TIE BETHEL HOME AND THE ELECTION.
To The Etifar af Ide Ts.ihunk


To the Editor cr The Tribune.
CHICAGO, May 1o.-In your report Of the late
municipal election, in connection with the cleo
tioneering services Of one Carroll, you alluded
to him as though be was connected with the
work Of the Bethel. At the time VIC supposed
the character Of our establishment was so veil
understood that u refutation was unnecessary.
But in the report Of the proceedings of the
Grand Jury In your paper Of Wednesday I find
the statement reiterated, and he is spoken Of as
CONNECTED With the Bethel Home as prayer,
preacher, and singer,''
Now Carroll has not, and never has had, any
connection with OUR institution IN any capacity.
He came to our house with an order for board
and lodging from the Relief and Aid Society;
Subsequently was inlorscd in the same way By
the Young Mems Christian Association, ana
after these orders ran out pnil his board like
any Of the pay-boarders in our house. He never
attended our meetings, except as n
member OF our congregation, never
took part, except occasionally ut the close Of
our meetings, when, as is our custom, we invite
free speaking by any one present.
So far as know no one connected with our
work in any capacity took any interest in the
election, except in the exercise OF their rights
as individual citizens, over which, Of course, We
have no control. As the statement is being
used to our injury, you will greatly obl}ge BY
inserting this correction. 3. FAASKLASD,

TERRIFIC TORNADO.
SEVERAL PERSONS KILLED.
Great Damage in Missouri.

CHICAGO, March 11.-Specials report that
most terrific wind, rain and thunder storm Wis.,
tied the northwest late yesterday afternoon
and evening. IT appears. to have extended
from Quincy, Illinois, to the northern portion
of Iowa, and to have been specially severe pear
the Mississippi River. At some places it
amounted to tornado and considerable dam
age was inflicted.
The town of Hazelgreen, in the southeast
corner of Grant County Wisconsin, near the
Illinois line, which has about a thousand in
habitants, mostly lead miners, was struck by
the tornado about o'clock. Messengers were
despatched to Gaena and Dubuque for doctors
to care for the injured. These messengers told
a story of most extraordinary destruction of
life and property One of them affirmed that
foltyone people had been killed orinjursd, and
that the town was almost totally destroyed.
There is no telegraphic CON munication with
the region. The latest accounts give the list of
killed and wounded as follows:
Joshua Richards, Mrs. John Rodney, Mrs.
Thomas Richards, the wife, mother and daugh-
ter of Thomas Edwards, son of Joseph jack
son, Edward Thompson and his father, nine
persons in all. There was rumor that eigh-
teen were killed, but it cannot be authenticat-
ed. A great many are badly injured, some
probably fatally. Broken legs, arms and other
casualties are reported in numberless cases.
The village was built of wood, and the tornado
swept clear track from the southeast to the
northeast through the towD, destroying twenty
QUINCY, ILL.,, March 1.-The Wing has the
following report of the effects of the storm in
Missouri last night:
The hurricane came from the southwest,
struck Elizabethtown, on the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas Railroad, about 4 O'clock Some
seventeen houses were Frustrated. Five persons
were killed. At Hasson, on the same road,
three dwellings and the railroad depot were
blown down and three persons were killed.
Withe1's Mills, near Hannibal Mo, were blown
down, but no one was injured. The damage to
timber and fences was very great, and it is
thought further reports will show much greater
loss of life in the neighborhood not heard FROM
ST. LOUIS, March II Accounts of the tor
nado which passed over part on northwestern
Missouri on Friday say the little town of
Shrinkey in Monroe county was entirely de-
molished, Two persons were killed and 20
wounded, some seriously. At Kensaler station
an the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad, two
children were carried away by the tornado.
They have not yet been found.
DUBUQUE, March 1.-THE damage to prop
erty in the Hazel Green disaster was $40 600 or
$4,000. The tornado levsled everything in the
town from southwest to northwest for space
of about eight rods in width. Houses were
taken up and borne in some cases one hundred
feet from their foundation.

The Texas Post Traders hips and Who
Sold Them.

ST. LOUIS, March ia special dispatch
from San Antonio, Texas, states that the men
who sold most of the post.traderships in Texas,
are Gen. John NJ. Hedrick of Ottumwa,
Iowa, at present collector of internal revenue in
that state, through his agent, A. Leig hton,
who was sent out to Texas in the spring of
1871. A claim agent of Washington city is
also mentioned in this connection.
The following is copy of the communica-
ton sent by Jas. Trainer, formerly post-trader
at Fort Concho to Congressman Hancock:
II came to the state of Texas in the spring
of 1866 as sutler of the 4tn United States Cav
airy, in which capacity served with great sat-
isfaction to every officer of the regiment, until
which 1 was advised that Fort Concho, where
l was doug business at that time, had been
given to Gen. Hedriek of Iowa, present COM
missioner of internal revenue OF Iowa and Wis.
consin. Immediately proceeded to Washing
ton, where was advised could see Gen. He
drick and probably arrange to keep my posi-
ton. Upon an interview with him he propos-
ed should continue sutler of the post by pay
ing him $4,000 per year. 1 did not think the
business would guarantee so large sum and
declined to treat with him. Soon after my re-
turn to Texas I was visited by Leighton, an
agent representing Gen. Hedrick, who propos-
ed to allow me to remain by paying him $500
down and the remainder of the $4,000 per an
mum in quarterly payments l having pur-
chased land and expended some $4,000 in
buildings store houses, besides having a stock
of goods on hand which L would have been
forced to sacrifice had been compelled to va
cate my position, submitted to the proposition
under protest.
In a short time after this W. f. Clark, then
member OF Congress, commenced drawing on
me, which drafts 1 at first paid, but on allow
ing one to be returned to Washington unpaid I
found myself suddenly relieved by one Josh
Loeb, who L am informed paid claim agent
by the name of Wolff $4,000 Upon his arrival

stock at similar sacrifice. Thus I was COM
PEELED to compromise with my creditors as best
L could and left myself without a cent.

Obituary..

William s. Robinson, better known by his
non de plume of Warrington" died at his res.
idence in Maiden, Saturday morning, at the age
of IS years. Mr.. Robinson was born in Con-
cord, Mass, Dec. z, 1918. He began life as a
compositor on the Norfolk County Advertiser,
where he became acquainted with all depart
ments of newspaper work. He subsequently
became connected as editor with the Boston
Daily Wing, the organ of the Conscience
Wings, the Lowell American and the Daily
Commonwealth. In 1857 he commenced writ
ing weekly letters for the Springfield Republi-
can over the signature of Warrington" which
non de plume he took from the character of
that name in Thackeray's novel of Pendennis.
While the Commonwealth was under the
charge OF Messrs. Stearns & Bird he was fire.
quent contributor, and for few months he
was the Boston correspondent of the New York
Tribune. OF late years his communications
have appeared in the Springfield Republican,
Boston Journal and the Daily News Mr.. Rob-
inson was one of the founders Of the Free Soil
party. and subsequently an active leader of
the Republican party. He was a member of
the Massachusetts General Court for several
years and was clerk of the House from 1862 to
1872 inclusive. As a writer, Mr.. Robinson
leaves no work at all indicative of the scope of
his mind. His Legislative Manual will become
standard work. His pamphlet on the SAL
AIRY Grab" was very clever presentation of
that episode in American political history. He
was the author of many pamphlets; one in
particular,-'A Conspiracy to Defame John A.
Andrew"-will be remembered. When the
Carpet Bag was in charge of Mr.. B. P. Shilla-
Der, Mr.. Robinson wrote the letters purporting
to come from Ensign Stebbns, which sparkled
with telling hits at some of the political follies
of the day.

Dominion Notes.

Quite general interest in the temperance
reform is reported by st. John papers,
The total debt of New Brunswick is $797, 500
and is increasing. Railroad subsidies account
for it.
Notwithstanding the dizziness of the times,
quite number of vessels are under course of
construction it the Dominion this winter, aford-
ing work to large number of men.
In Moncton, N. B., a fellow named Cowle
called a school teacher named Adams to the
door and pounded and knocked him SO savagely
that his life is despaired of. Cowle was arrest
ed and released on a bail of 800.
The resolution committing the Dominion
House of Commons to protective policy was
defeated Wednesday by vote of 119 to Ga
The members of the maritime provinces voted
against protection, while the Ontario manufac-
lures are for it.
The st. Croix Courier states that the work on
the Grand Southern Railway is to be COM
menced within sixty days, and to be completed
within two years after the signing of the con-
tract The road extends from Calais to st,
John, etc., along the shore, and is intended to
be narrow gauge affair.
Mr.. Bridges, manager of the government
railway. thinks it will pay the government
70 ads to ship -four from Montreal to ST. John
for fifty cents barrel. The Halifax Herald
thinks 80 cents barrel a good price for SO
miles if it.pays to ship it 600 miles for fifty
cents.
Mr.. White of the Montreal Gazette has un-
dertaken to reply to the letter of Sir a. T. Gait
charging that the Catholic clergy manage the
government in that province and are striving to
get control of the Dominion. In the course of
his reply he admits that the control of the Gath.
Ollie clergy over the public schools of Quebec is
well nigh absolute.
The Halifax Herald gives the following par
ticulars respecting the attempt to mob Rev.
MI. Chiniquy at Fort Massey church in that
city: while the congregation were engaged
IN religious service a crowd of oughs gathered
around the building, hooting and yelling like
wild Indians They could not hear what was
said inside; they could not have been insulted
by any utterances of the preacher; his presence
alone was odtous to them, and they determined
to let their feelings be known. They had re-
course to stones and brck-bats-the usual ar
gument of the BLACKBOARD and coward-which
were freely thrown through the windows of
the church, and when the services were over
they followed in large numbers to his hotel Mr.,
Chiniquy, who was accompanied by a few of
his friends, and hurled at him in equal profu-
sion their appropriate missiles and their choic-
est epithets. He reached his hotel in safety
some of his friends were not so fortunate-but
the crowd remained until after midnight in
front of the hotel, watching through the wir-
dows for sight of their VICTIM and ready with
sticks and stones to punish the object of their
vengeance: should they be favored with an OPP
portunity."
