A Boating Party Caught.

WHITE BEAR LAKE, Minn., Sept. 10.- A cyclone struck White Bear Lake yesterday afternoon. It swept a track not less than a m1le and half wide. There was the usual funnel-shaped conformation of clouds slight Iy green in color. The sheds of the Duluth railway were demolished and hundreds of trees were blown across the track between White Bear station and Dell Wood. There were people who assert that there had been two storms-one from the southwest and one from the northwest. They met at White Bear and clashed, after which came trouble
 There were three sailing parties on the lake at the time, two of which managed to get to the landing. Bill Stiles, boatman at the Leip House pier, was in charge of the boat which was caught. The sails were reefed and the-boat was headed to the hurricane while every passenger lay down in the hold. The storm, which drove the water twenty five feet in the air, filled the boat, but she did not capsize or sink and the party had a narrow escape. Every boat on the lake went over and several sank at their moorines

DeShtution in Towns Visited by the Relief
Steamer Little Sandy.
Special to the Indianapolis journal,
MADISON, Feb. 1.-THE Little Sandy relief
boat arrived here this morning at 8 o'clock, from
its expedition up the river having distributed
its entire stock of provisions to the destitute,
The boat went up far as Patriot, reaching
there last night A great deal of destitution
and suffering was found along the river, many
families having been wholly without food for
two and three days. Milton and Hodgesville,
two villages just above Madison on the Ken
lucky side, were entirely submerged, and the
people are all living on the hills. Many of the
families were found in a half-starving condition,
and rations for four and FIVE days were distrib-
uted among them. At Brooksburg, Ind, $50
persons were found destitute, and at Vevay the
houses of twenty-five families under water,
small stock of provisions left to supply
their necessities, but there was less suffering
here than at other points, the people being able

Twenty seven families were living in church.
and fifty persons were huddled together in an

was in most distressful condition Only five
houses were above water Thirty persons were
sick, and relief was greatly needed. The entire
stock of supplies was distributed The boat left
Patriot this morning at o'clock and reached
here four hours afterward. Immediately on its
arrival the CITY of Frankfort" started on its
expedition down the river, and will probably
reach Jeffersonville sometime tonight or early

Lawrenceburg will have to be fed for ten day

have disheartened the people Many whc
thought to stay through the flood left today,

away forever.
At Aurora there is no change. No incidents
worthy Of note occurred to day. This thing OF
watching the river to sec whether it is going III
)r down, and wondering where tomorrow's
bread will come from, or what house or bridge
will go next, is getting to be very wearisome.
People endure it with commendable patience.
and while it is so bad they simply hopeit viii
grow no worse. Aurora will get off well if $500,
900 will cover its losses on buildings, factories
and mercantile and manufacturing stocks. The
supply of fuel and food is small but it is replen-
ished daily so as to reduce anxiety and suffering
to the minimum

Secretary of Appraisement Committee
ADecline of Six Feet.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 1.-THE river is receding
at the rate of an inch and half an hour. The
water stood at sixty five feet at II P. NJ. There
was hard rain this forenoon, and the weather is
cloudy and warm, with light rain to night.
Three roustabouts at the risk of their lives
undertook to recover the bodies from the building
at Pearl and Ludlow, which fell on Friday morn
ing They found the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs
Thomas Burke and their two children, two and
four years of age, in bed, evidently drowned
The father and mother each had child in their
arms The men also found the bodies of Mary
E. Golfer James Ogden, and j. w. Kyle. The
reported finding of Burke's body on Friday was
a mistake.
The relief committee Of the Chamber of Com
merce to-day made an appropriation to purchase
a large quantity of rope, to be sent Immediately
up the river on the steamer w B. Cole, to be
used in towing and anchoring building to their
foundations
A most commendable work has been inaugu-
rated by the Grand Army of the Republic, in
furnishing at small expense steam pumps for
emptying cellars and also furnishing stoves and

The large Shield engine, which stopped pump
ing water last Monday, was started again at
half past to night and anxiety about water

Nearly Eight Thousand Destitute People
Five Hundred Houses Swept Away.
PoMERoY, O., Feb, 16.-The relief boat Katie
Stockdale arrived here at p. NJ to-day Her
intention was to go direct to Ironton after leav-
ing Parkersburg this afternoon, but the people of
Belleville, w. Va, called the boat in, and
quantity of provisions given. But six
houses remain in the town, and they are nearly
all wrecked. AS the boat proceeded down the
stream, the broad farming bottoms on each side
were gradually being relieved of water. At Ra-
cine tie head of Pomeroy Bend-twelve miles
long-was entered The bend is narrow with
bottoms on both sides of the river, which con
tain some twenty coal mines eighteen salt
works, twelve towns, 600 inhabitants-of
whom 5000 are laborers. All the mines are
flooded and will not be pumped out for six or
eight months; 5000 people are idle, and 5000
homeless and demanding immediate assistance.
The river in the bend reached sixty-fo
feet has fallen twelve feet and is
going down at the rate of two inches an hour.
On Friday night the water first cleared from the
streets of the town. There are four relief boats
helping the bends destitute from Gallipolis,
which is out of water, and comparatively unin-
iured. Business of every kind remains sus-
pended. The Columbus, Hooking Valley & To
ledo railroad and the Ohio Central penetrating
the bend, are all torn to pieces. Trestles,
bridges and road beds are gone in many places.
1t will be from three to six weeks before commu-
nicatons by rail resumed. There are no
telegraph wires up, and this will have to be sent
to Pomeroy. The steamboats, Jim Montgomery,
Champion. Nora Belle and Chesapeake are dis
tributing supplies. People have doubled up in
uninjured houses and are stored away in
churches, barns and school-houses through the

THE JEANNETTE DEAD.
HOnOrs Paid the Remains of De Long and His
Companions.

New YORK, Feb. 16.-The correspondent of
the Tribune writes as follows from Orenburg,
Russia, under date of Jan. 10; After travelling
almost steadily for nearly month on sleds,
Lieutenant G. B Harber, United States navy,
and Master W. H. Schuetze, arrived here three
days ago with the bodies of De Long and his
comrades on the Jeanette. who died with him
in the Lena delta nearly three years ago Har
Der and Schuetze are now busily engaged in
transferring the bodies from the temporary eof
fins made in Yakutsk to the metallic ones for
warded from New York. This work was begun
in the hospital here yesterday, but it goes on
slowly, and will require several days. Only by
constant watching, and often by doing the work
himself, has Mr.. Harder been able to have the
transfers made properly. The room in which the
work is done is small and the work has often
been interrupted by the many visitors who
have called-offcers doctors, editors, and others.
Upon opening the coffins made in Yakutsk.
Mr.. Harder was gratited to see that notwith-
standing the jolting during the sled journey of
seven thousand versts, the bodies had not
changed the position in which they were placed
when the cofins were closed Before reaching
lrkutsk Lieutenant Harder received q message
from Count Abefeldt to the effect that the City
Council of the capital of Eastern Siberia would
publicly receive the bodies He was therefore
not surprised, as he approached the city, to meet
a number of officers and others, who welcomed
him and escorted the train into Irkutsk. Among
the officers were the mayor. Mr.. Demdotf, mem
bers of the City Council, the president and mem
bers of the Geographical Society of Eastern
Siberia, an aide-de camp representing the Gov
ernor general chief of police, and many others.
The train was taken to the public square, where
the coffins were placed in a catafalque, covered
with eyergreens. Upon the coffns beautiful
wreaths, one in wax, were placed by the Off
cials and citizens. Here an address was made
by a member of the Geographical Society.
Harber and Schuetze remained in Irkutsk four
days, and received many marks of special atten-
ton

This section was chiefly engaged shipping coal
South, and this trade will be stopped for several
months. The following mines are ruinously
flooded: At New Haven l; Hartford City, l.;
Syracuse, 2; Minersville, 2. The tipples of all
the others are down. The mines mentioned are
all large concerns, shipping to the lower river.
There are quite number of small mines not in
cluded in this report that are drowned out Help
of every kind is woefully needed. The outlook
is very dark, as many of the distressed in the
bend are poor people, who have lost everything.
The Standard Nail and Iron Works at Clifton,
w. Va, have been thoroughly soaked, and will
not resume for four weeks, throwing GOO men
out of employment Loss, 10000. To paint
the scenes of destruction the ruined towns, de-
molished buildings, overturned and wrecked

outraged land and homesteads, needs simply this
one word. "Awfull" Let the imagination picture
its worst and it will not paint the hand of the

SPECULATIVE MARKETS.
An Unusually Dull Day in Grain and Pro-
visions at Chicago

CHICAGO, Feb. 16-"A dull Saturday" fully
expresses the condition of affairs on Change to-
day Extreme dullness characterized trade, and
everything on the list virtually closed lower on
the curb tonight than on yesterday, except
wheat, which was 1-Sc higher. This was 3-Sc
lower than the close at / o'clock Wheat opened
strong under heavy covering by shorts and some
alleged outside orders. 1t was again reported
that millers were buying in st. Louis, and the
reported activity of that market really caused
an advance of 1-4c the May option. AS soon
as the shorts had covered and the large operators
began to realize, the market began saggng,
and all the advance was lost.
Corn opened very strong The soft weather
and the small amount of contract corn among
the receipts made at times buoyant market,
and May sold up to 60 5-Sc Then came rumors
of large stocks along the Missouri river, of heavy
1adings at interior points, and with the break in
wheat, and disinclination among small traders
to Sunday over on the long side, the market went
off and closed at59 7-8c on Change, and was weak
at SO 3-4c on the curb"
The provision market was destitute of snap.
The receipts of hogs to-day were only 1000,
and for the week 92 958, against 1913 436 the same
week last year. This caused rather firm feel
ing at the opening, and mess pork advanced

to cover few contracts dealers being indis-
posed to await developments regarding the
future hog supply, many thinking that all the ad-
vance which the present shortage justfes has
already been secured. Lard was dull and al
most neglected, the fluctuations being covered
