Lake Erie's Placid B0som Ruffied In nm
Es Unusual Manner,

Lake Erle's Placid HOsom I'm fled In nm
Is Unusual Manner.
CLEVELAND, O., June % IA remarkable
tidal wave swept the lake front here at six
o'clock this morning. From the best in.
formation now obtainable the wave was
about two miles wide and II feet higher
than the surface Of the lake. 1t came in
the wake Of dense, angry looking black
and gray cloud, which moved sullenly
from the nor,hward over the city. There
was no wind and no rain at the lake shore,
but there was a dash Of rain in some parts
OF the city and the wind blew flercely.
South OF the town the vessels parted lines
at the mouth Of the rivers. Piers and
docks were submerged to depth Of 1 feet.
In some places hundreds OF fish were cast
ashore. Fire was put out in the Lake Erie
rolling mill on the beach Of the river. A
scow loaded with sand, lying at the break
water was landed high and dry on the
shore. A short stretch Of railway
near the Union depot was ripped up,
numerous switch shantics and small
buildings overturned or moved about. A
tramp sleeping upon the top OF q sewer
where it empties into the lake, was drowned.
One man standing on the bank was thrown
down and washed against the wall of the
Union depot. Another, sitting on the
switch house was buried in the waves. {.
Timber heads we're torn out Of two scows
in the river. Iron rails twenty.eight feet
long, piled near the depot, were lifted up
and scattered in confusion. Huge logs were
was he'd ashore. The wave lasted about one
minute. Several parties were fishing in
skids. They report sudden rise in The
water, andia violent commotion like n
whirlpool. SkiiTs weathered the singular
storm without accident. The damage TO
property on the shore is roughly estimated
at $50 900. S,eamboatmen who came in
this morning report Il short and sudden
movement OF the water oH this port. in
which no particular notice was taken at the
time, ,ass2 2 .,.I5! - ''5"'S -

a large heavy curtain hanging over the
water; above it u contorted angry looking
eonglolnera.ion Of clouds, and north Of Il q
large stratus cloud 1t moved yery ram

the shore. When first seen the tidal
wave was about onc.quarter Of mile from
shore and appeared like great green wall
ten feet high. The lake lad been calm
and this was the first disturbance OF the
surface. The wave Is swept along
rapidly and silently until i
reached the shallow water when 1t made a
loeNd swishing noise and broke on the
shore with n great roar. The wave reached
from nortl-northeast to south-southwest,
After i struck the shore two recoi
waves followed close together. AT G:35, n
quarter OF MI hour after, the wave reached
the shore, shower began which lasted
fifteen minutes, during which 2.l00 Of an

FOg the information OF our esteemed
friend; Of the Fairmont Iiirginiun we de.
sire to say that the 1STELLiG ESCEK has
never said so much us one word to the dis
plragement Of General Beaver, OF Pennsyi-
vlnia, Republican candidate for Governor
in that State, and We call upon the I'iryi-
man to point to any single word OF that
kind in our columns. On the contrary,
the lSrRlL.GEScER does not yield to the
'ityaiap OR any other Republican paper
in its admiration Tor General Beaver. lie
is an admirable man. He It is who lends
strength and dignity to the Cameron ticket
IN Pennsylvania, and il it is elected Mt NIL
it will be Beavers name and character
that will pull it through. There are any
number OF Republicans in Pennsylvania
who will be attracted to the support OF the
ticket because OF General Beaver being on
Il, Who would not otherwise support it.
All the papers that criticize Cameron's
DOsSlsm speak respectfully OF General
Beaver. Even the Philadelphia Times III.
wars discriminatcs between General Bea-
yer and Cameron. They nll under
stanl that Cameron relies on Bea'
ye's popularity to overcome his
osa dead weight. While we do
not conceal our sense OF the injustice that
sdOHe to the safety aud success Of the Re-
publican party in Pennsylvania by the grip
oi Cameron upon its machinery, yet we
10 not many wise hold General Beaver us
responsible for Cameronism. The Cam.
fonshare tied themselves to Beaver Just us
HIhhad, when hopelessly lost in tho Valley,
tle' himself to the leg OF the eagle in the
hope that il would still be strong enough
10 wing its ilightwith such n load, and carry
hin nsalely out Of the Valley. Gen. Beaver
IN this ease represents tho eagle aud Cam
eFon represents the individual who desired
tobe ped out OF his present danger.
