A TERRIBLE cyclone swept through
western Pennsylvania and New York last
week. leaving death and destruction in
its wake. At Reading. Penn, the dam
age was the heaviest. A silk factory being
demolished; lS of the operatives instantly
killed and 100 more or less injured At
Pittsburg several persons were killed and
thousands of dollars worth of property
destroyed. At Carlysle the Go vernment
Indian Industrial School buildings were
unro"fed. In New York heavy property
losses are reported. The suspension
bridge at Niagara Falls was carried away.
1t was one of the most destructive storms
which ever visited that section.

lines are To be drawn more clearly in Da-
kota than before the result of the presi-
dental election put Rcpublicanism at IA
premium. This is as il should be. for if
one thing has cursed Dakota politics more
than another it has been the practice of
the trading elements in both parties to
join hands for the division of the spoils
regardless of the principle involved. If
parties are desirable at all IN the conduct

efficient by thorough organization and
perfect discipline; and these conditions

al defendant OF one Of the old Vikings re-
ceiyed q lesson in the art of "confidencing,"
or more pl operly "fim-aamming," yester-
day afternoon, at the Utah & Northern
depot, which he will probably not forget in
q hurry.
A few moments before the train for Gar
rison pulled out a well-dressed man was
running up and down the platform asking
for some one to accommodate him with a
twenty dollar bill for which he offered the
same amount OF money in change. No
one appeared to be willing to oblige him
until finally an innocent looking Scandi-
navian dug up a greasy sack and pulled
out q twenty dollar bill. By this time the
train was in motion and the well-dressed
stranger was standing on the steps OF one
OF the cars. The obliging sucker" handed
him the bill and in return received Jour
silver dollars and what appeared to be
several bills. He stepped into the depot
to count his money and when he got
through found that he had just FIVE dollars
in circulating medium of the realm, q one
| dollar bill and four silver dollars, and ff.
teen dollars worth OF experience. By this
time the fim-fammer was well on his way
out of town and although his victim re.
ported the matter to the authorities it is
not at all likely that the sharper will ever
be caught.

Preliminary examination Of W. II. Ven
medley the Pacific Express company's de-
~faultipg agent at Anaconda, was concluded
before a justice OF the peace at Deer Lodge,
yesterday morning. Venne1ey admitted
his shortage, $S71.2O, but claimed that it
was the result Of a clerical error or else that
the money had been stolen by a dishonest
clerk. Both of these assertions were easily
disproved as no one had access to the
funds in the Office but himself, and every
dollar which he had taken in was easily
traced on his books. His attorney de-
manded his release on the grounds that the
prosecution had failed to show what dispo-
sition he had made of the money, but this
motion was over-ruled by the justice and
the defendant was held in bonds in thesum
of 81 900 to appear before the grand jury.
Being unable to give bail he was remanded
and is now in Jail at Deer Lodge.
The case against him was worked up by
Detective Linton of the American Surety
company, which institution furnishes bonds
for all employees Of the xpress company
and which is the prosecuting witness in the
case. Route Agent Smith and Assistant
Superintendent Daniels OF the express com
pany furnished the evidence upon which
Vennedey was held.

IN RE MAHoNE.

A Washington letter declares that Ex-
Senator Malone, Of Virginia, is one Of
the happiest men in the country. BE
bss succeeded in getting the Republican
aational committee to take q hand In
the political muddle in his state, and
the result is that the only Malone Is
more firmly seated as the Republican
bore In that state than ever.
This result was not, however, obtained
without an effort-hoW great an effort
may be judged from the fact that the
subcommittee Of the national commit
tee, composed of Messrs. Quay, Dudley,
Clarkson, Fressendsn and Hobart, was in
continuous session one entire day and
night, and afterwards had a long consul
tation with Mr.. Harrison. The only
thing that the anti-Mahonites get as far
as can be seen on the surface is q share
In the federal Offices in the state and
some people are uncharitable enough to
say that's about all they wanted. At any
rate the decisions Of the committee in
Mahone's favor was closely followed by
the appointment of Col. ]. I. Brady to be
collector of internal revenue for the sec
ond district of that state.
Col. Brady has been about the bitterest
opponent Malone had in the state. His
salary will be $500 a year, which Is not
to be sneezed at by q man out in the cold.
he accepts the situation, and said in an
interview that Malone could have
the denomination for governor if he
wanted it.

This is ridiculous. While it may be

thence set out on its eastward course
and be accelerated or retarded in charac.

About the only effect the Eifel tower
has on thunder storms is to aid some
