THE STORM IN GENERAL.

started yesterday morning in Nebraska, and,
taking a northeastcr1y course, swept over
minnesota and the western portion Of Wis

4 place Of 1000 inhabitants, was almost COM

were rendered homeless. At Stanton, Ncb.,
twelve buildings were blown down and
twenty people injured, The cyclone swept
through the southern part Of Minnesota,
doing great damage at Owatonna and else-
where, but happily causing no loss Of life.
4 black cloud, the size of an eighty
acre farm, appeared on the sky, thick
ened, contracted, and swooped down

GREAT ACTIVITY AMONG DEALERS.

GREAT ACTIVITY AMONG DEALERS.
Spe..ai Dtspotsh to Tia Chicago Tribune.
NEW York. Oct. 1.-There is great activity
at present in the offices Of all dealers in real
estate, whose business now is largely ncgo-
tiation and the answering Of inquiries, rather
thai the actual exchange of property. There
is disposition to push auction sales on the
part of experienced agents, who consider
this an excellent time for selling. Such sales
Of ordinary property in the last ten days
have been very satisfactory. The number Of
bidders present has been large, and the
amount of capital represented very unusual,
while the prices obtained have been SO high
rs to surprise the sellers and auctioneers, 1t is
remarked that payments are made largely in
cash. This demand for ordinary real estate
is attributed III part to the fact that the low
securities makes the outlets for
DESIRABLE PERMANENT INVESTMENTS
very limited. Another reason is the fact that
the general advance i'll the values Of all
kinds OF property since the revival Of bust
then on ANYTHING else, executing. Of course,
v very y 'fancy'' property, Which can
scarcely be reckoned in the market.
Building OF all kinds still continues
very active in various parts OF the city. The
demand for houses to rent is yet unlimited.
and the supply very inadequate. For first
class furnished houses, to be rented till next
May, owners cali command almost any terms
they name, anti bnI very few Of such dwell
ings can be obtained.

THEODORE THOMAS.
HIS SUCCESSFUL SUMNER SEASON IN CHI

Spec,di Dtspateh to The CHICAGO Tribune.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1-Mr. Theodore Thomas,
now here, speaking of his Western concerts,
says that everywhere he met with the sup
port which made the series Of concerts q
financial success far beyond what could be
expected here. Mr.. Thomas attributes the
difference between New York and Chicago
in this respect to the fact the fashion Of 60
ing to the country during July and August
has grown to be almost universal among the
educated well-to-do classes Of this city. In
Chicago the people who would Eo.to the
symphony concerts, if there were such con-
certs to go to, remain in town and are
STEADY PATRONS OF GOOD MUSIC.
SAYS Mr.. Thomas: 1.-THE people Of the
West want, it seems, a better class Of music
than our summer audiences require. lcou1d
not give them symphonies enough, and never
thought Of putting more than one waltz on
the evenings program. Some of my friends

TIE STAR ROUTES.

WASHINGTON, y. c., Oct. 1.-The parties
accused i'll the star-route conspiracy con-
tinue to be confident and defiant. Brady
says the information presented to the court
yesterday is the same document as that read
to Garfield in March last, anu that it was
pronounced by him rs entirely too frivolous
to proceed upon. lie says, also, that Gar
field positively forbade proceeding by in
formation, as it would appear that the Gov
ernlnent was afraid that its case was not
strong enough to go to grand jury. Col.
Cook denies Brady's story, and asserts that
ill information twas never thought OF till
after the adjournment OF the grand jury OH
Sept. Il. This was total surprise to the
Attorney General, and none Of the Govern
nent counsel hesitate to i1npute desire to
shield the star-rou ute ring to
COL. coKklIl1L, THE D1sTIs1cT-ATroKSf.Y.
They say it was early found necessary to
conceal details of the Government case from
him. So far from being afraid of the grand
jury, the prosecution is really with slX bllls
OF indictments which will be presented at
latest by Oct. 10. Among these is bill
specially framed to cover tile Dorsey pro-
ceedinss. Attorney-General Mac teagh says
that, although there were Wel-grounued
suspicious i'll regard to Corkhilps fitness for
his place previous to the shooting Of Gar
field. had that event been deferred but one
week new District-Attorney would have
been appointed. IS soon as Gulteaus trial
is concluded Il change will be made. Cork
hill is one of Hayes appointees, and owes
his place to the solicitation of Justice Miller.
Of the United States Supreme Court, whose
daughter he married.
