Tom Thumb,

MIDDLEBoRo July 16.-The death
of Gen. Tom Thumb was very sudden.
He had just arisen from bed, shortly af-
ter being left alone, and was heard to
fall. On going to his room he was found
lying on the floor dead. His wife, who
was at Ocean Grove, arrived this morn
ing. The body was embalmed. On
Wednesday it will be exposed to public
view. Brief private services will then be
held. The body will be taken to Bridge
port, where it will be taken charge of by
the encampment of Knights Templar, OF
which he was a member. Public funeral
services will be held on Thursday. A
stone vault is being constructed on a
magnificent lot belonging to the deceased.

THE STORM PAST.
The Faro Banks Allowed to Reopen.

The various gambling houses of the
city re-opened last night after being
closed for a months time.
There has been a good deal of talk
about the closing of these houses and
charges against the authorities,
which it would not do to publish, but
which the r%e-opening confirms to a de-
gree,
1t is claimed that the object of the
original order driving out the gamblers
was to rid the city of certain hard char
a%cters, and that this object has been ac-
complished.
1t is likely that the war on bawdy
houses will terminate in the same way
before the leaves begin to fall.

Threatened Strike.

CHICAGO, July leone week ago to-
day the rolling mills owned by the North
Chicago Rolling Mill company at South
Chicago shut down for repairs. The
work will be completed next Monday
and ready for the resumption of bust
ness. 1t is stated that at that time the
two thousand men employed there will
strike. They are now paid by the day
at the rate So to $3.50. They will de-
mand that they be paid by the ton, and
it is said that they can certainly earn
from So to 81 a day. A further reason
for the strike is the claim that a portion
of the machinery is in the hands of in
competent men, which adds to the
hazards of their work. Manager Parks
says he made an agreement with the men
January 1st for the entire year, and has
not been informed of the proposed strike.
No other mills will be affected. 1t is
said the proposed strike is sanctioned by
the Amalgamated Association of Iron
and Steel workers.

Des Moines Turn Comes.

Dies MONIES, July 16-Des Moines was
visited by a terrible wind storm last
night that surpassed any thing of the
kind ever witnessed in this city. At no
time has the velocity of wind been so
great. 1t commenced blowing a gale of
20 miles an hour at two o'clock and kept
steadily Undressing until at three o'clock
when it swept over the city at the fright
full speed of forty miles an hour
and for a period of five minutes the
wind registering instrument at signal SER
vice office crowded in miles at the rate of
forty-eight miles an hour. A heavy rain
accompanied the storm, and considerable
damage was done throughout the city.
Chestnut row, a fine row of resi-
dences, was unroofed. The Trestle block
was unroofed as were also several houses
on the east side. Great destruction was
done to shade trees and shrubbery in all
parts of town. No damage to persons
has been reported. No reports have
been received at this hour of the effects
of the storm in the country.
DIES MONIES, July 16.-The storm in
this vicinity, last night, was much more
severe than at first reported. At Mar
shalltown a large Touring mill, which had
just been completed, was completely
wrecke ed and will be a total loss. Mrs.
Galloway, an aged lady, alarmed by the
storm, started down stairs, intending to
go to the cellar; but slipped and fell,
striking on top of her head, and is now
lying in a comatose state, with but little
hopes of recovery. Corn and grain is
badly down. At Newton it is reported
that a large building on the college farm
was blown down. At Chester Centre, a
few miles north of Grinnell, the Con-
gregational church was blown down and
completely wrecked, together with three
dwelling houses, a number of barns, etc.
Corn and wheat were l~evelled to the
ground. The greater part of the dam
age done was to the crops. The storm
seems to have been Widespread, ex-
tending as far as Avoca on the west and
Brooklyn on the east. No lives have
been reported lost, and, aside from those
mentioned, none injured.

BECAUSE HE COULD NOT HELP HIMSELF.
The residents of the valley say that the
White mountain Apaches who were
guides with Crook during the pow-wow
divided ammunition with the hostiles.
The latter told Crook that some of their
men were without horses, and rs soon rs
they could go down into the Mexican
settlements and get their horses
they would follow the general into
the reservation. They did this, killing
several Mexicans i'll their quest of
horses. The valley folks say that the

would never fight them. AS an illustra-
ton of the friendliness between the two,
