WEST NEWTON, MASS, July 1S.-Rev.
o. D. Kimball, the pastor of the Baptist
church at West Newton and formerly a
clergyman of this place, has written let
ters to three Of his former parishioncrs
here confessing to unnatural crimes
charged against him last spring and ask
ing them TO forgive him rs they hope TO
be forgiven. At the time, Mr.. Kimball
denied with all the emphasis Of which
he was capable, that he was in any
measure guilty. The majority Of the
church people firmly believed the clergy
man was innocent and strongly held 10
the view that his accusers were guilty Of
wilful Misrepresentation. AIrs. Kim

Of the matter was that the five members
OF the church who testified before the
council were ANONYMOUSLY dismissed
from the church and branded Us gross
falsifers.
In his letters, Mr.. Kimball states that
he was guilty OF all that was alleged and
asks that those who have been expelled
be taken back into the church. lie

TERRA ALTA, W. Va, July l2.-Here
on the mountain top at seven O'Clock
yesterday morning, we had the first cy.
clone ever known. 1t was all over in a
minute, but what change! The streets
were full OF roofs, fences, trees and
everything else. Houses were lifted of
their foundations and the air was full Of
flying roofs. Although Worthington's
hotel was in the centre Of the storm, 1t
escaped uninjured. Mr.. WorthingtOn's
pet shade tree in front Of the hotel was
torn out by the roots, and his heart is
broken. FitzgeRld's big barn was COM
pletely destroyed, not stick left stand
ing. One house with three women in
il was picked up and set down Just over
run. The storm was in q streak, strik-
ing the centre OF the town. The rail.
road is blockaded with trees, as are all
the county roads.
A storm Of this kind was never known
here before, and II frightened the na.
tives almost TO death.
The new iron bridge at Albrightsville
is almost gone from the high water in
Cheat river.
Nothing has been heard from the
storm in the country, but great damage
must have been done.

special TO the Herald says: There does

for the report that the President pro.
poses vetOing the River and llarbOr bill.
The President was entirely satisfied
with the bill as it left the House, and
the members Of the committee do not
believe he will veto il simply because
the Senate has chosen to increase the
amount one and a half millions. The
bill is still in conference. II is expected
that the conierees will reach favorable
understanding tomorrow, or by Satur.
day at the latest, in which event it will
probably reach the President before the

statement may be regarded as absolute.
Is correct. There are two reasons
which impel Mr.. Lothrop to this course,
One is the condition of his health, which

Gus climate OF st. Petersburg. Another
reason, and this is probably more potent
Of the two, is that he is growing tired
