ACyclone Mows Trees and Barns Down in New Jersey. COLUMBUS GROVE MURDER. A LIGHT ON ALMY’S CASE A Visit He Made With Two Revolvers to a Supposed Rival’s House. Haxoven, N.H., August 24.—Miss Jeannette Thomas, a relative of Prof. Pattee, whose con- nection with the Almy case has often been re- ferred to, tells a story of midnight visit re- ceived from the murderer July 15. two days beforo the murder of Chris- |tine Warden. ‘This night Miss Thomas | slept in the room usually occupied by Christie Warden when she stayed at the house of Prof. Pattee, she was aroused in her sleep by a noise in the room. She st up and asked who was there. Her throat was instantly grasped by a hand and a voice whispered: “Keep still; I | not injure you."5. ‘The intruder thon asked her if this was not | Christie Warden's room and where Christio | was. Miss Thomas told him Christie had left He demanded to ber: “Tam tho lover of Christie Warden. Her parents and sisters oppose my suit and I can- not see her at her home.” He then said to her: “Don't you ever mention this night's work to her or to anybody. You see how it is. If it were known that any man had entered her chamber at night her reputation would be blasted forever. You would | not want to have that occur, now would you?” he saked, with a sarcastic laugh. _ He then pressed a pistol against her breast and made her take a solemn oath never to betray him. He then suid he had been in the room before and asked if the door was fastened. Mise Thomas knew by this time that he was lying, as the door has no fastening on it. He then forced an object into her band, which proved to be a 44-caliber revolver cart- ridge. He told her to guard it carefully and reminder of her let it be always a oath, for if she ever breathed a syllable of this affair he would kill her. The intruder then departed. Miss Thomas’ story confirms a theory that had long obtained among those intered in the case, but which has been withheld from the public. Almy was wildly jealous of Prof. Pattie and of this jealousy most cruel and unjust suspicion was born, involving the professor and Miss Warden. This undoubtedly accounts for the midnight visit to Pattee's house, where the seordever — — a ies Le suspicion and where he went armed with his two revolvers prepared. to kill both suspected Persons. a A NEW JERSEY CYCLONE. A Big Swath Cut Through the Valley of the Passaic. Svuanrrr, N. J., August 24—A cyclone struck Longhill in Passaic valley, during the thunder- storm last evening. Whole orchards, corn fields and hundreds of tons of stacked hay were uprooted or scattered broadcast. The cyclone struck Longhill about 5 o'ciock in the afternoon, eutting a swath as though a big mower had gone over the ground.John Fredericks’ peach orchard the biggest in this section, was uprooted, and there is scarcely a tree left standing. Lawrence Walters’ apple orchard suffered the same fate. Hundreds of stacks of hay have been scat- tered by the wind. In the neighborhood of Berkeley Heights several barns were blown down. The eyclone is the first ever experienced in this section. The, damages amounts to $100,000. —— AN ACCOMPLICE IN THE ROBBERY ‘What the London Times Says of the British ‘War Ship and the Bullion. Loxpox, August 24.—A dispatch to the Times published today from Buenos Ayres confirms the information contained in a letter from 1 bon published in the Times on Saturday last to the effect that President Balmaceda of Chili sent one million in silver to Montevideo for shipment to Europe, thanks to the good offices of the captain of the British war ship Espiegel. President Balmaceda, according to the story made public on Saturday, unable to borrow money. seized the silver;bullion in the treasury ‘at Santiago de Chili which was stored there as security for the fiduciary circulation in order to be able to pay sums due to Eu- ropean contractors who bave béen supply- ing bim with ships, arms and ammuni- tion. The writer of this communication added that Balmaceda, being unable to hire a private vessel to transport the silver to Montevideo (from where it was to be transferred to Eu- pe), managed to persuade the commander Of M.S. Pspiegle to convey. the sum. of $1,000,000 in silver to Montevideo. where the money wag landed August 15. The Times, commenting upon this letter, said that it was confident that the commander of the Espiegle took this step without the consent of the British admiralty, adding that it seemed as thongh a british war ship had been made the accomplice of a downright robbery. The Times also said that the "matter demanded a fall and prompt investigation. ‘The Espiegle is a new sloop of war, commanded by Commander Arthur C- =a monnts ten guns, is of 1,130 tons regi and 1,1 ines poner, She is attached to the British Pacific squadron under Admiral C.

Randall, sec- retary of the board of fire underwriters, today issued a call to twelve insurance companies to send representatives to meet this afternoon. All the companies had issued policies to the owners = the ae - to tenants in it. Only the representatives of the two com- panics answered the call. They also took the ground that the insurance companies are not responsible for any losses on the building or its contents and cite clause 36 of the laws of the state, which says that “if a building or any part thereof falls, except as the result of fires, all insurance | by this policy on such building or its contents shall immediately cease.” Another clause also states that the companies cre not responsible for damage in case of an explosion. VIFTY BODIES STILL IN THE RUINS. So far only the edge of the ruins has been searched. Down beneath the center of the buildings are probably the graves of the great majority of those who have perished. The firemen, have heard all sorts of stories tothe number of persons in the buildings when they fell, believe that at least fifty bodies are still under the debris. aty Fire Chief Reilly is of that opinion, and he has made careful calculations | from | the ettmerous .d contradictory reports submitted to him. Ii the presses cau be got ous today itis Like, that all the brick and timber can be remove: by tomorrow afternoon and all the bodies re- covered by that time. A volunteer force of workmen from the Mar- vin Safe Company, with one of the company's i trucks and ite safe hoisting machinery, was at work at noon hauling the big Hoe presees out ofthe ruins. Underneath one of these presses were visible the bodies of two men. ‘Miller Earnett, tho agent of Johnson City, Tenn., who was caught in the wreck of the fall- ing building on Saturday and received « com- pound fracture of the skull, is still at Chambers street hospital, where his akull was trepanned. say he is doing well and have his recovery. ‘The su: came offensive and Dra.

CHINA AND THE FOREIGNERS, Railroad Communication Stopped — Last | Missionary Laughlin Says 2 Chinese Secret Night's Rain at Reading. Reaprsa, Pa., August 24.—As the result of last night's storm no trains are running today on the Reading railroad’s Lebanon branch between Reading and Lebanon. Near Wernersville, on this branch, just after the engine of a freight train passed over a cul- vert in eafety the culvert was washed away and the entire train of ten cars plunged into the culvert and were washed away. August Kobn, a tramp, stealing a ride, had a leg broken and his arm — injured. Over one - third of mile of ti was washed away obliged to remain near the scene of the wreck all night. Another culvert at Fritztown, on the Reading and Columbia railroad between Reading and Lancaster, was washed away | and no trains are running between those points today. The wires on the Reading and Co- Jumbia division are down, and communica- tion west, south of Sinking Spring, this county, has been cut off. A temporary telegraph office has been opened at the scene of the wreck, and a large force of employes were put to work this morning clearing away the wreckage and re- | pairing the damage. Passengers for Harrisburg and the western mails are sent through via Aubnrn this morning. There were several slight washouts between Reading andAllentown but the damage was soon repaired. At Mohns- ville, this county, cight dams, each half an acre toanacre in extent, were washed away and the hat factories and mills will be unable to resume until the dams have been rebuilt. This will take at least three weeks. ‘The bridge and three piers of the Keading and Southwestern Railroad Com- pany at Hendeltown, this county, were carried ay and a mile of its track was swept away. Hamburg, this county, three houses, be- longing to Daniel Riege!, John Mogle and Wm. F. Koller, were destroyed by lightning. Loss, ‘$10,000. ‘The breast of the big dam at the Robesonia farnace, which furnishes Robesonia, this county, with water, broke and gardens, fences, vegeia- blo gardens and roads were all washed out and trees uprooted. Over 300 fect of the Reading Railroad Company's track near Robesonia sta- tion was curried away. ae RUSSIA AND THE FAIR. Messrs. Butterworth, Handy and Peck Have Great Success in the Czar’s Country. Sr. Perenspuno, August 24.—Ex-Congressman Butterworth of Ohio, Maj. Moses P. Handy and Mr. F. W. Peck, members of the foreign com- mittee of the Chicago Columbian fair commi sion, have had most satisfactory interviews with the minister of foreign affairs, M. de Giers, and with the minister of finance, M. Vishnegradsky, upon the subject of Russia’ Participation in the worid’s fair of 1893. Both M. de Giers and M. Vishnegradsky promied the American commissioners that they would co-operate in the heartiest manner in the com- ing exhibition, and they could be perfectly sat- isfied that Russia, upon this occasion, will eur- Wess all her previous efforts in international exhibitions, MM. de Giers and Vishnegradsky also assured the commissioners that Hussia as a preliminary would send a representative of the government to Chicago. The latter will accompany the American back to the United States. ‘The fair commissioners are now visiting Mos- cow, where they have received many promises of mupport from the principal manufacturers of In brief, the visit of the commissioners to this country has been an undoubted success. ‘They came here to try and interest the Russian gov- ernment and Rassian manufacturers in the Chicago fair and they have thoroughly sue- ceeded in 60 doing. ——— EMIN PASHA VICTORIOUS, He is Reported to Have Won a Victory From the Dervishes, Bavssexs, August 24.—A communication in cipher has been received here from Stanley Falls which indicates that Emin Pasha has been wonderfully successful in bis operations in Africa.

Newrorr, R. 1, August 24—One of the famous Newport fogs came on last night, fol- lowed by a heavy mist and rain, but, as on Saturday, the skies cleared before morning. This morning Clarence Hobart and V. G. Hall played a match in the semi final round in the international tennis tournament to see who should have the right to contest against F. H. Hovey to- morrow for the all-comers’ prize. Hobart's drives were simply terrific in the first set, and he foreed Hall to drive out of’ court time and again. Hobart's me resembled much the style of play used y George Kerr, the Irish professional, two years ago. Hall tried playing at Hobart’s back- hand to prevent the famous Lawford, but then Hobart would seize the chance nearly every time to place down the side line, The first set went to Hobart, 6 to 2. Hobart did not play with cnracy in the second set, while Hall played a strong defensive game. Hall hud more success, too, in playing against his opponent's back hand, but Hobart managed to pull out the set 6 tot. Like the two ‘previous scts, Hobart had the set well in hand from the start, his play being the finest ever seen by an amateur at Newport. ‘ite so much ac- Society Started the Agitation. Barrimonr, Mp., Angust 24—Rev. LH. Langblin, who has been a Presbyterian mis- sionary in northern China for over ten years, has returned to this country and is now in this city.

I am of the opinion that the leaders in the riots want to embroil the government in war with a f power by attacking foreign residents.

Toreno, Onto, July 24.—An Ottawa, Ohio, special to the Bee says: James M. Roberts, the alloged Columbus Grove murderer, arrived here at 2 o'clock this morning in charge of Marshal Faith of New Washington and Deputy Sheriff Renve of Ottawa. Not over a score of people were present when the train arrived aud the prisoner was quietly taken to the jail and locked up. There are many strangers in town this morning, but there is no excitement and ail talk of lynching is simply nonsense. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Kob- erts of Auburndale, a suburb of Toledo, par- ents of the prisoner, are here, and’ both are certain they can prove ‘an alibi. ‘The prisoner is either stark mad or is playing the insanity dodge. The correspondent had an interview with the prisoner, during which the latter talked in rambling and incoherent man- ner and seemed to be afraid that he would be strung up. He raved about being charged with 250 pounds of electricity and acted as if he had an acute attack of the snakes. 0 you know Mr. Maple?” the correspond- ent asked. s, I think I have seen him somewhere, but I don’t know where. “Did you ever see him in Columbus Grove?” ‘0, { think not, I was never in Columbus Grove.” s Hoberts wears « different suit of clothes from which he wore when the murder was com- | mitted. He admits having changed his clothes with some fellow whose name he does not re- member. Roberts’ mother asserts that he was in Toledo on the 7th, 8th and 9th, and claims to lave several witnesses to substantiate this as- sertion. Cashier Maples identified the prisoner and is also positiver of his identity. Later.—Cashier Maples again identified the prisoner while having his photograph taken. “He is the man,” he said confidently. ‘He has shaved off bis moustache and wore different clothes. Iwas also kept busy watching the point of the gun 2¢ the time he was tn the at I am positive the same man.’ Preliminary examination will take place Wednesday or Thursday. — ‘The Saratoga Races.

Winchell, who fills the chair of geology in the Minnesota State University, was then introduced and read a touching and eulogistic memorial of his dead brother, Prof. Alexander Winchell. The memorial was quite lengthy and reviewed the dead geologist’s life from his birth, December 31, 18:4, in Dutchess county, N. Y., to his death at Ann Arbor, Feb- ruary 19 last.’ His work was many-sided. He had studied to be a civil engineer; had a strong leaning toward theol ‘He also read medi- cine and was fine mathematician. He loved » Wrote poetry and moddled in clay and plaster. As a financial resource he became a teacher and was very successful. He became famous by his arguments on ‘The Bible His- tory of the Creation.” He published in Christian Advocate “Adamites and Pre-Adam- ites,” a far-reaching exposition of scriptural and scientific harmony. For four years he lec- tured on geology at Vanderbilt University. Dur- ing his loug connection with the University of Michigan he wrote many scientific articles of a Popular nature and did.a very great deal toward populsrizing geological science. ‘The speaker spoke eloquently of his dead brother's long and splondid connection with the Ann Arbor Uni- versity. His death was most touchingly de- seribed: Oddly enough the last words he ut- tered in public were these: “When I speak to you again it will beof the inhabitantsof another world.” He had just finished his weekly lec- ture and referred in his closing sentence to the subsequent lecture that was never delivered, He was a most prolific writer, his “Sketches of Creation” being a very widely-read book, and many other works written in refutation of evo- Iutionary ideas being also very successtul. He discovered many new geolagical spe- cies and many other geologists testified their admiration for him by naming species they discovered after him. His great work for the Geological Society was touched on, and in closing the living brother said that the next | Meeadonog would keenly feel the benificent in- luence of his work. At the conclusion of the memorial Prof. Edward Orton, Dr. C. A. White and Mr. C. k. Van Hise were appointed a com- mittee to drait resolutions expressive of the society's regret at the death of its president. ‘The presentation of papers was then begun, Acting President Gilbert explaining that it had been decided to give the society's foreign guests the preference in the order of the pre- senting of papers. PAPERS BY GERMAN PROFESSORS. The first two papers were by German pro- fessors, who spoke English with an evident effort..They were casily understood, however, because their papers bristled with scientific terms amd names and phrases that are pro- nounced the same the world Prof. Dr. Gustay Steinmann of the Univessity of Frei- burg, Germany, read the first paper, which consisted of the’ description of a geological map of South America. A large copy of the map was hung up beside the platform and smal replicas were distributed throughout the audience. Dr. Steinmann, who is a young, bearded, spectacled, typical German stud- ent, was sent to South America by the Strausburg University some ten years ago and spent some two years making a most thorough research in the geology of the continent,the tangible result being the remark- ably complete map exhibited. One important conclusion reached asa result of his researches in South America was to develop a most re- markable similiarity between the geclogy the two Americas, and especially between the geology of the southern United States and the southern continent. DR. KOTHPLETZ'S PAPER. The second paper was by Dr. August Roth- pletz of the University of Munich, Germany, on the Permian, Triassic and Jurassic forma- tions in the East Indian Archipelago. The doctor's paper was devoted to the description of some Mesozoic and Paleozoic fossils col- lected in two of the Indian — islands by his friend, Dr. Wichmann, — dur- ing a Geologic explofation of the ‘islands. Dr, Wichmann being geologist of the University of Utrecht, Holland, the collections were of particular value, and Dr. Rothpletz’s descrip- tion and classification of them, to which he de- voted his paper, was thorough and minute. He took occasion to ridicule some of the clas- sitications of fossils which put th in one category when found in one piace and in another when found somewhere else. PROF. HARKER OF CAMBRIDGE, EXGLAND. “Thermometamorphism in Igneous Rocks” was the title of the next paper presented. It was by Mr. Alfred Harker of St. John’s College, Cambridge, England, and dealt with the effects of high volcanic temperatures in the formation of rocks. He described the results of his re- searches in the lake region of England, where the volcanic forces of nature were particularly well marked. Mr. Harker is a good-looking, nervous-man- nered man, who is quite well known as a pho- tographer and mineralogist, and his paper, like many others, excited considerable discus: sion. President Gilbert just before adjournment said that it was the custom in foreign bodies of a character similar to the society to follow a reg- ular order in the discussion of papers. When 4 paper was finished it was discussed and ques- tions avked, and then the gentleman who pre- sented the paper was given an opportunity to answer the questions and close the discussion. He suggested that out of courtesy to the for- eign scientists prevont at the mecting this rule would be followed by’ the society. Mr. Jobn Walter Gregory of the British Museum, Lon- don, and Dr. Fredrich Schmidt of the Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia, were next on the but Mr. Gregory ing in attendance and Dr. Schmidt wiah- ing to defer his paper for a short while the society adjourned till 2 o'clock this afternoon, when the reading of papers will be continued. GEOLOGICAL SPECIMENS. A very interesting feature of the PAPERS AT THE AFTERNOON SESSION. At the afternoon session, beginning at 2 o'clock, several papers of considerable geolog- eo set’ Pac Other papers presented were by Baron Gerald de Geer, state geologist, Stockholm, Sweden, “On the Quaternary Changes of Level in Scandinavia;’ C.

The returns show an in- crease of assessed value from #16,902,993,543 in 1880 to $24,249,589,804 im 1890. Upon this is based an estimate of €62,610,000,000, or nearly $1,000 per capita as the wealth of the nation. iin 1680 the assessed value of property in the District of Columbia was $99,401,787 and in 1890 it is found to be pry concen an increase of $53,905,754. ‘This isan from “559.62 to $665.42 per capita. secmcentinseemsi ‘ORDERS 48 TO THE POLICE. ‘The Commissioners today parsed the follow- FIGHTING AT VALPARATSO.
