A Thunderstorm,s Havoc.

FINDLAY, o., April l5.-The family
Of G. Fl. Perkins, living in Jackson town
ship, this county, had a remarkable ex-
p~erience during a thunderstorm yester
day. A bolt of lightning struck the fam
lily residence, tearing away the tin roof
with the c%ornice, and then descending by
a pipe to the kitchen. Here it knocked
down furniture and threw a dog, which
was sleeping by the stove, SO violently
against the stone wall of the apartment
that it was killed. A servant girl who
was standing by the stove was stunned
and shocked so severely that she is not ex
pected to recover. Mrs. Perkins and
her baby, who were also in the room, es-
capped without injury. In front of the
house was a hired man with a team OF
horses. The team ran away, throwing
the man from the wagon and severely in
turing him. Perkins was out in the gar,
den when the bolt struck the house; he
was so severely stunned that he did not
recover consciousness for an hour. The
house caught fire from the overturned
stove, but the heavy rain soon extin-
guished the flames before much damage
was done.

The White House Is Too Small.

WASHINGTON, April l5.-It is reported
that the president ~contemplates taking
the whole south front, first floor of the
state department building for the exccu-
tive Office and is establishing a routine of
Office hours there. Such a plan would
give the president a privilege which the
humblest employee of the government
has but which the chief executive does
not possess-thc right to enjoy his own
home. The clerks in some of the small
lest divisions of the state department
have more room and more c%onveniences
than the clerks at the executive mansion.

The Suicide Endemic.

MNNEAPoLIs, April 15.-P. L. Lock-
wood, a well known real estate dealer and
capitalist committed suicide last night by
poison Upon his " cemetery lot; he was
65 years old. His attorney thinks the
deed was caused by Lockwood's peculiar
ideas about spiritual existence hereafter.
Charles F. Patch, president of the
Wisconsin & Pacific railway, committed
suicide this morning in his Office by
shooting himself in the mouth. Friends
deny the rumor that he lost heavily in
wheat. Suicide inexplicable.

APIA. VIA SAN FRANCISCO. April Is.
The Associated Press correspondent
had an interview with Mataafa a few
days prior to the great storm in regard
to the proposed Berlin conference. The
king did not seem to believe the confer
ence would have any beneficial result for
the Samoans. He expressed a strong de-
sire hat the American and British repre-.
sentatives might be able to effect a re.
storation of the former Samoan govern
ment and insure peace ard prosperity to
the islands.
Mataafa declared that he had nothing
to hope for from Germany; that all the
wars among the natives and the blood
shed which had occurred during the past
few months were due to German inter
ference, and German representatives
had made so many misstatements to him
that he could not place any confidence in
their promises or their professed desire
for peace. e. = e
The confusion which was present every
where in Apia during the first few days
after the storm disappeared by the end
OF the week. The quarters of the ship.
wrecked sailors have been made more
comfortable daily. The routine of duty
was properly attended to and the marine
guard had complete control of the town.
Working parties are kept busy all the
time on the wrecks of the Trenton
and the Vandalia, and articles of every
description have been brought ashore
iiom the vessels. 1t has not been ascer-
tanned whether the Nipsic will be able to
leave the harbor or not.

Naval E,perts Disagree.

WASHINGTON, April l5.-Naval Con-
siructor Hitchborn, chief of the construc-
ton bureau, does not credit the report
that the fires of the Trenton we're extin-
guished by the floods that came through
the hawse pipes. He says these pipes
were placed on the berth deck to allow
the heavy forward gun to be worked. The
effect was to make the vessel ride at an
Choir more easily than if they had been
placed on the upper deck. In heavy sea
the water would come through them, and
complaint had peer made that they kept
the deck wet, still they were furnished
with rubber packed bucklers which, if APP
piled, would make the pipes nearly water
tight. Captain Hitchborn says it is en-
tirely incredible that enough water should
come through to ~cxtinguish the fires.
Undoubtedly the cause of the wreck was
insufficient engine power. The English
ship Calliope, which escaped by a bare
margin of a knot an hour to the wind
ward, had 5000 horse power to ., 700 tons
displacement; the Trenton had 300
horsepower, but a tonnage of $500.

No Back Pay for Gen. Badeau.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-An opinion
was rendered by the supreme court Of the
United States to day in the case of Adam
Badeau, appellant, vs.. the United States.
This was a suit brought BY Badeau in the
court of claims for pay as retired captain
in the army from April %. 1870, to Sept.
16. 1881, during which time he was consul
general to London. and from Nov. 25,
1882, up to the date of the filing of the
suit. during which he was consul general
at Ravenna. The United States filed a
counter claim stating Badeap was indebted
to the United States for money erroneous
ly paid him as an army officer for portions
Of the period from Dec. 4, 1863, TO Oct.
81, 1881. The court of claims, by q
divided court, dismissed both claims.
The supreme court holds that Gen.
Badeau, while drawing a salary as consul
general, was expressly inhibited from re-
ceiving any additional com pensation for
discharging the duties of any other Office.
1t is true, the court says, that it has been
decided that a person holding two Offices
or e~mployments under the government,
when the services rendered, or which
might be required of them. were not in
compatible, il not precluded from ~receiy-
ing the salary or compensation of both.
But the treasury department did no,
apparently regard this case as falling
within that exception, and the court agrees
with that conclusion. 1t il held though,
under the act of 1875, certain army officers
may hold diplomatic or consular appoint
ments without being held to thereby re.
sign their places in the army. This does
not entitle them to pay as army
officers when they are absent from their
country on the discharge of continuous
Office duties. Such officers. though they
may still be born on the retired list. can
not receive double compensation. The
court also refuses to disturb the judg-
ment of the court of claims adverse to the
counter claim of the United States. If
he was not an officer in law, he was serv-
ing such in faith, and no reason is seen
why he should be required to return
what was paid him while he was DIS
charging his duty as an army officer.
Opinion by Chief Justice Fuller.

AKnickerbocker proud of his Dutch
descent, strobe into the surrogate's
Office in New York TO see the signature
of his illustrious grandma TO the will
by which she ~bequeathed the real es-

ment was found, dated in 17SS, written
by a scribe who had also signed her
name, under which was a circle like
the letter 0, bearing the legend, Her

INDIANAPoLIs, April I5.-The suit tc
test the constitutionality of the act OF the
late legislature authorizing a loan of 500
600 was decided to day in the circuit
court. Judge Rowland. in a brief opln-
ion, held that the act was ~unconstitu.
tional, The case will be immediately
taken to the supreme court, and if that
tribunal holds the law unconstitutional,
the state finances will be seriously EN-
barrassed, and it may become necessary to
call an extra session of the legislature to
provide the necessary funds for carrying

MOBILE, Ala, April l5.-Capt. Jones,
