Mrs. Elizabeth Carr and her daughter
were seriously injured by being buried
under the debris of their house.
The tornado piled the house at 1412
North Twelfth street, in the rear, about
the heads of Heinnel Wenzsl, stone
mason, and his family. Wenzsl's wife
and three children were sitting in the
front room of their house, which is a
one. story brick cottage, when the storm
arose. Suddenly the house collapsed,
and all were buried in the ruins. Neigh

hurt.
There was terrible excitement at the
natatorium during the storm. Between
500 and 600 giils and men were there,
dancing as is usual on Sunday afternoon
The building was shaken, and seemed
on the point Of being wrecked. Several
women tainted, but no one was injured

Thomas Thoroughman says the train had
left the station and proceeded al
far northward along the rive
front az Knapp street and ths
cempany's lumber yards, when tht
water poured down in such quantities
that no one could see the outside of ths
coaches. Slowly the train proceeded
and when everything looked darkest
suddenly there was smashing of glas
that rose above the din, and then plank
came shooting into the coach windows q
one side and went out at the other jus

huge cannon. What few passenger

THE Mayor has, by good luck, caught
another transaction of the City Fathers
that would otherwise have resulted in a
swap Of lots by which the city would
have been very badly worsted. The
Land Committee, who are directly re-
sponsible for this attempt to barter valu-
able realty for less valuable, are called
upon to rise and explain. AS private
individuals they would never have made
such mistake against themselves in a

know what they are there for if it is not
to see that the city is protected in every

CLEVELAND, Ohio, January 13.-The
WIND reached a velocity of forty five
miles an hour here last night, and the
temperature dropped from 60 degrees to
below the freezing point. Telephone and
telegraph communication was inter-
rupted during the forenoon. The roofs
were torn off two school buildings, trees
were blown down and signs carried
away, but no one was injured. Reports
from adjacent towns show that the wind
swept pretty much all of Northern Ohio,
but did no serious damage to property.
TOLEDO, Ohio, January 13.-During q

blown from siding at Custer station,
on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
railroad, thirty-fve miles south of Toledo,

The Sewer and Drain Propositions

The sewer and Drain Propositions
The Council yesterday passed ordi-
nances declaring the necessity for an in
terror sewer system, storm drain, and
an outfall sewer, and next week will
probably pass ordinances calling for
three separate elections authorizing the
people to vote upon each proposition.
The vote will be first on the interior sys-
tenn, to cost 1914 1000; second, on the
storm drain, to cost $527, 900; and third
on the construction of an outtall sewer, to
cost $696,775. The storm drain expend
iture will doubtless be voted down. We
have had ample proof this winter that no
underground drain the city can construct
will be OF capacity sufficient to carry off
the waters that occasionally come from
our hills. Surface escape can alone re-
lieve the overflow, and the streets
through which it will naturally make it's
way can be made to carry it off nicely if
they are paved with bituminous rock.
we do not say that there are not some
places where storm drains can be put
down to advantage; but as these are
Included in the whole scheme, they
Will have to be provided for
at another time. The outfall sewer
will doubtless meet the same fate as it
did before. If the reasons for its defeat
on the 3Osh of August last were good,
they are reinforced this time by the fact
that the cost Of construction has been
Increased under the new scheme from
$44O, 1000 to 1896, US. This extraordinary
increase in the estimate is calculated tol
weaken the faith of the taxpayer in any
estimate made by the engineers. We
were assured last August that s440, 900

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, January IA
cyclone struck this place today, and the
wind attained a velocity of ninety miles
an hour, carrying everything before it,.
The greatest sufferers are the Canadian
Web Company. The roof was torn from
the brick walls of their building, and the
north and west walls fell In upon fifteen
girls who were employed in the
upper story. All escaped except
Alice Dicker, who had leg
broken and was badly bruised
about the body. Two guys of the foot
and carriage suspension bridge, which
had been rebuilt last spring, snapped
and fell into the river. The greatest
anxiety was felt for the bridge itself, but
tho storm decreased in violence about
noon, preventing further damage. Tele-
graph and telephone wires are down in
every direction. A tree fell across the
railroad track in front of freight train
near the suspension bridge, New York.
The engine and nineteen freight cars
were thrown into the ditch. The en-.
glneer was badly hurt.

WE SEE that the City Clerk has again
advertised for bids from banks to receive
and disburse the city funds. The last
time this was done the highest bona fide
bid was not accepted and no reason
given. It was mere arbitrary refusal
of the Council to obey the mandate OF
the charter. Are we TO have another
farce of going through the form of asking
for bids and treating them with contempt,
or does the Council mean business this
time? We shall see.

would complete the outfall work. Now
We are told that it will cost
over one'quarter of a million dollars
more than the former estimate. What
better guarantee have we now that this
last is all the outfall will cost. than we
had last August that $44O, 900 would be
sufhclentP The fact is that we seem to
be entering an unknown sea of expendi-
ture In this outfall sewer business, and
the taxpayers, who were greatly exer-
cised at the first estimate, will be seized
with panic at the idea of piling another
quarter of million on top of that.

THE CRISIS IN PORTUGAL.

minister comes, Reslg nation AC~
cepted-StOrmy DemonstratiOns.
LISBON, January 13.-The Cabinet has
resigned. Pimental, the Liberal Con-
servativs leader. voted with the minor
ity at the meeting of the Council when
the demands of England were acceded
to. The minority was in favor of evacu-
atiDg the Shire district, but opposed the
other demands made by England, unless
that country submitted the dispute to
arbitration forthwith. There is, much
excitement in the city. A crowd pa
raded the streets last night crying "Viva
Pinto" and "Viva Portugal"
Senator Comes, at q session of the
Chamber OF Peers, made full state
ment Of the recent negotiations with
England. He declared that he always
sought to maintain an agreeable under
standing with England, and hoped the
divergent views of the two countries
might yet be reconciled. The President
then announced that the King had &C.
cepted the resignation of Comes, and
charged Pimental to construct Cabinet.
Many shops are closed in consequence
of the agitation in the streets. The patri-
otic demonstrations throughout the day
have been in favor of Pimental. Rioting
students today endeavored to force an
entrance into the Chamber of Deputies,
but only deputation was admitted, for
the purpose of presenting to the Presi-
dent patriotic resolutions. At IL p. m.
the streets are still thronged with per-
| sons bearing the national flag. These
visited and cheered every legation in
the city except the English.
1t is now reported that Senior Pimental
will form ministry, and Hintzeribeino
will take the portfolio of Foreign Affairs.
Comes personally expressed to Glynn-
Petre his regret at the insults offered to
him. The Government officials assured
the Minister that the escutcheon would
be replaced, all damage repaired and all
persons connected in the outrage pun
| ished.
There is movement for the formation
of q patriotic league to put into operation
an international boycott against English
commerce. fermentation in the streets
continues. Students in the street in the
nelghborhood of the Cortes are shouting
"Viva Portugal" "Vjva Pinto" At a
meeting of students it was proposed to
wire congratulations to Serps Pinto. A
public meeting has been called to pro-
test against the submission to England's
demands.
LONDON, January 13.-The Times says:
The impudent attitude of Portugal re-
quired sharp treatment. We rejoice that
Salisbury was equal to the occasion.
The Post has dispatch from Zanzibar
reporting that the Mozambique authori-
ties have proclaimed that Portugal ehall
exercise absolute control throughout the
whole Shire district.
PARIS, January 13.-Temps declares
that the wrangle between England and
Portugal comes within the Berlin treaty,
and advises Portugal to appeal to Eu-
rope.

Vacancies i'm the state Board OF
agriculture.

- Ahtu
AT the close of January the terms o1
three members. of the State Board Of
Agriculture will expire, and the Gov
ernor will have to fill the vacancies. Al
present the Board has four members
from Sacramento county, two from Sar
Francisco, one from San Jose, one from
Stockton, one from Colusa, one from
Monterey and one from Southern Cali
fornia. All the vacancies to be filleG
next month should be appointed from
this part of the State. The only member
on the Board from Southern California
is G. F. Swan, who lives at Los Alamol
in Santa Barbara county, and he is ont
of the three that 60 out. The other two
are the famous g. w. Hancock and hi
colleague from Sacramento, Fred Cox
If the Governor will give Southern Cali
fornis the three vacancies Sacramento
will still have two members in tn,
Board, as many as San Francisco has
and that is more than her share. Th,
Chamber of Commerce has sent nam'
to the Governor, and the San Bernardint
Inder suggests also the name of Richart
Gird. He would be very acceptable
member from this end of the State.
We have seen that the formation of th'
Board in the interest of the Northern
part of the State has led Il
serious complications in relation
to the proposed Citrus Fair TO
Southern California. The appoint
ment of Sacramento man to tax
charge of fair in this section to b.
held for the especial purpose of dis
playing citrus fruits. was very justly re
sented by our people, and looked upon a
an exercise of authority offensive ant
insulting. When we consider that tn
person designated was known as one O
the cranky crowd who have for severa
years been claiming that the Northern
part of the State was just a
much a citrus belt as tn
Southern part, the impropriety AM
bad taste of the appointment is mad
glaringly apparent.
Now, ii the Governor will give u
three members in the Board of Stat
Agriculture, and if the Board, whel
organized, should do the fair thing ant
place Southern member as Superin
tendent over the Citrus Fair, we see N
reason why we should not get up tn
proposed exhibition some time in March

New BEDFORD, Mass, January 13.-
News was received here today that the

1t was something fearful, and on a shin
130 miles distant was taken for falling
meteor. Part of the crew were taken bv

doubtless escaped.

The illegally contracted bills for alter
ations in the old City Hall will doubtless
be ordered paid by the Council. If some
taxpayer should enjoin the Treasurer

and obey it or set it aside according as
1t suits the whim or purpose of the gov,
erning municipal body.
