Republican Congressional Committee
showing that it was being used as a means
Of demanding money from employees OF
the Government under pretense of volun-
tsry contributions. No employe has es-
capped. Even ladies and day laborers had
been called upon. A page had been asked
for 50 lest the Democracy should come
into power. Hubbell himself was inviting
men into legal danger, and his arguments
were vain.
Conger said the Democrats when in
power always made political assessments.
Allison said this was exactly the same
circular as was sent out heretofore, and
was a request for purely voluntary contri-
buttons. In the earnest and exciting
struggle of 1880, a circular was sent alike
to those who were and those who were not
employees of the Government, the only dis
~tinction observed being as to those who
were supposed to be willing to contribute
| to Republican success. OF the vast mum
Der of Government employees throughout
the country, say 100, 900, only II, 514 made
an affirmative response, a little more than
o~ne-tenth. He now, in his place, asserted
and challenged the Senators from Ohio
and kentucky, Pendleton and Beck, to
cite a single instance to disprove his asser-
ton, that not one officeholder who failed
to contribute in 1880 was removed from
Office for that cause. His own sincere
conviction was that not one nan had been
disturbed. This was the most convincing
proof Of the character OF the appeal then
made by the committee. 1t was his belief
as a member of the present committee that
no officer or employee would be disturbed
hereafter because OF an unfavorable re-
sponse or neglect to respond.
Hale said that he, with other Republi-
can members, had authorized the Republi-
can circular, and he had no apology to
make. 1t called simply for voluntary con-
tributions. The subject was informally
laid aside until to-day.
Terrible Storm i'll Nebraska.
LINCOLN (Neb.), June 27.-The most
terrific storm Nebraska has known for
years gathered yesterday morning in But
Ter County and swept in a southeasterly
direction through Saunders, Lancaster,
Cass, Otoe and Nemaha Counties, doing
the greatest damage in a belt twenty-five
miles wide between Wahoo and Weston.
In the southern part of Saunders County
a heavy hail accompanied the rain, beating
down corn badly and utterly running small
grain. Under the bridges on Wahoo
Greek the hail was packed two feet deep.
Two residences in Wahoo were blown
down, and a two-story barn was lifted up
and carried fifty feet, leaving a team Of
horses unhurt tied to the manger. A
herd of 125 ponies was swept by the storm
eight miles southwark over fields and
through wire fences. Hailstones as big as
eggs and walnuts bombarded Wahoo, and
not a pane OF glass was left in the win
dows. A new schoolhouse at Clear Greek
was wrecked, also two dwellings. II is re-
ported that at Brainard a mans arm was
broken and two children killed. Near
Talmage, in Nehama County, the wind
hurled a freight car down the bank and
struck a hand car under which six section
men had sheltered themselves. They did
not see the flying car in time to escape
and it killed one outright and fatally in
jured the five Others. A girl and boy were
killed near Brainard, and their mother
and father badly injured. A woman had
her leg broken at Rising. A child was
drowned at Weston. A woman was Sc
verely injured and two children killed
in Butler County.

BosToN, June ~27.-About 300 girls en-
ployed by the Columbia Rubber Company

NEwBURaH IN. j., June 81. - The
freight handlers have refused to unload
the barges OF west-bound freight.
JERSEY Cry. June 27.-The authorities
have made extensive preparations to sup
press riots. The Pennsylvania Company has
employed 200 special police. A large
number OF strikers assembled last night
at st. Michael's Institution, under the
auspices OF a delegation from the Switch.
men'a Union OF the Central Railroad.
These men, who number % in all, are
masters of affairs in the Jersey City yards
OF this company, as work cannot be done
without them, except with extreme slow
ness. The brakemen and switchmen Of
the Erie, on the west side OF Bergen Hill,
and the Wehawken branch. have Joined
the strikers. Efforts will be made to put
a complete stop to the movement of freight
trains on the Erie road and to cut off the
supplies Of the great oil works of We
hawken. The strikers forbid the handlers
to have anything to do in the future with
any of the stock, berry or milk trains.
This will cause great delay and incon-
venience to the roads. The Jersey City
machine shops Of the New York, Lake Erie
and Western Railroad will strike to.mor-
row.
PHILADELPHIA, June 27.-The Pennsyl.
vania Railroad officers state that a majority
Of their freight handlers who we're on

ond attempt to arrest Vented at his
gambling house. He again opened fire on
the Deputy, which resulted in the death Of
Harry Demnon, Justice OF the Peace, and

gamblers here, tonight, as the citizens are
much excited and wild with rage.
Another Dose or 9uiteau.
WAsHISdToY, June 27.--Warden Crocker
says the stories about Guiteau bearing up
SO we'll during the last week are untrue.
He has lost five pounds within the last ten
days, and has to be tempted to eat. He
keeps up very well before the few visitors
admitted to see him, but the guards at the
Jail see a marked change in him. Warden
Crocker, however, thinks he may keep up
pretty we'll, and if his vanity is properly |
PLAYED upon, will 90 through his mart nm
