The storm south of Bloomington seems TO

glass in the greenhouses in the city was de-
molishtd by the hail. At MINER. Il miles
west of here, nearly every pane of glass in
town was broken. The country between
MINER and here was deluged, and consider

tracks. Files Of ties were iloated away,
many of them being lodged on the rails.
The young wheat and garden vegetables
were crushed hat.
A Hankskee dispatch says The heaviest
rain storm ever known in this section of the
State fell yesterday afternoon. The storm
was general throughout Eastern Illionis and
was accompanied by hail and brilliant

fell so rapidly that the streets were overflow

The End Came TO the Great Com
n1oner as the Day Dawned-

WA-miSeToN. April IS Congressman
Samuel j Randall died at 5.io O'Clock this
morning Of internal cancer, after long and
painful iilness. He was surrounded by his
family-his devoted wife and nfectionate
children, his dsngh hters, Mrs. Lancaster aad
susie Randall, aud his son Samuel j.. Jr., 10
his last moments
Mr. Randall came TO Washington early IN
last November a sick man, but with hopes OF
Improvement He expected 10 be able to
take his seat in the Honse when Congress
met in December Bar when Congress con-
vened he was unable TO leave his home.
subsequently the oath Of office as Repre-
sentative was administered al his residence
by Speaker Reed, and Mr.. Randall was made
a member Of the Committee on Rules and
ApproprIations--the two important COM
suittess be had served Ia for 40 many years.
Mr.. Randall then hoped TO be able to take
his seat and participate actively IN ihe
affairs Of the House at ;he conclusion OF the
holiday recess. Jut the dreaded and iAtai
malady from which he suffered, slowly but
surely made Inroads on bis strength, and
each month as It passed found him weaker.
Mr. Carlisle, his associSte on the COMMITTEES
of Raies. aud Democratic members OF the
Appropriations Committee and other Demo
cratic Representatives. called frequently at
Mr.. Randalls home To consult him about
party matters aud committee work. Some
of them who called occasionally but rega-
larry noticed that Mr. Randall was slowly
falling physically. although mentally he was
a. acute and vigorous as ever and fDf the
past two months they felt THAI he would
never leave his house alive.
During the last few weeks Of his life he
suffered very much at times and he had be-
come greatly emaciated His devoted wife
and children were untiring in their alien-
tions all through his sickness, and his
friends in Congress land he had host OF
them Of both political faiths contributed
much toward his comfort by frequent friend
ly vis:ss. During bis last hours his wife
and family were constantly at his bedside
Mr. Randall was unconscious al times dur
ing the last day ar two Of his life, and WIS
speechless toward the end To Mr. Randall
he smiled last fond LOOK Of recognition, a
half hour before his death.
4 Mr. Randalls funeral viii take place here
on Tuesday morning. The arrangements
1 for the funeral will be in charge Of the con-
gresSional committee 10 be appointed to-
morrow morning. Mrs Randall prefers that
the services be held in the Metropolitan
Presbyterian Church Of which Mr.. Randall
was a member, and not in the HOuseof Rep
resentatives. Alter the funeral services, the
funeral party will take a special train over
the Pennsylvania Rlilroad 10 Philadelphia
where the interment viii take place in the
Randall family vault in Laurel Hill Gene

Col. stanton's Rich Find.


DENVER. Col, l3-Uolonel Stanton, COM
mander of the recent exploring expedition
in the Grand Cannon of the Colorado river,
has made public some interesting precious
mineral discoveries, which his party made
in that far-famed canon. MIR. Stanton has
a fine selection OF specimens, consisting OF
all the well-known precious minerals, as
well as coal marble, etc. He says that 400
lailes OF the canon shows wealth Of the
precious mineral. The steep walls Of the
canon show quartz veins in places and assays
from specimens obtained ON the trip down
the river demonstrate that these veins are Of
remarkable richness The action of the
water has worn smooth the sides OF the can
on. and the vein matter is clearly discernible
TO the naked eye. Placer gold is found
nearly the entire length Of the river. Every
point panned produced color, and in places
the bars were found 10 contain gold in sur
prising quantities. Ia one place south Of
Lees Ferry, veins were found which had
evidently been developed in a crude way by
the Indians, perhaps by The now extinct
race OF the Aztecs. Mr. Stanton says the
placeIs could be easily worked because thee
is no lack of water facilities. Col. Stanton
is Of the opinion thai be has re located the
bonanza discovered by Major Powell's ex-
pedition in 1864.

PHILADELPHIA, April l5 Flags are dis
played at half mast over several prominent
clubs. including all the Democratic clubs,
for Mr.. Randalls death Prominent men
of all political views express profound re-
gret for the loss of the eminent statesman.
Dr. Martin. of this city, Mr. Randall's ply
sician from the beginning Of the fatal illness.
says that Mr. Randall seemed 10 have known
since last fall thai his case was hopeless,
though never mentioning the matter direct
ly. He was never informed that he had
cancer. The doctor consulted his relatives
and friends and they advised against such a
declaration. Mr.. Randall may possibly have
known the truth, however, from other
sources
Contrary TO the frequently published
statements, there was never an operation
performed upon the patient. An operation
would have done no good. Nr. Randsll's
