A KANSAS CYCLONE,

Girard Damaged to the Extent Of $S,-
900 and Several People Hurt.
GIRARU, Kas, Nov. "a cyclone
or electrical storm struck Girard at
$50 this morning and passed through
the residence portion Of the town from
southwest to northwest The path of
the storm was only fifty to seventy
five feet wide. All the lighter build.
ings were demolished, but the larger
and more substantial buildings stood
the shock without much damage.
The total damage will not exceed $s,-
600. The Presbyterian Church is
wrecked. A number of persons were
injured. John w. Heron was blown
out of his house, cut about the head
and internally injured and may die.
His wife had her arm cut and a child
was burned. John A. Kennedy had
an arm broken, and Mrs. Kennedy was
injured by hot stove, but will rccov-
cr. Matte Goodin, aged sixteen, was
injured internally, part ola roof fall
ing on her. She is in critical condi-
ton. William Smith, an aged man,
was in his house when it was turned
bottom side up, and vinegar barrel
fell on him, and his injuries are seri-
Gus. Outside of Girard the damage
was slight.

Hoxic, vice president and general
manager Of the Missouri Pacific rail
way, died at 2:sO yesterday morning at
his rooms in the Metropolitan Opera
House, in this city. The cause Of death
was exhaustion consequent upon an
operation performed OH him at Sara
toga in June last, in removing stones
from the bladder. He has also suffered
from a kidney disease for the last
thirty-five years. He has been very
weak for the last seven days, but the
doctors had great hopes of his recov-
cry. The patient began to sink rapidly
at o'clock Monday evening, but was
conscious to the last. Mrs. Hoxie and
Capt. Hayes were with him when he
expired. The body will be cmbalmed
and taken to Des Noines, Iowa, where
tho funeral services will take place

Farm Hands Striking.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 24-The or
ganization of the negroes on the plan
tations in st. Mary's parish into
Knights of Labor lodges, and the re-
cent strike on Fairview plantation,
which threatens ultimately every
sugar farm in the State, is the subject
of much discussion among planters
throughout the sugar region. The
planters will organize for self-pro-
lection. Speaking of the strike a
local paper says: "There is not in the
history Of this country an organization
Of planters or farmers which has had
the power 10 cypress labor"

Labor Candidate.

BosToN, Nov. 24.--It now seems az
if The Boston laboringmen will have a
distinct, lively labor candidate at the
coming municipal election. Geo. r,
McNeill, chairman of District Assem-
bly, No. so, Knights of Labor, will be
the standard bearer, agreeing to run
if the 1000 signers to the pledge will
vote for him. Between 1000 and 5000
had been obtained up to Saturday
night, and no doubt the list will be
filed before Thursday. Henry George,
Of New York, is behind McNeill, and
if the latter is nominated George will
take the stump for him in this city.
McNeill had a conference with George
in New York Saturday, and the above
arrangement is the result thereof.

TIMELY REDUCTIONS !

Have brought us their reward. Where all prices
are equally low customers are very particular
about selections They must have just what they
want. In cases, however, where some things are
made specially low, goods can be pushed that we
have special object in selling The extraordinary
rush Of the past few weeks has resulted in leaving
us a large number Of Remnants and Odd Lots.
We have made money on the bulk and the balance
is sold irrespective Of COST This has been and is
still the case in the following departments:
Caks and Suits for Ladies Misses Clothing
and Children nishing Goods
Dress Goods Foreign and
caded Novelties Domestic
Carpets snd Curtains Boots and Shoes

The January Weather puzzle.

The Bangor Wing of Wednesday says;
1.-The weather of the past few days puzzles
everybody Previous to yesterday afternoon
there had been an almost continual drizzle
for three days, but yesterday it commenced
raining hard and continued throughout the
afternoon and the greater part of the night
The sleighing in Bangor has disappeared al
most wholly, and there is mud in many plac-
es. The brooks are very much swollen every
where and the stream and river feel the eff
fects of the storm. The ice left the Kendus-
keag stream above the bridge Yesterday af-
ternoon and also left the main river near
Hampden. The icemen for the most part
want the thaw to continue until the river is
clear in order to carry away the slush and
snow ice on their fields. Last night every
thing seemed to indicate that this would be
the case Business has been almost suspend
ed in this cityf0r the past few days. The re-
ports from up river indicate that the storm
has been severely felt there The amount of
snow in the woods has been greatly reduced
and the roads are soft and bad to haul
upon"
1t has rained very hard at Greenyille and
all around the lake, but Tuesday the sleigh
ing there still continued, and the stage went
from Greenville to KineO upon the ice Gully
a very little more rain will be required, it is
thought, to break up the ice in Moosehead.
Numerous stages are running about the lake
this winter, among them the one above men,
toned; another from Greenville to Lily Bay,
from the latter place to Shaw's Hotel, and
Morrison & Hunting run one from Shaw'S to
their hotel at Roach River.

Cooperage.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The cooperage question is an interesting
subject just now. 1t not only interests
shook manufacturers and dealers in that
class of goods, but the shipbuilding and own
ers' interests in certain class oil vessels
built expressly for this trade are equally af-
fected in all the sea ports on the Atlantic
coast, especially Maine.
There have been built for many years, Gun
til the last two or three more or less suita-
BILE vessels for the East India trade, giving
employment to ship carpenters, and the bus
mess has been quite remunerative to the
owners. But since the depression in cooper
age no vessels are being built and there is no
satisfactory employment for those we have,
SO that vessels for this particular trade must
lie still or work for barely enough to pay
their expenses, and many for not even that
The port charges in Cuba are so high that
the smaller vessels of this class cannot run
out in ballast for home cargo at rates that
have been ruling for the last three years
The Spanish government four years ago
imposed an export tax on all caTgOeS leaving
this country, to be paid by the vessels own
ers to the Spanish Consul before clearing.
The tax amounted to about one cent a shook,
or ten cents per ton. This we, as shipown-
ers feel keenly, and think it unjust, and I'M
less Congress can do something to restore
this class of business to its former prestige,
or nearly so, the parties who are interested
in cooperage and the carTyage OF the same
will have to give up the business and let Eu-
rope furnish the bags and England the
freight steamers for carrying the sugar to the
United States for our consumption.
This is bad state of things and we hope
speedy actions may be taken by Congress to
relieve the depression in this branch of bus
mess.
We fully endorse what Messrs Lord &
Hight and J. H. Hamlen & Son are doing to
get this matter before Congress and we hope
these efforts may be crowned with success.
