Excitement in the Wheat Pit There DISASTROUS STORMS IN THE WEST The Suburban Race Run on Epsom Downs. SOUTHERN GOVERNORS MEET STORM IN FIVE STATES. Loss of Life and Destruction of = Grest Amount of Property. Cuicaco, April 12—Storms last night wrought such havoc with tho telegraph wires that it is almost impossible to obtain partic- ulars of the damage done in the west, where the destruction seems to have been general and widespread in the states of Iowa, Lilinois, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri. Probably the greatest damage was done in Towa, although reports from Nebraska indicate that when full particulars have been received that state will lead in loss of ty and hu- man life. Along the line of the Chicago, Mil- waukee and St. Paul railroad in Iowa and Ne- braska the storm cut a wide swath. The town of Akron in the former state was wrecked and Westfield, » few miles distant, was badly demoralized. | Meager reports from localities in the interior show that devastation was widespread, although its fall extent will not be known for several days owing to the lack of telegraphic facilities and the washing out of the country roads, rendering communi- cation difficult and in many cases impossible, Continuing along the railroad in Nebraska the storm swept up farm buildings. fences and bridges and finally swooped down’ on the town of Page, which it wrecked. At this point the first loss of life was re- grad Mrs. Clara Magee being the victim. ler two children were dangerously injured, and several other persons were hurt. The storm traveled with great velocity,, covering the two hundred miles between Akron and Page in an hour anda half. Damage was done far- ther west, but owing to the complete prostra- tion of the telegraph wires absolutely no par- ticulars are obtainable. The cyclone was accompanied by a down- pour of rain, which added greatly to the dis- comfort of those who were rendered homeless, and the situation in Page is described as being distressing. The streets are filled with debris of all sorts, and the water has made p: in every direction almost impossible. DAMAGE AT PARKER, KAN. From Kansas the news is till more meager. It is known that the town of Parker, on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road, was struck by acycione and that the residence portion of the village was almost completely destroyed. Several persons are reported anda num- ber seriously burt. ‘The towns of Willis and Powhatan, » short distance south of Hiawatha, are also said to have been wiped out, but nothing authentic can be learned. In the northern part of the state storm swept over the town of Walnut, causing great damage, and swept off northward into Missouri. In the intter state the towns of Maywood, Page City and Higgineville were wrecked and all along the route houses were blown down, outhouses and fences destroyed and cattle Killed. At Page City Wm. Walker and his two children were killed. At Stansberry a number of houses were wrecked, and Wm. Ward, col- ored, was killed and his wife fatally injured. Kansas City was visited less severely, but thousands of windows were broken by hail and cellars on the flats flooded. The storm ex- tended to St. Louis also, and played havoc with steamboats lying at the wharves. ‘The steamer D. H. Pike, with five men aboard, was blown adrift and has not since been heard of. The | harbor boat City of St. Louis, with several men on board, is also missing. Two wharf boats anchored close by met a similar fate, but it is believed that no one was on board of them. Throughout the city the wind caused general destruction. ‘Trees were blown down, roots carried away and outhouses blown down. A new building on North Broad- way was completely wrecked, causing a loss of $50,000. Several persons are reported seriously injured. GENERAL THROUGHOUT THE WEST. ‘The storm seems to have been general throughout the west and south, extending down into Texas and north into the Dakotas. In Ilinois cloudbursts occurred at various | | places, the most destructive being at Centralia, | where the water rose toa height of three fect | inthe streets. At Springficld the street cars were compelled to suspend operations 2=d ‘erywhere damage is reported. Tne owantry south of Springticld to East St. Louiat» flouded. Floods are also reported from Ottunes end Burlington, Ia., and Mitcbell, ‘The telegraph companies have practically gone out of business 4o far as the country west of the Mississippi river is concerned. Whole sections of poles are down and the wires are in an inextricable tangle. It will be several days before the damage can be fully repaired. Cixctxxati, Oni0, April 12.—A terrific gale swept over this city between 3 and 4 o'clock this morning. The signal station reported the elocity of the wind af veventy-cight miles per jour. AWFUL SCENES AT AKRON, IOWA. Omaua, Nes., April 12.—The town of Akron, Towa, which was wrecked by the storm yester- day, is on the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, thirty miles north of this city, and hada population of about 800 persons.” Shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon it began to grow dark and in half an hour it was necessary to have artificial light. About 3 o'clock the storm struck the piace. It wes a regular whirlwind and came from the northeast. Houses were thrown from their foundations and overturned and many of them blown to pieces. A double-span wagon bridge across the Sioux river was wrenched from the piers and dashed up against the river bank. ‘The iron rods were twisted and bent out of all shape. A large elevator was demolished and the debris carried aczoss railroad tracks and deposited on the site of a lumber yard, while the lumber yard and buildings were carried back and deposited where the elevators stood. Cars that were loaded with stone stand- ing on the railroad tracks were picked the wind and turned completely over. Nearly every building in the town was more or less damaged. Chimneys were blown down and crashed through the roofs, and many roofs biown off and carried far from the houses. ‘The damage in the town cannot be extimated, as darkness came on as soon as the storia was over and everything is in confusion. The streets were littered with bedding and other articles of household furniture. Several were killed ‘and injured, but it is impossible now to obtain | definite detail A TORNADO SWEEPS THROUGH INDIANA.

An Irrepressible feeling of admiration, and even half sympathy for ‘the plucky little devil,” as he was irreverently alluded toin the crowded pit, began to spread rapidly. It was ‘the talk that Fardridge had for the moment won the big battle, but on the other hand there were whispers that before the deal closed he would meet his Waterloo, Nothing was discussed except the affairs of the famons “short” and rib was waiting for the hour of 11:30 o'clock with ill-concealed anxiety.

There was nothing but what the President of the United States could applaud. : GOV. FISHBACK TEMPORARY GHAIRMAN. Gov. McKinney closed by nominating Gov. Fishback temporary chairman of the conven- tion. He was elected with applause. Governor Fishback ascended to the chair and after expressirg his appreciation for the honor conferred responded to the welcome of Gov- ernor McKinney. He said the language was that of generous, genuine Virginia hospitality. The speaker laid stress upon the fact that thore was nothing selfih or sectional in the gathering, not simply because this is a southern gathering are we welcome here, vut he wanted it uaderstood that the governor of any state in the grand old Union would be gladiy welcomed. ‘The speaker briefly referred to the social prob- Jems of the south and closed by thanking the convention. ‘Then came a break in the solemnity of the roceedings by the election of Col.

Hornthal and Alfred Hocksiader, president and vice president, respectively, on a charge of criminal conspiracy made against them by some of the locked-out cutters, It is generally feared that the arrests will tend to stay the proceedings that had been in- stituted at the request of the cutters and gar- ment workers for an amicable settlement of the differences. —_—_ AIMED AT THE BAGGAGE SMASHER.

LOOKING FOR FKEEMAN’S ASSAILANTS The Police Think ficted € Died From Injuries In- istinas Night. The officers of the 4th precinct are investi- gating the case of the colored bootblack, Turner Freeman, whose death. according to the coroner's jury, resulted form the effects of in- juries inflicted by some person or persons to the jury unknown, aa pub- Inhed in yesterday's Stax. In making the investigation the officers have learned who assaulted Freeman Christmas night, but they have made no arrest as they hope to be able to cause the arrest of the person or persons who are responsible for the more recent injuries. Although the autopsy showed that the frac- tare of the skull was of recent occurrence, and the doctor's n was that the fracture was caused within twenty-four hours of the man's death, the officers are still of the opinion that the Christmas night assault near the James Creek canal had something to do with his death. As published in yesterday's Star, Freeman suffered with spasms after his treatment at that ime, and from time to time he showed evi- dences of @ disordered mind, both of which, it 1s thought, were due directly to the as sault. addition to this there was a discharge of from the ear.” All these conditions, the aficers think, had some bearing on the man’s death: althengh their investigation will be directed toward learning if possible something of Freeman's movements last week just previous to his death. Nothing has yet been learned concerning the whereabouts of Freeman's mother further than that she isin Ohio. The body was buried in the potter's field yesterday afternoon after the inquest was held. cee THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
