Into a Furnace.

ing OF the 21st inst, as the inmates of the
hospital for the insane were being taken out
to labor i'll the feld, Charles Furhman, a
patient, contrived to escape the eye
of the attendant and found his way into
the boiler room. The fireman not suspect
ing him to be a patient, paid but little at
tention to him and presently went into the
next room, leaving the stranger by the fur
mace door. He returned and requested him
to close it. Furhman instantly stopped,
sprang he :dlong through the opening,
which is about eighteen inches square,
crawled into the upright boiler over the hot
CRATES, and finally rose erect with his
back against the glowing brick wall. Help
was Immediately summoned, but in a mo-
ment the poor fellow fell forward, literally
baked by the intense heat. When his life
less body was dragged forth a minute later
every vestige ofheir and clothing had dis
appeared. Coroner Mosse and Capt. M. J..
Daniels, the resident trustee, were i'm
mediately summoned. but after having seen
the remains and learning the facts, they
decided that no inquest was necessary.
Furhman was ftty-two years old. He was
committed to the asylum last January; and
his insanity was of a mild type. His friends
live at West Albany, Wabasha county.

MORE FRAUDULENT WARRANTS.

Gen. Beadle. Superintendent of Public In.
suing School Orders or Warrants IL Belna
Worked, and Warns the Bankers.
From the Pioneer Press, Goth.
From Gen. W. q. Beadle, who is superip-
tendent of public instruction for Dakota, and
was in st. Paul yesterday on his return t.
Yankton, from a long trip visiting many coun-
ties, the news was obtained that frauds sim,la,
to those tried in Douglas county, are attempted
in other sparsely settled regions by pretended
school districts. The plan pursued is the old
one of organizing a district by a few men, who
camp there long enough under tents, or wag-
ons, or boards, and make a contract to erect
and furnish a schuol house, and issue the
s'orders' or warrants of the district to the
amount of from 81. 500 10 $5, 5000, and imme-
d,ately deliver them to the contractor. From
the best information he had been able to OBJ
tain, it seems that the district is formally or
qualify. Up to this lime there is moth
ing to specially draw suspicion upon
the acts. All the rest is done at a single meet
ing held a few days later. They follow the
law as closely as possible, and even claim
legality for the whole issue; Nevertheless
Beadle says that in his opinion the warrants
are wholly void. The district as a public
school corporation is not authorized to create a
debt in that way. Warrants or ''orders'' can
only be drawn against a fund in the treasurer's
hands. or one TO be raised by . tax already
legally levied. An act limits the raising Of
funds for building a school house on credit to
the issue of regular coupon bonds. The orders
referred to as fraudulent are in large amounts.
usually, and are endorsed as presented to the
treasurer land not paid for want of funds"
after which a legal order runs at 8 per cent
interest until paid Bankers and others are
advised to report all large orders, and to in
quire of county superintendent Of the proper
counties. In case of smaller orders, care is
able UNI. supt. Beadle declined to specify
the locality of this work, as it might unneces-
sarily affect credit where found in only a rare
exception. He also added that by tie new
school law the township is made the school
corporation, in place of tho district, in about
three quarters Of the counties, and in these
fraud is nearly impossible, particularly in
issuing bonds. Bankers should insist on bonds
instead Of orders. Large orders always now
mean danger. The superintendent said that
he greatly regretted the necessity of this public
notice, and assured the reporter that it meant
40 general danger at all, but simply prudent
watching. Wy

SATURDAYS CYCLONE,

Storm Passed Through Several
Counties in Minnesota, Dakota and
Observation-Disclosures to Life and
Property from Huron, OAK, Near.
ly to the Mississippi River.
WIDESPREAD DISASTER.
The hurricane on Saturday morning seems
to have originated in the vicinity of Hitch
cock, on the northern boundry of Beadle
county, Oak, reaching from that point
north as far as Red6eld. Numerous build
ings were torn down and several persons
wounded, some fatally. Passing east the
storm is next heard of in Codington county,
where much damage was done, particularly
to the crops. So far as can be heard from
the dispatches, it was next learned of at
Sleepy Eye. Brown county, where it was
accompanied with terrific hail. From
there it went to New Ulm, and
crossing the Minnesota river, passed on
through Nicollet countyto st. Peter, lay
ing waste the crops in its course. From st.
Peter it seems to have followed the general
course Of the Winona & St. Peter road
through Kasota, Evansville, Waseca, Meri-
dan, Owatonna, Dodge Center, and Mantor-
lille to Rochester, where it made q sharp
turn to the northeast to the village of FL
gin, Wabasha county, which it almost com-
pletely demolished. Beyond this point the
force of the storm seems to have
been broken, little damage be-
ing reported from the eastward.
The list of casualties is a long one, and
the damage to property is very large. Thus
far eight are reported killed and about sixty
more or less seriously injured. The blow
ing of a passenger train from the track near
Owatonna resulted in the injury of some
forty people. The town of Elgin suffered
most severely, being almost completely
wiped out, and several being killed. A
complete account Of this disaster, however.
is unattainable owing to the telegraphic
trouble and the fact that the town is some
distance from the railroad. The loss to
property cannot as yet be estimated, but Is
very great.
Dodge county, was the scene of disaster
and general wreck. both to buildings and
the crops. owatonna and Waseca are also
heavy sufferers, the buildings on tae State
fair grounds at the former place being en-
tirely destroyed. As yet returns are so in
complete that no estimate is attempted OF
the loss either to the crops or to other pro-
perty, but as the path of the storm was
through a productive agricultural country,
the aggregate amount will undoubtedly be
very large.
