100000 employees, that 10000 have secured
concessions without striking, and that not over
$1,000 of the 100000 strikers have secured
their ends. This indicates that over 190Oo0
employees are working fewer hours Fer day
than one month ago, small proportion of the
total number claiming to be interested. With
the favorable change in the industrial outlook
general business is reported to have made some
advances.

STORM-DAMAGE ELSEWHERE.
Wreck and Ruin i'm Illinois, Indiana, and
Ohio

.raA
The storm which did such fearful work
at Xenia was reaching, extending
throughout Northern and Central Illinois,
Central indiana, and Central Ohio. The
winds blew hurricane and the rain fell in
torrents, flooding streams, and washing
away bridges, culyerts, and farm fences.
At Dayton. Ohio, the rainfall measured
four and half inches in three hours. Ii
is roughly estimated that the damage to
property in Ohio alone will reach
S500,0O0. Many of the railroads were
seriously crippled by washouts. In
diana suffered severely from this phenom-
email meteorological disturbance. At Kemp
ton many houses were partially wrecked,
one man killed, and several wounded. At
Wilkinson the storm blew down all the
buildings in town except three. Sam
uel White was killed, and his wife was
fatally injured. A boy named Shatfer was
also killed, and about twenty persons seri-
ously hurt, several of whom will die. At La
fayette the Court House and the Roman
Catholic and German Methodist Churches
were badly damaged, two large carpenter
shops burned to the ground by the light
ming, and numbers of smaller buildings de-
molished. At Attica the buildings of the
Attica Milling Company the Revere House,
the Hess and Harvey Carriage Factory the
smaller business houses were DESTROYED.
Over 700 people are homeless, four were
killed outright and two more fatally injured,
while n large number are seriously hurt.
The aggregate losses at Attica will be in the
neighborhood of 100000 Seventy build
ings were hit hard, being half demolished
or entirely annihilated. One of the many
losses at Attica will be of valuable shade
trees, the district swept over being almost
entirely devastated in this respect. At
Williamsport several houses were wrecked,
two persons killed, and number badly in
jured. At Logansport property was dam
aged to the amount of 0,000 In the vi
cinity of Richmond houses and barns we're
wrecked, whole woods ruined. some stock
killed, and one barn destroyed by lightning.
Reports from Upton. Taylor's, Monon,
and intermediate points show great loss of
property, live stock, and crops. Many per-
sons are reported injured from all points,
and it seems miraculous that the loss of
life was SO small. The Wabash River in
undated the crops along its valley and ru-
ined them. In Illinois the storm was not
so violent, though much damage was in
ficted in certain sections. Near East
Lynn, Rossville, and Potomac a number
of houses were demolished and five persons
killed. The country was deluged by the
tremendous rainfall. The damage by the
storm In 10 Daviess County will exceed
$4,000. Buildings We're unroofed, glass
broken, and fences leveled. Several houses
were wrecked in the vicinity of Jackson

SPENCER CLAwSON.
The Only Exclusively Wholesale
Dry Goods House in Utah
The Millinery Trade-Re-
suits of Five Years
Growth.

1t is FIVE years ago in March next
since Spencer Clswson conceived the
idea that house devoted exclusively to
the wholesale trade in dry goods mad a
broad opportunity to flourish in this
city. In March. 1882. he opened in the
north portion of the quarters he now
occupies and set himself to work to let
the country purchasers of this region
know that there was an Institution born
which proposed to devote itself ex-
ciusiYely to the task of salts flying

his new venture became an assured

Will devote considerable attention next
spring is that OF millinery; and as in
dry goods and notions, he will be the
only wholesale house engaged in that
direction II has become very evident
from the number of millinery establish
ments which have sprung up in the
country towns during the past year
or so, that the taste for neater and inner
apparel is disappearing, and Mr..
Clawson thinks there is good field for
a wholesale millinery house. He visits
New York in person each season to
MAKE his own selections Of the best pre-
yailing styles and fashions, and his
opening display oil mill lery goods will
be found TO be fully up 20 the standard
maintained by his selections in other
lines.
Mr.. Clawson's stock of goods for this
season was selected under his own eye
but few months ago in the east; ne
has enjoyed a very successful fall
trade, and is in receipt of orders, not
only from all parts of Utah, but from a
considerable section of Idaho as well.

THAT FENCE.
Spillett'S Persistence in Stopping
Up a Public Highway.

In the Third District Court. yester-
day, the case of James Spillett against
Salt Lake County was allied up, when
Mr.. Moyle interposed a demurrer to
the complaint, which was taken under
adyisement. The suit is for $1,000
damages, alleged to have been done the
plaintiff, in the pulling down of fences
belonging to him. 1t is made to ap-
pear that complainant entered quarter
section in South Cottonwood precinct,
and the land lay on both sides of a
public highway, which had been used
as such for quarter of q century. The
fence put up by Mr.. Spillett ran across
the road indicated, and travel in that
direction was impeded. In order to
avoid tronble, the County officials prof
cred 20 grade a road around the
land, but they were met by refusal,
and the fence was put up, taken down
and put up as often as taken down.
The decision on the demurrer will be
awaited with interest.

FOR THE FRIENDS In PRISON.
The Inhabitants of the Pen are
Duly Remembered.

At intervals during the day yester-
day, there arrived at the City Hall,
bags and boxes, packages and casketsr
in great numbers. each one containing
some delicacy for a friend, brother
father or husband, and which will be
sent out to the Penitentiary this morn
ing. Little toddlers came with bundles
in their arms and smiles upon their
faces, and deposited their loads with a
look OF satisfaction and JOY that was
pleasant to witness, and departed with
light hands and light hearts.
Each gift was duly labelled with
the name OF the person for whom
il was intended, and the pleasure with
which the goods will be received by the
prisoners Is equalEd by the eagerness
with which the donors took advantage
of the kindness Of Marshal DYER.
One Of the sights Of the day
was a little girl, probably s years
OF age who cane in with q

asked who II was for, she replied: This
