Destruction of Rochester, MINI. by CYCLONE.

A terrible cyclone struck Rochester Mimi,
Mt o'clock in the evening of the 2Ist, making
III about ten minutes time a complete wreck of
a large part of the city. The main course of
the storm was through the lower part of the
town, but its force was felt more or less through
the entire city. More than 200 dwellings We're
utterly destroyed and many were considerably
damaged. having their roofs torn off and chin
neys blown down. Hundreds of trees were
torn down or broken off and many of the streets
were rendered almost impossible by the trunks
and limbs which were lying around The
Courthouse was unroofed and the dome carried
away, the high school building had its tower
blown off and roof injured, the Methodist
Church lost its roof and tho Congregational
Church its steeple, while the railroad depot was
unroofed, the round house demolished, and the
bridge ruined. The loss, as near as could be
aseertained, amounted to 100000. The num-
Der OF killed III the city, as far as could be as
certained,was thirty-four, and eighty-two were
injured. The storm also swept through the
towns of Utica and st. Charles in Winona
county, where several casualties occurred.
One of the most awful features of the storm
was the railway accident between Rochester
and Lumberton, Mimi, on the Rochester and
Northern Division of the Chicago and North
western Railroad, by which about 100 persons
were killed or wounded. The train was caught
in a severe wind and hailstorm and while
running at a high rate of speed was lifted
from the rails and converted into mass of
ruins Every car in the train was literally
shattered to pieces by the sudden stoppage,
caused by the train jumping the track, and
many of the unfortunate passengers were buried
beneath the debris
The call for help from the ruined city was
promptly answered and large corps of sur
geons was soon in attendance. Large sums of
money were also raised for the aid of the suffer-
ers. The loss to the crops in the path of the
cyclone is estimated at about 100000, aud
much damage was done to farm property and
live stock.

THE WIRES convey, this morning,
the intelligence of the fail of G. L.
CroWell, president of the Empire
Mining Company, whose property
is at the Park. His defalcation runs
up into the hundreds of thousands,
and his victims include personal
friends, widows and orphans.
CroWell is at the point Of death. The
very best thing he can do is-to pass
the point, and die. It is improba-
bic that he can ever make good his
losses and restore the stolen money
to those he has robbed, and it is al
together impossible that he can
wipe the stain from his name, and
become q trusted man of character
in the world. There should be little
or no sympathy for Crowen; indeed.
there ought to be very little symIa-
thy for any man who steals money
entrusted to his care. But In this
instance there ale special reasons
for censuring the defaulter. He
robbed his friends of large amounts,
and was engaged in a conspiracy to
rob others Of still larger sums.
CroWen is man of more than or
binary intelligence and business ca
pacity, hence he knew, unless he
was wilfully blind, that the only
way in which he could gain money
from the scheme in which he was
engaged was by Cheating" some.
body. He could not have hoped to
get it from the Empire, which every
body understood to be one of those
wildcat mines that are curse to
any mining country. The HERALD,
some years ago, was taken to task
for speaking truthfully of such pre-
tended mines as the Empire, but it
has so happened that in every in
stance this journal has been right
and of course those who found fault
with it were wrong.

Mr.. D'OYLEY CARTE's opinion of
Oscar Wilde ought to be worth
something. He alone is RESPONSE
BILE for inficting the fur-tipped @s-
thetic on the people of America and
luxurious as were the tastes of his
client. Mr.. Carte is too sbrewd a
business manager to have borne
with him long, unless the infiction
paid somewhat handsomely. 1t Isl
therefore, with some surprise that
we see the adroit manager throw
poor Oscar overheard. with not even
the pretence of sympathy. If Oscar
were nonentity in London, why
was he blazoned throughoutAmerica
by Mr.. Carte as genius with a
mission? Why were the American
public invited by every means that
skilled adept in the art of public
ity could command to come and
hear the new gospel of aesthetics
preached by its chief apostle? Was
it all a joke from the first on the
part of the lessee Of the Savoy, or
the proprietor for five years OF
Messrs. Gilbert and Sullivan this
intrusion of the sunfoWer and the
lackadaisical ? tits perhaps too ludi-
cious a subject to grow serious over,
but after all there ought to be d
limit to the forbearance of the
American public. When Madame
Nilsson protested against the
buffoonery of the young adventurer,
her protest was dignity itself, but it
is not becoming on the part of
the gentleman who sent him here,
and who directly and indirectly
profted by the venture, to tell us
thai the parsonage of year ago is a
''nonentity" to-day. Mr.. Carte
would have shown better taste had
he kept silent. The American peo-
pie may not mind being played with
if they are amused by the operation,
but it is scarcely within the limits
even of their generosity to have the
fact boldly announced. Mr.. Barnum
showed greater skill. He had real
lied his fortune before he printed
his autobiography, and he had his
laugh Of the public with him, be-
cause he was independent of its
frown. The exterprising LondOner
has on his own showing Eve years
yet to run.

IT is proposed by bill introduced
in the House to divide up the sur
plus in the national treasury and
pay it over to the states in proper
ton to their population, to be used
in the payment of state debts and
for school purposes. What the
people desire and will have is a re-
duction Of taxation which viii in
the future prevent the recurrence
of any treasury surplus.

NEXT WEEK nearly one hundred
Congressman will have the nortif-
cation or pleasure, as it may seem
to each, of seeing their names writ.
ten with an eek" before each. Many
of these statesmen will be out of
employment, and hunting for some
thing to do, and as the majority of
them are republicans, in all proba-
bility the President will be called
upon to find places for them. The
territories provide ground for dump.
ing a good many played out states
men, and it is not improbable that
several changes may be made in
the federal civil forces in the west
ern dependencies. Perhaps Utah
will be benefited by the defeat of
at the last Congress
sional election. 1t is quite llAin
she cannot be injured much.
