DAMAGED BY HAIL AND WIND.
Crops in Grant County Seriously Injured by
Violent Wind and HaiI-Storm.

Crops in Grant County Seriously Injured by q
Violent Wind and HaiI-Storm.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MARION, July 12.-Grant county was visited
this afternoon, by one Of the most severe and
destructive rain and hailstorms that has swept
over this section in long time. 1t was accom-
panied by vivid lightning. and loud thunder, and
terrific wind that at times amounted almost to
hurricane. In town, shade trees, chimneys,
roofs, signs and spires, and in the
country, buildings, fences, timber and crops
were wrecked and ruined to the extent of thou
sands OF dollars. The wheat, which is in shock,
was blown all over the country, and in places
was carried into adjoining forests. The corn
was blown down and riddled with hail, and in
some localities is totally ruined. Six miles
south of town the hail was SO abundant that it
could have been shoveled up by the bushel. At
Grindle's farm, six miles north of town, where
men were engaged in thrashing, q wagon loaded
with sixty bushels of wheat pushed a dis
lance of twenty feet There are no means at
hand, at this writing, for estimating the extent
of the damage but it will extend into the thou
sands. The damage to timber is reported as
specially severe, many of the pixies leading into
town being impossible by reason of the trees
blown across them. No fatalities have, as yet,
been reported. Crops in this county were
parching and drying up from the heat and
drought, and the rain was a welcome visitor
The damage sustained, however, will consider
ably overbalance the benefit derived.

KANKAKEE, ILL.,. July l2.-Ruin and desolation
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 point one mile west of Che
banze, and extending two or three miles north
west, thence almost retracing its course toward
the southeast to a point between Clifton and
Ashkum, the storm moved swath three to four
miles wide, destroying every species of vegeta-
ton 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 har-
vester had passed through them, and
to-day scores of farmers were raking up
these crops which have never felt the touch Of a
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, 81

Not a One-Crop Road.

"Phil" Armour has been considerably sneered
at for his renewed bullish talk on Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul, says The Hour, and for his
statement that the road gets barely 10 per cent
of its earnings from the transportation of wheat
Whether this statement is strictly correct or not
is difficult to tell, but rs far back as 1880 and
1881, Alexander Mitchell made exactly the same
statement to his New York friends whom he en-
ticed to go into the st. Paul bonds and Stock
and who all have made money in both. Sitting in
Delmonicos, pencil in hand and private presi-
dents reports in sight, he figured out to men like
the late Seaver, of Harper Brothers. Lorenzo and
Charley Delmonico, and others of the same ilk,
that 90 per cent Of the st. Paul roads earnings
came from the transportation of building mate
rial, household goods, tools and machinery, fur
nisure, lager beer. cattle, poultry and no end of
similar things indispensable for the accommoda-
ton of mass of German and other emigrants
spreading themselves through the territories of
the road with amazing rapdIty. Like Armour
to-day, he argued that the road was not depend
emit upon the transportation of grain, that it was
not what is called one-crop road, and went so
far in his demonstration of this as to induce
somebody to suggest to him that it would pos
sibly be much better for the St Paul il that re-
gion did not grow any wheat all, for then the
road would have to bring it all in. "Well, yes"
answered the canny Scotchman.

want the Fourth of July Changed.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
There will be meeting of American citizens
at the scoool-house at Castieton, Ind. on Satur-
day, the 18th day of July. 1886, at o'clock p NJ.
to consider the propriety of celebrating the
fourth day of July ON some other day than the
fourth day of July.
In this latitude farmers are taxed mentally
and physically SO much that if they do set apart
that day-as all good citizens are won't to do-to
celebrate the birth of American independence
and TO keep in perpetual remembrance the
names of the great souls who proclaimed and es
tablshed our national independence, we are in
capacitated from fatigue of mind and body to
enjoy such an occasion as We would like, and it
is generally so that farmers cannot without
great financial sacrifice to themselves and to
their country, neglect their business on that day
many citizens. Everybody is invited to attend.

Poo, Per Gents.


Below is given the correct award CT Commits

which were as follows: Louisville, New Albany
& Chicago, per cent; Cincinnati indianapolis,
St. Louis & Chicago, 6 per cent; Wabash and
Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton, each 90 per
cent; Cincinnati, St Louis & Pittsburg 10 per
cent; Indiana Bloomington e. Western, 21.5 per
cent; Decline, 295 per cent. While there is
more or less talk among the freight men at this
point of being dissatisfied with the award,
those in high official position express the
opinion that the award will be accept
ed Possibly one or two roads, for effect, will

roads that have the least grounds for complaint
1t should be borne in mind that these awards
cover only business originating at indianapolis
proper. The most interesting part of the pool
ing business out Of Indianapolis proper is yet to
be settled. We refer to the live stock per cents.
IE the year 1885 the Beeline carried 60 per cent.
of the live stock out of indianapolis, and the

1t should be said in justice to the c., ST L. & P.
that since Jan. l their shipments of live stock
have gained somewhat on the Bee-line, but still
drop considerably behind. the fact is that
Western shippers have for so many years for
warded their stock over either the Beeline or
the Panhandle that 1t will be difficult to divert
this business to either Of the other lines above
mentioned, and it is no exaggeration to state
that under the most favorable circumstances it
is quite difficult for either of the competitors OF
the Decline or Panhandle to make as good time
as they do with their facilities.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.



To the Editor of The indianapolis journal:
The following is q translation of a letter I
wrote to the German Telegraph of the 7th inst,
and desire you to publish it. c. VoNNEGUT.
INDrASApoLIs, July IL.
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
In your yesterdays report of the transactions
of the School Board meeting. your reporter
says that Messrs. Greenstreet and Won
negut made an unjust attack upon Mr.. Fren-
eel AS he did not say what the nature
of this attack was you will allow me
TO explain il. It was neither mean nor unjust
but, the contrary, fully justified and belonging
to the duties of the committee on finance,
especially as Mr.. FrenZel had repeatedly boasted
of his unselfshness. Mr.. Frenzel, as treasurer
of the School Board. on warrant, drew, on the
14th of June $40, GOD. and On the 10th, 500. 400
from the county and city treasurer, Mr.. ii. w.
Miller, although the latter called his attention to
on which the latter. 500. 400. should properly be
credited. Mr.. Frenzel. however, insisted on
having the same paid over to him, although the
School Board was not in want of this money.
By this arrangement the School Board fund
lost the running interest on this amount-$29. 400
for fifteen days at per cent. SOC. CO. On the
ground of this loss sustained by the School Board
and gained by Mr. Frenzel. Messrs. Greenstreet
and Vonnegut declared that they, in the name of
the School Board, would bring in bill against

Messrs. Greenstreet and Vonnegut are ready to
prove the correctness of this statement, and
further, to prove the truth OF the finance com
mstees former charges against Mr.. Frenzel, al
though the latter calls them calumnies
Ii is true that the notes due to the county
treasurer, Mr.. Miller, were not due until the LIST
of July, but he called Mr. Frenzels attention TO
the agreement by which he was bound to re-
ceive at any time and credit On said notes such
amounts as the School Board could spare from
the school tax that he had to deliver to the
School Board. Therefore the excuse of Mr.
Frenzel that he did not know of this agreement
is invalid CLEMENS VoNNEGUT.
