Training for boat races may be all very well
but ''those who know are well aware that
the training should be looked after little by
the thorough men of science in colleges
which encourage the sport, and not left to
mere empyrics, who may seriously impair the
systems of enthusiastic and indiscreet young
oarsmen. The medical Professor as well as
the trainer should have his eye on the boys.
A little judicious supervision will not impair
the efficiency of the work, and may prevent
the serious consequences which frequently
follow over-training.

TERRIBLE TORNADO AT ST. LOUIS.
A MARKET HOUSE-oNE MAN KILLED
AND SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED

A MARKET HoUSE-oNE MAN KILLED
AND SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED
MUCH DAMAGE DONE.
ST. LOUIS, March 30.-A very severe
thunder and lightning storm passed over
this city about o'clock this evening, &C
compauied by heavy rain. During the
storm tornado from the south west struck
large brick market house on Seventh
ST., between Square and Poplar, and level
ed the northern half of it to the ground
in an instant. Most of the roof and sew.
eral heavy timbers were carried across
Seventh st, and, striking the building
opposite, knocked two great holes in il
aud exposing the rooms.
The following are the names of the in
jured John Heck, back severely hurt,
causing paralysis in the lower part of the
body; will probably die. Mrs. Flori, com
pound fracture of the left lower leg flesh
badly lacerated Edwin Flcri, internally
hurt, and shoulder torn by meat hook.
George White, badly cut about the head,
Henry Lipardt, internally hurt. John
Burger, arm broken bruised in various
places. Two or three others were bruis
ed slightly.
The body of Charles NJ. Dyer of Tole
Go, Ohio, was found this afternoon under
portion of the roof which was blown
from the market house last night. Dyer
was young man, 16 years of age, who,
in company with Il. NJ. Sireeter, his tutor,
aud one or two other gentlemen, had just
arrived by a Missouri Pacific train, and
was walking through the market house
on their way up town when the tornado
struck the market house The party
scattered, each seeking safety for himself
Dyer rushed into Seventh St., aud was
over taken by large mass of metal roof
ing, which struck him on the top Of the
head, crushing his skull evidently killing
him instantly.
a portion Of the roof Of the virtiol fac
tory corner of Austin and Fourteenth sts
was blown off, and Dennis Dunn, work
man, was badly wounded. Other dam
ages in various points in the city are re
ported to- day, but none seriously. In
East st. Louis the roof Of the round house
belonging to the Terre Haute Railroad
was blown off, Several locomotivns were
somewhat injured, and John Myers and
another man were wounded.
The steamer H. G. Yeager, and ferry
boat in the harbor, lost their chimneys,
and the steamer Northwestern, was blown
across the river. The part of the mark
ethouse destroyed was about 80 feet long,
4o feet wide, and % feet high. 1t will
cost, probably, $4,000 to rebuild it
The loss to the butchers is about $40 900.

Eg-GOvERNoR GEARY appended his sig
nature to the Local Option bill early last
week and it is now law of the State. As it
finally passed both branches of the Legis-
Iature it might better be called general
option law, for It's provisions are made to
operate By counties and cities, not by town
ships and boroughs. It is understood that
it does not conflict with or supersede special
acts already passed. The first vote is to be
taken in the spring of 1873, nearly yeal
hence. The enactment of this statute is u
clear gain of 50 much to the advocates of
restrictive legislation, and the vote by coun-
ties viii indicate pretty closely the state OF
popular feeling in regard to the sale of
liquors. OF course where licenses continue
to be granted the present laws on the subject
viii remain In operation. The new law, we
take it for granted, was passed in good faith,
an response to the immense number of petit
tions addressed the Legislature expressive Of
public sentiment in regard to the question.
But as another session of the Legislature will
he held before it goes into practical opera
ton, it is quite probable that efforts viii be
made to repeal or annul it, and then We shall
have revival of the contest. t.-Batchs Co.

the whole period was "a pounds per week

The eevidence of George O. Evans as to
the disposition made of the exorbitant com
mission allowed him for collecting State claims
at Washington, recently taken at New York
by Legislative committee, has been pub
lL.hed in detail According to his story very
little of the enormous sum retained by him
was used for his own benefit, but the money
was distributed in parcels among his personal
friends. OF these one S. p Brown got $50,
600, not as a right, but as mater Of per-
sonal honor Evans declared distinctly that
neither Gov Geary, Col. Forney, Col Jor-
dan or Mr. Mackey ever got any Of the COM
missions. He gave j. Robley Dunglison
$500 as "a matter of PERSONAL friendship. :"
In reply to the question, ''What has become
of the 1921, 900 you received az commission?
Evans said:
81 have explained that it was expended
In extraordinary expenses, in arranging and
collecting these claims and in the payment
of large sums of Indebtedness previously in
cured-debts which considered | was hon
Orably bound to discharge, although perhaps
not legally bound to pay.
Evans further said that he notified the
Governor of every transaction as he went
along, but he did not give the committee any
further satisfaction as to particulars. The
whole business exhibits most reprehensible
difference to the public interests, and if the
declarations Of Evans that he gave most of
the money are to be believed he is certainly
curiosity among oflice-holders.
Gov. Geary was examined ON Fridsy, and
sestifed that he had never received any of
the money. He maintained, however that
Evans was entitled to retain the whole SUM.
