Damage in Illinois.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CHAMPAIGN, July 9.-Astorm of great severity
swept over this region at noon to-day Terrific
winds blew for over an hour, while rain poured
in torrents, beating into houses and filling Gel
lars A large brick building was unroofed, let
ting the food into Manspeaker's grocery store.
PARIS hay press was badly damaged, and scores
of building were injured. Immense damage is
believed to have been done to the oats crop, and
much corn is broken off.
MARSHALL, Ill, July "a tornado struck
the northern part of this county this afternoon,
scattering wheat stacks blowing down fences
and trees, and doing great damage. In Oliver,
just across the line in Edgar county, several
dwellings, a school house, and some large tile
sheds, were wrecked the latter totally. The
inmates of the two latter almost miraculously
escaped injury.

The Storm in Minnesota.

MONTICELLO, MINI, July ga cyclone
passed north of this place yesterday afternoon
The track of the storm was about five miles
distant, and the omnibus looking cloud was
watched by about every one in town. The cloud
was of greenish hue and funnel shaped and as it
danced across the prairie, now tearing up dirt
from the ground and again rising some distance
in the air, created peculiar scene. A house
between Big lake and Becker was struck and
nothing was left to tell where it stood pieces of
timber and furniture being scattered all over
the prairie The only things discovered near the
place that were recognizable were some knives and
forks, which were found about three hundred feet
distant Some distance further, gentleman
named Magee, was driving in buggy. Magee
saw the storm coming and fastened into the
shelter of cump of small maple trees. Near
the trees, and between him and the storm, was
knoll, which, perhaps was what saved his life
the cloud rose and passed directly over him
without doing any harm. In the cloud he could
see pieces of timber and wreckage whirling
about but his account is rather meagre He
admits that he was too frightened to
pay much attention to anything. About five
hundred yards further an old stable was
lifted from the ground and carried away a
house standing near by being unframed. A
little child playing in yard was picked up and
carried some distance, but was landed near a
fence unframed, aside from few scratches.
Reports are slow in coming in, but so far no
deaths have been reported although several
narrow escapes occurred.

IMPALED ON A B0NNET-S0D.
The Shocking and Horrible Accident that
Befe Isaac Lederer, a Cincinnati Man.

CINCINNATI, July Am accident, to contem-
plate the particulars of which causes an invol-
untary shudder, occurred shortly before last
midnight IN Mrs. B. Lederers millinery store at
No. 1874 West Sixth street The injured man,
Isaac Lederer, was across the street in a saloon,
engaged with some friends in a social game of
cards, and as it was growing late the wife sent
their little daughter to request him to come
nome and close up the store.
One of the attractions of the place is a very
Hastily arranged front window in which, during
the early evening" gas is kept burning. Standing
on the floor of the window were a number of
bonnet-rods which consist of a stiff iron rod
pointed acutely at the upper extremity and at
the lower end held in place by broad castiron
base. Mr.. Lederer climbed into the window to
reached upward to the thumb-screw. Then,
whether he slipped or whether a sudden paraly-
sis seized him. will never be know. At any rate,
he fell over sideways and as he fell one of the
deadly looking rods entered the throat in the
arch of the iawbone. and passed upward through
bones and flesh distance of nearly four inches,
glancng out so as to escape the eye socket, and
ending its course near the base Of the right
temple bone Without groan the victim, who
is quite heavy in frame, weighing possibly 40
pounds, fell from the window.
MRS. Lederer was outside the door at the time,
talking to three lady acquaintance With a
scream of horror. she ran into the store. and
leaning over her husband, she tried with all her
strength to withdraw the implement of death,
but without success. Aid was speedily at hand,
and it required all the force of stalwart man to
withdraw the rod which held its place with wise
like tenacity. Medical aid was summoned, and
the unconscious form conveyed as quickly as
possible to one of the residence rooms on the
second floor and laid upon the bed.
AT first the entire right side was noticed to be
in paralyzed condition, but later the arm and
leg recovered from temporary inaction. The
right side of the face, however, retained its ri
gidity, and the power of speech seemed utterly
absent Four physicians held serious and sol.
emn consultation upon the case, and, after doing
all that their skill could suggest left the patient
to await the developments of this morning. At
l o'clock he was sleeping heavily, but with APP
parent naturalneSs.
Mrs. Lederer, a comely looking woman, with
pale, scared face, was seen, and said:
Il was sitting outside with some friends when
| saw my husband fail | screamed as loud as
could, and tried with all my might to pull the
rod out but Oh"-and she covered her face
with her hands as though she would forever shut
from her sight the terrible scene-'I could not
do it"

The Kansas Indian Troubles.

WAsHINGToN, July 9.-An important order
was issued at the ar Department to-day and
sent to General NAes, who is to take the field
in command of the troops now in the Indian
Territory to suppress the trouble with
the Cheyennes. Army officials are reti
cent as to the contents of the mes
sage. Persons not ii authority, however,
say that the order contained instructions to the
commanding officer, directing him to disarm the
Indians. 1t was sent by Lieutenant general
Sheridan. The Cheyenne Indians are armed
with the best make of rifles, and have consdera-
Bile quantities of ammunition. For some time
they have anticipated an attempt by the army to
take their arms from them, and have in
some instances hidden them. If these troops
undertake to disarm them the officials here who
have dealt with the Cheyennes say that they will
resist until overpowered. There are between
1900 and 1000 fighting Indians among them.
1t was said here today that General Augur
favored the disarming of these Indians, but con
sidered the present force insufficient for the
purpose
Governor Martin has sent long letter to the
Secretary of War stating the defenseless condi
ton Of the southern and western counties OF
that State, and asking that the government
furnish adequate protection.

A BONAPARTE WILL FIGHT.
The Grand Nephew Of the First Emperor
on His Muscle.

BALTIMORE, July 9.-"Well Rhodes said
Charles Joseph Bonaparte, in the office of the
clerk of the Court of Common Pleas to-day, ''the
truth is you took Mrs. Plummer into your Office
and made her sign a paper of the contents of
which she was ignorant"
Whoever says that lies" was Rhodes's quick
reply. In an instant Mr. Bonaparte struck out
from the shoulder and landed blow on Rhodes g
nose. Rhodes returned blow for blow, and be-
fore the two men were parted by friends dozen
hard knocks had passed. Then explanations
were made. Bonaparte asked if Rhodes meant
that he was a liar. Rhodes answered that he
meant what he said but he knew that Bonaparte
would not have made any such statement from
his own knowledge of the case, and he thought
that some one must have made the statement to
Mr. BOnaparte, ana the man he intended to call
a liar was that man.
This explanation was satisfactory, and they
parted friends The encounter was the talk Of
the town to-day. Mr. B0naparte, who is grand
son Of the famous Madame Patterson BOnaparte
and the King of Wurtemberg aud brother of
Col Jerome Bonaparte, is a leading lawyer of
the Baltimore bar, and very wealthy man. He
bears most striking resemblance to his grand
uncle Napoleon in his features. His opponent,
Charles Rhodes, is bright attorney, who was
formerly police magistrate. They were oppos
ing counsel IN an equity case brought by Mrs.
Pummer for n settlement of the Plummer es
tate. The trial of the case had ended, and the
counsel Of the case had just left the courtroom
When the offensive words were spoken. Bona
parte received the worst punishment. the skin
on his forehead being broken and his left eye

Why There Are No Railways in China.

Interview with S. Il. Elkins
l had occasion to investigate the Chinese
railroads while preparing my address on the
labor question. l got the impression that the
railroad was abandoned because the Chinese
government was unwilling that the work of car
rying packs should be taken away from the
people. l found that was not So The road was
built by an English syndicate, subsidized to the
extent of 100000 per mile. 1t was sheer
robbery, for the road run over country as
level as one of our Western prairies In China
the dead are buried in tombs built above ground
The Chinese venerate their ancestors, and the
tombs are sacred above everything except their
shrnes. These Englishmen had no more sense
than to run their road right through these tombs
wherever they ran across them. The Chinese
we're patient for a time, but their wrath grew
into a revolt by the time the road passed into
the hands of the government, and could only be
appeased by taking up the offending track. Gen
eral Grant confirmed these facts to me. China
will have railroads shortly, and the stride will
actually be from the ox-cart up.
