CHICAGO, Aug. 22-The directors of the
board of trade submitted to the board to-
day their report of the investigation of the
charges brought by Peter McGeoch against
Fowler, the great packer. The report says:
"The board of directors have given to the
Investigation of the charges very pro-
tracted and patient hearing, which in their
Judgment has been exhaustive in develop
ing all the facts attainable IN respect to
them, and have arrived at The conclusion
that they have not been sustained. and
have therefore voted that they be dis
missed. Iuasmuch, however, as these
charges involve questions OF the greatest
concern to the members of the association
and to dealers and consumers of pork
products, not only throughout our OWE
country, but in foreign lands as
well, the board of directors, in
view of the evidence submitted,
in this case, both on the part of the de-
PENDANTS and for the prosecution, cannot,
with due regard to their responsibilities to
the public and to the members of this as
ISOLATION, refrain from expressing their
unqualified disapproval of and censure
upon defendants for the remarkable modes
of conducting the business of manufac-
turing lard in their establishment, as de-
veloped by the evidence in this case 1t
appears, and is admitted to have been III
practice during at least several of the re-
cent months, that beef product of various
| firms has been rendered in the same tanks
with hog product, and this mixed product
of certain tanks being conducted through
a system of intricate machinery and pipes
in which also prime steam lard was at
times conveyed to the so-called lard re-
finery, wherein both prime steam lard
and the mixed product used for what
is called refined lard, is drawn off into
packages for market, and this in man
ner that by accident or design the en-
ployes of the establishment could easily
contaminate the purity of their prime
steam lard, which might thus become more
or less adulterated, not only with the beef
product SO rendered with portion OF
their hog product, but also with the cotton
seed oil and other unknown substances
used in the manufacture of so-called re.
fined lard. This board, in view of the ex.
listing methods of manufacturing prime
steam lard in that establishment. recon-
mends that, without delay, the parties sc
readjust their lard manufacturing arrange

this respect shall be effectually removed
and that in case this recommendation i:

up sc, sod off 715@10c, and closed at the
decline. The fever scare in the pork trade
induced the weakness. Within the last ten
days some 5000 tierces of lard have been
received in Chicago from Milwaukee,
of which no record has been
made in the official postings
of the board of trade. The lard came
over the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad, and went into a warehouse at the
stock yards.
Curb c!os1ngs are: September wheat,
$1.O215; October wheat, $1.04$5@1 .O419;
September corn, 5O4c; October corn,
5O14c; October pork, $124O; October lard,
$3.50.
At the stock yards the continued liberal
receipts of cattle has a depressing effect
on prices for common and medium grades,
but for good to choice qualities there was
not such change to notice in values, al
though if anything they were rather
weaker. Texan steers were in liberal sup
ply. but in the absence of sales we quote
the market nominally unchanged. Sales
ranged from $3.121a@3.5O for COWS. and
from SIS. 5000 for choice smooth shipping
steers.
The hog market ruled fairly active and
firm at the opening at a shade higher
figures than yesterday, but later a weaker
feeling prevailed and prices were steady
at yesterdays figures. Shippers and pack
ers were purchasing. Sales ranged from
$475 upwards.

little children from three to seven years,
who were found with. every particle of
clothing torn from their bodies and SO ter
ribly disfgured about their faces and
bodies as to be unacceptable, though
dozen anxious parents have closely scruti-
nized them during the day.
Besides the above the following injured
are being cared for by friends, some
having been taken into the country:
Louie Rose, leg broken,
Mr.. Coons, leg broken.
Franz Clemens, arm broken.
Mrs. McMaster, arm broken.
Thirteen others known to have been in
jured have been taken away by friends
without leaving record of names or ma
ture of injuries.
In all it is believed 100 were injured in
addition to those killed as above. In the
country five dead and ten seriously in
jured have been reported.
The cyclone feature of the storm has
been traced to the southwest corner of
Steele county, sweeping from thence
across Dodge and Olmsted and into the
corner of WiDona in a northeast direction.
Its width across Dodge and until reaching
Rochester was from one to two miles,
after leaving Rochester its width was mar
rowed to three-quarters of a mile. This
entire track nearly sixty miles in length
has been swept almost entirely clean of
everything standing above ground, build
ings, grain, fences, trees, ETC., SO that the
loss sustained by Rochester must be but
small item in the grand total. In Ohm
sted county, west of Rochester, fourteen
| large farm houses and out-buildings were
entirely destroyed.
The following are some of the principal
sufferers in the city:
Marvin & Cammack, Crescent creamery,
$4,000.

track, $1,000.
Written & Judd, elevator, $4,000.
Railroad depot, bridge and round house,
$4,000.
John W. Coles Touring mill building
badly wrecked and machinery destroyed
$4,000.
Mr.. Cole was standing in the door of the
mill when the storm came up. AS he
stepped outside the wind pitched him into
the air some distance and then hurled him
to the ground breaking every bone in his
body.
L. Fondros, mill, $4,000.
Broadway iron bridge, $4,000.
A. D. Vedder's machinery depot un-
rooted and upper story walls blown down.
$4,000.
House and goods of Geo. Stocking
$4,000.
Ten business blocks were unroofed, loss
$4,000.

hurting the debris in opposite directions
as it moved along.

and Donman's buildings were entirely &C.
stroyed and one child killed.
Thos. McGovern's buildings were swept
away and several families injured.
Much damage was done farm property
and live stock.
The storm then entered Rochester, tax
ing northwesterly course through the
city. Three hundred houses are destroyed
and fully 200 damaged. The Congrega-
tional church, where thirty-fve children
had just returned from picnic, had the
spire blown off but no children hurt. The

S. WRITTEN
Mayor of Rochester


Fully approaching the extent of the
emergency, as intimated in the telegram,
and realizing that prompt action must be
taken to afford the relief that so many
stood in need of. Gov. Hubbard at once
started for City hall, where the committee
on reception and programme for the
entertainment of the Willard party
were in session at the mayors Office. AS
sembled here were about fifty of the most
prominent and substantial citizens of st.
Paul, and here the news of the disaster
was received with the profoundest express
sions of sympathy and regret.
The regular business of the meeting was
entirely suspended, and more substan-
tial or spontaneous recognition of an ap-
peal TO the finer attributes OF humanity
was never witnessed. Within five minutes
after the entrance of Gov. Hubbard
the gentlemen present had
pledged the sum of $4,000,
and on motion of Mr.. Ferdinand W1llius it
was decided that demand note for the
amount should be drawn up and Endorsed
by all present. This procedure was decid-
ed upon as being the most feasible, as the
money could be secured and forwarded
without delay.
The form of the vote and its endorsers
are as follows:
ST. PAUL, Aug. %, 1s83.-Fer value received
Willius, trustee, s., coo with interest at & per
cent. per aunum until paid, payable on demand

ROCHESTER,, MINI, Aug. 22.-It was 80
o'clock p. m. before your envoy reached
this terribly stricken city. About mile
before the city was reached the country on
either side of the railroad showed the eff
feet of the storm. 1t began to be OBJ
servable in broken trees, fences laid low,
Frustrated corn and other crops, buildings
partially unroofed and destroyed.
The nearer the city was approached the
greater became the evidences of the gen.
eral destruction, until upon reaching the
Zumbro river the progress of the train was
stopped, the fine covered bridge which for
nerly spanned it having been blown en-
tirely away down to the piers.
The storm struck the city at O'Clock,
about the center of the west side of the
town, and swept diagonally across, and
passing to the northwest, with
Zumbrio street as ssits south line,
covered a space a mile and three
quarters in length by three-quarters
in width in which every building, tire e
hundred in number, is virtually destroyed,
! together with furniture, etc. Besides this
it is estimated that 200 buildings have suf-
fered in loss of roofs, etc, from 100 to 900
more somewhat damaged.
It is impossible at this writing to give
detail of LOSSES, but it is claimed that it
will exceed 100000.
The loss of life is appalling, twenty
more dead within the city limits now be-
ing accounted for. These are principally
scattered about among the different under
takers and others have been removed by
friends to quarters unknown, and as no
list has been kept by anyone I cannot now
give full names of all. The following is 4
