of The Wild wlndi-Th, Miraculous Escape
Of People from Death -StOrlss that
are Almost Incredible.

JUNCTION Cry, KS, April lO.-All day
Sunday the roads were lined with people
going 10 IT. Riley to view the wreck made
by Friday nights storm. The freaks ofthe
wind, without ocular proof, are simply be-
yond belief. That there was no loss Of life
is nothing less than miraculous. The wind
pursued spiral course, destroying one
building IN its course and skipping the
next. The Commfssary and QddrtefmaS.
ter's storehouses were unroofed and a pOr-
tiOn OF the side Of one OF them was ripped
of us though 1t had been sawed In two.
The stores in these buildings were thus
exposed, and are now covered with canvas
roof. Several OF the soldiers quarters are
in some instances wholly gone, and in
others partly so. or the officers quarters
the greatest wreck is the one occupied by
Major Deweese and DR. Fulton, How these
gentlemen and their wives escaped death
is the most astounding story Of the storm.
Where their beds were are several stones
weighing from fifty 10 one hundred pounds
each, and the roof fell in, the end near
their beds lodging, while the opposite end
felhto the floor, but the occupants escaped
without scratch
The kitchen portion OF the quarters oc.
Cupicd by Lieutenant Dimmick's family
was destroyed, the wreck showing fearful
mixture OF stones and broken cookingJ
ware, In one OF the soldiers quarters
great rocks fell among the hunks occupied
by them, but only three soldiers were hurt
so as to be sent to the hospital. But the
greatest curiosity is the stable, which SUI.
tered the greatest damage. There were
probably seventy.five horses in the stalls
Oh the side mostly damaged. They broke
their haIter and moved back us the fall
came, the stable being filed to the depth
Of five or six feet with rocks, ralters and
other debris.
Only four horses were caught by the
falling wreck, and but ono Of them in.
jured, so that ii had to be shot. Sections
Of the roof were carried several hundred
yards, and great stones from the walls
scattered all about. A portion OF the COM
mand are now in tents. The destruction
is so great as to cause considerable interest
in the actions Of the Government rs TO the
reconstruction in good shape OF the post or
its abandonment. A board OF survey,
consisting OF DR.. Tilton, Major Deweese
and Lieut. Burnett, are engaged in examin-
ing and estimating the loss. The track Of
the storm, a half mile or SO south OF juno
ton City, is US distinct as the furrow Of a
plow.

New PIIIADELplHA, Ono, April TO-
The Cleveland, TusCarawas Valley and
Wheeling Railroad enjoys the reputation
OF having the best set OF officers OF any
road in the country. With such men as
Messrs. Thornburgh, Grant, and General
Manager Townsend at the helm the road
can not be otherwise than popular.
New Workers, after all their endeavors
against dititrehtiat rates, are oil opinion
tha: the decision OF the Advisory Commiss.
ion will be against them, and that diffcrcn-
tial rates to the seaboard will be recon.
meudud. Then will come the test whether
Mr.. Vanderbilt will knuckle down or
whether the pool will be knocked TO pieces
and another freight war inaugurated.

city's corporation. Piles have been sunk
in the stretch Of RawSon's marsh nj tho
foot Of the hill on the north limit Of the
city, but the cross ties 10 mount this work
have not yet been put on, or the grade ut
places along the river side the road will
run below the natural surface OF the
ground. As spring overflows are frequent,
this portion OF the road will be under
water at such times.

The exhibit this week is on the whole
the most gratifying. particularly in view Of
the TACT that the comparison is between
FIVE working days Of this year and six Of
last. In this State the fast day occurred on
Thursday and at New York, PHILADELPHIA
and Baltimore, and number OF Western
cities, Also good Friday was observed as
a holiday. With little or no business trans.
acted on that day, with the exception of
indianapolis, where the falling off is due
purely to local causes, in no case is the
decrease Of exchange as much MS one
sixth, while the increase at many other
points is quite large.
1t must be borne in mind that last wear
Good Friday fell q weak later. In spiie Of
these disturbing influences in tweniy.two
leading cities the total gross exchanges of
the week amount to 81, 1856 sos, GAL, against
81, ,2l7, ,G23,6S5 in twcnty.three cities last
week as compared with the corresponding
week Of last year. They show an increase
OF per cent, against 43.l0 per cent last
week and 25 per cent the previous week,
In New York the clearings show an in.
crease Of G2.l0 per cent, against 4G. 10 Der
cent last week and 27.3 per cent the pre-
vious week. Outside oi New York. the
country Mt large, the clearings show gain
OF $50 per cent, against deficit Of o., D per
cent, thus indicating TO some extent lie
healihiul revival Of business.

WASHINGTON, D. G., April l0-Mr. Reed
said to-day that he would make an at
tempt to have day set about iour weeks
hence, at which time he would argue be-
fore the court in banc the bill Of excep-
tons in the Guiteau case. In company
with Mr.. ScoVille he paid Guiteau visit
at the jail today, and says that the latter
is iuriously indignant ut his brother-in-
law for various expressions OF opinion
which he has made since the close Of the
trial-at one time SCoville had referred to
him as guilty; at another time in Chicago
bud stated that he probably ought to hang
as IN example to other lunatics Of his
kind.
This last expression was telegraphed
from Chicago to the Post in this city which
paper Guiteau takes. Again short time
since in an appeal which Mr.. Scoville
made to Congress for some remuneration
for his services in the case, he referred to
Gulteau as the assassin, this was too much
for the murderer 10 bear, aud he refused to
sec Mr.. Scovilte when he visited the jail
to-day. Mr.. Scoville is in bad way, tinan.
Cially, and short time since Mr.. Reed
succeeded in securing from Guiteau for
Mr. Scoville's use about Sl4O, which the
after had made in various ways.
To-day Air. Scoyille desired Guiteau to
sign his name to about 500 photographs,
which should be sent to Chicago to be sold
for Seoville's benefit. Mr.. Reed approached
Guiteau upon the subject, but the latter,
when he understood that the proceeds
were to go to ScovilIe, absolutely refused
to have anything to do with the project.
Mr.. Reed says his (Guiteau's) hatred for
Scoville is growing more intense every day;
and that he (Reed) is the only person who
has any influence nvnr the nssuNsin nnw
