cyclone struck our city, completely demoI-
ishing 135 dwellings and totally DESTROYING
a large number. Others were sunroofed
and otherwise badly damaged, ffty-one
persons were killed outright and about 100
wounded, several of them fatally. The
ruined houses were nearly all owned and
occupied by mechanics and laborers, who
lost everything they had in the
world, except the clothing upon their
persons. In many cases the heads of
families are injured. The cyclone entered
the county at its western border, and in
its course destroyed the crops and build
ings on about forty farms. Others lying
contiguous were damaged. The relief
committee has detailed list of 104 fami-
lies who are entirely destitute. We ap-
peal to the public for aid. The leading
business men of the city are heavy losers,
and cannot therefore do as much for the
sufferers asEthey would wish They have,
however, contributed, ,liberally None of the
public buildings have escaped damage. Our
school building is destroyed, the court
house is unroofed, the churches are se-
riously injured. one of them, the Metho-
dit, demolished; the elevators and ware
houses are in ruins. Provisions sre plen-
tiful, clothing and carpenters are needed;
100000 expended in tools, lumber, etc,
for the families would scarcely put them
on their feet sufficiently to enable them to
help themselves. All contributions are in
the hands of thoroughly organized COM
mlttee OF twenty-one citizens, and may be
forwarded to any one Of the undersigned.

The trustees and members Of the M. E.
church issued an appeal o-day. The pas
tor of this church is we'll and favorably
known IN st. Paul and we hope his appeal
IN this hour OF darkness and disaster will
not be IN vain. He has been doing a
grand work IN Rochester and now has a
herculean task before him. Help him
with heart and hand. The following is
the circular:
RoCHEsTER, Aug. 24.-Dear brother:
The terrible cyclone of August 21st, so
completely destroyed our church that it
will be necessary to rebuild it from the
foundation. Six thousand dollars will be
required to rebuild. Fourteen of our
families are hopeless and destitute. Many
members of the church are
among the heaviest losers. These
have recently given according to their
ability to relieve the suffering of others.
We are unable to meet the demand upon
Us, and therefore appeal for help. We
must rebuild at once. The interests of
Methodism in Rochester are too important
to be allowed to suffer for lack of church
building. Will you read this appeal to
your people Sabbath forenoon, raise all
the money you can for us, and send the
money to Rev. j. Stafford, Rochester

A telegram from Philadelphia says:
'The matter of money continues unduly
prominent in our maket, and has made it
much more than usually independent in
New York. The banks, though in very
strong condition, have shown less and less
mercy, and some loans have been called
without reason. Indeed there has hardly
been day during the week
when good houses have not
been driven to the street by the refusal of
banks to accommodate them. Loans have
been called where the bargain was good
and ample upon the plea of poverty, but
the money thus called has been offered to
the money lenders on the street at lower
rates. People have freely paid 8@10 per
cent. upon stocks which were carried in
New York at 2 per cent. and the banks
have thus played into the hands of the
bears in that city, who have taken advan-
tage of this unusual stringency in this
market to ship lot of stocks of which the
street had already more than enough and
compel sacrifices.

generous people, bnt it is doubtful if the
full strength of their normal health will
ever return. His excellency the governor
hopes (and he has got faith to believe his
hope will be realized) that all those who
have not yet contributed to the relief of
the sufferers at Rochester and in the
course of the death dealing and devastat-
ing cyclone of last Tuesday, will promptly
and cheerfully come forward with gen

scribe large sum to the Garfield election

would, If elected president, send to the SEN

a vacancy cccasioned by the death, resig

Will you be so kind as to tell me frankly as
to whether there is any truth in this, or
whether you made any arrangement at all
to have him placed upon the supreme
bench. feel have right to ask this of
you because L worked hard and in good
faith for his confirmation, having known
him from his boyhood and believed in his
great ability and integrity. Very truly yours,

New York CITY, ,495 Broadway,July 81
To Washington Mclean, jamestown, R. l.:
Dear Sir: have your letter. The story
that ever paid any money to secure the
nomination of Stanley Matthews or any
one else to the supreme bench is a pure
fabrication. had no bargain nor under
standing with Gen. Garfield of any sort,
directly or indirectly. Ny acquaintance
with Mr.. Matthews was not intimate, and
indeed, now that 1 write 1 remember that
it was at your own personal solicitation
after his nomination asked Mr.. Plumb
by an open telegram to aid, if consistent.
in his (Matthews) confirmation. Matthews
was never my counsel. Indeed, he was
friend if not counsel for the Texas & Pa
cifc, then controlled by Thos. A. Scott, and
which was at the time hostile interest to
those i'll which I was interested. Yours

Fort YATES, D. T., Aug. 22.-(Via Bis
marck )-Senators Dawes, Logan and
Cameron, of thei select committee to in
quire into the grievance OF the Sioux
Indians, held council here to day with
the confederated bands of this agency.
About 800 Indians were present including
Sitting Bull, Coll and Rain-in-the Face,
said to be the man who killed Gen. Custer.
The inquiries of the commission were
principally directing to the terms of
agreement ceding $4,000 square miles Of
this reservation to the government in con-
sideration of $4,000 COWS and 1000 bulls.
The Indians claimed they signed the
agreement while not fully understanding
it. They say they now wish to become
farmers and own their land in
severality if they can be furnished
with implements and instruction in culti-
vation. They are not willing to give up
their rations, but insist upon their con-
tinuation under any policy.
In the council Sitting Bull told the
committee that he had been appointed by
the Great Spirit to speak to them and that
he alone had the right to express the SEN
timents of the Sioux. When informed that
all should receive equal recognition he
used insulting language to the committee
and left the council. He afterwards re-
turned and apologized and addressed the
committee saying he wished $8,000,000 for
the land covered by the agreement.
Gen. Logan replied to Sitting Bull and
informed him that he was not chief and
that ii he used like language to another
committee he would be thrswn into the
guard hcuse and be made to work.

Special TELEGRAM to the Globe.
New YORK, June 1.-THE demand for
stocks continues, and the tendency is still
towards higher prices. Properties which
were dull yesterday came to the front this
morning. Among them may be mentioned
Northwestern and the Wabashes, Illinois
Central and Pullman. The last was quite
active, selling at 1874. Western Union, on
the statement that the ~ per cent. divi-
dend would be declared to-day, rose to
87B. Reading was the favorite among
the coalers, touching 6034, and was in de-
mand, with considerable excitement in the
stock. The Vanderbilts were very strong
during the afternoon. Also the North
ern Pacifcs. The upward move
ment held until the close
with good buying of about everything on
the list. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
touched 1868, and New York Central
124115 in final dealings. There appears to
be quite deal in Erie. 1t sold at So.
The feeling was decidedly buoyant at the
last. Throughout the street the most con-
selling bull talk prevailed. Much higher
signs of an approaching bull campaign
were visible The men who have the
boom in charge are G. K. Osborne, He:ry
n. Smith and the Guild brothers
One drawback, the heaviest, is the
disposition of railroads to list new
bonds and stocks. Mr.. Gould's and Mr..
Vanderbilt's position at present is we'll
known. Both believe in higher figures, al
though Gould's stocks act heaviest when
the rest of the market is buoyant and dis
posed to advance. The strength in coal
stocks continues to be the wonder of the
street. Lackawanna is well enough, but
Readings remarkable strength mystifes
all. Union Pacific maintains its strength
well. The advance in Northern Pacific is
generally credited to steady buying, which
has been the feature in Northern Pacific
for several weeks.
4 broker usually right II his views of the
stock said: Il look for steady appreciation
in the value of Willard ks during the
next sixty days. The idea that there will be
! a great boom on the announcement OF the
completion of the road is incorrect. Such
boom would brig out stock and would
create an appearance of unsteadiness
which, think, is what the management, sc
far as it takes interest in the stock at all
would wish to avoid. They would much
rather see wider area of buying an6
steady hardening of prices commensurate
with the approach of the road to compile
ton. A very large tonnage awaits con-
nection with the Oregon Navigation. The
crops along the line afford excellent pros.
poets for the coming year, and see moth
| ing to affect the properly unfayorably."

GREAT BRITAIN.

LONDON, June 13.-The trial of the men
concerned in the dynamite conspiracy was
| resumed this morning. Detectives testi-
| fed that Ansburgh, on being apprehended,
was asked to give an account of himself,
and was told if he refused he would have
himself to blame for anything which hap
| pened to him. He said he came from
America. Chief Justice Coleridge ex-
pressed the opinion that as the prisoner
was not provided with counsel no state
ment elected by threats or promise would
be heard against him. Evidence was given
by witnesses to show that the connection
between Ansburgh and DR.. Gallagher was
proved. The latter introduced the former
at Charing Gross hotel as Mr.. Gallagher"
in order that he might obtain letters and
kilograms. Ansburgh, in examining
Inspector Melville in regard
to the words which passed between them
when the former was arrested called the
inspector liar because he denied he had
said to him, (Ansburgh,) at that time ''You
had better turn informer and get $500"
Chief Justice Coleridge then interposed
and restored order. A police inspector
of Glasgow testified that he visited Bern
ard Gallagher while in prison there. Gal
lagher stated that he knew other prisoners,
but said he was uot connected with the
dynamite schools in New York. He said
he knew O'Donovan Rosa presided over
one of the schools. An Irish constable
swore Curtin lived at Fermoy, Ireland,
under the name of Kent after he left
America, and he was connected with the
Gallaghers.
Magendie, government inspector, testi
fed that he examined the contents of
Whitehead's factory at Birmingham which
com orises 200 pounds of nitro-glycerine,
5,4O0 pounds nitric acid and 700 pounds
of sulphuric acid. He also examined the
portion of the local government board
offices wrecked by explosives, and gave
his opinion that twenty pounds of nitro
glycerine caused the damage. The case
for the prosecution was declared closed,
and Mr.. Clarke began his argument on
behalf of the defense. He declared there
was no occasion to defend the prisoners
against the charge of levying
war against the government as
no evidence showed them guilty.
Justice Coleridge declared if the prison
ers agreed to destroy the property of the
crown, to endanger life or to intimidate
the couDsellors of the queen or parliament,
they had virtually levied war against the
country. Counsel for defense submitted
that there was no case against Bernard
Gallagher, who acted under the influence
of drink. Court adjourned.
