CLEVELAND, July 9.-The wind storm
which swept the city last evening was the
most severe ever experienced. In advance
of the storm there seemed to be number
of sharp, quick gusts that wrecked chin
neys, blew down trees, and sent everythi ng
movable through the air. It's coming was
shown by cloud of dust one hundred feet
high, which obscured the sun and made the
streets as dark as night. Not single OBJ
ject could be discerned at distance Of fifty
feet. Fine dust filed the eyes, sifted into
the clothing, and breathing to those on the
streets was impossible without handker
chief pressed to the nostrils. Then came
the rain in rushing, swirling sheets that
beat down many plants and caused an
exceedingly heavy loss to crops. In
every part of the city large trees were
uprooted. The damage on the ore docks
along the old river bed will amount to at
least $4,000. The telegraph and telephone
companies lost number of wires,- while
the service of the fire and police depart
ments were nearly wrecked. Half dozen
yachts inside the breakwater were blown
adrift. Several houses in the course of
erection were so badly twisted that it will
be necessary to rebuild them.

The Union Pacific Purchasing Agent Lost
His Head.
OMAHA, July 9.-[Special. There is good
authority for saying that the half has not
been told about G. H. McKibbin's crooked
ness while general purchasing agent of the
Union Pacific road. What has not been
made public will, however, come out in due
time and create greater sensation than
the first exposure, by duplicating other
parties. Mr.. McKibbin's lawyers say, also,
that they expect to make a showing full of
hot weather surprises, but the company and
people predict that they will never go into
court. II could tell the young man." said
one official, "that he would be very foolish
to do 90. So far as know, there is not a
parallel case of such high handed rascality
in the history OF. any American railroad,
McKibbin's ability is unquestioned. His
judgment of material excels that of any
man ever known, but the opportunity he
saw for quickly making big fortune seems
to have completely turned the young mans
head.''

The New Geyser,

ST. PAUL, July 9.-General Passenger
Agent Fee, of the Northern Pacific railroad
to-day received a message from Manager
Waters. of the Yellowstone National Park,
regarding the bursting out of the New
Crater geyser yesterday. It quieted down
somewhat during last night. At $50 this
morning there was solid column of steam
forced up constantly to the height
of from LEO to It's feet, about IS
feet in diameter. The roaring has subsidized
considerably. The location is exactly
identical with the New Crater geyser.
The old hole is enlarged to the width of
about eight feet and new hole is visible
about six feet from the old one, which is
ing out of it. All the pine trees in the
neighborhood are covered with sediment.
The present appearance seems to indicate
that the crater will go down soon.
