GENTLY on our streets and through
these columns to cause our citizens
do something with this burning dis.
grace If they intended to, but it is
a true saying, "What is every body's

this is the reason the fence has not
been completed. Nice cedar posts

RAPIDLY RECOVERING.

An Army of workmen Engaged In Re-
pairing the Damage Done by the Louis
Vile Cyclone-No Want of Food or
Shelter.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April 5.-One week
has now elapsed since the tornado and
the city is rapidly recuperating from
its effects. The work of repairing the
wrecked district is going vigorously
forward and that portion Of the city is a
beehive of carpenters, masons and Ia
borers. Business has resumed its regu-
lar channels. The danger of water
famine from the destruction of stand
pipe at the waterworks has been
averted by the substitution of tenn
porary apparatus, which has been work.
ing satisfactorily for two days. Water
will be turned on to all consumers to-
day and many factories which were
forced to stop will resume.
An exaggerated impression has gone
abroad as to the extent of the district
devastated. Except in the direct track
of the whirling tornado, no damage was
done and nineteen-twentieths of the
city is unharmed. In fact, outside the
cyclones path, the storm was not one Of
unusual severity. There is no suffering
for food or shelter, but many poor peo-
pie who lost their homes will require
money to rebuild.
While Louisville is not soliciting aid
from the outside, voluntary subscrip-
tions from other cities will be gratefully
received and usefully applied. Only
two or three of the wounded by the
cyclone have since died, and the list of
deaths is only seventy-six, gratifying
reduction from the wild reports the first
day that hundreds were killed. The
Union Depot will be rebuilt on larger
scale and the tobacco district will be
built UP better than it was before.

Sad Results of Foreclosure Proceedings
Against Jersey Farmers--One of the Vic
Tins becomes Insane and Suicides.
HARBoR CITY, N. j., April 5.-0ne Of
the most exciting events ever known in
this section took place Thursday and
Friday in the form of sheriff's sale of
lands of the Germania districts, includ-
ing Mullica, Galloway and Hamilton
townships, under the foreclosure insti-
tuted by the heirs of Stephen Colwell.
A mortgage for $50, 900 was given thirty
years ago to Stephen Colwell by the
Gloucester Farm and Town Association,
which purchased the land in ques-
tion at that time. Upon the association
failing to pay the taxes levied by the
township committees it was sold for
taxes, the purchasers thinking that the
tax titles given them by the township
were valid, under acts passed by the
Legislature at that time authorizing
such sales. These acts have teen de-
clared by the Supreme Court not to de-
feat the mortgage lien, and this mort
gage therefore remains firm, and was
ordered foreclosed.
Great distress will be inflicted upon
many farmers, who thus lose the lands
they have been cultivating for years.
The wives and children of these farm
ers gathered around the hotel while the
sale was in progress, and the scene was
very affecting one. Over hundred
of these farms have been planted by the
recent owners with peach, pear and
other fruit trees. Berries and grapes
have also been extensively cultivated.
Now all the labor of years has sud-
denly been declared to be for nothing.

Desperate Assault on Jewelry Salesman
by n Would-be Robber in n Room OF tho
Palmer House Mt Chicago.
CHICAGO, Apsil A bold attempt to
rob leading jewelry firm of S1,50o
worth of diamonds was made Th ursday
by young man who registered at the
Palmer House last Sunday under the
dame of Ralph A. Allen. Yesterday
afternoon Allen sent to Hyman, Berg g.
Co.. IS jewelry store and requested the
firm to send some diamonds to him for
inspection, as he was suffering from a
sprained ankle and unable to visit their
store. William A. Bigler, salesman
for the firm, carried $1,000 worth of
stones to Aliens room. After carefully
examining all the jewels ALE selected
one ring and pin.
While the salesman was repacking the
remainder of the diamonds, A lien came
up behind him and struck him terrible
blow with heavy cane on the back OF
the head, knocking him down. AS the
salesman got upon his feet and faced his
assailant, Allen struck him again, cut
ting wound two inches long in the
scalp. The wounded man screamed and
Allen, without stopping to grab the
package of diamonds, rushed out of the
room and ran down the hallway. After
an exciting chase Allen was captured by
an employe of the hotel and taken to
the Harrison street station. Bigler's
wounds are not dangerous unless inflam-
nation should set in.
When searched at the station a note
book, issued by the Union Trust Com
pany of Philadelphia, and bearing the
name of George A. Pearce was found in

say that he was not willing to tell his

MARAupING REDSKINS.

Cheyenne Indians on Cattle Stealing
Raid-Tcoops Pursue the Rascals.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 5.-The mail
carrier between Sun Dance and Buffalo
and c. w. Rounds, who accompanied
him, report seeing band of Cheyenne
Indians at the head of Fortification
creek, in Crook County, running down
and killing range cattle. The band was
supposed to be from the Rosebud agency
in Montana. The news created great
excitement in Buffalo and an urgent
request was made by stock owners to
Colonel Henry, commandant at Fort
Mckinney, to send troops to drive the
marauders back to the reservation. A
detachment of cavalry and scouts were
dispatched.
No loss of life is apprehended, but the
presence of the troops will effectually
scare the Indians from the country.
Cattlemen and ranchmen will be heavy
sufferers in stock killed. The country
between the scene of the present raid
and the Rosebud reservation is almost
impossible for troops, being the "bad
lands" of Mo- thern Wyoming. The Indi-
ans can travel through it without diff
Guilty and there is but slight possibility
of their capture

New YORK, April Am interesting
illustration of the practical operations
of the phonograph was given at the
Hoffman House last evening. The oc-
casion was banquet tendered d to his
old army comrades by Colonel G. e.
Gouraud, who has been for years identi-
fed with the application of various
electrical inventions to useful purposes
in European countries. Although
Colonel, Gouraud is an America an and
served with distinction as staff officer
in the Union Army during the Civil
War, no resides in England. The mill"
tary feature of the evening wis Colonel
Gouraud's special muster into the Grand
Army of the Republic.
The guests were summoned to the
dining hall by the bugle call which had
been played into a phonograph at Lon
don by the band of the Coldstream
Guards, and during the dinner the
phonograph continued to astonish and
delight the company with reproductions
of instrumental music. Mr.. Gladstone's
address was reproduced again by re-
quest, as at the recent meeting of the
Lawyers Club. Colonel Gouraud will
return to London and carry back with
him the resolutions adopted at the Law
yers' Club complimentary to Mr.. Glad
stone, who will hear them from the
phonograph in General Sherman's voice.
