UPWARDS OF TWENTY KILLED. People Blown Headlong Into the Water and Drowned. — FULL PARTICULARS OF THE CALAMITY. A CYCLONE’S WRATH. Terrible Havoc at the Pretty Summer Lakes Near St. Paul. Sr. Pavu, July 14.—According to the testi- mony of those who witnessed yesterday's terri- ble storm, it first gathered in the vicinity of Snail lake, several miles to the northwest of luke Gervais and something like eight miles from St. Paul. It proceeded slowly in its gen- eral movement and first began its work of estruction about three miles from the Scubermeir and Good cottages by demolishing @ barn and several wind mills. After this it seemed to bound into the air, striking the earth again near the hamlet of Little Canada, where the first serious damage was done. Again it skipped a space of about a mile and again lowered to earth and resumed its work of destruction, its fury culminating near the shore of Lake Gervais, where five deaths were caused. Once again the storm seemed to rebound into the air only to regain the earth « half mile further on, where the ruins of the Gaetzke place and the bruised inmates were lef tto bear witness to its relentless power. Here its force seemed to be spent and as it proceeded eastward it assumed simply the nature of a high wind, accompanied by a thunder storm. Hail as large as medium-sized olives was one of the features at White Bear. Besides the Good and Schurmeir cottages the following persons are known to have had their cottages blown to pieces: Moses Milanston, Mrs. J. P. Milanston and Mrs. R. B. Shannon. These were situated a short distance west of Lake Gervais. A Mr. Gaetske, living a half mile east of the lake, had his house destroyed, as did S. Nadean, living near Little Canada, a mile and a half west of the lake. Several of the inmates of these houses were injured, but none fatally. Be- sides the houses destroyed a number of barns and windmills were blown down. No estimate can be made as yet, however, of the amount of damage done to property. The Golske home. just south of Lake Gervais, was also demolished and Mrs. Golske severely bruised about the head. At Lake Vaidnaisa Mrs. Easton and Mrs, Shannon were slightly injured. Mr. Martin McKame of St. Paul, who was at this lake, was also hurt and was brought to §St Joseph’s Hospital in St. Paul. Above Little Canada the Ozier House was wrecked and the Ozier chil- dren cut and bruised. Other homes were badly destroyed and allsorts of rumors as to killed and injured are flying around. A party of pleasure seekers are known ‘to have been out in a boat near Little Can- ada before the storm and they are reported to be missing. It was also re- ported in the excitement of last night that several boats had left dock near the Schur- meir residence before the storm cams up and not one has returned. This startling report, however, lacked verification. FIVE KILLED AT LAKE GERVAIS, The place where the cyclone struck the ground and caused the loss of life was on the shores of Lake Gervais, where J, H.Scrhumeir of this city had a summer cottage in the little basin where Simon Goad was also located. The funnel-shuped cloud swooped down on them, demolished the dwellings and a num- ber of other buildings in the neighborhood. The camp of Col. Helleher of this city with a large party was blown down, but the party all escaped injury. In the wreck of the Sehuemeir House, however, five were killed and ten were njured in the Good cottage. THE LIST OF THE KILLED. The killed were: Mrs. G. H. Schuemeir of St Paul, Charles Schuemier of St. Paul, Rev. Mr. Phaefler of Brennan. Tex., who was visit- ing the Schurmeirs; George Miller of the First Nationa. Bank of this city. “Pete” Schumeier’s drive~, whose name was unknown. The bodies of Mrs. Schumeier, her gon and Mr. Shaefier have not yei beer found. ‘THE INJURED. J. H. Schnemier, scalp wound; Chas, Good, serious injucy to scalp; Mrs. Phaefler, shoulder broken: Thos. Bernard, uot seriously; Mrs. Geo. Miller, injuries to her head, shoulder and foot; Miss Carrie Miss, wounded on head, arm and shoulder; Clark Hausen, bruised hip; Roy Good, three scalp wounds and an injury to the spine; Mr. Genter and Miss Minnie AT KOHLMANN’S LAKE. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Ronald of St, Paul were out at Kohimann’s lake during the storm and had « narrow escape from injury. Mr. Ronald said: “My wife and I drove out to Kohlmanns lake at 2:15, arriving there about 3 o'clock, We took a boat and went out fishing on the lake at 38:15. Half an hour later we saw the storm coming up, but I thought it would pass away north of us. I pulled toward Kohimann’s wharf, however, and just as I landed the storm commenced. We ran into Koblmann’s Hotel and had no sooner got inside than the wharf, 100 feet Idng, was swept away and the boat house turned com- pletely around, The water in the lake was raised in spray twenty feet. The hotel had over 100 people inside and they wore badly frightened. Some were crying and others were praying. Mr. Kohlmann wanted us all to go outside and lie down, as he was afraid the house would be blown down. ‘The edge of the storm, however, passed within 50 feet of the hotel and struck the north side of the lake, where there were five or six houses. These houses were all damaged and most of them swept away—one house in particular, which had a large red barn behind it, presumably Schurmeir's, was totally wrecked and its tim- bers were scattered for half a mile along the track of the storm. Some of the shingles and a gable end were blown from Kohimann’s, For half an hour the storm lasted and it ap) to cover a tract of country about a to three-quarters of a mile wide. As soon as it had passed a lar number of men went to work helping the wounded and taking out the dead on the other side of the lake. Carriages of all sorts were in use and s small steam tug which had been blown ashore was floated und sent acroas the lake. I saw fourteen people who were all pretty badly hurt.” J. W. Terrell and Miss Valdee, P. T. Potts and Miss Lou Gleason, J. F. Burke and Miss Wheeler, John Bruggemaa and wife, all of St. Paul, formed a party who were camping on the southwest shore of Lake Jervis and not very from the Schurmicr cottage.

Mr. Moore’s Motion to Recom- mit the Bill With Instructions CARRIED--YEAS 59; NAYS 52+ District day in the Honse rolled around again today and the Atkinson railroad bill promised to absorb for the third time the hours devoted to the interests of the capital of the nation, Mr. Grout was not present this morning and Mr. Atkinson was in command. After a little prelim: business Mr. At- kinson moved that the House resolve iteelf into committee of the whole for the of the Atkinson bill. A division was apes Mr. Milliken, The motion was carried—80 ayes and 20 noes, Mr. McKinley made a point of no quoram, A count of the House showed 166 mem- bers present—just a quorum with potevens single vote to spare. The House, therefore, resolved itself into committee of the whole with Mr. Dunnell (Mina.) in the chair, MR, MOORE'S MOTION TO RECOMMIT TRE BILL WITH INSTRUCTIONS, After a little discussion as to what was the Pending motion it was decided that Mr. Moore's motion to lay aside the bill with a recommen- dation to recommit with instructions took precedence. Mr. Moore's motion directs that the committee report a substitute for the bill directing the removal of the tracks and depot fromthe malland the placing of the same at Maryland and Virginia avenues, the company to be recompensed for their present depot. MR. EXMPHILL Df BEMALF OF THE CITIZENS OF WASHINGTOX. Mr. Hemphill took the floor, The bill, he said, had received the direct condemnation of every citizen and organization of citizens in Washington, excepting the individuals directly benefited. Mr. Hemphill presented a petition from about 185 citizens of South Washington br testing against this bill. He said he also had petitions from the Federation of Labor and trom the Knights of Labor ting earnestly against the enactment of this bill without compensation to, the people. Ha had also ® petition from a large church in South Wash- ington protesting against the bill. In his hands, also, he continued, was the protest from the Board of Trade of this city—an tion representing the best business interests of the city—which likewise entered its ences it against the Atkinson bill as it stoo: ‘he bill should be recommitted, he thought, so that the people could obtain e recompense for the great and additional grants. MR. ATKINSON DOESN'T WANT THE BILL AMENDED. Mr. Atkinson said the bill did not infringe on any privilege of the people. The history of the occupation of the mall was then referred to by Mr. Atkinson, He spoke of the condition of the mall at the time it was taken b, the railroad—old barns and squatters, he said, en- cumbered the mall at that time, The bill should not be loaded down by amendments and suggestions not having any connection with the measure, A PRESBYTERIAN PROTEST. Mr. Holman (Ind.) had sent to the desk and read a formal petition from the Sixth Prosby- terian Church, which protested in tho most vigorous way against the enactment of tho At- kinson bill, MR, HEARD AND MB. DEMPSILL. Mr. Heard took the floor in opposition to the motion.’ He challenged opposition to the state- ments that everybody agreed that the railroad needed additional facilities and that the local- ity provided for in this bill was the proper place for such additional facilities. sid- ings were not there illegally, said Mr. Heard. Mr. Hemphill wanted to know if that was so why the road wanted the sidings legalized now. Mr. Heard did not reply, but said the oppo- sition was unfair. Mr. Hemphill said it was not unfair, The scene on the floor was one of CONSIDERABLE EXCITEMENT about this time. Mr. Milliken took the floor and Mr. Heard thought something in his re- marks implied that he (Heard) was a tool of the railroad, This Mr. Heurd started in to deny with emphasis and heat, He dared Mr, Milliken to prove the charge. i Mr. Milliken said he had great respect for the gentleman from Missouri, but the great heat which the gentleman showed in connec- tion with this bill caused him to be unfair. Mr. Milliken then sent to the desk had read extracts from the speech of Senator Morrill on this subject, which have already been printed in Tue Star. Mr. Rowell (Ill) thought there could be no worse thing for the traveling public than the removal of the Baltimore and Potomac depot from the pres eituation. The only person who would gain by the move would be some owner of property who would be unable to sell certain lots to the railroad. AN UNMITIGATED STEAL, Mr. Connell thought the present bill an un- mitigated steal, in which the railroad tried to get something for nothing. He thought the House should go on the principle that even the public has rights which a railroad is bound to respect. This was an idea which the Penn- sylvania railroad never taken to heart. Public opinion, he continued, was unanimously against the enactment of the bill. Mr. McMillan (Tenn.) wanted to know what the government wanted with a railroad station where there was no railroad, He then pro- ceeded to attack that part of the amendment providing for the payment to the railroad for the station and bridge. He thought, however, thatthe station should not be moved to the outskirts of the city. A QUESTION OF TWO SQUARES. Mr. Hemphill replied that nobody to move to the outskirts of the city; that it was only a question of two squares whether you rode on a street car or on the railroad, Mr. Payson thought he had heard not one argument against the 9 of the bill, The bi bad no connection with the passenger station and was ag & question of proper freight facilities for the road. The side tracks were laid in good faith, and all the bill did was to validate these tracks, WANTS TO LIMIT DEBATE, Mr, Atkinson wanted debate limited on the pending motion to twenty minutes. Mr. Hemphill moved to amend to sixty minutes, ‘The vote was taken on Mr, Hemphill’s amend- ment, resulting, on a division—ayes, 35: noes, 48, Mr. Hemphill made a point of no quoram and demanded tellers, The vote by tellers resulted—ayes, 53; noes, 58.

Mr. O'Neill took the floor in opposition to the amendment. Mr. O'Neill managed to get highly excited over the perfection of the Penn-~ sylvania railroad and paid no attention to the rap of the chairman's gavel, which marked the expiration of bis time. MR. HEMPHILL WANTED TO KXOW if the time when a railroad was asking some- thing was not the time for the people to obtain using every means to secure the Passage of this bill, bad lear we te kuew what a pressure a t corporation could use, It would look very bad for the present House continued jemphill, if everything that ot one ng sated by the poople of the Die not on is trict should be granted. ite WHERE ARE THE 30,000? Mr. Hemphill then referred to Mr. O'Neill's question as to where the 30,000 people were who were protesting against this bill. They were, said Mr. Hompiill, the people living along the line of this road, they were found in nineteen bodies of the Federation of Labor, they were found in the Kmighte of Labor, they were found is the board of trade, they were found among the ministers of the Gospel of this Dis- trict.

Time's out. The forty minutes having expired, Mr. Moore’s motion was again read. Mr. Hemphill moved to amend by striking out the portion of the motion providing for ‘the payment to the company of a recompense for their present station and bridge. A vote wastakenon Mr. Hemp! the motion resulting: Ayes, 50; noes, 40. THE MOTION TO RECOMMIT THE BILL CARRIED. ‘The amendment to recommit then came up.

The demand for the yeas and nays was made and the motion was de- clared carried. Z Mr. Hemphill moved to reconsider and lay that motion on the table. The motion was car- ried—yeas 64, nays 54.
