PITTsBURG AND VICINITY.
Several Buildings Demolished and Twenty
One PerSDns Seriously Injured.

One PeF5Dns Seriously Injured.
PITTsBURG, april 2.-By the cyclone which
passed over the Monongahela valley this morn
ing property was damaged several thousand
dollars and twentyone persons injured, four
probably fatally. The Sun was shining bright at
half past 8. A few minutes later the sky
became overcast, hail commenced falling and
there were vivid flashes of lightning and loud
peals of thunder. A terrific gale followed, which
leveled fences, wrenched signs from fastenings
and demolished, several houses. On Twenty
eighth street frame house was completely de-
molished, and on White avenue the roof of the
residence of VIM. Rosenberg was
blown off and brick partition over
thrown burying Mrs. Rosenberg, Fanny Skaul-
kin and baby, and iniurlng them so severely
that it is doubtful if they can recover large
sign, blown from building on Fifth avenue,
struck boy named Port Seell and slightly in
iured him. Several other persons were hit by
flying debris but none seriously hurt The
most serious damage in the city was done to
Oliver & Robertss wire MILL on the South
Side, which was completely wrecked The
building was 200 feet square, and almost en-
tirelv of iron construction. 1t had not yet
been placed under roof. About one hundred
men were engaged inside, putting in engines,
when the storm rent the building in twain.
The heavy iron grders fell with crash, and the
men scattered pell nell, seeking places of safety.
All but six escaped uninjured and only of
these, VIM. Lacy, is seriously hurt He was
caught and crushed down by an iron pillar, and
can hardly recover. The storm continued its
course along the south side of the Mononga-
hela river sweeping small out houses and fences
from its path until the homestead of Penn
was reached, when it seemed to gather
new force. A frame house owned by Evan
Jones was blown down and six men working
the building more or less injured. A carpenter
shop and shoe-shOp adjoining were crushed by
falling timbers and two cobblers hurt slightly
In another part of town frame house owned by
John Randolph was lifted from its foundation
and carried some distance, but, miraculously as
it may seem. the family escaped uninjured The
dwelling Of Mrs. Eccles was now struck by the
gale and badly damaged and the storm passed
up the valley, but so far no other damage is re-
ported.
At Homestead, eight miles from the city, on
the Pittsburg, Virginia & Charleston railroad,
frame house in the course of erection, belong
ing to Patrick O'Neil, was demolished and six
men at work injured, one of them, Robert Ir
win, very seriously. The carpenter shop ad-
joining was crushed by falling timbers. Five
men barely escaped with their lives. The house
owned by John Randolph, the hillside was
also wrecked. Nobody was hurt Damage sew
eral thousand dollars.
A special from Petrolia, Pa, reports great
damage from the storm which passed over that
town about 1890 o'clock.

BUYING UP BLACK WALNUT.
What English Capitalists Are Doing in Ohio,
Indiana and Iowa.

BUFFALO, n. Y, April Unusual quantities
of black walnut lumber have been passing east
from points in Ohio Indiana and Iowa for some
weeks past. The shipments have attracted at
tention among lumber dealers, and it is learned
that company of English capitalists, with
whom a wealthy combination in indianapolis is
cooperating, lave been for a year and more
quietly getting possession of all the black walnut
timber it has been possible to buy and are now
shipping it to England The writer's informant,
who was buyer for those parties, says that the
traveller on the railroads through the walnut
belts will see at nearly every important station
portable steam saw-mills at work early and late
ripping up black walnut logs into planks of a
convenient size for shipment.
The company has had buyers out all through
the States mentioned gathering up walnut trees
wherever they could be found In many cases
the farmers have disposed of their trees at prices
far below their value, and it has only been re-
Gently that they have become aware of the
scheme that is to take out of the country the
most of the remaining black walnut timber in it.
The consequence is that all the walnut the com
pany now buy costs them double the price they
were paying few months ago.
eff the original forests of Ohio and Indiana
were now standing" says the gentleman referred
to, their valuation would be many times more
than it is to-day under Improvement In making
their farms the settlers in these States destroyed
millions and millions of dollars worth of black
walnut, and the destruction ceased not more
than twenty years ago In searching for timber
visited more than one farm where miles of fence
were laid with walnut rails, and the fences are
not old ones at that This was in Bartholomew
county, Ind, which, with Jennings county, con
tains about all the walnut forests that are left
in that State. One old farmer told me that he
worked almost necessarily for eight years to
clear away the walnut trees on his farm, and
that he burned up more than eighty acres of the
finest kind of timber His farm, after thirty
years of cultivation, could not be sold for more
than So, 000 If it had its walnut trees back it
would be worth more than 100000 This farm
was old settler in the State, and only one
among hundreds of others who for more than
fifty years girdled and cut and burned the great
forests they found occupying the land. The En-
glish company will send to England probably
So, 600, 900 worth of walnut that they have pur-
chased from the farmers at almost nominal
prices

The Sargent Resolution.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Representative Fin
ertys resolution of thanks to Minister Sargent
will come up for consideration in the House for
egn affairs committee tomorrow. AS yet
members of the committee have paid no atten-
tion whatever to the subject Governor Curtin,
chairman of the committee, said to-day that
while he desired to give Minister Sargent all the
credit to which he is entitled for his determined
stand for the American hog, he knew of no pre-
cedent for thanking American minister for
doing his duty by a vote of Congress, and he
could see no particular reason for establishing a
precedent in this case.
Mr. Hitt of the same committee, says that be-
fore final action is taken, it will be necessary to
ascertain what the record of Mr. Sargent has
been since his appointment.

A MYSTERIOUS CIRCULAR
Democratic Congressman Urged to Abandon
the Tariff Issue for the Present,
Snecial TO the India napolis Journal


the Tariff Issue for the Present.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April EVERY Democratic
member of the House to-day received an en-
velope containing circular signed many Dem
oerats," in which was an ably-written resume of
the whole question of tariff. The writers urge
that no party can institute reforms unless it
has control of the executive branch Of the gov
ernment that reform of the tariff at this time is
impossible, and that the whole question should
be subordinated to the presidential contest A
new conference is asked and it is suggested that
the best policy for the Democratic party to
adopt at the present time is to recommit the
Morrison bill to the ways and means committee,
with instructions to report a tariff bill on
the 9th day of January next which
shall not only reduce tariff duties, but
internal taxes as well. There is great deal of
speculation among Democrats in regard to the
author or authors of the circular In one place
it is asserted that the eompilers are among those
who voted with the majority at the recent eau
GUS but the ear-marks seem to bear out the be-
