BLACK sTREAKs SHOT DOWN

Like Mercilcss Fingers and Buildings
Crushed Like Egg Shells.
Boston, July ga Lawrence special
says: The awful visitation came at 9:55
o'clock. The wind was east, the rain
was falling heavily, when suddenly the
heavens became aglow with q bright
white light almost dazzling in its effect.
In a moment the wind veered directly to
the west. Heavy black clouds shot from
behind the Western hills, high into the
sky for a moment, and then the thick
mass parted.
Down ShOt Black Streaks
from the murky mass and in Il moment
the crash came. Buildings were
crushed like egg shells, whole houses
were lifted from the cellars and terror
seized their occupants. The buildings
in the vicinity We're all of wood, pretty,
coy homes of toilers in the mills. In
trice their ruin was complete. The cy-
clone cut a path in South Lawrence
over a mile in length and 500 feet wide.
Over 100 Buildings
were wrecked. The hospital is
from the wreck are sheltering bleeding
women and children. The devastated
section is included by South Broadway
and Temple streets, Market and Salem
streets. Communication with the out
side world was instantly cut off. The
immense telegraph poles were snapped
as though they were pipe stems, and the
wires which were whirled into a cloud
of tangled skeins, settled down a mass
of junk.
Fire broke out in a number of places
in the ruins, and the entire fire depart
ment worked hard to extinguish the
flames.

ing the erection of all addition to the
school house should be we'll attended.
The question involves considerable
expense and while all will admit the
great need of additional room, the
matter of taxes should not be entirely
overlooked. If the people vote for
the proposition as it stands at present,
it places upon them a tax Of 20 mills
or two per cent. for school purposes,
which, added to the state and county
tax, will make a total tax of about
four per cent, while by issuing bonds
there would be no necessity for such a
heavy tax and those who locate in
Dickinson hereafter would pay their
just proportion of the expense for
the benefits which they will receive.
The question involved in the election
is simply this: Shall we vote for the
immediate construction of the adj
dition and a two per cent. school tax,
or vote against building until bonds
a be issued and the expense divided
over a period of several years? The
voters are to decide the matter next
Thursday, and all should express
their choice by either voting for or
against the proposition.

:. SAN Francisco, May 31.--A decision
in the case of S. Mattingly against Philip

Thomas II. Blythe, was handed down
today by the supreme court. The action
was brought in this county in August,
1887, to recover $l25,000 for commits
slons on the sale of Blue Jacket mining
stock. The jury returned verdict for
defendant. Judge Finn, in charging the
jury, instructed it to find verdict for
the full amount of $125, 1000, or for moth
ing. The supreme court considers that
these instructions were in error, and on
these grounds the judgment of the lower
court is reversed, and the cause re-

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, May 31.--One
of the most disastrous wrecks known on
the Atlantic and Pacific, occurred on
that road yesterday evening, two miles
from it's junction with the Santa Fe. A
train OF double-decked cars, loaded with
some 5000 fine Merino mutton sheep on
the way from California to the Chicago
market, was wrecked by the breaking of
truck. Every car but two was de-
stroyed, and about 1000 sheep killed
outright. The Indians of the neighbor-
ing pueblo OF Isleta worked all night
skinning the carcasses, and they will
! have mutton for months to come. The
wreck'w was cleared in time to let the pas
senger trains through on time today.

FLOODED ISLANDS.
DISASTROUS EFFECT OF THE FLOOD
AROUND STOCKTON.
Splendid Tracts of Wheat Entirely Sub
merged-Still Worse Results Expected
to Follow.

STOCKTON, May 31.-The only land out
of water on the Williams and Bixler
tracts, on Union island, is place of
$500 acres, known as the Kidd ranch.
The cross levee protects this tract from.
the sea of water, backed up from the
Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, but
it is feared the levee will not hold unless
the water falls. After spending about
$4,000 in building up cross levees and
repairing breaks the past two
weeks, the Williams boys be-
came discouraged when a large
crevesse opened late last night on the
middle river leyee, letting the flood into
5000 acres of grain standing six feet
high with heads six inches long.
Efforts are being made to hold the
home place, Oh which are located fine
dwelling, stables, houses for employees,
store and warehouses, but il - becomes
dangerous, all hands will move out.
The stock is now being removed.
Farmers and land owners say the break
ing away of the government weir dam in
Paradise cut, is the cause of the flooding
of these splendid tracts. The middle
and upper divisions of Roberts island
are safe, so far, but the farmers are
alarmed at the high stage OF the water.

PARNELL's OBJECTIONS.
The Irish Leader Tells Why He Opposed
the Balfour Bill.

the BalfOur Bill.
New YORK, May 31.-The North
american Reyiep has an article by Par
nell, stating the Irish party's objection
to Balfour's Irish land-purchase bill.
Parnell characterizes the measure as
insufficient and dishonest" Insuffi-
cient because it would not reach more
than one out of every four Irish tenants,
and then there would be many in the
favored minority who have no right or
claim to enjoy the benefits of land pur-
chase at the expense of the state. 1t
would take upwards of one hundred and
the Irish tenants entitled to do so, to be-
come owners of their own holdings. The
state would never advance the vast sum
necessary for the purpose, as everyone
comedies that thirty-three million
pounds sterling is the utmost sum the
British taxpayers can be induced
to guarantee. The Irish party
hold, therefore, that the land
act of 1881 should first be so
amended as to secure the tenants inn
munity from the infiiction of rents.
Great abuses have attended the working
OF the land purchase measures. The re-
sources are being scandalously misspent,
while the question is left unsolved.
Moreover, the grossest favoritism has
been shown in the selection of estates
for whose purchase advances of public
money are to be made. Up to December
81, 1888, $50 owners sold their estates to
tenants for 1893, 900. Of these $50
owners thirty-four walked off with
G2, ,251 900. This is not the manner in
which the question should be settled,
Other objections that arise are set
forth. The consideration, Parnell says,
which influenced him as largely as any
thing else in opposing the measure, is
