THE CHICAGO STORM.
Four Persons KiIIed-HOw Brave
Bridge Tender Anved Many Lives.

Four Persons AiIIed-HOw Brave
Bridge Tender saved Many Lives.
CHICAGO, June 3-As far as has bsen learned
the number of persons killed by the lightning
in last nights storm ia four. The name Of one
man killed on Blue Island avenue has not been
tague, Mrs. Annie Anderson, Charles Wahl-
forth, and John Pathke. The two last named
were laborers, employed in lumber yard The
During the height of the storm last night,
a watchman heard cries at the foot Of 18th
street. He rushed down to the breakwater
and called again, and was answered by the
voice of several men. The watchmen thought
the men were drifting eouth. He attempted
to call the police through the patrol box, but
was driven away by sheets of lightning which
leaped from the telephone instrument when
ever he touched it. When the police finally
learned Of the men who were out in the lake,
q patrol wagon was sent to the foot OF 18th
street. The officers took lanterns and pa
trolled the beach, but could not see out six
yards on the lake. When they first came the
officers heard cries, but the voices were very
faint, and seemed long way out. 1t is thought
that vessel may have been struck by light
ming and that all the crew may have been
forced to take boat or raft.
During the storm Henry Cormady, who is
employed as bridge tender at the Hslstead
street bridge, was the hero of an exploit that
probably saved the lives of plumber OF per-
sons. A street car bound north dashed upon
the bridge, and as it neared the centre OF the
structure, CormadY glanced out of his window
and was horrifed to see the bridge slowly
swing open. Cormady dashed out of the bridge
house and ran az tho top of his speed across
the bridge toward the Car. Reaching the ad-
vancing team he grabbed the horses by the
bits and sang out to the driver to put on the
brake. The Car was stopped about 10 feet
from the end of the rails, and over the muddy
waters of the river.

THE PORTLAND ASSOCIATION.


meeting of the stockholders of the Portland
Base Bah and Athletic Association was held yester-
day afternoon. The meeting came to order at the
call of the president. The first motion was one
that all present not actual holders of stock or
present as proxies should Withdraw. Judge Geo. F.
Gould said that he thought the association was to
do nothing of which it would be ashamed, and he
favored allowing representatives of the papers to
be present. that accurate report Of the business
transacted could be made. Judge Goul then called
for stock vote, and the motion to exclude report
ers prevailed.
Tie stockholders are divided into two factions,
and the faction which owns a majority Of the stock
some time ago placed their stock in the hands of
trustees, who vote it as unit. The minority fac
ton sought representatic the board Of directors
yesterday, but the majority voted down their
request.
1he minority further asked that the treasurer
make a statement of the sales Of stock, the pur-
chasers and the selling price. This matter was in
definitely postponed, on the ground that the paper
was in the form of demand instead of a request.
The discussion Of the various matters was pro-
longed for over an hour, and was somewhat ami
mated
1t was voted not to increase the number of diret.
ors to seven, and Herbert G. Briggs, Esq, was
elected to fill the vacancy existing In the board.
The question OF removing Manager Winship did
not come before the meeting, and it is understood
that no intention of doing SO is entertained.
The total number Of shares in the association is
opposition to the syndicate. The opposition claim
that they are sure of larger number, and hope
eventually to gain representation on the board OF
directors.

A Surprise Party for the GambIers.

CHICAGO, June 3.-Mayor Harrison of this
city, through the police department, has issued
an order that all gambling houses not closed
on and after the 9th inst, shall be raided by
the police, their occupants arrested, and their
apparatus destroyed. The proprietors OF all
regular gambling houses and saloon keepers
in whose places poker is played have been nc
titled of this order. The notification was a
great surprise to the proprietors. None of them
expected it, and all regarded it as meaning
business Some orders have been given before,
but the gamblers are utterly unable to account
for such action at this time. One of them sug-
gested that perhaps recent article relating to
the experience of man who lost large 81 m
of money, and who was twice arrested by the
police for Kicking, had forced upon the may
or the conclusion that it was time an effort was
made to stop gambling in Chicago.
