DEsMoISEs, June 23.-Another terrible
rain and wind storm passed over Iowa yes
terday afternoon. The recently desolated
town Of Malcolm, in Poweshiek county, was
visited for three hours by pitiless storm.
The damage to goods rescued from satur-
days hurricane is enormous, and will pro-
bly, amount to total destruction.
At Pleasantville, Marion county, the resi-
dence Of P. Lyon was badly twisted, and the
props placed against It on the east side
were driven through the wall. Numerous
chimneys and shade and fruit trees in that
vicinity were blown down, and signs and

even more serious.

wind storm passed during yesterday after
noon from along the lines OF the
Illinois Central Railroad west Of here

are all prostrated and 1t is impossible to

wrecked, houses leveled and trees uprooted.

rooted and plate glass smashed. The depot
of the Burlington, Cedar Rlpids and North.

been Injured. S-lls' circus exhibited at

The Army and Many Herald. of Washing
ton, announces that the proceedings and
findings OF the court martial In the case of
Second Lieutenant Flipper, recently dis
missed from the army, will be promulgated
in few days. He was tried upon two
CONGRATULATIONS and conduct unbe-
coming an officer and a gentleman. On
Saturday last the Secretary of War informed
representative of the Herald why the case
had been so prolonged. He said:
"The reason this case has been so long
reaching a final settlement is that it was
thought best not to proceed hastily in the
matter. Each charge and specification has
been carefully examined, aud all the sur
rounding circumstances thoroughly inVesti-
gated. Indeed, Lieut.. Flipper's case has
received greater consideration than If he
had been a white man. The reason for this
was that he was the only one of his race
that had ever passed successfully through
the Military Academy. Until the time he
became involved in his present difficulty he
was respected by all who came in contact
with him. He was allowed every oppor-
tunity to prove that he could be trusted In
the future, but failed to do so; hence there
was nothing left to do but dismiss him. l
will state, however, that the charge of en-
bezzlement was not sustained, but the court
were unanimous that he was guilty of con-
duct unbecoming an officer and q gentle
man. There was no recommendation for
clemency or any appeal in his behalf. All
talk OF political influence being brought to
bear Is mere chaff. l have never spoken on
the subject TO any one except the President
and his Cabinet and the officers of this de-
partment who keep the records"

ERIE ON A BOOM.
singular Phenomenon at Cleveland
The Waters of the Lake Invade
the City.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, June % "A remarka-
6 O'Clock this morning. The wave was
about two miles wide and eleven feet higher
than the surface of the lake. 1t came in
the wake Of dense, angry looking, black
and gray cloud. which moved northward
over the city. There was no rain nor wind
at the lake shore, but rain fell In some parts
of the city, and the wind blew fiercely south
of the town. Vessels parted thedr lines at
the mouth of the river, and the piers and
docks were submerged to a depth of four
feet.
In some places hundreds of fish were cast
ashore. The fires in the Lake Erie Rolling
Mil on the river beach were put out. A
scow loaded with sand, ly ng at the break
water, was landed high and dry on the
shore. A section of the railway near the
Union Depot was ripped up, aud numerous
switch shanties and small buildings were
overturned or moved about. Some iron
rails, twenty eight feet long, piled near the
depot, were lifted up and scattered in
every direction. Huge logs were washe d
ashore at the life saving station. A
steamer was badly wrecked and various
other damage was done. The wave lasted
only about one minute. Several parties
who were fishing in skiffs, report that there
was a sudden rise In the water and violent
commotion like a whirlpool. The skiffs
weathered the singular storm without acct
dent. The damage to property on shore is
roughly estimated at $50 900. Steamboat
mep, who came in this morning, report a
short equan an6 a sudden movement OF the
water off this port, of which no particular
notice was taken at the time. SO far one
life lost and tramp drowned.

A BIG HAUL.
A st. Louis BaDk Teller Comes to
Grief.

ST. LOUIS, June % - Receiving Teller
Owen, OF the Third Natioaal Bank of st.
Louis, was arrested last night on the charge
of having embezzled $3.50, 900 of the bank
funds. His operations have extended over
several years.
A warrant wss sworn out by the Presi-
dent Of the bank, Thomas E. Tut, this
morning, against Owen. It chaTg S him
with embe zziement OF $3.50 600. President
Tutt also filed an attachment suit in the
civil courts against property owned by
Owen to the amount of $4,000. Ovens
bond is for $50, 900, and the sureties are re-
spOnsible parties, so that the loss to the
bank will, after all, not be great.
A heartrending scene occurred in the
cslaboose this morning when OWENS sister
visited him. She broke down completely,
threw herself on his breast aud wept Bit
terlV. Owen was unnamed and tainted.
A physician was called in, and said that he is
prostrated. 1t now appears that Owen wss
a silent partner in the firm OF Obey, Owen
& Co ia which his fatker was an active
partner, and it is presumed that the
money was lost through this firm. Ovens
ther, however, states positively that the
money was not used by the firm, and that he
is ignorant of how his son got rid OF 1t.
Owen confessed that his defalcation had
extended over ten years.

The agent of the Hebrew Immigrant AID

The agent of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid
Society in New York says the Jewish refu-
gees from Russia are very peculiar people,
and the customary manner Of dealing with
immigrants viii not answer at all with them.
The Swedes or the Germans can be separat-
ed and placed in families or on farms all
over the country, while these Russians want
to go together in large bodies, so that they
may keep up their religious rites and con-
tinue to live apart from the rest of the world
as much as possible. Not one out of hun
dred understands a word of English, and
few have any trade beyond that of shop
keeping and peddling. The experiment Of
settling them as farmers st Yineland, N. j.,
however, appears to be working well. About
300 are now there engaged in telling trees,
clearing the ground, and doing rough farm
work.
