Wind, Rain and Hail.
Iowa CITY, July 10.-There was
wind and rain storm here at three o'clock
yesterday evening, accompanied by hail,
which devastated the trees, orchards and
crops over a limited area as effectually
as a fire would have done. But four
farms-those of Hurvon, Hedges, Craw-
ford and Singleton-were so visited.
The storm was remarkable for its COM
| pleteness, destructive effect and narrow
ness of range.

Lord " GOrtOn-GOrdOn.
CHICAGO, July l0.-The following
dispatch was received at st. Paul, dated
4 Fort Garry, July 4th: "The excite
/ aFS1 b,,
rest of the detectives, Hay and Reagan,
who attempted to kidnap the notorious
Gordon of Erie railway fame. Messrs.
Fletcher and Merrill, of Minneapolis,
with Mr.. Bentley, a merchant, were
also arrested the following day as accom-
plices. They were thrust into prison,
and ironed. Mayor Bracket andson,
! Wilson, of Minneapolis, arrived yester
day morning by special stage, travelling
night and day. Mr.. Bracket at once
| sought admission to the prisoners,
which was granted by Judge Betownay,
but he was Immediately ordered out
] by the sheriff, under instructions
1 from Attorney-General Clarke. Yes
! terday the preliminary exam
| ination commenced. The court
room was crowded. The whole day was
| occupied in taking Lord GOrdon's testi-
mony, which was shown to be a tissue
of falsehOod, and eXaggeration. Mr..
! Wilson was not allowed to act for the
defense, and was not permitted to Occu-
| py a seat and confer with the counsel
! for the defense. Great indignation is
| felt against the authorities for the high
handed manner in which they are con
Quoting the case. United States Com |
missionerTayloris working energetically
on behalf Of the prisoners, but the exam |
ination proceeds very slowly, and will |
probably last several days yet. Mayor |
Bracket, while in court yesterday, was
arrested, but released shortly afterward. |
However, his movements are closely |
watched. He feels determined to see |
the affair through. Lord Gordon |
Is freely using his money, his Irlends |
having retained nearly all the lawyers.
Every obstacle seems to be thrown in |
the way to prevent rebutting testimony |
being given. Only one or two witnesses
were examined to-day, nothing new |
being ELECTED by their testimony.
From New York.

company. In future the mayors of

The case in which William j. Healy, |
paymaster in the United States navy, /
was charged some months since, before |
Commissioner Davenport, with having |
embezzled about thirty-eight thousand |
dollars of government money, has been |
withdrawn from before the commis- |
sioner, it having been found impossible |
to obtain any evidence to cOrroborate the |
testimony Of Little, who turned States |
evidence against him. Instead of crimi- |
nsl proceedings the government will
institute civil suit against Healy's Off |
cial bond.
The Mail says Colonel Thomas A. |
Scott sailed from Philadelphia to-day. |
He goes to Europe to place the bonds of
