TERRIBLE HAVOC.
Many Thousand Dollars. Worth OF
Property Destroyed by Hail

One Of the most disastrous hail
storms ever known came near Stevens
Point, Wis. last week. Hail from 6 to TO-
inches in circumference. and from
four to eight inches deep Oh the
ground fell, killing turkeys, geese and
thousands of prairie chickens. lambs,
sheep. etc, cleaning the shing les entire
ly off the roofs of several buildings; and
pelting through the boards on the roof
Over 100 farms were cleaned entirely
of all grain, corn, hay: etc, and all the
leaves from the forest trees were cut of:
leaving them as bare as they are i'll
winter. Whole hop yards were entire
" stripped, leaving the bare poles.
Henry Cate, of Stockton. states that it
knocked the boards off from a new
fence that he had built, aud splintered
large pieces from the bottom of many
of the boards. Mr.. Leary was out in
the field when the hail commenced fall
ing, and he started his team for the
barn. The horses became unmanageable
and ran away, and in passing through
81 fence one of them struck a rail
which passed entirely through his body,
killing him instantly, while Leary bare
ly escaped with his life into the barn.
On many new roofs, where they
projected over. the boards were broken
off as squarely as it could have been
done with anax.
Mr.. Cate had the curiosity to weigh
three of the hail-stones and found they
weighed just one pound.
It took strip of about four miles
and eight to ten long, sweeping every
green thing before it. The grain was
mashed into the ground and not a
bushel can be saved where the storm
passed over.
this fearful blow has left the farmers
without one cents worth of crops. 1t
is estimated that the loss will not fall
short of $4,000. With the flood and
hail this country has suffered fearfully.
The chief sufferers are Henry Cate,
Timothy Leary, D. r. Clements, Thorn
as Clements, Moses Leary, Owen Tehle,
Mrs. DAILY, Louis Gibbs and John Con
niff. It is impossible to estimate the
damage. One can hardly believe, with
out seeing, the havoc wrought by this
hail-storm. Even rails are cut up, and
sides of barns look as if marked by the
smallpox.

The History Of the Tomato.

1t is a popular fallacy that the lus-
cious and health-preserving tomato has
its origin as an article of food in this
country. But while there is some
reason to believe it was first found in
South America it was evidently cult
waited centuries ago in Mexico and
Peru. Dodoeus, the Netherland her
balist, mentions the tomato as early as
1888 as Il vegetable to be eaten with
pepper, salt and oil. 1t belongs to the
nightshadc family and was used in
cooking by the MalayS more than 81
century and half since. 1t is extern
sivcly raised in Southern Italy, and
employed there as an accompaniment
to nearly every dish, particularly to
macaroni. But neither there nor any
where else in Europe, is it commonly
eaten, as it is here, separately and in
quantities. In England it is sparingly
produced, reQuiringa hot bed in the
spring, and is in consequence high
priced. The Italians formerly called
it golden apple and now call it a love
apple, as it was once designated in this
country. The appearance Of the To-
mato on the table has great increased
in Europe.

his lamp will not burn. These are
facts that neither the Inspector or the
Mines Commission can dispute, yet
we find the one recommending the
repeal of the law and the other by
his report leading the Governor and
the Legislature to believe that the
miner has this strong current of air
where he is working, Such conduct
is an insult to the intelligence of
every miner in the county, and it is
no wonder the Governor refused to
lay the Inspectors report before the
Legislature.
To make this current of air of any
practical benefit to the miner it must
be forced into where the miners work
by artificial means such as trap-doors
and stopping up all openings where
it can escape before it reaches the
miner. Such is the intent and spirit
of the law. II is for the Vant of a
practical man as Inspector, Dho knoaOs
hoao and dareS to enforce The laaO, that
such is not the case. That is the tes-
timony of the miners of Allegany.
There is nothing unfair in the law
against the coal operators that would
call for its repeal, and the Legisla,
ture ought to take into consideration
that the miner who is compelled to
enter the bowels of the earth is Justly
entitled to the protection which the
provisions Of the law afford him.
The miners think also that the re-
port of the Mines Commission ought
to be printed, that they may be able
to see the reasons why the Commits
sion recommended the repeal of the
law. To put it into the hands of a
committee, there to lay until late in
the session, and then report favorable
for the repeal of the law, appears to
be too much of put up job. No
Star Chamber work under our free
institutions is safe. Let Senator
Combs bring it to light; it is public
property and we have a right to see
what it contains. We have strong
faith in Governor Hamilton appoint
ing practical man as Inspector to
carry out the provisions of the law
fairly in its intent and spirit-one
that from his practical knowledge of
mining would be able to give some
suggestions in regard to slight i'm
provement to be made which would
result to the benefit of both the en-
ployer and employed. MINER.
