DAMAGED BY STORM.

PETERSBURG, Va, Aug. 15.-This city
and the immediate vicinity was visited this
afternoon by the severest and most de-
structive wind and thunder storm ever ex-
perienced here for years. The rain fell in
torrents, while in some places the wind is
estimated to have blown so miles per hour.
During the prevalence of the storm the
freight depot of the Norfolk and Western
railroad, together with large building
used as the workshops of the Petersburg
and Weldon Railroad company, at Mount
Airy, and Cameron Brothers large to-
bacco factory were partially unroofed and
badly damaged. The grand stand at the
fair grounds was completely torn up and
scattered in every direction. Two houses
at the city almshouse farm were also de-
molished. Several houses were struck by
lightning and in some instances the oc
cupants were severely burned by the fluid.
Trees, fences and chimneys in different
parts of the city were blown down and the
damage done by the storm everywhere was
terrible. 1t is feared great destruction was
done to the crops and orchards in adj
joining counties Previous to the storm
the thermometer registered 106 in the shade;
it is now pleasant.

construction, but they have been correct
in my belief
Why do you think the public too i'm
patient7n
Wen, because the people seem to think
that as the president is not well by this
time, his true condition has been conceal
ed. Now, can tell you, he has been and
IS still q very sick man. Three days after
the shooting, had long conversation
with Surgeon Woodward. He then said il
the president lived few days longer he
could get well, but that recovery would be
long and painful
tsrhen you don't hesitate to say that he
will get well?"
I'm my opinion he will f I did not
think SO would not be away from Wash
ington.p
DR.. Woodward is to blame for the Presi-
dents fever Saturday morning, he having
nnskillfully cleansed the wound Friday
night Bliss has always done this until
his poisoned hand prevented.
Despite the figures of the bulletins the
physicians are sanguine and say the Presi-
dent is improving. The ball is encysted and
the wound is healing from the bottom.
This is evident from there being no pain
where the ball is supposed to be. The in
cision caused a fearful though necessary
wound, and its irritation brings the high
pulse. Such cut on strong person
would be serious infiiction, but the weak
ness of the President and his long fast
makes it more serious to him. The pulse,
which usually rises eight to ten degrees
during the day, is the same as at the morn
ing bulletin. The mercury has been 101
and yet the fever has subsided since the
evening dressing.

A SOCIAL SCANDAL.

New YoRK, Aug. 15.-In the case of Jen-
ME Cramer, the young girl found dead
living in the water at New Haven. is sup
pesed to have been murdered by persons
to conceal criminal intimacy. Her acquain-
.tance Blanche Douglas, a fast woman OF
this city, to-day tells new story. At first
Douglas denied that the two male acquain-
tances of hers, Walter Mafley and his
brother James, sons of a most respectable
family of New Haven knew her or Jennie.
Now she says she then told lie to shield
Walter from the social scandal it would
create in New Haven. If people there knew
he kept company with her. She says Wal
ter was lover, and SO infatuated that he
not only often came to New York to spend
Saturday night and Sunday with her but
induced her to go to New Haven Wednes-
dav of last week. during the absence of his
folks, and spend the night at the Malley
residence. She stayed with Walter in one
room. and Jennie staid with James. Thurs
day morning all breakfasted at q restau-.
rant. The party broke up about noon,
and Jennie went away on q Savin Rock car.
She was found in the water at Savin Rock

GREAT EXCITEMENT.

CHICAGO. Aug. 15.-There was wild ex-
citement on change at the opening this
morning which has continued unabated up
to this hour, noon. 1t is believed that the
reports of rain in the western states would
have sent the markets down, but they had
no effect and prices started with an ad
vance which has progressed almost with
out break, And the other grains have
shared in the rise. September and Octo-
Der wheat opened at 1.204: October corn
at 500; September oats at 355; September
pork at 175, and September lard at 1874.
At this time the prices are jumping rapidly
up and wheat is selling at 1901 for cash,
and August for .2os; for October, corn is
the most active and excited, having sold
up to 6o3; for August, e2I; for August.
824; for October, 62B; November oats sold
at 36; September pork at 1875; Septem
Der lard at 11.724. Except wheat in the
articles named, there is a fractional reac-
ton at this moment, but the tendency is
very strong

ROCK ISLAND ILLINOIS,. MONDAY AUGUST Is, 1881

Friday night. She did not see her after
she got on the car. Douglas and James
and Walter supped at the same restaurant
that evening. The restaurant keeper
believes Jennie was also with them, but is
not so positive about that as her presence
in the morning. Douglas spent the night
also with Walter in the Malley house. In
her original statement before the ceroner's
jury. she said she spent the night at the
Elliott house. but said so to shield Walter.
Miss Douglas says Jennie had no idea she
was fast. Douglass says she believes Jen-
ME committed suicide because her mother
treated her awfully for being out Wednes
day night and ordered her to leave home.
ennie then came to Douglass and begged
to be allowed to go to New York with her;
but Douglass refused, because she did not
wish to be blamed for taking her from
home, and did not wish Jennie to discover
that she was fast.
New HAVEN, Aug. 15.-James and
Walter Muller have been arrested for the
murder of Jennie E. Cramer.

LONDON, Aug. IL. The Land Bill hav-

mons, is tonight before the Lords again
and the latest information is that they are
generally rejecting the amendment inserted
in the other House. The Lords are said to
be in conciliatory mood, except as to a
few points on which they firmly stand.
PARIS, Aug. 12.-Edison's representa-
tives here have obtained from the courts
an Injunction restraining Hiram s. Maxim,
of the United States Electric Lighting Co.
from exhibiting his light in France, on the
ground that the light used by Maxim is
substantially the same as Edison's, and
covered by his patents.

THE CROPS.

NEWTON, H.. Aug. 12.-The extreme
drouth in this vicinity still continues, with
no signs of an immediate change. No rain
has fallen for seven weeks, and the corn
and pastures are entirely drie up and
ruined. The wheat was not more
than half crop, owing to the chinch
bugs and drouth, and now the corn is
almost total failure, which leaves
the farmers in very bad condition. Ma
ny of them are selling off their hogs and
other stock, not having the corn to feed
them, and net being able to buy. Unless
rain falls soon, very little wheat will be
sown this fall, as it viii be impossible to
prepare the ground.
MARSHALL, Mo, Aug. 12-Where two
weeks since there was every indication of
an abundant corn crop in Saline county,
their are now empty fields. Two genera
tions of chinch- bugs and the drought have
almost ruinedSthe prospects of crop.
The early standing will make half crop,
but the late seeding will be total loss. In
many portions of Saline, Pettis, Lafayette,
and Copper counties farmers are cutting
what is left and feeding it. If rain does
not fall very soon the entire crop will be
lost
