The storm as witnessed from Algona, Iowa, was one of indescribable grandeur. A fannel-shaped cloud uf inky blackness swept along to the northwest, illuminated by almost continuous flashes of lightning and rvar of thunder that was deep and con- tinuous. The opera house was packed with people to witness a popular play, and a panic was almost occasioned by the warring elements. Robert Stevenson, living about four miles north of Whittemore, was the first victim. He was hit in several places and was fatal- ly injured. His grove looked as though it had been mowed down by a scythe. Calvin Barrick’s house, on the Henry Du- rant place, was made into kindiing wood in an instant, and all of its fourteen occupants but two children were Injured. Mrs. Bar- rick was hurt in the back by timber, and jer spine was so injured that her body and lower limbs were paralyzed. A six-year-old boy named Charles Lee was hit on the head and will die. The house of Frederick Pompe Was ccm- pletely demolished, but his wife and five ehileren came out of the wreck unhurt. The force of the wind was such that the barbed wire was stripped from the posts, At George Holman's the roof of his house went, leaving the walls standing, and the whole family was carried up from between the walls and away about thirty rods, one of the children being killed. Carried Through the Air. M. W. Ferguson's family was carried some distance through the air and all but one landed in a willow hedge. The baby went a little further and wes found seated on a piece of the roof. ‘The wife of Swan Peterson had her skull cut open in two places and some exposed parts of her head were literally packed with sand, plaster, hair and grass. The scene of desolation was visited all day by great crowds, every available con- veyance being chartered. The damage to prope-ty wi'l rot be less than $100,000, Most of the farmers were well to do, with snug bank accounts, and others were wealthy, but numbers of the victims, who were renters, lost everything. A Leroy (Minn.) special says: “The cy- clone sufferers are in a very destitute con- dition. The loss will exceed $100,000, Thir- ty families are entirely destitute and many business men have lost their all. Money ts badiy needed. Three thousand sightseers were here tcday.

CAUTION IN LEAVING SAN FRANCISCO Cienfuegos Declares That He Will Not Return. + SAYS HE WILL DIE FIRST a SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., September 24.— Gen. Antonio Ezeta, the Salvadorean refu- gee who was released on Saturday from custody, wnd his attorneys, Messrs. Rubens and De Quesada, have left surreptitiously for Mexico. They had bought their tickets secretly the night before. So careful were they in their efforts to deceive the public that, even after they had bought their railway transportation, they gave out to the press that they would not leave here for several days. Gen, Ezeta was to stay in San Francisco for a week, and the attorneys said they would not de- part till next Wednesday, when they would leave direct for New York. The general, his servant and the two New York attor- neys quietly left the hotel in a carriage an hour before the regular time of departure of the train. They crossed to the Oakland pier ahead of the regular passengers and sought the privacy of their sleepers. Those who some days ago obtained an inkling of the subject of the telegrams ff; ing between here and Mexico say they gath- ered that the consolidation of all Central America with Mexico was being considered; furthermore, that Ezeta's intention was to raise an army there and proceed at once to cust his enemies. Whether it was to regain possession of Salvador only, or to effect a union of some sort, of which he has long dreamed, is not known, but there is little dcubt that it is one or the other. He has not hastened away for nothing. Gen. Colico left.hcre on the 10th instant and went straignt to Mexico City. He at once apparently laid the whole matter before certain influential pecple there and they formulated there plans, being all the time in close corresponden: by telegraph with ex-President Ezeta. The telegrams from Mexico, since then, have been coming thick and fast, and there is probably some foun- dation for current rumors. Lieut. Col. Juan Cienfuegos,whose extradi- tion to San Salvador on a charge of at- tempted murder has been ordered by Judge Morrow, spent a lonely Sunday in his cell at the Alameda county jail. He said that he was contident of regaining freedom as soon as his case is brought before the Pres- ident, and declares that he would commit suicide rather thar. be extradited. “1 expect to be free in four or tive days,” said Cienfuegos in Spanish, “for Ezeta and the others started for Washington this morning in my behalf. Not hnowing a | word of English makes it very difficult for me to be understood and very hard to be locked up like this in a fereign country. 1 have several friends here, however, who call | to see me. “Go back to San Salvador? Neve would rather die a thousand deaths. When asked what he would do if he had to go he replied: “I most certainly would take my life, rather anything t have my enemies, who are waiting to assasinate me, hance to triumph over me.

This is an age of insurance, nearly every one feeling it to be a business necessity that some incor- porated company should take the risk of accidents or acts of Providence which de- stroy life or property. Nearly every scheme of insurance conceivable has been inaugurated, but this one brilli: con- ception was reserved for a gentleman of the Pacific coast, who is now negotiating for the organization of a company and Proposes to insure government employes’ continuance in office. It is well known that every employe of the government, whether in or out of the classitied service, is constantly in dread of dismissal. The inauguration of the civil reform has, in a measure, relieved this apprehension among certain classes of clerks, but even these are not safe from dismissal, as has been very vigorously demonstrated during this administration. The proposition is to take advantage of this uncertainty of tenure of office to in- duce the clerke and other employes to take out policies insuring them one year's sal- ary if dismissed from the service. The Plan is to classify the policies just as the service fs classified, with monthly premiums to be paid by the clerks rated according to the grade in which they belong. A $000 clerk will be insured for $00 on the pay- ment of a certain premium and the chief of a bureau getting $2,000 or $5,000 paying a cor- respondingly higher rate for the amount of cne year of his salary. It is the belief of the promoters of this scheme that nearly every emplcye in the government service will take out a polic in the company and the many thousand such employes would thus insure an im- mense business. It is proposed, of course, to throw about the policy suck safeguards as would prevent a policy holder from will- fully bringing about his dismissal for the purpose of securing his policy. It is un- derstood that the only question in connec- tion with the organization is whether the government would favor or disapprove. Of course, if the government should oppo: such a scheme it would be difficult to make it successful. Otherwise it will probab! not be long before the government employes: have their salaries insured as they would their lives. One great difficulty in the way of the scheme is that the government will be alarmed at the idea of a large corporation having an immense financial interest in keeping the employes constantly in serv- ice. The dismissal of a clerk holding a policy with this company would be resisted with all the power and influence possessed by the corporation, and, as reinstatement would relieve the company from the neces- sity cof paying a policy, ther infiuence would be exercised always to get back into service those dismiss Such a scheme of insurance would probably be much more effective than the civil service law in keep- ing people in office.

In reporting to thé Cummissioners upon the complaint of Henry Koons, 1115 D street northeast, ofthe jfilthy condition of the tracks of the East Washington branch of the Eckington railroad, In- spector Beaumont recommends that the proper persons be compelled to keep the tracks clean and in a proper sanitary con- rbage Collection in St. Louis. the request of the Commissione Chief Clerk Sylvester, during a recent visit to St. Louis, made an irvestigation into the method of collecting and disposing of gar- bage in that city. His report has been sub- mitted to the Commissioners and contains a number of suggestions that may prove of value. Automatic Fire Alarm. The treasurer of the tire alarm company whose automatic system was established in the Stumph building has addressed a lengthy communication to the Cor-missicn- ers protesting against the manner in which alarms transmitted by that system are handled et the fire alarm headquarters ia this city. The fact that these alarms were treated simply as “locals,” to which a sin- gle engine only respcnded, was the princi- pal subject of comp!aint. The letter has been referred to the chicf of the fire de- partment for a report, upon receipt of is the subject will be given considera- tion. Firemen’s Relief Fund. The treasurer of the United States re- ports to the Commissioners that he has purchased for account of the firemen's re- Nef fund $3,000 United States 4 per cent bonds, amounting to $3,427.50, School House Wells. The health officer has submitted to the Comm'ssioners an additional report, em- bracing the result of a continuation of in- vestigation into the condition of the water from wells supplying the public schools. The combined result of chemical and bac- teriolegical examinations of different s ples is as follows: Mott School, th and ‘Trambull streets—Chemical! suspicious; bacteriologically, good. ‘Tenleytown, schoob—Chemicaily, suspicious; bacteriol ally; bad. The health officer will another examination made of water from the Mott School. Meantime, he thinks the water may be safely used. ‘In the case of the Tenleytown school he recommends that the well be closed if other water supply be available. It not, the well should be thor- oughly cleaned and the source of contami- naticn, which is possibly surface drainage, removed. Meanwhile the water should be boiled before using. Wants the Street Widened. John Miller, treasurer and ma ager of the shirgton Erick and Terra Cotta Com- has written to the Commissioners re- questirg that the sidewalk on K_ street ast, south side, between 3d and 4th up end relaid not over eight feet wide. He states that it is now 16 1-2 feet wite and the gutter is 31-2 fe ving scarcely six feet of roadway, which Ss the m- IN MUSICAL CIRCLES Proposition to Form a Manuscript Club in Washington. Pian to Secure the Best Local Pianists at a Recital—The Seldl Series of Concerts. A movement has been started to form a manuscript society among the musicians in this city similar to the organization of that name which has had a successful career in New York. There have been no delinite plans rede out as yet, but a number of the leading musicians in the city have been communicated with by Mr. D. G. Pfeiffer, who is the originator of the idea, and it is hoped thet the object will be accomplished. In speaking of the cause of the movement, Mr. Pfeiffer said that every ether branch | of art or science has its own especial or- ganization or club, where members cculd assemb’e and meet each other with the view to an interchange of opinions and ideas which would be mutually beneficial, and which also tended to promote social har- mony. In the art of music alone its rep- resentatives were unbound by any ties of general club membe: p, and there was no effort to bring them together for either so- cial or improvement purposes. He referred to the Art Students’ League, where all in- verested in the advancement of art could co and meet upon a common level at least during the social reunions, and to the Cos- mos Club, where the representatives of philosophy and science had formed an or- ganization that was one of the most in- fluential of its kind in the country. Wash- ington has a large number of musicians of dccided ability, and the meeting together at least crce a month, where a song composed by ene could be suag or an instrumental composition could be played, and then the merits of these new works discussed in a friendly manner, would be of the greatest advantage and would tend stilt further to develop ihe art in this community. M-. Pfeiffer says he has received several very gratifying responses, and ke looks forward with pleasurable anticipation to the first sneeting. Mr. Ernest Lent, who is weil known as a celioist, a composer and an cnthusiastic musician, has ccnceived the idea of some time during the coming season giving a piano recital, in which the leading pianists of the District shall be the pesformers, each contributing one number. It is believed thai such an entertainment would be highly suc- cessful on nccount of its novelty and also on account of the opportunity the public would have of hearing the best pianists un- der the most favorable circumstances and all in a single evening. Washington has a large number of pianists who are way above the average, and among them may be men- tioned Miss Lotta Mills, Mrs. Ernest Lent, Miss Alice Burbage, Mrs. Alice Speir Burns, Miss Mary Dashiells, Mr. John Porter Law- rence, Anton Gloetzner, William Waldecker, Arthur D. Mayo, D. G. Pfeiffer, Henry Xander, while of those heard in years gone by recently appeared before the public as so- Joi: may be mentioned Mr. George W. Walter and Dr. Harry C. Sherman. One of the mort enjoyable series of con- certs which is to be given during this season will be that of Mr. Anton Seidl and his excellent orchesira. Although Mr. Seidl has paid but few visits to this cits he at once became an established favorite and the work of his orchestra was high!s who used to . —" INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. AMUSEMENTS ...

Moses in the public hay scales at Bright- wood, and asking that he be allowed to ccntinue weighing hay until he could nego- tiate with the administrator of Mr. Muses, the attorney for the District in his opinion to the Commissioners today holds that on the death of Mr. Moses his rights in the hay scales at Brightwood passed to his legal representatives. Mr. Osborn should make his application to the latter. —_s_— THE COURTS. Equity Court, No. 1—Judge Cox. Orme agt. Allen; priorities fixed and sale in care of default. Orme agt. Carter; do., do.

The soloists will include Mme Emma Juch, Miss Lillian Blauvelt, Mrs. Julie P. Wyman, Miss Lotta Mills, pianist; Siz. Giuseppe Campanari (by permission of Ab- bey & Grau), Herr Emil Fischer, and, at the second concert Ysaye, the great Belgian violinist, his first appearance in Washing- ton. Also two of the greatest living vocal- ists, now in Eurepe, both great favorites in this city, and for the closing concert Mr. Ben. Davies, the celebrated English tenor. The first concert of the series will be given Tuesday evening, October 23, when the soloists will be Miss Lilllan Blau- velt, soprano, and Miss Lotta Mills, pianist. “The Baronet” is a romantic opera by the Messrs. Harris, and the third one in a series it is their intention to stage in mid- winter of this season. The company will be the Washingtonians, who so successfully sang “The Three Dukes” in May last, but with a number of valuable additions. “The Baronet” pictures high and low iife in Dev- onshire, Englard, during the reign of George Til. It has two acts—the first open- ing with the festival of St. Bartholomew, the second with the interior of the old baronial castle of Brockenbore. Sir Oliver Falstole, Bart., a comedian; his daughter, Lady Gertrude, mezzo soprano, and Jasper, also a comedian, valet de cham to the baronet and his adviser in matters legal as well as in decorum, are introduced to the audience at the scene of merrymak- ing. The tenor, Rodolphe, Earl of Strath- moore, is supposed to wed Gertrude. This he does rot do; first, because he prefers the fair Phyllis, soprano, daughter to Picod, keeper of the “Stag’s Head” Inn, and bass comedian; and, second, because Gertrude commits the blunder of falling in love with Wilfred, Marquis of Dunskerk, baritone, and friend of Rodolphe, mistaking him for that gentleman, to whom she was pledged in infancy. These complications keep the opera going till the termination of the sec- ond and last act, when they are straight- ened out to the satisfaction of all con- cerned. Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, the young Cali- fornia prima donna, who’ returned recent! from Paris, made her initiatory tour in country last April and June. She is pro- nounced a remarkable soprano, having a compass of voice extending from g, below the staff, to E in altissimo, a range of nearly four octav. Her high notes are said to be absolutely flawless in their purity, and the surprise is that a voice reaching such an altitude should possess such breadth and beautiful quality of tone in a lower nd medium register. It is understood that Washington will have an opportunity to hear her with her company thiss winter. Another young lady violinist, Miss Dora Va- lesca Becker, has appeared in New York, and is rapidly coming to the front. In a recent concert with Thomas’ Orchestra she had an immer iecess, and her rich, sympathetic tone and marvelous technical pecially commented upon.
