Destructive Storm.

kANKAKEE, H., July I7.-Ruin ms desc
lation mark the course of Fridays storm
through the section of country southwest Of
here. Hail was the principal agent of dcStruc-
ton. Commencing al a point one mile west
of Chebanse and extending two and three
miles northwest, thence almost retrdeing its
course toward the southeast, To a point be-
tween Cliftan and Ashkum. the storm now
ed a swath three To four miles wide, destroy
ing 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 Il sickle. Not
only are these crops cut To pieces by hail but
they are in many instance fairly pounded
into the ground. In many farms one dollar
would be a big price for last seasons labor.
Every window ON the north side ofthe build
ings in the track of the storm is riddled, and
houses and barns were unrooicd aud stock
killed. Adam Fritz. in Pilot township, was
struck by lightning and killed. In the town

The Drouth in the Northwest.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July l5.-The hot wave
in the northwest continues with all its force.
with the exception of this immediate yieini-
~. Yesterday morning reports from the
northwest beyond jamestown and Bismarck
showed the mercury was still hanging around
thei loo mark. This kind of weather is sup
posed to be doing the crops nogood, although
it is not probable that much injury is being
done. In central and eastern Minnesota and
Dakota the weather is more favorable. and
the crops are doing very well. The worst
complaints now come from Jim Run Val
ley, where it is very hot and dry, and from
sections along the Iowa and Minnesota di-
visions of the Milwaukee road. Chinch bugs
are said 10 be working i'll many fields around
Lake City, but are doing no serious damage
to crops.
In the Black Hills country the outlook Is
promising. The rain Of a week ago did a
great deal of good, hut il did not cover the
entire agricultural country surrounding the
hills, and the grain in districts not reached
by the rainfall is in very poor condition.
Even where farmers nave made use of irri-
eating bitches the grain has been dried up
to some extent by the hot winds of the past
few days, There is one thing favorable in
the situation, and that IS. the grain was gem
orally backward when the extremely hot
weather commenced. Cooler weather and
more rain would improve it even now.
Al Fort Eao.,h Mont Yesterday tho NOR
curry reached a maximum of 10 degrees in
the shade. There has been no rain here for
a month.

uttering cries of defiance and threats of re-
vcnge. The Prutestants were beaten by sheer
numbers and many of their houses were af-
terward wrecked. The twenty-three prison
ers, while on their way to the police station,
sang Rule Britannia = and cursed Pope,
Parnell and sexton,
In the rioting the police and soldiers char
ged the rioters several times and at last sue

The situation at Waterford is serious. The
streets are patrolied by police and cavalry.
Belfast was quiet this evening. InyeSti-
CATION shows that most of the fighting was

the latter a~ssailing the officers because they
prevented the Oranecnien from attacking the
Catholios. Policeman Gardner, who was re-

evening. Two civilians, Mac Waters and

Tin from Dakota.

CHICAGO. July 1.-THE first tin ore ever
taken out in the Western Hemisphere ar
rived at the Northwestern Railway station
to-day from the Black Hills, Dakota, on It's
way TO New York. The importance OF this
fact will be better understood when it is stat
ed that the United States now import s30,-
10000 worth of tin annually. The ore,
which will reach this city to-day. is from
the mines of a company doing business at
Harney's Peak, and which owing TO the
amount Of money which has been subscribed
and the fact that it has taken possession of
the great tin deposit covering an area Of over
1000 square miles, must he looked upon a.

Company, who is now in this city, said to-

Employe Absconds.


PrrrsBURGH, July Is.-Samuel X. Gay.
Chief Clerk of the Pittsburgh Pension Office.
has probably goue To Canada to join the
great army of hank Cashiers. Yesterday
afternoon Pension Agent Errett discovered
that Gay had forged his name To three checks
-aggregating $500. An information for for
gerry was made before United States Com
missioner McCandless, and a warrant was
issued for his arrest, but before the officer
could serve it Gay got wind Of the move
ment and left the city.
The forgery of the three checks constitute
but a fraction of the sum of money which it
is supposed hat Gay got away with, and II
is believed that the amount rom forgery and
embezziement will reach $4,000 to $4,000.
Several weeks ago an investigation of the
accounts ofthe Pension Agent in Pittsburgh
was made, and il was then found that there
were several discrepancies, involving consid-
cradle sums of money. There was every
evidence of ENLIGHTENMENT, covered by falsi-
fication of the books. Mr.. Errett was then
notified by the Treasury Department TO look
after his clerk. as some one was doing wrong.
Nothing else was heard of the matter until
last evening, when Mr.. Errctt telegraphed TO
Washington that Gay had a~bsconded-
Gay was the son of wealthy parents, and
some years ago married a relative of Mayor
Fulton. He was an exemplary young man

active in the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, and a prominent leader in the Muir
ply Temperance movement. He took great
interest in lectures by clergymen, and was
the head and 'front.' of nearly all movements
to bring Taimage 10 Pittsburgh. Even his
most intimate friends never saw anything in
his conduct that would arouse suspicion.
