mashed with large stones, the body badly
mutilated and one hand and one foot
gone. The command buried the remain

The Nebraska CYCLONE.
Stanton. Neb., Sept. 29.-The most de-
struetive cyclone that ever visited this
state was that which struck Stanton on
the night of Wednesday, September %.
The visitation was one so terrible that
the results can scarcely be described and
can only be appreciated by those who
felt its terrible power and were eye-wit-
nesfes to the strength OF the clements,
which seem to have conspired against
this little city, which is the county
seat of one of the most
prosperous counties in the
state. Not less than fifteen stores, Offices
and dwellings were destroyed and the
families rendered destitute, besides the
ruin of much property, which cannot at
this writing be included in the list OF
losses. At 80 the storm commenced
with such violence that the majority oi
the inhabitants we're awakened, and
half-dressed, awaited the result, which
more than realized in its extent al
anticipations. Soon after this there
was temporary lull in the storm. The
atmospA ere was stilled and grew notice

The st. Paul Pioneer Press says the
report is renewed that the line of the
Chicago and Northwestern down the
Jim river valley is to strike ac'oss the
country to Sioux City to the company's
main line. From Huron south has
already been looked over, but no survey
has yet been made. This company is
now waiting until the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul company locates its line
on one side OF the James river and the
Chicago and Northwestern contemplates
taking the other side. In regard to the
building west of Pierre. it is understood
that there is an agreement between the
Chicago and Northwestern and the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul compan-
les that neither should build west of the
Missouri this season, the agreement end
ing however, with 'his year. The route
selected by the Chicago and Northwest
ern for the Black Hills was along line
south of the Cheyenne river, and cross
ing that river about six miles below the
mouth of the Belle Fourche; then up the
valley Of that stream and on to the cattle
ground in southern Montana. A branch
will be built from this main line, south
to the Black Hills mining camps.

A Conspiracy to Kill Gui.eau.

Washington, Sept. 3O.-It is shown

among the soldiers which

The plan was that on some morning or

from guard duty, Tor the whole party to
march as near the Jail as possible and
then go through some kind Of drill SO
as to attract Guiteau's attention. They
were to 90 through the form of loading

then at signal the whole party were to
let 60 at Guiteau, and the whole crowd

and none OF them would ever know which

MEssRs. EDITORS 1T may be gratify-
ing to your many readers to learn Of the
grand success of the LIST annual excursion
Of the Christiana Presbyterian Church to
Cape May on tho 9th inst, which had
previously aroused so much enth usiasm
In all this surrounding community, and
created such q universal desire to share
iu enjoyment.
The programme was strictly carried
out, and no pains were spared to make
1t successful and enjoyable to all. Not
withdrawing the threatening aspect OF
the weather In the early morning and
the day previous, multitudes came flock
ing into New Castle from all parts of the
surrounding country, from 10 to 10 miles
at very early hour; each one eager to
obtain passage ON the grand steamer
Repu bic, and to embrace one more
snch favorable an opportunity at the
close Of the season to take Q dip in the
Ocean. In addition to this, special
train for the occasion brought over 800
persons from the City of Wilmington to
Join their country friends, owing to
the facilities afforded them by the COM
mittee In chafge..of the enterprise; and
when the boat reached Delaware City
over 200 more were anxiously yet pa
tiently waiting to get on board, which
nwelled the number to nearly 1900. From
this point the steamer moved on her
joyful mission without any Interruption
until she reached Cape May Point about
11.30 A. III. :, giving all ample opportun-
ity to sec the great summer resort, and
battle for several hours with the break
ers, which many embraced with great
satisfaction. Long before the boat
reached the landing, the clouds began 10
dispense and the sun came forth from his
hiding place in all his glory, insuriDg
sunshine without and hope within. At
8 O'Clock the vessel started for home
The moon shone brightly, and nothing
occurred to mar the pleasure OF the ex-
cursionists on their homeward bound
trip, except q few who got into dispute
with the rolling waves of the sea at the
southern extremity of the Bay; but after
they had cast up their accounts and paid
the debt which nature claimed, they felt
greatly relieved, and almost forgot their
past troubles. The boat reached New
Castle about 8 o'clock, leaving the uni
versal impression that this was one of
The grandest and most enjoyable exeur-
sions of the season. A more solid, lR-
telligent, and order-loviDg people were

quent; but, as single one Of them
wastes money enough to insure farmers
against such losses for Q century, the
sufferers should have learned by exper-
fence the advantages of lrrigation. There
are wise farmers, in California and other
States not often blessed with rain, who
place under every fruit-bearipg tree a
section or two OF gas pipe or well drilled
bamboo, with perforation along Its en-
tire length. One end OF this tube is ex.
posed at the surface, and the small end
OF tin tunnel can be placed In 1t. By
these means every tree can be supplied
during dry season with water at q cost
that represents for less money than an
average crop Of fruit would do. As a
consequence they get considerable fruit
and make some money while their less
careful nelghbors have only profanity to
show for a dry season. To drill q two
inch bole twenty feet long under fruit
tree and insert wooden or iron tube by
which water can be supplied does not
cost much; let Northern fruit farmers do
1t and be prepared in time against an
other drought.

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
DOVER, Sept. s, 1Ssl.-This morniog
about 3 o'clock, the alarm of fire was
sounded through our streets, calling our
citizens from their slumber. This time
the fire was discovered In frame
building on North street, owned by Mr..
F. o. Culbreth. The building was oc-
cupied by Mr.. James Goodwin, aud a
Mr.. Formerly. Mr.. g. used the eastern
part as carpenter shop, and IN the
western part was stored about S7O0
worth Of hardware Implements, which
belonged to MIR. Pomerly. The fire was
discovered under the steps where a large
hole had been cut, and C IN 3ustiDle matter
collected together and set on fire. II Is
evident the building was fired by un-
known parties. The section in which
the fire was discovered, had not been
used for several days. By the energetic
work OF our citizens the fire. was MASTER
ed before much damage was done. The
building Is In a somewhat thickly set
tied part of town, and had tho fire got
beyond control, these might have been a
great loss OF property Mr.. Formerly is q

State, and when he left he exchanged 1t
TOR the implements, and had them stored
In this building until he could get
better place or dispose OF them. Why
any one should set the property on fire
remains mystery. We hope however,
the guilty party will be found out and
have the full extent Of the law melted
