RUINED BY HAIL.
Grain Fields Moved Level With the
Earth.
Houses and Barns Unroofed and Stock
Killed by wind-Storm.

KANKAKEE, ILL.,, July 12.--Ruin and des-
olation mark the course of Fridays storm
through the section of country ten miles
southwest of here. Hail was the principal
agent of destruction. Commencing at a
point one milo west of Chebanse, and ex-
tending two or three miles northwest,
thence almost retracing It's course toward
the south, east to point between Clifton
and Ashkum, the storm moved swath
three to four miles wide, destroying every
species of vegetation in its path. Luxuriant
fields of corn six feet high were cut close to
the ground. Timothy and oats were moved
down as though the harvester had passed
through them, and to-day scores OF
farmers were raking up these crops which
have never felt the touch of sickle. Not
only are these crops cut to pieces by hail,
but they are in many instances fairly
pounded into the ground. On many farms
one dollar would be a big price for the
remnants of last seasons labors. Every
window on the north side of the buildings
in the track of the storm is riddled
Houses and barns were unroofed and stock
killed. Adam Fritz, in Pilot Township,
was struck by lightning and killed. In the
town of Essex Miss Kate Shannon was
prostrated by bolt She is seriously in
jured.
ROCHESTER,, IND, July IA violent
hailstorm passed over the northwestern
part of this county this afternoon. The
corn and oats are badly damaged. Four
inches of hail covered the ground.

GUILLAUME HERMANN ABIcH, the distin-

The leading Opposition journal of Phil
ippolis vehemently attacks Prince Alexan-
der, saying that he is foreigner, and an
swerable for the misfortunes of Bulgaria
and for the failure to effect a complete
union with Eastern Roumelia, and de-
manding that he be deposed.

Afloat in an One n Boat.

New YoRK, July 11.-Nicholas Peterson,
the champion crank of the season, has
started again for Europe in row-boat.
he has tried 1t several times before, but as
he knows nothing whatever about the
management of boat he always failed to
get more than a mile or two before capsiz-
ing. He started from Long Branch, last
Thursday on his favorite journey, and wss
fished out nearly drowned, clinging te
his upturned boat, after he had been
soaking in the briny waves for
hours He returned to this city on Satur-
day not whit discouraged, though he
concealed his purpose of making another
start at once, and promised to report for
work at the stables where he is employed
this morning When he failed to appear a
search was instituted, which showed that
he had set out once more across the sea.
The harbor police are looking for him with
the expectation of finding him before
morning capsized.

Tho Dakotinns Thought the World was
Coming to an End.
ST. PAU, July 8. = People In Dakota
thought the world was coming to an end
the day before yesterday. The wind Was
like simeon. Birds, horses and cattle APP
parently became crazy with fright, an tici-
patirg some catastrophy. Early in tho
morning people were awakened by roar
ing blast as hot as IL from a furnace.
Fearing cyclone they took refuge in cell
lars. The hot wind lasted an hour. The
temperature was 12Odegrees. At midnight
1t had been 100 degrees. People feared
death from the hot air, and had it lasted
much longer, the fear would doubtless have
been realized. Fortunately it soon abated,
and comparative comfort was found in q
temperature of about 100 degrees which
had prevailed for several days previously.
During this terrible night there were
strange barometric disturbance through
out that region. Passengers who came
through on Northern Pacific trains say that
it was like passing through a furnace
1rainmen had their faces and hands bills.

are badly damaged.

BACKING DOWN.
Demand for the the Release Of the
Schooner Adams Complied With.
The Owner Insists on 81 700 Damages for
the Seizure OF His Vessel.

D1opy, N. s., July 9.--The demand OF
Secretary Bayard for the release of the
schooner Adams has been complied with.
Counsel for the owner of the Adams to-
day served notice on the Collector of Gus
toms that he would soon have to answer
for damages of s12, 900 for taking forcible
possession of the schooner and converting
her to his own uses. This is practically q
suit against the Canadian Government,
and although the warrant of sciznro re-
mains nailed to the mast of the Adams it
is claimed that the prosecutors for the
Queen and plaintiffs have long since aban-
doned their suit, and will now become the
defendants in the action for damages.
WASHINGTON, July 0.-In an interview
tonight respecting the release Of the
Adams, Secretary Bayard said ~ did
ask for the release Of the Adams, and she
was released by order of the British Gov
ernment. / do not know as it would be
proper to say she was released because !
asked it, but because upon examination it
was found that the seizure had been I'M

A Wild Man in the Woods,

DECATUR, IND, July 9.-Mrs. Charles Bal
lenbaugh was working in a field two miles
from Chattanooga, o., yesterday when she
discovered man approaching her who was
nude, except hat and boots. AS soon as she
saw him she ran for an adjoining field,
where there were some men at work, and
gave the ralarm. The men started after
him, and he ran for an adjoining woods
and disappeared in the thick under
brush. To-day the farmers in that region
have all stopped harvesting and are in
search of the crazy man, and expect to
capture him before the sun goes down to-
night. The women and children of that Sec
tion are afraid to venture outside of the
house while is at large. 1t is supposed
he has escaped from some insane asylum.

LONDON, July s.-Rioting 8. broke out this
afternoon in Cardiff, Wales. The police
charged the crowd and wounded over one
hundred persons. Twenty of the injured
were seriously hurt, and were conveyed to
the hospital. Owing to the excitement
that prevails, the mayor of Cardiff has pro-
hibited n meeting which was to have been
held tonight to celebrate the return of Sir
Z. j. Reed, Gladstonian, to Parliament.
The police will be prosecuted for using un-
due violence,

JOURNALISM is taking squirt in Italy.
In Naples there is regular newspaper
reading craze, and even the beggars
gather around some fortunate possessor
of daily paper as he reads aloud in the
street. But the people soon get tired OF
any one paper and clamor for new
one. The consequence is that almost
every day some paper dies and another
takes its place. One of the most certain
ways of killing newspaper in Italy, by
the way, is to fill it with news. What
they want is good local lies and blood
curdling sensations.

An Oneida Community Busted.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 11.-An attempt
to initiate the Oneida Free-love Community
has fzzled out at Ancora, Camden County,
N. D., and persons who participated in it
have been objects Of public charity. An.
cora was settled originally by a band OF
Spiritualists, and is to-day one of the best
mosquito-breeding territories in South
Jersey. The Spiritualists spent s25, 900 in
improving their property, but the scheme
never proved success.

In yytscau.tu

q In Wisconsin.
MILWAUKEE, July 1l.--Advices received
late tonight from Waterford, e. hamlet of
500 people, in Racine County, are that
the strange disease which made its ap-
pearance there few days ago is spread
ing. Two deaths have occurred and six
others are expected momentarily. Forty
people have been stricken with virulent
form, and many others with milder
phase of the malady. The people are ter.
ror-stricken, and the village is being rap
idly deserted. The stores are barred, the
schools closed, and surrounding towns
have virtually quarantined the place.
The State Board Of Health to-day made
an investigation and found the malady
to be a species of violent typhoid
fever Its attack produces delir-
ium. It was introduced into the village by
Milwaukee laborer named Huening, who
went there sick. Receptacles used by him
were washed at we'll, where eighty chill
dren attending the Catholic Parochial
School are won't to drink, and contami-
mated the water. Many of these children
are down with the disease 1t is reported
that the epidemic has spread to the neigh
boring town Of Rochester.

PITTsBuReH, Pa, July 12.-John Duval,
an educated man, waylaid a man ma med
Jones, the husband of his divorced wife, on
Mount Washington, suburb of this city,
tonight, and threw the contents of vitrol
vial in his face, after which he shot
himself through the head, expiring in
stantly. Jones, the vitrol victim, was form
erly an intimate of both Duval and his
young wife, and under the guise of friend
ship led astray the latter, by reason OF
which Duval secured divorce some time
since, whereupon the guilty wife and her
paramour were married Duval's troubles
preyed upon his mind until he became un
balanced, and resorted to the means above
outlined to avenge his wrongs and end his
troubles. He died with a picture of his
faithless wife in his hand Jones, though
frightfully burned, will recover.

ploded this afternoon with great violence.
The boiler.house was blown to atoms and
many buildings in the neighborhood were
badly damaged by the flying debris. Ed

ously injured. The cause of the explosion
is a mystery. The loss will reach several

celebrated its semi-centennial to-day. But
one OF the original members of fifty years
ago was present-Uncle Ben Clarke Dur.
ing all that time his devotion to the church

mon saying among them that ben Clarke
would die in Ramoth Church yet" While
services owere in progress to-day Clarke
stepped out to see about his horse, which
was hitched TO tree he had used for half
century. AS he reached the animal he
fell dead at its feet, and the old saying was
verified.

IT is reported that recent discovery
will permit the manufacture of the metal
aluminium at about "a per pound. Alu-
minum was discovered about sixty years
ago, but has hitherto been too costly
for general use, though its properties
have caused many scientific man to
look at 1t longingly, as the probable
basis of a great revolution in manufac.
turea. 1t can be made to rival the
diamond In hardness and the gold in

Remarkable Raft of Logs.

ST. JOHN, N. B., July 9.-Unless legal en-.
tanglements prevent, the most remarkable
raft OF logs ever put together will leave
here for New York in few days. 1t is a
cigar-shaped cylinder four hundred feet
long, with the beam and draught of sea-
going vessel, and contains 3,5OOO00 feet of
logs Its value here is $4,000. 1t will be
hauled by regular ocean steamer, which
will follow the coast pretty closely. The
success of the enterprise will depend upon
the weather. A storm would doubtless
cause total loss. The object is to save
$500 duty, sawed timber being taxed
while logs enter free.

MAN is not the only animal that com.
mits suicide. Herrings and other fish
have sought death by rushing ashore in
myriads; regiments of ants, by deliber.
ately marching into streams; swarms OF
rats, by migrating into the face of their
deadly foes, and even butterflies, by
flying in immense clouds straight out
to sea. 1t would be interesting to learn
the causes of the apparent wholesale
and deliberate self-destruction. Is the
act purely conscious one, or are the
creatures victims Of disease-mental or
