WASHINGTON CITY, April 29-Samuel
Woods, of Syracuse, formerly assistant
United States district attorney for the west
ern district of Pennsylvania, testi-
fled before the Springer committee
that he had never read law; was
not supposed to be alawyer when appointed
assistant attorney; was assigned to
duty at Bradford, Pa, where there
were many violations of the ternal revenue
laws. The keepers of houses of bad drepute there
sold tobacco, cigars and liquors, without
licenses. After they had violated the laws
three or four years they were allowed to pay
up taxes and penalties AMI thereby escape
prosecutions.
Astonishment was expressed by members
of the committee that licenses were issued te
persons of that character when the characters
were known to the collector, and more aston
ishment at the failure of the officers to prose
cute them for violations of the law.

stopped before the entire village was burned

DAYTON, Ohio, April 90 Another very
destructive cyclone visited this section be-
tween and 6 o'clock Sunday afternoon
almost in the wake of the recent tornado
near Ridgeville. Fortunately, as before, the
city escaped damage, though the force of the
wind was felt, and rain and hail fell heavily,
Hailstones as large as walnuts were picked
up near Shakertown.
As nearly as can be ascertained the fury of
the cyclone did not reach within ten miles
south of this city, and in the neighborhood
of Miamisburg, Carrolton, Franklin, Wood
ford, Ridgeviile, Xenia, jamestown, Wash
irgtnn Court House, and other points, the
damage was appalling.
The cyclone was first observed in the vicin-
ity of Carrolton and Woodford, where it
! seems to have begun Dayton parties who
We're in the neighborhood at the time state
that the panic among the inhabitants was in
| itself alarming.
| One reliable eyewitness says that he OBJ
| served one cloud coming from the northwest
and another from the south. At point near
| Woodford they moved into a vast whirlng
| cloud as light as smoke, which descended to
the earth and rose i'll undulation like q
whirlwind From Woodford and Carrolton
| the course of the cyclone was easterly, and
| reports from Greene county show that the
violence was not spent in the east when il
reached that section.
As yet no loss OF life is reported from this
county, but there are certainly many people
| who have been more or less seriously in
jured, but it is impossible to learn names OF
details, owing to the fact that telegraph and
telephone wires are generally down.
The town of Alexandria, six miles south oi
here is badly damaged, and one lady there
is thought to be killed. A family
took refuge in a shed, and one chill
was carried 500 yards but not badly
injured. Saw-mills, barns, and smalle
buildings were destroyed. while further soutl
the destruction to property was more gen
eral, and it is estimated that at least 40
farm residences, to say nothing of out-build
ings, are completely ruined.
1t is difficult to assume what the loss O
life will be. In the vicinity of Woodbun
Edward Whitly loses residence, barn, ant
other buildings, besides vehicles wort
$1,000.

MADRID, April % Intelligence has been
received here Of a frightful accident result
ing in the loss of 100 lives and perhaps more,
which occurred at Alcudia, a town of
1000 inhabitants, on the island Of
Majorca. A bridge spanning the river
which connects Alcudia with the city of
Palma, of which it is a suburb, gave way at
the moment that railway train, consisting
of four passenger coaches and two baggage
cars was passing. The engine and entire
train, with all its contents, were plunged
into the river The engine and two of the
cars were wedged beneath the bridge, which
by some unaccountable accident fell upon it.
The coupling of the third passenger-car
broke during the fall and the car itself fell
on the top of the wreck From it thirty per
sons were rescued, all of them injured, some
mortally and others seriously. All the pas
sengers in the other two cars met horrible
death by drowning or were killed by the fall
before the water had time to penetrate the
coaches. Particulars are meagre but they
agree that there were not less than 100 peo
pie in the two coaches and that of these not
one escaped. OF this number sixty were sol
diers and forty civilians The bodies of
| forty-tive of the victims have been recov-
cred The disaster is not thought to have
been by accident, but by design. The crime
| is laid at the door of band Of Republicans,
who, it is claimed, were ordered to commit
the wholesale butchery for political reasons.
The railroad wires crossing the bridge We're
| cut. which goes to confirm the suspicion. The
destruction of the telegraph prevents the re-
ceipt of fuller particulars. The island of
Majorca, of which Alcudiai is one of the
most considerable villages, is the largest of
the Balearic group in the Mediterranean be-
longing to Spain. 1t has an area of 1,42O
square miles, and population of over 200,-
600 Palma, of which Alcudia is the adjunct,
has population of S., 900.
