The l.Oss of Lffs-vThOughG to Reach Int
 the Hundreds-A Million Dollars Loss

The LOss of Lff9wThOuGhG to Reach Into
 &ho Huudreds-A Million Dollars Loss of
 Property.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-The wires in the vii cinity of Rochester, Minn., were levelled by last nights cyclone, and the reports of what is regarded as the most disastrous storm that has ever visited the Northwest are meagre in the extreme. Every message has to be sent several miles by messenger before an intact wire can be had. The reports of lives lost in a very small district make the number large, but they all vary, all the way from twenty to one hundred. and none of them are likely to be accurate. The report that railroad train was blown bodily from the track is not confirmed in those words, but the train was wrecked and many persons killed and the accident is attributed to the storm. A passenger by the wrecked train who reached St. Paul to day says that thir- tv-five persons were taken from the train to the hospital at Owattonna, all of them seri- ousIy and many fatally injured. He thinks the number of those who were killed out- rjoht must have exceeded twenty. The Mayor of Rochester has sent urgent appeals for assistance, and says that twenty-five per- sons were killed and over forty seriously hurt. Among the dead are John M. Cole, proprietor of the Zumbrota houring mills. At Casson two persons were killed outright by the storm.

Rochester fin Ruins-The People Killed
 by Scores.
 ST. PAUL, Aug. 22.-It is now certain that the total number of dead will exceed one hundred. The last message to Governor Hubbard appealing for aid says that over one-third of the town of Rochester Is in ruins, the destruction being complete. Great trees were torn from their roots, thrown through houses and carried into the air for almost incredible distances. The Mayor says that twenty-five persons were killed in the very heart of the town and left dead in the streets and under the debris. He says that the neighboring country must have suf- fered terrible slaughter. It is reported that the whole district surrounding Roches- ter is in ruins. The situation is terrible In answer to the appeals for aid Governor Hub bard himself started the list with subscrip- tion of $5, 900 and liberal donations were made at once in every direction. The Gov ernor sent word that aid would come without delay and substantial supplies for the survi- vors, especially the injured, have already been forwarded.

LATER-The storm covered the entire dis

It Is be Keyed now that the loss of human life may reach into the hundreds. The limit is only as yet is unknown. The losses are especially heavy about Owattanna and ZHmbrota. The Zumbrota mills were completely destroyed by the hurricane and the proprietor, MT. Cole, was busy about his work when the building fell, killing him and others. The loss in property at Rochester is estimated at over one million dollars. The excitement about the surrounding country is intense, many towns and villages having suffered greatly

is the dying victim of a foul crime perpetra- | ted yesterday. Dresser had recently circum- vented the nefarious operations of gang oi Ohio outlaws presumed to be fugitives from justice. For revenge four of them sprang upon him as he was travelling to Erie, but he put spurs to his horse and escaped. On his way home he was again attacked and fol lowed fer along distance. He out-distanced his pursuers, but was inveigied out Of his house by ruse and stabbed in the chest by each of his four assailants, who have fled and have not yet been captured. Their names are Thomas and William Flesher and William and John Evarts.

 PHILADELPH1A, Aug. 22.-At 4:50 this af- ternoon as the steamer Dauntless of the Philadelphia and Gloucester ferry company was making her return trip to this city and when of Windmill Island the pilot discover ed the steam yacht Emma A. Kline heading directly.across the river in front. of the Dauntlsss. He whistled and signalled the engineer to reverse, but no notice was taken of the warning by the officers of the yacht. The tide was running up and stiff breeze was blowing and before the speed of the ferry boat could be checked she struck the yacht and she sunk immediately. There were on board of the yacht at the time Captain James Rush, Commander Henry F. Hsntz, Engineer Young, George W. Kline, one of the owners, and Thomas Haley and Robert R. Green. Hentz and Young were below deck at the time of the accident and Hentz with great difficulty succeeded in getting up and was picked up by the crew of the Dauntless, but Young could not be found. All the rest were saved. The yacht had left her wharf but few minutes before the accident occurred. Those who witnessed the occurrence lay the blame on those aboard the yacht for their recklessness in not needing the warning given them.

BOSTON, Aug. 22.-Privates 0. W. Hinma n and F. J. Rabbeth of Company D, First in fantry, members of the defeated American rifle team, have arrived in town. In an in terview Private Hinman states that he agrees with the other members of the team that Captain Howard and Adjutant Shakespeare were overbearing in their manner and inju- dicious in their exercise of discipline. Their action caused every member to be dissatisfied and by quiet firmness they soon caused the rules to be relaxed. MT. Hinman intimated that Captain Howard and Adjutant Shakes peare will never command another interna- tional team if those who were in the oEe of 1883 have anything to say about it. As to the habits of the members of the team, MT. Hinman said they had been much exsggera- ted. Those members who actually shot on the team were careful, and although many chose to imbibe beer none did so to an ex- treme. The water at Putney, where the team lodged, was very bad and beer was an excellent and necessary substitute. MT. Hinman was of the opinion that if an Eng lish team came over next year at least DOT ton of the present team should be chosen to oppose them and with ordinary luck the third international military match would be scored victory for America.

1t Won't do in this Country.
[From the Darlington uawkoye.I


The latest fashionable craze in Lon
don is mule riding. 1t will never be-
come popular in America. We haven't
the right kind of mules. The American
mule won't stand any society nonsense.
Nobody would attempt to ape this Eng
lish croze except the dudes, and the
average mule knows so much more than
the dude that he, the mule, would ride
it, the dude. And he, the mule, would
rub its legs, the dudes legs, against the
fence, and when he, the mule, bucked,
1t, the dude, would shoot over his head,
the mules head, that is, and alight on
the place where its brains, the dudes
brains, would be if he had any, SO that
the custom, while atfording the dude
excellent exercise, would not give it
much pasture. Egyptian mules, such
rs the English riders use, may do well
enough for this gayety, but the Amerl-
can mule, whether from Colorado or
Kentucky, is too abrupt in his habits
and spasmodic in his gait to be entrust-
ed with any such fashionable frivolty.

he was gross fellow, short, feshy,
and with bitch in his leg. He had n

with sort of sanctimoniors expression.
He had glib tongue, and insiuuated

have received his attenGors and quar-
relied with each other for bis addresses

passions of n. J.. Dukes, but his love
forever is mine, writes one to another.
His effects are said to be freighted with
tender missives, showing many cor
quests and innumerabla amours. 1t is
q queer phrase of human nature when
the life and vices Of such man are
opened to the world that he could still
find his way into the society of respect

markable case that has made much Of

In the VILLAGE of W lived a man

nm "the biggest rascal in the world. !"

"Wel', you see, Judge, l sold you one
day very nice pine log, and bargained
with you for lot more. Well, that log

the night before, and the next day sold
1t to you. The next night 1 drew it back
home, aud sold it to YOU the next day;

A Wild but Sagacious Mare.


A band of wild mares were sent to
George Neale from Lower California.
They were treated vely roughly on the
road and on erriying at Old Town were
placed in small corral. No vauuero
being in the vicinity, great difficulty was
anticipated to teach the mares to drink
from a pail, and every one predicted that
it could not be accomplished. The adj
vantage OF kind over rough treatment
was shown by the fact that, after one or
two attempts, Mr.. Neale succeeded in
inducing them to drink. One OF the ami
mails, however, seemed determined to
prevent the rest of the band from OBJ
tanning water, and, after showing the rest
of the horses out of the way, deliberate.
ly picked up the pail in her teeth by the
handle and carried it to the other end OF
the corral. This act was applauded by
the spectators.
