THE national debt statement for Au-
gust list shows an increase in the debt of
the United States during the month of
July of $4,000 ,s65.75. This is one re-
suit of covering into the treasury as a
liability the trust fund of 54,207, 1878
belonging to the national banks, which
was done to make good the deficiency
that will be caused by the reckless APP
preparations of the present congress.
The surplues in the treasury had de-
clined, on July LIST, to $50, 400, 74S; and
by this dodge itlwas again'raised to $1O4,-
672, 400 The raise, however, was ticti-
tious, as this debt statement shows: and
by the end of the fiscal year it will be
found that the anti-reform cry of the
republican leaders IN 1SSS-"There is no
surpluas" have been literally veri-
fed. There was n surplus, and large
one; but it was democratic economy and
honest administration that Garnered it.
Republican extravaganza and iobbery
have almost dissipated it in less than
two years.

Walter Lewis, three years old, met
his death at his home in St. Louis the
other morning under sad circumstances.
The little one had been playing all
morning in the hallway on the third
floor. About ten o'clock Mrs. Lewis
heard him crying Running from her
room she saw that the child had crawled
out on the porch and had pushed his
little body between two of the Stats on
the railing. Being unable to get back
he had setup a cry for help. The mother
realized in an instant the danger to
which her babe was subjected and with
a scream ran forward and stretched out
her arms to pick up the child. She was
just too late. Little Walter lost his bal
ance and tumbled down on the hard
pavement twenty-five feet below. He
was carried into the house and died
twenty minutes afterward. Mrs. Lewis
was so shocked that she lost all reason,
and would have prCcipitated herself from
the porch had she not been prevented
by a neigh Dor. Then she ran out upon
the street, and her shrieks of agony
could be heard for blocks.

STORMS ALL AROUND,

Severe Storms at Wallingford, Conn.,,
Cincinnati and Albany.
ST. LOUIS, June 12.-Yesterday aft
ernoon's hail-storm proved upon in
vestigation to have been decidedly
disastrous in its consequences, entail
ing the loss of many thousands of dol
lars by the breaking of skylights and
windows in business houses, photograph
galleries, churches, Conservatives;
nurseries, etc. In the central portion
of the area covered by the storm, hail
stones mea surfing four and a
half inches in diameter were
picked up, SO that the wonder
is that greater damage was not done.
This is accounted for by the velocity of
tae wind at the time not being over
twelve miles an hour, and the missiles,
therefore, came nearly straight down.
Among the incidents of the storm were
several runaways, with varying results,
and the stampeding of a funeral pro-
cession in which the hearse was wrecked
and the coffin hurled into the street.
A panic at Barnum's circus was narrow
ly averted by the prompt action of the
attaches.

turn over to the bank some $50 600 in
