Damage 10 Small Fruits and Crops In
That Section.
CHICAGO, May 23.-A large number Of re-
ports from Iowa points give further details
of damage by the frosts of Sunday, and in.
dicate that last nights cold wave was
equally severe. At Boone, sharp frost
nipped the corn more or less and greatly
injured the fruit, especially in the low
lands. About Dubuque and throughout
Northern Iowa, there was a heavy frost.
Cherries and plums are ruined, and apples
more or less injured. Along the Iowa divi-
sion of the Wabash there was heavy frost,
but corn was not up and no harm done.
There was no frost at keokuk. II was
heavy about Cedar Rapids and all kinds OF
vegetation showed its effects. The weather
has delayed corn planting, and farmers
express fears that the corn already in the
ground will rot At Marshalltown, ice
formed quarter Of an inch thick. and fruit
is greatly damaged. Crops were damaged
considerably about Burlington, garden
stuff was destroyed and corn believed to be
extensively injured. Sioux City reports
unusual but not destructive cold weather.
Leavenworth reports severe frost in that
section'of the Missouri valley, which killed
much tender vegetation. The grain crops
were effected only slightly.
The polar wave struck Madison, Wis,
and the mercury declined almost to freez-
ing, but there was no frost. The cold
weather has retarded but not injured the
crops.
A cold wave at Lincoln. Neb., excited
fears that corn would rot in the ground and
other grain would be injured. To-day prob
ably will bring more reports Of injury.
Last evening was a cold one throughout the
northwest. The night was cloudy and
there was no frost here, but early this
morning light snow fell for nearly an
hour.
On change this morning prices instead OF
being strengthened by unfavorable reports,
were rather weak and declined for the &C.
reals. Receipts of corn we're heaviest ofany
day this year.

terms, and ought TO give some other
man chance, this is being made the rule.
There is no candidate in the field that II
nominated but win poll the full Republi-

Wheat throughout this section will be
good three-tourth crop, and with the in
creased acreage sown, il is likely there will
be as many bushels as last year. Oats are
looking well and will be good yield. The
corn crop is favorable and an increased
acreage planted. Grass never was in better
condition, and prospects now are we will
have larger yield than last year. Peaches
and small fruits all killed, while apples
will be tolerable good yield, the weather
being favorable
Should any one want to make q safe,
profitable investment, let them come here
and build from one to fifty dwelling houses.
The investment would yield them at least
10 or 20 per cent This is very desirable

FILLlBUSTERING
Against Attempts TO Unseat a Demo
crat-The Internal Revenue Bill.

Special DfSDdtch 10 me Re0taeT.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-In the House,
fllibustering to prevent the consideration
of tine Mackey-O Conuor case was con-
tinued to-day. No business was done. The
Republicans are still short ten votes of a
quorum, and until they secure a quorum
OF their own votes the Democrats can pre-
vent action. Those managing the case for
the Republicans expect a quorum by
Friday before one is at hand. Then it will
have TO remain, for at every stage the at
tempt TO seat Mackey will be resisted.
Dibble, the sitting member-who is the
cOnteStee in this case because Of the death
of O'COnnor-asks to- have the case
again recommitted to the Elections
Committee for the reason that since the
Elections Committee made its report in
MaCkey'S favor, certain trials held in Char
lesion disclose frauds in connection with
the case. One witness has testified, who
was a manager of the election, that his de-
position has been altered by Mackey in
several particulars from that given. Other
witnesses will testify that Mackey has will
fully. surreptitiously, fraudulently and
corruptly altered and perverted the testi-
monv in the case. Springer says the Re-
publicans never will be able to get con-
sideration of the case, and as both sides ap-
pear to be solid and determined, it is not
likely that any business will be transacted
this week.
As soon rs the above case is decided, an
effort will be made to call up the Internal
Revenue bill The bill provides for areduc-
ton OF taxes,in the aggregate, of S2i, 900 600.
OF this amount 81. 100000 or more will be
taken oil by repeating the taxes on bank
capital and deposits, bank checks, matches
| &c, An additional reduction OF 50, 100000
will be caused under the provisions OF the
bill by taking off about so per cent Of the
special taxes paid by liquor dealers
| and tobacco manufacturers and
| dealers. Nearly nIne.tenths ot
this sum will be represented by
the reduction of the tax on retail liquor
| dealers from So to $l2, and OF the tax on
dealers of manufactured tobacco from s. tc
$40. The bill also provides for reduc
ton of the tax on cigars from S6 to - pei
thousand. This provision will cause re
| duction of about $3,O0O,O00. When the bill
Is being considered an effort will be made
To add a clause reducing the tax on distill
| ed spirits to fifty cents a gallon, and on
| manufactured tobacco to eight cents. G.

THE SHlPHERD MATTER.
Further Proceedings Before the Com
mittee.

WASHINGTON. May '23.-In the Shipherd
investigation this morning before the SEN
ate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Hit, ex-
assistant Secretary of State, testified that he
knew nothing of any United States Minister
being interested in the Peruvian company
OF Credit InduStriel, or of Morton, Bliss Il
Cos. contract. That contract was never
mentioned in the State Department. The
witness was present as interpreter, when
the Count De Montferrand explained the
aims of the Credit Industriel
in seeking an American protecto-
rate. Blaine said il was contrary 20 the
spirit of our institutions and could not
allow the State Department to enter into
any such arrangement The count was
disconnected. Suarez subsequently unsuc-
cesSfully attempted TO secure an interview
with Blaine. The witness never heard of q
suggestion inviting the Landreau claim
and the Credit Industrial He never saw
the alleged Missouri papers. He first
learned OF them from the newspapers. 1t
would have come under his observation II
il had ever been in the department. Tres
cott was specially charged to investigate
the Landreau claim. Blaine will be again
examined on the Montferrand interview.

injured. Mrs, Jas. Davis will die. Every
house on Barber's farm was blown down.
A number of houses and outbuildiDgs were
carried away. Every bedstead in the Nc
knight house broken, but none OF the
sleepers injured.
C. A. Wilson, of Iron Fork, eight or ten
miles north of Dallas, gives an account OF
the maugliEg of the Turner family. The
house was lifted in the air and torn to
pieces. The storm struck the family about
IL o'clock at night, tearing their clothing
from them, leaving them until next day
naked, wounded and bleeding, and some
dying in the wind and rain. Two little
children were killed. Mr.. Luner's arm
was broken, his sisters arm broken, the
little girls leg broken and all badly bruis-
ed. 1t is feared that Mrs. Luner will not
recover.
Neighbors are repairing Luner's farm,
and will probably save the crop.
The course of the storm so far as heard
from, was attended by destruction every
where.

wrong. Babes were torn from their moth.
ers arms, Drained with tomahawks and
scalped in sight of their shrieking and
heartbroken parents. The slayers almost
waded in blood. After the children had
been despatched came the women's turn.
Dragged one by one by their long
dark hair in the center Of the shambles they
were soon hurried into eternity by one
quick and stunning blow from tomahawk.
Their scalps were then cut off after the
most approved Indian fashion. The white
men were intoxicated with slaughter.
While the women and babes were being
brutality slain in one house the men and
older boys met with a similar fate in an
other. 1t is useless to dwell on the horrible
crime. After
The Ninety Victims
had been dispatched David Williamson and
his gang marched back to their homes. David
Zeisberger was horror stricken when he
heard of the massacre. He did not, how
ever, relax his efforts to convert and civil
lze the Indians. 1t is recorded that after a
lapse of sixteen years some OF his converts
led by Zeisberger returned to the Tuscawa-
ras and settled them once more. Their
stay was short. The influx of whites was
so great, the temptations of rum so strong,
the cnItre6Os 90 frequent. th.t IL. -sn-tiis
valley was soon forsaken by the Indians,
who retired first to Canada and then to the
Moravian mission station in Kansas. The
good and pious Zeisberger died in 1903,
having labored for sixty years among the
Red men.
Such, then, is brief story of the massa-
ere of Gnadenhutten. 1t is hard in these
days to imagine such state of affairs that
could lead to so heartless a slaughter. 1t
is also pleasant to reflect that repetition
of so monstrous crime would be impossi-
BILE anywhere in these days of civilization,
the State of Missouri not being excepted.
The present town of Gnadenhutten is on
the exact site of the old Moravian village
and is beautifully located on the east bank
of the Tuscarawas river on the Pittsburgh,
Cincinnati and st. Louis railroad, midway
between Columbus and Pittsburgh. It
contains about GOO inE Etbitants, has two
churches, three stores ana 4 school house.
Great preparations are now making for
the proper observance of the approaching
centennial of this event and the affair will
be one of unusual interest, especially to
the people of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Presi-
dent Arthur and his Cabinet, ex-President
Hayes, and many other digni .aries are in
vited. Governor Foster will deliver an ad-
dress, and Senator 4. ID. Hollingsworth will
he the orator of the day. Three Delaware
Indians from New Fairfield, Canada, will
participate in the exercises, and Cheyenne
Indians, from Wyoming, will probably be
present PYTHAGORAs.

WESTON, W. VA, May pa Mr.. Dayton,
OF Warrington, W. Va, stopped at the
Hayden House here this evening, having
in his possession q small section of one of
the largest and finest black walnut trees, of
the curled variety, that can be found in the
State. The tree grew in lTpshur county,
not far from Buchanan, the county seat,
and was about seven feet in diameter,
making, when sawed, 600 feet of inch
planks, for which the neat sum of 500 per
thousand feet was paid, the gentleman
from Warrington being the purchaser, the
gross receipts from the lumber amounting
to 5000. This looks like big price for a
single tree, but we heard the purchaser de-
clare that could he have secured the tree
before it was sawed, he would have given
$1,000 for it.
The latest sensation here is the advent of
"tonsorial artist" of the feminine gepdFr
