PROPERTY WRECKED. A Cyclone i'm Windsor, Bloomfield
 and Vicinity.

cyclone In Windsor, Bloomfield and Vicinity.
 The heavy rain of Monday was accompa- nied by high wind and hail and did much damage in the northern part of the State where it's central line was from the west of Bloomfield, through portion of Windsor and across the river through the Podunk dis trict in South Windsor.
 The Times says 'In Windsor Allen Will sons big tobacco shed was blown down and four acres of tobacco were ruined by hail
 stones. As these pierced the tobacco leaves
 the furious wind tore the plants up and left whole fields in ruin. George Deming, man
 with no arms, lost from two to two and one
 half acres; William Deming's crop was prac- tically destroyed, covering probably three acres; Harry Chapman, on the old Sam Mather place, lost his whole crop; E. w. Denslow had two acres totally destroyed, and the crops of scores of other tobacco growers along the line of this disastrous storm are entirely ruined.
 "Many trees are blown down in this sec tion. In Bloomfield the wind was especially furious. Filley Bros' three tobacco sheds
 were blown down and there was the same
 general prostration of tobacco crops as in
 other localities. But the blowing over of
 trees was 0 marvellous sight. MT. Fred Pin
 ney after the storm yesterday afternoon went
 in circuit in the immediate vicinity of his
 farm and counted ninety trees, mostly apple,
 lying flat upon the ground. The Filley
 brothers lost over one hundred trees and in
 the orchard of MT. J. E. Palmer not tree is
 left standing. Fortunately there was no

THE NEW YORK REPUBLICANS To Hold Their Convention Before
 the Democrats

SARATOGA, Aug. 25.-The Republican State committee met here to-day and fixed the s2nd of September, two days before the Democratic convention, as the date for hold ing the Republican State convention. After lively contest, in which Saratoga, Syracuse, Rochester, Brooklyn and Richfeld Springs were urged as the place for holding the con- vention, Saratoga was selected, the final vote standing: Saratoga 15, Syracuse IA. The avowed object of holding the Republican convention before the Democratic is to enable the former party to get before the public first with platform. It was acknowledged by some of the committeeman that there is room for only one platform, and whichever party squatted on it first would, it was be- leved, be entitled to hold it against ali corners. It is assumed that the chief plank of the platform will be civil service reform.
 In the evening session of the Republican State committee it was decided to submit the question of increased representation to the next State convention. A resolution to admit delegate to the convention from each young mems Republican club was adopted. The committee then adjourned.

Chips From The EalI Field.

Len Stockwell, the catcher recently re leased by the New Britains, has signed witt Norfolk of the Eastern league. There is a movement on feet to place the pitcher back five feet further in order to i'm prove the batting.
 The Bridgeports play an exhibition game with the Hartfords at Hartford to-day. The Capital city nine were to play in Bridgeport yesterday, but were prevented by the rain.
 It is reported that only once in the last five games at Meriden have the gate receipts visiting clubs.
 Hatfield and Jones of the Hartfords of 1883 are in the Newark nine, and Tucker made his first appearance with them Monday at first base.
 According to the Southern New England league rules all games played stand in the record, whether any club disbands or stays in. So all the Springfield, Bridgeport and New Haven games count. Were they thrown out, Hartford would get the best of Meriden.
 The directors of the Southern New Eng land league held special meeting at Meriden yesterday afternoon. The object of the gathering was to revise the schedule disrupted by the withdrawal of the Bridgeports and the disbandment of the Springfelds It was thought by some that if the championship could be decided by the middle of September it would excite interest sufficient to over come any great losses financially.
 Rittenhouse, who has been pitching for the Brockton, Mass, nine since his release by the New Britains, has been released.
 FncaY,a Moriarfu late pf tho Tpdianarn1ia and Detroit hines, who was to have signed with the Bridgeports, has gone to the New arks as pitcher. The managers of the Bridge ports have papers showing when Moriarity ne gotiated with them before his ten days had expired, which gives them the power to blacklist him if they so desire.
 Games yesterday: At St. Louis, St. Louis 13, Buffalos 7; at Chicago. Chicagos g., De- troits 0. A number ot games were postponed on account of rain, including the New York Providence and Boston-Philadelphia games and all the American association games.

THE IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE. A Lively Corpse Eff President Egan Is
 

Correct.
 OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 25.-Patrick Egan, president of the Irish National league of America, in an interview regarding the charge that the league has degenerated into mere political machine, and is therefore virtually dead: says: 'tWhile I was in New York accepted the presidency of the league, and thenceforth, while holding that posi- tion, was precluded from taking part in pol tics, whatever my political opinions may have been. l maintained that position throughout the late presidential campaign and intend to maintain the same attitude so long as am president of the league. That the league is daed is altogether mistaken idea. We have nearly six hundred branctes scattered over the country. All of them will be in active working condition at the time of the national convention to be held in Chicago next January, which will be the largest ever held in America, possibly with the exception of that of 1881, also held in Chicago. Parnell will probably be in at tendance; he has promised to come if possible. T. D. Sullivan, of Dublin, is also expected. Sullivan will take his seat as mayor of Dub- lnent members of the Irish National parry are expected"
 Parnen Appeals to the Electors.
 DUBLIN, Aug. 25.-The members of the Irish parliamentary party held private meeting to day over which Mr. Parnell pre- sided. It was resolved that the county con ventions should consult with Mr. Parnell as to the selection of proper candidates to stand for the coming general election and that each candidate shall sign pledge that he will act and vote with the Parnell party in the event of his election. The candidates must also pledge themselves to resign their seats if majority ssof their colleagues shall vote to require them to do so. Follow ing the private conference public meetings were held and addressed by Mr 1 ParneI. He said that the triumph of the 1 Irish cause was assured beyond doubt, no matter which of the English parties won the | election. The Tories, he said, offer as good l g scheme for Irish self-government as do the l Wings. He exhorted the farmers to sup port the National league and prove that they | will not allow the landlords to trample upon ! them. If they will so act during the coming | winter they need have no fear for the | future
