PARKERsBURG, w. VA, July S.-Two
terribly destructive storms visited this
section yesterday afternoon and tonight.
Rain fell in torrents, accompanied by bril-
liant lightning. The streets were flooded
all over the city, and in the lower parts
cellars were filed with water. The foun-
dations of Q fine block of buildings, being
erected by W. N. Chancellor, was badly
undermined, with heavy loss. Great holes
are in the sidewalks, trees are down and
other damage is done. Tonight second

thing.
Reports from outside Of town are that
the crops, fences, barns and bridges from

Kanawha and line of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, have suffered terribly.
Two fatalities, John Thompson, who was
struck by lightning, and Howard James,
who was drowned while attempting to
ford . swollen stream, are reported from
across the Ohio. The storm was wide
spread in its range, aud when the interior

How Sheridan Was Removed from the
Swatsra at NoDquitt.
NEW BEDFORD, MASS, July 8.-Gen.
Sheridan, whose expected coming has
been leading theme Of conversation here
for week past, arrived to-day. As soon as
the ship was sighted the shore and landing
place were thronged by curious spectators,
rs well as by friends of the General.
After about an hours delay, several boats
left the Swatara for the shoGe. In the
first boat were Mrs. Sheridan and two
Sisters of Charity, who have been faith ful
attendants upon the General. A party
of sailors was in the second boat.
These boats pulled to the landing, where
the party landed, and the women at once
proceeded to the new cottage erected for
Gen. Sheridan. At the same timea launch
belonging to the ship, towing boat in
which was = stretcher whereon the General
rested, steamed in toward the shore to the
north and nearly opposite the cottage. As
the boat came into shallow water, a dozen
sailors waded ont TO it, and carefully and
tenderly lifted the stretcher mp and bore 1t
to the shore. The crowd OF spectators,
among whom were anumbero Of photograph
ers, pressed forward in the hope Of getting a
view of the Generals features. They were
disappointed, however, for u large um-
brella, which was held over him to shield
him from the suns rays, also acted as an
sffectual barrier to curiosity.

Chairman HOgs Threatens 10 Tie Up All Roads
that Enter Chicago il the Prosecution

CHICAGO, Ills, July S.-A local paper
says: "If the present crisis in the affsirs
Of the two great brotherhOods does not re-
suit in general strike, it will not be the
fault of the radical faction. Their leaders
were busy yesterday 'bracing up the
more conservative members Of the two
organizations. Hoge is the recognized
leader of the Radicals, and voiced the gen.
eral sentiment when he said: eff the
railroads, through the dictation of the
Burlington, are ready to declare open war
upon the Brotherhoods, we are ready for
them. Il is claimed-snd am inclined
to believe the statement is true-that
wholesale arrests of men prominent in the
present strike will be made when Stone, Of
the Burlington, gives the word. have
said before, and say it again, that if any
such thing takes place, every road in Chi
cago will be tied up inside of thirty-six
hours"
"Are the men ready and willing to make
such a mover"
Are they ready and willing? | should
say they were. Do you imagine that they
would tamely submit to the consummation
of such an outrage? No, sir; they will
not"
This kind of talk was not confined to the
Burlington strikers. During the evening
engineers from the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st, Paul, the Chicago and North
western, and the Ft Wayne and other
roads called upon Hoge and held long con-
sultations. The complete failure of the
strike, added to the ranks of the radicals
in all OF the divisions. The
80" strike has been the topic
of discussion in every brotherhood
meeting held since the strike was declared
over four months ago. The radicals have
jumped at every pretext and sought to
precipitate ike.
Daring tho last two months a central
organization has been quietly formed, en-
bracing representatives from every road
leading to Chicago. II has been impossible
to ascertain the exact nature of the agcee-
ment existing between the members OF the
association.

FOR LEADERSHIP.
The Hot Battle Going On Between New
and Dudley.

The Hot Battle Going On Between New
and Dudley.
WASHINGTON, July S.-There is q
great deal of interesting gossip inside
Republican circles relating to some Of the
late candidates, and to the management of
the campaign for Harrison. Concerning
the campaign there is some uneasiness ex-
pressed with regard to the situation in
Indiana. W. w. Dudley and John c.
New are entitled to all credit for the
nomination of Harrison. This has been
accorded both of these able politicians
Bat that is not the reward they are seek
ing. But one prominent Indianan can
receive Cabinet position in case of Har-
rison's election, and the question which
bothers the friends of Dudley and the fol-
lowers of New is, (which one shall it be?'
The story has gone forth that Gen. Hsr-
riSon has asked Dudley to take charge OF
his campaign. This is denied by the New
men. The latter don't say, however, that
Dudley will not have great prominence in
the coming campaign, but they wish it
understood that John G. New is to be in
the first rank.
One thing that botbers Indiana Rspub-
licans a good deal. and News friends in
particular, is the fact that the Indianapolis
Journal is always fighting the Typographi-
cal Union. In this respect New occupies
the same position with reference to Hsrri-
son in the campaign that Whitelaw Reid
did in the last to Blaine. New has al
ready been approached by Harrison men
with regard to the management of his
paper, and the danger of injecting into the
coming contest, to Harrison's disadvant-
age, his private fight with the union.
New, like Whitelaw Reid, resented this
hint, and declared, so the report goes, that
he would run his paper to suit himself,
and that he would never give in to the
Typographical Union or to any other
union, no matter whose fate depended
upon it, This is quite handicap to Mr..
New to carry, and the Dudley wing OF
psrtisans count hopefully on the freedom
of their chief from all such embarrassing
complications.
The feeling between the Indiana man.
ayers has developed 10 such an extent that
it is charged that New is not entitled to
any great credit for the final outcome al
Chicago, because he gave up the fight for
Harrison on Friday in the same way that
Foraker gave up the fight for Sherman on
Saturday; and like that political gymnast,
only Topped back when he found that he
could not carry the States forces away
with him to do any good elsewhere.
There seems to be but little doubt Of the
final predominsnce of Dudley, and of his
preferment for post-election reward, al.
though some tempting sop will certainly
have TO bs thrown in News direction. In
all this gossip neither Dudley nor New are
quoted. They are too discreet to give
utterance TO anything that would indicate
jealousy of each other, but the talk is
strong, all the same, on the extreme
inside of Indiana Republicanism, and il
must be admitted that it is decidedly in

Balfour Must Go.

LONDON, July s.-The rumor Of Mr..
Balfour's resignation of the Irish secretary
ship has been revived. 1t has been cur
rent for at least fortnight in what may
be called outside" ministerial circles,
though tine better informed Conservatives
have secuted the notion that any such step
could be contemplated at the present juno
ture. That Mr.. Bslfour will continue long
at the Irish Office is improbable on many
grounds. His recent administration of the
Crimes act and his demeanor in the House
have given great offsnse 10 some of the
Unionists. Besides this, he is suspected,
Justly or uDjustly, Of insisting upon the
passing of the unpopular Irish Under Sec
retary bill againit the wishes of major.
ity of his own colleagues. In fact, there
is very significant movement among the
Liberal Unionists in favor Of o new de.

Friends Wife.
ST. LOUIS. July S.-Henry W. Moore,
managing editor of the POSt-Dispatch, has
eloped with the wife of John W. Norton.
Moore, who is an Euglishmsn, came TO st.
Louis some years ago, and began work as
o stenographic reporter. He formed the
acquaintance of Norton, who was then at
the head of several theatrical enterprises,
and by him was assisted to enter upon a
career of usefulness and emolument. The
relations existing between Mrs. Norton
and Moore were unsupported by Norton
until day before yesterday, when the truth
came out. This was followed by the dis
appearance of the couple. Mr.. Moore is a
married man and has one child. He is
about thirty-six years old, and stood we'll
in bis profession. During recent illness
Norton made over the sum of $40, 600 to
his wife, who seemed TO be devoted to her
husband throughout their married life.
She was Miss Emma Stcdeman before
her marriage with Norton, and was for
marly the leading lady in John McCul-
lough's company.
