opportunity yesterday to mako speeches to
Referee Raequer and the lawyers who are try

the counsel for the Republican League. Mr.
Daggett said that he didn't know that Col
Dudley had ever told him that there had been
an arrangement between the League and the

kopee was chosen as grand overseer. For
the Office Of recorder there were three con-
testants; }. W. Soule of Rochester, ]. News

OF Grand Master Workman Ecketein. The

better. All death losses are PROMPTLY paid

buildings are completely demolished. Hun

the Wolf creek valley. The house
Of Dominick Greader, at Cross and
Washington streets, was unroofed and
Mrs. Greader was slightly injured.
The wind struck Gebhart Herman's house.
The family of nine persons had just sat
house in all its fury and hurled the dining
room like flying top landing it fifty feet
away. All the occupants were more or less
bruised. Mr.. Herman was pinned dow
in the DEBRIS and only the energy of de-
spair, when he smelt the odor of the fire
near him, enabled him to extricate himself.
Recovering, he found
HIS LITTLE GIRL BURNING
by the overturned stove, and before the
flames could be extinguished she was fright
fully burned about the back and limbs. At
the corner of Brown and Exchange streets
O. G. Bakers grocery was torn to pieces.
His wife and daughter were in the build
ing at the time but they made good
their escape to the cellar and were saved,
but Mr.. Baker is missing, and it is feared
that he is dead in the ruins. The family of
Melvin Irish had just seated themselves at
supper when Mrs. Irish, warned by some
is coming" She and her two children
managed to reach the cellar before the
crash but Mr.. Irish was caught by heavy
timber and his spine was seriously injured.
Mr.. Irifh was probably fatally injured. The
extent of the tornado is at this time unex-
plored, and the damage cannot be stated.
All descriptions of the story show that it
was rotary in its motion, and this is shown
by the skewing of the buildings it struck
and the twisting off of the big trees in its
path. The track was between fifty and one
hundred and fifty feet wide.

DESERVED CONSIDERATION.
Rapid Development Necessitates
More Surveys in Washington

Rapid Development Necessitates
More Surveys in Washington
State.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram.
Wilson of Washington
appeared before the subcommittee on ap-
propriations and was heard in reference to
needed increase of appropriations for sur
veys in his state. The commissioner of the
general land Office was present, and sub
stantiated the statements made by Mr..
Wilson. Chairman Cannon, when Wash
ington was reached, stated that the State of
Washington was deserving the fullest con-
should be appropriated for the survey Of
the 700, 600 acres set aside in the enabling
act for state institutions, so that the state
might make its selections. During the
years 1886, 1887 and 1883 only 4OO, 600 acres
were surveyed. The rapid settlement Of
the country has left only ZOO, 900 acres Of
seaxsysd seass of lands t.. 'ns sSas .els: ss:
surveyed. The quantity now surveyed is
not large enough to allow the surveyor gen.
eral to select lands for the state. He re-
ferred to the town site OF Port Angelus,
which had been set aside by the govern
ment twenty-one years ago, and all lots sur
veyed and plated had been sold. and rec
ommended that the additional 2, 600 acres
be at once plated. As it was more likely
that the government would get more than
the cost of survey the committee decided to
recommend 5000 for the survey of Port
Angeles The committee instructed the
commissioner to give pro rata statement
OF the amount he would allow each state
Mr.. Cannon said there was no doubt but
Washington had been neglected, and its
rapid development necessitated large ap-
preparation. Mr.. Wilson prefers to have
the amout fixed in the sundry civil bill now
under preparation, rs it is then sure of pas
sage. The withdrawal of arid lands will
no doubt leave many states with small ap-
propriations, and the deserving states VIII
this year get increased amounts.

DUBUQUE SHAKEN UP.

A Mammoth Lightning Bolt Ex-
plodes Over the City.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, Special Telegram,
The most terrific storm in years visited
this section last night and this morning.
rained all day Friday an toward night tia
storm redoubled in intensity. The rainfall
was terrific. During the twenty-four hours
ending at o'clock this morning 34 inches
of rain fell. At 11:30 last night magnifi-
cent electrical display began. Terrible
lightning flashes and peals of thunder fol-
lowed each other at intervals. Just at a
quarter to midnight came fash and report
which awoke half the inhabitants of
the city from sound sleep.
The sound was terrific. Every
telephone bell in the city was
set to ringing violently and telephones in
the city were burnt out and made utterly
accompanied by an amazing electrical dis
play. Operators at the main Western Union
office say a huge ball of fire, reddish in
color, f1oated across the room when the
great lightning fash came. Several wires
were burnt out. At the Illinois Central
dispatcher's office similar phenomenon
was observed. The lightning struck the
through the building to the operators
room. Here it burned out the instruments,
set the train sheets on fire and splintered
the floor. Operator L. B. Hull, who was
seated at the desk was
KNOCKED TO THE FLOOR.
He got up an put out the fire in the floor
with the assistance of the depot master.
Operator Hull declares that balls of fire
played around the instruments as the flash
came. Police and others who were on the
streets at the time say huge meteor flashed
across the sky. They describe ball OF
greenish fire as big as nail keg. Directly
over Main street it burst with a sound like
the explosion of a cannon. Pieces flew in
every. direction and jets of many colored
fire filled the air. Ten minutes after this
flash the western horizon was lit up with a
glare of fire. The department was called
out, but the fire was found to be several
miles outside the city limits. Balls of fire
struck the residence of Thomas Alsop at
ripping up the shingles. A large barn bc
longing to Thomas Cootes at Center Gro
was struck by lightning and burned to the
ground, together with two horses and sew
eral head Of cattle. The building burned
almost instantly, and the heat was so in
tense that no one could approach it. About
1:3O o'clock huge water way draining the
northwestern part of the city burst its stone
covering, and tore great hole in the flag
stone paved street. At2 O'Clock two young
ladies and three gentlemen returning from
party in double closed carriage drove
into the abyss. The team went down, but
torrent The driver and one of the gentle
men were swept out into the food but
managed to climb out. One of the horses
was swept away by the torrent, carried
through the sewer several blocks, and
thrown out at the foot of Fourteenth street.
