PIrTsBURe, Pa, June 1s.-Shortly az
ter O'Clock this section was visited by
one of the heaviest rain and hail storms
ever known in this city. Hail came
down as large as eggs and rain fell in
torrents, filing the streets and cellars.
No damage more severe than breaking
lights is reported. However, outside the
city the storm partook of the nature of a
cyclone.
Specials to the Dispatch and CONNER
cial Gazette state that through Washing
ton and other southwestern counties
houses and barns were unroofed, trees
uproOted and cattle killed. The damages
to railroads from washouts and land
slides and to telegraph wires is also
great, but so tar no loss of life IS re-
ported. The storm did not last an hour
and was from the southwest. Specials

The numerous friends OF the Chicago
Rock Island s. Pacific railroad in this
section will be glad to learn that this
popular route between Kansas City and
Chicago has made another move for
ward for the comfort of its patrons.
This consists In adding number of new
chair cars, which are really elegant and
luxurious. These cars are named afseE
Americas greatest singers: The older
cars are the Abbott, Cary and Kellogg,
and the new oues Christine Nilsson, Pat
ii and Minnie Hauk. The Nilsson was
visited by the Headlight of the Kansas
City Journal, in company with Mr.. John
Sebastian, the efficient aide to General
Passenger and Ticket Agent st. John, to
whose persistent efEors the the public are
indebted for the new improvements. The
Nilsson is finished in light woods, pleas
sntly relieved with ebony trimmings
The painting and decorations are atteac-
tive and the blending of the light colors
gives the interior pleasant and cheer
full appearance. At one end Is 9 laYatory,
stoYe room and linen closet The stove
is Searles' patent, which empires the
ashes outside the car and will not set
fire to the car in case OF accident. At
the other end isa smoking compartment,
upholstered in leather and very bright
and roomy. The reclining chairs are
the Hartley patent and very comfortable.
The head rest can be adjusted TO 8 mum
Der of positions and the chairs revolYed
entirely, making the car very pleasant
for parties and families. The floor Is
carpeted with tqe s1Fssst of Brussels
and foot stools are furnished for every
chair. Altogether the coach is the pref
test Of its kind. The work was all
done At the Rock Island shops and
equals the Pullman work.

WILCOX 4. T., June 16.-Gen. Crooks
staff rrsched here early this morning.
Col Biddle and Lieutenant Forsyt Ia viii
arrive here 20 morrow with the Mexican
women rescued from the Apaehes. The
WUnien sill proceed 10 Tucson. Knew
ing the general interest in the recent
campnign, your correspondent inter-
viewed Gen. Crook and these with him
and is ia Z position 70 set at rest MANY
absurd reports published by sensational
writer's. The war department did not
prohibit General Crook crossing
into Mexico. What Il did was 10
caution him 20 adhere closely 20
Che terms of the treaty IN any crossing
of the line he might have made. No
obstacles were thrown IN Crooks way
by The Mexican authorities On the
contrary, Crook speaks IN the waTmest
terms of Gen. ScarpO, Jopef, Governor
Torres and sll other officers he met IN
Sonora They received him in . most
hospitable and kind manner and as
sured him that IL the trails were followed
into Mexico they would cooperate most
heartily in the matter The governor
of chihuahua. Mayor Zeubrian, OF Chi
huahua, and others were very anxious
TO put an end 70 the Chihuahua trouble.
When the troops reached the Mexican
towns Of Bavaza, Baaarae. HuachianrIa
and San Miguel, the Inhabitants came
out en- masse and gave them most cor
dial welcome. Guides were offered to
show the nearest paths to the mountains
IN Northwestern Sonora. Although the
climate Is equable and produces every
thing necessary, the people living there
are very much discouraged, having been
robbed for years by the savages. The
troops marched rapidly from San Ber-
nadine, night as well as day. The dress
and appearance of the officers speak
forcibly of the character of the trip. |
Capt Crawford, with Indian scouts and |
four companies of cavalry, marching
with the Chiricahuss north TO the |
agency.
Gen. Crook says in regard 10 the dis |
position to be made OF the surrendered |
hosiiics, many of the male Indians,
when upon the reservation, are OF great
eF consequence than the people imRg-
inc. If they can be put upon the San
Carlos, where live thousands OF suspi-
cious men. they will constantly watch
them, the danger of another outbreak
will be less than IL they were allowed
by themselves, when in
IdIeDess they might hatch out mischief
and deviItry An axiom that it costs
less TO feed the Indians than to light
them Is incontrovertibie. Another AK
i0m is that we must fight all Indians
we swindle; If they can't get corn they
vii get cartridges.

GALLATIN, Mo-, June 10.-The cases
against Frank James. for murder in
connection with the Gallatin bank rob.
berry, fourteen years ago, and the Win
ston train robbery IN 1881, were called
up to day, and upon application of the
defense, continued until August 20.
The defense asked continuance on the
ground that their witnesses might not
be able to arrive on account Of the inter-
ruption to travel by washouts. The
states counsel was present, with Mrs.
Sara Hite and three other witnesses
from Tennessee, whose presence was
evidently surprise 70 the defence.
Mrs. Hite was prepared to testify to q
conversation among the James boys and
others at her house, duplicating them.
Dick Liddel is also here for the prose-
cution. The plea OF the defense ia the
continuance is looked upon simply as
an excuse. The prisoner seems In ordi-
nary health. An unusually large crowd
was present, eager TO get near view of
him.

II is said by those OF phtlos-
optical tendencies ih4t evil

II thIs Is true IL is TO be hoped that the
aood-tide Of marital looseDess Is about

feel that the frequency and ease with
which divorces are obtained is . ma

ing on the condition of France, when,
one hundred years ago. her laws
allowed divorces by mutual consent Of
the man and wife. or by the proof,
simply, Of incompatibiliiy Of temper.
One Of the good things in the CathoIIc
comfy Is the sAcredness with which that
church has always regarded the mar.
rAige contract. and the safeguards she
has always thrown arOund the

virtue among the intelligent adherents
Of that faith than among any other class
of our people.
Il is easier, IS IL always the case with
such questions. 70 point out the evil than
the remedy, but We are Of opinion that
the chief cause Of 50 many divorces
must lie in the loose and careless man
ner In which marriages are contracted,
too often from selfish or improper mo-
tives. There is some hope that from the
present divorce mania which is sweeping
over the country there may come q reflex
influence which shall check the evil d.

gard for the sacFedness of marriage. II

concern they have been patronizing
rather literally. We haYe for some
time been privately warning our farm
ers against this concern. and advising
them to wait until they heard further in

soundness. We quote what the Times
says: "The attorney general has insti-
tuted proceedings in the supreme court
against the Vigilant insurance company
OF Nimrod, Lincoln county, Kansas, to
show cause why they should not do bus

A WORD IN SEASON.

The Clay Center Dispatch recently re.
marked that the business men Of thai
place. 'men who don't go much on pro
hibition,' are about tired of the reckless
and devillsh manner in which the pro-
hibiLion law is being violated here"
And the Troy Chief OF Thursday last
g paper nobody will accuse Of being q
prohibition organ-rises to remark that
the saloon keepers hsd "beiter look q
little out" It says:
"SeveEaI saloon keepers were arrested
and fined on Monday, for selling liquor
on Sunday. We have been expecting
trouble 10 commence for some time.
The people Of Troy generally were not
disposed to bother the saloons as long
as they endeayored TO keep in some sort
OF bounds; but there Is such q thing as
wearing out the forbearance of the peo-
pie. It seems TO US that the saloon
keepers would have appreciated the len
ieucy OF the public, bV earnest efforts to
keep within the bounds of prOpriety
and order; but il appears that immun-
ity only makes them bold, and they set
to work TO defy public sentiment, favor
able as Il is TO them. They have been
selling to habitual drunkards, when
they knew IL was causing great trouble,
and After they had been notified not TO
do il, and now comes the charge ofsell-
ing on Sunday. If they don't know

Abrupt Termination OF . wedding Ger
emOny at Albuquerque, y. n.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, June 14.-SO
ciely people of Albuquerque were en-
veloped in amazement last night when
the news was rapidly spread through
the city of sensation attending the ar
ranged wedding at the residence of
Mr.. Edward Powell. The lady is
a niece Of Mrs Powell,
and one of the brightest and
most charming young ladies ever intro
duced into Albuquerque society. Mr.
Stivers, the bridegroom, is q wealthy
cattle grower, the owner of an extensive
ranch 10 Alamosa, in the western part of
Valencia county, who figured before the
public some months ago in the war with
the sheep men. Everything was
arranged for the wedding. The wine
and at the appointed hour Rev. Mr..
KIstler put in an appearance. No cards
had been isued for the wedding, but
there were present quite number of
prominent ladies and gents, immediate
friends of the family. The lady and gen.
tleman soon TO be made man and vito
were attiEed to suit the occasion, and
stood up before the minister of the Cos
pei TO pronounce the solemn VOWS. "Will
you take this woman for your lawful
wife ?" asked Rev. Mr. Kistler. at win, %
responded the bridegroom elect. "Will
you take this man for your lawful hus-
band ~ continued the minister. my
God, can't. can'tH' was the pitiful
response of the young lady, who, burst
ing into tears, rushed into an adjoining
apartment. Ladies' went to her assist
ance and advised with her, and the re
jected bridegroom tried to persuade her
to change her determination and become
his wife. It was to no avail. The
young lady would not change her
mind. Miss Smedley had received at
tentions from Mr.. Stivers since last win
ter. They engaged to marry some
months ago, but since then the young
lady has entertained grave doubts as TO
their compatibility of temperament, but
looking on her engagement as irrevoca-
BILE, allowed matters to proceed even to
the ceremony, when she found 1t impos.
sible to pronounce the words that would
make her the life partner of man
whom she evidently did not love.

Globe Democrat: A commission adj
vocates closing certain Of the navy yards.
This is clear again. The idea prevails
in some quarters that the existing yards
are every one of them bulwarks of ma
tional indepenence. When it comes TO
naming the yards to be dismantled
however. there is q chorus of indignant
protests. The most ridiculous asylum
for rotten hulks on the seaboard is that
ct New London, Connecticut But q
Hartford paper. with characteristic Con-
necsicut conceit, whines that "the gen.
tlemen have greatly erred; New London
IL the place for navy yard" In New
Hampshire they think to abandon the
Portsmouth establishment would be to
s'erF;" in Massachusetts that at Boston !;
In Pennsylvania that at Philadelphia,
and 80 on. The most noticeable error,
save In the direction of retaining too
many of these membranes, is the rec
ommsndAtion to discontinue the yard at
Pensacola, which would leave the entire
Gulf coast, from Key West to Browns
VILE. without naval repair shop.
