and twisted like withs, pines and naples

and across the roads, chimneys blown down
in all directions. The railroad bridge across
the Carrabassett is twisted and wrenched so
it is not safe to cross; in some places the
timbers have sprung 80 inches. The Patter-
son bridge across the Kennebec is impas-
sable for teams. The following barns were

WINTHROP, July 9.-Mrs. Polena B. Shaw
so fearfully injured by a falling belfry in
last nights cyclone. died today. No other
injuries to persons are repo rted, with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Bates, who drove under
large tree to seek protection from the rain,
and a moment later had it cover him, car
riage and all, as it fell His injuries are
slight, however. 1t was regular western
cyclone, and no imitation, as the condition
of things in its path will testify. 1t is de-
scribed by eye witnesses as presenting the
form af large, funnel-shaped cloud, which
rolled and twisted about as it came towards
the town. 1t appeared like big mass of
ashes rolling along, and as it reached the
school house it seemed to burst, and it
lashed things about at fearful rate for
lew moments. 1t was Of short duration,
and no damage has been reported outside
the village limits.
But few houses in its path escaped with
out something to mark its passage. Vases
were thrown from shelves, pictures dashed
from the walls, and in one case large fence
post was thrown into the second story win
dow. Several of the houses were badly
racked and wrenched, but none so bad as to
render them unsafe. The Methodist church
which lost its steeple, shows signs of bad
but few years, and in iU was hung 1900
pound bell 1t is said to have been securely
IN place. but of course was not so safe as If
the timbers had extended down into the
framework of the building In its
fall it tore away the side of
Chester Shaw's house and threw
his mother who was shutting down win
dow, out through the ragged opening onto
the ground. The bell was uniniured.
Maple Cemetery, whose trees were the pride
OF the village, presents as bad, if not worse
appearance than did Portland's parks after
the ice storm. Large trees are wrenched
and twisted off, most of them breaking near
where they branch out. About 80 are in
this condition and the driveways are impas-
sable. Luckily the stones and monuments
suffered lightly as the trees, breaking as they
did, did not fall as heavily on them as if
broken at the roots. Main
street suffered lightly in regard to .trees
as but few were in the storms path and
several of the best ones withstood its fury.
The cyclone played the usual number of
queer tricks in its passage and scattered
bean poles and other garden fixtures to the
winds. Several gardens suffer badly.

ORIGINAL Package Casaa.

ABERDEEN, 5. D., July 9.-The injunction
suits brought against the keepers Of local
original package houses were up for argu-
ment before Judge Campbell Of the Circuit
Court yesterday. The district attorney, in
his argument raised the point that Congress
had already passed upon the right Of the
state to prohibit the importation of liquors
by admitting South Dakota with prohibit
ory clause in her constitution. "In this re-
spect," he urged, "South Dakota is In diff
fereEt position from that of any other state
in the Union. Congress has, tacitly, at
least, recognized her right to exclude liq-
uors." The affidavits upon which the in
junction was issued show that the package
shops were public drinking places, and the
prosecuting attorney, citing the clause OF
the state law declaring places of this chaIac-
ter public nuisances, made strong argu-
ment i'm support OF the Injunction.
