ST. LOUIS. July ia peculiar acci-
dent occurred at the Standard theatre last
night, resulting in the probably fatal burn
ing of Ed Hill and Michael Dryer, aged
10 and 81 respectively, and the severe IN
jury OF several other attaches OF the thea
tire. The men were engaged in fumigat-
ing the theatre with sulphuric acid, which
Hill and Dryer were pouring from stone
Jugs. Both jugs exploded at once scatter
ing the acid in every direction, and satu-
rating the clothing of both young men
and bespattering those standing near. Hill
and Dryer, nearly crazed with pain, ran
through the streets followed by a crowd
until caught by a policeman and taken to
the city %dispensary, where their burns
were dressed. In their flight they had
torn almost all their burning clothing off,
and reached the d~ispensary nearly nude.
The other wounded men were able to go
to the dispensary without assistance, but
they are severely injured.

A CLOUD BURST.
Terrible Destruction Wrought
at Wheeling, ". Va.
Railroad Bridges Swept by
the Waters
And a Large Number of
Persons Drowned.

WHEELING, July ia terrific rain
storm prevailed this evening flooding Gel
lars and distributing debris from the hill
sides on many ~thoroughtares and render
ing them impossible. While a number
OF people were standing on the bridge of
the Baltimore Il Ohio road spanning the
Wheeling river, it gave way, precipitating
twenty to thirty persons into the river.
Eight were rescued, but it is feared TWEEN
tY persons have persisted. AT Caldwell s
Run, In the lower part of the city, four
dwellings were swept away and eleven
persons we're drowned.
Particulars of the food showithat it is
simply appalling and everything is in such
a chaotic condition that details must be
late. At $50 the Baltimore & Ohio
wooden bridge at Main street was swept
away with from twenty-five to thirty per-
sons on it. Of these ten are known to be
saved. Several of the rescued are on a
towboat, which could not land at the
wharf owing to the current and had to
seek a landing lower down. The river
rose three feet in fifty minutes. Out at
National road, trains, coal chutes, houses
and all are gone. The Wheeling & Elm
Grove railroad was swept away for miles
and the roads covered six feet with water.
Over the river the ruin is even worse.
The storm lasted less than an hour.
On the upper end of Eoff street, high
on a hill in the second ward, the water
was over tons of stoves and like objects.
Wagons in the valley of Wheeling creek
were buried beneath the mud. The
Chaplain street and Eoff street bridge are
both gone, and the Wood street bridge is
impassable. Nine persons living on Cald-
wells Run are known to be drowned, and
six houses on Caldwells Run are gone
The list will doubtless be increased.
The loss in this city will reach $4,000,
and the damage to crops in the country is
inestimable. The ruin wrought by the
cloud burst out of town is awful, and can
only be as~certained definitely when means
Of communication are restored. Every
hour or so new fatalities are received.
a man named Kelly was washed away
by Bogg's Run and he and his horse
drowned. -Four lives were lost at Elm
Grove, five miles east.

The Burlington Case.

CHICAGO, July l9.-Much curiosity
was expressed to-day as to what the de-
tense in the Burlington dynamite case
would be. at the opening of court, Law
yer Donahue for the brotherhood asked
District Attorney Ewing If the prosecu-
ton had rested their case. Ewing nodded
his head in the affirmative. Then we
rest our case" said Donahue, and are
prepared to discuss proofs" Ewing,
however, declined to make any argument,
saying:
we simply ask that the defendants
be held on the evidence"
After an earnest address by each of the
two lawyers for the defense, Commission
er Hoyne said:
The prosecution has presented a good
probable case against the prisoners, and |
should not be performing my duty unless
| referred the charges against all the
prisoners to the grand Jury to pass upon
the mems guilt Or Innocence"
The court then ordered that the
amount of bail should remain as already
fixed, IS, 900 apiece. Efforts to exempt
Engineer Cooling from being held over
were in effect, as were also attempts to
have his bail reduced. Tho arguments Of
the defense was that there had been practi.
cally no evidence against Cooling. The
three prisoners. Broderick, Bauereisn and
GodlnR, were not allowed their liberty on
bail. All three were rearrested before
moving a step. State warrants were
used, the charge being the bringing of
dynamite into the state contrary to law.
Later in the day Bauereisn gave bond
in $1,000 for his appearance Saturday
next on the state charge. He was again
arrested on an Aurora warrant, charging
conspiracy, and was taken to Aurora this
evening.
A Times special from Aurora says:
Bauereisn was arrested today on four
warrants, which embody the charges here
tofore made of conspiracy to place in
jeopardy life and property by means of
dynamite. He was released on $1,000
bonds on two of the the charges and $500
on the Others.

New YORK, July l9.-The startling
story was brought to light to. day that Sis
ter Mary Frances Glare, known TO Chris.
tendon as the Nun of Kenmare,' had
renounced the Catholic faith; that her
case vas in some respects analogous to
that of Dr.: McGlynn, and hat the lady
had enlisted in the army of Father

ment are Father" James O'Connor, the
ex priest of No. GO Bible House, and
Gen. Michael Kirwin, the editor of Arch

hat for some time he had been in commu-
n~ication with the Nun of Kenmare; that
to him she had renowned the Catholic
faith, and that he himself would be her
escort to New York. Gen. Kirwin con
irmed the story and said that it came to
him from IAN excellent authority" a
reporter started for Englewood, N.
j., where, since last summer. the Nun of
Kenmare has been staying with the Sis
tiers of st. Cecilia The reporter found
that Sister Mary had left the convent
at Paradise Park some weeks ago and
