SIBLEY, To-, April 5.-A tornado,
wind and hail storm swept over this
place at 1890 p. m. yesterday, doing
I considerable damage to property.
1 Without moments warning the wind
arose from a slight breeze to hurrl-
cane, and in very short space of time
|fchimneys, fences, lumber and other
available property were torn from their
resting places and hurled through the
air at violent rate of speed. Building
material of all kinds in the yard OF
James Davidson was picked up, torn to
atoms, carried squares away and lodged
in trees and out districts. The storm
had a mania for chimneys, many being

but aside from few slight bruises no
harm was done. A box car in the B.,
c. q N. switch yard was blown over on
it's side, and other and more serious
damage was done. The wind mill of
j. M. Farwell was blown down and
completely demolished, entailing loss
SO, 600. This was one OF the
largest wind mills in the
state, being used to pr0pel grlSt mill
machinery. The agricultural ware
house belonging to Grant & Hanon was
rent by the blow, and now stands at an
angle of forty-fve degrees, the damage
Of which is about $1,000. A wind mill
belonging to Armour, near town, was
also badly damaged. After the chimney

house caught fire, and but for prompt
action would have burned to the ground,
and was damaged SIS. Reports are COM

One building was also re-
ported partly unroofed in Hol-

that ever visited this country. and the

A Notorious Career.

Speclal 10 tne GlODe.
MADISON, Wis, April 5.-JOhn Cur
ran, who killed w. w. HaZeltine, at
Stevens Point Tuesday, has very no.
toriOus career in this city. For several
years he was prominent figure during
the legislative session, when he used to
buck the tiger with the Wisconsin So
Ions and initiate them into the mysteries
of certain political accomplishments.
During the session of 1881, when Phile-
tuS Sawyer was elected to the United
States senate, Curran was his local rep
resentative and conducted his campaign,
handling all. the funds for the lumber
king and paying for the wines and sup
perS. Both John and his brother Henry
were well known here in early days,
when they were notorious gamblers and
politicians. Several years ago Henry
Curran was shot and wounded by Curt
Wyehs, a gambler, in the Villas house
bar room, over quarrel growing out of
a faro game. The remains of the muir
dered Hazeltine arrived here this morn
ing and were taken to the home of his
parents, in the town of Brooklyn, six
teen miles from this city.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Seven Men Fearfully Burned by
Molten Iron.

New YORK, April 5.-A terrible acct
dent occurred to-day at the Delamater
Iron works. Seven men were casting
an iron mould. They stood on plank
crossing a pit in which was the mould,
holding an iron lade containing 200
pounds of molten iron. In some way
the plank slipped and threw the molten
liquid over the men. Four men were
removed to st. Vincent's hospital, two
of whom are dying. The injuries of
three others were attended to and the
men were sent home. Those who sur
vived will be frightfully disfigured.
When the plank gave way the men were
thrown into the pit and the molten iron
was thrown oversthem. The four men
seriously burned are J. b. Lawrie, aged
thirty, of Jersey City; Peter Barton,
aged twenty-one, of 430 West Nine
teenth street, both of whom will prOba-
bly, die; Peter Delanev, aged twenty
three, and Hugh Mulihan, aged twenty
six, who may recover. The plank on
which the men stood, holding the
ladle containing 200 pounds of iron, was
only fourteen inches wide. The blame
for the affair has not been placed.

MORE BINDING.
A Pharmacy Bill Passed by the
Iowa Legislature.

"A f0dfIndCy Dill IdSsCu ny siAO
Iowa Legislature.
Special to the Globe
Dies MONIES, To-, April 5.-The SEN
ate continued the consideration of the
pharmacy bill this morning and at 4
o'clock in the afternoon it was passed
under suspension of the rules, all the
Democrats but Taylor, of Davis, voting
against it. But very few amendments
were made to the bill. Under its pro-
visions manufacturers and wholesale
dealers are driven out of the business.
The druggist must have county per-
NIT, is authorized to administer Oaths
and each purchaser must swear that he
wants the article for lawful use. The
seller must know the purchaser is of
good moral character, unaddcted to the
use of intoxicants, and if he does not
use the article purchased for the pur-
pose he swearS he buys it for, the
dealer and his clerks are held re-
sponsible. The penalties are of
the severest kind. The GLOBE
correspondent has not talked
with responsible druggist who has
not asserted that under this law it will
be impossible to handle intoxicating
liquors for any purpose except for COM
pounding. After disposing of this bill,
another temperance measure was taken
up and passed. 1t provides for facili-
tating injunctions, and a section of it
was amended so that packages contain
ing liquor shipped into the state to
others than permit holders shall be
branded on the outside with the full
name of the consignee, the kind of
goods contained, etc., and if it is dis
covered that any Misrepresentation as
whom intended, the package is subject
to seizure. No method of ascertaining
these material points is provided, but it
is probably expected that Pierce, Potts
and their comrades in iniquity will have
cleared themselves from the clutches of
the grand jury by the time this law
takes effect, so that they will be ready
to resume business again.

three reports. The second report
sounded something like the first. only
about five seconds after the first. After
the second one heavy body fell to the

After the third report started for the
door and saw Billings on the sidewalk.
When 1 got to the door heard some one
calling for me. That was before | had

me. Mr.. Byers was dentist. Mr.. ByerS'
Office was in the rear of Mr.. KingSley's

Office is twenty-fOur feet from the head

point the witness was excused and j..
Hanchett, boot and shoe dealer, whose
business is in the building adjoining the
one In which Kingsley had his office,
was called and answered the interroga-
tories of the state in about the same
manner as the first witness in regard to
the finding of Kingsley's body, stating,
however, that he was the first one to
move Kingsley's body. The witness
was then excused, subject to being
called in the morning, and tine court adj

There was publication in one of these
papers this morning describing the al

PAUL GROTTKAU,
The Milwaukee Socialist, Will
Serve His Sentence.

MILWAUKEE, April 5.-The case of
Paul GrOttkau is once more on the
docket of the municipal court for con-
sideration by Judge Sloan this morning.
Nearly year ago the notorious agitator
was sentenced to years imprisonment
for participating in the Milwaukee Car
den riots. The case was taken to the
supreme court, which few weeks ago
rendered decision sustaining the trial
and verdict. 1t was then claimed by w.
III. Ebbetts, Grottkau's attorney, that
although the latter had been out on bail
since the trial, his sentence in reality
began on May 3, 1887, the day of his con-
viction, and that it would be manifest
error to compel him to commence now
the serving of his years Imprisonment.
Judge Sloan has taken three weeks to
look into the validity of this remarkable
plea, but it is considered tolerably GER
tain that his decision will be against it,
and that the noted agitator will, for the
next ten months, be immured in the
walls of the house of correction.

PhOsphates and Kerosene.

BALTIMORE, April 5.-At an early
hour this morning a large one-story
warehouse on Hooper's wharf was dis
covered to be Oh fire and the fremen
responded quickly. Its contents were
coal Oil and phosphates belonging to
GI fifth & Co., and were destroyed. The
burning Oil ran under the adjoining
warehouse containing 600 barrels of coal
oil, which, with its contents, was also
destroyed. The damage is now esti-
mated at $4,000. The burning oil ran
over the wharf to the water in the har-
Dor, which for time was sheet of
flame. A number of small vessels were
lying near. all of which escaped serious
injury, except small sloop, which was
caught and her sails and rigging de-
stroyed. A change of the wind, which
blew the flames back toward the wharf,
materially aided in saving the sailing
craft,
