Condition of Leonard. of Bfrmins.
ham, Who Shot Himself Friday
Evening.
Elmer G. Leonard, of Birmingham, shot
himself in the head Friday evening. The
cause was jealousy of a sweetheart named
Nellie Otis, who was employed in the same
factory with Leonard. He had threatened to
kill Miss Otis and then kill himself. He had
said several times that he would take his own
life. A short time ago he invented an i'm
provement connected with the corset manu-
facture and expended all his earnings on it.
The benefit was not realized, owing to the
unfaithfulness of Boston friend Leonard
is twenty eight years old and native of
Springfield, Mass. He had been employed
by Loomer's Sons in Birmingham for some
years. Yesterday he was reported in a low
condition and Dr. Meade, who attended him,
feared fever of the brain Miss Otis is
constantly at his bedside. Leonard had pre-
viously had fight with the foreman, An
drew Loomer, whom he thought to be the
favored lover. Both Miss Otis and Leonard
were dismissed from the factory on account
of this quarrel. Miss Otis was forewoman
in the factory and the girls made an attempt
to have her return to her work The attempt
was unsuccessful and much regret is ex-
pressed. Leonard's relatives from Spring
field will attend him.

groceries, feed and liquors, occupy. McCor.
mack & Cashen, plumbers, occupy the other
one. The upper floor was used as a boarding
house. The upper part of the building was
in flames when the fremen arrived, but three
streams of water soon brought it under con-
troll The wind was strong from the north
west and threatened to endanger the SUR
rounding buildings. The burned building is
owned by Mrs. William P Niles, of Fair
Haven.
The losses amount to about $4,000 Mrs
Cowles, who kept the boarding house, loses
most of her goods which were insured to a
small amount The policies were burned.
Mccormack & Cashen were damaged con-
siderably, but were insured to the amount of
$4,000. George B. Allen & Co. had a
stock of goods valued at $4,000,
the loss in regard to which
could not be estimated. They were insured
s., 200. This is the second building Mrs
Niles has had burned on the same ground.
W. p Niles, of Fair Haven, went to WaIline-
ford Saturday afternoon and looked over the
building. He says the insurance was for
S., 900, but that the damage cannot be COW

dent and his private secretary arrived
here few minutes after 8 o'clock this
morning over the Baltimore and Poto-
mac road. Albert Hawkins the old
colored coachman, met them at the de-
pot with the coupe and they were soon
taking breakfast in the White House.
The President looks as brown as a ber-
ry, and his nose is beginning to peel
from the scorching of the fierce Adir-
ondack sun experienced during the past
few weeks. He was attired in a silk
hat and black Prince Albert coat, and
looked like country merchant come
to town in his Sunday suit.
President Cleveland has decided
that Office. seekers will be restricted in
their visits to one day per week, and a
second call by an oflice-seeker will not
be permitted. The public will also be
restricted to one day per week.
Several hours were spent this morn
ing in going over the 1900 letters
which have accumulated in the Whit,
House mail during the summer vaca
ton. The President scanned the
newspapers of the past three weeks
hastily, as he had not kept up with the
current news of the day while on hii
fishing trip. The President denied
himself TO all visitors during the fore
noon except Secretary Bayard ant
Secretary Manning.

An Ohio Town in Ruins,

A tornado on Tuesday evening at
eight o'clock almost completely demol-
ished a town called Washington Court
House.
The storm came from the northwest,
and broke upon the town very sudden
ly, carrying everything before it. The
tornado whir)ed up Court street, the
main business thoroughfarc, and ruined
almost every business block in it, at
least forty or fifty in all. Hardly a
private residence in the town escaped,
fully 400 buildings going down. The
Baptist, Presbyterian and Catholic
churches all suffered the common fate.
The Ohio Southern, Pan Handle,
NarrowGauge and Midland Railroad
depots were blown into "smithereens,"
and every building in the vicinity was
carried away, making ingress or egress
almost impossible. Every wire within
a circuit of two miles is down.
The reports of the catastrophe were
sent by a telegraph operator who tap
ped wire two miles west of town,and,
sitting in a heavy rain storm, worked
his instrun ent. The panic stricken
people were taken completely unawares,
and fled from the tumbling buildings
in every direction through the murky
darkness.
A mad frenzy seemed to seize the
people, and they hurried hither and
thither in their wild distraction, little
knowing whittier they were fleeing.
After the whirlwind, which lasted
about ten minutes, a heavy rain set in,
which continued unabated throughout
the night. Sheriff Rankin ordered out
the militia, which took charge and
helped get order out of chaos.
All the gas went out when the
storm came up. The gas works were
destroyed. Bon fires had to be burnt
in streets to give light for the search
ers. One of the injured is the man.
ager of the Telephone Exchange. He
was hurled across the street and had an
arm, leg and collar-bone broken. Some
houses were lifted up and carried bod
lily several hundred feet.
[As sOOu as leW VI tuc COOler Hedus
recovered their senses, searching par
ties were organized and the sad work
of looking for the dead began. The
gllmmer of lanterns, procured from
farm houses in the vicinity and from
the few houses left standing, was the
only light they had to work by. Two
or three bodies were stumbled upon in
the middle of the street, where they
were stricken down by flying bricks or
timbers The cellars of houses and
every sort Of refuge were filled with
shivering people, budding together in
the vain attempt to keep warm. One
babe in arms died from exposure.
Fully 800 people were hurt. The
loss will exceed S1,OO0.000.

Judicial Amendment.

For some time past notice has
appeared in two Of the County papers
in each County of the State announce
ing a proposed Amendment TO the
Constitution. The first one to note
the error was DIR. Stevenson, of Law
renee county, who voted against the
bill and was aware of its defeat. After
DR.. Stevenson had announced the err or
an investigation was made among the
records and journal of the House and
Senate and it was discovered that the
joint resolution proposing to amend
the Constitution so as to make the
population of a judicial district co..
900 instead of 10000, which it was
supposed passed both branches of the
Legislature, did not receive the consti-
tutional majority in the lower House.
The 'ioint resolution" referred 10
was passed by the Senate and sent TO
the House. 1t went through the usual
preliminary stages successfully, but on
final passage, as was ascertained by the
House Journal, as yet printed but not
bound and ready for delivery, it was
defeated by S5 yeas TO 27 nays, not re.
ceiving the 101 votes required by the
Constitution for its passage. In the
rush and hurry of last day legislation,
after the bill had been messaged TO the
Senate as defeated, it must have been
gathered up with bills that had passed,
transcribed and presented TO the Speak
ers of both Houses, who signed it
along with the other bills. 1t was
then sent to the Governor, bearing all
the marks of having passed both
branches, but tho Governor did not
sign it, choosing to allow it to become
law but not taking action on it with
in the thirty days allowed him after
the adjournment of the Legislature.
Secretary Stenger, himself, was misled
in the matter, and sent out the adver.
tisements referred TO in the enclosed
slip. The fault, undoubtedly, lies in
the Senate, which messaged defeated
bill
The advertisement of the proposed
amendment to the Constitution has
been published for the past FIVE weeks
and yet out of the POI members of the
House and so members of the Senate
the error has just been discovered, and
all this expense to the State made for
naught or rather on account of the
loose manner in which business is
done at Harrisburg.
