western passenger train was caught in a tor
nado this afternoon fifteen miles south of
Green Bay, and nearly wrecked. The rain
poured through and drenched the passengers.
The cars stood on one rail for a long distance
owing to the force of the wind, and trees fell
across the track, being smashed off like pipe
stems. The darkness was great. The engi-
neer saw evidences OF buildings wrecked.
The storm passed over TO the north and
west. An unknown schooner was seen, bot
tom up, thirty miles off this port, to-day, by
the City of Milwaukee. while on trip from
Grand Haven. No name could be discovered,
and it is supposed all hands were lost The
lightning caused the destruction of private
residence and barn at La Crosse. Washouts
occurred on nearly all the railroads in this
vicinity, and it is rumored that two trains
were thrown from the track and passengers
slightly injured by being thrown from their
berths. Mrs Grace FOUL was killed at
Dodgeyille in the downfall of her house,
which was struck by the tornado. Another
woman is reported killed at u small town

DANvILLE July 2l.-The locally famous
libel suit of L. F. Wilson, editor of the
Gazette vs. Crabb & Parker, of the Republican,
for So, 900 damages, was given to the jury at
o'clock this afternoon. Four days have
been occupied in this trial of the case, dur
ing which time an exceedingly lively interest
has been manifested in the proceedings by
the citizens of the town and vicinity Opin-
ion is diversified as to the outcome, and it is
by no means improbable that the jury will
disagree, no agreement having been reached
at this writing. The plaintiff made strong
case, and the defense was justification.

FRANKLIN. July 21.-Last night, between
the hours of ii and IL o'clock, Amos Morri-
son, farmer residing in Clark township,
this county, was aroused by the noise of a
wagon which stopped in front OF his barn.
Morrison arose, dressed himself and quietly
watched the driver of the team, who pro-
ceeded to feed his horses, after which he
entered the barn and began loading a
quantity of wheat stored therein. Morrison
hastily aroused several of his neighbors,
who, armed with shot-guns, surrounded the
barn. Upon being hailed the stranger drew
a revolver and showed fight but upon dis
covering the situation, surrendered. 1t was
found that he had twenty-six bushels of
wheat loaded, when arrested. He proved to
be an entire stranger in the county; is of low
stature, heavy build, black hair and eyes,
and card on his wagon showed it had been
purchased at Chillicothe. Ill. After his
arrest he was bound with ropes, brought
here and placed in the county Jail. He gave
the name of Peter Washington. When
captured he had IN his possession a good
span OF horses and wagon, supposed to have
been stolen.

A Reassuring Report.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 22.-Hon. w. E.
Russell, of Lebanon, KY, president or the
Catholic Knights of America, telegraphs the
Courier-Jo Journal as follows:
Il have just returned from Chattanooga
Tenn, where 1 went to Investigate the de-
falcation of John L. Heshmer, late treasurer
of the order. The treasurer's books have
been examined and compared with the
amounts received by the present treasurer
from the branches. believe the books are
correct. Last May Heshmer owed $780,
which he paid. Since then the books show
receipts of $23, 668 and payments of $13, 5S8
leaving balance of $10,0799O. OF this, 50, 900
was left in the bank at Grafton, W. Va, to
pay the claim of Mary Donnely, which was
improperly paid out by the bank, and either
the bank or Heshmer's bondsmeE are re-
sponsible. There is in the Chattanooga
bank, to the credit of the widows and Or
phans fund, $33 900, the new treasurer hay
ing paid $50, 900 in the last two months.
Only 500, 900 in orders are now out against
the fund. Money is now coming into the
treasury at the rate of $500 daily. Prompt
measures will be taken to collect the deficit
from Heshmer's securities and no one need
feel worried about the solvency OF this mag
niticent charity"

Reyes, was compelled to marry girl named
Stewart, whom he had ruined. He aban-

terday he was invited by the father-in-law,
Samuel Stewart to call and see the wife and
try and adjust matters. Warm words were
used, and to-day Keys, accompanied by
his father, approached Stewart in a
crowd and the quarrel was renewed. Stewart
struck at the boy with chair and received a
blow from the elder Reyes At this the
young man drew a revolver and shot Stewart
through the heart. He exclaimed ooh, I
am killed. and Immediately expired. Many
persons were in favor of lynching, but better
counsels prevailed, and father and son are
both now in Jail at Delphi where they APP
peared composed when visited. Stewart was
a model citizen, and was held in the highest
esteem
