would come dizziness and vomiting, and then
 severe and prolonged purging. Hardly a
 family escaped and in some cases whole fami- lies were sick. Three of the doctors were rushing from place to place vain- ly trying to answer their hundreds of cases, while the other doctor was helpless with the prevailing disease. The sickness in most cases lasted three or four hours, gripping pains, vomiting and purging continuing throughout, Several persons lost their heads with pain, and did not become rational until this morning. Women and children were chiefly attacked, but strong men were also prostrated Those who were sick last evening are nearly all around this afternoon, few being confined to their beds, but those who have recovered are weak and nervous About third of the entire. popu- lation were affected, and those who escaped have been thoroughly purged. To-day many factory operatives are unable to work, and there have been several new casss this after noon. The doctors did not complete their calls until late tonight, and are thoroughly tired out. News comes tonight that the people in Savoy and other mill towns are similarly affected, though there was not case in North Adams or other towns in the vi einity. No deaths have occurred, and the danger is considered past, but there are still 8 number of very sick people vailed that reservoir water had been poisoned, but it has proved scores of people who did not use that water were sick with the rest. The responsibility comes back on the atmosphere. Nothing like it ever occurred here before, and Adams, nest ling at the foot of Grey Lock, has always been considered very healthy place.

THE WESTERN STORM.

Sundays Disastrous storm = LeveIling
 Everything in its Track-dany Per
 sons Fatally Injured.
 CINCINNATI, June 16.-Further particulars show the storm of Sunday and Monday to have been the most disastrous which has vis- tied this section for many years. All through southern Indiana, central and southern Ohio and northern Kentucky the damage to fences, bridges, houses and crops is immense. In many parts of Indiana, as far north as La fayette, wheat ready for harvesting is com pletely destroyed. In Clinton county, Ind, five barns and as many residences near Frank fort were destroyed. In many places whole orchards are destroyrd. Near Cicero, Ham ilton county, Ind, for ten miles the storm cleared path half mile wide. Twenty dwelling houses and barns were destroyed Twenty-two persons are thought to have been fatally injured. In Shelby county the effects of the storm almost as great and many persons were injured by the blowing down of dwellings.
 RUsHvnLE, Ind, June 16.-The damage to the people of this county by the recent storm is incalculable. The new house in this place of Rufus Harshman was blown down, and his wife and infant child caught in the ruins. Mrs. Harshman could reach the child, and managed by placing boards over it to protect it from harm until her husband, who was absent, arrived and released them from their perilous position.

The Berlin Treaty-Englan6i's Warming
 the Porte.
 LONDON, June 16.-The foreign office has issued very yimportant correspondence respect ing affairs in Turkey, including MT. Goschen's instructions. The last dispatches from Mir. Layard say he had exhausted all diplomatic resources in endeavoring to bring the Sultan to sense of his danger through delaying the reforms guaranteed in the treaty of Berlin. The Sultan is well disposed, but he is con- trolled by evil influences. Earl Granville, in his instructions to Goschen, says the mainte- nance of the Turkish Empire is only possi- ble by thorough and searching reforms in the administration at Constantinople and in the provinces. The British Government is pre- prepared to go beyond menace but the present careful abstinence from a menace must not be supposed to imply any want of earnestness or determination respecting the policy England intends to pursue. Earl Granville considers that delay in arranging the Greek frontier is equivalent to the Portes refusal

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Results of the session-Legislatfon Com
 spicuous For Its Absence-A Session of Oratory.
 WASHINGTON, June 16.-The number of
 bills introduced in the House during the ses-
 sion just closed was 6, 493, and joint resolu-
 tions 333 In the Senate there were intro
 duced nearly 2,O00 bills and joint resolutions.
 The number of bills passed and become laws is 33O. A great many were for private claims.
 No financial nor tariff legislation has been got through, nor was there any general railroad legislation nor general bills relating to boun- ties and pensions, except the bill for the re- lief of permanently disabled soldiers of the
 late war. Deduct the general appropriation bills, and no general legislation of much con
 sequence has been passed. Early in the ses- sion the Banking and Currency Committee determined to let matters stand they were. The Committee of Ways and Means also de- cided upon non-action after considering different tariff measures for some time. It is true two or three bills were reported, but so late in the session that action was impossible F. Wood made desperate effort once to have his funding bill considered, but the House was not disposed in that direction, and after 8 day or two of debate the subject was dropped. The House devoted two months to the con- SlderatlOn Of new rules, winch have proved an obstruction instead of aid to legislation The Senate accomplished much more than the lower branch, and their calendar is con- paratively clear of important bills. The Mexican pension bill is the most important now on it. The Senate wasted good deal of time over the Kellogg and Fitz John Porter cases without accomplish ing anything. The House calendar at the close of the session is a voluminous doc ument of ninety pages. There are on it three
 hundred bills in the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union one hundred bills which do not involve appropriations on the House calendar proper; nearly twelve hun dred bills on the private calendar, eighteen House bills with Senate amendments and ninety bills from the Senate on their first and second reading. These bills will all be in or der next session. but as the time is limited to three months the prospect of many of them passing is not very great.

 Attention has been called to Senator Thur mans intentions by the announcement that he has called meeting of the Ohio delegates to the Democratic convention, and prominent Ohio Democrats at Columbus met Friday to consult with him. All sorts of rumors are af1oat as to the meaning of this conference. The most prevalent rumor is that Thurman contemplates withdrawing his name as a can didate, but this rumor like others can be traced to no reliable source.

HoUsE-The closing scenes in the House to-day were very turbulent. MT. McLane, of Maryland, who for two or three days held the iobbers at bay with his sugar bill, gave way this morning to resolution by Mir. Hurd, of Ohio, to pass bill appropriating $75, ,OOO for public building at Toledo. The bill was then taken up and passed.
 ! Several resolutions relative to the pay of persons employed by the House were adopt ed and then the demand for recognition ln- creased into 8 clamor, and members who heretofore had taken no part in the proceed ings joined the noisy assemblage in front of the Speakers desk and added to the confu- sion The Speaker helplessly pounded away with his gavel and assured the gentle men that if they would keep quiet they would all be accommodated. Flnallya motion was made to go to the Speakers table, and roll call was begun. Then and not till then was there cessation of the uproar. The session of Tuesday ended at Il o'clock and the ses- sion of Wednesday began. As the journal was not completed it's reading was necessarily dispensed with.
 MT. Carlisle, of Kentucky, chairman of the committee to inquire into the charges of al legged bribery in the contested election case of Donnelly against Washburne, submitted the report of that committee and asked that it. together with the minority report, be printed and recommitted. So ordered. The report finds MT. Finlay to be the author of the anonymous letter which figured in the case The report, (Which is signed by five Democratic
 members of the Committee on Elections, de- claresthat William D. Washburne is not en-
 titled to the seat, and that Ignatius Donnelly is Mir. Keller, of Ohio, submitted another re-
 port from the Committee on Elections declar- ing that William D. Washburne is and Igna-
 tius Donnelly is not entitled to the seat
 Both reports were ordered printed and re- committed.
 Then came the final chance for recognition,
 and every member was on his feet gesticulat-
 ing and wildly waving his bill. In the midst
 of this the hour of 12 arrived, and the Speak
 CT declared the House adjourned without day
 The President and members of the Cabinet
 were at the Capitol in the Presidents room
 as early as o'clock this morning prepared to
 examine and to sign the bills that might be
