TOOK POISON.
DEATH OF MRS, s. A. LOGAN, CAUSED BY A
DOSE OF sTRYCHNINE.

Last Monday morning the sad news
that Mrs. S. A. Logan, wife of our
county commissioner, who lives about
7 miles east of Toledo, had committed
suicide by taking dose Of strychnlne,
was received in this city. About 8
o'clock Sunday morning she informed
her children that she intended to take
poison, but before she could carry out
her purpose, her daughter, aged about
IL years, succeeded in obtaining the
poison. She then procured bottle
marked "Strychnine" that had been in
the house for 20 years, and ran out of
the house with it, and succeeded in
swallowing a portion of the contents
although the daughter made every
effort to restrain her. Assistance was
speedily summoned. DR.. Rich was
sent for but before his arrival Mrs.
Logan had expired
Following is the report of the coro-
ner's jury:

moned by Thomas Horning, Justice of

WnKEsBARRE, Pa, August 19.AAt
five o'clock this afternoon the most
terrible cyclone that was ever expert
enced in this locality, struck this CITY,
1t came up the river, and the suddenness
of its coming, was one of its awful
features. The heavens were as black as
night, and the wind blew with most
frightful velocity. Whole rows of trees
were blown down. Following this,
hundreds OF houses were unroofed, par
TALLY blown over and completely de-
molished, and worse than all, the vista
tion OF death was sent upon a number of
people. Large districts in several
sections of the city are in absolute ruin,
and women and children are in the
streets crying and wringing their hands
in absolute dismay.
+ The damage will reach hundreds OF
thousands of dollars. Passenger trains
and locomotives at the depot were blown
over, and every wire in the city-elec-
trio light, telephone and telegraph-is
down. The devastation is to be COM
pared with nothing in the memory of
the Oldest inhabitant. Everybody is
rejoicing that no fires as yet have taken
place, for the streets are impossible with
trees and fallen buildings, and the en-
gines could not be drawn through them.
The Death List.
The total death list so far as ascer-
tanned, is twelve. Four men are known
to be killed in the Hazard wire rope
works. A house on Scott street, occu-
ed by miners, who had just returned
from work, fell in, and the inmates were
killed. The huge stack of the Kyle
planning mill fell on man and two
horses, and all were killed. A little col
ored girl was killed by a falling building
on South Main street. Two men

Reports From other Districts.
A SILURIAN.
The Skeleton of an Amphibious Monster
Discovered.

Ell VERANo, CAL, August 19.-The re-
port comes from Shellville, about four
miles from here, that the shovel of the
dredger which is cleaning out Embarca-
dero creek, struck hard substance yes
terday, which, when unearthed, proved
to be the skeleton of monstrous am
phibious animal. From the Uranium to
the tip of the tail, the skeleton measured
twelve feet, and the massive jaw
bones were four feet in length.
The fore legs were five feet in length
in length while the bones of the rear
legs were but eighteen inches long and
were without joints, excepting at the
hips. The toes were three inches in
in length. There were two strong tusks
projecting from the upper jaw at right
angles with the head, and from the top
of the skull grew two horns, each hav-
ing three branches. The skeleton wrs
found at depth of twenty-one feet
from the surface, imbedded in q
stratum of clay. The bones were taken
out separately, it being impossible to
preserve the skeleton whole. The dis
covery was made in the midst of vast
tract of tule, two miles north of the
head waters of San Pablo bay.

suffered death from the falling
of portion of Stegmaler's brick
brewery, and third incurred
the same fate through the almost COM
plete demolition of s. L. Browns brick
business block on Market street. There
are undoubtedly fifteen or sixteen
others killed.
Many poor people suffered heavy
losses, and it will be months before all
the damage can be repaired. Fully two
hundred buildings have been blown
down or otherwise damaged. Many of
the structures were of large size and
great value. The Murray shaft fan
house was blown down, and the fan
stopped. There are twenty-seven men
in the mine, but it is hoped they can be
gotten out in safety.
Reports From Other Districts.
Later, Z: 80 p. m.-Reports come from
Sugar Notch, Mining town, three miles
from here, that the destruction of prop
erty is terrible there, and fifteen persons
are killed. At Parsons and Mill Creek,
four miles from here, the coal breakers
in all directions have been more or less
damaged.

Excitement at TempletOn.

TEMPLEroN, Cal. August 19,-Excite-
ment at Templeton is increasing. The
streets are lined with teams and pack
animals. General Murphy's Atascadero
hills are being preempted by hundreds
of squatters, claiming the land under
the United States laws as government
land. All through the night excited
people were en- route for this valuable
country, six miles south of Templeton.
The people are determined and will re-
sist eviction until their rights to this
new piece of land have been decided by
some legal tribunal

PORT COLLECTOR STOWE.
He is Reported to be Very Dangerously

Those Republicans who were candi-
dates for the office of collector of the
port of Wilmington, and who were dis
gruntled by reason OF the appointment
of John Stowe of Ventura, can get ready
for another campaign. Word was re-
ceived in this city yesterday that Mr.

despaired of. Mr.. George Hynes, the
former collector, is also in very bad
condition physically, having lost the
use of one eye through painful disease
and being threatened with total blind

M'KINLEY SHAVED-NEXT.

= Now that the Senate has disposed of
the Mckinley bill, we may next look for
a strong effort on the part of the radi
Gals to bring up and pass the force bill.
This is a pet measure with the Quay
Reed element of the Republican party
the element that is willing to use any
means, no matter how unscrupulous
or even revolutionary, to perpetuate the
power of the Republican party.
The force bill is one of the most inge-
niously devised measures imaginable to
compass this object. 1t would place the
power in nine men-one in each United
States judicial circuit-to control the
election of congressman in every close
district in the Union. No one doubts
that, under existing circumstances, each
of these supervisors would be Repub
lican, and, as far as they could find the
material, Republican of the order and
timbre of the Dudleys and Davenports.
They would be empowered to appoint
deputies to supervise and report the re-
turns in each congressional district, to
be present in the polling booths, to ex-
anime the ballot boxes, and to exercise
such powers in the count as would make
them masters of the situation in close
districts. 1t is true there is pretence
of fairness in the way in which these
deputies shall be selected, but the pre-
ponderance of the deputies would natur-
ally be Republicans.
We are now making strong efforts all
over the Union to introduce the
Australian ballot system, so as to
surround the voter with the utmost pro-
lection in casting a secret ballot. This
law would render the practical carrying
out OF this system impossible. The deputy
supervisor would be there, and there
could be no secrecy
When we are told that the law will
not e1generally invoked in the Con-
gressional districts OF the country, we
say that there is not one in which pc
tition would not be successfully gotten up
to proclaim it as under the law. The
reasons are e-ebvious. The patronage to
be exercised in the appointment OF dep
uties is very great, and there will be
always those wanting deputyships who
will be able to get one hundred names
to a petition for the purpose of letting
them in.
The measure is not only vicious, but
unnecessary. Ii there are any districts
in the country where large numbers OF
voters are shut out from the franchise,
the constitution provides remedy in
the decrease OF the ratio of representa-
ton. The author of the bill intends it
mainly to reach the South to secure
free ballot to the negro. But we know
that in the manufacturing districts OF
the eastern states ii man votes against
the wishes of his employers he votes
himself out of work. There are no lack
OF Senate reports of investigating COM
mittees to show this. Whether intimi-
datiOn of some sort can ever be over
come by any kind of legislation we
doubt. 1t is bread and butter in the
North it is the natural dominance of a
superior race and intelligence in the
South. Education may in time over
come the latter; but man is always sub
ject to starvation.

LIE PRoGREs CALIFORNIAN has come
out as semi-weekly. In one of its
articles discussing local politics, it says
that the Republican regime has been
invariably sweet and complaisant to-
wards the French colony prior to cleo
tions, and profuse in promises, but when
the time came to distribute the appoint
ments French Republicans have been
left in the consomme. 1t says that
whilst all other nationalities have fat
positions in the various offices, there is
but one Frenchman in any department
of either the city or county government,
and his place, though useful, is very
humble one, that is to examine back
yards for the city board of health. This
is very serious indictment against the
g. o. p., and our irate contemporary is
right in calling upon its leaders to rise
and explain.
