The Lain Chicago Riot.

careful examination has been made of the
metal used in the bombs which recently did
such murdorous work In Chicago. The metal,
while it resembles lead is more friable, and is
supposed to be a composition Of solder and
powdered glass. DR.. Lee, who examined and
operated on many of the injured policeman,
gives the following account of the effects Of the
explosive:
They do not az all resemble bullet wounds which
are incisive and elean-cut. The bomb slugs made
Jagged wounds, tearing their way through the
clothing into the body. On the surface the aFer-
lures seemed small, but upon penetrating the skin
cavities were found that would readily admit the
finger, the muscles and tissues being torn as to
indicate that the lead had revolving motion
Another peculiarly Of the action Of these missiles
IS that in every they carried into the wounds
pieces Of The clothing and SO greatly enhanced the
danger OF blood poisoning.
Tie force with which they were propelled was
tremendous, was made apparent In the case Of
one OF the officers, where the leaden fragment en-
tered the bone without fracturing il. With oTdi-
nary force Il would have smashed the bone when
crashed against IL, and its power and velocity must
have been extraordinary 20 have penetrated IL.
A great number Of the Anarchists who looted
a drug store have died from poisoning the in
furiated mob drinking everything that had
any appearance or taste Of intoxieants. Large
quantities Of paregOric and other poisonous
drugs were consumed, but 10 what extent it has
caused death il is almost impossible TO tell, as
many secret burials arc reported 10 have taken
place in a private graveyard Of the Bohemians
near Chicago. No new outbreaks have &C.
CURED during the week, and many Of the strik-
ing lumbermen have returned 10 work. About
. policemen are still laid up with their wounds.
Several of them may still die, but it is thought
the greater number viii recover. Fisher is
believed 10 be the man who threw the fatal
bomb. 1t is reported that the woman under
whose bed the rutlian Herr Most was discovered,
Is the sister of the alleged bomb thTower.

Alive snake IN q Boy's stomach.

An almost incredible story comes from Grand
Falls, Me-, about the death Of boy from hem
orrhage caused by pulling from HE mouth
live snake. The lads name was Geo. Murich-
son, and his age eight years. He was bright
little fellow, and lived with his parents on a
farm about four miles from the town. Early
last Winter the boy began TO get strangely
sick. He had a most vorscious appetite, and il
was impossible for him 10 get enough 70 eat.
His friends got alarmed about him, and sent
for physicians who began dosing him for
worms. As the Winter wore on the boy grew
worse and worse. One day be felt something
crawling mp from his stomach into his throat
he almost cbozed TO death, for the crawling
creature tried Intellectually 10 como out by the
nasal passage. In a short time the snake for
snch il was forced his way up the boys throat
and stuck its head out Of his month. The lads
sister, who was near by, saw the head Of the
serpent just before il drew back into the boys
mouth. Very soon tie snake stuck his head
out a second time, snd his little sister made q
grab at it and pulled from the boys mouth a
live snake IL inches long. 1t bad piece Of
flesh attached 10 its tail nearly rs large as a
hens egg. The boy lived a short time only
after the snake was taken from him, dying Of
violent hemorrhage. II Is supposed that the
boy had gone TO sleep in soTae held, and that
the snake had craWled down lis throat. The
reptile has been preserved in alcohol.

On the 10th Dr. Palmer. aged 70, s well

on steamer for Portland, Me-, taking with
him his little grandson four years old. Nobody
noticed anything cnt OF the ordinary in the
conduct OF tho white-haired, kindly-faced old
gentleman, who followed the child around, and
who seemed greatly pleased whenever the pas
sengers gave his charge a pleasant word. When
the little boy got tired his grandfather put him
10 bed. At about 10 o'clock Dr. Palmer, saying
that the boy was soasiclz and must have fresh

Twenty five Lives Lost In Kansas City, Mo.-Terri-
BILE Disaster At xenia, O.-The storms Fatal
Work Elsewhere.
Last week a most terrific storm prevailed
in various parts Of the country entailing almost
everywhere great loss of life and property. AT
Kansas City, Mo-, storm of wind and rain
swept over the city on the 18th, continuing
little over one hour. The Courthouse was
totally demolished above the second story. The
LathrOp School Building was partially wrecked
and - children killed and great number Sc
yerely hurt. A factory in which a number of
girls were employed was also blown down and
several girls killed and some severely wounded.
One span of the railroad bridge across the
Missouri River was blown down, blocking up
several roads. Up TO the present date 20 per-
sons are positively know 10 have lost their
lives and a number more will undoubtedly die
from the severe injuries received. At Xenia,
o. about o'clock on the evening of the 18th
terrific storm commenced and lasted until
about nine o'clock, when the rain fell in most
extraordinary quantities, many supposing it to
be 8 cloudburst The spout struck the houses
on Water street and tore them 10 pieces as
though they were shells. One family by the
name Of Morris was completely swept away.
The last seen Of them was man at the win
dow waving lighted lamp. The next instant
the house disappeared and they were gone.
The body Of one boy, IL years of age, has been
discovered. The loss Of property is enormous.
Thirty-fve bodies have so far been discovered,
and great number of people are missing. The
storm was far-resching. At Danville, H.,
score of farm-houses were demolished and
several persons killed. At Jacksonville, in the
same State, the loss to property was also great
but no loss Of life has been reported. At Tip
tOB in the same State, great damage to property
was done and several fatalities occurred. A
large number Of horses and cattle were killed,
and great damage done to timber. At Attica,
Ind, more than 20 buildings were more or less
wrecked, and several lives lost. The storm also
visited Columbus Township. o., and did great,
damage. Its track was over one-quarter TO
one-half mile wide. The storm visited Will
kinson, Ind, and wrecked number of build
ings, besides killing aud injuring several per-
sons. At st. Louis, No., heavy storm occurred,
but did not do great amount of damage. IL
also reached the New Jersey coast and several
schooners and small vessels were driven ashore.
IL is impossible at this time 20 give a correct
estimate of the amount Of damage done, but
both in regard to loss of property and life will
be much heavier than is at present reported.

DEATH OF GEN. SCHoEPF.

Brig. Gen. Albin Schoepf died May 10 at his
home in Hyattsville, Md, few miles from
Washington. He was Hungarian by birth,
and was actively engaged with Louis Kossuth,
the Liberator, in the unsuccessful struggle
against Austria. After the defeat Of the Hun
garians the leaders in the strike for liberty
were obliged to fee the country. Sehoepf came
to the United States with Kossuth in 1852, and
remained here, his chief returning to Hungary
after the trouble had subsidized.
Schoepf had received thorough military
education in Europe. When the war of the
rebellion broke out, impelled by his love of lib
erty, he became an earnest supporter Of the
Union cause, and at once sought active service in
the field. He resigned the position he then held
in the Patent Office, and was commissioned q
Brigadier- General from Maryland, Sept.30, 1851.
He was assigned to duty with the Army Of the
Ohio, then operating in Kentucky. He first met
the enemy, under Zollicoffer, and defeated him
in brisk engagement at Wildcat, Oct. 81, 1861.

business men. Judge Rogers, in his charge,
said: "We hear good deal lately Of what con-
stitutes freedom Of speech. There is no eonsti-
tutional right for men to assemble and engage
in wild harangues and incendiary speech. If
men are melted to riot, arson, and other un-
lawful acts, the men responsible for them may
be held smenable for the results. Mere specta-
tors, mere lookers-on, are not the ones only,

crime are the guilty parties as we'll"

They Watched Him DIE.

On the 14th inst. an expressman named Bies,
living in Chicago, grew tired of life and deter
mined to end it by suicide. He accordingly
adjusted a noosed rope to the rafters in the
barn at the rear Of his dwelling, mounted a
box, placed his head through the loop, and
swung himself off. Just at that moment his
wife entered the barn and her screams for help
brought in the neighbors. The man was kick
Ing so furiously that no one dared go near to
cut him down, and the crowd stood around
watching the struggles growing fainter and
fainter. Finally, policeman entered and cut
the man down, but he was dead.
