VALPARAISO, Neb., July 6.—|Special to the BEE. ) —Yesterday afternoon about 5:45 a cyclone formed about two miles northeast of town and, traveling ip a southeasterly di- rection, first struck the residence of E. L. Lister in the east part of town, literally tear- Ing it into kindling wood. It next struck the house of Mrs, Hays, demolishing it. Both families had taken refuge in a cave and es- caped. The next and only other building in the track of the cyclone was a small stable, which was lifted from its foundation, leav- ing a span of mules uninjured. It now lost its force and disappeared, Ilad it taken a coursa through the center of town great de- struction would have resulted, as 1ts power seemed very great. No thunder or light- ning accompanied i, but as the ground was very dry great clouds of dust were carried up by ‘it, hiding the center from view. It first appeared in the form of a white funnel, corn ing down from a very dark cloud, and w met by another of dust and flying timbers, ete. Fortunately no rain has hindered the athoring together of the scattered house~ old goods of the families thus left home- less. Your correspondent had & close view of the storm and is perfectly satistied with its neainess to him, and never wants to see another. Great excitement prevalled in town while the eyclone was in sight, which was not over twenty minutes, as from its slow and wavering motion its course ahead was very umcertain. Its track was about two miles long and only about three or four rods in width, Lawyer’s Day at Orete.

The Oakland Hail Storm. OAKLAND, Neb,, July 6.—(Special to the Bre.)—The hail storm yesterday afternoon played sad havoe with the growing crops northwest, west and southwest of here, ‘There was more wind, hence the reason for greater damage than in town, Corn was beaten and broken down, tops burled in the ud, wheat more than two-thirds ruined, and munz tields were just ready to be har- vested, Oats were dainaged but not so much as wheat, not being so ripe. Garden veg- etables, with the exception of potatoes, are smnplehlly ruined, Grapes are fully half estroyed, also apples, and many farmers are minus their winacw panes. Old settlers say it was by tar the severest hail storm that ever occurred here. Large hail was still to be found on the ground on many farms this morning. It is believed it was the severest northwest of here, and did not reach more than five mjles west, one mile east, and as far as heard from, it reached as far nortn, or farther, than Lyons, Farmers that have had all their crops so damaged are feeling very despondent, as their prospects before the storm for bountitul crops were flattering.

Some Very Funny Sayings Investi- gated at Leavenworth, LeAvENWORTH, Kan., July 6.—Before the Pacific investigation committee to-day several witnesses testified that the ovperation of the Kansas Central and other branches by the Union Pacilic as subordinate to the main line acted as a discrimination in favor of Kansas City, ete. General James C. Stone testified that he was one of the promoters and organizers of the Leavenworth, Pawnee & Western railway, which subsequently became the Kansas Pacific. While giving his testimony, he was shown a copy of & memorandum found among General John C. Fremont's papers purporting to account for the dispo- sition of $4,000,000 of stock of the Leaven- worth, Pawnee & Western railway by Gen- eral Stone and General Thomas Ewing, jr., to secure the passage of the Paclfic railroad bill. Itgives the names of the parties to whom its stock purported to have been is- sued, the original of the memorandum con- taining running comments in the hand- writing of this witness to the several items. When asked ns to those comments he testified that be wrote them as an expression not of himself, but of Sam [Hallett, or others, who were inter- ested. In this memoranduin opposite to R. W. McBratney, 2,000 shares, was the re- miark, “Supposed to be for Pomeroy.” [Pomeroy was senator from Kansas_then.] ite the item Henry Bennett, Elmira, B ,000 shares, $1,000,000, was the com- ment, “Supposed to be for H. Bennett, J. P, Usher, Caleb Smith and B. Thompson,” and the additional comment, “Usherand Bennett right: let Smith and Thompson slide.” ite the item E. W. Chase, Chaseville, , was the comment: “But little service, tly blackmail’” Uplms]le the item, “'O. F, Cowan, 3,900 shares, £105,000,” was the re- mark: “Supposed to before ‘I'. Stevens,” and the additional remark: “If any of this stock or land or money promised this man 1s really for Thaddeus Stevens, that part ought to be respected, site the item “Mrs, Wal- lis, of New York Herald, 400 shares, $20,000,” was the word “Right.” Opposite the' item “Dewey, New York, shares, $40,000,” was the word **Blackmail.” Upg&-’ site the item “Wilson, New York Times, shares, $10,000,”” was the word “Rignt.” Op- te the ite 3, F.

Opposite the item *‘Jones” 100 shares, £5,000, was the comment “Sup- ased to be Forney’s friend.” Opposite the temn “Ross, Fletcher, Holliday and Stinson, Kansas, 2,000 shares 120,000, was the com- ment, ‘llold over themi In tepror.” Witness disclaimed any personal knowledge as towhen this stock was actually ~ got. ~ He did not know personally that any of it had been given for the purpose of corrupting legisla- tion.

The following denominations are repre- sented: Congrecational, Presbyterian, Baptist, Catholle, Reformed Christian, Lu- theran, Friends, Episcopal, Moravian and Unitarian, e Gloomy Crop Reports, 81, PAvr, Joly 5.—Some very gloomy re- ports are coming lfrom southern Minnesota about the da mage to crops of all kinds by the drought and chinch bugs. The wheat crop is badly injured in spots, and while the general crop of the state will be fully up to the av age, the individual loss in Mower, Filmore, ico and Renville counties will be heavy, Chineh bugs are destroying the eorn in most places, and that crop will be shortened con- siderably. In the central and aorthern por- tions of the state crops are ail right. Crops in Dakota are doing well everywhere, P The Fate of McGlynn, NEW Yorxk, July 6.—The position of Dr. McGlynn was the chief subject of conversa- tion in Catholie circles yesterday., The pros- pect Is that the verdict of excommunication will o formally into force, and will not be the cause of any public ceremonial In any church. It is an undoubted fact that there bas lately been a gradual but sure return of worshippers to St. Stephens, and there is little doubt that McGlynu'’s excommunication will turn four-fifths of his supporters still left him among his old parishioners. e Reform of the Alphahet, BURLINGTON, Vt., July8.—This morning's session of the American institute of Instruc- tion opened with a large attendance, After the usual preliminary business the president J.

A SLY DEMOCRATIC SCHEME, The Utah Constitutional Convention Part of a Deep Laid Plan, UTAH AS A SET OFF TO DAKOTA. The True Secret of the Visit of a Stateaman—Commissioner Sparks’ Reply to Drought Stricken Col- orado Farmers. Cunning Mormons. WASHINGTON, July 6.—(Special Telegram to the Beg.) -1t isunderstood that the ad- winistration is playing for the admission of Utah luto the union. The report of the com- mittee in the Mormon constitutional conven- tion in favor of making bigamy and polyg- amy a misdemeanor, and in reality of the en= tire separation of church and state has awnk- ened the democrats to more declsive action. Solicitor General Jenks is 1n Utaha pending the action of the convention on tue report and it is said that the object of his visit is to manage the necessary negotiations for the ad- mission of the territory. Ior several yearsthe democrats in the house have opposed the ad- mission of Dakota on political grounds alone. 1t is possible that this game cannot be played much longer, and democrats think that they can see their way to admit Utah as a set off to Dakota. In spite of the vigorous manner in which the Mormons are apparently mak- ing haste to correct their errors of many years standing it will be hard to divest their motives of suspicion. The country would rather see them underzoa certain reriod of probation before belng taken into Mr. Jenks is a very astute lawyer and & good judge of men, but it would be well if this be the object of his visit to subject every one to the closest possi- ble scrutiny. Forced Out By Drought, WasiNGroN, July 6.—Commissioner Sparks, of the general land office, has re- cetved a letter from the public land entry- man in eastern Colorado stating thatv the drought has already greatly damaged crops in that section and that if it continues much longer the crops will be a complete failure; that insects have destroyed growing vegeta- bles, and that there is absolutely no feed for stock. The entryman states that his neigh- bors are forced to leave their holdings fo ob- tain the pecessities of lite, andacks if this absence will operate to_defeat_their claim when final proof is offered. The commis- sloner, in answer, says that whatever relief may be possible within the discretion of the oftice will be extended to enable scttlors suf- fering from such afllictions to preser their elaims. Settlers who are obliged to leave r claims on account of drought should be prepared to account for their ab- sence from this cause when they make their final proof, but in such cases the proof should not be offered until the law has been lull{ complied with after their return to the land. An enforced absence on account of climatic reasons will not imperil their clal if the fact is established when proof is m and if proof is not attempted to be made advance of the time when residence, im- provement and cultivation required by law can be satisfactorily shown, Land Olaims Denled. WAsHINGTON, July 6.—Secretary Lamar to-day denied the application made on be- half of the heirs of sohn F. Bouligny for certificates of location amounting to 75,540 acres, in satisfaction of one-sixth part of a private land claim of one I)’Auterive, con- firmed to said heirs by act of March 2, 157, The act referred to confirmed the claims and directed the commissioner of the general land oflice to issue certificates ~ of location, 'I'wenty-ei:ht days thereafter congress passed a joint resolution suspending the execution of the contirmatory act, which resolution still re- mains intact. It was urged in behalf of the claimants that the joint resolution was un - constitutional, and that the secretary of the interior should so declare it. This the secre- tary declined to do, holding that the courts are the proper tribunals to determine the constitutionality of an act of congress. Military Matters. WASHINGTON, July 6.—[Special Telegram to the B —Second Lieutenant Henry I, Allen, of the Second cavalry, has been granted a six months’ leave of absence with permission to leave the United States.

Utilizing the Ocean for Transmission of Messages. PruiLAverLrmia, July 6.—|Special Tele- gram to the Beg.|—Thomas Edison is here buying an electrical apparatus for his labra- toryat Orange, N. Y. He sald to-day that had spent over $2,000,000 in experiments. Then he sat down and told about his latest discovery, by which messages can be trans- mitted from ship to ship by means of steam whistles operated by keys very much like the telegraph system. All his experiments 8o far have been confined to the waters of the Caloosahatchie, where he has succeeded in conveying intelligible messages a distance of one mile. The vrineiple upon which Edi- son will endeavor to perfect his experiment is the remarkable faculty offered by water for transmitting sound. Divers in the ocean have heard thie swish of steamers’ wheels when fifteen miles away, and from ship to ship at a distance of at least seven 1iiles. He purposes, atter he has perfected lis ap- paratus, to have the large ocean steamers equipped with _steam whis- tles and transmitters. Under the water line of each steamer will be a sounder con- nected with the eaptain’s cabin by a light transmitting wire running through the tube. When the captain of one vessel wants to sig- nal anotler te will sit down at his key- board, turn the steam on his whistles, wa- nipulite the keysand' send messages out into the waves that break against his sound ers, The sound will pass unbroken from wave to wave until it runs up against the sounder of anothier vegsel that may be \ith- in reach of the volume of sound. As soon as the sound waves strike the sounder of the hull of the el within reach the message will run over the electrieal wire to the cap- tain’s cabin where it will ring one electrical bell. An attendant will then take down the ge as it comes from the water by means eys, as comfortably and correet S though he were sitting ip a telegraph office. After the message has been re ved the cay tain can swing the vessel around and con- tinue the message through seven miles more of water in the same direction until it strikes another vessel when the operation may be again repeated, until the breadth of the ocean has been crossed. FEdison seems to be con- fident that his experiments will succeed. L e ROODLE JURY FIXERS, Funny Work Discovered in the Chi- cago Trial.
