THE storm of Saturday afternoon
was the first of any importance this
spring. The weather for some hours
previous was very sultry, and every
person seemed certain that a storm
WAS sure t. follow, and it did come
with terrific force between four and
five o'clock, resembling a water
spout as much as anything else, ac-
companied by fierce gale Almost
instantly the streets were the bed of
a stream, sweeping every thing be
fore it. Many farmers who were in
town and started for home when
they saw the st. rm approaching,
must had thorough drenching; but
we hear of no severe damage within
close range of here. The vivid
lightning and loud thunder caused
several to quake with fear, which
undoubtedly results from the impress

day--Who the Commissioners Are.
YOUNGSTOWN, o., Feb. 20.-The News-
Register tomorrow will say of Judge L. D.
Thomas, this day nominated by the presi-
dent on the civil service commission: He
was born in Salem, Columbiana county,
O., in 1851. In 1862 he moved with his
parents to Whitley county, Indiana, and
engaged in teaching school for three years
at PEPPER City, Ill. He was admitted to
the bar in 1871 at Colum-
bia city, Ind. In 1873
he was appointed deputy prosecutor of
the Ninth judicial district of Indiana. He
began the practice of law in Youngstown
in 1878. He was elected probate judge of
this county in 1875, and reelected in 1873.
He was nominated by the Democrats for
congress against the Hon. VIM. Mckinley
in 1880, and defeated. He received the
solid support of the Democrats of north
eastern Ohio for the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor in 1881, although not a
candidate. He is now practicing law here,
is an eloquent orator, and is hard worker
in the interests of the Democratic party.
For a man of his years, he has shown
wonderful ability as a jurist. His nomi-
nation is hailed with delight by Democrats

will compare favorably in all respects
with any other railroad line or system in
the country. 1t has now solid, balanced
roadbed, with all steel rail throughout the
entire length of the main line, the grades
and curves being reduced to a minimum
rs rapidly as possible. The stations are
we'll ordered and in good condition, the
equipment well up and the whole manage
ment prudent and economical, at the same
time that it is enterprising and progress
sive. Of the fidelity and zeal of officers,
each one of whom seems to have personal
pride in its successful and prosperous
operation, too much cannot be said, nor
can we omit in this place personal refer
ence to its chief executive officer and the
great service he has rendered the company
and government. believer in the sue
cess of the road from the outset, and one
of its founders, he has steadily main
tanned his faith in it, invested his capital
in 1t, and for seventeen years given it
almost his entire time and the best of his
abilities. For only two of those years has
he received any compensation for his ser
vices. If we have ever differed with him
concerning any detail of policy or man
agement, we have never doubted his sim
cerity of purpose or his earnest devotion
to the best interests of the road.
The government directors thus conclude
their report: ''With continuance of the
present management, which we have not
hesitated to criticize in those particulars
wherein we deemed it deserved criticism,
we believe it has before it a career so pros
porous and successful as to leave 10 doubt
whatever of its ability to eventually
pay in full its obligations
to the government. Whatever other
routes to the Pacific coast may be opened,
this must remain the most direct line. 1t
is, and must continue to be, the great cen
tral route, with obvious advantages over
any other lying north or south of it. Its
system of feeders, by which it has develop
ed, and is continually developing resour
4hrougb which it passes, brings to it.
each year legitimate increase of business.
That of itself is sufficient to put it beyond
the power of com peting through lines to
do it serious injury. Even if it had not the
great and positive advantages over any
possible competitor for through traffic,
the natural growth of local business
through the IA pid increase of population
in the states and territories
tapped by its collateral
branches, would be sufficient to
insure its profitable operation, with hand
some returns on the capital represented.
