ANOTHER HEAVK STORM.
Reported Destruction OF saltwater
Denied Heavy losses Through

Reported UeNtruCtton Oh suhWHtHE
Demied Heavy losses Through
Wind amt Water.
sT. PAUL, NIsN., July 7.-Another
heavy storm visited pGFta OF this state
late last evening. At Red Wing and Lake
City the heavy beating rain is thought to
have done some damage to crops but
other property is oil right.
Marius, little town near saltwater, as
we'll as Saltwater itself, was reported
wiped out, but the latest advices are
against the report. Anoka sutf rs some
loss from leveled forces and overturned
trees, but the worst of the storm there
passed north of that city, from which
section nothing has yet n en- heard.
Clear Lake, Wis., according to one re-
mort was severe sufferer, bnt more def
mite statements from thore give the dam.
age as very light. Clayton, small town
near Clear Lake, lost numhor Of roofs.
But the worst tffact OF the sio-n was IN
North st. PAM, a suburb of the city,
where the storm played havoc with prop
erty, but fortunately no loss Of life re.
suited. Tho storm struck there nj z
o'clock and for few momonts the south
ern limits Of the little manufacturing
suhurb we're wrapped in q dense cloud Of
mist driving bsiore furious gale with
cycIonio COZ dit;ons. A large crowd o.
people had been on the lookont and
there was the widest Consideration for
lew moments.
But the storm passed off to the eas
and passed Oh. The only damage don't
was to the plant of the Acme Chair 90.
which wes totally wrecked. 1t was |
two story brick building and stood mex
to the oasket works being the southern
most building of the town. The wint
caught the upper portion CT the building
and out it of as if by knife lifting i
bodily and smashing It into pieces SOM
distance away. At the same time tn
walls ware crushed together like an egI
she'll, leaving it al utter ruin.
Tho loss will probably reach $40 90
as the company had 9b3ut 5000 chair
ieady for shipment which were destroyed
Tho plant was erected about eight month
ago.

MIR. Reed saving the PeasIOn Ofnc
From Investigations.

Mr. heeh Saving tue h'enShOu OhtcS
From Investigation.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-Speaker Reed
seems to have entered into compact
with Commissioner Rsum guaranteeing
the pension offiee against any possible
investigation by Congress. Whenever Il
has seemed likely that Ohairman Ooopsr's
resolution would be acted upon the
Speaker has in,erposed his portly form
aud there has been an end OF the movs-
ment.
1t is now several weeks since Mr..
Cooper's resolution was introduced in
the House, and it was not until last Fri
day that the committee on rules, TO which
it was referred, took it up for considera-
tion. The committee began quiet in
vestigaiion OF the evidence which Mr.
Cooper had gathered in support OF his
charges. Upon being called on, Mr..
Cooper exhibited copy of tho letter
written by Pension Attorney Lemon OF
this city, asking that q certain ruling be
made which would tend materially to in
crease Mr. Lemons already enormous
business. Appended to this was a copy
Of Commissioner Raum's letter stating
that under no circumstances could such
an order be Issued. The next document
produced by MIR. Cooper was copy OF
the very order Mr.. Lemon bad asked for,
the date showing that it had been issued
within few days after his application.
Considerable further evidence was ex
hibited by Mr.. Cooper, but the Speaker
summarily adjourned the meeting until
last Monday.
At the hour set for the convening oi
the committee on Monday Speaker Reet
| was not to b. found, and, though tbs
Democratic members and Mr.. Cooper
were present, in the absence Of o quorum
no business could be transacted. In con
sequence of ths failure of Mr.. Cooper L
procure any action at tho hands of thu
committee ON Hules, the war was carriet
into the Honae, and yesterday's sharl
debate resulted. Upon its conclusion
Speaker Reed, who had evidently mad
up bis mind that the representatives de
manning an investigation OF the pension
cllice were In earnest, called Hpecia
meeting of the committee on rules TO
this morning, to consider MIR. Cooper
resolution. The Indiana CONGRESSMAN
again appeared before his colleagues Of
the committee, and expressed himself
able and willing to verify every state
ment he had thus far made. Speake
Reed listened for while In an abstracts
fashion, and then moved recess. Ar
other session was held this afternoon
but Mr. Reed finally succeeded in ad
iouPniug the committee sine die, wlthou
taking any action.
