Very few of the arrangements have been perfected, howeyer, as both Bishop Hurst, the chan- cellor, and Dr. S. L. Beiler, the vice chan- cellor, are out of town and will not return until the Ist of October. The annual meet- ing of the trustees of the university, of which Mr. John E. Andrus of New York is the president, will take place on the fore- noon of the day before. The contractor in charge of the work on History Hall has pushed the work steadily forward, until the brick work is now up to the first floor, and the workmen have about finished placing the granite course around the foundations, while all the rough-stone masonry is com- pletely finished. Ten carloads of marble from the Columbian marble quarries in Vermont have arrived, and will be used for the body of the building. The university has just received a promise of a valuable collection of Indian relics, chiefly from Blennerhassett Island, in the Ohio river, which was made famous by Aaron Burr. They are from Prof. Henry Stahl of Parkersburg, W. Va. One of the features of the collection consists in the fact that it is not simply a mass of ma- terial, but a classified collection. It shows implements and weapons of the later In- dian population and of the mound bulld- ers who preceded them. It also shows characteristic properties of the aborigines, whose work is more proved and inartistic. Prof. Stahl was offered over $3,000 for the collection by an English institution, but he preferred that it should stay in America. The university is already in possession of quite a large collection of curios and valu- able relics, not the least important of which are a large number of relics and docu- ments bearing on the early religious life of the American peoplk a CONSIDERABLE DISASTER CAUSED. Extent of the Cyclone’s Sweep Yes- Paris is much stirred up and excited over yesterday’s cyclone, which developed into a disaster of considerable proportions. The number of minor casualties and injuries to persons are numerous and other reports are constantly being received. Over five hundred injured have thus far been re- forted to one fire house alone, and five dead. Several men and women had their skulls fractured by the falling of some gates be- hind which they had sought shelter from the stcrm. A cab driver, who had taken refuge in his cab, and his horses were killed together and the cab demolished. Nine members of the staff of La France who were leaving the Tribunal ‘ie Com- merce when the storm suddenly broke were all seriously injured, one having his skull fractured. At least @ dozen persona were carried bodily into the Seine from the bridges and from the quais and were rescued with great difficulty, several being injured and left in a critical condition, so that they had to be taken to the hospitals. ‘The breaking of the storm was eccom- panied by many demonstrations of fright by individuals and by crowds, the panic of one spreading to others, the lowering sky and the howling of the tempest, filling the air with flying debris, frightening the crowds in the streets out of self-control. Everybody started to run, without much regard to obstacles, personal or otherwise, that might come in thelr way, and there was shouting and screaming to add to the confusion. ‘The damage to property was widespread and serious. The first tempest of wind, whieh did most of the damage, was imme diately succeeded by torrents of rain, and cellars all over Paris are fiooded.
