The storm came from the southwest and took its destructive path in a north-| MIS LE MI rly direction, tearing everything | away in its fury. The section through which 1t went is on a flat tableland of | Blount County. There was not the slight- est intimation of its approach until the houses were being torn to pieces. One’ of the first houses destroyed was that of | | Nathan Grifin. The house was de- molished and Mr. Griffin and his son James were killed. Mrs. Griffin was so | badly injured that she died at an early hour this morning. Another son and a | nicce of Mr. Griffin made a miraculous scape, running from the house before ‘the demolition was completed, and sav- ing their lives. They were injured, but | will recover. The house of John McCoy | was the next wrecked, but he and hi 2 escaped with severe bruises. | The home of Henry MeCoy, son of John cCoy, received the worst impact of the storm.

T do not care what happens to him. 1 am willing to let polities alone hereafter if it seems best, byt I shall be glad to know tbat Mahony gets what he de. serves, Frank French corroborated Lee's state- ments in regard to the willfully incorrect method of completing the records. Thomas Doran, the Deputy County Clerk who has charge of the registers, judg- ment books and minutes at the Hall of Justice, was asked at 7 o’clock last night if he would let representatives of The Call inspect the records of which he is the custodjan: He replied immediately that he would be very happy to do so and agreed to meet a reporter at the Hall of Justice at 8:45 o'clock. He did not ap- pear and was finally located at a dance in the Alcazar building. When asked for un expianation of his failure to keep his engagement he replied: “I have recejved orders not to do so, and no one can get a look at those books to-night without an order from Mr. Mahon: He was informed that The Call, on be- half of the citizens of San Frangisco, de- manded the right to see the- public rec- ords. His reply was: “I know you have the right to lock at the books, but I have my orders not 1o open up there to- night. I cannot do it, I want to do what is right, but while I am a Deputy Qounty Clerk I must obey instructions.” Bedds of perspiration were dropping from Doran's face and his appreciation of the situation was thorough. He knew his duty, but the fear of the whip of the political bosses deterred him. The books, or part of them at least, were inspected last, night, Lee’s handwriting identified and his statements in respect to | auestions of land and home rule.

Redmond, | the Irigsh leader, made an important speech in Dublin to-night, in which he ! welcomed the Irish land bill, in spite of its great defeet s the first measure pro- posed by an English Minister having the | avowed object of carrying into effect the policy of Parnell and the Land lecague. He said he did not wish to fovestall the decision of the coming national convention in Dublin. The latter's acceptance of the bill would mean its amendment and its certain passage into law. The rejection of the bill by the convention would mean that both Chief Secretary Wyndham and his bill would disappear. He knew what he was saying when he said that at this moment the positions of the Government, of Mr. Wyndham and of the land bill were all weak positions. Redmond deprecated any /mixing of the He be- lieved that the settlement of the land question would remove the most formida- ble obstacle on the road to home rule, but the suggestion made by some Liberals that the Irish land bill should be accom- panjed by a measure of home rule was dangerous and was likely to wreck the bill. He considered that Ireland ought to be prepared to give Wyndham's attempt to deal with the question a fair trial. ! After outlining desirable amendments to the land bill Redmond expressed surprise that there should be any uncertainty re- garding the reception that Ireland would give to King Edward on his coming visit He was convinced that the King was friendly to Ireland and, except that the Nationalists by their attitude toward the crown were absolutely debarred from giv- ing his Majesty an official reception, he would be welcomed with every courtesy and hospitality. ! L e e e Lol @ the records were proved beyond all ques- tion. The most casual observer could not but take notice of the strange arrani ment of cases, the padding and fill ng. There had evidently been an attempt to remove some of the books. One of them was gone. Another was turned wrong side up. Two adjacent cases had been relieved of records. The person who attempted to | cover the wrongdoing was eitner unfamil- g . with it the mail, baggage and smoking far with lth-‘ office or was hoo oo k:[’{ “; -cars, which were badly smashed. Traffic act intelligently and removed bool 12t was blocked for about twelve hours. had no bearing on the present tions. | There had been a fatal blunder. Emis- saries of the County Clerk and political bosses were hurrying hither and thither Lee was much in demand, but was not to be found. A Deputy County Clerk visited his house with instructions and spent the ening walting to deliver his message. he “push” was ordered out to stop the exposure and numerous councils were held. But it was all to no purpose; the several seceders could not be whipped into | 1ine. Senator Frank French, when approached on the subject of the irregularities in the County Clerk’s office, spoke as follows: Do I know of anythiag wrong in Mahony office? Huh! Yes, I think f do. He took th city money and then tried to pass It up to me. | That s what makes me mad. I could stand slag my job all right, for 1 do not have to ork in the County Cierk's office for a liv- but when he tries to make me out a thief is running against a snag. I'll show him who has done the crooked work. 1 can tell you just how it all was. A year ago Jast March { he began taking money from the filing clerk’s | desk and would leave his L. O.

DEMANDS SETTLEMENT. | in an attempt to hide the facts. he | _ It ran along month after month. In October I had a talk with Mahony about it and he | promised to settle that afternoon. He didn't | keep his promise. He don’t care much about | such things, anyway. He will promise any old | | thing to anybody at any time and that is as | | far as it goes. But to get back. He kept drawing a little money from day to day. I kept kicking. When I got ready to go to Sac- | | ramento to the Legislature I got him one day and sald: ‘“‘Bert, you have taken about $17 of the law library fund and I have your I. O. | U. “for security. I am Tot going to let the | | thing go that way. You must settle.”” He | gave me @ recipt for the money and I have it | | vet and will keep it | ” After I went away he play | kind of a trick. Some of my friends have told | me of it There are a lot cf people around trying to make us buy tigkets for charitable | entertainments. We finally made a fund to | buy th tickets. Each deputy put in 50 cents a month. We had quite & bit of money ‘«n\»d in this fund and Mahony took that and said he had to make good some crooked work | T had done for the law library fund. I was {a good fellow, he told them, and he did not | want_anything about it to be made public. { My friends came to me anl told me all about it. Of course I was mad. When I got back | from Sacramento he had his partner in the beer business as chief deputy and I was out. | 1 made several engagements to have him | square things with me, but there was noth- ing doing. He would prom!ise to meet me and then not show up. I will see that he gels what Is coming to him. 1 have a complaint particularly prepared, which I shall endeavor to present to the Mayor to-morrow. I shall demand an Investigation by the Grand Jury. | He has been juggling with the public funds and is now where he must pay the penalty. 11 know all about that record business. He | was away behind and had no way to get | straight Friends got Lee to help him, and | then he did his usual trick. Les never got s0 much as a word of thanks for all that | work. He helped Mahony in a bad place and | got nothing for his pains. | TELLS OF ASSESSMENTS. Mahony was fond of levying assessments. The first of 1902 he called for a month's pa: all around for campaign expenses. That meant | about $6200, or more, perhaps. Then he want- | ed another month's pay when the Mayor tried | to get him out of office. He sald he needed it to pay Tom Riordan for his services. I un- derstand that Riordan never got his money, but | I cannot vouch for that part of it. Now I hear that Mahony is getting behind in his beer | business and has leyied an assessment of a half month's pay. The boys have ot t gether this time and are not going to stand for | it. He don't know the first principles of his work. I would have kept quiet if he had not tried to get me in a fix by telling the fellows that T had taken that money. I will not for. give him that. It is only right that he be made | to answer for his acts. I have him where I | want him with that receipt for the missing money and he will have hard work to explain that. There are several men in the County | Clerk's office who belong to the so-called | “Crimmins push,” and they have little to | say about their chief. The others are a | unit in the determination to stand for ! their rights. Rumors of an impending ex- posure have been current about the City Hall for two or three weeks. It has been generally believed that Mahony was about at the end of his rope and the timid ones have been scurrying to cover. That affairs in the County Clerk's office ara in a bad way is belleved by practically all the politicians. The end has been waited for many months. 1 me the dirtiest Death of Well-Known Clergyman.

He was | formerly connected with the parishes of St. Joseph, St. Peter and St. Francis in San Francisco and was well known in that city.
