A FUNNEL-SHAPEDC CLOUD
AWFUL DESTRUCTION LEFT IN IT'S
WAKE.
A Large Strip of Country Devastated at
Channahon, Illinois-Many People Re-
ported Killed and Injured.

JOLIET, ILL.,, June 1O.-A funnel-shaped
cloud passed through the village of
Channahon, at 8 o'clock tonight, doing
immense damage and killing and injur-
ing, it is understood, quite number of
people. Channahon is town of about
1000 persons, nine miles south of Joliet,
with no railroad or telegraph facilities. A
large strip of country was devastated.
The reports indicate that the list of
killed and wounded is large. Surgeons
have been sent from here to relieve their
sufferings. From the meagre informa-
tiOn at hand it seems that most of the
damage was in the country around
Channahon, and that a majority of the
casualties occurred outside the town.
Although the place is not far from here,
there is little hope of getting anything
definite from there, owing to the bad
condition Of the roads. While it is be-
lieved the reports SO far resolved are ex-
aggerated, the belief is prevalent that a
great disaster has occurred At a. m.
nothing had been heard from parties
who left here for Channahon.

DITCHED AND ROBBED.
AN EXPRESS TRAIN DERAILED BY
A BAND OF BANDITS.
One Unknown Man Killed in the Wreck.
The Express Car Rif1ed and the Rx-
press Messenger Shot.

TExARKANA, Ark, June 10.-The
west bound cotton belt train, which left
here at midnight left the track at a
spur switch two miles from town. An
unknown man, stealing a ride on the
baggage car, was instantly killed, and
the passengers and trainmen badly
shaken up. The engineer and fireman
had scarcely recovered from the shock
when six-shooters and Winchesters
we're rarnmed in their faces and they
were ordered to lead the van in march
upon the express car. The robbers had
turned the switch and caused the
wreck. They entered the express car,
and, after a short resistance from Mes
senger Nesbitt, went through the safe,
securing, it is claimed, less than 5000.
After they had gone through this car
the robbers marched the engineer and
fireman and messenger about 500 yards
from the track, seated them on log,
and told them to remain there with
their eyes shut for one hour. When
the bandits had gone distance of about
fifty yards they turned and fired volley
at the men on the log. The messenger was
shot through the left hand, and another
bullet pierced his ear. The robbers then
disappeared. 1t required but short
time to notify the officers here, who are
now in pursuit of them. One party has
been arrested, but not fully identified
Yesterday $4,000 was taken from the
Southern Express office to the depot
and sent north. 1t is supposed the rob-
berS thought the money was going
south. Great excitement prevails on
account of the robbery. Within the last
few years several robberies have been
perpetrated within radius OF 100 miles
of here. The people here are exasper-
ated, and if the guilty parties are caught
Judge Lynch will save court expenses.
ST. LOUIS, June 10.-Another account
of the robbery, received by the Republic
from Little Rock, asserts that Messenger
Nesbitt was killed, and that the robbers
secured at least $40, 900. 1t is believed
the robbers are part of the old Steve and
Rube Burrows gang.

BURIED ALIVE.
A CHICAGO CEMETERY SUPERIN-
TENDENT'S<GRUES JOKE.
Mysterious Sounds Inside Coffin Lead
to the Spreading of Sensational Re-
ports-Suspicious Circumstances.

CHICAGO, June 10.-An evening paper
publishes lengthy and sensational ac-
count of the death and alleged inter
ment alive of Gustave Cantor, which,
when brought down to statement of
facts, seems merely suspicious case.
The story was first told by workman
named John Stier, who said that on
February 25th last, when passing Ridge
Lawn cemetery, Superintendent Mil
Ter called him in. Miller was
filling in new grave, and told
Stier that he believed the man in the
coffin was alive. They listened and
heard sounds which Stier claims sounded
as if made by some one rapping on the
inside of the coffin. Miller, however,
continued to fill in the grave, and water
also ran in, covering the coffin, and the
sounds ceased Stier says Millersubse-
quently reopened the grave and found
the body distorted, and every evidence
that death occurred after interment.
Superintendent Miller, when ques-
toned by reporter, said when bury
ing Cantor he did hear noises, but on
taking off the lid of the coffin, found the
man was unmistakably dead. After re-
placing the coffin lid, he saw Stier- pass
ing, and thought it would be a good
joke to scare him, which he did. He
subsequently clinched the story by tell
ing OF his alleged exhumation. The
noises In the grave, he now thinks,
were caused by water running in around
the coffin.
At the hospital today it was stated
that Cantor died of heart disease, and
the physicians scout the idea that he
subsequently revived.
A still more sensational story waspub-
hshed as follows:
Last Saturday the funeral of John
Buske, who died suddenly, was held at
the residence. Friends remarked at his
nfe-llke appearance, but the doctors
pronounced the, man dead. When the
cortege reached the cemetery some one
suggested that the coffin be opened. but
this was voted down, notwithstanding
that tapping from the inside of the
coffin indicated that there was life there.
AS the body was being lowered into the
grave the tapping became more pro-
nounced, but the burial proceeded.
Yesterday the grave was opened and the
coffin was removed, and an examination
made. Buske's body was twisted. the
features distorted, the tongue bitten
nearly in two, and the finger-nails en-
bedded in the flesh. There was eyerv
indication that horrible struggle had
taken place.

MORMON PROPERTY,
Senator Edmunds Introduces a Bill to
Provide for it's Disposal

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Senator Ed
munds has introduced bill in the SEN
ate providing that all funds or other
property lately belonging to-, or in the
possession of, or claimed by the corpor-
alton ofthe Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, shall be devoted to
the benefit of public schools in Utah,
the money to be disposed of by the sec
retary of the interior in such manner as
shall seem to him most expedient. The
supreme court of Utah is invested with
authority to make all necessary and
proper orders and DEGREES for the pur-
pose. After the United States supreme
court rendered decree annulling the
charter and escheating to the United
states the property OF the Mormon
church, it withheld the decree in the
case through a desire to find the best
method OF disposing. of the confscated
property or finding private owners TO
whom it might be reverted. The object
of Senator Edmunds's bill is to decide by
congressional enactment to what use
the money and property may be de-
voted, and relieve the court OF it's en-
barrassment.

VICTORIA, B. c., June 1O.-The little
steamer North Star has been seized by
Customs Inspector Young on charges Of
violating the Canada customs act. Cap
tain Angel Eiffel and Fred Jones are the
owners OF the North Star. The steamer,
it is alleged, has been for the past six
months engaged in carrying Chinese
from British Columbia into Wash
ington. The programme has been to
run out OF Victoria at night, land her
contraband cargo at some quiet place on
the American shore, and at once shoot
back into Canadian waters. The Chin
ese smuggled out are disposed of to Mon
golian contractors, who pay $50 to $25 a
piece for them. The buyers have agents
at hand whenever the landing is made,
and the Chinese are secreted for two or
three days, and then shipped to Seattle,
Portland or California points. The
North Star is also accused of bringing
back American goods and landing them
along the coast, near Victoria, and this
caused her seizure. 1t is also
stated that she neglected to clear at the
customs house before departing on some
OF her nocturnal trips. The owners
allege that they never brought goods to
Victoria, but it is considered improbable
here that the Canadian officials would
aid the United States officers, as the lat
ter never reciprocate. The Victorians
consider the practice of running Chinese
into the United States as good one, as
it rids the city of them.

PARIS, June 10.-In the chamber of
deputies today Ribot, minister of for
eign affairs, read frances note to
Egypt. France contends that the time
has arrived when England, in accord
ance with her many declarations and
the self-congratulations of her ministers,
and for the prosperity and security of
Egypt, ought to evacuate the country.
The note expresses surprise that the
powers do not agree to recognize that
the profits of conversion ought to be ap-
piled to increasing Egypt's military
forces in order to enable her to dispense
with British troops. Believing, how
ever, that all parties interested are dis
posed to give the subject frank consider
alton, France assented to the conversion
scheme, reserving the question of evacu-
alton for further negotiations. M.
Ribot declared that France desired cor
dial relations with England, but would
lose no opportunity to protest against
England's establishing herself in Egypt.

and Absconder.
paper prints the statement that Wallace
Beck, secretary of the Pacific Paving
Company, who disappeared March 18th,
left shortage in his accounts of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. Beck's
whereabouts are unknown, though it is
reported he was seen recently in Seattle.
Others state that he went to Mexico.
The shortage and departure OF Beck
has been kept secret, for though it oc-
CURED on March 18th, it has Just been
made public. J. H. Swift, general man
ager of the Pacific Paving Company, adj
mitted today that Beck had disap-
peared, and that there was a shortage in
his accounts. How large the shortage
was he said he did not know, as the in
vestigation of his books and accounts
has not been completed. Mr.. Swift
also said that other employees of the
company might be implicated. At
present, he said, it looks as if there
would be quite loss to the company.
Wallace Beck, who is son Of the ex-
congressman and lately United States
appraiser, Thomas Beck, has been Sec
retary of the Pacific Paving Company
since it's organization, nearly three
years ago. He was also secretary of the
Consolidated Bituminous Rock Com
pany. He is about % years OF age. He
had the full confidence of the directors,
for he appears to have handled all the
funds Of the companies.

SAN Francisco. June 1O.-A Chronicle
special from Olympia, Washington,

member of the state board of education,
announced to the board this afternoon
that he had been offered five thousand
dollars as bribe to bring abouta recon-
sideration of recent action of the board
in regard to text books. He also laid
before the board a check for the money
drawn in his favor, by G. f. Eames, on
the First National Bank of Portland,
Oregon.
Last Thursday the board adopted text
books for the state, the American Book
Company, representing the book trust,
receiving about twenty-eight per cent OF
the awards.
Two members of the board had voted
constantly for all the trust agents repre-
sented by Eames, who is connected
with a detective agency in Portland.
He wanted Leach to move for reconsid-
Grafton, so far as readers and arithmetics
were concerned, which would give the
trust houses eighty per cent of the
awards. Leach was promised five
thousand dollars and certain other con-
siderations.
Leach moved to reconsider yesterday.

He Claims That There is no Probability
of an European War.
LONDON, June 10.-The TeeqrGph to-
day continues it's report of an interview
with Bismarck. Nobody, he said, was
more earnest for peace than Emperor
William, who was bent upon internal
reforms and had no idea OF aggression.
When asked whether it was possible to
extinguish French grievances by the
restoration of the Rhine provinces to the
French, he declared that their restora-
ton was utterly impossible, and that it
must be left to time to remove their re-
sentiment. Relations with Russia, he
said, were equally good, and she cer-
tainly would not attack Germany. The
czar is ayerse to conquest and dislikes
physical exertion, point that
is not without Importance to
the peace of Europe. The triple
alliance, Bismarck said, was certain
to endure. Only the most unforeseen
accident could disturb European peace.
He thought it impossible that England
and Germany should ever go to war. If
they quarreled it might lead to con-
genital conflict, even if England alb
stained from fighting. This, however,
was a wildly improbable contingency
The African dispute, said Bismarck, is
trifing matter, and he believed Sails
bury's temperate words are more to
England's taste than Stanley's fierce
ones. In conclusion, Bismarck spoke
in the highest praise of the late En-
peror Frederick, saying had he lived he
would have astonished the world by the
vigor of his personality and rule.

Military Credits.

He said he regretted to be compelled to
declare that the military credits submit
ted could not be reduced. The budgets
demands only represented the founda-
ton on which building must be con-
tinued during the next few years. I'M
pOrtant augmentations of the military
forces of the empire were becoming una
voidable. The question of raising a
peace-effective would have to be consid-
cred. Other states studied to increase
their military strength, and Austro- Hun
gary could not remain inactive, although
the government would not be able to
sustain its resources to such an extent
as was being done by Germany. The
demands contained in the budget were
the extreme minimum which the gov
ernment couldgo.

Passport Regulations Kept Up Despite

BERLIN, June 1O.-In the reichstag to-

question, said passport regulations in
Alsace-Lorraine were rendered neces-
sary and in number of cases could not
be abolished for long time to come.
The severity of their provisions, how
ever, had been removed by their milder
application. Gratifying signs of ina
provement are apparent in the relations
between Germany and France. should
regret to see them again brought in
trouble. In no country are interna-
tional relations so difficult or necessary
for indulgent consideration as in Ger
many"
Several Alsacian deputies declared
that the passport regulations injured
the economic condition, and had no Ger
manizing influence.
