The MIN n esOta cyclone.

RocH ESTER, Mimi, Aug A.-The
streets of the city to-day are full OF
people t on all over the State, some
from curiosity aud some to care for
friends, while large number of promi-
nent men from all portions Of the
State, who come to see the effect of the
cyclone that they may know its extent
and the needs Of its victims. On every
side can be heard accounts Of some
new freak or horrcr of the monster till
the heart eickcns at their relation. The
reports fro " the hospital are to the
effect that tti children are much i'm
proved, while some Of the adults are
worse and cannot live.
The reported list of the killed has
been exaggerated through the confu-
sion of names. Careful inquiry shows
that sixteen comprises all of those
instantly killed. The reason assigned
by the city undertakers for the error
is that four were said to have been
taken into the country by their friends,
which is not true, and the names OF
four other victims we're incorrectly
given, and thus aided to swell the sup
positions list. One thousand men,
women and children of the class that
possess hardly anything outside of their
homes and what there is In them are to-
day without anything. Of two hun
dred houses which We're standing be-
fore the approach of the storm there is
not sufficient material to build an ordi-
nary frame shelter. All the household
furniture and clothing were also COM
pletely destroyed. The people are poor
and III ust be cared for. AT present they
are lodged in private houses, empty
stores, warehouses and halls, and are
being fed by tn city.

Some three or four weeks ago Mrs.
Brainard had a warrant issued for the
arrest of her husband, John +. Brain
ard, on a charge of assault and battery
When the case was called bef,re Judge
Cummins Mrs. Brainard did not appear,
and an attachment was issued for her
and placed in officer Simmons hands.
He brought her to the courtroom the
next day, and while the officer was
down stairs she went outside with her
husband and that was the last of her
until yesterday, when she was brought
in by constable Wier.
She stated that she was induced to
leave the city by her husrand, who told
her that he would settle the case, and
with this explanation the charge OF con-
tempt against her was dismissed.
This morning John Brainarh was
brought in by the Constable and plead
guilty to the charge of assault and bat
terry, but denied that he had persuaded
his wife to leave the city.
The Judge heard the evidence of the
woman, and then sentenced him to pay
a fine of $40 and costs.

The Other side.

Mr.. Fountain, proprietor Of the FOun.
tain House on French street above
Eighth, called at the REPUBLICAN Of.
nee this morning and said that state
ment furnished reporter concerning
his house was untrue, and instigated by
Jealousy and malice, and at his invita-
tion the house was visited and inspected
all through. Mr.. Fountain exhausted
his means In putting up the new
building, ard not wishing to contract n
debt for furniture, rented eight rooms
to widow lady, with the understand.
ing that she would furnish them and
entertain any one who wished accom-.
mOdatiOns.
There are fve bed rooms, one Of
which the lady retains for herself and
child, and all are furnished in a very
nice manner. The other four rooms are
open to any respectable persons who are
willing to pay her established rates.-
One night this week these rooms were
occupied by eight men, two In each
room, who paid 80 cents apiece for their
lodging, and 81 cents for breakfast.
On the second floor is n nicely furnish
ed room that is used for such of Mrs
Fountains customers a. desire greater
privacy than IL afforded in the public
bar.room. Back OF this is Mr.. Foun-
tains private room where he generally
sleeps, but takes his meals at q house
two or three doors below, where he has
boarded for years.
Mr.. Fountain states that he does not
permit card playing, even for drinks,
on the premises, and that he eDdeavors
as far as possible to keep an orderly and
respectable house. Everything about
the place this morning bore the appear
ance of a respectable, tirst-class estab
lishment, and the rooms are furnished
in . much better manner than many in
the large hotels.
He said that he did refuse to rent the
basement to a party for next Sunday,
as he promised the woman who cccu-
pies the house that she could have 1t to |
sell melons, and another reason was
that he was afraid If he rented it, the
parties would sell liquor, as he had
several offers to rent his bar. room at a
high price for that day. There is no
liquor sold in the place on Sunday, and
Mr.. Fountain says that the bar-room, or
basement could not be had for that pur-
pose to morrow at any price.
The lady who rents the hOuse says
that during the conference several
wanted to board there, on condition
that for each two who paid their board
she would accommodate one free of
charge, which offer she, the same as
an hotel keeper would have done, de-
clined. The whole house with the eX-
ception of the bar-room will he open to-
to furnish meals for all who
are willing to pay for them, and If ten
or dozen persons wish to remain over
night they will find excellent accom-
nodarions at about the same rates ~
are charged in other hotels.
