THERE are no s. ate officers to he nom-
mated or elected in Virginia this year,
but the Democrats will hold conven
tion, as the straightout Republicans
have already had a gathering, to Or
ganize for the campaign and it is said
that they will, very sensibly, confine
themselves to state issues. This is good
policy. Their present concern is with
their own state and to reclaim it from a
handful of Adventures who, with the
aid of the negro vote, have seized upon
it to run it and plunder it. The last
elections made it evident that Malone
cannot long maintain his hold even
upon the tickle colored vote. It has
begun to show signs of disintegration
and revolt, and to keep it compact, negro

women, are to be imported to work

only reveal waveriDg cause but are
in themselves calculated to make its

WESTERN STOkMS.
In formation Withheld by tho Telegraph
Interruption.

There is report of great storm in tn
valley of the Mississippi. 1t is said tt
have cut off all communication with st
Louis, and the Western Union is returning
messages filed for the city. 1t is alst
rumOred that the Mississippi is rapidly
rising, and that great destruction to pro
perty is anticipated.
Further particulars of the cyclone ir
Minnesota relate great disaster. At Elgir
in one minute there was scarcely anything
left of what was previously a prosperous
village of $50 Inhabitants. Every business
building in town is demolished or un
rooted. One estimable lady was killed
and several persons injured.
Great destruction ensued betweed Mr.
Kasson's place and Dodge Centre. Kas
sons house was DESTROYED and four mem
bers of his family badly injured. Al
Meriden church and blacksmith shoI
were levelled to the ground, and all along
the railroad could be seen the wrecks ol
buildings that had been blown down,
houses, stables, sheds and other outbuild
ings.
1t is impossible to calculate the width
of the storm, but it was seemingly about
five miles wide, and through the eastern
part, along the course of the Zumbro river
at Meredith, -four mill was unrOOfed and
some barns injured. A blacksmith's shop
was blown down. Mrs. Evans house was
blown down, with children in it, but none
of them were injured. One, however, was
found in wheat field some distance from
the house.
At Owatonna all the building in the
state fair grounds, which were being fitted
up for the approaching exhibition, were
blown down. A number of persons were
in the main building at the time and some
were seriously injured. Mr.. w. H. Gran
dali, postmaster, was cut across the chest
and lungs very badly by falling timbers,
and there are fears that he will not recover.
The Methodist church, the largest in the
city, was moved from its foundation and
badly damaged. Reports coming in from
the country state that many of the largest
and best farmhouses in. the country have
been unroofed or blown down.
News received from Dakota shows that
the oyclone also visited that territory with
fatal effect. Mrs. GeisseDger, the mother
of five little children, was killed near Red
field, D. T., and Mrs. Bowles met q like
fate near Huron, D. T.
Altogether nine persons are known to be
killed and at least fifty injured, several. it
is feared, fatally. The loss of property in
Dodge county alone will amount to hun.
dreds of thousands.

Taken Into camp BY tho Harr,sourss to the
ruDe 26 to Allow tho Defsss
Was accomplished.
Every club has its off day, and the
IroDsides surely had theirs yesterday,
when they allowed the Harrisburg profess
siO0al team to down them by the score of
26 to 4. 1t soon became apparent after
the game had been started that the homo
nine were greatly Overmatched. They
were suffering from the makeup of the
club. BY the first arrangement, Schiller
was TO have played first base. He failed
to arrive and Kelly took his place. The
men on tho other bases had then to be
changed, and Miles, who had not intended
to play, dOnned his uniform and took
second, with Sweitzer on third. In the
first inning the home club had hard luck,
allowing the visitors . run on passed
ball at second base, and after that the latter
crawled up until they had made the mOu-
strous score above. They batted very
heavily, and it seemed impossible for the
home club to field them in time. The
cOstliest kind Of errors were made at the
most critical points of the game, and the
majority of tho ruus were made 10 that
way.
The first run for the home team was
scored by PETER in the second inning after
good hit. Ia the fourth Miles scored on
an overthrow to first and lost ball, and
in the sixth inning got IN another on a
good hit and the visitors errors. Kelly
succeeded in securing the only other run
made, in the fifth inning. Burns pitched
for the Harrisburg team. He is a wild
sort of player and very few men struck
out. McClOskey backed him in excellent
style. The other members of the nine
played q fine game under the captaincy OF
Big John ShetzliDe, who plays second base
and almost every other position in the
club The nine are fine base runners aud
much of their success depends upon tina,
work. The fielding was good, but several
costly and ugly errors were made.
Of the home nine PETER played we'll in
centre field, taking no less than four flies,
one of which was very hot. King got all
within his reach. Zecher took very hot
ball from the bat of McClOskey, and the
one handed stop by Miles Of Kelly's bal
in the last inning was feature of the
game. Kelly played first base we'll and
although Sweitzer had number of errors
on third he was suffering from very sore
hand. HOfford had almost as many mel
strike out as the professional pitcher and
Sixsmith backed him we'll.
Although the defeat is bad one the
people should take into consideration that
the Harrisburg team has been playing the
finest kind of ball this season. They
now stand at the head of the inter state
association and play ball every day
Their captain has played in the finest clubs

Hints for the Auditors.

H10l6 l0f the A0OltOfS.
There is good sized scandal out in
Pittsburgh over the prosecution of the
clerk of the court for his failure to &C
count for the receipts of fines and costs
imposed upon defendants in liquor and
other cases. It is alleged that in the
June term of 81 Judge Stowe fined over
one thousand saloon keepers SIS each !;
that would make $4,000. Then the
clerk assessed-or should have assessed
them SIS for costs; that would make
$4,000 more. At the September term
they were fined again for violating the
law during the two months in which
they could get no license, that time
$50 each, making $50, 600 more, and with
the costs running up to $50, 600, a grand
total of sl5O, 900, whereas the clerk only
returns some $4,000. 1t is not believed
that any considerable portion of the
deficiency was actually collected and
officially embezzled, but that there has
been gross contempt of court in the
failure to enforce its orders and favor
itism to political or other friends in
giving them exemption from their pen.
altles.
As the records show the fines and
costs to have become due, the disclosure
that they have not been paid puts the
authorities and their delinquent friends
in q split stick. If the latter testify
that they paid up, the officials must &C.
count for the money; if they were not
compelled to pay. the officials must an.
swer for contempt and neglect of duty.
The Investigations in progress at
Pittsburgh are suggestive to our county
auditors of what they should do. There
has long been a mystery as to what re-
suits from the costs and fines frequently
imposed by the court and paid by the
defendants in the criminal cases. Ithas
not always happened in this county that
they found their way into the county
treasury. We trust that such neglect
or something wOrse-nO longer prevails.
But it will he an easy matter for the
auditors to ascertain. Let them call for
the record of all such fines and costs and
then inquire how many of them were
paid, and if all the money which ought
to have been received from that source
has found its way into the county treas
ury if not, why not.
And, by the way, there is some public
curiosity as to what has become of the
suits of the county against the officials
surcharged by the auditors last year.
The illegal and unjustifiable payments,
by majority of the old board of COM
missiOners, of large sums of money for
improper purposes led to an auditors re-
port adverse to some of such items and
suits of record were instituted by the
appeals made against the surcharges'

THE utter fOOlishness of pOstpOning
the disposal of fortunes until after death
receives fresh illustration in the scanda]
arising over the parting of the raiment
of the late General SkObeleff. During
his lifetime he gave largely in charity
and it was known that under the terms
of his will, the bulk of his estate, esti
mated at 81, 25O, 900 sterling, was devoted
to charitable objects. This will mys.
teriously disappeared and the estate was
distributed according to the intestate
laws of Russia, his relatives taking
no notice whatever of the letter
which Skobel-ff wrote from Geek
Tepe to a friend at St. Petersburg, in
1881, disposing of the prop,rty in the
event of his death during the siege.
Among the objects Of his bounty were
two Turkish boys whom he had picked
up on Bulgarian battlefield, and sent
to school at Moscow to be reared at his
expense. The proprietor of the school
finding that no money was forthcoming
for the late generals charges, turned
them into the streets, where they were
picked up in half-starved condition,
and their pitiable situation made known
to the public. Naturally a great deal of
righteous Indignation is felt over the
conduct of the covetous relations, who
received well.deserved snubbing a few
days ago at the anniversary services over
the dead general.
