuermier and Charley Schuermier, of St. Paul. The Rev. Mr. Paeller, of Brennan, Tex., who was visiting them.

George Miller, of the First National Bank, St. Paul. "Pete," SchuermierV driver, whose last name was not known.

The injured were: J. H. Schuermier, scalp wound Charles Good, serious injury to scalp Mrs. Paefler, shoulder brok en Thomas Barnard, not seriously Mrs. Georger Mille,|iujuriea to ber head, shoul derand foot Miss Carrie Moss, wounded on head and shoulders Clark Hanson, bruised hip Roy Good, three -scalp wounds and an injury to the spine Mr. Gentej and Miss Minnie Moss.

Froju l^ake Gervais the cyclone passed almost due east, and it is reported that it struck a settlement twelve miles southeast of Stillwater, demolishing it and killing several persons. The telegraphlines are, however, atl down and no dispatches can get through.

The scenes at Lake Gervais along the storm path, just after it jmssed by, were heartrendering. Help was on hand at once and the wounded and .dead .were dug from under buildings "and taken to the houses of neighbors and to the hospital, and the dead were all collected in the hotel of John Coleman. The majority o! the buildings were light frame structures, which were BO completely blown to pieces that there really was no wreck under which t&e occupants could bo buried. Dead bodies were found manv rods from the houses they had owned when living. Help was asked from White Bar, but It was impossible to send any physicians. Many

L—

citizens, however, went to their

aid." Half .a 1o*en ambulanefes and twice that number of physicians went from St, Paul at 8'clook to administer to the sufferers. Several of the dead bodies were brought to this City and the others will remain at Coleman's until claimed bv friends and taken home. "The eitixens vm doing everything possible under tlje distressing circumstances in property caring for the dead and alteviftf mg the suffering of the wounded. At the Coleman house every room up. stairs ami down is filled with eots, upois each 4 which a stiffen?* is laid, and a corps of doctora is in attendance, setting and amputating limbs, and $»iug wounds. .The black-robed skuscs ql mercy are flying about ami to be everywhere administering comfort «nd a*Mfn in the work of.

imabated fury until near 9 clock. At the latter hour the ckrads. suddenly assumed a funnel like shape, the edges heing fringed, with a laecework of fleecy white.

When the eddying monster bad gamed •its fnll momentum it suddenly veered from the east to the south. Almost in a twinkling the great swirling mass spread out like a fab and sweeping across Iake Gervais levelled everything in its path. The scene at Lake Gerviaa absolutely beggars description. The number of deaths is not definitely known and there is no means of ascertaining who the wounded are. There must be from twenty-five to forty wounded, some of them seriously, but most of them slightly. They have been taken to residences in various parts of the city, and no one has any idea who they are. There is no organized system of relief and consequently everybody is at sea as to the real extent of the casualty. It is believed, however,. six will cover the number of cottagers killed, but there are several wounded who are likely to die. From lake Gervias the cyclone passed almost due east, and it is reported it struck a settlement twelve miles southeast of Stillwater, demolishing it and killing several persons. Telegrimh lines, however, are all down and no dispatches can get there.

Those injured in the cyclone are as comfortable as possible this morning, with the exception of Mrs. George J. Miller, whose Ihusband was .killed. The lady will probably die from the mental shock and mjuriea The list of injured is largely increased and more deaths must follow. On the Milwaukee road, the Chicago express was struck near Lake Pepin. The passengers were greatly terrified. The sleeping car porter jumped from the train and was killed.

At North St. Paul the wind blew down a furniture factory and several dwellings. Two persons were killed by lightning. On Gervias road, four miles north of the city, the.house of Nat Getzky, containing twelve persons, was raised from its foundations and dropped on the inmates who took refuge in the cellar,, killing two outright. Others are so badly crushed that they will die.

SLOW PROGRESS MADE-

t-h lea groans Quarreling Over the Pair Mte and Other Matters. CHICAGO, July 14 —The members of the board of directors met again to-day with the committee oT the city council on wharves and public grounds, to originate immediate action on the ordinances granting the right to use the Lake Front park for the .purposes of the World's Fair. There is a good deal of opposition manifested by members of the council, and meanwhile no progress can be made. At the last meeting of the National Commission, before adjournment, positive statements were made by Vice President Bryan and Director Ford lfeck to the effect that it was intended^ only to use the liake Front "as a "gateway to the fair proper and that the bulk of the exhibi tion, including the large buildings, would be located at .Jackson Park. It was only .upon these representations that the commission was finally induced to accept the dual site. Now, however, thattbe members of the commission have been scattered to the four quarters of the country it is given out by the directorate that, the two gentlemen in question spoke without authority, that it is intended to extend the Lake Front Park into the lake and use it as a location of the main portion of the exposition and that only the cattle and otner exhibits will be located at Jackson Park. It is this change of front which has antagonized so many members of the city council and it is strongly urged that if, when the commission comes together again ift September, it finds that the local directors have not kept faith with the main body it may reject the plans and everything else that may have been accomplished. Tlie election as secretary of Hon. Ben Butterworth which, it is. claimed, was accomplished through partisan influence has also created considerable feeling, and between One tiling and another the enterprise is making decidedly slow and unsatisfactory progress.

New Yoiik, July 14.—General John C. Fremont died suddenly yesterday afternoon at the residence of his adopted daughter, Mrs. H. M. Porter.

THE SEA WINGS' SAD FATE.

UPSKT THE LAKE WLTH NKV. KRAI, IIUKDHEI) OX BOARD.

F.xpwlfllf*.

ST. PA.UI, Minn., July 14.—A cyclone devastated.Sumfiner resorts north of here yesterday afternoon. The steamer Sea Wing, home bound, left Lake City, where the state encampment of the state militia is being held, with 350 persons aboard ani| a baige in tow. The cyclone struts* the steamer, «ut tlie barge loose drifUng to the shore with only twenty people on the barge. Over 200 people weire drowned, the bodies washing ashore. Citizens formed a volunteer police service to patrol the beach.

The steamer started back on the homeward trip about S o'clock, and although there were signs of "an approaching storm it was not considered in any way serious and no„danger was anticipated The boat was crowded to its fullest capacity, about 150 men, women and children from Red Wing and Diamond Bluff being on board, and a!x)ut fifty people on a barge which was attached to the side of the steamer. When about opposite Lake City the boat began to feel the effects of the storm, but the officers kept on the way. The storm increased as the boat continued up the lake, and in fifteen minutes was at its height, nearing its central point about two miles above Lake City. The steamer was at the mercy of the waves, which were now washing over the boat and all was confusion. The boat momentarily ran onto a bar and the barge was cut

loose and the steamer again set adrift in the lake. A number of. those on the barge jumped and swam ashore,

As the barge floatedv again into the deep water those on the barge saw the steamer as it was carried helplessly out into the middle of the lake, where being tossed about on the raging waters, they were horrified a moment later to observe the steamer capsize" and precipitate its cargo of 150 people into the lake. Those on the barge remained there until they drifted nearer the shore and they were all rescued or swam-ashore.

Captain Weathern gave instructions to run the boat into the Wisconsin shore but the force of wind and waves was too terrible. In five minutes more the waves began to wash into the boat and fill its lower decks, and while the hailstones as large as hen's' eggs cajne down on the heads ?f the poor" and helpless creatures who were huddled together on the top, a huge wave struck the craft on the- jside at the same moment that a terrific blast of wind more forcible than the others came up and carried the Mat over. All of the people on board, 150 or more, were thrown into the water, some being caught underneath, apd others thrown into the waves. The boat turned bottom upwards, and only about twenty-five people were observed to be floating on the surface. They caught hold of the boat and climbed upon the upturned bottom, and those first securing a position assisting the others..

Before help could reach them, however, the poor creatures who yet remained to tell the horrors of the night} were again submitted to another battle with the elements, With no word of warning and'as they were just beginning to hope that they would be taken off by the Tcitizens of Lake City, the boat again tufbed over, this time on itssidej and again all of the twenty-five remaining souls were hurled into the water. Of these several were drowned before they could be brought to the boat by those who succeeded in remaining afloat and again securing a hold on the boat's side.

As the men hung on tbe railing, in danger each moment of being washed away by the waves, one man observed the forms of two women wedged in between a stationary seat and the-boat's side. Both pale in death. As the lightning gleams lit up their upturned faces another man saw two little girls floating past him as he buns with desperate efforts to "the steamer's side.

A dozen or more "rowboats were manned and put out from tlie shore. The upturned boat was at last discovered the twenty or more remaining people clinging to the boat were rescued and brought to the shore, most of them being men who could swim. Before daylight sixty bodies had been recovered. fm .S4 WAS the WOMAN shot*

Celia Andrews is a petite little, woman who lives on South First street, near Pikes Peak. She is quite young^of good form and address and preposessing in apIualified

pearance. She has a particular friend of the male calling living at Clay City whom she wants to see real badly. It seems she could not see him for »ome reason or other and accordingly set about this morning tjo devise some means whereby she ihigbt bring the young nian to her side. It is said that site telegraphed htm to come to Terre, Haute that she had shot herself. Wheth-* er she did shoot herself or not it is im* passible to say but she doesn't look Uke it. She claims that in fooling with a revolver early this morning, she polled the tri^erand tbe ball passed through the muscles of ber right arm. There were no signs of a shooting visible to the reporter's naked eye, and disbelieved that the "shooting" was a lake, conjured tip for tbe sake of getting a look at the "apple of his eye."

The Senate Will DImmim* the Tariff BUI This Week. WASHIXIITOX, July 14.—Although just before adjournment Saturday the Senate formally took up the tariff bill and thus made it the pending business for to-day it will forthwith be informally laid aside —according to the pres&nt intention of tlie majority—while the Senate takes up and considers the sundry civil appropriation bill and, probably, the Indian appropriation bill. With the possiblff intervention of a day for the consideration of routiue measures on the calendar, the way is expected to be then clear for tlie beginning of the debate upon the tariff bill. Some senators desire to provide for action upon other measures—notably the river and harbor appropriation bill, and even tbe bouse election bill—in advance of entering upon tbe tariff debate.

Another effort is to be made in the House tb is" week to secure the passage of the original package and bankruptcy bills, under the operations of a special rule, and as soon as the pending land grant and forfeiture bill is out of tlie way. To-day, under the regular prder, is District* of Columbia day in the House. Tbe committee on elections is still waiting the pleasure of the committee on rules as to wheri it shall call up the Yirgiuia contested case of Langston vs. .Venable, and the South Carolina case of Miller vs. Elliott, which are on the calendar, ami it is expected that they will both be disposed of in the event that the week is not entirely consumed in the consideration of the meanres above mentioned.

FAR FROM THE MADDENING CROWD-

-Stanley IM Not Well, Bnrflw Resting at Melrhet Conrt. LONDON*, July 14.—A private letter from Melcbet Court where Mr. and Mrs. Henry M. Stanley are passing their honeymoon, indicates that the explorer is in compare tively good health, considering the recent tax upon his strength, and rumors of his illness are exaggerated. Mr. Stanley writes he was able to take a stroll yesterday in the forests of Melchet Court and that their vast solitudes re minded him of his journeys through Afri ca. He also says that, aside from some gastric disturbance, he is feeling very well, though he was obliged' to retire early in the evening to gain much needed rest Mr. Stanley writes with enthusiasm of the quiet hg is now enjoy ing and says he is glad to be away for while at- least, from the "maddening crowd."

Two of the Tioga's Victims Identified Yesterday CHICAGO,. July 14.—Six more bodies have l)een recovered from the wreck of the Tiofea making nineteen so far, exclu sive of tl\e injured, who died at the bos pitaS. One of the corpses taken out was that of a white m$n, the others those of negroes. Only two were identified—those of Lewi*$£jcander and Henry Alexander, colored stevedores, brothers,* and they were recognized by cigarettes. The body of John Nellie, stevedore, was not found but one of the workmen picked up his watch anytime book in the fatal hold. The death list will reach thirty names.

_______

FL»E MILLER'S DLMRACCFUT FAIR MUST BE 1KVEST1UATED.

Kntie Itlx, of POLICE Court Notoriety, Rhnfflw Off HY the Morphine SP* Ronte The ALLEGED A 1X1 noMI. t|onor Fannie PMWOC*.

The police l»oard meets isi regular session to-night. !the disgraceful lde Miller wife beating alfair should come before the board for investigation and the members of the board will dor well to go carefully into its details. It is by far the most brutal and disgraceful case that ever come before police circles.- The horrid spectacle of a hearty strong man—a giant in stature, and wearing the uuiform of the Terre Haute metropolitan police, cruelly beating a woman on a public street is a shameful occurrence indeed.

There were plenty of. eye witnesses who saw Miller beat the woman with his fists and with an umbrella into a bleeding and almost unconscious condition. There are plenty Who saw the woman in this condition afterwards, who will state under oath that she must have been mercilessly dealt with and "the police board, comuosed of men of honor, holding honorable. positious cannot afford to ignore these facts and go through another white washing farce such as characterized their predecessors.

Instead of being the guardian of a woman in distress this officer who disgraces the star he still wears was thtj cause of her trouble. The colored people themselves are up in arms that such a man should represent the colored eitixens in municipal affairs. There is not question but that the position belongs to the colored people. They should be represented on the police force by at least two men but they do not appreciate Millers presence on the force, they repudiate him. Captain Davis has gone-blundering on in this affairwith his ears open* to the professional politicians and claims to have made an investigation which exonerates Miller. The error of his statements can be proven. Let it be done.

Said Captain Davis this morning: "That interview with me, upon the lde Miller case which THE NBWS published, was perfectly correct except in one particular. I was reported as saying that Dwyer was with me when I went on South Eleventh street to investigate the affair That was not the case, and I was misun derstood if understood to saytliat.

I MORPHINED HERSELF.

Katie 1)1 x. After a llrlef and Wretched Life, Takes Poison and Hies. Five years a^o as handsome* a child as ever grew up amid the tainted atmos phere of the Gallanline quarter, was Katie Diy. Her mother occupied at, that time, squalid quarters in the St. Clair Flats, then the abode of as wretched and varigated a collection of human beings as were ever gathered under one roof. The girl at 14 years of age, was thrown upon the cold and unsympathetic world to take care of herself as best she could. Of course, she went from bad to worse until she became as vicious and racy a .creature as was ever rustled into the police chariot and chased, away, disheveled and yell ing, to the county jail. Katie became bad, as bad as she could be.

But she is dead now—dead by her own poor hand—and perhaps a mantle of charity and compassion shonld be thrown over her past life, for like many other unfortunate Magdalenes she was un doubtedly as much sinned against as sinning. She never knew what it was to breatb a pure and undeflled atmos phere. She became tired of the world and committed suicide yesterday, taking 15 cents',worth of morphia, which she purchased through the agency of a boy messenger at a drug store and swallowed at 11 o'clock at her home, 220 Tyler street. When discovered by neighbors she was thought be in a dying condition and a physician was sent for. The gentleman summoned was not in his office,-and Dr Jenkins, deputy coroner, was sent for. Upon his arrival he found the woman seated upright in a chair, in the yard whither she had been removed by neigh boring friends. The physician at once

her dead. The people re

used to believe tbe deputy and showed unmistakeablesigns of anger when he insisted on securing the names of witnesses in order to.hold an inquest. After Dr. Jenkins had taken possession of the body, the crowd demanded "that a doctor be brought there" to give the woman treatment

The Dix womjyi has been drinking heavily of late and Saturday night indulged in a regular debauch with several mooted guests." Tier system was therefore just in tlie proper condition for the morphine poi»On to get in its work easily. This, the second attempt she has made upon her life, proved a success. She tried to hang herself to a rafter in a den in Happy Alley several years ago but was found and cut down after she had herself a thorough choaking.
