An investigation now going on at
Washington reveals great extrava
gance, not to characterize it as thieve-
ry, in the management of the sst
aud geological survey. A Professor in
the Hopkins University has Spent
$I50,00O of the government funds in
taking an extended trip, pretending
to make scientific experiments, but
one OF these trips is said to have been
a wedding tour. Another scientist
has been on the payrolls as tide in
spector, who admitted that the tides
would rise and fall without his super
vision. The coast survey staff are
wearing JurgenseD chronometers that
cost $500 to $500 each, merely to keep
them in order. Valuable books, some
costing $50, were borrowed from the
coast survey department. and when
asked to return them, replied that they
had been burned. How long will such
things be endured?

The Point Settled.

We commend to the attention OF
those who have CHANGED to lind a mig
ger in the temperance VOID pile, and
W no are thinking of enforcing the
law, to the following decision made
upon the language found in Section
6,949 of the Revised Statutes. We clip
it from one OF our exchanges:
Somebody ised the point that
according 10 n recent State law, NO
body could sell liquor within two lies
of the annual fair, held at Spring field
last week. This point WAS passed Oh
by Judge Goode, who decided that the
intent of the law covered only tempo
rary stands and booths. and not regu
larry established places Of bushes /"
We think that is about the size of IL,
aud any attempt to give trouble in re
gard to the enforcement of the statute
will meet with the same rebuke.-

nesiruciiXe Slorm.

On Tuesday evening OF last week a
fierce cycloue struck Washington
Court House, town of about 1900
Inhabitants, twenty. five miles south
of Springfield, and almost literally
swept it out of existence. 1t came
from the northwest, and broke upon
the town very suddenly, carrying ev-
erythlng before it, including almost
every business block-at least forty or
fifty in all. Hardly private residencs
in the town escaped. Fully four hun
dred buildings went down. The Ohio
Southern. Panhandle, Narrow Gauge,
and Midland railroad depots were lit
orally blown TO pieces. The Presby
terian, Baptist and Catholic churches
have suffered the same fate as othe'
structures. The gas works were de
struyed. and all the street lights were
out. Unly 10y the lightning flashes
were the people to catch gliinpses o
the desolation that had wrecked lheiI
little city. The fierce roaring of the
terrible tornado, the crashing of bro
ken and falling buildings, the roll of
thunder and tue pitiless rain, cOmbin-
ed to produce sensations of the most
horrifying character. Th, people fled
in all directions, and the cellars #
houses were filled with frightened,
shivering citizens, vainly trying TO
keep warm.
The destruction of life is not as great
as at first reported, but five or six are
known to have been killed outright,
and the number of injured is very
large. The money loss, which ia, OF
course, entirely uuindemnified, will,
it is estimated, reach ST 900. 900. exclu

The storm was very destructive in
many other localities. 1t seems to
have plowed it's way through the
country from south to north, as al

done, and Miami county Was severely
visited, barns. dwellings and out hous
es demolished.
Every ytbiUg in the course of the cy-
clone, whose path varied from forty
IDS to half mile in width, WIS
swept down. AT Plain City, eighteen
miles from Columbus, u carriage fac
tory and a saw mill were destroy ed,
and other buildings were unroOfed.
At Napoleon, Ohio, considerable dam
age was done, the path of the storm
being half mile wide. At AtSeymour,
Ind q residence was destroyed, and
at Cambridge City, Ind the storm
was very violent. A residence owned
