at the Alameda County Clerks office and
asked Cupid" Edgar for marriage license.

put at 10 and her nativity Michigan. Sus-
pecting that the girl was not so old as she
stated, although she looked it, the clerk
further questioned her and she said that
her age is 49, Mr.. Edgar asked her then if
she would sign the affidavit and she did so
and sWore TO her age. Yesterday afternoon
her mother, brother and aunt visited the
County Clerks Office to ascertain il the re-
ports were true that they had obtained a
license. They found the reports only too
true. Mrs. Lieyre said the girl is only 10
years of age and that both perjured them
selves. She was opposed to them marrying
and they ran off 10 Oakland. The mother
and aunt are dressmakers.

AKRON, O., May it.--Darkuess shut Ill so quickly after tho tornado that tore through the southern part of the city Sat. urday evening that not half an idea could he got of the fierccness or extent of tho terrible storm. To day has been so calm and sunshiny that even the half dozen peeple who stood about their wrecked bomts scarcely realized that elements could ever work themselves into such q fury.
 Prof, Egbcrt, of Baehtel College, who was ost in the storm, calculated that IL was travelling at the rate of four miles a minute, so that its track of about mile and hall through this city WIS trayersed in little more than twenty seconds It moved in almost straight line through we'll settled part of the city, and scarcely foot of tho mile but Is strewn to day with splin- tered house tlnbers. broken furniture uprootcd trees and ieveled barns and out houses. In trip over the storms path today nineteen dwellings were counted that were either ripped into klndl.ng wood or so badly wrecked that they can not be occupied. Families numbering atout SC zen five persons in all. are out oi house and home and are being sheltered by friends.

 Hive Chance,
THE CHICAGO ANARCHISTS
Ben Butler Says They Were Imprisoned Without Due Process Of Law, and They Wili Apyiy for a Writ
 of Habcas Corpus.

CHIcseo, Ill, May i4,-Preparations have been made to attempt to secure the release from the Pen of the convicted an archists, Fielden, Schwab and Neebe, by a method heretofore not hlnted at in the case In short time an application will be made to Judge Gresham for writ of habeas corpus, on tho ground that the prisoners are detained without due process of law. No less an authority than Bcnja- min r. Butler says that the effort will almost beyond doubt be successful, the opinion being based on the expressions of tue United States Supreme Court in the proceeding heretofore brought before that body Butler is a regularly retained asso- clate counselor in the case.
 The anarchists lawyers say the writ of habcas corpus will be asked for on the ground that after the sentence of death was passed upon the condemned anarchists, and Neebc was doomed to spend fifteen years in the Penitentary, the case was appealed to the Supreme Court, where the HhN'hR ui tue iuNef court, Wltu the sen tencc of death for Spies, Parsons, Lingg Fischer, Engel, Schwab and t'ielden, was affirmed. The prisoners were not taken before tho Supreme Court to hear this affirmation of their sentence, and their lawyers were not even notified to be present. The claim was made that this was breach of their constitutional rights and that the Constitution says that, q sen tencc of death rendered in the absence of the prisoners was not due process of law.
 Gen. Butler writes under dato of May io' After giving sufficient examination to the record in the caso of t'icldeu, have come fully to tho conclusion that such ac tion is erroneous in that Il was an attempt to tako his life without due process of law therefore advise very strongly your talk ing writ Of error to have such procedure cnrte ectesl by tho Judgment of tho Supreme Count of the United States, If any teehni cal objections are made to the Circuit Court, for writ of haheas corpus for Fisldou because under that writ tho facts as well as the law can be discussed. and forms are of no consequence wien they stand ia tho way Of duo course Of justice or course the decisions cf these questions relieve any of his fellows who arc suffer il from the same euor, 1T decided as I tssievc they must bo. save the men whose

A HEAVY WlND-oTORM
A Small Hurricane at Mis-
 souri's Capital.
THE CAPITOL IS UNROOFED
And the Raln Beats Into the state Onices Doing some DsmpEe--The Cath ole Chufca Injured by
 tho storm

JEFFERSON City, Mo, May l3.-A tor hado struck the capital at 4:3o o'clock yesterday afternoon and for half an hour the wind blew hurricane, driving before it n storm of rain winch SO enveloped the town that nothing could be seen but the vivid flashes of lightning The storm came from the southwest, crossing the river at this point and doing great violence 10 forest trees. At AS o'clock the wind had risen almost to the force of a cyclone and as it came roaring across the hills it struck the State Capitol with terrific force, carry ing with 1t the roof of the northern end of the Capitol building. Rafters, beams, tin, huge ventilaters and iron work were rolled together like scroll and carried over the blnY. At tho same moment half a dozen tres in the Capitol Park were snapped in twain and the glass in the windows came tumbling with n crash into the rotunda The build Eg itself stood as solid as . rock To night workmen are very busy covering tue top of the Auditors and Treasurer's office with tarpauiin, but it is thought the cell iugs are badly damaged by the rain falling through.
 The Catholic Church was damaged to the extent of sl 300 by the falling of a largo iroo cross and anchor which crashed through the roof and into the basement, completely dismanteling the altar. This is a sad blow to Rev Father Hoog who had expected to leave in few days for a trip to Europe,
 The wind also carried away the roof of the hospital at the State Penitentiary, but did m other injury To that institution Telephone and electric light wires, fences and trees were scattered in every direc tion, but so far as can be ascertained no injury to life was done.
